Saw my miners drop out for a few hours today... Tycho, do you need some ideas/help to get it a little more stable/DDoS resistant? Happy to pitch in.

Tracable? I'm pretty sure its RUN by the government. I think we're all getting paid BTC to hash out Bin Laden's secret computer porn stash or whatever the fuck right now. Who else would be interested in computing power better than the top 500 supercomputers combined?
I'm not sure how sarcastic this is... But you do know that the Bitcoin client and the mining programs are open source, and you can look at it to see what they're doing? And that they do exactly what they claim - Hashing block headers to provide proof-of-work for verifying a specific Bitcoin transaction timeline? Semi sarcastic. I know its open source... until its compiled. And who's to say they couldn't create a client to feed their blocks in or something? Who knows. My point is as long as the money spends, I don't really care

Whats up guys?
Okay, so I learned about BitCoin and im pretty excited to jump on the boat.
I do have a few questions.
1. Do you get a permanent bitcoin address? I turned on bitcoin, hit new a few times and got many different addresses.
2. Will the same address ever be used twice?
3. Also, how does mining work? Is it profitable? So far, my bitcoin program has gone through 63,000 blocks but my balance is still at 0.0
Any other tips would be helpful. Thanks.

Business professionals -- the people we are trying to convince to accept bitcoins -- are very turned off by the forums.
We are hoping to swap this forum with weusecoins, prefer a "professional code of conduct" and make that the primary forum.
How about pay per post? Like 0.01 BTC to the forum for each post. I bet you'd see a lot less trolling

So bitcoinwatch is predicting a 40-50% difficulty increase by my guesstimate sometime early Wednesday morning.
My thoughts, which are complete guesses in the dark, with all the volatility, I think we're going to see the price settling back down around $14/BTC, and then I think it will slowly creep back up towards 20 over the next week or so.
I was a little alarmed at first with it dropping like a rock, but looking at the market depth, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars waiting in the $8.00-$10.00 range on the bid side, which tells me a lot of people are looking for a new floor to jump back in. I think a lot of people cashed out at those higher prices, and are sitting on their USD waiting for the correction to sort itself out. I think we'll briefly see it touch down to 7 or 8$ this weekend, and then mon/tues/wed we'll see heavy volume with slow increases up to around $14, and then see it test $18-$20 over the next week or two.
These are all just gut feelings, I just wanted to put this down in writing, so I can look in a week or two and see if my gut instincts are correct.

How do you think google will become self aware? Is the system getting smarter? or u just being sarcastic lol :p
Terminator reference. But like I said, I don't really care who the computing power is going to as long as I'm getting paid. They don't need that much computing power to look into anything the normal person does.

So you agree with me, and think it is run by the government? check my post for tonight
Well, had you said it first, and I said "I agree", I would be agreeing with you. But as I said in my other post that someone has already beat us both to, if the pay is the same, I don't really care. Once Google becomes self-aware, we're all fucked anyway.

release of 1% causes a 110% price drop....
Check that math... $20 minus 110 percent equals... negative $22. $10->$20 = 100% increase $20->$10 = 50% decrease

The chinese currency is already deflationary... and they're going to make huge sums off the interest of the crushing debt the US has invested in.
|

If the pay is the same either way, I don't really care what is in the blocks.

OK. Shoot me a PM when that happens. Im still new so i cant really afford to tie up any BTC for that long just yet. Fantastic idea, and fantastic execution of it. I'd like to request the 100BTC card be made out of carbon fiber somehow

In other news, BitCoin will begin accepting Facebook friend requests as currency, and will be assigning values to all Farmville products. It will henceforce be referred to as "Farming" instead of "Mining" for bitcoins.
The current value is 0.25BTC per friend request. A farmville hay bale is worth 0.02BTC.
All users who delete their MySpace account will receive 0.25BTC as well.

is this still going on? What kind of timeframe for delivery?

Theres no such thing as a "partially decentralized" or "partially anonymous" or "partially digital currency" - some things really ARE black or white. You get the right to just ignore the posts, just like everybody else does. They sink to the bottom until people respond. AKA "Feeding the Trolls"
I'm not one to feed the trolls. But please understand your reasons for being into bitcoins may not be the same reasons why others are getting into it. Maybe the fact that Garzik came out and said that transaction really are traceable, will kill the idea that this is going to be some super underground, network. Garzik really let the rabbit out of the hat when he said that during the Yahoo interview. If you think that bitcoins aren't already working with the government, than you are a fool.. It has been hinted out multiple times, and like I said I will make the epic post tonight, so pay attention, than you can rebuttal me all night . Tracable? I'm pretty sure its RUN by the government. I think we're all getting paid BTC to hash out Bin Laden's secret computer porn stash or whatever the fuck right now. Who else would be interested in computing power better than the top 500 supercomputers combined?

The sky is not falling, but consider this:
"Schumer's top nine campaign contributors are all financial institutions who have contributed over $2.5 million to the senator." "The Securities and Investment industry is the largest donor to Schumer’s senatorial campaigns."
Source: Wikipedia. Is Schumer really concerned about some drugs being sold? Uhhh, no. Is Schumer concerned about the rise of a new system of exchanging value that cuts out his largest donors? More likely. In the letter, the Senators do go out of their way to demonize bitcoin when they didn't have to. This is not a surprise because Senator Schumer is from New York, the center of the financial business in the US.
Legislation is very slow, however. By the time anything happens on the hill, Bitcoin will hopefully be well past stoppable. And, there are interests that would try to block any such legislation. The increased attention received by bicoin may actually help the project.
Regards.
They've done such a bang-up job killing file sharing after all... Schumer doesn't give a flying fuck about anything but Chuck Schumer. It's just a bandwagon for him to jump on that one of his interns read about, probably while looking for boner pills online.

Not really because when price goes back up beyond $31 they'll be OK.
I love how people confuse "if" and "when". Or past with future performance. that person decided he wanted some inflation funny money I also love how people call the thing that you can still exchange almost anywhere in the world for food, travel, goods and services "funny money"(as opposed to BTC which can literally buy almost nothing BUT the funny money, funnily enough). lol +2
