If you have any of the Satoshi,
That didn't make it into v0.6, but it is coming in a future release. |

even if the store broadcasts it immediately your change won't be confirmed for an hour.
It won't have 6 confirmations but it can be spent right away. The bitcoin client doesn't allow spending on 0/unconfirmed but the protocol allows it, clients will relay it and as long as there are fees paid, miners will likely include it. BlockChain.info is one such wallet which allows immediate spend transactions, for example. |

I use USAA Savings Bank (granted not an option for everyone)
Why isn't it an option for everyone? USAA is no longer just limited to service members and their families (opened banking and checking up to all in 2009). Other services like auto insurance, for example, still have eligibility restrictions. - http://consumerist.com/2009/09/usaa-online-checking-savings-open-for-non-military.htmlIf it isn't yet on the first page of "Most Popular" click to Page 2 and upvote. Heh -- four upvotes (well, five now), and one downvote: My BOA gives all new account holders a bottle of lubricant, for when they get screwed by the bank. It makes it SOOO much easier to take. And .. a must-see infographic (stacks on right are made of pallets of $100 bills, representing size of B of A's derivatives exposure):  - http://demonocracy.info/infographics/usa/derivatives/bank_exposure.html |

It is getting there -- at least one wallet now already accommodates the ability to create a transaction for spending, regardless of connectivity. (And spends properly, where the change transaction goes right back to the same wallet.) If you are using My Wallet from Blockchain.info, then you can create a spend transaction offline. Then if the other side has connectivity, takes that transaction and broadcasts it to the bitcoin network: - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40264.msg851062#msg851062Broadcast: - https://www.blockchain.info/pushtxMy Wallet from BlockChain.info - http://BlockChain.info/walletAdditionally, because there is so little data traffic necessary, even a weak mobile phone signal that is incapable of carrying voice (e.g., bottom level of the concrete jungle shopping mall) might still provide more than enough bandwidth for a quick transaction. Bitcoin won't be the only mobile payment system that will be hobbled if either the merchant or the customer won't have reliable connectivity. As well-funded payment systems from Square, PayPal and Google need the ability for their retail partner's customers to be able to always transact then solutions to make sure connectivity is pervasive and reliable will be found. Areas with a weak mobile signal where retail commerce occurs will get attention from the mobile carriers. Alternatively, if the merchant has internet connectivity that could be shared to the customer for use in payments in a manner that is inexpensive and trivially easy for the merchant to provide. Another method, if you trust the merchant, is a paper wallet approach. Like this: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74978.msg831067#msg831067And related to this topic is an approach augmented with hardware, here: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77141.0and here: - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7539.msg798591#msg798591 - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/In-store_Transactions#Smart_cards |

I received withdrawals from 3 different Bitcoin exchanges recently, and all are still pending, the oldest more than a week old now. This can't be good. I'ld like to see this confirmed as to whether or not this is what every person gets or if it is different based on whether or not your account has the new restrictions Dwolla put in place this week (SSN reqiured, 30 days passed since first deposit from a bank, Hub page enabled). |

I'm generating 1 million shares no matter what.
Would you rather pay 1BTC for each now, and get 50% of mining output.... or pay market prices and get paid nothing for 10 years, 100% goes into growing the mining company, and I sell 1000 shares a month at market prices.
Did I read that correctly? 10 1 million shares owned by you now, then sell 1K of those shares per month for 10 years, means you still have 856,000 shares after 10 years? |

Ha, ... this article violates nearly every one of the recommendations: Don't say
Bitcoin is a way to topple or restrict the power of governments.
Bitcoin is impossible to regulate or control.

Almost every thread where someone starts talking about becoming a new miner they are talked out of it by people who are currently doing it.
Let's take the ideal situation. Let's say the question started out like: Hi guys. I have an extra $2K lying around to buy hardware. I pay $0.10 per kWh. I have a garage that is secure and stays cool. It has plenty of outlets and I already have ethernet out there connected to my broadband internet. I know my way around the command line and can troubleshoot problems fairly well. I've got a little extra time and mining would be a better use of it than watching TV. Once I get my feet wet, I might expand capacity as there is extra room and power to do so if I want.
I doubt anyone would try to dissuade this person from proceeding. Let's take the more typical situation: Hi guys. I got laid off and need money. I have an old Dell PC but think I can borrow a thousand dollars from my girlfiend's father who will go in on this venture 50/50. We live in California so electricity isn't cheap, unfortunately. It gets hot in the summer so I suppose I won't be able to mine year-round. I don't care about the noise or heat, but when the new baby comes I'll have to figure something better as the rig will have to share the room. I'm not really technical but I ran this virus sweeper and it fixed my mom's PC so I should be able to do mining too. The IT guy where I used to work was telling me about how he brings in a thousand dollars a month, all for free, because he already earned more than his hardware cost. What should I buy and how much money can I get from mining?
Or worse: Hi guys. I want to build a mining farm am looking for investors. What hardware do I need? |

Oh, i think i get it now, thank you.
Make sure you are using the most recent release as well, as this issue has been addressed. |

Currently these odds are about 30:1 that there won't be new software running by Jan 1st.)
I think it's the other way around. Speed reading fail on my part. Great, so 30:1 odds saying that in about 8 months this WILL BE running on new software. ... "Tympani"!
At $5.30 current that 2,200 BTC is $11.6K USD for this project. This is by far now the biggest open project, in terms of both bitcoins and the value once converted to USDs ever. |

the due date will be 00 UTC Friday and the lottery numbers will come from the Mega Millions draw on Friday night local (That means it will be actually Saturday UTC when Mega Millions occur) So you are simply ensuring there is a bigger time buffer (over 24 hours) between the deadline and when the Mega Millions draw occurs. That is simpler and does solve the problem! |
