In agreement the account should not be locked unless Fran asks for it to be locked herself.
The possibility Fran has access to all his social media accounts, is high.
There is also a chance that he left a message for us before he died that was entrusted to fran for all we know/went into a cryogenic freezer to be revived if our technology level increases and he wouldn't be happy to see his account locked (One can dream besides being a cypherpunk Hal was an extropian)

@ Scott its the reason Satoshi if it was Satoshi left a message on the P2Pfoundationwebsite.

All good points there are still a few bugs or kinks or rather real world applications to mull over though
The one about being able to pay for a bill, then tip a waiter, and ride a taxi without needing to wait for your unconfirmed transacton to process is a good one and an obstacle to interoperability with Fiat, Visa or Mastercard is a good example of a kink.

Anyways still following the S-Shaped curve only instead of it focusing on user adoption at this time at a rapid pace its occurring in the field of merchant adoption.

As for it being hard to buy, there are still the exchanges and they take a ton of information to verify with but then there are services like Bitcoin ATMs and quickbt as an example of faster ways to purchase bitcoins.

Anyways still an ongoing work in progress as I mentioned but it is progressing nicely.

* Edit nice added to that list while I was composing my reply ^_^

I'll add one get some good deals with Bitcoin like the Labor Day Sale at Newegg
75 dollars off 300 bucks 150 off 500 bucks is a deal ^^

Welcome to Bitcoin Blatchcorn
I kid but in all honesty I respect you for it and hope this works out well for you, which it should seems like a no brainer to me if you hold for the longest time.
Merchant adoption, increasing awareness, it just needs a larger userbase which will take more time.

This is a difficult question, your right having a timing limitation does present a real world problem that I am not sure how would be solved, sending a tip paying for a bill and taking a taxi are real world applications that should be done smoothly.
If possible Hive should allow users to spend up to their max balance without needing to wait for confirmations.

Perhaps a setting to allow unconfirmed txts to be sent as a double spend once the output is released should be improbable if not difficult to execute.

But two payments in one transaction may work but it would require the ability to send more than one address per transaction.
A good puzzle and i'm surprised no one brought it up sooner.

Perhaps having two separate wallets on the same phone, or finding a way to keep different balances all in one overarching user account.
That way an unconfirmed balance can come from one bitcoin address and any change could be taken from another.

Well we were discussing it in politics as well but this is an economic topic by all means.

In my opinion three ways they can do it, they can go mintchip like the Canadians and try to make a digital currency that way, borrowing from the research they did before it was abandoned.

They can go bangla-pesa on it and go with mobile apps and money being stored that way and see how that goes, and then abandon the US dollar peg if it becomes widely successful for them in the country.

Or they could do something else with it entirely since its still shrouded in mystery, but a Central Bank controlled currency amuses me since their is no cap so how it works will be interesting to see, along with more details.

From politics thread
The new currency was approved, and stateless crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin simultaneously banned, by Ecuador's National Assembly last month.

That's socialism for you: ban what is free and open and make it closed and not free..

Well since you brought up a diagram for England and the UK I have to joke a bit
It's already to late Bryant they have a porn ban in the UK what do they have to lose 
http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2013/07/22/seeks-automatic-blocks-online-porn/bBmAJ8KElAophEAwYu6LqJ/story.html

Although I'm not sure if Camerons porn filter is implemented yet, but it would be one step towards Islam in a sense that increasing censorship of all means of communication would occur in either governmental system.

I figured it out I was trying to buy an Xbox 360 and it came bundled with four games as gifts and other things non optional.
Coupon said it didn't work on the gifts although they were more less obligatory
Tried the Xbox One the White Version which is a preorder
Coupon doesn't count preorders to the total even when trying to pay up front so no go.

Tried it with other things couldn't get an Xbox 360 since both are the holiday pack no other choices, but went with the Black Xbox One it works fine so not bad at all.
350 Dollars for a 400 dollar Console can't find a better deal anywhere else since those are fixed priced items.
(Technically its 75 for 300 so at 400 its 325)
(150 for 500 so at 500 its 350)
So another 100 dollar item for 25 bucks  
Good stuff.

I saw the blurb and was tempted to buy something
Had a bit of a problem getting the offer to work though but I was happy to see the option there for people to use it and that it is the 7th panel on the main page.
75 Off 300 150 off 500
And it works on gaming consoles the problem is that I find that its 75 on 500 and does not work on 300 for some reason, although it might be because they don't like Gift additions even if you can't unselect them or preorders.

Adoption is slow but awareness is one step forward, since about half the population is aware of it and a vocal minority of those users use it then it will only be a matter of time before it starts spreading to consumers.
But I guess we are still early adopters in terms of users and moving to mainstream in merchant adoption, in terms of people hearing about it getting mainstream at least.
So two divisions.

Well I want to know where she got some of that from  

Anyways thanks for the picture article saved some reading time, so basically Terrorist Islam is not all Islam
Normal Islam is ok but not exciting enough
Problem she asks we need a more radical ideology solution =  Bitcoiners and Cypherpunks  

Either that or assimilation, if they want to live by your ideals go back to your own country I guess.

So were looking at a want to be North Korea, well to be honest even the DPRK is not that extreme in music its classical, in art Korean only, social studies is the study of their great leader, history is the Korean War and their wonderful victory and psychology is satisfied just like 1984 with the aim of getting to work in Pyongyang.

In other words if ISIS gets control of the world women will wear Hijabs ears will be considered too revealing and we will end up back in the stone ages, but without the pillaging lol.

  
That one was a bit weird I get the Sharia part though but banning the math seems weird.

ISIS also banned weed and burned a field of marijuana plants in Syria this past week.
(Good riddance we don't want any bees that are high on the plants and producing THC honey  )

Hmm is it time for a quarterly financials report
Last one I recall was
Cash flow from Feb 28, 2014 to May 27, 2014:
So May 28 --- Aug 28
Your right it might be about that time but I didn't see any announcement about it.

Well I was thinking if he could get away in an Ecuadorian Convoy waiting outside the building then use the tunnel systems to get into a diplomatic limo it would work, the way they would determine the best way to approach it is by monitoring the monitors and their patterns when vehicles come and go to the embassy, simply put if they are monitoring the movements of the embassy but not what is occurring out of it then it makes more sense to do a transfer outside even if near the embassy.

That said if he wants to escape or leave the embassy some time soon he will have to take the risk even if its with a diplomatic convoy of getting arrested, either that or surrender and make a plea deal.
Its a tricky situation though for him since he could just stay in the embassy but how does he get out of it.

Made it to the loading screen so it looks like its back up for me over here

Well for now the main problem is when Big Data sets can be converted into measurable relevant data
If it can filter out all the noise then we have a problem.
Most of that data is social data so once they are able to get everyone's information innocent or not it brings the idea of anonymity to uncharted waters.

That may actually be correct, if his group is monitoring the traffic and movements of people who enter and leave the embassy and what they do when they monitor them, then it makes sense to use a good sample size and then determine which method is the most efficient one to escape.

That or Assange builds a tunnel sneaks into the sewage system comes out outside the embassy and then takes a ride safely away from there with no one the wiser.
Sounds like The Great Escape ^_^.

What will raise the value of LTC or BTC is adoption that said a car tour or events that utilize these types of technologies and give away stuff to new users to learn more or to sign up and try Bitcoin services would be the best way to get it to grow more.

Well the reason is that they had to do something to get that money usually
And well you don't suck up to a poor person you want to emulate the rich one.
Although in a sense only the rich can afford to help the poor as the poor can't do much to help others as they struggle in their day to day lives let alone have time to be concerned for others.

So in the end the rich may not by happiness but the poor will wallow in it, unless they get out of that and then are able to help others as well.
We start the journey together life takes us along many paths but these challenges help us to grow and its how we handle them that levels the playing field between those who succeed and become rich in the future and those that don't and only can dream of it.

That would be a significant amount more than in 2011 when it was around that price
But it would also make me wonder what was the system that superceded bitcoin or if we would still be here at that time .

Yep, that summed up my points more or less in not so many words.
Either keep trying and get your country to scale, then keep playing that game till it crashes or default start fresh and hopefully get a fresh start without all the entanglements.
