I should note that the transactions went through OK in spite of the quirky network behaviour.

Read the post before offering a "knee-jerk" response.
I'm saying I witnessed something that's impossible. A transaction instantly showing 2 confirmations from 2 past blocks. One block mined 7 mins before the transaction and one 14 mins before. Not possible, so how did it happen?

I made a transaction this morning, it took an hour for 1 confirmation. I watched the blocks come in on block chain.info and there were none for an hour. Then suddenly I got a confirmation and a backlog of 4 blocks showed up on blockchain.info (my wallet is not on block chain.info just using them to see the blocks).
Having 1 confirmation I then made a second transaction and it instantly got 2 confirmation on two of the past blocks that were backlogged.
Impossible, WTF is going on this is fishy as hell.

Antarctica will yield to technology.

Antarctica is destined to be the greatest empire in history. Although the gods will probably sink it, they're giant @#$holes you know.

The official currency of Antarctica is now Bitcoin.

"It will be Going back to stone age. ..." Go back far enough and you find giant perfectly crafted stones cut and manipulated with technology in advance of our own current state of affairs. I'd like to see modern engineers place the baalbek stone in the temple of jupiter. How do you get a block that big up a mountain? |

The fractional reserve fiat system is going to get goxed pushing BTC to $10k, you still won't be able to get more than an oz of gold per BTC.

$453 on Bitstamp, get the bongs ready we're almost there...

I got scammed by Black Arrow, they never delivered the ASICs I ordered. My "career" as a Bitcoin miner was over before it started. At least my GPUs dug up a few Dogecoins before alt-coin mining became unprofitable. Maybe Bitcoin will recover and BA will deliver but, I'm not holding my breath. The situation looks rather bleak right now. On the bright side 4 way crossfire blows the PS3 outta the water and the BA ASICs will make great space heaters when they're finally delivered next winter.  OP: wage slavery sucks dick, go to hell k thx. |

The warmies are fighting a war on trees. First by cutting off the trees supply of CO2 in the name of carbon footprint taxes. Then using that revenue to fund geo-engineering chemtrail mega projects that smother the trees with toxic metals in the name of combating global climate change.

If Empty Gox was selling empty Bitcoin place-holders then whatever was in the hot-wallet (the fraction of the reserve) was all they had. The "missing" Bitcoins are simply the revelation of null Bitcoins. It looks more like fraudulently obtained fiat than missing crypto IMO.
The bigger problem I see here is that banks all run on this fractional reserve system. Anybody holding fiat risks getting "goxed".

Q: What do Bears, Bulls and Whales have in common?
A: They're animals.
People are emotional animals, a person is a reasonable intellect. Bitcoin is not for animals, bad dog!

Or it could just be really expensive snake oil. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwave_1"In January 2014, researchers at UC Berkeley and IBM published a classical model explaining the D-Wave machine's observed behavior, suggesting that it may not be a quantum computer"
http://arxiv.org/abs/1401.7087we outline a simple new classical model, and show that on the same data it yields correlations with the D-Wave input-output behavior that are at least as good as those of simulated quantum annealing. Based on these results, we conclude that classical models for the D-Wave machine are not ruled out.
http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=1400the same USC paper that reported the quantum annealing behavior of the D-Wave One, also showed no speed advantage whatsoever for quantum annealing over classical simulated annealing. In more detail, Matthias Troyer’s group spent a few months carefully studying the D-Wave problem—after which, they were able to write optimized simulated annealing code that solves the D-Wave problem on a normal, off-the-shelf classical computer, about 15 times faster than the D-Wave machine itself solves the D-Wave problem! Of course, if you wanted even more classical speedup than that, then you could simply add more processors to your classical computer, for only a tiny fraction of the ~$10 million that a D-Wave One would set you back.
Wikipedia quotes penned by a competing manufacturer (IBM). lol Quotes from the same competitor (IBM). lol A quote from Scott Aaronson (uh, who the hell is this guy? lemme guess...works for IBM). He points to a simulation running on a classical machine optimized to exploit quirks in the "d-wave problem" to gain an advantage and says "look d-wave's slower", ridiculous. lol Superconducting hardware walks the walk and theory-crafting talks the talk. Keep on talking IBM... and hurry up with that Bitcoin wallet, it's going to be a full implementation of the bitcoin protocol right? |

Because the quantum computer has not yet been invented. Give it a few more decades.
We've got a quantum computer store here called D-Wave. They've got quantum computers in stock and for sale. http://arxiv.org/pdf/1403.4228v1.pdf |

The blockchain is a record of who owns how many Bitcoins. The Bitcoins have no physical properties, they don't change over time and they don't occupy any space.
I suggest that Bitcoins are intellectual property based on the fact that it's an intangible asset. The encryption enforces the copyright.

Remember what Khan did to the crew of the Enterprise in Star Trek 2? Could such a scenario be possible with the Foundation?
