Tough choices
I would say Gavin as usual core developer for the protocol
Turr Demester for his interesting speeches
And perhaps Andreas Antopoulos although there are quite a few candiates from that Bitcoin Senate Series to choose from
Could mention Slush etc.
Mr Demester has some interesting speeches but in some of those he says BS like this one:  That is a plain lie (read the ecb report by yourself here: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/other/virtualcurrencyschemes201210en.pdf) |

This project has saved me a bunch of time, and we seem to both have the same goal.
Not a lot of btc, but I sent you a tip. Thanks.
I saw it and appreciate it. Thx |

Russians and Argentinians.
Argentinians? LOL of course we are not! If after 40% of inflation this year our subforum is dead. this is really incredidible!!! 100 gain in January and I can buy for 100 .. in December and I can gain 100 comprareper 60 but how about salaries??? i don't think salaries increase 40%/year! No, it depends on several things but the short answer is NO salaries don't increase 40%/year. In fact, if you are a lucky employee and get a 30% you have another problem because given you salary is higher than before you have to pay more taxes. So, you are poorer and poorer but the goverment treats you as if you are richer every year. This is not because the gov only, big merchants and companies are guilty too. Oh! we have a 40% inflation because the Argentinian peso is backed in US dollar so, with $100 pesos in January you can buy U$ 10 then, in December with $100 you can buy U$ 6. However US dollar also looses value between January and December  That is the awesomeness of having an inflationary currency backed by another inflationary currency. |

I imagine based on the teachings of Jesus you are going to burn in hell
What a wonderful god you believe in! One that will torture people for eternity just for using their intelligence to learn what the world really is. I am not affiliated with any "ism's" or religions but continue to be astounded at the hypocrisy of the nations that are religion based just quoting their own text back to the Christians a true religion or any ism should be based on logical philosophical discussion I find it hard to believe in a religion let alone a specific religion where one guy says lets cut the top of his dick off and people think this is ok e.g. Logic if i cut myself i endanger my health with blood borne pathogens, in a time where a simple cut could be life or death they decide to cut the top of your dick off, no logic LoL this is really awesome! One cannot say that something is against christian values because the atheists start trolling. But ok, let use the logic then, what do your logic says you? Is it ok to catch the old man? |

I also.
It seems that in USA is completely different mentality and culture than in Europe.
In Europe we have public kitchen for homeless and many civil organizations helping them (including individuals).
I'm happy that I live in Europe.
All countries have public kitchens in this days, not only european countries, and given we don't find a better solution, it is the best that people can do. That is the reason why I think nobody should go jail for helping others, because that is against our values and it is also against the american values and christian values. By sure it is against the universal human beings values. |

Yes, I made a mistake when I said WPF instead of WCF however I am right when I say WCF is not a real option. You can share with me a lot of links to msdn and that won't change my opinion. Have you ever seen a p2p app developed with wcf? No real software uses wcf, they use sockets instead. True, I havent seen any p2p wcf in the wild. Can you put a sample block in github? I have an abandoned project that is not the best example https://github.com/lontivero/peer2net (I have to redo it some day) |

Cops are the topic I see on every other thread in this section. I think that says something itself.
The only question here is, cops do their job, so what is wrong with what they did? I can't believe law is overtaking people's common sense nowadays/
I cannot believe an state has a law that forbid a person to help others. |

Hi,
there is something that I don't understand very well and I hope you could help me. Just imagine there are 2 nodes (node A and node B), each maintains a list of unverified transactions
* Node A has tx1, tx2 and tx3
* Node B has tx1, tx3 and tx4
Then they both decide to include them all in a new block and start mining. Node A finds the hash first so, it includes its block in the blockchain and publishes it. That is what I understood however I don't know how Node B should behave because it has 2 transactions in common with A.
Exactly the same way as it should if it has 0 transactions in common with A (or all of its transactions in common with A). The number of transactions in common doesn't matter. - Should Node B to stop mining its block?
Yes. Always. As soon as you receive a completed block, you should stop mining the block you were working on, and should begin mining a new block. And my last question (at least for a couple of days) is:
- How do nodes decide how many transactions to include in a block?
It is up to the solo miner (or mining pool) to choose which transactions they want to include. Most polls (and solo miners) run software that makes those decisions based on some pre-set conditions configured in the software. Thank you, @DannyHamilton. |

I think that people who don't use bank systems earlier like afrika.
In Africa, those who does not use bank are mostly illiterate people. Unless u can educate them, they wont be able to use bitcoin. Can't believe someone saying this. Anyways, I think the best sort of adoption seen in the last few days is the tipping system using Changetip. Looks like a perfect way to tip with any denomination. Unbanked people are not only in africa, they are all around the world. |

Hi,
I was thinking for a while about who will be the next people to adopt Bitcoin after techies. IMO they should be the financial services guys or black market's types. What do you think?
The next adopters who already might be doing it are terrorists and hackers, who would request ransom to be paid in bitcoins. I could see it happening soon. Bitcoin would be perfect for them. I just hope it doesn't happen though. If that happens then the goverment will has to put some limitations and rules for bitcoin. But I don't think so that they can. They will definitely be putting a bad name to the currency. Ransom requests have been paid in fiat money always and nobody complains about it, however you're right on this because the ww media could repeat the same news again and again and again for 3 or 4 years as they did with SR. |

company accept bitcoins that is not true, they actually turn bitcoins into local fiat.
I think that the natural first step. Once they can pay theirs providers with bitcoins things will change. |

I imagine workers sending money to theirs families in other countries (mexicans and cubans in USA for example) but I am not sure about africa |
