Apart from the high fee, this sounds like a good thing. The more ATM's the better.Competition should bring the fee's down in time.

Bittylicious or Localbitcoins .
Rule number 1= BEWARE of people on this site if your trying to buy BTC .

I don't see why not. Assuming that everything you ever wanted to buy can be bought with paypal.

Bitcoin need's to be ADVERTISED so people hear about it.
I see this as a good thing.

What's the big deal?
My Debit card can do that already. It's called "contactless payments" or something like that.

I've never had any problems at 999Dice.Been using it for about 6 months now.
And the withdrawal has always been instant for me.

Post a Bitcoin bounty on the hacker. It worked for Roger Ver.

I moved 1 BTC from my online wallet to a paper wallet to hold long term but that graph would have added me to the spent immediately section.  |

I think that Bitcoin will be a World Currency that people will accept,in the future.
So i'm basically gambling that it will increase in price.

A debit card of some kind that is accepted all over the world would be great.Maybe i'll live long enough to see it.  |

Blockchain.info is easy for the newbie to use. I'm a newbie and that's what I use. The support is good too if you fuck something up,like I did.  (thank you Mandrik) |

I've got a question but I don't know if it's relevant to Bitcoin or not. Maybe someone knows. I came across an article about "illegal prime numbers" and I ended up at this wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_prime and I was wondering if any of the Bitcoin code could be written as "executable prime numbers". |

This has been a great year for BTC. imo.
If the price had stayed at around $1000 then I wouldn't have bought any.

Of the world's over 7 billion people, how many can today afford or even practically buy bitcoins? Not many percentage wise. And someone said that 70% of the U.S. population today don't even know what bitcoin is.
So how is that fair? It isn't. Because the opportunity to buy early is very lopsidedly distributed in society.
What's wrong with that? Neither can everyone have a Porsche. But everyone is free to buy it, they just need to give goods or services in exchange. The only difference is that Porsche is a consumption asset. If a majority of the people have to do without Porsches, it would be considered acceptable. In the scenario that Bitcoin becomes the de-facto currency of the world, excluding a large part of the world from holding bitcoins (because they are priced out) may be considered unfair. What's "fair" got to do with it? Where does Satoshi say that Bitcoin is supposed to be fair and distributed evenly to everyone on the planet? I can't seem to find that when I read the white paper. Also, If Bitcoin becomes the de-facto currency of the world then surely everyone will be paid in Bitcoins. Then everyone will have Bitcoins. Problem solved.  |

That was very positive for the BBC. I don't think I heard Satoshi Nakamoto mentioned either. I'll need to watch it again later to see. |

Wow. That's an advert for encryption and the TOR network.
Bitcoin got about 10 mins. 5 mins positive and the other 5 mins was the obligatory SilkRoad,D.P.R,Drugs,Anonymous,bad,bad,bad soundbite's.
For the BBC that was very unbiased.

So my question is: Why are Altcoins unsecure?
No need for malice or incompetence, simple technical reasons are quite sufficient: - not enough hashrate to defend the Proof of Work (obvious), and/or not enough mining pools
- not enough staking wallets or funds staking to secure Proof of Stake (less obvious, but just as real)
- too many funds in one or two exchanges (security is then only as good as that of the exchange...)
- difficulty retargets happening too fast that can allow forks to thrive
- few people monitoring the blockchains/network (while bitcoin's is monitored 24/7 by many individuals)
The last point is probably key: if something (anything) goes wrong with the bitcoin blockchain, you can be sure it will be noticed quickly, and broadcast widely, exchanges can suspend trading, code can be fixed, etc. yes, it will be a PITA, but it also makes bitcoin very very resilient because it does not just depend on algorithms. The top altcoins are looked after, but for all too many altcoins, you'll be lucky if there is even a working blockchain explorer... many noteworthy altcoins even went for days or weeks without working explorers, this basically means that nobody monitored them, and they were running on hash and prayer. Definitely agree with the last point too. I've got some Primecoins (XPM) and the dev. seems to have abandoned it and the forum is like a ghost town. I should have bought BTC with the money instead. Lol,Hindsight is a wonderful thing indeed. |

Thank you bot or whale. Just bought 1 BTC at $480 . I hope the price drops a wee bit more.  |

I'm a bit confused here. Why has BPB got -neg trust rating?Has he ripped anybody off before? Or are people just assuming he's a thief? I can't find any direct accusations made about him,so i'm wondering WHY the -neg trust rating. Is it just a case of "haters gonna hate"?Or am I missing something? I've just heard about him tonight and reading about him put a smile on my face. |
