transfers are faster
As far as I know, this is a misconception of how blockchain works. Correct me if I'm wrong.

edit: Litecoin block-rate is 2.5 minutes on average. My point is: Try to make successfull double-spend on Bitcoin network after 2.5 minutes. (excl. "dust" outputs)

At first I wanted to mention Aaron Swartz as counter argument, but realized that MPOE-PR is right. Mostly shithole noncountries like Iran, USA or China are affected Smiley
edit: to be a little positive +1 for Inaba's reaction.

There is no such thing as fraudulent transaction on bitcoin network, and there is no such thing as balance on the bitcoin network.
Read this post explaining the transaction confirmation process.

DannyHamilton, please post yout BTC address, Your post deserves some donations.
Also, Can I use your post explaining the mining, translate it and publish it? I myself know how mining works, but your explanation is best I've ever seen.

I don't always agree with Goat, but this:

Quit BTC cuz paypal rips you off?

Selling BTC on e-bay is against every recommendation on the forum, and against e-bay policies itself. OP doesn't make any sense.

He is probably not asking about an exchange account, but about Bitcoin wallet itself. It's hard for some newbs to realize there is no supervisor deciding what you can use your wallet for.

The answer is - if you find someone who is willing to send you thousands of BTC to you wallet, he will be able to do so. And you will be able to spend them without any problems. There are no restrictions for that.
But remember to create secure wallet for that. For 5000 BTC I would consider using an offline paper wallet. If you really want to buy that much BTCs, even a dedicated laptop/smartphone is a good idea

So you want US to fund YOUR bitcoin exchange? That's not going to happen.
If you start a project to create an free and open-source easily usable exchange system, and build an exchange based on it... That's more likely! Smiley

This does not make any sense.
Faster (lower difficulty) blocks = less secure blocks.

I've read similar discussions many times, and still don't understand why would Mars need it's own blockchain. Imagine yourself as a part of colony on foreign planet with very limited resources. Isn't it easier to use light client like electrum communicating with random node running on earth? Transactions could still be localy broadcasted to the mars-net so the nodes on Mars could see the transaction even before it's in the blockahin on Earth.

You can argue that with limited resources there is no need for high hashrate to protect the network up there, but if the connection with earth is possible, someone with ASIC farm on Earth could attempt to 51% the mars blockchain.

Put your bitcoin address (the one from your phone) to search bar on blockchain.info to see if the transaction ever happened. If it's not there, contact the Mt.Gox. If it's there, there is something wrong with your phone wallet. In this case you probably need to make a backup of private keys and play around a bit. Try to redownload the blockchain or reinstall the app & import the keys from backup.

I'm afraid that he's becoming the next Richard Stallman-like extremist. I wanted to talk to him about this in January at UNsystem Bitcoin Conference Preview, but he seemed to be busy. And I have learnt before that it's not a good idea to argue with orgs while the event is still ongoing Smiley
