Why do you want to send without fees?

Fees are so tiny and it allows before a better community!!!

At christmas time its called being a scrooge!

There is a spectrum of people with different levels of generosity. I believe good things happen to those who are generous so I tend to spend, tip, etc etc.
My mum works in a bank and she told me there are people who cash in cheques with cents on them.
For some people, a cent is a cent, for others it is noise. 

Some of these cent is a cent is a cent people end up being quite wealthy but they don't tend to enjoy they wealth (they enjoy counting it though).

X'mas is over. Now on to boxing day!

Physically I'm not alone today, but mentally I can say that's I'm lonely
Why is that?


You're lucky that you actually miss family that much you'd want to spend Christmas with them sad to admit but if I could spend Christmas on my own in my own house without being bothered by people I'd be giddy that said though I do genuinely feel that way.

Ha, I know what you mean. When I rented with other people I looked forward to having the whole house to myself. Now that I do I am missing the company.

I remember the day my crypto holding surpasses my fiat holding in value. That day I felt numb.

A month ago at the height of the boom, when the network was very busy, I did a small experiment on fees to gauge the linearity of its effect on confirmation time.

BTC0 fee: took 2 days to confirm.
BTC0.00000100 (100 satoshi) fee: no difference, took 2 days.
BTC0.0001 fee: confirmed on next block
BTC0.0005 fee: confirmed on next block


My conclusion is that BTC0.0001 fee currently is enough to let your transaction be included in the new block or two. More than BTC0.0001 would almost guarantee it's place in the next block.
Fee amounts less than BTC0.0001 might as well be 0.

Go to a nice english pub and  order some fish and chips with some nice beer and watch a footy match!

Dont worry mate i had many xmases where i was alone and i didnt even care, thats why i have the internet.

If internet was down though i would go mad.

Thank you mate! Yes I am keeping myself sane with the internet. The bitcoin pub here will be opening for 3 hours on Christmas day, so may be it would be a good idea to go there.

I am kind of hoping there are people around the area who would be up for doing something together.

I overheard a person in Maplin on Saturday asking for a graphics card for mining bitcoin, so there must be cryptocoiners around.

To that person: I was standing behind you. Let me know if you want any help setting things up.

Sadly I am. Usually I would be with my family back home on the other side of the world. Due to circumstance I am spending Christmas and New year here in Cambridge, UK.

Anyone else?

God can make the 21000001st bitcoin spendable. 

If you only had 5 bitcoins and 2 litecoins, you can pay 5000 people some bitcoins and some litecoins each. You can't buy much fish for 2 litecoins (yet), but imagine, 5 bitcoins worth of bread, that's a lot of bread.

Taking $700 as the price of a bitcoin, 5 bitcoins can get you $3500 worth of bread. At $2 a loaf, that's 1750 loaves. If each loaf has 20 slices, every person will get 7 slices of bread, enough for a meal.

94  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Use another bitcoin address as your password on: December 24, 2013, 08:15:37 PM
This is a good idea. Simply use an address as your password, they are random and secure. Plus you can keep it in a list or address book and no one would think it's a password.
my recommendation is USE A PASSWORD that you ALREADY USE ON THINGS
cause if u forget it, it's so long money
Block chain as password dictionary. Good idea.

There are funny people around here, I see.

Welcome to Bitcointalk. Enjoy your stay  Cheesy.

Just in case it wasn't clear, I was being sarcastic. Please do not use the blockchain as your password notebook.
95  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: In your mind what is a "good" amount of Bitcoin for a newb to hold and be proud? on: December 24, 2013, 02:37:17 PM
1BTC

In a few years people will be amazed to know somebody with 1BTC

oh proudhon how you have *changed* since your speculation days....

Bitcoin is a fad and it's on fire.....  Grin

Successfully achieving stable containment of BTC0.01

I add further that holding a spendable amount is a good milestone. (Standalone amount of less than BTC0.0001 is currently unspendable)

<Facepalm>

Seriously. Don't do this.



We need a facepalm emoticon.

Because it makes it easier to pull off a 51% attack?

Block chain as password dictionary. Good idea.
100  Economy / Speculation / Re: More retailers accepting Bitcoin could cause the price to drop...... on: December 23, 2013, 10:42:32 PM
For now we are in a phase where more and more merchants accept bitcoin. At this stage most of them convert it straight back to fiat.
So at this stage it is important that we instantly replenish the BTC we spend with these shops.
At this stage it is about pushing for bitcoin acceptance.
Once we have reached a critical mass, merchants can start offering bitcoins to their suppliers and staff.
At some point suppliers can offer to pay for raw material in bitcoins.
The bitcoin cycle would be complete.

One big barrier to businesses accepting bitcoin is the fear of being cut off from the banking system.
Well, from the banks' point of view, the more BTC business customers they sever ties with, the more worried they get. One day there will be no business customers left to cut.
