I'd like to see some mathematical arguments against Bitcoin but so far all I've seen is hypothetical bullshit and problems that are easily fixed with common sense.

A bit of a random post I know but I was just poking around and thought I'd try out Bitcoin armory because I wanted to find some relatively easy Bitcoin storing solutions and of course the moment I decided to take an interest the main site seems to be down  any word on when it will come back up? Is the project dead or are they just updating everything? etc. etc. |

That's the thing though, you guys are getting trolled, by those damn neo-keynesians  |

I just thought I'd say this is a great idea for getting ads on your site without annoying the fuck out of people, keep it up, the only suggestions I could make about it is making the interface more user friendly and easier to understand, perhaps some tutorials are in order.

I'm sorry, but every time I see some moron ranting about Bitcoin and completely disregarding basic Math in their arguments I just smile, these people are no threat and they never will be.

Grats  I'm looking forward to when that happens to me, it's nice being able to save again. |

What people who attack Bitcoin for these kind of problems fail to understand as well though is it's open source anyone can make digital currencies now, we already have competing currencies like Litecoin coming into the fray, like it or not digital currencies are probably going to be around for a long while especially if they can be tinkered with and released at will.

Isn't that the exact opposite of where you would want to take music? But I suppose, in our economy, if you can make money from it, there's no incentive not to. Tongue I mean, it's great that musicians are making money from music. The problem is, they can only make one kind of music, using the same batch of chords, in the same general time frame (2 minutes to 5 minutes, max 7 minutes), can't be too complex, probably needs some lyrics so people can sing along. Otherwise, you won't be making much, and you damn well won't get any exposure, even when you're the next Mozart or Lennon. Two Steps From Hell go against all of this, they're clearly making quite a bit of money from their music otherwise they wouldn't be appearing in big budget trailers etc. they even did music for the Mass Effect 3 trailer which was how I found out about them, it's like with anything to do with digital stuff now, if you make something good, people are going to buy it regardless of filesharing, if people aren't buying it, chances are it's not because of filesharing by itself, it's probably because they tried it and it was shit. If anyone from these now fairly digital based industries like music, games and movies are reading this, take some fucking pride in your work because with games in particular I can't even be bothered downloading the stupid AAA titles that get churned out every year because they're so poorly coded even by games industry standards. |

Am I right in saying that the network updates itself if the coins disappear anyway? I'm not sure if you could destroy them.

off topic categories would be a great idea actually.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0Bear in mind, the idea behind Bitcoin is that you can trade anonymously and the market is decentralised with no authority behind it, if you decide to go with Bitcoin long term you have to accept that there are bad things as well as awesome things that go with these ideas.

lol yep, that's about right |

I do think your nuts in thinking that Bitcoin is 'vulnerable' because of scammers etc. it isn't vulnerable, the problem you're pointing out has nothing to do with Bitcoin but human stupidity and there's nothing we can do to prevent people from being stupid. Controlling your own finances like you can now means you not only have to trust in your common sense, not only that you have to accept the fact that if you fuck up then it's your fault and yours alone, Bitcoin isn't responsible, it's you, all Bitcoin really is is just a bunch of very clever numbers put together to make a currency.
There is already a scammer accusation board for you to check out to see if you can trust a person your dealing with, but other than that, warning people is all anyone can do now, it's not necessarily bad to be paranoid, just make sure it's about the right thing.

As we find out what we can do with material like Graphene space flight is sounding more and more like a good idea so I don't see why it couldn't be done, the task itself isn't that hard but you have to consider all the logistical and political problems that would come with it, so how do we get the Bitcoins etc. sent back and who gets them and so on. Then there's the question of what governments will do about it in retaliation because you can bet some of them will find some excuse to mess with it all.
I suspect all of this may cost more than $8000 because you'll have to do repairs and things like that every now and then too.

I've yet to find a solution to this problem, it isn't the solo mining by itself, it's something to do with the client etc. the problem is because people on this board don't see solo mining as profitable they aren't particularly helpful in giving any real answers about it so they just tend to rant about it instead so prepare yourself for them to spam this thread and not give you an answer lol I'm sure if you stick around enough though someone will eventually respond. |

Your assumption is pretty much correct about the USD I suspect even though the exchanges will be willing you'll probably have trouble moving around that much cash, if you have that much money to invest why not make a business that accepts Bitcoin? Or invest in business that use Bitcoin in payments for that matter. It doesn't even need to be anything particularly grand but this I think is what people will start doing now because mining just isn't going to cut it any more and you're frying perfectly good hardware doing it. We really need a good decentralised stock exchange |
