If you want to know how difficult it is, try imagening this:

There are 1 million people and your task is convincing over 0.5 million of them to take 90% of their dollars and throw them into a big fire.
That's how difficult it is to make this change.
(the dollars in this scenario must still be considered as valuable ;p)
Wrong, you don't have to convince the 51%!

The new coin would be like Litecoin: it would work without "51%" of something.

it's 50%+1 hard.  (it's majorly hard)
WRONG

And where is the problem exactly?

The blockchain is 9GB or so big so of course it will take 9GB  Cheesy

There is a problem if it is using 40GB  Cheesy

The bitcoin qt really takes a lot of memories every time when it's running. It normally takes like 3 minutes to open up!

Is there any suggestion on lighter, easier-to-use wallet?

People are saying that on-line wallet is not safe. Any suggestion on that?
It takes 3 minutes because it check the last blocks before starting  Wink

Use Multibit or Electrum, no need to have the whole blockchain.

Pure online wallet of course aren't safe, the owner can steal your bitcoin. But a online wallet like blockchain.info one is safe because they don't have access to your keys. Just make sure you make backups!

and whenever i run it, it takes up all the cpu. is this normal or happening to anyone else?
It is verifying the blocks it download, of course it use the cpu. Is it a problem that your computer is actually used? Because that is why computers exist: to be used.

I am not a very active guy but on yesterday I went to the gym and every other part of my body is fine APART from my thighs! they still kill, i cant bend over without them hurting?

After exercising a lot, a certain acid develops near your muscles.

That acid being lactic acid.
Thanks for naming it. I know how it's called in my native language but not in english.
You are wrong, lactic acid is not what cause that.


greyhawk is right

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness

Quote
An earlier theory posited that DOMS is connected to the build-up of lactic acid in the blood, which was thought to continue being produced following exercise. This build-up of lactic acid was thought to be a toxic metabolic waste product that caused the perception of pain at a delayed stage. This theory has been largely rejected, as concentric contractions which also produce lactic acid have been unable to cause DOMS.[12] Additionally, lactic acid is known from multiple studies to return to normal levels within one hour of exercise, and therefore can't cause the pain that occurs much later.[13]

Yup, it is exactly why bitcoin exist: so governments and banks no more can print tons of money out of nowhere  Wink

There you go, the famous 10.000 BTC pizza: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.0
That dot is not a comma, which would represent thousands. That is 10,000(thousand) Bitcoins.

Just ask Bitpay and problem solved.

"bitcoin providers"? Bitcoin isn't internet!

You follow the law in USA? The California invent an absurd cease and desist letter. It is clear that there aren't rules for using bitcoin, now it is just a war.

Stop eating trash food, start eating health food, do not eat TONS of food and start do something. Problem solved without alien "diets" or whatelse

Yes you have to eat less. No, having a breakfast with eggs and bacon and butter is not ok.

Why do you want to register through tor? Do you really have something important to hide?
In some countries it may be illegal to speak of bitcoin so some people have to rely on tor to protect their freedom of expression  Wink
Oh. Never thought of that. Could you tell me such country as an example?
There are dozens of countries where dictatorships prohibit freedom of expression. Syria, Iran, North Korea etcetc. If something isn't ok for the dictator then you are in trouble there
