8801  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Australian Govt. form asks if I own any Bitcoin of Cryptocurrency on: September 26, 2014, 07:46:00 AM
While we -or many of us- know that technically noone "owns" bitcoin, we all understand what they want to know. You want money from your peers* and in turn they ask how much money do you own or control or can move or can use to get goods. Smartassing your way out of this makes you antisocial. No matter how smug you feel about it, its still money your family and friends pay taxes for. I dont know how much bitcoin you "have" but unless you have a significant amount it should not make a difference. And if you hold a significant amount you should not get money from your government.


* keep in mind that the money from your gov comes from those paying tax
8802  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The protocol of bitcoin can be limitlessly replicated on: September 26, 2014, 06:13:52 AM
1) bitcoin CAN be created in unlimited amounts, in the form of alternate crypto currencies, because the alternates serve the exact (if not better) functions/purposes that bitcoin does.  Sure there won't be more than 21 million "bitcoins" in the universe, but there can (and will if bitcoin is mass adopted) be infinite amounts of cryptos just like bitcoin.  It is only a matter of time.  In this sense, bitcoin is no different from tulip bulbs, granite rocks, etc.

Any clone is a clone and no longer bitcoin, thus the number of bitcoin is limited. There might be other successfull cryptos. Bitcoin is different from tulpis in that tulpis have a possible unlimited supply as well as a limited lifetime. I dont even understand the comparison other than that you are trying to hint at the first known instance of a price crash.

2) gold cannot be re created.  There is only a set amount of gold in the universe (unless you create it at the atomic level which will cost much more than the gold created).

Gold can be created, it fact there are facilities that actually do that right now. Also if we assume an infinity universe (not a loopback infinity one, but proper endless as natural numbers) there is an infinity supply of gold, the question is only how expensive it is to get. Wasnt there is planet which is just a big diamond? Maybe our universe is not infinity but for our small minds it might just as well be. Bitcoin is very different as the hard coded rules dictate that there will be 20999999.9769 BTC unless there is a fork, which will result in an alt coin unless the majority of bitcoin users decide to follow the fork.

3) in this sense, bitcoin ultimately is not inflation free and is not unlimited.  People will start to adopt bitcoin, and ultimately crypto currencies in general.  New and better crypto currencies will inevitably develop and hence inflation happens in due time.  And price starts to free fall.

In this sense, you confuse cryptocurrencies as a whole with bitcoin, a very specific cryptocurrencies with very specific rules.

-snip-
I could tomorow create a new "coin" with same functions/protocols as bitcoin.

No you cant. Bitcoin is more than just the code you would copy. Your copycoin would never reach the adoption rate of bitcoin, thats what makes 1 bitcoin so expensive and all those other "new" and "better" coins so worthless. I can spend bitcoin in so many ways, but your copycoin? Nope, not accepted here.

Do I understand you correctly:
You have lost your seed because you deleted all your data on your machine and had no backup?

If the answer is yes, sorry for your loss - how much was it?

Its sound like you are trying to ban account selling not improving the trust system.

I don't know why you guys keep pointing to that thread. theymos is clearly not doing that.

I never had to try it, so I dont know, but from all I read it works as long as you do it right. From what I read most are just unable to provide a signature with an address and a reliable source within the board for that address (e.g. a PM to DefaultTrust or a post in an auction thread)

Can't load this useless shit, it just says verifying blocks??

On both my computers

Your chances for support are very slim here. Make a thread in tech support and provide more information.

Open a ticket on PD / contact Stunna [1] or MICRO [2]. There is not much we can do.
Stunna tends to not react to PMs, so resending them every 2 days should help.

Just report it and see if it moves or not (might take some time depending who is online etc.)

PS: I think it should be in games and rounds

Ist das normal?
Jein

Kann ich irgendwie die Transaktionsgebühr einstellen, damit es schneller geht? Oder brauche ich den normalen Client dazu?

Solange Du 0.0001 BTC/KByte zahlst ist alles gut und Deine TX ist im nächsten Block. Mehr zu zahlen bringt nichts. Das was "lange" dauert ist den Block zu finden und das lässt sich durch doppelte oder dreizehnfache Gebühr nicht beschleunigen. Das benötigt im Schnitt 10 Minuten, aber eben nur im Schnitt. Es passiert auch mal das eine Stunde lange kein Block gefunden wird. Dann brauchen die Überweisungen halt ne Stunde bis sie erste Bestätigung haben. Dafür gibt es auch manchmal innerhalb von Sekunden einen neuen Block.
8814  Other / Meta / Re: There should be a public list of sold/bought accounts on: September 23, 2014, 08:37:57 PM

What I wanted to convey was: people will fear making a buy request via PM due to the possibility that the message receiver would report the PM to staff and the person making the offer would get banned. (Unless the receiver is also willing to make the deal, so there's 50-50 risk factor for the person making the offer)

Its not a 50-50 risk because Im not going to flip a coin just because you (or someone else) writes me a PM about buying my account (I wont, any PM will be reported!). Just because there are two possible outcomes does not mean they are equaly likely. What hilariousandco is trying to tell you: people should allready be afraid of sending unsolicited PMs, because if they bother to many people -> ban.

In the US counterfeit money circulates throughout the economy without anybody noticing but if you happen to acquire a counterfeit bill and spend it, you could be prosecuted even if you didn’t realize it was counterfeit. How is bitcoin immune to this? Also in the US if you have possession of stolen money but you didn’t commit the crime, then the money can still be seized.


While I do not doubt that sometime in the future police will try this. This is utter nonsense. There are no bitcoin to seize. A TX has inputs and outputs. You never have any bitcoin in your possession, just the private keys that allow you to spend your unspend outputs. Each TX in a sense is like melting one or more block(s) of metal (inputs) and creating a new one (or several).
8816  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BTC Transaction time on: September 23, 2014, 08:28:17 PM
It takes ages unless you spend more than the default set miner fee. I think about 25 minutes at default fee.

I don't think that is true.
From my own experience, about 95% of my transactions with standard fee (0.0001/KB) are included in the next block and all the rest are included within the next 3 blocks.

Yes it makes no sense to pay above standard fee. AtheistAKASaneBrain probably has no clue that block times might vary.
8817  Other / Meta / Re: Just found out I was banned, so was a bunch of other people in my dorm on: September 23, 2014, 08:24:55 PM
BadBear is currently cleaning house on account farmers. Since you and your buddy probably have the same IP and your buddies posts are almost all low quality one liners... well you can draw the conclusion yourself.

Send him a PM or wait for a reaction here.

Edit: also if "off-topic" has the most posts... stinks. Basically your buddy is behaving like someone farming for an higher lvl to join a sig campaign.

Another one with a Mac crashing. Post your debug.log from around the crash time please. Your version is 0.9.2.1?

Older versions are still online here: https://bitcoin.org/bin/ if you need.

8820  Other / Meta / Re: Bitcointalk Blocked Chinese IP? on: September 23, 2014, 05:29:16 PM
The acronym is now a name thus Tor instead of TOR. Anyway, the Tor browser is just a special version of FF. If you dl the browser bundle you actuall start the proxy which in turn launches the browser. So just dl that and point qt to the proxy.
