If someone loses their private keys, that just makes the rest of the coins more scarce and valuable, that's one of the perks of Bitcoin!
We have enough units to denominate and function no matter how many are lost.
It would be so hard to get people on-board with Bitcoin if they expired. Hey here's a Bitcoin, be sure to spend it before it expires! I don't see any benefit of coin recycling at all. It's a ridiculous subject, but I suppose that is what forums are for, voicing opinions and shooting ideas back and forth.
I was sitting there trying to figure out why on earth would theymos propose such a thing. And then it hit me. I read the OP. He was pointing towards putting a contract in the 'satoshi client' that would show people, like, the rules of Bitcoin, and a contract set in stone. I think it's a great idea. right now the client basically tells you that this is experimental software, have fun! We should have a document in the window there, I don't think a blob of text is going to take up much disk space (considering the ballooning blockchain size) and it will give newbies something to read.
Right now the two options under 'help' are 'about Bitcoin-QT' and 'about QT' which don't provide a lot of information. Now, we can't really have a whole wiki in there, but a contract stating the cold hard facts about the network and what will never change, I think that should be in there. The contract wouldn't really be enforceable though, since who would enforce it? There isn't even really a need for a contract, but if it was a contact to prevent other parties (like the bitcoin foundation) from submitting any huge changes to the protocol and messing the whole network up, that would be great as well.
Some sort of blob of text protecting us is never a bad thing.

I don't understand why this keeps coming up, the issue of destroying or recycling old coins that is. But if it even seems like this is going to happen. I will stop using Bitcoin. And I suspect that I am not the only one in this category.
I have bitcoins stored in such a way that their private key has never been on a harddrive and they are stored in a way that was designed to be passed down from one generation to another. Destroying coins is destroying these.
I have a sort of "retirement" cold storage key (also, not ever having been on a harddrive, but stored in another way). Destroying coins on a timescale of anything less than a lifetime makes it more difficult and less secure to handle these coins.
Please don't destroy old coins. Please don't recycle old coins.
Please stop bringing up the topic.

I changed the bonus to 0.0777 BTC since 0.1337 BTC to multiple people per day was more BTC than I am mining with my farm lmao. Plus BTC's were $5 back then and now they are creeping up on $15 so I think this is fair, it's still about a buck to sign up.

i use your service too mclovin dont be mad
I'm not mad  I just think it's a ridiculous notion that someone could get a profit from the method you provide. I give people people more BTC for signing up than I get in months of having those banners up. In fact I have yet to make as much as I give out to anyone. *sigh* |

Answering the emails would make Operation Fabulous a little bit more fabulous for sure. If you have any issue with Operation Fabulous please PM me or Edd or email me at operationfabulous@bitcointrading.com, I wasn't aware that there were any emails going anywhere? I wish I had emails sent to me from the site, I am trying to revolutionize the site but I keep running into walls, and I keep hiring people to give the site a make-over but it never works out. Hopefully early 2013 OpFab 2.0 will be released, until then, at least the site works. |

w00t! can I have some 5850s, too? and if possible my 3x 5870s, can they all be reference cards? if so i'll take the noisy fan one. like i'll take the 3 cards on the right. the 5850s, are they reference? & thanks dude! Ok, sure. You may have the 3 on the right. I have up to 5 5850s available. They are all different manufacturers (Gigabyte, Sapphire, HI, XFX). Edit: Actually, I think the Sapphire 5850 is a reference card with a sapphire heat sink... at least it has AMD symbol on the PCB. So you have.. 5 reference 5850 cards, one with a non-standard heat sink? If so could I get the 4 that do? |

Isn't Blackberry, like, bankrupt? Starting their own currency now? Hm. I don't know if I would see it as a competitor directly.. I see more of a platform to exchange Bitcoins with perhaps. |

I stopped mining.
Its pretty clear that unless you have really good GPU there is no point to mine.
Unless you're mining litecoin. |
