Me llamo Nicolas y soy el Coordinador del departamento informatico de Piratasdemadrid.org (partido pirata de madrid) asi como soy quien hospeda varias paginas del partido pirata de españa.
He comentado en la lista de correo de piratas de madrid, esta charla, ya que creo que va a interesar a alguna persona a parte de a mi... Yo la verdad soy nuevo y poco puedo aportar y ni tengo wallet aun en el movil pero seguro que salgo de esa charla con el wallet instalado. A parte me interesa intercambiar opiniones con vosotros.
Un saludo
Pues allí nos vemos Nicolas. Estoy seguro de que te va a interesar mucho. En cuanto al monedero en el móvil, te los instalas en 1 minuto si tienes un iPhone o Android. Este no está nada mal: https://blockchain.info/es/wallet/ |

¿Did anybody see this last night?  Large and fast correction, with plenty of volume. Some big seller appeared. Followed by a pretty sharp bounce, also on large volume. |

Lo gracioso es que esto ya está ocurriendo, pero en vez de la calle Alcalá de Madrid, en la Carrera de San Jerónimo, la calle paralela...  |

se me olvidaba, me sumo con 1BTC
...y añado el BTC de Jaime |

La verdad, yo le pondría límite incluso antes. El 1 de Marzo. Realmente desde que hay mucha más gente en https://localbitcoins.com/ creo que es mucho menos importante esto. Para mi ha perdido la urgencia. Por supuesto cada uno es libre de hacer lo que quiera con sus propios Bitcoins. |

Bitcoin is a consensus-based system NOT a democracy. If you acquire 51% hashing power, that gives you a lot of power, but contrary to what some people seem to think, it doesn't give you unlimited power. If you attempt to "change the fundamental rules," you won't end up with 51% control of Bitcoin. You'll end up with 100% control of FedPal. In that scenario, I'll stick with Bitcoin.
Exactly. The blockchain is a hydra. Cut off one head and see others replace it. |

The fact that US government could crush bitcoin in no time and the fact that they did not do it despite the fact that it clearly made it onto just about every agency's agenda is proof enough for me that Bitcoin already has the blessing of the US government.
(If you doubt that Bitcoin can still be destroyed, please put into relation the $250,000 economy to the $50,000,000,000 printed every month and what a tiny fraction it would take to pay 1000 smart guys to hack every garage shop bitcoin business, buy 20PH/s ASICS, launch child porn portals operating with bitcoin, etc. The window to shut Bitcoin down will not close until the Bitcoin market value is some orders of magnitude higher.)
Right now that Bitcoin is a relative unkown, with < 1 Mn users, an attack would probably help (with publicity) more than hurt. Once Bitcoin reaches critical mass (1-5 million users and 2Bn mkt cap) the defense mechanisms (legal, network size and redundancy, number of exchanges and worldwide presence, etc, etc) will be very strong and the only viable way to successfully attack will be hugely expensive and will carry a massive poison pill. (After all, the blockchain has hydra-like qualities) Bitcoin does not have the USG blessing, it's just that they are always sooo slow to act. The genius behind Bitcoin is that it is not worth attacking when it is small and vulnerable, and it is extremely resilient once it becomes big enough. |

Here is Jon Matonis' answer: Government Ban On Bitcoin Would Fail Miserably http://www.financialsense.com/contributors/jon-matonis/government-ban-on-bitcoin-would-fail-miserablyI maintain that a government ban on bitcoin would be about as effective as alcohol prohibition was in the 1920s. Government prohibition doesn't even do a good job of keeping drugs out of prisons. The demand for an item, in this case digital cash with user-defined levels of privacy, does not simply evaporate in the face of a jurisdictional ban. One could even make the case that it becomes stronger because an official recognition that Bitcoin is not only a "renegade" currency but a "so-effective-it-had-to-be-banned" currency would imbue the cryptographic money with larger than life qualities. I mean, just try stopping something like this: https://localbitcoins.com/ |

If you had 20 minutes to present bitcoin to a room full of professional businesspersons, what would your MAIN POINT be? In otherwords, what would unify your entire talk? Make the first 5 minutes a live demonstration. Show, don't tell!(Practice it beforehand to make sure it's smooth) "Monkey see, monkey do" is one of the most powerful forces in marketing. Also, use analogy. 99% of them will know how to use e-mail. 100% of them will know how to use cash. Probably 99% of them will not know how cash or e-mail actually work. So use familiar concepts to explain the unfamiliar idea of bitcoin. Do not talk politics. |

This article is very wrong, but very interesting. It addresses an issue that has come up with almost all previous attempts at digital currencies: an all out government attack. I want to bring it up because even 'though Bitcoin is designed to withstand precisely this sort of attack and survive, a bit of contingency planning on our part can help make that attack be even more ineffective and less traumatic, as well as spare a lot of hardship to some of those most exposed (especially in the US). In fact I'm pretty sure that one of the reasons for the creation of the Bitcoin Foundation is to make the legal defense of those most vulnerable easier. http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com.es/2013/01/how-bitcoin-dies.html1: A DOJ indictment is unsealed which names everyone on Planet Three who operates, or has ever operated, or perhaps who has ever even breathed on, a BTC/USD exchange, as a criminal defendant. 2: The BTC/USD price falls to 0 and remains there. BTC are permanently worthless. Everyone who was involved in the Bitcoin market and was holding BTC when the indictments were unsealed feels burned. Everyone who got out feels lucky. Many who escape prosecution, in fact, feel lucky. And BTC is remembered as an epic bubble. We have precedents enough for both types of attack. See ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-gold) e-gold (and the many exchanges which existed around it) or the Liberty Dollar ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_dollar) for a good example of how much harm the DOJ can do. See the London Gold Pool ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Gold_Pool) for how the attack can be carried out for years on the price front. The combination of both could be very harmful, even if there are workarounds. They would be incapable of destroying Bitcoin, but they could certainly drive it underground and delay mainstream adoption for a long, long time. |
