How can you say this? Dwolla doesn't compare at all to Bitcoin. - Dwolla's fee is 100x higher than a typical Bitcoin fee of 0.0005 BTC - Dwolla is only available to 4% of the world's population (US only), compared to Bitcoin available to 30% of the world population (2 billion people online) - Dwolla accounts can be seized and frozen, Bitcoin is immune to this - Dwolla can reverse transfers received by merchants (see TradeHill case), whereas a Bitcoin txfer confirmed by 6 blocks pretty much guarantees it is irreversible - Dwolla users forfeit all anonymity by having to provide a proof of ID, at least Bitcoin make pseudo-anonymity possible

Quote from: general.crackdown on September 19, 2011, 06:33:09 AM - they are a way to instantly send money across the world with very low fees - Already exists without risk of Bitcoin exchange rate fluctuations. - they are decentralized; no authority can freeze or seize your assets - Also applied to gold - they are pseudo-anonymous; contrary to traditional financial systems - Also applies to credit cards [sic, I think general.crackdown meant preloaded debit cards] Notice how you suggest 3 mutually exclusive solutions. For example: you cannot instantly (in minutes) send gold across the world to an anonymous peer, e-gold is dead, preloaded debit cards are freezable and not decentralized, etc. Bitcoin satisfies all 3 at once, and conveniently. That's what makes it powerful & valuable. Think of it as digital gold.

Bitcoins have value. They are a currency (because people are willing to trade goods/services for them) that provide unique, valuable features: - they are a way to instantly send money across the world with very low fees <- this is valuable - they are decentralized; no authority can freeze or seize your assets <- this is valuable - they are pseudo-anonymous; contrary to traditional financial systems <- this is valuable You can't argue against the above. These features alone give them at least some value... and I would argue a LOT of value.

i0coin client download: https://github.com/fusebox/i0coin ElectricMucus: I said I will send the coins FIRST. (I bought them, did not mine them). Also... I am raising the price: .0003 BTC. Still cheaper than i0exchange! PM me if anyone wants them. PS: I am not a newbie. I just post rarely on the forums.

I'm TIRED of this shitty i0exchange that is always down when I want to sell. I GIVE UP and SELL all my coins, thirty five thousand of them for .0003 BTC each (cheaper than i0exchange). Obviously I have no rep so I can send fraction of the coins first, you pay a fraction, (I need to trust you too), then we exchange the rest. pm me

Does anybody have experience buying graphics cards in bulk from distributors (Ingram, Avnet, etc) as an individual customer? I am talking $15,000 or more. Preferably in OEM/non-retail packaging. Please share your experience if you can.
