Isnt IPv4 getting superseeded, you know by IPv6.

The currency can only be backed by pure math to be futureproof.

If you have more in there than you are willing to lose, you're doing it wrong.

Hey, Great news about getting a Security Audit. Umm, just dont give them "Read-only" access to our passwords, it doesn't end well.  |

Which deflationary currency has failed?
Failed probably the wrong word. Maybe "decided against". Either way, I don't see many of them around. |

1 BTC has to cross X Wallets in Y Time or Z % of that BTC will vanish.
So I use a client that has been patched to send coins to another address in my wallet periodically. There is no way anyone but me can know all the addresses in my possession, they are anonymous. The way I see it, yes deflationary currency's have failed in the past, but it was a different, slower world. Bitcoin is a great experiment in how such a system would work in a Global Market, with a huge diversity of participants trading in real time. Yes, there is a chance that the lessons of the past may hold true, but the opportunity to help give Bitcoin a chance to succeed is way too good to pass up. (And we're having some laughs along the way.) |

The 400k BTC was just Mt. Gox moving the coin from the Exchange Site to a backend server to protect them, nothin' sus.
Only about 3000 BTC were removed from MT. Gox by the hacker, so I think Mt. Gox can wear that.

Woohoo, 78.
I remember it like yesterday, I bought in with Paypal, it doubled in a couple of days, sold half and withdrew using paypal and have sat on the rest and waited ever since. Back when bitcoin was fun, now it is just stressful.

The value isn't in the Mining, its in the users.
I think it's the same as Desktop Operating Systems. Yes, Linux is probably better than Windows, technically, but the users, and therefore the developers (and vise versa.) just aren't there.
Bitcoin2 will appear, but it will need significant advantages over bitcoin to gain value, and even then it will take many years longer to reach the limited success that Bitcoin has seen so far, because the idea is no longer new, and likely early adopter will be already fully vested in bitcoin. Hmm, probably the same reason the banks and governments aren't jumping into bitcoin.

14c, got nervous and sold at 26c. (I you wouldnt believe how happy I was at the time, I made $50!)
Bought back in at 76c and $1.76 a few days later. (And i'm holding on for grim life, although the last 12 hours shake the old confidence.)

The formal description of Bitcoin on bitcoin.org states it is a currency.
Is the right to mobile phone network airtime a digital radio wave utility commodity that enables the holder of the right to communicate voice or data on a Network over vast distances?
Is the cryptographic key pair right to a network working at a high hash rate to secure values attributed to a key pair right a digital utility commodity?
In short - is Bitcoin.org a crypto-commodity like MtGox sells / buys for fiat currency?
Does bitcoin.org view bitcoins bought from someone to be bartered when exchanged for goods / services?
Can bitcoins be used as medium of exchange in barter transactions for the digital age, like pebbles, eggs, salt, gold, mobile airtime, etc., have been used in other ages / different communities as medium of exchange in barter transactions?
Or is bitcoin.org proposing a rival currency to national currencies?
Which of the above would be legal under the current social contract?
Are you a poorly coded bot that generates random questions and has a glitch that makes double spaces ?? |

I do not mean to be hateful in any way, but this system just stinks. I am totally on board with the idea that government-issued currency has got to go, and I hope Bitcoin does well.
I downloaded and installed the Bitcoin program. I then looked for a way to acquire Bitcoins.
Bitcoins aren't acquired, they are earned. How do you earn them? 1. Mine. (Boring.) 2. Sell something useful to someone for bitcoin. 3. Exchange. (mtgox.com et al.) Just because the internet is all about instant gratification, doen't mean bitcoin is. Unfortunately for we humans we need to earn money by participating in an economy, just is in real life. (Dont know about you, but when I was born, some stranger didn't just walk up and hand me a fiver, it took a while.) |

Dear miners,
Thank you for adding hashes at such a ridiculous speed
and processing 12.5 blocks per hour. You're solving
the complaint that it takes too long for payments to go through.
Keep it up.
Dear other miners, Thanks for driving up the difficulty and taking those Bitcoins which are rightfully mine. Sincerely, -Interfect This is a joke, right? It is just as valid to say that you are driving up the difficulty for others and taking bitcoins that are rightfully theirs. Wow, 1000 posts and you still cant spot saracsm. What a way to waste your 1000th post, you could have included a balloon and some cake clip-art. On topic, go miners go! |

- I rename my old "x_wallet.dat" back to "wallet.dat"
- I start the bitcoin client again (now running on my old wallet.dat again)
- I transfer a certain amount of bitcoins (0.10 BTC in this case) from here (i.e. from my old wallet) to the new address "xyz".
- The payment appears in the bitcoin client, first as "0/unconfrimed", and then, as usual, after some time as "105/confirmed", with increasing number of confirmations as time goes by...
- I close the bitcoin client again
- I rename my old "wallet.dat" to "z_wallet.dat" again.
I hope for your sake this is just a typo. |

Forecast materialized real well...
New all time high and more to come, given the strength of the rally.
You are a freak! Hope you didnt spend that 50BTC I sent you in feb too quickly, you would have made more off me than my "real" financial advisor, lol. |

Just heard about this from Hiro White, hook that baby up with Facebook (so it puts your address for other nodes to connect to) and all your facebook friends can get onto you.
Yeah, a P2P Facebook alternative would be awesome. That way if you add 600 people you don't even know, you deserve the sucky perfomance. Its been discussed here before about having a WOT enabled client, this project could well provide the framework. |
