не думаю, что организаторы этот момент не учитывали, раз уж собрались подобное запускать. наверняка есть какой-то план. вернее, хотелось бы в это верить, т.к. идея сама по себе имеет место быть, и ооочень интересно посмотреть на её реализацию, особенно в современных реалиях.

Certainly such a review is helpful if you are considering what card to buy. But of course, the use of such a site depends on its coverage of the available hardware of the market. Consider how you can compete with https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison . For example, you should measure the power consumption of the cards.

I usually lurk on forums, but if there comes a post I want to reply to, I don't want to find that I can't. So in effect, I spam this forum part to increase my post count. 

There has been a lot of talk about Bitcoin in the Swedish blogosphere, much due to Rick Falkvinge (founder of the Swedish Pirate Party) proclaiming that he has invested all his savings in bitcoins. (At least that's how I found out about it.) See this link (in English): http://falkvinge.net/2011/05/29/why-im-putting-all-my-savings-into-bitcoin/

Thanks!

But I'm not sure I get this... I've read about transaction fees on the wikiw: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees and I understand that there is a mandatory fee on very small amounts, less than 0.01. But even if this has changed, the error message I get tells me that the amount I'm trying to send, 0.01 BTC, is over the size limit. What size limit? Does this refer to the "blocksize"? The wiki says "0.01 BTC fee per kilobyte of transaction, but: If the blocksize (size of all transactions currently waiting to be included in a block) is less than 27 kB, transactions are free." Have I come above 27 kB? How do I know the blocksize?

Are other people able to send 0.01 BTC without paying fees?

Hello, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Bitcoin, and I must admit I'm a bit confused at the moment. As most people, I imagine, the first thing I did was receiving my 0.02 from the faucet. This was a couple of days ago. Then today, I decided to try to use the money, so I went to Double Trouble, and tried to bet 0.01. When trying to send this amount, I got the message "This transaction is over the size limit.  You can still send it for a fee of 0.01 ..." Is this really expected behaviour? The only thing I could find on the forum was mentions of mandatory fees when sending amounts below 0.01.

In the end, I ended up paying the fee (in hindsight, not the smartest thing to do, since at best, the fee was equal to what I would win, but I just wanted to see the money in action). My sending reached 6 confirmations after about 11 minutes. Again, is it usual to wait that long? Considering that I payed a fee, I mean?

(By the way, I did end up winning, so I'm now back at 0.02. Heh.)
