The amount of the Bitcoins that are being generated is very linear. So it should be possible to calculate when we will reach the maximum 21 million BTC to be in circulation.
Did anyone calculate this yet? When will the last Bitcoin be mined?

It's not linear, it's curved. It's 2140 when the last bitcoin can be earned! And each coin has 8 decimal places so there are 2.1 Quadrillion Satoshi currency units!
So this is not linear for you?

Also, lol at the terrorism FUD. So discrediting...

A good friend of mine has a theory of how we use "negative entropy" sources to help us more easily get things done.  An example of a "negative entropy" source are words that create a strong emotional response, like "terrorism." 

His theory is that we will use these words (negentropy) to dump entropy into until we've extracted all of the useful work from that source.  At this point, these words actually begin to have the opposite effect on the public as they once did. 

I think we are nearing that point already.  Whenever I hear "terrorist," "drugs," "money laundering," or "child porn" my instant emotional response is against the person who is trying to use these words to advance their agenda. 
This is interesting because I react exactly the same when person use "terrorist," "drugs," "money laundering," or "child porn" in debate or as argument for something, person lose for me all credibility straight away.

This is fastest way to lose the money, you will have no money and no bitcoin. Don't touch spread betting you will always be on lose position, gambling is more profitable then spread  betting.

It's possible you ran into a nē computation issue rather than actual corruption. If it happens next time, give it 30 minutes and see if it completes.

As for the scanning, how many wallets do you use at the same time and do you use imported private keys? These could be the cause of the multiple transaction scans.

 I have only 2 wallets, keys were not imported.

Kerogore,

Is Armory crashing every time you type in your password?  We have a known wallet corruption problem, but it's easy to fix if you have a backup.  If not we, can also perform a recovery of the wallet file, which is usually successful.

See the following page for more info ("Armory crashes every time I type in my password"):

https://bitcoinarmory.com/download/troubleshooting/
I installed 90.-beta version and encrypted wallet, after that was not able send any bitcoin armory client crash, I unencrypted wallet and try it again, 90.-beta crash again, i re-installed version 89.14-beta was able send bitcoin, I encrypted wallet again and after thad armory crash (89.14-beta) when I try send bitcoin, I unencrypted wallet and now was able send it again, I dont know what to do now. Can wallet by corrupted to the point then i will not able recovery private key or print copy of offline wallet ?

Was Armory crashing (as in closes on its own) or hanging (stopped responding but didn't close itself)? If you can access your wallet I strongly suggest you create a paper backup for now. You can then write down your experience (with as much details as possible) to contact@bitcoinarmory.com
It "stopped responding but didn't close itself" windows notification(Application is not responding Close/Wait I did close) I notice also transaction scanig behave strange, sometime it start scan transaction show 1% scaned jump to 99% back to 1% and again 99% and then 100% and its take only 1-2 minutes oposit to assume "normal" scanig abaut 10min.

Kerogore,

Is Armory crashing every time you type in your password?  We have a known wallet corruption problem, but it's easy to fix if you have a backup.  If not we, can also perform a recovery of the wallet file, which is usually successful.

See the following page for more info ("Armory crashes every time I type in my password"):

I installed 90.-beta version and encrypted wallet, after that was not able send any bitcoin armory client crash, I unencrypted wallet and try it again, 90.-beta crash again, i re-installed version 89.14-beta was able send bitcoin, I encrypted wallet again and after thad armory crash (89.14-beta) when I try send bitcoin, I unencrypted wallet and now was able send it again, I dont know what to do now. Can wallet by corrupted to the point then i will not able recovery private key or print copy of offline wallet ?

Armory is very unstable, (Windows 7 64 bit 4GB) anything except 89.99.14-beta crashing every time I want to send bitcoin, and what is purpose of transaction scanning and why it take so long??? I  like offline wallet but how much unstable it is  scary.

As soon you start insult people because they don't agree with you, you lose argument

Logic doesn't have an ego.

I lose the attention of the Bitards who would prefer to remain in blissful delusion. Perfect.

I see the Bitcoin Wiki is incorrect:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Attacks#Attacker_has_a_lot_of_computing_power

Quote
The attacker can't:

* Change the number of coins generated per block
* Create coins out of thin air
Can you try explain to me how they will able produce more coins?

Refer also to my immediately prior post.

Only miners can add coins with the coinbase transaction that is placed in each new mined block of the block chain.

If an attacker controls > 50% of the hashrate, the attacker will always have the longest block chain. So the attacker decides what is acceptable in the blocks.

The honest miners will reject any block chain which has more new coins in the coinbase transaction than was specified in Satoshi's whitepaper.

However, if the attacker has the longest chain, then the honest miners can ignore all they want, they will still have the shorter chain.

The entire double-spend security rests on the fact that only the longest block chain is valid.

So the only thing the honest miners and honest non-mining nodes could do would be to fork the block chain. But the attacker can then attack the forked chain. And so on and so on. There is no escape.

Checkmate. You accept the new coins.

P.S. If the honest miners try to blacklist the attacker by IP, he can send to the network from innumerable IP addresses employing a $100 botnet rental. Once you go down that road, the entire network has to be blacklisted, so lights out. Checkmate. You accept the new coins.

I get it now you won the race you have 50% bitcoin network power you produce block and inside  block is messag  'I'm with stupid' now you have block chain.  Bitcoin transaction block,Bitcoin transaction block,Bitcoin transaction block,'I'm with stuppid',Bitcoin transaction block,Frank was here,Bitcoin transaction block,Bitcoin transaction block. Longest chain won.

Hey dumb ass a node doesnt have to be a miner to be counted as a node. Having >50% hashing power doesnt mean >50% of network node.

Welcome to my ignore list retard,

Ok  you have control > 50%  you add 1000 bitcoin to new address and release the block you won race now how network will react to new chain whit additional 1000 bitcoin in only your chain ?

Because mathematically you need to know the prior block hash before you can compute the next one.

And unless you have > 50% of the total network hash rate, then you can't permanently compute the next hash faster than the network can.

Note you can with declining probability P (< 1) compute the next hash faster than the network with less than 50% of the hash rate. Since probability is multiplicative, then doing this for two consecutive blocks is P x P, e.g. 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01 so from 1 in 10 for one block rises to 1 in 100 chance for two blocks. Ditto for N consecutive blocks, e.g. for four blocks then 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 = 1 in 10,000 chance.

Anony, thanks for the explanation.

So if someone has over 50% of the total network hash rate is that something to be concerned about?  Do you think it will ever happen?

My pleasure.

Yes very worried because it means they can control the network and even modify the protocol to make it a fiat, create a zillion coins, etc.. Some argue that they can't do that because the Bitcoiners will fork to a new chain. But these Bitards forget that the masses don't care about Bitcoiner idealism. They just want to buy their pizza. See my Transactions Withholding Attack thread for more explanation on that. Once the masses are already using one fork, they won't switch. The controller could run the fork well enough that the masses are happy, even while creating more coins, etc. Exactly like fiat. We go right back where we started.

In my (opinionated) analysis it is very likely to happen (when coin rewards diminish near to 0) with Bitcoin, because of a flaw in the design (transaction fees should be zero instead).

Or another attack which gives up control of the network. Dig, dig, dig into the rabbit hole:

I'm not developer but I wold build a layer on top of  Bitcoin you don't need a lot of bitcoin to do it you can send one between parties and just pay transaction fee.
