1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Early bitcoin mining and unique addresses on: May 24, 2014, 01:15:43 PM
Bitcoin was designed generally assuming addresses would never be reused. A number of the assumptions in the design are broken by reuse— but users are ignorant and lazy and now adays reuse addresses frequently. The reference software does it right generally, so you don't see so much reuse earlier in Bitcoin's history.

What is the benefit of not reusing addresses?

Just buy the coins instead fellas. more profitable.

Some people like the idea of mining coins. Why do people buy Antminer S1/S2? 333MH Sticks? Not ROI, I hope.

Same thing with mining contracts. They sell on ebay all day long. Sometimes for a premium of 1000%. They are short term contracts, like 24 Hours. You will NEVER make your money back. But, people buy them.
