If Wex comes back, there's only one way they can win back the trust of users.  They'll need to tell us what happened, why they were silent about it and how it they'll prevent it in the future.  Paying off the tokens would go a very long way in wining trust.  Wex is a cash cow, so I don't see then just jumping ship.

There should not be a blanket 55% back.  If that missing 45% is 30% fiat and 15% coin, then we should get back 85% coin and the rest in tokens.   

If there servers are in Russia there's a good chance they're moving them.  I'm really hoping for everyone in my situation.

BEST case scenario, there servers are broken and getting fixed, VERY unlikely.  Worst case BTC-e is a front for money laundering and such, more than, and hopefully not.  More than likely they're down so the feds can go over they're records.   

Glad to see things progressing.  Once everything gets going, I hope we see more solo mining.  There's no reason to pay pool fees.

It's not the fact that Silkroad is gone.  It's that there was zero impact to Bitcoin when it was gone.  Once bigger organizations saw that, they started taking Bitcoin as a new currency.

Now that bit-coin is considered money.  Bitfunder is a stock exchange, the government wants to get its greedy hands in the cookie jar.  Hopefully Bitfunder gets all the regulations figured out. 

Thanx for the link, but it's in Chinese.

Is there a chart out there that shows how much in fees have been paid out, and how many transactions have been made?

If someone were able to do a double spend or revers a transaction, would we ever know about it?

at the current price, once difficulty hits 50mil 

what it looks like whats happening, he's increasing his chance of solving a block.  Any miner that requires a tx's in the block won't get to solve his blocks, thus lowering his difficulty.

When the subject of mining comes up. I tell them it's how transactions are verified, and that you get a very small compensation for your work.  The more miners there are the stronger bitcoin will be.  Not just from a 51% attack. If mega-miners(individuals with a large % of the hashing power)start ddosing each other, or one of them goes off-line.  It would more than likely start to destabilize the trust that novices and new comers have.  There sell off probably won't make much of a dent, but it would stall bitcoin growth.  Thankfully bitcoin hasn't been hurt by its growing pains, the sooner its full grown the better.

Just had my first casualty, thankfully only my MB.  Got a message saying my usb was drawing too much power.  Then two of the 5v power supply started melting the plastic on the MB.

I know the chances of 2 exact keys is mindbogglingly small, but what would happen if there were?

I have found little about why the change is needed.  Could someone explain the reason for the change, and please dumb it down. 

If you open up the fins on the heat sink, your temps would drop a lot more.  Love the idea.

It would be nice to get a more detail on how to do it.
