Is there any possible downside to it? Also, how many resources would have to go into making the .onion site? I only ever once used TOR, and went to the darknet wiki... Also, not to derail this thread, but what are some good .onion sites I should know about.

I place the lid down. And the cover down, if anybody wants to use the toilet in my house, they have to lift ether one or two lids. Take half a second, and everyone ends up equal. Nobody has ever whined about that arrangement. Unlike the other one.

I find it kind of odd that some user's trust ratings count more than others, that their feedback is displayed by default. I would rather that they all be displayed on the trust page in a person's profile. Separate, but still. Gotta say, I agree with Vod, the problem is that there are people with several accounts, people with several accounts out to scam people... so we gotta keep it in mind.

No. But that's my dream, first 1, then 21, 210 even!

Bitcoin will still be below $500 by the end of 2015. It's going to take a very long time before it hits the $1000+ mark.

We're going to see those before 2017. The halving is going to push us over $1000. For bitcoin, $2000 is going to be the new $200 in the year 2018.

I remember using bitcoin core for that, once. Havent needed to sign or verify a message since.
10  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin goes to 1200-1300 within a month. on: July 28, 2015, 04:34:01 AM
Three days to go, I would assume this prediction is wrong? I really don't see bitcoin rallying above $450. We will not see $500 before September or maybe October.
11  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How are block sizes determined? on: July 23, 2015, 12:42:46 AM
It really depends on the configuration of the pool at they are mining on. As far as I know, they can change the max size of their blocks with software (i.e. include less transactions).
Short version: Bigger blocks simply give bigger miners an financial advantage. To understand this properly you have to understand how the network works. Let's say that Miner X finds a new block and sends it to their peers and starts working on finding another block (after that one). Now the peers have to receive and validate that block, then relay it to other peers and start mining. The original miner was already working during this whole process, which gives him a advantage.

You would have to do a lot of research and calculations to figure out exactly how much advantage this is.

Thanks, that's very informative. I was just asking in a general sense. I knew that the propagation of a block was to be considered in the block size debate, so that got me wondering. Also, is there any general disadvantage to mining (or setting up your miners/pool to mine) small blocks?

I have a cybertech tablet because I cant afford a good phone yet, so at the moment, my brother lets me use his tablet. So I just play stuff on it. A zombie game and talking tom, mostly.

What if we created a powerful and Intelligent AI, intelligent enough to rule the world.

Depending on how much it values individual human rights and freedoms, I could get behind having an AI ruling over us. I'm sure an AI would make a much better minister of finance than quite a few people in office today.

How do miners chose how big they want their blocks? What are the advantages and risks of big blocks? What are the advantages and risks of small blocks? Thanks in advance.
