very very suprising the preic did not react to it!  Angry i remeber the rally when DISH started accepting btc, why nothing when a 4x times bigger company does the same?
has it been assumed that at some point everyone will acccept BTC and that has been factored in the price?

One thing is that a company starts accepting bitcoin and another is that people use that method to pay, we need a detonator to bring people into this payment system.

the problem is BTC is actually present only in the US (maybe China as well to some extent). But other than that, BTC is not really popular in majority of the countries!

kashish948 you say better features... but which features?

i have only seen you mention 1. syncing.

you do realise that the crap coins seem faster to sync, not because the alt has better features but because of these 2 reasons
1. crap coin(altcoins) blocks are smaller because they are used less, with less transactions per block
2. crap coin(altcoins) dont have 5 years of large data to send.

analogy
if i write a novel, and you wrote a leaflet ofcourse its going to take longer for people to read a novel..  but atleast the novel tells a better story and people want that. not some crap that gets thrown away..

so, tell me what actual FEATURES do you want to see in bitcoin-core.. name me 5 FEATURES


1. Voting System
2. Faster Blocks
3. Maybe an optional anon feature (Don't know how many will like this though)
4. Price, difficulty charts, etc. built into the client
5. POS maybe?
6. Something NEW! Why can't Bitcoin innovate further?


PS: To be honest, I realized there are not MANY features missing from BTC Wink

It would be incredibly hard to introduce a new feature. Depending on the feature you might need EVERYONE to adopt it.
with alt coins their is usually only 1 client so you  don't really have to much of a choice, right ?

i would rather the devs fix up existing features and problems. Now I understand the purpose of the blockchain but jeeeez I would hate to have to download it again. I am even to scared to see how big it is now. It must be growing at a huge rate.... and yeah yeah I can use a light client, but their is a fundamental issue if 99% of people have to do that.

One of the best things they did was what ever it was to speed up the time it takes to sync... I think what ever it was... was introduced in the version
after/around 0.6.3. I'm still loving it heh.  The new stuff they put into 0.9 seems knda silly but maybe I just don't understand the purpose.

Hmmmmm I should really branch out and see what some of the other clients besides Bitcoin-QT have to offer.

If everyone can adopt from 0.6s to 0.9s why not include the new features in the next update? and yes they should get the syncing faster!

Why does bitcoin not include the new features from altcoins? There are like tons of new features even if you leave out anon that will increase BTC's use and value. So why not include them in Bitcoin Core? BTC is trailing behind others in terms of features, the only (HUGE) advantage is thats its the first accepted by a huge number of merchants.

Well, simply that they aren't deemed of enough importance to actually merit discussion by the developers. I doubt that they aren't aware of what altcoins offer, but instead they do not consider it useful enough to have to ask for a consensus from the miners and nodes in order to prevent problems associated with forking. The first and foremost purpose of BTC is to act as a decentralized currency that can be used as a semi-anonymous means of conducting transactions in a (mostly) irreversible manner. Any other concern is really just secondary.

Agreed the basic purpose is acting as a decentralized irreversible currency but what is the the problem of including beeter features without compromising the basic purpose? Why will it not have consesus? It won't harm BTC in any way, will it?

Due to the nature of this deal, I would need payment up front.

I'm interested but does this mean you want us to send the money first and then pick up the car? or can we just pay when we meet?

If a cash deal was made, I have no problem with when we meet, I said this as if it was a BTC deal, I Dont have portable wallet so I would need to make sure payment was received at home before I handed over the keys.

Hope this makes sense.

lol why dont you just download a portable wallet or bring your laptop along and use your phones hotspot?
