I think that as long as something gets the word out for bitcoin without it being about negative news then it's good. Obviously CEOs are going to use every chance they get for publicity of their venture but that doesn't take away the fact that the CEO of a hugely successful venture received coverage after having something positive to say about BTC.
Agreed, if people all of the sudden see a pay with bitcoin option, they might be inclined to learn what bitcoin is. |

Almost all of the keys are empty, probably all of them are empty. The chance to find an address which contains any bitcoin at all is too small.
Not all of them are empty, I do believe that is a list of all addresses. Just dynamically generated when required. |

Alot easier to hide a bitcoin payment from your wife then a credit card bill. "Honey? What's this $19.99 charge to naughty America?"
Well theoretically if we were using just bitcoin you would still see a $20 charge to someone, it just wouldn't show who. |

The fees for this are crazy when I could just sell the bitcoins through coinbase and use my actual debit card.

I let it stack in my wallet  Bitcoin isn't proof of stake, letting bitcoins sit in your wallet doesn't really sound like a way to get more bitcoins to me. O dear, that`s why is going so slow. Wait, did you seriously think bitcoin was proof of stake? Did you find out about altcoins before bitcoin? |

has anyone ever even sent a tx with a 1btc fee?  thats hard to imagine People have sent transactions with much larger fees than that. I'm sure there's a way to find them, just google it. |

So that's why everyone keeps spamming Monero. Yes and no. Some people are indeed very enthusiastic about it because as you said, it sounds pretty cool. Others spam about it to discredit it in a sort of reverse trolling way. The coin market is a very messy competitive business with all manner of attacks flying in every direction (think "food fight"). It sounds pretty cool but I'm not quite sure I would want to drop bitcoin when bitcoin is so much more developed service wise. I agree with you 100% I hope we can get some of those features over to bitcoin soon.
Unlikely in practice. Cryptonote/Monero has been around for about 18 months and none of the features have been implemented in Bitcoin, nor will be any time soon. There is vague discussion about a flexible block size but that isn't happening any time soon either, assuming it happens at all. Bitcoin bureaucracy seems to move pretty slowly. I don't think I'll be around by the time anything about that happens. |

Well, I've seen everything now, including a dice site that tells me not to play there. Well done.

So effectively you are saying that if people using an unregulated exchange that is not compliant they will lose money, and therefore the end of Bitcoin? Is that really what I just read?
I'm saying if Service A supports blacklisting, and Service B does not, and User recieves blacklisted coins from Service B, which does not blacklist, and tries to use them at Service A, they will not be able to. |

I don't have any clue who owns that account any more or why people would even care.

I wasn't aware of that. I assume that only goes one level deep. In other words, if I have stolen coins (.5 BTC) and normal coins (.5 BTC)
and I send that to another address of mine, and then send you 1 BTC, you can't separate out the stolen coins from the normal coins.
that is true indeed. You can separate them until the two are spent together, since they are separate outputs as explained in the last few posts. Once they are spent together, they can't be separated. What I expect will likely happen in a system with widespread regulation and blacklist once they are mixed (spent) together is that you would then have to send the 1.0 to some government (or other third party service) address, along with your identifying information, and you would get the 0.5 clean back. That would be the end of bitcoin, since there's going to be some amount of taint going on almost all the time. Can't see it happening. Agreed, you will get people that are unlucky and receive coins from an exchange that did not support blacklisting, and then that user will have effectively lost money. |

I've used the wallet and I like it, especially how secure it can be along with it's features.

can anyone tell me how i can change my local currency from USD tu Euro while using localtrader?
i have created a trade in germany and want to sell bitcoins for Euros, but i can't change the USD button to any other currency.
i am using the mycelium app with an android emulator (bluestacks) on my computer
Be careful using bluestacks, it can be very unstable. Make sure you have a backup of your phrase before you start receiving bitcoins. |

If people start trying to blacklist coins I will do everything in my power to stop them and I suggest everyone else do the same because blacklisting would harm bitcoin beyond anything we've seen so far.
That would help your peers or people you are in communication with. But not everyone. You can't stop black listing. It's kind of in the gray area. I isn't in full force but it isn't something you can just squish (unless we are talking major bitcoin protocol code changes). You can fight it by boycotting any service that uses or supports blacklisting coins. That much is within your power. Yes, but in a limited space (ecosystem wise) currently, boycotting any business that is a major player in the space does limit your ability and others to transact with bitcoin. You basically take those businesses off of your list to do deals with. Essentially limiting your options even more. Hopefully this wont be a wide spread problem. As if it gains traction I can see boycotting being irrelevant especially if most large BTC businesses start implementing blacklists. There are very few bitcoin services currently that do not have at least one alternative. |

I recommend bitcoin to 3 friends and all of them was very skeptic and negative about it. After that I gave up  People are just to scared to invest on Internet or try something new and revolutionary. We need more public videos that can easily dispel the myths about bitcoin. A lot of people I've talked to think it's only for drugs and hackers. |

what does this say about their wallet, will it get shut down soon too?
I really hope that they as an exchange service will continue to function, I rely on them. alot of merchants also use the bitpay service to accept payments, they should build back up soon. That's why I'm always excited when a new exchange service launches, we need more of them. |

Its like learning to drive a stick or ride a bike. Once you learn, it easy. Usage must be incentivized to get past 1st hurdle.
But I think there's a lot of people that won't get over that first hurdle, and then they'll dismiss bitcoin completely. Most people will just ignore bitcoin until they can't. The same happened with the Internet, people would ignore it now they just can't ignore it, they will have to use it in work, school or personal life. People will ignore bitcoin until a point where they just have to use it. So we need to get bitcoin to a point where it is big enough that those people can't ignore it, and that's by gaining more users, and the easier it is to use the more users it can retain. |

Oh, of course it was karples that had the trademark. Nevermind then, but it would mean that he would have to oppose the creation of the TLD, which I don't think he would do. |
