O sea que eso de poner las direcciones para que donden en la firma es un tanto "peligroso"?
Lo digo porque en general veo que ponen muchas veces una dirección para que les manden bitcoins.
No es "peligroso". Solo te quita privacidad porque todo el mundo puede asociar esa dirección y las operaciones que haga contigo. |

and yet, a declaration that gold is worth $32/oz (which existed for a few decades) has essentially the same inflationary result - if the fractional reserve requirements for gold and silver (when either backed the dollar) changed, based on how much money the gov't wanted in circulation.
but again, i was speaking practically. i don't think it ever much mattered to the population at large. there weren't a lot of people who showed up at the treasury ("This certifies that there is on deposit at the Treasury of The United States of America One Dollar in silver payable to the bearer on demand" ~ from a silver certificate i'm looking at) asking for metal...
Im not for a gold standard, I support competing currencies, but this is not true. While the gold standard was regularly violated, specially during the Bretton Woods era, the different ties of the dollar to gold had some restraining effect on the government. Since the last tie with gold was broken in the 70's, monetary inflation on the USA has gone to some levels that had never been seen before. So, while the gold standard is not perfect and is easily abused by the government, it offered some level of restrainement compared to the present situation. |

Just to add to Jack of Diamonds response, fiat currencies are backed by coercion and thread of violence, like he said. But usually the population does not accept a monopolly on money easily (we do because we are very used to it and have not seen anything different, hopefully Bitcoin will change that), so what governments usually do to impose a fiat currency is to slowly regulate and ultimately monopolize the existing majoritary currency.
Usually gold and silver is used as currency spontaniously, so the government starts by declaring gold and silver legal tender. Then they start emiting notes supposedly backed by gold and silver, until people is used to the paper and they can break the link with gold and silver. This sequence is a extreme simplification and there are particular variations in every case, but still its quite accurate of what usually happens over decades.

El nuevo cliente aún no ha bajado toda la block chain de la red. Cuando la baje te marcará los dos bitcoins. Ves que todas las transacciones están no confirmadas? Es porque aún no tiene la block chain.

That doesn't mean a damn thing. They could have increased the font size.  I want you to list some actual regulation increase milestones. If you can't do that then I'm going to start listing repeals of major regulations over the last decade and make you look like a fool. Stop acting dumb because you are not dumb. Regulations have changed, some have been added some have gone. But the net result has been an increase of regulations. That is a fact. You can try to deny reality but that is not my problem. Btw, during the Bush era there has been an increase of the money handled by regulators. So its not only an increase of the amount of the reuglations but also an increase of the monetary impact of those regulations. I know a lot of so called "economists" and the official propaganda says that there has been de-regulation, and they use it as explanation for everything, but if you look at the data you can see that there has been an increase of regulations. |

unemployed whats the point of this?

Savers and investors are two sides of the same coin... well, at least they were when banks did their job instead of playing the casino thanks to deregulation. In spite of what the oficial propaganda says, the regulation in the USA has increased in each of the last decades. Citation required.  |

Many people have pointed out that it is a problem for the security of Bitcoin if any of the mining pools gains over 50% of total mining capacity. Its not really such a big problem if a mining pool gains over 50% of the total mining capacity. Its not a desirable situation, but the mining power is not from the pool, and so if the pool started cheating the people connecting to the pool would change to another one. I am wondering, could existing antitrust statutes (such as the Sherman Antitrust Act in the US) be used to forcibly break up such large pools? After all, a majority pool could be considered to be a kind of "monopoly" and to be "anticompetitive." In general, so-called "antitrust" laws and other regulations are not used to attack abusive companies, but to defend the position of abusive companies and hurt competition. If a given pool grows too large, other miners could file a complaint with the Department of Commerce of whatever country that particular pool is based in. The existing civil regulatory procedures could take over from there. Or, a civil suit could be filed in the courts to force faster action. |

Seria necesario que hubiera mas comercios electronicos españoles que funcionaran con estos sistemas...
Sí, totalmente necesario. Yo quiero contactar con agricultores y mercados de comida locales, porque siempre suelen ser receptivos a monedas locales. Y cuando la gente vea que se puede comprar comida con bitcoins, creo que ayudará a la adopción. |

And actually, come to think of it, it really does work well with Bitcoin especially.
"Why Bitcoin?"
"The current money situation is stuck in the stone age. Today when you buy something online, you have a few payment options, all of which are either involve large fees for the merchant, such as credit or debit cards or Paypal, or are slow and cumbersome, like direct bank transfers. If you try to buy something from a merchant in another country, you have limited payment options and even more fees. Even paying people in person is tough- cash is insecure and can be stolen or counterfeit and a check takes days for you to get your money after you drive to a bank to deposit it- assuming it doesn't bounce. The end result is higher prices for you, the customer and longer wait times. Basically, your money isn't even working like it should- to help you get goods and services that you want quickly and safely!
It's time for Money 2.0. Money that transfers in an instant and everyone knows is secure. Money that doesn't require big banks or payment houses to process so there can be zero fees for merchants and lower prices for customers. Money that anyone, anywhere can obtain and use, no matter their local currency. Money that can be everywhere you want it to be in an instant, and nowhere else. It's time for Money 2.0 and it's Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a digital blahahabblablahbla........"
Someone take this and make a happy animated youtube video out of it.
Ohhh... Where can I buy this bitcoins of yours?  |

I agree with you 99%. The wild swings in trading prevent merchants from adopting BTC as a useful currency; there's no easy way to price a good or service. The 1% disagreement I have regards the impact of speculators. Stability will happen only when there are more speculators; the market needs to be saturated. As more speculators enter, the more narrow the margins become. Stability follows. +1 The more speculators the more stable bitcoin will be. Also, the Bitcoin community is learning and becoming better at trading. Embrace greed. It is your friend. Greed is not your friend, neither your enemy. Greed just is. |

Groups like wikileaks are essential. The only community wide justification for censorship is during war, and only of important military information. And this information should be time-released anyway.
Capitalism and media are not in the best interests of the community. Corporations power over the media is disgusting and needs to be overhauled.
By, let me guess. . .government oversight? LOL No. The best way to fight against capitalism is through a free market. |

- What is gonna happen to those country who stored USD as their GDP ?
Is this gonna make BTC value doubled/tripled because of usd value dive ?
What do you guys think ? I dont think you meant to say that a country stores USD as their GDP. GPD is the measure of economic activity. I think that all the countries know that the debt ceiling will be lifted and are ready for it or even have arranged some deal with the USA. F.e. at the begginning of the crisis the Federal Reserve bought a lot of the Freddie and Fannie debt from overseas (specially from China), and curiously enough China kept buying USA gov debt. |

Aye, obviously. My point about being a good sign or a bad one was in regards to updating the address points to get it working with this card, but I don't know what I'm doing so I'm out.
I looked into this a bit. Also looked into the code of RadeonVolt. It turns out the information to get the temperature of the VRM and the current (so you can get the W) is obtained through I2C ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C). But different models have different parameters, so you need to "talk" to each component differently. This is probably the reason why its not working in your card (and mine) and giving you those numbers. There is software who has coded the protocol for nearly all the VRM models (that is how GPU-Z gets it), but its not available in Linux. I think its the only thing missing in Linux now. |

If there is, it better be efficient on these ATI cards. Wonder if making a new mine-able currency efficient on ATI cards would be a good thing or a bad thing. Would you want a HUGE jump in hashing power from all the Bitcoin miners switching over? Or maybe make it super efficient on the old 3DFx cards, just for fun It does not matter. If suddenly a new miner software allowed the miners to do hashing at double speed, everybody would switch, difficultry would double and everything would remain the same. |

I recomend to some of the poster here to stop insulting to other members of the community.
Regarding the article is a bunch of non-sequiturs. I would appreciate if the op would bring a serious economic analisys and not the economic political propaganda.
Hugolp, thanks for responding to my criticism. It boosts my opinion of you as a moderator. I agree with you that insults are counter-productive but I see people of the libertarian and anarcho-capitalism persuasion making insults and moderators don't say anything. While I disagree with the above posters, and their methods, I will defend their right to express their opinions. And I while I don't know what the word was that you deleted, it can't be any worse than the things that are normally said on the forum. However, I realize it is your prerogative as a moderator and I respect that. I just encourage you to make sure you treat everyone the same even if you disagree with them. Of course anyone can express their own opinion. I dont think there is any doubt on that. Regarding the moderation of insults, I (or the other moderators) can not be everywhere. The forum has grown big and I can not read everything that it is posted. Insult that I see, insult I remove. That is all I can do. Keep in mind I am a volunteer, Im not getting payed for this. |
