Anonymity is protection and defence from abuse.
When a system is corrupt and under monopoly control, such as the US dollar, most new regulations brought it are brought it to limit competition and increase control over resources by those that have it.
I'm not sure what the prevailing opinion is. But I'm under the opinion that money should be issued by a government but not controlled by a government, money should be controlled only by those who own it. Bitcoin is just a more logical and simply better system. An anonymous coin such as Darkcoin appeals to me. Regulation is control is protection coming from the haves against the have-nots.
Good points. If people choose to use a coin, that is an exercise of their democratic freedoms. If people find a coin unfair, they can choose to use an alternative coin. That looks to me like the ultimate form of democracy: direct voting on the preferred currency, which is superior to representative democracy, IMHO. Yes but this system ultimately suffers from the same drawbacks or trade-offs than democracy has in the political system: People are forced to live with the strongest faction. If many of the altcoins don't succeed, people will have to use bitcoin. But I agree, that it is still the best system we can apply. |

Shouldn't there be some kind of part of the fee be associated with the size or amount of the outputs being generated? If I do a payment to multiple recipients. Or do you think it is enough to do this via the size of the whole transaction?

Greed in this world?  I guess you won't exactly having much fun around here if you can't stand greed. People in Bitcoinland are not only here for improving humanity. Most of them want to improve their wallets! |

Like I said, we're not allowed to leave the 615-625 corridor as of now. Someone is paying attention, that we remain here forever. Was this dump just another dump from someone whou couldn't postpone it any further or have there been some news?

It happened. I'd like you tell Buzz it didn't happen and see what happens.  He'll send you to the moon by kicking your ass I guess Then you can see for yourself that all those artifacts still reside on the shiny gray surface of your beloved natural satellite! |

Am I the only one not really into them? People bugged me to watch some of them but I think they're just silly But if it's your kind of humor, enjoy them!  |

Yea I should probably do that. Just wanted to let bitcointalkers know first You always want to attract the nicest kind of people. Or people you want to have around your forums. If you only target cheapskates, well it could backfire. |

Well you could try and sell pictures online. Register with some stock-photo company and monetize your creativity! If you are girl you could also try to sell pictures of yourself. But people may expect you to do weird stuff. I mean, really weird stuff.

Right now windows 7 on a Mac. Also a rather old one. Not funny, I can tell you!

Nice, you guys actually started this thread. This will be my motivation to watch football outside of the world/Euro cup. Any interesting tournaments to watch? National leagues? Or is there a break right now?
It's too hot. Players worth multiple millions of USD can't seriously be bothered to kick a leather ball across a field of grass when the sun is shining. They need their holidays in tropical locations, too! |

According to Wikipedia, majority of China uses IE   and they got enough reasons to do it. Google Chrome forces you to use their services like Gmail, Google search, G+  , Youtube, etc which are no doubt pretty nice services but the thing is Most of Google services are banned in China like Google search, Google docs, YouTube, and they pretty much censored all the internet :p Although I think the first preferred choice should be firefox after Google Chrome or maybe TOR They should release separate information for Cupertino, Mountain View and also Redmond. I guess the browser that will be dominating are Safari, Chrome, and IE respectively I guess you'll be fired if you use another browser there... |

Really, man that's pretty messed up! I mean it's a tad ironic, but that's the way she goes, I guess  |

Some people claim that certain countries are once again on the verge of a housing bubble. Interest rates are low and times are still a tad uncertain, so people try and buy a house that's overvalued...

That thing is even more volatile than the bitcoin price. Well, at least usually, not considering the last weeks or so |

BTCGarden, ROCKMINER, Lightning Asics, etc. combined only account for, say 6 PH/s.
Source? Only an overly generous guess. BTCGarden managed to sell a lot, yeah. They had sold like almost a PH a month ago. let's assume they now sold 3. With all their 400 GH/s machines, ROCKMINER needs to sell like 4000 machines to achieve a single PH. Lightning Asic seems to be stagnating ever since. They even have a in-stock-counter that moves about 5 pcs/week. I doubt they sold more than 100 TH/s. Who else is there? XBTec used to be the big hope for AM. Well, they've gone silent, and only have lowered (as in 'it got worse') their consumption expectations. They really seemed to have done the trick in optimizing the BE200. I'm having a hard time reaching even those estimated 6 PH/s. And that would only account for 1/10 of those 60 PH/s  Hashratio and franchised mining seems to be the final straw. And I can't believe that FC is dictating the terms there Please show me calculations that support more chips have been sold to manufacturers! |

I wish to register a complaint... This is BFL, please stand in line like all the other 35000 dead parrots customers poor sobs do! |

It was a Dank and horny night; the porn fell in torrents - except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent guy of weed which swept down the streets (for it is in an elementary school that our penny-farthings lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the the.

Well during the week I mostly live with my girlfriend in her appartment since it's only 5 minutes of the hospital where i have my internship , so I need a pc I can move around Ah. Sorry if I missed this, but what will you do on the computer? Will it just be for casual browsing on the internet, or hardcore gaming, or what? If it's just casual browsing, you actually don't need that good of a computer. But like I said, the Toshiba IMO would be better because of its processing speed. Need a trustworthy laptop for my thesis (mine right now just shuts down itself randomly and gets overheated fast) in the first place, and also need multiple heavy programs to run properly and not crash, my €400 laptop didn't succeed at this so wanted to push the price of the next one a bit. I expect this one to do multiple (heavy) tasks without losing on me. Quadcore was a superior choice over dualcore for that reason (or at least it was in the point of view of this layman ) Make sure you get an SSD. You don't want anything but an SSD for a hard disk. Believe me, there's nothing better than having an SSD. It's not a lot faster, it's a whole universe faster.
Also, people I know had bad experiences with Toshiba. I'd stick with Lenovo if I were you!
Does SSD only improve the access speed of programs (so i mean solely the speed of starting up a program) or does it improve the speed of a program afterwards aswell Well, programs do need to access additional data form time to time so there's that. But the thing is, disks get fragmented over time, you can't do anything about that, not even defragment them will alleviate that completely. SSDs don't care, because they have no physical access time. They stay as fast as they ever were. And yeah, you can improve booting up your machine from 2-3 minutes to about 15 seconds. Definitely. They're the best. I had to pick between HDD and SSHD (SSD is too expensive for me at this point), doesn't SSHD have same issues with fragmentation (since all data is saved on HDD with this SSHD) ? Booting up time is no real issue for me, neither is gaining a few seconds when starting up a program. To me it's important programs work efficiently without having to max the CPU capabilities anymore. If HDD really starts to bother me I can always upgrade to SSD in the future when it'll be cheaper but am expecting to be fine with the HDD by now. Thanks for the additional info Like I said, SSDs fragment as well, but they don't care since they have no physical access time. What slows down an HDD? The read/write head has to wait until the desired place on the disk comes by. SSDs just access the data, nothing has to move! The hard disk is the bottleneck of practically all computers nowadays. It's the single thing that slows a machine down. Significantly. My SSD laptop just suffered a mainboard failure and I'm now stuck on a regular machine for the time being, and suddenly I notice how I start scream when something takes 10 seconds to open. Totally forgot about that crap. |

hashratio's farm with AM Tube  One of the proves or indicators (yeah, it's difficult to provide proof, but if everything's pointing in one direction, it's naive to believe the contrary) that AM indeed focuses on mining again. Hashratio have always been closely related to AM, very closely. I've seen enough people discuss FC's franchising offer, i.e. that people host the hardware for shares as collateral, to be sure he has to resort to such things. BTCGarden, ROCKMINER, Lightning Asics, etc. combined only account for, say 6 PH/s. Make it 10. The projections for selling all 60 PH/s gen 3 at $0.35 resulted in about 0.05 BTC/share. Not going to happen. Mabsark, show me the miners being sold that justify that quantity  |
