I'm not sure why it's in gold.
If anything it should be in a techy color.

Hopefully they'll dump their USD reserves into bitcoins.

Hopefully people aren't stupid enough to use a closed source client.

Silk Road buyers should start accepting cash in the mail just to make their heads explode...
This. Bitcoins are basically cash anyway, the only risk is the cash being 'lost' in the mail. |

dont dream too long.
when I built my first rig 2 months ago I had a 8 BTC mining day with just 1000 mh/s
1000 mh/s mines between 1-2 BTC per day now.
and its only going to keep going up.
Wow! Now there is a hard dose of reality. Difficulty, a miners Achilles heel. Except, 1 BTC 2 months ago was ~4-5 dollars each. Now they are ~30. You make more or less the same dollar amount now as you did 2 months ago. Yeah, you're right. The gold rush is over. Might as well just sell your equipment while you still can. I'll buy it. dont dream too long.

You make more or less the same dollar amount now as you did 2 months ago. No no no, he totally made less money because now he gets less bitcoin!  Seriously though, this is basic economics. People for some reason get stuck on one number. |

1 Bitcoin is 1 Bitcoin is 1 BTC. That should never change, ever. That would just cause confusion and force webmasters to fix their sites. Simply making it an option to display uBTC works best (ideally with a small notification of how many uBTC you have, or BTC, depending on which your preferred unit is). Just moving the default unit from 1 BTC to 1 uBTC would work best, because it's easy to convert between the two, and there's no need to distinguish between 'old BTC' and 'new BTC'. EDIT: And the send dialogue could use something like this:  Except without the stuff that doesn't apply to BTC. And with another row below the "100 Million" with the same number in microbtc. That's a very expensive shuttle. |

Ethical Banks.
The original oxymoron.

I'm sure as soon as something materializes most of the pool operators will say no thanks. Is something stopping everyone who complains about deepbit from doing this on their own? Is there any government regulatory body preventing them? If they did this on their own and offered similiar or better features than deepbit, wouldn't miners move away from deepbit? That's the thing, it's a free market, anybody can go ahead and actually make this and start a pool that engages in this. Yes it may be hard to do, welcome to the real world. |

dude no offense to you but your totally missing the point.
no other pool is ANY WHERE NEAR as big as deep bit. But it's perfectly feasible for the other pools combined to have 51% of the hashing power (or more), and they could all be ran by the same entity in disguise. They don't need to be as big as deepbit. |

Excuse me for being new here, but I've been watching all of the threads complaining about deepbit getting too much of the hashing power.
Isn't that a little blatant? If there were evil intentions, wouldn't it be better for Tycho to make 3-4 different pools, run them on different servers and under different names, posting as different names here (or hiring surrogates to post for him), and having them all appear to be independant, so that people think that they are seperate, when they're not?
Wouldn't that be a more effective attack? Would you guys even see that kind of attack coming?
Perhaps you should all be worried about any bunch of pools getting more than 50% of the hashing power as well.
Maybe everyone should mine solo, just to be safe.
