How does this work? Is there any authority?

If I want to create a new coin should I have .com, .org. and/or .net domain to make it less comfortable for others to use the same name?

I doubt I can register an official trademark for a new coin yet.

I guess that was on me

Well I might be one and I have nothing against you but I have spent a lot of time on a variety of forums and I´m just a little bit sensitive about people throwing dirt on someone else there.

It might be not your case and I understand you beeing upset if BTc-e dont give a shit about your problem, but sometimes it is good to question the genuineness of posts that accuse others, thats all

yeah kind of the same impression about bitstamp, which is quite amazing that the majority of BTC exchange activities is beeing done but these "dudes"

 

will do

wow...

but how can we tell this is genuine??

BTC - 60 % (you know why )
XRP - 20 % ( the next thing - I know "pre-mined" but still completely different approach)
PPC - 20 % (POW and POS hybrid, different from BTC)

with these you pretty much cover the three major approaches

though very optimistic, this could be the real life scenario



everybody should..... ? Come on, the system must be robust enough to deal with all the variety of people joining in. And even though the community of BTC miners prooved to be self-regulatory (Ghash issue) still I'm afraid  that somewhere in the shade "evil" forces are getting ready for an assult to test the overall integrity of the whole crypto-revolution

why do people grumble about hashers??

Bitcoin must prove that it is able to deal with this and many other "problems" to come if it aspires for a sustainable currency.

Ok, they dont care about BTC or other altcoins and what?
I buy oil futures for speculation and I dont care about oil, am I evil??

The hashers just contribute to a crypto economy by creating a demmand for hardware, sending coins to exchanges etc. They are a vital part of the whole picture.

ok, for children now: (solo mining)

1. you choose your BTC transactions to include in the block you mine
2. you add a hash of the last block you want to merged mine (namecoin, devcoin etc)
3. you add the "zero transaction" (for your reward if mined) of BTC, or also Namecoin and Devcoin?
4. create that merkle tree hash from 1,2,3
5. you add all the rest BTC data, hash it to the final input for mining
6. you start mining the BTC as you are used to
7. you find a hash that matches the difficulty of Namecoin - you claim your coins and continue
8. you find a hash that matches the difficulty of Bitcoin - you claim it and go on

something like that?

ok, so when i read Litecoin is a fork of Bitcoin, it does not mean, that it started as a orphan block out ot BTC chain?

it is a different meaning for "fork"?

is there any good summary (list) of forks (altcoins) and the fast comparison of how much they derive from the BTC blockchain for easy orientation?

https://blockchain.info/charts/hash-rate

is this crazy hash rate surge an answer to the latest security issue(Ghash), or new chineese ship of ASICs has been unloaded on the shores of California?

or both?

1. different altchain - like chain of another currency?

2. And if you do so, what does prevent the bad guys from doing the same?

what if it is happening right now for some?

The difficulty is spinnig out of control, so you either keep buying hardware or play lottery.

To mine just for sake of maintaing the network does not have to be necessarily bad thing.
It just means that you have a lot of believers who are ready to defend the idea itself.

The price will collapse in only few scenarios like:

51 %, sha cracked, US, EU bann etc. ..

but still you are creating a blokchain, so when you solve one coin how does that add a new block made of transactions of the other coins, you did not solve??

the real danger, I beleive, is the potential flactuation of miners.

There are tons of alternatives to mine now (and surely many to come) and people might simply switch to mining other currencies for profit and hence endanger the security of BTC....

so it might be one of the few issues Satoshi didn´t foresee, or he(whatever he is) just simply owns (invested into) the butterfly labs ??

Is anybody here succesfully merged mining solo sha256 coins  (or scrypt, or any other?)

I tried http://mmpool.bitparking.com/register and assume that those coins listed there could be merged mined solo too.

What miner to use, what´s the configuration?

hope UR right, similarly, the "chinese bitcoin ban" others see as a chinese careful yes to BTC

in direct oposition to the panic exchange price drop

well I sort of didnt expect that

but nicelly put, many interesting points....
