What's the expected hash rate for a r9 290 with keccak?

Really? That's half as opposed to scrypt.

400 Mh/s!

LOL but no.
Fractional reserve, money creation, credits etc. are actually needed to move forward.

Good thing then that Bitcoin already has moved forward with the fractional banking that MtGox did?

Well, I forgot to add that fractional banking with bitcoins would be stupid, similar to gold ponzi schemes that are around, where you can "buy" gold at heavily discounted price only to find out that you don't own any gold at all, only some "shares" or something like that. Bitcoin was creates to prevent this.

Why is more money needed? Real wealth is the houses, machines, foods, services and other goods that we produce. If more money solves anything, why not just add an extra zero to all the bank accounts every year and we'd soon all be trillionaires?

Money makes money = money creates houses, machines etc.
Banks without ability to create money would mean no credits to create/ buy such goods.
Loans in fractional banking are like bets that people will pay them back - bets made with virtual money. If only real money would be used, it would mean that someone instead of investing it into e.g. new machines for factory would have to invest into bank itself by making a long term deposit.

As for adding an extra zero to all bank accounts it's basically what happend during last century by introducing concepts like minimum wage, health insurance, social security etc.

1. Perspective of big profit

2. Stable price

Please note that these two points contradicts each other  Tongue

I remember when PayPal was just a baby and no one would trust them with their fiat.

Today many people use paypal because it's convienent, not because it's trustworthy.

LOL but no.
Fractional reserve, money creation, credits etc. are actually needed to move forward. You could argue that there is no need to move forward THAT much - and it may be true, but in capitalism/ democracy there is no one to control that.
I actually read a discussion stating that if bitcoin gets more popular they may appear bitcoins banks operating with fractional reserve etc (there is another question who would accept that "money").
Of course everything should be used in moderation.

PS In 1930 gold was pretty popular...

I don't really understand Potential of Work.
Even if it's done right, what's stopping someone from creating similar currencies with the same Potential of Work mechanism???
Then you could just run 10 different PToW clients on your PC earning 100% PToW * 10?
This would surely lead to hyper-inflation...
814  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to steal Satoshi's stash? on: March 10, 2014, 03:36:43 PM

Also, would mining pools be able to push to their clients a script to find those public and private keys? These pools have nowadays an enormous calculation power.

They could just fork Bitcoin code and add a rule that coins not moved for XX days/months/years are taken and put back to the pool of minable coins - I've seen some alt-coin proposing this.

Just wanna know what happened to all those theories about satoshi nakamoto  is not a person, it is a team of developers. I don't know how credible the article is .

Maybe it was a team lead by Satoshi N?

If he really is creator of Bitcoin... it means he wanted to be found.
820  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If that really is Satoshi, how can we help him? on: March 06, 2014, 04:15:57 PM
I hope that Newseek gave him enough time to hide somewhere...
His whole family would need protection.
