Theft is a crime, an old one. The incompetency of the police does not make stealing bitcoins legal

I somehow agree with this thread. New technologies allow for new form of governments. Current governments are based on 60 year old technology, back then we didn't have internet, computer, smartphones, connections everywhere etcetc. But today we have them all. Using all these technologies would greatly help the population. Why elect a representant when today everyone can attend at anything via video? Why trust someone when today every citizen can express their opinion via internet?

This is nonsense. If for something i can buy a smartphone worth 500$, then what i used to pay is worth 500$. Isn't that what NameCoin does? I know it's mainly talked about as a p2p version of DNS No, Namecoin is like bitcoin but with added p2p and decentralized version of DNS

Legally there is no law protecting your asset Wtf? It is theft, no matter if it is bitcoin or not.

I will continue to petition them via my method of never buying their product.

b) pool operators only, not miners contributing hashes to them Even if they go after pool operators, we have p2pool wich is operated by no one!

Notepad, copy-paste the private key there, save and rename in .key and ta-dah you will be able to import it into Multibit. Probably in the future versions of Multibit you will be able to import keys directly via the program

An idea that might make a change is "negative interest". If you don't use your coins for for let's say a few weeks , you pay a "tax" for not using your coins and the system automatically reduces a certain amount of coins from your account. NO

Mining is for security. When someone make a transaction, that transaction is relayed to every node in the bitcoin network, wich takes only some seconds. But it is still an unconfirmed transaction. To become confirmed it must be put in a block by a miner. The blockchain is the backbone of the bitcoin system, it is where all transactions are recorded and it is how bitcoin make sure no one can counterfeit bitcoins or double spend them. Why? Because modifying the blockchain is almost impossible, due to how blocks are created. It takes a lot of computing power to find one wich follow the bitcoin rules, and that's what miners do, find blocks and put transactions into them, making the bitcoin network secure

What's the deal with all these Jr members who have registered a few weeks ago coming here to tell us why Bitcoin doesn't work or what Bitcoin needs to do? It is the Eternal September

The chain only contain transactions. Simply, the chain could only contain the last movements of the bitcoins. If i send bitcoins to address A and then to address B there is no need to keep in the chain the first transaction, it could be pruned and thus reduce the chain size Maybe one day it will be done.

You would have to verify it

Because the blockchain contain all the transactions happened, it is needed to know how many bitcoins an address has. If you keep only the last 1000 blocks, then this info would disappear
It is true that not EVERY transaction is required, probably in the future the chain will be pruned to contain only the current situation of the addresses and not every transaction

If price increase then it is due to the Gabi Bump

You are confused. Who make the transaction set the fee! The miner then include the transactions in the block. It is not people that use the block It is the miner that put transactions in the block and get the fees. So, who decide the fee? Who make the transaction
