I agree. I don't want it to catch on either. Seems just like it adds negativity to bitcoin and something we don't need or want to see.

 USA (and other countries) have a powerful army they use to back fiat.

you alerted it for what?   what does have the hosting with the service of one of its clients? pfff

Hey. I am developing a new altcoin, but for some reason I am unable to connect to a node so the client won't sync. I am using amazon ec2 instance with an associated elastic ip as my node, but when I try to connect to it after downloading and connecting to the server my client still won't sync. Does anybody know how I can set up this node properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and maybe it will result in a donation
Thank you for reading this post

Thank Goodness the animals know the difference. 

 There is a huge difference between people and animals.

He said can, not must.

It is called survival of the fittest. That is what our world revolves around.

Our governments have more guns, that is how they are able to tell us what to do and jail us if they want to jail us or kill us if they want to kill us.

Humans have more power than animals. That is why we can kill them and eat them.

If you are outraged about this, are you equally outraged about our governments being able to steal money from us and kidnap us?

If animals had more power than humans, then things would be different.

We live in an anarchist world, if you want to protect animals, protect them with guns from the other humans (or convince those with the most guns, ie the government, to protect the animals from humans).

I think the most important thing we all need to think about here is that chicken just tastes good *to me*. If prepared well, it is just downright tasty *to me*.

If not for the fact that meat tastes really good *to me* and I do not like most vegetables, I would also be a vegetarian. But this fact remains, so it is so.

When this new project was announced the Government banned all the digital currencies other than U.S. dollars,
so no one is using BTC or other cryptos (at least publicly and very little privately in my experience).

The digital $ will be used in about one month so nobody is using it yet. I'll post an update when it's publicly available.

#1

You believe that inelasticity is a problem only because you believe that central bank control of the money supply is a benefit. However, to many people, the central bank is the problem that Bitcoin is trying to eliminate. The idea that an organization can have enough knowledge of the economy in order to control it is preposterous. The central bank only adds another element of instability.

#2

The difficulty self-adjusts to maintain an inflation rate that eventually goes to 0. The idea that "[when] miners halt their progress, [it] will create more inflation because they can mine more BTC now" is simply wrong.

#3

There is too much speculation and too many unsubstantiated conclusions to comment on. Plus, it depends on #2, which has been shown to be incorrect.

I was just reading somewhere that over 70% of BTC in circulation are owned by just about 1.29% of the BTC wallets. This accounts for over 41% of BTC that will ever be created. In contrast the top 1% fiat wallets in the US had about 30% of the nation's currency backed assets.

If this is true (I request our meticulous economists to vet it http://www.dioxidized.com/2014/10/10/bitcoins-wealth-concentration-creates-significant-hurdles-for-those-who-might-consider-adopting-it/ ), how can we expect BTC to become anywhere close to mainstream currency ? I guess BTC distribution among wallets will need to become far more even before any level of mass adoption can begin.

He would definitely love what's going on in the crypto-currency scene.  He was an advocate of the "privatization" of money.  Watch this documentary...

It's a must for bitcoiners and altcoiners alike.

this needed to happen, let these morons spend a few years returning greece to the stone age, let the people become even more impoverished and desperate, golden dawn is waiting in the wings

I will stop believing that it was a conspiracy, when the following facts are explained:
- How 3 buildings fell into their own footprint, when such kind a demolition is a demanding process, any mistake will cause the buildings to topple?
- How could all 3 buildings fall down at free-fall speed, when the accumulating rubble below should have been slowing down a natural collapse.
- How a fire that was burning sub-steel-melting-point for some 40 minutes made the building collapse, when similar fires, raging for hours in other steel building (with lower grade steel than the one used in WTC) didn't?
- How come steel and rock were melted at ground zero for weeks?
- How come there were no airplane fragments at the Pentagon site, and no extensive fire damage? The official argument for Pentagon case was: airplane fuel is not hot enough. Shouldn't they have come to at least a consistent explanation?
- How could a pilot who could barely control a Cessna, make a descending turn, zeroing in onto Pentagon?
- Where is the gold from WTC7?
- What about the acoustic analysis of explosions coming shortly before the towers were pulled down?

There are many more. There are also some quite obvious false leads among the conspiracy facts discussions, possibly having been planted later to discredit _any_ discussion around the topic.

I see there have been several rumors and misinformation regarding this digital currency in Ecuador.
As an Ecuadorian, I thought it'd be useful to post some facts:

Ecuador's currency is the US dollar since the year 2000 and that won't change at the moment.

A project to create a new  digital or even crypto currency does not exist.

What will happen in about one month or so is that people in Ecuador (myself included) will be able to create accounts in the Central Bank of Ecuador from our mobile phones.

We'll be able to make payments (i.e. transfers to another account) using our mobile phones only; we'll be able to make deposits on hundreds (thousands?) of points; and we'll be able to withdraw money from the same points, plus all the existing ATMs. Everybody will be able to send and receive payments this way, so we won't need to carry cash anymore.

What's new here is that these accounts are accessible from the mobile phone only, and no Internet connection or smartphone will be required (everything will be via USSD). The idea is to allow everybody to hold an account, even the poorest ones.

Also, because almost all Ecuadorians will have an account in the Central Bank of Ecuador, the Government will be able to use the money held in that Central Bank, effectively issuing virtual money (which is a common practice of all the banks in the world, nothing new here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg_1iXbIjFQ).

This digital currency will still be US dollars. There is no new currency involved.
