Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WARNING! Bitcoin will soon block small transaction outputs

So I'm not the only one who doesn't want to store thousands of tiny fractions, that are basically unspendable (or at least very expensive to spend) for other people.
It's easy to change online services to make them compatible with this and it can be changed back to a lower limit, if it's reasonable.
Do you guys always pay with $/€/... 0.01 coins?
Scalability & making it less expensive (in terms of storage) to run a full node is more important right now. Well done, Mr. Andresen.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A wide gap that cannot be bridged will likely bring down Bitcoins

Miners will make money in the future from transactions. Transactions only happen if bitcoin is a success. So miners have absolutely no interest in bringing down the bitcoin economy. In fact, since they hold so many bitcoins, they have a vested interest in seeing each bitcoin being as worth as much as humanly possible.
Indeed, and they could make even more BTC, if more transactions are happening via tx fees. |

Avoid the exchanges if you can. Do a trade on the forums / #bitcoin-otc / localbitcoins. The exchanges provide central points of failure (Bad with a capital B) and have fees that you won't need to pay if you trade at spot off-exchange.
Best suggestion so far. Make sure to check the reputation of the person you're trading with - some users are impersonating reliable members.... |

What do you think about that developments?
The problem is: 1.We have very unclear laws in Austria - not just about 'terrorism'. 2.There is the so called 'Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz und Terrorismusbekämpfung' for counter-terrorism, but we don't really have actual terrorist attacks* here, so they're probably trying to find some innocent people to avoid losing their jobs.  *Austria has a very low homicide rate, AFAIR it was one of the lowest in the EU. |

The world would probably be a better place, if more people tried to learn from the positive and negative aspects of economic and sociopolitical ideas rather than wasting their time complaining about them.

In other words, my "exit point" would be if I were not able to spend or exchange it easily - however, if this ever happens, it won't make sense to spend time "exiting" - just keep the coins as a suovenir.
Same for me. Just like I would keep precious metals in case of a collapse (like to literally 0.00 per troy ounce) |

So, an idea for any new exchanges looking for business? Offer free bitcoin deposits, free USD/Bitcoin trades and free USD withdrawals for any existing MtGox customers who sign up in the next 2 weeks, or alternatively for a 2 week period.
How do you expect a new exchange to pay for lawyers without trading fees? This could only work with a massive amount of money (>100 million USD) - I'm pretty sure that nobody who is on bitcointalk owns that much. If I wanted to start a currency exchange I wouldn't start it in the U.S. (and not with USD). |

PPC should be based on how much the advertiser paid for the click. This means it will (or at least should) fluctuate a lot from day to day, much like it does with AdSense.
It's a bit better now, but I think targeting could be improved. Maybe by allowing users to add keywords as advertisers and match them with publisher keywords. |

OP: Phinnaeus Gage did not keep this promise, but he would've been scammer tagged a long time ago, if he was here to steal money. You didn't lose money, what are you even doing here? The internet police doesn't handle cases like this one |
