Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar !

All infidels will go to hell

Very nice graphs! And they clearly show that ALL pools on average are unlucky!
Either pool owners or block hiders screw the small miner.

And to mine for 100 days and get your block orphaned/rejected would really really suck

how far do you plan to launch that your blockchain? As TCP packets will have to travel like ~10 minutes to reach the Mars orbit, the confirmation rates would suffer ...

Wait isn't that why Satoshi made it 10 minutes in the first place? I always suspected him to be a Martian!

All bitcon users together make like 10000 payments a day, and i think at least half of these are transfers from mining pools to miners.

PS. bitcon is a mistype. wait what dr freud said about mistypes?

well, you received the card

you knew it was used for mining "since November 2010"

you knew the price is suspiciously cheap

you weighted your risks, you lost, nothing to whine about

unfortunately bitcoin is not designed for microtransactions, this would completely choke the bitcoin network

tonal numbers ... deep space ... bitcoin buys some good shit!

bitcoiner's attitude to ixcoin is similar to normal people's attitude to bitcoin )

but mining ixcoin is still more profitable than mining bitcoin - exchange price 0.0060 is higher than difficulty price = 16384/1890000*50/96 = 0.0045

At least this guy is better manager than Satoshi  . I like the idea of allocating large initial chunk of coins to develop the product.

With SMPPS or any other "delayed return" system, if pool is lucky, owner has a surplus.

If pool is unlucky, the most reasonable strategy for any miner is to stop mining for that pool and go mine for another pool which is currently lucky. So, assuming all players are reasonable, pool will die. Pool owner will never have to refund any money.

So mathematical expectation (average over an infinite ensemble of all possible pools) of pool's surplus grows as ~sqrt(time).

Confirm terrible mtgox performance ... typical page load time is 20-30 seconds, up to 2-3 minutes at active times

Come on, that site can run off $10/month VPS, can't they afford $10?

The fact that there are 300 million Americans who use dollars for their day-to-day transactions creates a floor for the value of dollars.

soon we learn where that floor really is

that downornot is bullshit. It just said me MICROSOFT IS DOWN,lol.

But if I pay cash in real world, I expect the seller to hand me goods right away - my left hand gives him cash and my right hand takes goods from him.
If he refuses to hand me the goods, I can beat him up at the spot. Technology of inflicting severe physical damage over the internet does not (yet) exist, therefore cash can't be used online.

Bitcoin is still at proof of concept stage. You can't really expect much of they guys who are working for free without supervision. I mean, someone should come up with $100m to develop the proper infrastructure. Mr. Soros, there is an opportunity for you to rewrite financial history before you depart )

Chrome is NOT open-source. Parts of it are open source. Obviously Google won't make public it's Trojan capabilities.

Android is NOT open-source. It's 100% proprietary and also has extensive spying built-in.

Bitcoiners are supposed to be privacy-conscious, so should stay away from anything from the evil empire.
