so if us marshals are auctioning off btc do they consider  it currency?

kind of stupid of thier laws.

If it was currency, why would they be auctioning it off? 
"The first lot in today's auction is $5000.  Do I here $10?"

exactly... u cant auction of $... only coins and valuables that the going price is whateer the auction participants feel it is worth

agreed, infinite amount of computing power btc would not be your main obective... if you had that you could just mine them and i guess steal them if you wanted and get them all and they would then be worthless so you wasted all this imaginary computer power to turn gold into mud :-P

That is the beauty of bitcoin, if you have enough "power" to corrupt the system, then would you also destroy the system, making your scam-profit worthless. Satoshi mention this in the white paper when he explains the security of PoW.
The point here is that the "power" is something that you buy via buying equipment and when you attack the Bitcoin network you will be devaluing the value of your equipment that cannot do anything other then mine a SHA256 coin.

Exactly!




lol :-) gotta lovethe checks and balances built in to the btc world :-)

I made a graphic to refute mastercard's recent statements about bitcoin:

Details on Mastercard's Statement:

http://www.coindesk.com/mastercard-seeks-level-playing-field-bitcoin-regulation/

I think the graphic does a good job of refuting the statement and should help to correct some of misconceptions about bitcoin.

Use, modify, distribute as you will. Thanks!

Using the new one to show folkks now i like it alot :-)

Where is the user, with this nice little picture about what amount of energy you would need for that ?

"Someone summoned me"

Are you thinking of this one?

Yay Smiley
I love this picture, I should bookmark it ^^

Yes, it really but things in perspective.
Also help illustrate how big of a number 2^256 is, most people have an idea that it is big, but not how big it really is.

As a side note: the number space of bitcoin private keys are "only" 2^160, since capital "O", the capital "I" and the lowercase "l", as well as the number "0" is excluded.

But 2^160 is till a very very very very very large number.

It's almost impossible , you can't live "for ever". This is a great image that explain you better :



Thanks to @TookDk.

Hi!!!

nice to read this!!!

this is my first post and i'm really curious to know from you where do you get this article?

I've heard it explained to me before that the number of possible bitcoin addresses is equal to "if all of the grains of sand on earth were annoter earth then all the gfrains of sands on all those earths... that is alot to sift through

Use BTC as your savings and dont htink about it just accept payments from your business and let it build then you will not have to worry about buying anyway, i know product cost money to produce so cashouts will be needed and you can usually find someone ready to buy maybe even a little over market value

320  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Decimal Places in Bitcoin? on: November 29, 2014, 10:19:13 PM
I was reading this article here: http://insidebitcoins.com/news/bitcoin-foundation-seeks-standardization-of-the-bitcoin-experience/25414

They had this to say about the standardization for existing financial software:

Quote
Finally, the group hopes to develop ways to offer less confusion for the number of decimal places that are currently allowed in Bitcoin. For the average currency, a user only thinks about two decimal places. $1.52 is one dollar and fifty-two cents. But in Bitcoin, there are eight possible decimal places. Therefore, someone could note a value all the way out to 0.00000001 Bitcoin. That’s one hundred-millionth. For the average person, that is likely to be very confusing. And it’s a nightmare for accountants and financial software.

I was wondering if anyone could please help me understand how decimal places are handled in the Bitcoin source code, with regard to the length of the decimal place?

As far as the article goes .. would a solution be to just chop off anything below 100k satoshi, or would the total coin supply just be changed to 22,000,000,000,000.00 Bitcoins?

I tried reading through the wiki, and I can't really find a good description as to how that's handled.

Is there already a thread talking about this? Sorry if there is, please just point me to the link if you have it Smiley

I have gotten use to 1 satashi and the decimal place it takes up... i know that 100ksatashi is a mBTC and it is just eassy for me to keep up with the places as is already
