I would like Bitcoin to start over new, but solely because I wish I was an earlier adopter. I wish I could by bitcoins for three cents each or so... But overally, I believe Satoshi did a good job and so far, it's been working great.
If people all want to do that they can, but it's not a group I'd want to join since they'll probably do it again after spending up their easy coins.

If you won't take my bitcoins you need to make it clear before you offer to take them for good or services or you are the thief. A full list of coins that you won't take needs to be sitting next to the request for payment at the very least imo. Probably you should say that you only accept a Special Subset of Bitcoin Called <whatever you call it> and not Bitcoin.

LOL I think in terms of Satoshi (pronounced sa-toh-shee) I hope some time in the future 1 Satoshi will have the same value as $1US That's very optimistic, but if it does, half of this forum will become billionaires. Also OP could buy 1 or 10btc and continue his reading. Nothing will happen today nor tomorrow for bitcoin to die. I bet half of this forum doesn't even have 1 coin let alone the ability to hold it for decades as people are offering thousands and then millions of dollars for it.

the tourney leaderboard is not updated correctly. it is often delayed, has the wrong dates listed, and has wrong info in the current big BTC recap.
i would update that info for FREE on Monday (after Monday PLO), Wednesday (after DD), Saturday and Sunday (after big BTC).
seriously i'll do that for free if u want. PM if interested.
Sorry about that, I'll make sure it gets done right and timely.

New secret freeroll. It'll show up 6 blocks before the difficulty change and start with the new difficulty. The prize is 2016 chips, that's just over 2BTC. It was -really- a secret last time and only got 4 players.
What are you doing for reward halving block? It's gunna be big, look for announcement in about 2 weeks.

I want to invest but wonder if its too late...wish I would have heard about these earlier on. Just wondering what would happen when the difficulty increases and the payment halves for miners. And what if miners all go on strike or stop mining due to electrical cost and decreased pay.
Just buy bitdimes instead, they are only ~$1.20 now, very affordable.

A first world government could launch a 51% attack on Bitcoin, but it would be quite pointless. The blockchain would just be reset back to before the attack happened and a patched client that rendered the 51% attack useless would be released.
This is wrong. A 'Bitcoin' that follows something besides the majority of the hashing power is not Bitcoin.

Can it be that you can't register if you have a non US IP?
I don't have a register button, too.
My IP is non US but Erik's is not so that's not it. Maybe they closed registrations?! EDIT: yeah looks like registrations are closed: http://www.dailypaul.com/user/registerEDIT2: Imagine this: The lowest price membership is $5 a month Theres no more free ones Looks like it'll cost you 5bucks if you want to comment.. EDIT3: now it appears even that isn't working properly atm lame. Who would want to be so much smaller for $5? Is that the good doctor's own site? I'd hope not.

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?
I think I know! the dice are an animation, constantly changing, white dots on white and you can't see them unless you drag them, which pauses them, on to the different color background. Very clever!

No one can ever 'push a false transaction' regardless of power, we all can and do instantly recognize and dismiss that. What a 50%+ attacker could do is undo some of their spends and re-spend them. Or they could refuse to put transactions in their blocks. Anyone can refuse to put any tx in their block, but it only matters much if someone is able to make all the blocks. 50%+ means you can make all the blocks because you can build your own longer chain.
The only 'defense' imo is to find automated ways to watch for hokey stuff like a fork from previous block and stop automated bitcoin systems (or maybe all) until you know wth is going on.

Network size is not determined by the number of units. If it was we could have been ten times bigger now for the cost of one extra "0"!

Bottom line: If someone does not accept bitcoins then presume them to be an especially dangerous camouflaged rattlesnake no matter what their rhetoric.
I would say they aren't well camouflaged at all and presuming that the basics have been explained to them they are already revealed (at the very least as economically incompetent).

So, in summary, if you think the US military is going to win and dominate the world, keep US Dollars.
That's just nuts. The US could dominate the entire galaxy and they wouldn't ever let the value of the dollar increase more than a slight amount for a short time. Hoarding dollars is value-fatalism, you'd have to completely give up on being able to find value anywhere in the world.

Ads this early are probably counter productive. They must not pay hardly anything now and might slow your growth. Also you ought be able to get more from bitcoin advertisers since you have such a targeted demographic.
