Seriously unlucky if true.

Please share the correct and incorrect address.

You think they didn't have $200? What it's all been used to buy... what? If they have coins they can sell them on their own exchange instantly. Do you think they've used the million (?) dollars of fees and then millions more of customer money to improve the website?

If you are just realizing that this is a possible thing, okay, whatever. But not getting you your $200 means they are slow and incompetent not that they somehow spent all the money. I mean even if they were going to yank the money out from under us it wouldn't show up as a delay on random small amounts.

The security of a transaction after X time is already determined in a rough way by tx fee. It's pretty binary right now, but when there are lots of miners with different schedules your chance of getting in by any certain block will depend on fee.

In the far future a large fee could actually have -some- impact on the speed of the next block too.

So he can somehow buy $1M at below market rates? I think this is what he'll choose then and we've somehow established that huge demand pushes prices down.

Oh, my bad. I was sure that it was the others won't forward it. So a modified client can flood the network? Everyone will forward? Reference to a thread about the current state of this would be much appreciated.

You've got to be careful. The fee isn't 'imposed' to harm you. If you send without a fee when the current version wants it other nodes may consider your tx to be spam and not forward it.

.001 cent is pretty cheap to pay to prove you actually care about the tx getting processed. 

This doesn't seem right. The inflation would be lower faster with a shorter doubling period.

I think he just thought 4 years would be roughly the time to get the word out. I really wish it was either a smooth curve or more frequent small percent drops. I'm very excited about 210000, but I don't know if an 'exciting' event is what a new currency needs really.

You have 100BTC and are owed 100BTC. MtGox has 100BTC and owes 100BTC.

MtGox debt right now trades at face value, that's just incidental and hasn't always been the case.

what happens if you make top bid pay full, second pay half, third a third, etc?

If someone is doing nothing but traveling with dark windows and a cop feels he'd be putting life in danger (his) then he needs to let it go. Pulling a gun for having dark windows is major escalation. I don't think a cop has a right to take money from someone with dark windows any more than I have that right. But if they are really set on that style extortion then send a letter in the mail. You've got their plate number, name, address. This doesn't need to be done with a gun on the side of the road.

No one would do that. Everyone loves mall bitcoin guy.

Miners will want to hear about the tx, no? Seems not like a problem at all.

What does this mean?

If the split is resolved in less than 120 then the generator loses them. If longer than 120 then he might have spent them and the recipient loses them, but so what? The sender still owes however many coins, he's the one out coins if there is no ill intent exactly as if the split is healed earlier.

Maybe I don't get it.

I move a lot. I get short term places, often 1-3 months. As best I can remember in my whole life I've had electric bill in my name 3 times, no electric bill ~8 times, and electric added to rent once. This doesn't count extended stay type places that also don't charge extra based on electric consumption, in those I don't even know if they can meter by room.

In most places you aren't going to get away with $100 more than the owner was expecting though.

I think the long term equilibrium is low power consuming specialized hashing devices, but in the medium term zero cost to miner electricity is going to be providing a lot of the network power.

I completely disagree that an officer is justified in pulling a gun on you for having dark windshields.

That said I certainly would not shoot in that spot or encourage anyone else to.

All I'm saying ITT is that anyone saying "never" isn't thinking.

Yeah, I agree. 'Never' is self evidently wrong.


That's really convenient, no?

Why magic rules here? If we said "When should you shoot a plumber?" would you say, "Never, if he starts killing you with his plunger he's not a plumber anymore."?

'Profession' doesn't matter. Either you protect your self from dangerous humans or you don't.

Really? Do you have no imagination?

Cop and his partner break in your door. Cop kills your family then his partner. Explains how you are going to prison for the murders because the gun he used is unregistered and he's going to put your prints on it, not to mention testify that you did it.

But he's lowered his weapon and didn't expect you'd have one inside your jacket.

Never is bull.

Happy first birthday!

 

You can get more than $750 from an ATM somehow? Or is that like the monthly max of ATM fees?

Really I'm not going to be happy until there is a guy standing in the mall with pockets full of cash and a smart phone wearing a bitcoin shirt charging $2 for exchanges up to $1000.

Charge a random fee? Something between 1.5% and 2.5%? Even 1.95-2.05 would probably help.


Why would you do this? You move all funds to one address?

Of course that helps identify where the money comes from. Now you know it comes from some of your 1, 10, 100 customers. You'll never have so much traffic that that fact is useless.

Are you doing this because you are paying your own coins until you build up a new large stash of deposited coins? Like seed money that happened to be in one address? Seems you could have mixed that up some itself.
