Yes. Do you still torture kittens for fun (like Satan)?

If you actually know this is going on it is free money for you, how is that annoying?

That doesn't seem right. Were almost all of your pots all in? I'll investigate and see if it's taking rake correctly. It should be 0 up to 40 in the pot, 1 up to 80, 2 up to 120, etc.

Inflammable doesn't mean non-combustable.

I'm sitting now.

Yeah, it's getting ridiculous. Should I start a thread in Bitcoin Discussion about how people should only get to start one thread and then get approved to start more based on it's quality? NO, I should put it in Meta ffs.

Private people borrow so much because it's so damn cheap, just like if blueberries were 90% subsidized we'd have a hell of a lot more blueberry juice. People calling themselves governments borrow so much because they aren't going to pay you back with actual value.

OP mentions people will lend with no interest in Bitcoin because they will be getting more valuable coins back. Wrong. Holding the coins yourself is much less risk then letting someone else use them and maybe pay back, the lending that does happen will be at interest.

That sucks. The cops are not going to help you.

Ruxum is awesome and even in private beta they already have .1% of exchange volume. Just gotta wait and see what deposit and withdraw options they'll add.

I don't get how this is about Bitcoin at all. One company that doesn't even use Bitcoins made a promise, now we wait and see if they keep it. It seems obvious that Dwolla would get scammed from time to time, their promise of not passing on the chargeback is what made them valuable.

I don't see why TH waited two weeks. Not because they have some obligation to tell us that they might be getting ripped off by Dwolla, but because I would stop accepting Dwolla the first time it happened if I didn't get a response from Dwolla. How can you go on bleeding money like that? I don't see how you can reliably stop it from happening, I'm under the impression that normal confirmed transactions are just being pulled back. How can you tell which to believe now?

It would be cool to modify the client to use 1 new change address when the amount sent is roughly half of what was in an address, 2 new addresses when it's roughly a third, etc. The change amounts should be random but roughly equal. This would make it really hard to guess any better than chance. Also putting a way to SendMany in the main client would let people obfuscate even more by making designer transactions.

Is this really going to be a problem? It seems obvious that Dwolla will end up eating this and not let it happen in the future. Otherwise Dwolla is pretty much done altogether. If Dwolla is done that will suck for a while.

The transaction might include some coins that were spent and some that were not making it difficult to get to the unspent ones. Plus accidentally sending bad coins is pretty annoying to sender and receiver.

Maybe I put this in the wrong place. Move to dev and tech discusion?

I almost spent some coins during a rescan without thinking. This obviously can cause problems, right? I had a spend that wasn't refound yet and it probably would have used some of the coins that were already spent. Should there be a warning now that rescan is automatic?

Thanks, will look into it.

Anyone want to meet on the Las Vegas strip?

Yeah, my point was that what people want to save is what has value, what they want to get rid of does not.

The ultimate equilibrium will depend on the value of productive uses of dirty paper that has already been printed on.

What happens when everyone wants to get rid of dollars and get and keep bitcoins?

Say to him "Geez, I guess if it were 100% guaranteed to rise in value it couldn't work." Maybe he'll get it. In case you don't, it's a completely self exploding argument.

If the increase in value is what makes it fail then it won't increase in value therefore that can't be the reason for the failure.

Anyway it should be obvious that people will still want stuff instead of saving it all until they are past dead no matter how good of a deal they are getting for saving. If I multiply your savings by 100 every day how much would you spend this week, month, year? Probably 0 right? I don't think so, you are going to buy more than ever in your life. If you keep spending even when you get near infinite annual return I don't think whatever amount Bitcoin appreciates is going to bring people's spending to a halt.

It can't differentiate change. Really there is no such thing as "change" you are just making a payment from 1 address to 2 addresses 1 of which you happen to control, maybe. Or maybe you used SendMany and paid two employees at once.
