There is already at least one thread about the decision to change the fee from 0.01 down to 0.005 (instead of leaving it to choice or using a different value or  using a different minimum amount as threshold to start charging fees)

Or at least was the last person to get one

73% to 97% male owned; though i expect the male/female ratio of users to be much more even; from what i've seen it seems males were the majority of early adopters, and those are the ones holding over 50% of the total bitcoins currently avaiable (i think?)

Over time i expect things gradually will even out all over; though probably will still be similar to the distribution of fiat money between males and females

Over the size limit? That doesn't sound right...the mandatory fee is for very small transactions ('cause they would clutter the network more than  be useful; so a fee is charged to avoid people spamming the network)

What makes you think it's fake?

I dunno if i should trust any of them...

I use Password Maker , i can easily remember the settings, there is no need to store anything anywhere

There is even a guy in the forum that owns a porn site focused on BTC, i think he goes by the site's name "BTCPorn" or somthing along that line.

Only if he was intending on selling while the price was low

Alright, assume the AI was given the goal of taking care of the humanity (in the parenting/pet sense, not in the criminal sense), and was programmed so it would try to reach it's goals.

I got a bit over 20, most of it for translating the Bitcoin article on Wikipedia to Portuguese, a smaller chunk i won in a free lottery (funny, i never won anything in lotteries i paid to play), around 1 from mining, and a few cents from random strangers (random as in unknown; for all i know they could have been standing in line) and one or two small non-anonymous donations; i think i've paid back everything i got from the Faucet, not 100% sure though.

Actually, over the ages, creatures that had the tendency to desire to live coded in their DNA were more successful at producing offspring, so having descended from them logicly you should also have a desire to live, assuming you're not a mutation or descendant of the rarer ones with a deathwish that somehow managed to live long enough to produce offspring anyway

It seems when people get convinced their decisions aren't really their own they feel less responsible for doing bad things and do them, while when people are convinced they are responsible for their decisions they are nicer to people (and to puppies etc). At least that is what the results of that experiment suggest.

I've seen some forums that don't have a limit for how many characters you can use or how big images can be in the sig, they instead automaticly add scrollbars when the sig is over N pixels or N percent of window size.


Btw, if possible, perhaps it would be nice to be able to "mute" individual sigs and avatars without stopping showing them all  nor completly ignoring users.

I heard about this experiment where they found out that when told there is no such thing as freewill people tend to act less like nice people....

You can ask that about anything

If we ever end up with an AI controlling the world, an intelligence that takes decisions based on logic and not emotions etc; are we safe from a situation like what happened on the I Robot movie (that one where Will Smith had an artificial arm) where the AI concludes that it needs to protect humans from ourselves and tries to impose a totalitarian dictatorship cutting into our liberties among other things?

1k points to the first instance of an address beginning with 1k in the blockchain, the first one is always only one, so there isn't others that can be confused.


Though, how would the system deal if two addresses sharing the same bunch of initial characters are seen for the first time in the same block? Are the order of addresses in blocks predictable, like they're sorted "alphabeticly" or somthing ?

Is there an estimative of how long this idea will remain useful for people that aren't memory savants?

I think it would be better if multiple variations of the transaction requests were allowed to coexist in the network, leaving the pruning to be done only when creating blocks (so for example if a philanthropic mining operation sees two variations they can choose to process the one with the cheaper transaction fee); but of course, any copies laying around after one has been included in the blockchain would be terminated on sight.
