In many forums i've seen instead of restricting access to newbies, they let them reply as usual, but creating new threads is only allowed after a given number of posts. Why is keeping them into a little pit till they "grow up" is better than just restricting new thread creation? (I'm not saying i think it's worse, i'm just curious about the thought process behind the decision)

I donno... we might be able to create a unit of ... I won't say value, maybe worth would be a better word, defined as the chemicals required to keep one human alive for 1 day. This would be constant, at so many pounds of O2, so many mL of Water, and various amounts of macro and micro nutrients.
As previously stated, though, once we had this constant, everything else would then shift in relation to it.
Sounds too anthropocentric for my taste. And besides, would expect the physical requirements for keeping one alive would vary significantly from individual to individual, and external factors such as average daily temperature, amount of daily sunlight, oxygen percentage in the air etc would also shift those values around quite a bit... |

I guess it might be possible to create a unit of absolute value. But the price of everything in relation to it would always be shifting.
LOL, good point |

Some people would pay to have bugs moved as far as possible form them, while others consider bugs a nutritious meal, some people pay lots for fancy dishes, others vomit just thinking of eating such things; some people refuse to eat most types of food, including going hungry if that's the only choice; some people will eat anything that is at hand, but not lift a finger to go after food that is not avaiable. And besides personal taste and culture, value of things like food is severely influenced by supply and demand; a grape in the middle of the desert is worth way more than one in the middle of a banquet.

If you don't wanna risk people making copies of your keys, don't let anyone see them.
If someone managed to clone my house keys i would be upset at myself for being careless (would only get upset at them if they use those copies without my authorization; but there would be a bit of conflict between emotion and reason within me, i would want punish them, but my rational side would try to insist i shouldn't be mad at them 'cause i gave them permission by giving them the keys)

Khash/s is kilohashes per second, thousand hashes per second.
Hash is the complicated math puzzle thingy, when you make a hash you take one or more inputs, then you do some math with the data and the result is a number that changes quite a bit even if you change just a very small thing in the input (among other things people use hashing to check if downloads didn't got corrupted, if the number you get after processing the downloaded file doesn't match the number the site says that file should produce if hashed then somthing went bad with the download and the file on your disk doesn't match what you should have). When you mine, one input is the current state of the blockchain, the other input is a number (that number is called the "salt"), to mine a new block, you need to try lots of different salts until you stumble on one that will make the number that comes out of the hashing process match certain requirements; but because the hashing process is one way (you can't start with the result and calculate the inputs, kinda like addition, 8 can be 1 + 7 or 2 + 6 or 3 + 5 etc, but of course, hashing's way more complicated than that) you need to try a lot different salts till you stumble on one that produces a good result.
GPUs are better than CPUs 'cause GPUs are better at doing lots of the same math over and over again, so you can try lots of different salts faster (and ATI/AMD GPUs are better than NVIDIA GPUs 'cause they're better at the type of math used for the type of hash Bitcoin uses)

What happens if two clients try to write to the same wallet file simultaneously (or one after the other without either being closed) ?

What about the Faucet? Do a search on the forum |

For some people it would, others would see things for what they really are and just act normally

Copying someone's wallet file without their authorization is like taking a photography of someone's house keys (or keys to whatever), printing it to scale (with perspective corrected) and using the print as template for grinding your own copies of the key.

If someone sets up a service, could they use a single stream of random new addresses and test for matches for all currently open requests instead of wasting time throwing away addresses that could match one of the many requests filed?

IMO this is just a little dip, people got scared it was growing too fast and got afraid it couldn't hold so they started selling en masse, kinda a self-fulfilling prophecy. I wouldn't be surprised at all if by the end of the next month we're above the last peak.
