Overtax videocards that are fast with the integer ops Bitcoin uses?

What if they did somthing that would be more targeted at miners, somthing like adding an extra charge if your electricity bill jumps up and down often (miners starting and stopping their rigs when the difficulty changes)
|
|
|
|
|
Could the governament play with the electricity costs to indirectly alter the price of bitcoins so the BTC economy gets so unpredictable people start shying away from it?

I kinda like the idea of dropping the S in plural, makes it sound more japanese, "I'm being stalked by a group of ninja!", "Gotta catcha all the pokemon!" "I got 100 bitcoin!" (i wish)

And as a matter of fact, if someone sends money to a currently unowned address and then you have the hugeonastic luck (i think, it is somthing like less than once in the estimated whole lifetime of the universe) of creating a random new address that matches the address that person sent money to, you will be the proud owner of the once lost amount.

If it was somthing based on challenge/response like SIM cards, the risk of cloning would be significantly reduced (AFAIK SIM cards can only be cloned if the attacker has physical access to the card itself; just by sniffing at the communication between the device holding the simcard (with bitcard the card itself would be the device, the thing the attacker would need to have access to would be sealed inside the plastic of the card) and the operator isn't enough for cloning)

Wait, so when the reward reaches zero it will be infinitly easy to crack a new valid block?

Well, it still kinda works if you place one speaker against each ear, but the effect is severelly diminished when one ear can hear sounds meant for the other ear.

People seem to trust the operator, so the risk seems smaller. There was/is some discussion about this on the official Deepbit thread (the one you arive at when you click the "Forum" link on their site); the operator himself seems to be working on finding a solution for this concern.

Wouldn't this approach pay way less than regular pools since on top of regular fees this pool will also pay out to the renter?
|
|
|
|
|
What about a pool that pays proportionally to the time contributed, ignoring computing power?
|
|
|
|
|
If people wanna throw money away for a small chance of profit, why stop them?
|
|
|
|
|
I would expect there would be some sort of measure to try to make sure each person has only one account in the pool
|
|
|
|
|
Are there any pools that divide the earnings evenlly among all participants regardless of amount of computing power contributed?

Actually we could create a "Western Union" ourselves, doing e-transfers by BTC and local by cash.
Eg:
A is in US and needs to send 1000 US to B that is in China
A contacts C who deals with BTC - OR - A himself has a 1000USD worth of BTC
A/C sends the BTC to the Chinese local operator who delivers the money to B.
Alternative paths would include:
A buying 1000USD worth of BTC from C and send them to the Chinese operator
A sending BTC to B who cashes them out with the Chinese operator
This would need just a bit of organization to put forth, along with ways to contact the needed operators.
If we had local exchangers everywhere we wouldn't be having this discussion to start with |
