i don't get it how people voluntarily share their personal info/habits with a private company solely concentrated on profit maximization while ranting on observation policies by authorities.
to have sex?  Doubt that actually helps. If you wanna have sex, go to those adult online dating websites who, actually, collect even more private data.  |

The idea is interesting but not really practical. You'd still be using more power than running a router without it. Also, low power ASICs are no longer profitable. Making a router with the ability to connect an ASIC miner - that would be useful. It would replace running a desktop computer or other similar device such as Raspberry PI.
This already exists in essence. You can plug an Avalon directly into your router and mine though it has an internal router that acts like a controller. Also, psheppard made an implementation of cgminer that installed directly onto a router that allowed direct gpu mining. I don't know whether he's made an asic implementation of that. It would be better that the complete package: the hardware, the software and the configuration, would be set up in a partially consumer friendly way, instead of googling absolutely everything and still understanding nothing. |

The pools only want their fees, no body cares about 51% attack..
Yeah. Crashing the coin they're sitting on, profiting on and sometimes even living on would be pretty stupid. They get more from mining rather than cracking down the system. If they did, people would just go to another pool or even better - the before mentioned p2pool. |

I don't really think Bitcoin will enter mainstream any time soon. People are usually afraid of unknown things, especially the ones that are hard to understand. Bitcoin is based on cryptography, which isn't something you can easily explain to your grandma. Computer science is still a mystery to many people and most of us, who are in Bitcoin, are the ones who actually understand at least the core principles of crypto-currency.
The anonymity might scare some people away as well: they might think it's shady or illegal. And let's not forget the current events: constant hacking, stealing of BTC, scams all around and NSA trying to pull Bitcoin into a controllable space. After all that, some people will just decide not to bother and stick to banks and cash.

I'll celebrate when BTC hits 50000 USD.  Dream big guys! Yeah, just not all dreams come true however. Or do they? No, they don't. If they did, I would be swimming in money in one of my 1000 villas around the world  . |

No More Room in Hell is awesome!
Played it during the Beta(before it reached on Steam, but was already Greenlit) and yes, pretty nice game. Now the devs should focus for now only on adding content, most part of the game is already pretty concrete and non-buggy. I too played. Some time before release on Steam. The first few months the game was buzzing with players. After I stopped playing and decided to come back, I found only a few servers and every of them were empty. Still, a fun game, with realistic amounts of ammo and old school slow zombies. |

Hopefully it will hit 420, and at the same time Litecoin will hit 42.0 and at the same time Peercoin will hit 4.20 and I will blaze higher than moonguy could ever jump.
 Only $42 away from from $420 now, it is getting very close. I hope you have prepared well for the celebration! Don't look at Mt. Gox. They have a higher price due to withdrawal issues. Bitstamp is a more trustworthy source. |

Yesterday I sent 0,1 to Satoshi Dice but it was set to no-fee on blockchain.info (I'm new, had no idea it would be THIS BAD).
I played on Satoshi Dice with it for a bit and made 1BTC from it. I got really excited, wanted to withdraw and saw the initial 0,1 is still unconfirmed. It's been 24 hours.
I don't really understand that, does Satoshi dice allow playing&withdrawing with unconfirmed Bitcoins? That would be so easy to abuse. Allows playing, doesn't allow withdrawing. But if you lose, you just double spend your transaction before it's confirmed. That can be worrying as it might break the whole balance of casino. |

Just wait, there is still hope. Here is your current estimated confirmation time 13 hours. I had a transaction yesterday which was sent without a fee, and it had an estimated time of 28 hours. I checked it today and it was confirmed  It's been 24 hours and that estimated time keeps changing. It's now up to 15h. It really depends on whether a generous miner will decide to include your transaction in a block. So the estimated time is really, REALLY estimate. How could I do such if I wanted to? Well, mine and generate a block including all transactions. Solo, I mean. |

Total time logged in: 44 days, 10 hours and 51 minutes.
Aaaand my winning position is gone... obliterated, annihilated and destroyed in every way possible. |

an easier method for less advanced users would be to simply let the original 'free' transaction go through, but for a seperate payment to the pool.
(i.e. you pay the pool 0.001 btc and tell them which free tx you want them to include in their next block)
that way novices don't have to figure out how to resend a transaction (which as far as I know, bitcoin-qt won't allow)
That sounds like a great idea. I read many threads complaining about non confirmed transactions for weeks and this would solve all of them as well as bring a bit of profit to the pools. Come one, pool operators - golden idea right here. |

Ebay will never implement bitcoin and its simple why!!!
Well, they might. If Bitcoin goes mainstream, they simply won't stand losing money for ignoring Bitcoin. But there's a long, long way to go until we reach that level. |

Crazy! He evaporated into thin air  If you guys know him, tell him thank you. I'd bet my bottom satoshi that he's active here but under a different SN. Look for users registered on that date he stopped posting. Someone who just creates hugely disruptive technology doesn't just "forget about it" cause you know...this is his baby. I'll also venture that no one really cares - If they did, there would be a bounty to reveal him by now. You really struck good points. I wonder who might Satoshi be posing as now. A businessman? A regular member? Man, the curiosity is killing me . But still, there are many people trying to find his identity. |

I have 0.10 BTC. I want $45 PayPal USD. If you have no trading reputation, do not contact me. If you have trading reputation, and you want to do this trade, send me a private message. You might have to wait a couple of days to get that rate He's taking a higher rate due to the risk of exchanging BTC/PP.   I have 0.10 BTC. I want $45 PayPal USD.

And all I'm saying is in the morning, the rate may be too cheap That was the reason for my post: to explain, to clarify why. |
