the transaction is real, but nothing to worry about.
it is only Mark Karpeles cashing out.

If you are connected to 125 nodes, then for 200 TPS only the hashes already are 0.8 MBps:
125 * 32 * 200 = 800000 = 0.8 MBps
People often forget that.
Even if they can teleport the blocks and the transactions. The hashes alone are > 0.5 MBps.

when you talk about private key, you mean ssl right? (not the bitcoin private key)

whats the sum?
3,189,354.44 thx for doing some mental arithmetic  but holy cow, thats 27% of all coins. |

Thats not quite the revision where it changed. It changed in several steps, first the size of blocks it would create was limited,
this is the commit one should people point to, cause this is the first commit with MAX_BLOCK_SIZE introduced |

this means that bitcoin will be dead by the end of the year. you should sell all coins now.

the idea is stupid.
if your new chain could handle large amounts of microtransactions with 60 seconds, then bitcoin could as well
-> no need for a new chain in the first place.
or in other words, if your new chain is just a bitcoin clone, why would your new chain be able to handle
high transaction volume, but not bitcoin, if its just a clone.

Isnt the argumentation at least a little flawed?
Because shorter block times also mean shorter blocks.
Should make no difference, if you have for 10 minute block time, 1 time long validation time,
while for 1 minute blocks, 10 time short validation time. The sum is the same.

What are apple stocks useful for? What can you do with them, other then buy and sell. Bitcoin is like the best stock ever: - You can send/trade them with other people without a trusted third party involved. - You can store them on a paper, usb-stick, computer, mobile, table, in your brain. - You can easy launder bitcoins to make them fully anonymous - You can actually directly buy stuff, though its not that wide-spreaded yet - Like gold, its not bind to something. Stocks is always bind to the value of a company. - You dont need a freaking bank or whatever company to buy bitcoin, you can buy them anonymously on the street - etc |

Is this really such a good idea right now?
If everybody starts using spv, from where can you download the blocks, if nobody stores the blocks anymore?
I guess we should wait, until real block chain pruning is implemented, otherwise the amount of full nodes will go down,
which is no good right now. You could end up harming the network more than helping.

The best thing would be, if paypal introduces anonymous, non-chargeback accounts.
Everybody can create such accounts and fill them with up to 500$ per account with bitcoin.
Merchants could then decide to only accept "Paypal anon", to be on the safe side with no chargeback.

What I do not understand, why are people blindly jumping on board, without even knowing what this is about and how it really works.
Another question: why do blocks have to be signed, if its proof of work? Are Hatches then trusted 3rd parties for the clients, because clients cannot
verify the work? Why do 2 hatches have to sign the block, this looks like a big security issue by design to me (or maybe I just misunderstand the hole thing).

This is a total contradiction: You say you discourage hoarding, but give interest on .. hoarding???
If you give interest on a coin, the only thing people want to do with this coin is hoard.

Why do you people waste your time with stuff like that?
If you spend all your time on improving bitcoin, that would really help.
What does a different proof of work change?
- it does not change that transactions have to be collected in a block
- it does not change that you have to wait for x confirmations
- it does not change that blocks have to broadcasted
- it does not change .. anything

Interesting question would be:
Was it a misunderstanding on purpose? (of how bitcoin works)
If not, then everything is ok. Misunderstanding will be clearified and BF continues as normal.
If yes, then BF is screwed. They were just looking for a reason to shut this thing down.

I think all pools just use what is given by upstream.
And my concern is that the default maximum block size given by upstream is 243kB.
There is no other way, why should every pool produce all the time exactly 243kB?
