How about including some transactions in the 4th block?! The future will need more fees than generation rewards... and you're missing the whole idea of mining...
If there are no transactions being recorded, that is a major design problem. this is currently being worked on. see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/476 and the forum thread referenced therein. One hopes so. Until then, p2pool is actively DoS'ing the bitcoin network, by delaying transactions until a non-p2pool miner builds a block. That is very harmful to the network. |

It is important to separate out a few issues.
Regardless of all other issues people seem to want to bring up, Pattaya is simply not what anybody thinks, when you think "financial center of Asia."

Wow...
That sure is... a lot of conferences.

BTW, please consider the example of E-gold, with regards to FlexCoin's regulatory posture. In broad strokes, E-gold obtained legal counsel that said they did not have to register as an MSB or file CTRs and SARs, because their gold-backed virtual currency was not "money." The US federal government -- and common sense -- disagreed, once substantial amounts of value were being transferred overseas using E-gold. Precedent has shown that the US government wants to track the movement of "funds" all over the world; be proactive about compliance and use common sense: bitcoins are money for all practical purposes. And yes, I read your Terms of Service in its entirety. |

Bruce, Consider focusing the bitcoin conference locations on world financial centers (hong kong, london, dubai, nyc, ...) rather than fun vacation destinations  |

For a currency, there's been a shameful lack of effort to get vendors to adopt it and there's no apparent infrastructure behind it at all. 100% of the effort has been dedicated toward development of the block chain and client. Unfortunately that's only one small piece of the puzzle in getting it accepted as actual currency.
The 2011 Bitcoin Conference demonstrated plenty of people and businesses working towards this. |

A financial center like Tokyo or Hong Kong or London or Beijing would make more sense. Sounds like someone just wants to take a vacation.
I hate to say it.... but I agree. Hong Kong would make a lot more sense. Getting only 100 or so people to show up in New York is an embarrassing failure. You can get 100 people to show up for anything in New York City.
The quality of the crowd matters. Getting together 100 random people is irrelevant. Getting together 100 people who are working on doing something interesting in bitcoin is -- and was, last weekend -- very useful. Building Community 101. |

Conference was a lot of fun. Plenty of people and lots of energy and interest in bitcoin.

Seems the link to the patch now gives a 404 record so I can't look at it. If I am understanding what is proposed here it seems a good idea. However the above is not the right record type. It should be using SRV records not A records, this also lets the record specific the port number, so that need not be fixed.
SRV records would be nice... ...but it is difficult to make that work in a cross-platform manner. "A" records have a higher Just Works(tm) value, even if we are forced to compromise and hardcode port 8333. |

You missed one key differentiator: bitcoin forks should change pchMessageStart.

A post by Theymos on July 1st, in another MyBitcoin thread: MyBitcoin is still accepting payments with only 1 confirmation. This is insane for a bank. Any miner capable of mining two blocks in a row can steal money from MyBitcoin pretty easily. I'm surprised no one has attempted it yet. - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=22221.msg309173#msg309173Indeed. mtgox requires 6 confirmations, IIRC. |
