Total worth of #Bitcoin now (Mar 19, 2013 04:47 UTC) crossed half a billion USD. 566.373 Million USD  (10.917M coins × $51.88), to be exact.  Grin
324  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: [ANN] btchip : a Smartcard wallet (no reader required / now with anti-malware) on: March 15, 2013, 10:30:01 AM
Is it possible to use two different keys in such a way that either of those keys could sign?
Just for the single key failover case / redundancy.
Hope it would act like duplicate door keys..

I think, 50 USD is resistance now.
If crosses, then 40 EUR, and then 60 USD and then 50 EUR will also be kind of resistance levels..  Roll Eyes

Now I have a old "Nokia C5-00" (Symbian / S60)

I am checking the following config, and I will let you know the results / review.

I think JVM is RISC architecture, which is good for mobile processors.
May be google do this better, but hopefully Oracle won't let Google..

Android mobile phones and all-java apps would then be entirely different..
just think about what a quad-core JVM, directly implemented into processor, can do.. Smiley
328  Other / Off-topic / Re: ASIC JVM? on: March 14, 2013, 04:43:04 AM
There is so much news about JVM implementation into hardware.. How did I miss?  Roll Eyes

A modern chip fab costs literally 100s of millions of BTC.

There is nothing in this world costs more than ~21 million BTC.. Grin
330  Other / Off-topic / ASIC JVM? on: March 13, 2013, 05:34:16 AM
Just wondering.. Even though there is so much support for java (millions of programmers, billions of users, etc.), why dont' we see JVM implemented into silicon yet??  Roll Eyes

but, Bitcoin is only 4 years old and we have ASIC machines now..  Wink

Is it possible to get little more secure bitcoins, if privacy is not a concern ?
332  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Latest block with no transactions? on: March 08, 2013, 05:47:24 AM
which is the last block to contain zero transactions (block with, only reward transaction)?  Roll Eyes

334  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible for an exchange to manipulate prices for own profit? on: March 03, 2013, 06:36:38 PM
I don't understand how they could do it? wouldn't it be difficult for an exchange to widen the spread without users seeing it? After all the buy/sell price is published realtime, one only need place a buy and/or sell order to check it. Am I missing something?

May be mtgox won't prevent users from entering orders, but it surely can include fake buy and sell orders.

Lets hope they are not doing it, but if they do / did, then there are no way to prove.
335  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Passphrase utility on: March 03, 2013, 01:56:08 PM
good one.  Smiley

I had similar idea of passphrase utility which would generate passphrase from constant webpage content, like this. I am just using wikipedia article at point of time (date / version), but it can be anything like, even a image / photo, from national geographic, picasa, or google drive, or youtube video, etc.
336  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Can anybody stall Bitcoin for 72BTC per hour? on: March 03, 2013, 01:44:49 PM
The default block-filling algorithm that most miners are running is:

+ Fill up part of the block with the highest transactions, regardless of fees
+ Then fill up the rest of the block with as many fee-paying transactions as possible, highest fee-per-kilobyte first.

Point 1 can also be manipulated. Anyways, I am just moving BTC between my addresses. For others it would look like spending, but in reality I own all 6K addresses in a block. so, it is like, for about 3k transactions, we would need 3000 BTC to prevent transactions below 1 BTC to enter into blockchain. plus, whatever we are paying for transaction fee.

We don't need 3000 BTC for every block, it is just one time amount required, and we are just moving this amount around.

Hi, I am Vijay, and I own of firstbits://1vijay

I would be happy if I could keep it forever without compromising my private keys.

I have 3.2221 BTC, that's about 1070 times more money when 7 billion people could equally share 21 million bitcoins among themselves (3 mBTC).  Smiley
338  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Printcoin bill in circulation on: March 02, 2013, 05:18:19 AM
BTC note doesn't have to be this big.
I think, business card size is about right.
It can also be in portrait (considering current design is 'landscape')
just my 2 bitcents.. Smiley
339  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Campaign for XBT. A new ISO Currency Code is required for Bitcoin on: March 02, 2013, 02:09:36 AM
XIO ("ex eye oh") / XOI

may be even, X10 ("ex ten") / X01

numeric are non standard in currency symbols?
but it is ok for BTC, after all it is all ones and zeros.  Smiley
340  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Can anybody stall Bitcoin for 72BTC per hour? on: March 02, 2013, 01:59:32 AM
yes, that's about 1,734,480 BTC a year.
@ 50 USD exchange rate per BTC, it would be $86,724,000 a year Roll Eyes
