I would've been deeply concerned if survey results had been reversed. These people have proven that they can't predict their way out of a wet paper bag.
As such, this almost unanimous negative opinion is excellent news.

Hi yall, My mate just finished this fricken amazing animation explaining bitcoin. https://vimeo.com/63502573#at=0If any one wants to tip him his address is. BTC: 1P9wrpA2UQ2GEmMpt81Ch3Wt4poq5LhpiW I hate to ask this but is there any way you can prove that that is actually his address? Perhaps a link to the creator's site? |

Always glad to hear of more people accepting Bitcoin. Can you post some links..?

I'm listing to this now; I'm very alarmed at Dr Adam Posen's comments (21:30) considering he's a money adviser to governments. Interesting that he's branded all Bitcoin users as right-wing and bitcoin itself as insecure. Where do they get these experts?

+1 Lol, those were the days. Her final comment at the end is highly poignant considering the 'problems' the internet has caused for newspapers the world over... |

Would the process of creating a country that uses bitcoin not create partial centralisation?
Would it not perhaps be better to simply have bitcoin recognised as a currency in its own right by institution like the EU and the US?
This could also help set a president for other emerging distributed economies and societies.

I'm now at 61210.45358287 and going down.
This exchange is a great place to store your coins...
I've emailed their support. If I don't get a response/resolution I'll make more noise here...

If the hash-rate is very much higher than the difficulty you can get a noticable higher rate of demurrage. But 2.3% in 4 days can't happen. Anything more than 1% per month is practically impossible.
You can calculate the demurrage rate directly from the number of blocks solved in the time interval. The average is supposed to be 2016 per every two weeks. So if 2.3% is to be correct there would be solved about 5 months worth of avg. blocks in those 4 days, which is 20160 (and we are now at approx. block 24500 in total from 21.12 2012). So we have had about 2.5% demurrage of FRC until now, but that only for the coins generated (and held) shortly after the genesis block.
That is a great answer. Thank you! |

On the 19th of April this month I had 62,655.74118307 FRC. On the 23rd, 4 days later I now have 61,211.21246082 FRC. That’s a loss of 1,444.52872225 FRC or 2.3%.
Has that occurred through demurrage or should I be taking this up with the exchange where the FRC are stored?
I still can't claim to fully understand the demurrage mechanism.

My good friend Graham who develops his BURP backup program and provides it open source is now taking donations in Bitcoin! If you would like to support his efforts please see his website here: http://burp.grke.org/ |

We don't see PPC in the ticker list that Gox has, but that's quite fine they could always add it. For the moment it looks like LTC and NMC are going to GOX.
People forget that although NMC is a 'coin' it's also a brilliant Domain distribution system. Once on gox not only will it get the boost it needs to continue development, but it could open an era of trully free distributed dns.

It was down for me - I'm in the UK - and a friend in Australia. Back now it seems. Thanks for this link. |

Some websites - e.g. MTGOX - only issues Yubikeys from themselves which are locked to one account only. They state this is done for security purposes as if a Yubikey is used on multiple accounts with different providers one of the providers can use your code to log into another account with another provider.
I am therefore wondering if it is best practice to have one key per provider or if it is ok to use one Yubikey with multiple different accounts and providers.
Can anyone clarify why this is?

Is MTGOX down for anyone else again again again....
