Not all exchanges are necessarily the same.
Fine, just use the exchange that best fits your needs, then.

I suppose every business tends to comply with the regulations: the more they do, the more probability they are still around after some time.

Others can try to be more on the edge and thus better accomodating some users, but that can lead them to be more easily shut down by the autorities if/when some problem arise.

I for one, hope that every kind of exchange will pop up, for every kind of need Smiley

What's the problem in giving mtgox full id card and everything asking for identification?

If you want to remain anonymous you simply need to never touch an (online) exchange again: use only btcs and acquire them only in exchange of cash, hand to hand.

We better make bitcoin as solid as possible before we really depend on it. People like Luke-Jr and ArtForz attacking alt-chains is part of this hardening-process.
I'm interested in knowing the details of what happened with the attacking of alt-chains by Luke-jr and ArtForz, can you please point me to the right threads, if this is has been already discussed elsewhere?

Thanks very much

@Piuk:
non standard transactions has no data at all about scripts, check for example this one:
http://blockchain.info/rawtx/369970D60BA54BAE122BE472366938626D2533E2F79CDDA407E48EAA3765C68A

type is -1 and no other data is given.
Should'nt you expose the raw script in scenarios like this?

Thanks

[...]
Now this assumes min fee is 0.01 but in actuality it is 1 satoshi.  1 satoshi will guarantee relatively fast confirmations  0 satoshis will guarantee unbelievably slow confirmations and exponentially higher fees will only marginally decrease confirmation time.  Fees will avg 1 satoshi per confirmation until network gets small enough that a monopolist can gain 51% of network, exclude other blocks and raise fee prices creating a cartel.

How to fix it?

Does it need to be fixed?
The (wannabe) monopolist raising fees makes mining more profitable --> new miners try to enter the business taking away the 51% to the (ex) monopolist --> fees get lowered again due to the new competition, and that delicate equilibrium is found again.

I would support this (a "press" subforum with one thread per item).

trying to show http://blockchain.info/block-index/1552 I get the home page instead of the blcok, is there any reason for that?
Never mind, I confused block-index with block-height... sorry for the noise

A proposito di LUG, vicino casa mia ce n'è uno a cui sono andato una volta e non sapevano nulla di bitcoin. Mi piacerebbe andare li una volta da loro e presentarglieli: nessuno conosce/ha una presentazione già fatta che tocca i temi più importanti da usare come base di partenza?

If someone here can compose good and convincing letter to Iranian leaders explaining how Bitcoins can help Iran, I will try to deliver the message right to the top.
The top being...?

In the meantime that's being confirmed, from SlashDot "Iran is being deleted from the world banking system Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) computers as of Saturday at 1600 UTC."

Molto interessante, complimenti per il lavoro.

Vedo diversi errori 404 cliccando sul logo btc e sulla valute ma immagino sia a causa del work in progress Smiley

Joe makes a double-spend, one to Walmart and one to himself. Walmart pays 51% of the pools to commit to the transaction to Walmart. Meanwhile Joes pays the other 49% (or 20%, or whatever) to commit to the send-back. Walmart thinks the transaction is safe and gives the product to Joe, when in fact there's a 49% chance that the next block found will have the payment to Joe, and Walmart will lose the money.
If Walmart pays deepbit (and arguably other pools) to include his block he could also ask to be notified to detect double spends, or simply to ignore other tentative double spendings.
So Joe has to double spend his money to other pools, but if walmart is able to have contracts with a majority of pools (of hashing rate) he can be sure enough.

If the transaction is big enough walmart could decide to change policy as waiting for confirmations, having contracts with more pools (thus paying more) etc.

Interessante iniziativa, mi metto in ascolto.
Faccio già parte di un GAS e potersi organizzare meglio usando BTC sarebbe una gran cosa.

Then email us to indicate which film you'd like the donation to go to. If you'd like us to credit you publically on the website, tell us your VODO account name as well

I would like to see some Austrian economists at this conference.

In my opinion it's more than obvious that Satoshi has strong background on Austrian Economics and has been highly inspired by its money theory while developing Bitcoin, so building a good economic background on ppl using Bitcoin would be a definite plus.

Segnalameli che li sistemo, grazie!

ma a parte questo niente da eccepire sui contenuti (tranne forse quando si dice che l'oro non ha problemi di sicurezza).
Completamente d'accordo, ero infatti in dubbio se modificare la traduzione di quella parte. Alla fine ho deciso di lasciare l'originale, altrimenti avrei dovuto spiegare che era una mia aggiunta...

Hang in there guys. I would rather put a bullet through my head than walk away from this project. This is what I was born for (showing Bruce how to do it right).
Keep up the great work, dude Wink

Bitcoin: Oggi per i patiti della tecnologia, domani per il mondo?

Un interessante introduzione di un articolo pubblicato su di un giornale universitario che dovrebbe avere una buona visibilità.

Scatenate le condivisioni su feisbuc così diffondiamo un po' di conoscenza  Smiley
