But PPcoin isn't Bitcoin... OP originally posted in wrong forum and a mod moved it over to the alt currency section. I thinks he was questioning why it was posted in that section originally. |

You could put it into the Title of the Thread as well  Soneone should do it for fun. All it did on my ipad is crash safari. Ipad device did not crash. Oh wait....maybe I now have a virus......  |

Do people realize the OP is talking about Bitcoin? He is using tongue-n-cheek to describe the fast block rewards. Or maybe I am the dumb one and everyone else is just playing along woth the OP.  |

Wouldn't the NSA be more discrete?
Occam's Razor -EDIT- Additional Content Occam's Razor "If you have two theories that both explain the observed facts, then you should use the simplest until more evidence comes along"I would think it is more plausible that one entity (NSA) was able to produce this spike rather than an entire country like Russia doing it all at once. NSA could just simply "throw a switch" and begin archiving every TOR produced traffic packet. I do not think the NSA cares at this point in the game if they are noticed. Although they might not of even considered the traffic was being monitored. It will be interesting to see what other theories people post here! -EDIT 2- This web posting suggest 3 things; 1. Piratebay annon browser downloads 2. Botnets 3. NSA spying causing privacy fear http://news.techworld.com/security/3466140/tor-traffic-doubles-in-week-reach-highest-ever-level/ |

Botnet or Others on the Tor list have suggested that it’s a spike from Russia as a result of a newly passed “anti-piracy” law. I wouldn't think Russia could "double" the entire world's TOR usage in just a week. My best guess would be the NSA has something to do with it. |

At $85B a month, that equates to $32,793 per second. Sheets of $100 bills consist of 32 bills, thus 10 sheets per second just for the $100 bills. Doesn't leave much time to print the $1, $5, $10, $20, or the $50, let alone the set up time between runs, for the lines are not dedicated as I've just learned off YouTube via some plant manager.
Something doesn't add up! Obviously, "printing" is a metaphor and does not refer to actual physical paper notes. They're just increasing numbers in the bank's servers. Funny that some people insist on calling Bitcoin a "digital currency" while almost every single Euro and Dollar in existence (that is, more than 99%) exists only digital as well. I found some better numbers: http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0774850.htmlHow much money is printed each day? The Bureau of Engraving and Printing produces 38 million notes a day with a face value of approximately $541 million. That equates to $16.23B printed per month. The $85B is the amount of Bonds sold backed by the $16.23B printed. Not a bad racket! Any ideas on how to improve upon the idea? I do not think you are looking at it correctly. like it was mentioned earlier, "printing" is just a metaphor. It is a way of describing how the deficit continues to increase because we keep writing phony checks to cover US obligations. (Like Jace said....Numbers adjusted on FED Reserve Computers) When you pointed out the US government prints $541 million daily in notes, they also remove a sizable amount of worn bills from circulation. The NET is not an increase of $541 million daily because of the printed new notes. What is a NET (negative) is the amount spent causing massive deficit ( http://www.usdebtclock.org/) The US government writes $85 billion dollars per month that they do not have. Essentially borrowing credit today and hoping to repay in the future. Not a bad racket! Any ideas on how to improve upon the idea? LOL...Definitely a racket. They can't continue this forever however because the interest payments will eventually swallow them. Right now, they are spending everyone's future. |

If the bitcoin economy were to grow 100X then, assuming the cost of a 51% attack scales linearly, the USG would need to spend USD 1-2 billion which is becoming significant even for the USG.
One to two billion in not significant to the US. They are currently printing $85 billion per month in effort to stimulate the economy. They could easily fund a 51% attack. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/19/federal-reserve-bond-buying_n_3467097.html |

I remember first watching the following video when BitCoin was at 7 USD each and thinking, "wow, this guys is banking".
What video are you referring to? |

Bitcoin will be 5$ in 40 days.
And you sir are a Moron. |

Bitcoin Is the New Napster… and That’s a Good Thing Wrong! E-Gold and Liberty Reserve were Napster. Bitcoin is the BitTorrent of money. +1 You got that right! |
