Looks like Bitcoin is going to have a hard fork in December. 1mb blocks to be replaced with 2mb blocks - and thereafter soft forks or some other mechanism to increase blocks as and when needed, but with agreement of miners who vote on the updates

Looks like our little BTC node incentives program will be needed sooner rather than later

But she is no bitcoin fanatic. As a longtime Wall Street banker who has working with established financial institutions, she may attract the ire of bitcoin first-mover enthusiasts who hold a more utopian, bank-free vision for the digital currency.

“We don’t think of bitcoin as being a store of value or an alternative currency or an investment,” she said. “We think of it as a medium for exchange and a mechanism for recording information.”


Ex JP Morgan exec basically saying Bitcoin, meh. Doing business using the technology, woo hoo

The difficulty was on 4?? Aww man, that would have been a good time to mine.
Maybe I should start mining again. Hopefully it drops down soon.

I was thinking about new wallet features. It's probably too late now, but maybe we could have a block reward ETA in the mining tab where you put in a block reward amount and the wallet figures out how long it would take (in years, days, hours, seconds) for the block reward to be equal or below the amount you specified.

It would be nice to know when the block reward drops down below 3.3. It gives you an idea of the rate of decline from the current block.

Edit: Just reading that first paragraph that I wrote gave me another wallet feature. It would be good it you can tell the wallet to start mining when the difficulty drops below a number and stop mining when the difficulty goes above another number. (I was thinking this would only be CPU mining but I guess it could work for GPU mining by making the wallet stop giving work to the miner)

I know there is an app that helps for BTC maybe u can use it on alts too.

How is the new wallet progressing?

Very good, I will release a preview version for windows either later today or tomorrow.

[zeca pagodinho]

I can not remember the password, if one wants to try his luck, I send the wallet.dat! 

[entropycoin]

I would hang on to it.  There is always the possibility that you will eventually remember the password, or that you essentially do remember it and are neglecting to include a single or a string of characters.

For example, you may remember it as hunter2 when in actuality it is hunter2!

I thought I forgot my password for my wallet after not using it for 3 months.
It turns out the last word in my password didn't start with a capital letter and I thought it did.

Bitcoin full node white paper almost done.

Once data has been incorporated from Stonehedge's trial running a Bitcoin node on AWS, we should have a draft out.

Anyone fancy reading the draft and commenting, please let me know.

If not bother.

A bank taking out a full page ad in a newspaper to say Bitcoin will grow once it is regulated is basically saying the opposite  - banks and other large institutions want things regulated because of the costs of regulation.

Why?

It skews the competitive landscape back their way because $ for $, they have so many transactions that the cost of regulations are not noticed.

A small crypto start-up by comparison would notice every single penny that had to go to feed regulatory compliance.
