You already know the solution to the problem, so that's sure you know which questions you can ask to Google. I'm sorry, it seems I've looked to the whitepaper too quickly, and I didn't see it. Maybe a sticky that would stock all the questions would be a good idea, but that's just a suggestion.
Sticky wouldn't help. The stuff that's pinned already gets asked about all the time anyhow.
Honestly, I don't mind helping out and answering questions like this (again, and again, and again). If it really bothered me, I'd just leave the forum or stop responding to these kinds of questions. I'm happy to help. It's just human nature to ask a question when wanting to understand something. Some people are motivated to search, study, learn, and understand on their own, but most people just want a straight answer to the few things that they happen to have on their mind at the moment. There generally isn't much interest in a deep understanding of how the entire system works.
My response wasn't really meant to be a criticism of your question. It was just meant to point out to
btcdevil that this conversation is very helpful to the people that are viewing this thread right now, and not very helpful to anyone else. In a few days we'll all stop posting to this thread and it'll move down the list of active threads until it is a page or two deep. Then new people won't see it, and someone wondering the same things will ask the question all over again.
Maybe next time you'll be the one to answer, now that you've gained some understanding. Maybe I'll just answer it again.
