Bitcoin is archaic

[auswalk]

Let me tell you what happened to me today. I sent off 3 transacations with some fees and NONE OF THEM CONFIRMED. FOr hours on end. I use bitcoin-qt.  Finally I'm like "WTF" is wrong. What do I do ? I have to rerun bitcoin-qt --reindex which takes 24 EFFIN hours. Finally the transactions started confirming.

what is wrong with this picture?

The first thing that is wrong here is that you didn't give us any transaction IDs. It is also possible that there is something wrong with your wallet and you are blaming Bitcoin for it. I've been using QT and then Core for 3 years and I have never had any problems with it.

I use bitcoin-qt.  

When was the time that you've updated your wallet? Last QT version was released in 2013-12-09; the current wallet software is Bitcoin Core 0.11.2.

Lauda you are the most worthless staff poster here. Your ignorance astounds me. You know basically about altcoins. Do you think people just make them up instead of having sex or something? Some may do it for scamming purposes but many have legit ideas
BITCOIN IS FUBAR RIGHT NOW. Deal with reality. Stop bitching and moaning and start presenting some solutions instead of name calling. You'd do yourself and the community a favor.

I'm scared to the point that I'm gonna dump my whole stash of BTC b/c you if represent the community this experiment is GAME OVER.

We need some leadership and some innovation quick.

OP posts nonsense -> OP gets corrected -> repeat -> OP asks for help because OP is confused -> member provides help -> OP uses 'ad hominem'. This logic is amazing.
As I've pointed out and you've proven yourself, you have no technical knowledge and are just rambling on why altcoins are better then in fact they are much worse. Keep this up and you will most likely get banned for breaking the rules. You have not answered to a single statement made by spartacusrex nor me either.

You convinving piece of trash. I am using 0.11.2 and I know this stuff 10 times more than you ever will. I'm not giving out transactions to humor your stupid ass.

The conversation is over. I have lowed my IQ talking to a total complete imbecile. That's all you are. Go back in your stupid hole you live in.

use 10k satoshi next time, because i'm sure you didn't, and this is right for all your transaction, because if for oen you use less then the other that are connected to that transaction will be delayed as well, no matter the fee

Seriously. You might just be the biggest jerk I've ever met online. You know nothing about anything and just spout off crap based on faulty assumptions. Wow you're such a badass.

"BITCOIN IS GOD AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS Heresay". That;s all I've gotten out of you. If only the world were that simple.

well no proof that you did, so i take this comment as "yes i didn't"

without proper fee it's obvious that you won't get fast confirmation

and bitcoin-qt is still syncing. 24+ hours now.

But I just made all this crap up for no reason at all.

I know it has all the network effects but it's a dinosaur. Transactions take forever, sometimes take days or take client reindexing which takes an entire day. there is little anonyiminiy. Something like Dash has to eventually take it's place. The question is when.

They take day if you add no fee.
We can't say the fees are expensive buddy, stop being a cheap ass and pay them. When using Electrum the default fee is 0.1% and it allows transactions to get 6 confirmations in nearly 1hour. It's not exactly a slow process, especially considering 6 conf are extremely high and most sites accept 3 or 2.

Basically there were 3 transactions hung for 5 hours until I decided to run reindex. Then after about 6 more hours they started confirming.

I see. So I need to REINDEX also (yeah that makes sense). And the fee I used was the default for bitcoin-qt. Maybe we can make bitcoin real cool and start requiring .01 BTC transactions fees. It's heading there now.

Never paid more than 50k satoshi fee.
The fee should be proportional to the amount you're sending, and it's really low compared to any other mean of payment.

Problem being that if you use another coin, yeah for sure it'll be faster. Until adoption reaches btc level, then it gonna be something rather similar.

[auswalk]

I like electrum but I don't trust offline storage. I've heard too many horror stories of people gettting cleaned out.

this is confirmed what is the problem exactly? the sync need good ssd like the evo or above and a good cpu to launch qt, nothing more

are you moaning that you have a crappy pc really?

His post seemed to me to be quite helpful. What was wrong with it?

Truth is, bitcoin isn't really good at milking the abundance of resources thrown at at. Thousands of non mining node, tons of computing power and yet the network could still work as it doses to day with 1% of the current resources. Thing is, non mining nodes aren't a good security addition and I think that they were never intended to be used in the network as they are now. And increase in the block size would make matters even worse for nodes. Why not have 10Gb blocks and hire AWS instances to nodes? Nah... Bitcoin shouldn't try to compete with how high TPS centralized payment networks can reach, it has a different structure in the first place.

My PC is state of the art AMD 8 core, 16GB ram, 500GB SSD.

NOW STFU.

Jet, you will find this board FULL of shills, hacks and just pure ignoramuses that are conceded pricks to boot. Try to filter out the fools from the people who know something. That's all you can do.
