Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I'm here to help out on the FPGA front.  I am currently watching the Icarus project very closely as it solves a couple of issue I have.  Hopefully I can make some value added suggestions and also help with a bit on layout and production.

I'm D'man. I've been playing around with bitcoins for about a month using various exchangers. Would love to leave a review for get-bitcoin.com. As soon as I have enough posts and 4 hours time, I'll leave a review. They do get it done within 24 hours. But I haven't experienced under 16 hours. And this is with deposit of cash into their account using both Chase and Bank of America. Sort of lame but you have to plan ahead.

Anyone explain me why i should do the Bitcoin affair !
Sounds like a lot off internet bullshit to me.

Can i use Bitcoin in a supermarket in the United Kingdom ?
Can i buy a Hamburger with Bitcoin, or do i have to bring my laptop ?
If i see a sweater and i want to buy it, the lady says, that ll be 50 bucks,
oh i m a bitcoiner, hahah.
Bitcoin is going to fail, hacked cracked tweaked etc etc..

Bitcoin is for lazy people who want to sit back and lett the computer do the work.
No wonder you can sleep well at night, you dont have to get up to go to work.

How does that feel, your computer with their cards running while your sleeping, how
bout electricity costs.
How bout turning in a computernerd, studying on cards building a rig.

Internet is not a blessing, but more a curse, look at the bunch of bullshit it drags along in its slipstream !
Bitcoin has no charm, i can hold cash in my hand and spend it anywhere, everywhere in the world.
I can pay hookers with cash, you cant do that with Bitcoin,

Bitcoin is for nerds.

Anyone got more reasons not to use Bitcoin ??

A big word game. A game of big words. A tragedy of arbitrary angry word choices.
Oh I do so love this game.

Affair, a particularly incendiary word, or at least it tries to be and of course it fails and simply says, "I'm just trying to make the fellow who speaks my name seem like an intellectual. It's a good career to have. You meet new people everyday, especially when the economy is bad."

Quote

Bullshit. From the Internet. Only kind that scares me. Once I had a run in with a bullshit. But that was OK. It wasn't from the Internet. I sometimes hear sounds coming from my closet. I think it's an Internet bullshit. I'm afraid to look. But all in all I'm not afraid of bullshit. Just the Internet kind. Maybe I'm afraid of the Internet.

Are you afraid of the Internet, too? Can we be pen pals?

Quote
Can i use Bitcoin in a supermarket in the United Kingdom ?

Can you use yen? no? perhaps francs? not those either? what about marks? oh I know rupees! you must be able to use those? no. Are they Internet bullshits too?

Quote
Can i buy a Hamburger with Bitcoin, or do i have to bring my laptop ?

New York restaurants have terminals that accept Bitcoin. And all you need is a flash drive. A wallet that is smaller than your wallet. Sorry to be so blunt and direct, but you came into this community with guns drawn yelling at everyone, yet you have no anger to spare for those destroying your economy and no motivation to learn about how to fix it.

Quote
If i see a sweater and i want to buy it, the lady says, that ll be 50 bucks,
oh i m a bitcoiner, hahah.

Pretty soon you'll be using electronic cards which give you a day's wages and then you'll say, "I wish there were an alternative not centralized in the hands of my employer and the government which is a shell made up of banker and corporate interests."

Slow the f' down and listen.

Bitcoin is a high speed race that makes it impossible to counterfeit. The only way to make coins is to run the race. And as long as no one has 50% of the network, no one can counterfeit. The reward for protecting the authenticity of the coins is 50 coins. It is also self regulated so that the puzzle gets harder if the production rate gets too big.

It costs more in electricity for most people than the amount of Bitcoins they get. They do it to protect the coins from counterfeiting.

So you really are afraid of the Internet.

A coin that cannot be counterfeited because people have to race to try to do so. Plenty of charm.
Also we have bitbills already. And no one can steal the bitbills after they are spent because spending drains them.

But an intellectual such as yourself can't be bothered with things that have features which you have to think about rather than touch. An intellectual who hates the abstract. What a weird creature. An intellectual who is more interested in some shiny tinsel.

Quote
I can pay hookers with cash, you cant do that with Bitcoin,

I can buy porn with Bitcoin. I can buy diapers with Bitcoin. I can buy electronics with Bitcoin.

Agreed. I was about to reply to the troll, but after reading NASDAQ's I think it best we leave it there; a very clever post. I got my morning's LOL out of it. NASDAQEnema, +1.

As for Goats Cheese, thanks for inspiring us! Welcome to the forums.

I really do not like this posting rule, even if it is to discourage trolls, maybe I don't have anything to say on the forums except occasionally when my input actually matters and not to just say hello.
But alas, hello. I go by T.
