Without solving the block size problem  is possible?  

first of all, what problem? lol
you mean the spam attack that has been ended for a while? or the fact that fees went up?

second of all if we assume there is a problem with "block size" it doesn't matter when you buy land. you pay $1 fee for a $50,000 (or whatever the cost is in USD) transaction for example. do you see a problem here?

no he mean the scalability issue that is affecting bitcoin, or maybe you think that paying 50ks atoshi per transaction it's fine lol, it's a run to who pay more now, and who pay more get his tx prioritized, this is not good for bitcoin as a currency, if many other people start to use it like these liberland city, more unconfirmed transaction will get stuck, and this is not related to spam attack

Always good news for bitcoin from Norway. If this is really happening then this will be great experiment, we will see from them how bitcoin can improve current economy in little town. Isn't more logical for them to make their own coin to mine that coin or make some other way of distribution? In that way they will not have any problems with splitting, they can run the coin like they wish too.

City Liberstad in norway has decided to use bitcoin as primary currency.They have said they would accept bitcoin for land sold in presale.They have even planned to give discounts to customers who pay in bitcoins for their services.It seems bitcoin moving towards its golden era of recognition.

wow, that's huge and worthy of commendation: they are following the footsteps of Arnhem Bitcoinstad- the Bitcoin city in the Netherlands. I think we need to see more of this where individual cities will start integrating Bitcoin into their payment systems.

How would they know if the money is clear or dirty? Aren't they gonna ask the source of the money? A drug dealer can easily come up with a story like "i bought it when costed dust and now im rich dawg"

Seems messy. Still a good step in the right direction.

I think this is impressive, if our respective cities all over the world start adopting Bitcoin one after the other I think it will globalize Bitcoin usage and worldwide adoption of this coin would be realized in no time. I commend what's happening in Norway and we hope to see more cities replicate that in the near future.

Don't worry about this because these transactions are very high (by volume) and are very rare to happen because of the overall value that is being transferred.

When the give discounts then bitcoin in this way gets more popular and I like their idea, but if they are selling lands then we should think that these are big money which is hard to purchase bitcoin directly and without any high fee and by providing different verification (providing documents... to exchanges) and then to purchase with these bitcoin the land.

This is a great news indeed but this does not cover all of norway and definitely not a primary currency.  They are just accepting it just like online stores.  It thought some government had accepted Bitcoin as their primary currency.  Title seems misleading but well this is a good news.  More merchant for Bitcoin means more support to the currency.

This is a pretty good progress for bitcoin as countries started noticing it's value as a real money even though i thought that the whole city of norway  started accepting it but overall it's great for bitcoin. It is only a matter of time until bitcoin is used globally.
Now all we need to do is solve the bitcoin scaling problem for bitcoin to continue innovating in many years to come that's if the community could unite and make a decision whether to have a fork or chose between BU or core devs.

I think in norway still use Krone(NOK) in primary curency
maybe about bitcoin in primary curency only use in online not real life and not international payment in norway

It is these kinds of comments that deserved to be ignored in this forum. The news is a welcome one but it is very far from bringing the golden era of recognition. That city is not even known around the world. What they are trying to do over there is trying to bring some recognition for the city by accepting Bitcoin.

hopefully this into something good for the development of bitcoin in the present and future
perhaps with the endorsement of governments to give legal force to this bitcoin will definitely make bitcoin as a second currency after the real currency

sound great, according news.Bitcoin article they had two payment methods which Bitcoin and their own currencies, so I wonder City Liberstad is the first City/Country which accepting bitcoin as payment, personally I doubt that will be succesfull

I dont think thats a good idea. Primary currency? You mean national currency? Bitcoin as a primary currency is a bad idea. It could be a disaster in their economy. Imagine how bad their economy is, if they do that. We know bitcoin could easily crash. So to think that they use it as their primary currency, very bad idea. Its not stable.

Do not take the news seriously. It is kind of a joke. Remember Liberland? It is almost the same thing as that. I believe it might be one weird individual lobbying to make Bitcoin the primary currency for their city. I suspect he is holding a lot of coins.

I think the case of Norway is just like a big experiment of bitcoin adoption. And if the system will work good with bitcoin I think other countries will follow that strategy as well.

i agree but it is always like this, there is small portion of a country accepting bitcoin and people go nuts. although i have to say it is good to see a new adoption, and a real usage for bitcoin in the real world despite all this drama that is circling in the bitcoin community.

It's a great news, where did you read the information anyway? It would be helpful if you could share a useful link to us.
That is a great achievement and it will help the publicity of bitcoin if it will be featured in international news. I was just curious, what would happen to their original currency then?

Sounds like that they are starting to saturate their place to give people familiarization of how to use bitcoin to their country. Nice opportunity that can be consider to those people who will avail to use it as currency which is bitcoin as payment procedures.

This is one of the best news I have read today. Now just out of sheer curiosity, since Bitcoin is anonymous, can this happen: Mr x a person of other country purchases, Bitcoins and transfers to Mr Y who is a resident there and if he purchases it, will the transaction be yet legal. As Bitcoins cannot be traced back. I like the move, but wanted to know if it leads to such issue won't Bitcoin suffer a negative impact. Plus won't the local bodies and agencies suffer as they won't receive any tax from the sale.
