Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Nobody subscribes to the New Yorker. They are just given out freely to be placed in dentist and doctor waiting rooms. |

I might even say it's worth it if you enjoy reading about bitcoins. It's covers all the basics without bias imo and the best article I've read covering bitcoin by media. I espcially enjoyed reading about Satoshi investigation and the quote "Bitcoin will survive a nuclear attack". |

The New Yorker article is big news for us in several respects.
First of all, for those of you who have hoped some extremely wealthy individuals would invest even a small fraction of the wealth they manage in the bitcoin economy for fun, that will happen in the wake of this article or never. New Yorker has successfully targeted the wealthiest demographic in New York for decades. It is riddled with ads for financial management companies, villas for rent in Italy and Spain, Tiffany jewelry, etc. The article may not be on the internet, but I guarantee you that as of this evening it will be sitting on every single coffee table along Fifth Avenue and Central Park West.
Second of all, it is one of the most prestigious gigs for journalists, and all of their articles are top-notch. This one is no exception – it explains Bitcoin beautifully, and is *very* engaging and positive.
But most significantly, I am convinced that the investigative journalist who wrote it, Joshua Davis, has successfully identified Satoshi! You heard it here first: Michael Clear.
This article is absolutely worth six bucks to read, could even be a catalyst for a new bubble, or better, could win over someone powerful enough to move the commercial acceptance of bitcoin forward in a very significant way.

Did you click the link dude? Yes, we did. That's why he asked for somewhere to read the article; you linked to a summary, not the original article. |

The article is available for your Kindle (but not Kindle app on PC?!) for $2.99/mo. http://www.amazon.com/The-New-Yorker/dp/B001O2SCKI/Note that there is a 14 day free trial where you can cancel the subscription within that time and get refunded. I haven't tried this myself b/c I only have the PC app anyway. |

All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

I think only USA as I had my Kindle account "located in" Canada and had to change it to USA to get the price to show up, and then I found out it doesn't support download to PC app anyway. |

Concerning the full article as opposed to the abstract: That was absolutely the best Bitcoin article I've ever seen, by far. Joshua Davis has been researching this for months. If I can find a New Yorker on a store shelf, I'm going to buy it.

Thanks; that didn't seem to be the case before, but it does now. The article says The truth is that most people don't spend the bitcoins they buy; they hoard them, hoping that they will appreciate. What's the evidence for this? Is it somehow verfiable in the block chain? He quickly identified nine ways to compromise the system and scoured Nakamoto's for an insertion point for his first attack. But when he found the right spot there was a message waiting for him. "Attack removed," it said. The same thing happened over and over again, infuriating Kaminsky. This does not seem to be literally true. Am I searching incorrectly, or are there actually explicit (but different) comments in the repository somewhere? met% git log | grep '^commit' 2> /dev/null | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | xargs -n 1 -i git diff -r {} | grep -C 3 -i remove | grep -i attack | sort -u

It's just some way of saying that any flaw the guy initially thought he could exploit had already been foreseen by Satoshi. |

FWIW, I've taken the PDF posted on cryptome, transcribed it, and put some work into annotating all its claims and references: http://www.gwern.net/docs/2011-davisIf nothing else, it's much more pleasant to read and easier to quote. |
