It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Who knows what this patent actually covers, it melts the mind trying to read this stuff. From https://www.google.com/patents/US20130173416For example, claim 18: 18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 17, wherein the operation further comprise: determining whether the code is valid; and providing access to the digital version of the analog good based on the code being valid. Something to do with digital versions of analog goods. Edit: looks like this topic is a duplicate of one from yesterday: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=508016.0

So when eBay starts using this to take down Bitcoin exchanges, is Bitcoin Foundation going to:
1) Use all those donations it got to fund legal challenges to get the patent overturned, or, 2) Urge every Bitcoin business to start paying to license the patent from eBay

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive: Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers

Marcus (PayPal president David Marcus) believes that PayPal may involve itself with bitcoin in the future, when the time is right for his company to do so.
Donahoe (CEO of eBay John Donahoe) says his company is currently working on implementing bitcoin for PayPal users.
They don't seem to be doing much at the moment, but at least they are pretending to be interested in bitcoins Source:
