None of your responses seem to successfully dispute my list of differences between an uncleared check and an unconfirmed bitcoin transaction.

Your FUD doesn't impress me much.

Orly? I assumed you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-formed_formula. But you didn't. Could you link me to the definition of "properly formed bitcoin transaction" you're using? Because it seems you're suggesting that "a properly formed bitcoin transaction" is a transaction that goes through, which isn't much of a definition, being both circular and unenlightening Sad

...also getting into some murky shit, since you're telling me that one of the most popular bitcoin wallets is creating ill-formed transactions, transactions which, being ill-formed, should never happen Huh

Imagine going to your ATM, slipping it your card, and, after keying in some numbers, seeing "Lulz, UR monyz GONE, ill-formed transaction xD looool!!" Not only did you not get any money from your ATM, but the money you expected to get is, basically, GONE. You might get it back some day, and then again, you might not.
This really is the currency of the future.

>Sure.  As of the time that I'm posting this, you can see a transaction spending unconfirmed bitcoins here:

What am I looking at? And why is it still unconfirmed, an hour later?
