I posted a message to my university group on google plus to check out SolidCoins, do you want a screenshot?

I like the idea of giving the network/coin real value (computing power for hire) and using the immense power of the network for something productive. I heard some suggestions to limit mining power per IP adres to 5 MH/s to limit the waste of electricity and the remaining capacity could then be used for usefull purposes... I'm not quite sure how it would work but I think you've got an interesting starting point for discussion

+1 

I believe the max round length is going to be 7 days now (please confirm) which is the same as 5*2016 minutes. I'm not sure whether it's a good thing or not but I think this'll mean that the time limit will occur 50% if mining capacity doesn't increase during a new block

you need 1 more

yes, that's an unlikely story

hmm, here is my obligatory +1 to get to the 4 posts even faster, now how do i get to so many hours before i can posts what i really want 

there seems to be more discussing in this topic http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=32582.0

hi,

i was wondering where the HUGE spike on bitcoinmonitor.com comes from? According to bitcoin watch there are slightly less than 7m bitcoins in total and i see 6m + 3m + 1.5m + change being moved inside of 1 block, is that even possible?
