Do you think we'll have another rally or is Bitcoin kinda just screwed now.

More likely it turns into what email has become, but for transactions, and occupies a somewhat small, stable niche.

Even though I am a newbie and wish I could start posting everywhere immediately, I think those restrictions are not quite hard enough..
From lurking on the other forums, it seems that there are still a ton of trolls..

Re: It's Over

All these people who keep saying "bitcoin is over" never define their terms..
What do you mean by "over"? It certainly couldn't be that the network has crashed, or that people have stopped using them (neither of those is true.)
Or by what standard was it "not over" previously, that has now changed?
It just doesn't make any sense to declare a distributed electronic currency like this "over." It almost can't be over.

Re: How do I know if I find a block mining solo?

If you are a person who is known to be unlucky, do not do solo. Pooling is the way to go.
If you are a person who is known to have good luck, go solo. You will earn more as your above average payoffs will not be divided among others.
If you have no idea about your luck or are typical, go with pooled mining.


This is technically untrue. There is no "luck" in probability.

Can you try to count what is the possibility to get a bloct when solo and hashrate is 800MHash/s ?

Yes, you should be able to make a cumulative distribution function of this probability. Wikipedia it, find the formula, plug n' chug.
