Is it recommended to delete your blockchain and download a fresh one even if it works just ok with your current one? It would be pretty annoying since it's very slow to download the whole thing, but even then, im pretty paranoid and i want a correctly working blockchain.
I don't think so. Why should you? What I understand is that blockchain issues should only be expected when downgrading.

Given the feature list the new version seems to be really a major improvement. Great work!
I'm a bit hesitant to update right away though, because there are so many changes some bugs might only be discovered after public use...

Re: Do you think 1.00 BTC will worth more than $10,000.00 USD at any time in 2015?

That target is too high for 2015. Maybe $ 3,000 can be reached in best case.
I guess, we will see $ 10,000 not before 2017. Huge gains need time.

Re: The Future of Bitcoin is Biometric authentication and identification
Your biometric information generates a key tied to your wallet. QRcode is replaced or exists alongside your biometrics. This is coming. A company like blockchain.info is surely looking at this. Adoption rate will soar through the roof when wallets are inexplicably tied to identity. Everything falls into place.
I never even quoted you. What are you talking about?
Is that post in the correct format for this thread?
I is, I believe a complete sentence followed by another sentence, which is in question form, is it not?
I didn't know there were strict rules for this thread? Was the sentence before this sentence even a question or was it just a statement with a question mark?
Why do you think that lamenting about rules, sentences, statements, and question marks will help the cause?
But if one wants to beg for it, why not let him do so? It does not hurt anyone and there is no guarantee he will be successful.
If one person is allowed to beg, everyone is allowed to beg, forum gets filled with crap. Nothing is added by begging, it's just clutter in the way of real discussion... like about why begging is bad.
The amount of begging will self-regulate according to its expected success rate. The success rate will diminish with more people begging. So I do not see a problem here.
"Crap" is a subjective attribute.
So is "value".
Of course. We are observing it right here, right now...

What about the risk of NOT investing? Opportunities like this may never come up again in our lifetime.
Well said!
Most people do not realize that to do nothing (not investing) has also some risk attached to it. I think in these times we live in with all the economic uncertainty it becomes more probable that a conventional value preservation strategy (putting the bills under the pillow) will get punished.
