I'm asking the OP if it is even possible to buy tokens on his vkcams chat site using cash? Not sure if he accepts bitcoins, but at least that would be possible to implement.

The irony.

Well let's not consider iron or copper which are not precious metals. What about platinum and silver? If all the platinum and silver in the world disappeared would the price of gold likely increase or decrease?

Even if Bitcoin remains #1 I can't help thinking that these alts are keeping the price down. I know a few guys at work who recently got into crypto currencies and they mostly started by buying ETH.

We all know that there is a hard limit to the number of bitcoins that could ever be minted. That limit is almost 21 million BTC (minus a few Satoshis). Long term holders hope that this limit will cause the values of their coins to go up considerably due to increasing demand.

However, there is no limit to the number of shit coins that can be invented. In fact the ETH shit coin now has a market cap that is of the same order of magnitude as BTC. Furthermore it is an inflationary coin.

If many people move their capital to these alts won't this negate the benefits of the 21 million BTC limit for Bitcoin holders?

What's this about pulling money out of a pool? Your coins are "returned" once the network forgets about your transaction. This happens when nodes stop re-broadcasting your unconfirmed transaction (by default 72 hours but it could be configured to anything).

Alternatively if you have a bitcoin client that allows you to double-spend you could also try to double-spend those coins with a higher fee. If that succeeds, then the previous transaction becomes immediately invalidated.

Yeah, you should say something at least once every two weeks, if you have the intention of eventually ranking up.

Of course at some point in the distant future Bitcoin will be worth 0. At some point in the distant future the earth will no longer exist too.

You should provide a time frame for your question in order to get more reasonable answers. Were you thinking of 1 year, 10 years, or 100 years down the road?

Although this is a good start $10m won't move the price much.

Big Blocks are not really bad in and of themselves. What's bad are those people who think that "Big Blocks = Scaling". It is not. Doubling the block size and getting 2x the number of transactions while suffering a quadratic increase in computational costs can hardly be called scaling. It is just an incremental improvement that you could make to the protocol as computing and network resources become cheaper and more abundant.

Yeah, those pump and dump groups make money front-running their own members. That is in addition to the membership fees. I think they are scum.

Too little collateral -> negative trust.
Too much collateral -> negative trust because you don't need the loan and therefore you must be trying to buy trust.

Sometimes it just seems that you can't win with the trust system. Not that I am looking for a loan or anything. I've got plenty of BTC.

How would you inconclusively prove that a reputation loan has taken place? You would need to know the intent of the borrower, and the last time I checked reading people's minds was not a science.

No, chmod 777 is a much more powerful solution to permissioning issues.

Or get business class AT&T if you like them so much. They don't block any ports on business class. For residential service they've already been blocking port 25 for a long time. It is not surprising that they are blocking 8333 as well, probably even mistaking it for a botnet command and control channel.

You need to make sure that the system is designed in such a way that miners' interests are aligned with the interests of most users'. This means that they should be able to compete with one another to confirm as many transactions as practically possible and they should be adequately rewarded for their efforts. If you try to change the rules to force miners to do more work for less then you might jeopardize this alignment.

Why don't you try running p2pool with their 30 second blocks? P2pool blocks (or shares) are essentially lower difficulty Bitcoin blocks used to measure your mining contribution. If you have a slightly slower connection than the other p2pool miners it is not uncommon for 50% of your blocks to get orphaned. Now 2 minutes is not as bad as 30 seconds, but you should not assume that the number of orphans would be insignificant.

3.2% of the US population is incarcerated, paroled or in probation. 3% of the forum have been banned. Are you also one of the 3-3.2% of the population who are in some kind of trouble?

If you check out the linked in profile of the Assistant US Attorney prosecuting this case:

it seems like she considers herself an expert in the following areas:


I suspect that the government is just testing the waters to see how far they can clamp down on Bitcoin traders and probably considers this Assistant US Attorney as the best and most motivated person to handle the case.
