That's exactly what I thought as well, why wouldn't you publicise it?

Was just buying on overclockers.co.uk - on the payment option noticed you can now pay in bitcoin.

No mention of this on their website, or on here as far as I can see.

Good news - slowly the adoption is spreading.

This may only be a small bug - It says its out-of-date when I've got the most recent version. Also when I downloaded it - and selected my OS (windows 8.1) there was no option to select the new version.

Deal completed smoothly using escrow.ms as an escrow.

Thank you Theraty and escrow.ms

Used for a 0.163 BTC escrow, very smooth and prompt payment. Would recommend to anyone and would use again.

But does it actually reduce the value? You could run the bitcoin network of 1 bitcoin, you would just have to keep making it smaller denominations. Likewise if you just 'lose' coins surely you get to a point where you just make it a smaller demoniation and the end state hasn't changed?
I don't foresee adding the lost coins back in, in 100? years time making a significant difference? if it was put to a vote? everyone agreed. Would it really affect the price? especially if you limited the amount of coins that could be bought back in per block?

Useful input - surely if the coins haven't been touched in 100 years it can't be counted as stealing - the way I look at it is that at the beginning, before most people here had even heard of bitcoin, people tried it for a while didn't really see it going anywhere and subsequently deleted/lost/no longer have access to wallet.dat with potentially 100's/1000's of coins.

That would no longer happen today, as the idea of bitcoin is publicised more, and people know its got worth. Look for example at the story of the harddrive in the landfill with ~6K (if i remember right) bitcoins in.


Okay point taken - but this irregular incentive would die down, as I believe, although people will always still lose coins there will be nothing like the amount that was lost at the beginning. Also could this be controlled by adding an artificial maximum added to the miners reward? so only x coins per block can be claimed from coins older that 100 years?

I know this has been discussed before - and I've read some of the old threads on it.

But how feasible is this to implement?

Say if you have coins that haven't moved for 50?/100? years - could you add them back into circulation? Via the miners - also potentially more incentive to keep mining? a Little bit of extra on top of the Tx fees?

I like the idea of having the Bitcoin client move coins every X years automatically to avoid you having to do anything and falling foul of the 50/100 year limit. And if you make the limit say 100 years no one could be saving for that long, so thereby almost undoubtedly meaning that the coins are lost.
Would this be a difficult change to add?

What are the disadvantages? vs what are the advantages?

I know you could theoretically have the bitcoin network with just 1 bitcoin but surely ensuring that lost coins are recycled if they are indeed lost, not too often (hence 100 years or so), is the best option?

Opinions?
