Re: HOW to avoid the FALSE "your IP posted too soon" error
not sure if the newbie restrictions are worse then I understand them to be. So many complaints have come to my attention recently about the ip error msg leads me to wonder if they are having problems I didn't or just don't recall.
I'm going to go with yes. I think this isn't gong to happen for a very long time. Many things to be considered for this to happen but I can't see why it would be out of the realm of possibility.
when I began reading I didn't understand how you could call this news. Now I get it haha that is a good bit of coins to put up for a single bet.
MRLYKE, Did you say he made it rain 10k after he lost hahaha.

kickingcoin,
The mining computations are not computing anything useful beyond the bitcoin network, but they are necessary for the whole thing to work. As you know, bitcoin network is a so-called peer-to-peer network, where there are a lot of nodes, which can freely join or leave the network at any time, and no one is more authoritative than others.
Without those computationally difficult calculations, it would be technically possible that some "dishonest" node will join the network, running with the modified version of the bitcoin software, trying to generate some "fake" transaction, which would for example steal money from other address, etc. The mining prevents this from happening, because the dishonest node can't simulate the proof, that mining work was being done, so the other nodes knows that that transaction is fake and should be ignored.

That makes sense, now I get a better grasp of how it works. Good question and good talk, I'm glad we did this.
While I am waiting for authorization to post on this topic in the general forum, I thought I would share my experience. On November 13th, 2013, I sent bitcoins to this scam site located out of Hong Kong, of course not knowing that they were bogus. Since then, it has been confirmed that they were indeed a scam, and upon further information from Coinbase, I have tracked the address through blockchain and found that this guy made off with almost $1,000,000 USD worth of BTC. Needless to say, there are many of us who are seeking criminal prosecution in this matter and have already started the ball rolling with the Hong Kong Police Department. I would like to suggest that any people who had a similar experience join up with us and go to all necessary lengths to see this person prosecuted and possibly recover lost funds (not likely, but worth a shot).
Very sorry for loss and others that had their funds there. Hope you get a lot of people together and take him to court. Good luck and keep us posted on the progress.
I know when I signed up at Vircurex.com I had trouble finding a code. With a referal code you save 0.05% per trade. Anyway, If you need one, the code is: 260-146
Also a referal link: https://vircurex.com/register?referral_id=260-146
If you like trading Altcoins, it does offer more options and coins then any other site.

Hmm I do believe I'll be putting this code to work for me in the future. Many thanks for the code Rejinx it is appreciated.
Re: coinbase made a 14000$ charge on my card with no bitcoin-15 day no reply
I hope you get the money back fast. That is a long time to wait with no response what so ever. I commend you for your patience. Not so sure I would have handled it the same way u did haha.
Re: [WTB] 10 Bitcointalk Accounts; not for scamming purposes
hmm this is kinda low of an offer for me also. I'm thinking you can have my account for .285 BTC. If this offer interests you then you can pm me and we can discuss this in detail.
Re: 2013-12-11 DealBook NY Times: Bitcoin Believers See a Role for Wall Street
Can't get better then this if you ask me. Wall Street is what I call a serious player lol...
Kind of a good sign from my point of view. I could be overstating it but hey I don't yet see how one can consider this a bad thing.

Re: Any coin that replaces Bitcoin will use the Bitcoin blockchain.
Well this is deep and makes my mind tickle a bit. You make a great case and I cannot find a fault in your argument at this time. Kind of gutted right now that I didn't get in on the last rally but what are you gonna do it is what it is.
Re: JPMorgan’s Monopoly Money: IP Analysis of USPTO App 20130317984
Thank you very much for the post. I look forward to diving into the articles for the full picture of what JPM is trying to pull. Good to know there isn't any progress thus far.
Re: Quarkcoin planned on Dec 13th to be added on btc38.com - OFFICIAL

Should work but I suggest looking for "bitcoin fund raises" then looking to the right and taking the poll. I suggest doing the search instead of using the link as you can see that the link has some unique identifiers in it.
Thanks to the speculation forum user "wachtwoord" for finding this and raising it!
Oh well A for effort anywho... Should work but I suggest looking for "bitcoin fund raises" then looking to the right and taking the poll. I suggest doing the search instead of using the link as you can see that the link has some unique identifiers in it.

Go team bitcoin!
I'm a fan of this proposal. I think this would be helpful for many of us here. Been looking for a good group buy but haven't even begun to look around because I feel sort of overwhelmed by the digging I will need to do.
Yes this is exciting news. I can't wait till this is the normal kind of news and nobody even bats an eye about it. Then we will be seeing some serious adoptions across the board I have no doubt.
