Let's make a small forum gamble game?
Everyone who have registered just post their own "spread the word" url. The next one who wants to register have to use this new adress. And so on.
Post your adress and earn coins :-)

Latium - a new coin - earning coins by spreading the word

Hey guys I just found which actually looks a little bit strange, but maybe for some of you very interesting.
The coin is "mined" when ever you spread the word. It's like a promotional program for crypto currencys for what you will get paid.
Ps: The coin is relative new and still very unknown. While it's based on a "as more you spread the word, as more you'll get paid campaign" you'll good benefits from beeing a early one. ;-)
However, not the most innovation coin but it should give us some fun in middle term, and even in longterm by the benefit every crypto currency earns by spreading the word.

Re: Who cares about the 45% Ghash.io have - will you care when they are at 51%?
I sincerely doubt ghash.io would destroy their own business by manipulating the market after reaching 51% of hashing power. It is likely they already have safety measures put in place.
do you know the ppl behind Ghash.io? ;-)

What do you think will happen to the price if Ghash.io continues their growing the next day?
anyways if ghash a pool or a company ? i always thought ghash was part of cex.io or what ever its called ?
yes they are. And that's why it's not enough when miner leaving their pool. ....they own the hardware.

There's probably too much money and power invested in the PoW infrastructure at this point for any real progress to be made. I appreciate what you're doing personally, but bitcoin is becoming an old dinosaur incapable of change or self criticism.
.....hmmm I see the self critcism everywhere. Not as much as it should be but it's still there.

I do think it's an issue and to be honest I'm not particularly impressed with Ghash's response, or lack there of.
Especially when you compare it to the quick and effective response of BTC Guild when they were in the 40% bracket.
Some people have speculated that Ghash has mining power that totals above 50% already but their mining it off pool in order to avoid attention. I'm not saying that's true, but if they did end up with over 50% of the hashing power that would seem like it would be the most rational thing to do economically speaking(if and only if the public had no knowledge of it happening).
>50% attacks are real and should be taken seriously by the community. Even the threat of one is enough to seriously harm bitcoin in the eyes of the public. I don't even want to imagine what sort spin these modern media companies would put on it.
I don't even mine in Ghash.io . IMO its not very good site, there are a lot better sites with great support than Ghash.io . Kindly, Muhammed Zakhir
jep, and the problem is, that Ghash.io own the hardware. There aren't so miner real miners. Most is done by themself

We need a usable p2pool software so that everyone starts mining. It's the only way, we need decentralized mining. We need it easy to install & configure, clean and with intuitive gui.
You still need ASICs do mine now through. And you can't expect everyone to purchase chips and boards that become outdated in two months.
The mining part of bitcoin has definitely veered off course from it's original intention.
yes. And think about what will happen in 5 years. Maybe only 4 companys will control it and beginning only to accept transaction from ppl who have a registered adress giving them from their gov.
....as more I think about these stuff....o_0
That's actually a really interesting hypothetical. I've never heard or thought of something like that before.
What would happen if the government did go after mining pools in someway? Forcing them to reject certain transactions. It could start with terrorism, or drugs, and then lead to who knows what.
I guess the easy answer would be to have mining pools operating out of friendly countries, but who knows how many of those, if any, there will be.
I'm not paranoid, nor do I think this is necessarily likely, but it's something that does not seem outside the realm of possibility.
As soon we became support from ppl who are normaly against things like what bitcoin stand for, it could be a confirm.

Re: Who cares about the 45% Ghash.io have - will you care when they are at 51%?
I believe the problem lies in many areas. More hashing power = more blocks solved = more money. Everyone is mining for money The pools that have decent hashing power where you can still make money but it averages out longer have shitty fees so people don't want to mine there. The ones that keep mining there do it for various reasons from loyalty to laziness to explore different pool options. The pools that have what I consider excellent terms have no hashing power yet and you might as well be solo mining. P2Ppools are good but might as well solo mining if you don't have much hashing power and have higher than 30 ms latency to the pool. Ghash took it to the next level by selling could mining and exchanging currencies as well as multipool profit. So any new pools or existing pools need to step their game up I believe. Some pools haven't updated their site since they opened as a pool years ago. When you make creative criticisms people tell you to go start your own pool. It's a circle jerk imnsho
one of the best comments I read!

Nearly nobody is discussing about that time Ghash.io hit that high level against.
Why? Isn't it a problem? ( remember 7th Janurary what happend to the price and what Ghash.io tolds us on 9th ....)

Re: Paypal (ebay) in banking blockade against wikileaks - please don't forget
Isn't this really old news? It's nothing new for paypal. If you dont like them just dont use them.
it's an really old news. I start this thread, that the bitcoin community won`t forget about it. Especially now, where ebay is such a hype in the bitcoin community. ....just to remember.
good point. But the truth is, that ebay doesn't help bitcoin. Bitcoin help ebay not becomming obsolet with paypal by not using it.
....and ebay. Who will use crypto there when not we? Why not using markets already accepting crypto. Because when we use it there more ppl will be interested in crypto. Maybe, but to do so we don't need bitcoin. Ebay just try to stay in the market. ....because what if ebay don't accept crypto and the bitcoin community is building there own stuff, like it's already happen. Why not only using there stuff? ....that would really helps bitcoin. In everthing else I see more a support for the old player. Player who didn't care about us in the past, and won't du it in future....
