However, sadly I couldn't get it to work with jetbrains website. It says confirmation email sent, but nothing shows up in the email.

Did you test any other student registrations?

Yes, microsoft and intel accepted the email. Amazon did not. Github also sent confirmation email but it never came.
I'm not from US, so maybe they check IP address and refuse service for US based university address to non US ip. I don't know.

I can confirm I have bought 3 accounts and OP delivered.
However, sadly I couldn't get it to work with jetbrains website. It says confirmation email sent, but nothing shows up in the email. Maybe it arrives in a day or two. I'll update this message if it does.

Thank you.

that's not the point, because a pool can easily reach that number, and it was proven in the past with ghash

and anyway if all chinese farm work together and merge their huge farm in the future, for whatever reason they could easily surpass 51%...

Could you, or somebody else, elaborate on exactly what such a collection of pools would do? I always read about the "dreaded 51% attack" possibility. What exactly would happen? Some kind of double-spend thing?

Are there any nefarious actions that would go undetected for a long period of time?

My simplistic view is that if the block-chain is being improperly manipulated it will eventually get detected. If that happens then there would be a massive loss in confidence of Bitcoin and the currency would essentially collapse as nobody would trust it's "value".

Is that the most dire outcome possible?
By having 51% of the hash power, the miner can do anything he wants with the blockchain.
-they can decide if a block gets into the blockchain or gets orphaned
-they can decide whether or not a transaction gets included in the blockchain by orphaning any block that includes it

The possibilities are endless. think of the exchanger X who is known to have 10k btc in their cold storage. Miner Y has 51% of the hash power of the block chain.
Miner Y puts X's addresses on a blacklist and won't include any transactions that have anything to do with those addresses in their blocks. furthermore,  they will orphan any block from other miners' if they include blacklisted transactions because, well it can. it has more hashing power than everyone else combined.
Miner Y contacts X and demands 2k btc to release the addresses from hostage status. exchanger X is forced to pay or wait until Y goes away or has less than 50% hash power.

Here's another way to profit:
short $200m worth of bitcoins.
Completely halt every transaction to be made so the btc value drops to < $1 within days
Release the blockchain and enjoy their $200m profit in their pocket

Re: Blocksize needs to be increased now.

I honestly fail to see the problem. Why is it important that there be only -one- true coin?
Bitcoin blocks are getting full. so what? fees will drive up. It's survival of the fittest.
Scalability problem was solved with altcoins, 5 years ago when litecoin launched. Those who cannot afford the bitcoin fee, always have the option to move to an alternative, cheaper blockchain.

Look at the real world history. People used to trade gold as a currency hundreds of years ago. When It became to scarce and hard to find, it's value raised dramatically.
So poorer people started using cheaper metals i.e. silver, copper to do their daily business and gold became a high value currency that only those who could really afford it would use.
Nowadays we use paper cash because it's the cheapest method.

The same principle should apply to crypto currencies.. Bitcoin is the gold. litecoin is the silver, [insert random non scam coin] is the copper, etc.
Those who want to make small transactions, can use the cheaper coin, so (1) they can move money for less fees and (2) remove the unnecessary clutter from bitcoin blockchain.
And there is nothing to limit the scalability. once litecoin blocks get full, bring on the next coin, Dark coin maybe? when that's full, move on to the next
Increasing the blocksize limit DOES have a scalability issue. You force everyone to use a big blockchain. but by splitting the blockchain into multiple coins, the rich will use the bitcoin(gold), middle class would use the litecoin(silver) and the poor would use the feathercoin (shit). they don't spam each others' coins, and they use the blockchain they can afford.

You don't have to deal with hardforking issues either. it's a win win win for everybody.

Actually, mtgox is already irrelevant in my eyes.
So i don't think the price won't move that much, maybe $400 at worst

Update: So after 20 days of waiting for an answer, I finally regained my access to my account.
Lucky me, all my coins are still there (All my money was in ltc).
I Changed my password and withdrew the coins to a cold storage for the moment till a safe exchange appears.

Well. If not used for a long time, It's dead. The only difference is it can be revived. However it does not have any influence in the market until it starts moving.
So... yeah
