Images are working fine for me and I have noscript, adblock and a slew of other addons that cause problems like that so it must be something else... Anyways this is certainly huge news regardless of what side of the argument you are on. I'm surprised to hear that KnC has only 4% of the network at th...
I've just watched an interview between Greg Hunter of USA Watchdog and Hugo Salinas Price. I really think Greg has a great channel and he gets a lot of things spot on. He sees the correct problems (in my opinion) developing in the traditional financial markets and he shares well-researched perspect...
I'm glad that some kind of consensus could be arrived at I predict these plans might change but at least there are plans now, and a lot of really smart people are on board this time.
I'm having trouble understanding, so this is a lottery where 1 out of 600 tickets is a winner, and the money left over from the 599 that don't win is used to trade (by you / your partners) to attempt to make a profit day trading. Then, any profit from the day trading is returned to the pool of peopl...
I had a terrible experience at Burger King when they wouldn't accept the gift card that I bought from Gyft with Bitcoin, so I'm glad they might start just accepting it straight now.
Moving to an area with cheaper electricity must have been unfeasible? Of course not. You could put a lot of asic machines in a 40 ft container. And shipping is cheap just ask the baltic dry index. Knc owns their datacenters so that would be a write off but if your servers make money in one place an...
As someone who signed up with Alcor back in 1999 or 2000, I'm very glad to hear this. I wonder what other prominent Bitcoin people are also Alcor members. You can also pay your yearly dues to Alcor with Bitcoin! wow, in 2000? alot of foresight, even today it is like science fiction :) . hopefully H...
The same company that worked with Alcor to preserve people like Hal Finney has received the Brain Preservation Foundation Prize meaning that the scientific community has finally accepted the process of life preservation to be a real possibility. Their blog post: http://www.alcor.org/blog/alcor-posit...
Ha! Sharing uber accounts like netflix accounts I love it. Obviously wrong, just very interesting to me the similarities between stealing an online and "in person" account. 2fa might be too much for most of the normies, but shouldn't the driver be checking that you have the same picture as the perso...
If you trusted the merchant I think you could use a paper wallet, that could obviously also be stolen though. The kiosk would need to be very secure so that it isn't stolen from the merchant as well it sounds like. The best solution I can think of would be for the merchant to allow customers to pay ...
At this point though, it seems as if some third party force has dammed the rivers of core development at least in the direction of scaling solutions. Yes, the bullies walked in and now we must send them on their asses ;) I mean, people have always been getting paid to troll the forums and reddit (I...
Bitcoin development reminds me a lot of the Debian project's release / including new software in repos process. Very slow and very well thought out so that nothing breaks. At this point though, it seems as if some third party force has dammed the rivers of core development at least in the direction ...
I think we can all agree (except luke-jr and I don't fully understand his smaller block argument so I will leave it alone), that 2MB is a non-radical change that will not kill Bitcoin :) I've personally tested (when I was working on another project) blocksizes of 10MB with full blocks and anyone wit...
