I wonder how QR codes will work with a webapp. I know iPhones can now upload images from camera roll, but does the API allow access to the camera stream for QR reads?

As aianus said, credit cards can easily be free! (pretty sure merchants are the ones who pick up the bill for that privilege) You are right that the international transfer of bitcoin is very useful - but to say there are no commission or fe

i agree with you in principle, however i still think there is a flawed economy behind all this. as long as i have $$$ and can spend them, why would I used BTC if the value of BTC is going up X% each month... I am better off using fiat. at

it is true that more attention is good, however it is getting attention for the wrong reasons. It isn't getting attention because people are using bitcoin as a currency, rather an investment hoping for the capital gains. I have seen co

I am pretty confident that stuff like this does more harm to the bitcoin community than good. It further encourages anyone remotely involved to sit on their coins and not use them. The only way something like bitcoin can flourish is if the

In other news, the majority shareholder in <insert company here> says their share price will sky rocket by 300% in the next six months... you should buy shares immediately. Since the twins are so heavily invested, there is no way they

I thought that 99% of the images included in emails for tracking purposes are single pixel transparent GIFs - so no biggie in working out which ones those are...

I too was fooled by this line, I did a CTRL+F for iPad on the page and nothing came up so I thought it must be a joke... then I saw the apple app of the year logo and got confused...

localbitcoins.com is always pretty good as long as you choose a safe payment method... i.e. not paypal or something easily reversible.

If they successfully push the price up 250% losing out on trading fees is a cost of doing business...

What I was alluding to was if you and I both held 100,000 BTC for example, and we wanted to push up the value of BTC so facilitate a sell off in the future... because of our large holding it shouldn't be too hard for us to accept a los

I understand that argument that the author is making, however why does that make what Microsoft tweeted incorrect? Why is it incorrect of them to ask people what their favourite font is? Perhaps they intended for the people to respond to t

"nobody has inside info" It is not known who are making all the trades, wouldn't it be possible that a small group of large bit-coin holders are simply trading between each other in an effort to inflate the price... they have

I would like to have seen a couple more tests done with PHP rather than just the one. I've been looking into Node.js lately and have wanted to see direct comparisons between the two - I currently use PHP mainly.

What happens when the honest miners fluke it and solve a block early, before the dishonest miners decide to publish theirs...? Wouldn't this ruin any and all gains the honest miners have, nulling all the blocks they have mined 'ah

Also, I think it is in their best interests if the community buy into the idea. Rather than if they mine everything and horde it all.

If the exchange rate does hit $400 or $500 imagine how many more people will jump on board with the idea that only 3 months earlier bitcoins were $50... further driving up the difficulty when those newcomers buy rigs trying to strike it big

I guess it was always to be expected that this was going to happen, I don't think people realised just how quickly. Once the whole idea of bitcoin being a money maker was popularised people jumped on board. I am wondering if, and when,

Unless someone stole his private key. I am sure there are already virus and malware out in the wild which target private keys. Offline wallets are the only way around this - but eventually the user will need to use their private key to move

You might also get lucky that the value will increase throughout the process - it might also drop. With WU and XE and other exchanges at least you have certainty of the final converted amount you will end up with.

haha that isn't what I meant, I was pointing to it not being a systemic issue with older iPhones... however if what @hrrsn says is true then it does sound like it is a big issue. I wonder if there are any specifics that lead to the wif
