Without going on with the almost certainly absurd claim you can be perfectly healthy, indefinitely, eating one shake.. There does seem to be a lot of interest, I think mostly from people interested in the saving of time and still getting go

Well the way to prune the blockchain is to store the merklehash only of all spent outputs if you can get a whole tree that has no spendable coins left. So if a bunch of old outputs all had their coins spent you can just prune that part of

not sure pruning the blockchain is really possible. most of the earliest coins are not even spent and many are likely lost; this was something satoshi may not have thought through completely as pruning the blockchain was something he speci

You might look to something like the silkroad for a case study; the guy(?) who runs that site is pretty active on the forums and would likely give you some time if he agreed with your mission (he has a strong anarcho leaning, I suspect he w

I have thought this as well. The fact that a bunch of exchanges all went down simulatenously and /r/bitcoin had a super-rare non-circle-jerky top-post (calling the bubble bursting), by a brand new member, gave me the impression that there

It is clear you are following the situation as closely as those "ignorant members of the bitcoin community"; as MtGox themselves are calling these DDoS attacks and have reasonable proof of such. It is also true that Gox's matching engine i

oh no! i read that wrong everytime. In my said it said "it takes you to send this payment". but yes, they have been taking pre-orders for like 9 months and people have been paying.

I think many were taking the gamble. What ended up happening is that a bunch of vendors who did not take the hedging canceled the orders. Since hedging doesn't protect buyers, the buyers just get their original btc back; this made a lot of

Deflation and volatility do not make bitcoin nothing more than "a lesson in basic economics for crypto-anarcho-libertarian-nerds". Contemporary dogma surrounding deflation is broken in multiple ways. The idea that deflation is bad is only

I wonder if this is related to the DDOS that has been off and on against the bitcoin exchanges.

Well it might not be possible for a decentralized crypto currency to have a non-fluctuating value; at least at the beginning. Since it is decentralized it cannot be declared "worth something" by fiat; and therefore needs to garner its valu

That paper you link to uses a trusted third party. I highly doubt you could run a 51% attack for any significant amount of time on $20MM. Consider the coins being mined everyday are worth ~500,000USD. That is not to say it is impossible,

If you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail, but bitcoin is probably a good place if you are willing to take anywhere near 40% risk of ruin. Bitcoin is like 102 right now, I'd say the chances of it hitting 120 within the year is easil

The whole beauty is that the people running the world don't have to be ready. Of course banks are worried. If bitcoin grows just two more orders of magnitude (how many has it grown so far?) It will become a serious threat.

There are a bunch of such widgets. mtgox has widgets, bitpay has widgets.. i am sure others do as well. (for the bitcoin side not the paypal side, which there are also countless widgets for)

The great thing about this industry is that you can build things on your own. It's tough if you are already having to put in 40+ hours a week just to get by; but if you have real skills you should be able to turn them into something profit
