That's completely and thoroughly possible, and doesn't at all conflict with the way eBay operates. I'm not sure if users would accept it particularly readily though, there's other escrow services that require no trust in

I sincerely doubt it. PayPal is an escrow service, Bitcoin includes one in the protocol but it's by no means the easy user protection PayPal provides.

That was predictable, Bitcoin is a huge source of chargebacks and fraud. My bank had issues with people stealing online banking credentials and using them to buy Bitcoin, there's a bit of a blanket ban on that sort of service now I thi

No it did not. Bitcoin has trouble because there was a parameter in Berkeley DB that nobody thought would ever be hit (the number of locks associated with a particular table). They'd tested against this and believed the value to be eno

Yes. The author changed a value in an updated client that caused half of the network to see one chain as valid, and the other half to make scores of sub chains on the side. The value of the transaction was not the issue, but the developer n

Weren't idiots? They accidentally hard forked their own currency without realising what they were doing by changing a transaction limit. The developers have no idea what's going on and it's readily apparent. http://

Eh? The chain broke because the author made a hard forking change with 10 days notice. You can't do that. Bitcoin staged theirs over months and still managed to leave some people behind. It's not FUD if it's true.

It's not. It's identical with a slightly modified POW and some of the values tweaked. The incompetent developer has already accidentally broken the currency once, so it doesn't really bode well for it in the future.

If the price goes up you would have been better off just keeping your money in litecoin to begin with. There's no way you can win with this, that's why they're selling it.

I've never needed to have elective surgery, so I can't comment on that.
