by recent more intensive adoption bitcoin started to hit some of its limits. I expect more problems in the future if bitcoin continues to get more and more new users aboard. It's still beta software and not prepared for large transaction volumes.
Intensive adoption? That is a nice way to spin satoshi dice spam.
Lol. As it is, devs are dragging their feet with the blocksize issue. And many feel that we'd need at least a year of notice before implementing a hard fork. With the current 0.7/0.8 issue, we're going to need a hard fork much sooner than that. Without SatoshiSpam dustcoin transactions, we have even LESS of an incentive to fix these problems (It is argued by many that raising the blocksize limit would help tx fees to price themselves in, making the SatoshiSpam unprofitable.)
So, personally, I'd RATHER have SatoshiSpam dustcoining the network because it gives us a reason to act sooner rather than later. If it wasn't SD it's be another website or a group of websites. So the fact that someone's doing it isn't the issue, it's the fact that doing it is profitable for various reasons. Sure, people should stop using it, and miners should delay or refuse to accept dust tx with no fees, but fixing these issues with the network is another part of the solution. Having a tiger chasing you is a really good reason to run ;-)
And with a 9 minute time before orders got through - not easy. And who knew - perhaps the panic would've brought the price even more down, and it would've stayed down for a while..
