Payment processors are the answer my mate.
You can also work with 'approved' addresses or something like that where a merchant trusts an address that has succesfully been used before.

It has been discussed over the years. Indeed what you state is the next step service providers can monopolies on.

However as Litecoin is another network that is used for payment at merchants and with the advent of scrypt asics that network will show more promise for fast stable transactions.

Bitcoin transactions are extremely fast, if you consider the slow banking system. The litecoin network may be faster, but it doesn't have such a large user base.

Trust me!
Yeah, it just doesn't make sense to scam someone for a more few dollars or euros!
You probably understand this, but just to emphasize for all those people who are still skeptical: it doesn't just not make sense, it's impossible. At least not without spending many, many thousands of dollars worth of resources, and then still only have a limited chance of success.

A merchant can accept Bitcoin zero-confirmation payments not just because his customers are such nice people that they won't scam him for a few bucks (or a few hunderd bucks). He can accept Bitcoin zero-confirmation payments because of how Bitcoin works.

Again, there's a lot of theoretical debate around this (I know Peter Todd mentioned a few tricks) but in daily practice, this is what it boils down to. Bitcoin works absolutely fine in point of sale situations.

Actually, if the merchant is running a simple BitcoinQT-like terminal you could try to connect to it with your Bitcoin node. Then you issue a transaction that pays for your coffee. But at the same time (or with a slight delay, some people wrote a paper) you issue a transaction to all other nodes (and mining pools) that spends the same Bitcoin (inputs), that paid for your coffee, to an address you control. Now the merchant thinks you paid for your coffee, but in reality it's the transaction that transferred the BTC to your own account, that gets confirmed and included in the Blockchain.
But there are ways of working around this. You have to simply look for transactions that are doing exactly this and don't accept them.

I have yet to see or hear of a merchant that doesn't require a minimum of at least 1 confirmation.    In theory,  it might not be needed,  at least if there is a sufficient transaction fee  to prioritize it.

However,  I believe  the merchants/processors are all practicing CYA / "better safe than sorry,"  and  requiring a minimum of   1 confirm,  for even the smallest transaction,  and  larger transactions/operaations generally requiring 4 or more confirms.
Are you kidding? For example here in Arnhem, there are plenty of places that accept Bitcoin, and *none* of them requires waiting for any confirmations.

Doesn't matter whether you pay for a cup of coffee, or hundreds of euros for a family dinner in a restaurant. Instant payment, NO confirmations needed whatsoever. That's the ones accepting Bitcoin directly, as well as the ones using a payment provider.

So far, thousands of euros worth of bitcoins has been spent, and exactly ZERO cents have been at risk / charged back / double spent.



Yeah, it just doesn't make sense to scam someone for a more few dollars or euros! You'd really have to control a lot of hashing power to perform such a double spend effectively. If the transaction has spread and most of the nodes accepted the 'real' transaction, you're most likely fine!

This point will be nonsense when bank bail-ins are triggered and people are locked out of their bank accounts for days or weeks waiting to see what remains. I purchased Bitcoin as a hedge against Fiat (Gold/Silver are the best store of wealth, however are not liquid enough). If 100% of my online purchases in the future are made via Bitcoin then I care not about how I pay for my groceries/petrol. At this point the network will be secure and Bitcoin will be a store of wealth and I no longer need to worry about counterparty risk.

This is a legitimate complain that my friends also make.
No it's not. Really, the complaint is simply not legitimate. Let them point out just ONE situation where paying with bitcoins requires you to wait for a confirmation. This 'problem' exists only in their imagination.

It's a scarce resource, deflationary in nature. Of course it's an intrinsic property. One could've predicted that before Bitcoin was even launched if Satoshi described the limited nature of the currency.

In fact, the earliest big investors DID correctly predict that reality. Today we call those people "smart money", and many of them are "Bitcoin millionaires".

They took a risk;  it appeared most probable at that time that a BTC would eventually be worth $0.   It is not a fundamental law that Bitcoin is deflationary.

In fact... right now;  it is inflationary  in the sense that new Bitcoins are still being added to the system.

Just because the supply is limited does not mean it will be deflationary, however.
This depends on the amount of economic activity, with regards to BTC changing hands,  which affects the supply and demand of BTCs.


I would like to point out  ---  that  not even 10 million  actual BTCs necessarily have to exist to support an annual GDP   of  10 billion BTC,   as long as  only consumers are using them and  merchants are not holding the BTCs;   the BTCs get sold right back to the exchanges,  and effectively, the exchanges eventually start working like central banks...

So a merchant would generally only wait for confirmations for large transactions. For small transactions it is enough to detect the transaction is in the network, i.e. more or less instant.

I have yet to see or hear of a merchant that doesn't require a minimum of at least 1 confirmation.    In theory,  it might not be needed,  at least if there is a sufficient transaction fee  to prioritize it.

However,  I believe  the merchants/processors are all practicing CYA / "better safe than sorry,"  and  requiring a minimum of   1 confirm,  for even the smallest transaction,  and  larger transactions/operaations generally requiring 4 or more confirms.

Perhaps in the future,  buyers will acquire some sort of  insurance card or  "performance bond"  requiring a small deposit with a trusted third party  reputation service  to demonstrate to the merchant    who will   publish the buyer's  "Wallet Address"  in a merchant-accessible database of bonded addresses.

And the merchant will treat payments from listed addresses as immediately confirmed, based on their reputation.

However if the buyer double spends in less than 48 hours,  and the merchant   can later demonstrate that   they were given a signed transaction  which not get confirmed, by submitting a copy;   the buyer will be alerted  and given a short time to settle up.

E.g.  5 days  to replace the double spent transaction  before their reputation status is suspended, deposit is taken to pay the merchant,  and they get a bill in the mail  in the amount of an agreed upon "penalty".

This is a legitimate complain that my friends also make. But what they don't get tho, is the fact credit card opperations don't get confirmed instantly per se and no one ever questions credit card operations. At least with Bitcoin you can keep track of your operations in an open source fashion (blockchain). With credit cards you are just trusting they don't fuck shit up.

Just explain to them that credit card companies are payment processors and bitcoin uses payment processors with merchants anyway, so there's not much difference here except bitcoins are both faster and cheaper.

 Cheesy almost 6 connexions per second ... in this last debuglog.
at this time with bitcoin core ... you can't emit double-spending.

corrupted pool can ... to his clients only (reward payment for mining job).

Or is this what payment processors do already and we are talking about something quicker here?

Just curious has anyone looked at the other coins, and why are some stating HIGH security even more than BTC or same + MUCH faster transaction times... I just don't get it, cant we just implement the same thing? Many test coins around.

here is a debuglog of what a bitcoin core work on "delete" transactions :

The important thing about this is that Bitcoin confirmations will rapidly outpace the speed with which fiat confirmations are achieved.
