There is no current competing currency that could scratch bitcoin. If a company like google came out though and implemented their own currency, exchange etc it could be a wild success.

That's the problem.

Just figure if Apple created its own iCoin: it would sell for 4x the price of Bitcoin from day 1! Grin

big lol

And did you not want to destroy all altcoins, in another thread?

How good that bitcointalk has a troll indicator.
Congratulations! you are the first at my ignore list

Yes, I did. That was the only way to save Bitcoin. Altcoins separate us. Now I stick to Bytecoin, all the others still should be destroyed.

It's not a scalability issue...

It is.

From https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2577:

Two motivations for this pull:

First, to discourage people from bloating users' wallets and the UTXO set with tiny outputs...

Second, we have no idea what will happen to Bitcoin prices or transaction volume / competition for space in blocks.

it's a little of both. what Jut was trying to say is that it's not a protocol-inherent, bitcoin-fatal scaleability problem, it's a scaleability problem with the current incentives given the recent activity in the blockchain.

i really don't see the fuss about this change, Gavin is NOT our 'king'. miners and users will settle this democratically, as always.

One more proof that I was right - WARNING! Bitcoin will soon block small transaction outputs.
As I said core devs failed to solve scalability issues.

It's not a scalability issue - it's a problem with externalized costs. In this case, current miners don't take the future cost of transactions into account when comparing transaction fees - mainly because they don't have a financial incentive to care. And the fix is a soft limit, which means those transaction will still be legal - you just have to find a miner who includes them. If you disagree with that change, get yourself some mining equipment and include them when finding a block. Or bribe a mining pool. It's not a dictatorship you know...

Also, transaction fee policies are a moving target and not really a core critierium for the bitcoin consensus model. There's no hard rule which defines how much transaction fee has to be paid. It's an mechanism to bribe miners...

Read the pull request. It really isn't that bad.

So IsDust() will be based on what is actually being accepted into blocks, and will adjust appropriately

It doesn't matter if it's bad or good. Core devs are unable to solve scalability issues. PERIOD

Mass worldwide adoption isn't going to happen...those who think it will are dreaming. But it doesn't really need to. People who want to use bitcoin still can use bitcoin.

IT ONLY HAS BEGUN!!!

In 4 years since the launch? U r kidding.

Lol - 4 years is a long time? Had you heard of the internet in 1994? - Most people had not.

It was not until 2000 - 2001 that the internet became big. 4 years is the beginning phrase bro.

I have a different opinion, bro.

Right, well that settles it.

More altcoins have appeared, people have started to criticize Bitcoin Foundation, Gox has been sued. Seems I was right...

For the love of Science, please state your sources! All I see are words in a particular order claiming something they don't back.

(Gox being sued is the only one I'm sure is legit)

[ANN] a new coin based on Litecoin - CHNCoin
[ANN] BitBar New POW-POS scrypt CryptoCoin
[ANN] GCoin release
JunkCoin, the newest Litecoin-based alt coin has arrived!
