Technically killing Bitcoin is possible, this could be achieved by simply forcing ISPs to block the 8332 port, this will kill Bitcoin, even if you would change the port this would create two forks and confusion and incompatibility between the new and old software.... it would be a whole mess and the end of Bitcoin as you know it.

Sure about that? I ran a full node with port 8332 blocked for about a year with no problems.

blocked... and full node!!! I will assume that you don't know what you are talking about.

You can buy a static IP and have the port open on your host.

Edit: where will you buy it from? what part of force ISP don't you understand ?

I think you don't understand what this would require either.

I'll explain. Joe Stalin was horrible for Communism. Bitcoin shills and zealots are horrible for Bitcoin.

Communism is horrible for communism. Even Marx envisioned certain preconditions that don't currently exist (and likely never will, thermodynamics being what they are)

Richy_T, you don't dig Communism, I get it. Not about Communism. You get the gist.

1) This is not "simple"
2) It wouldn't kill Bitcoin.
3) Experience shows the opposite effect of such action. (Turkey tried this with twitter).

The Bitcoin killer is a better Bitcoin.

1. Nodes using tor that wouldn't be affected.
2. Easy to change ports in the conf file.

It won't be that easy. Bitcoin works fine on other ports. All that is needed is one node that has a connection to both a node on port 8332 and another port for the forks to merge.

really!! and what do you think will happen if one node is connected to two forks ? let me break that down for you (Bitcoin 101) the client will always pickup the longer chain (this is how you 51% attack the network anyway) Wink

Im really amazed that few people are trying to sell their $300 coins for a quick buck. The stability at $330 is pretty damned impressive.

Anyone have some nice lines on a chart that might show when a breakout is due?

Fucking retard,
btw was going downhill , some guy sold 30k coins , now the market is a bit confused but we will go down much more because everyone is getting out of bitcoin.
Its the truth.

If "everyone" was getting out of bitcoin as you say the price would be a lot lower than $330! Cheesy

For those of us that have been around a little longer than a week or two there were similar comments when the price hit $60 last Summer.

Bitcoin is doing very well. The price will swing the other way fairly soon here I believe.

I wil printscreen this post and I will pm it to you when USA BANS BITCOIN.

If we can survive "China bans Bitcoin" and "Russia bans Bitcoin" we could even survive "USA bans Bitcoin." Cheesy

The thing about Bitcoin is that banning it really cannot stop it. Sure it can slow it down, but the only way to stop Bitcoin would be to ban the entire internet.
