hm? descartes has said something which falsifies your statement.

You could be the figment of someone else's imagination !

if you replace "someone else's" with "my", it works, though.

edit: although i vaguely remember his "self" is described as 2 different things. idk, read meditationes de prima philosophia.

Will since it's my theory that botnet will soon become self aware and create its own pools with millions of zombie pcs, my question is simple.  Does the bitcoin system have anyway to prevent this?

Some of the most capable minds working for IBM can make a computer that plays chess or Jeopardy very well.  We're a very long way from computers that have a true concept of self.  An ad hoc network put together by a bunch of people running open source software to compute SHA hashes is about as far away from self awareness as my toaster.

I don't see botnets as an issue, if they become too often there are ways to prevent them for pools (and if they begin using there own pools there could always be changes in the bitcoin client to prevent this).

What is killing mining for an average user is the hardcore users (obviously). I mean, the output from an average user in BTC no matter its worth is so ridicously low compared to someone that will own a whole mining server.

Dear god. I hope your trolling.

Thats why I keep my mining farm in a cage.

I though it was a faraday cage to avoid the EMP. Im confused now...

With some luck it won't evolve into skynet but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachikoma instead.

And what happens when it overtakes everyone else % wise?


Really just curious, seems millions of machines (just cpus, I'm sure GPus will be targeted eventually) would easily surpass all current mining, and since there is lots of motivation for the botnet to sell instantly at any price massive amounts of coin.. well you get the idea.. thoughts?
