why would any government adopt a currency it doesn't control?

why would any government not just make their own coin if they were going to adopt a crypto-currency?

if you're a tiny enough country to consider bitcoin you would probably only be able to field enough hashrate to end up in auroracoin territory

but yeah if any relevant country decided to back a cryptocurrency there's no reason for them not to do their own

I really enjoy when a bitcoiner finally gets his normie friend to use bitcoin and then they expect some sort of exponential growth like they'll get all of their friends and friends' friends to use the most technologically complicated and inconvenient way to use money ever

put yourself in the shoes of a prosecutor trying to build a case against you. what evidence could they pin on you? there is nothing on your laptop for them to use, if you obscure your bitcoins propperly, there is no way for them to trace them back to me.

It has a processor and it would be nice to make money whilst I jog, also it has no electricity cost so surely that will make up for the small size of it ? how much per mile do you guys think? if this works it could also work very well for charity in marathons !

e: the bitcoin mining subreddit has plenty of these

How bad would one of those WiFi SD cards that run Linux be for mining?

Is there a way I can figure out how much money I can make mining using just one raspberry pi 2 if I have free electric?

No because it makes certain assumptions which are not true about the bitcoin community. Namely, the assumption that any form of vertebrate breeding is going on within.

GHash.IO and double-spending against BetCoin Dice

quote:

Like a month ago, in September I witnessed a lot of double-spending against BetCoin Dice. It happened between 25th and 27th Sept.

The mechanism was simple: send betcoin a tx wit 0 fee, then wait for a result tx, if your bet is a win, then confirm your tx, otherwise double-spend it.
