yes. but visa cards are intended for commercial purchases. Like checks use to be. Paypal lets you do ACH over the internet. but relatively few people use wire transfers to buy a McChicken and Shamrock Shake or a game on steam
I guess the bitcoin group could always change things to allow more transactions per block.
Right! and there's various schema to do just that which was why I couched my criticism in that caveat. However, they can't seem to decide on that.
My best guess is that with the rise of bitcoin futures (starting next week!) there will be a secondary trading market where you could just sign contracts for bit coin transactions outside of bitcoin. These would be debt obligations not actuall money transfers. But as we saw from CDO's on mortgages these are tradable. TO be specific say you have 1000 BTC. You go through some brokerage house to officially create a contract giving that to boeing in return for a used 727. Thus boeing has a document saying you owe them 1000 BTC. you have not given them 1000 BTC, but you are legally in indebted. Now Boeing can sell that debt obligation to rolls royce to buy new engines. this is exactly what happens with mortgages.
So with the rise of a liquid secondary market for bitcoin denominated obligations there may be no need to actually transact bitcoins directly except every now and then to pay interest on debts.
I wasn't trying to say it compars favorably to VISA cards. indeed I was saying it compares unfavorably. the figure i used, 3% is actually an upper bound on the transaction expense. IN reality VisaCards are less than that for most large transactions. plus all the other advantages you list.
500E3/24/6 = 3472 per ten minutes. Now nothing says BTC has to close at ten minutes, that's just it's threshold where a dificulty adjustment occurs. When the price rises more miners come on line and the rate of hashing increases. So for a while it's above 2000/ ten minutes. but then the adaptive algorithm kicks in and assumtotes back to that. so 3472 is quite beleivable as would 4000 for a transient peak.
The interesting thing is that the real story seems to be missed entirely. Everyone wonders if it's a bubble or if the valuation is too high. That's not the problem. Bit coin is, in its present algorithmic configuration, doomed by it's algorithmic desgin features. Perhaps it will change but there's two flaws of which I will point out one here.
1. Roughly 2000 transactions can be rolled up into each hash completion event. And by design the system equilibrates towards a difficulty where it take 10 minutes for a hash completion to occur. This means that when this becomes popular it becomes hard to directly record more than 2000 transactions (less due to over heads on side transactions) every ten minutes.
That merely makes it slow. But when it becomes oversubscribed in demand for transactions then people pay bounties to get their transactions at the top of the queue. Right now that bounty is about $20 per transaction.
let's compare this to a visa card. A visa merchant might pay 3% for the service. thus on a $666 transaction you would pay 3% or a $20 fee.
Ergo, for any transaction less than $666 bitcoin is ludicrously expensive.
thus it is slow, expensive and unsuited for ordinary purchases. It could be used to move large sums of money but not simple transactions or even micropayments.
I beleive it is this, not the valuation of the coin that makes bit coin doomed.
We saw the first high visibility retreat the other day when Steam stopped taking bitcoin.
If they do publish fees or caps then in principle the FTC can hold them to it. Thus all a competitor needs to do is to say that Comcast's average fee is over $100 a month. They can let that be the regining belief or they can publish their own rates.
I see GTX 1080s and High end radeons in both laptops and large well ventilated 4U boxes. Are these the same performance? How is this possible given all the fans and larger area of the PCI slot cards? if not how come I don't see some discussions of this?
Is this confined to Canada or did it leak to other companies? 1.6Million sounds like a small number of accounts. But as we saw with Yahoo, breach reporting tends to be an underestimate.
Paypal is my most dangerous account since it's hooked to live bank accounts so I use my best passwords for it.
In general opt-out is problematic. Most people don't do it then the vendors say "see no one wants to opt-out", making it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Now imagine you charge them or limit their options to some expensive computer models if they want to opt-out. That's not going to work.
And the basic problem here is that it's not me that I'm worried about it's, collectively, everyone else. The same logic as getting a Flu shot. THe herd immunity protects you more than the flu shot you just got.
I want everyone else to have a secure computer. And not just so they aren't mailing me trojans in cat pictures or attacking me across the network, But also so they aren't attacking my bank or DDOS-ing netflix when I'm watching Game of thrones.
I have another suggestion. Putting a roadster into orbit on any planet is going to fill up the orbit path with debris. It would be a much better idea to just crater it into mars.
conflating art and the artist leads to grief and idolatry. We'd practically have to burn every great painting otherwise, those sad lechers. It's a shame about Spacey but that doesn't lessen how he might have moved you with his performance. As Neil Young once sang "[Where] Even Richard Nixon has got Soul".
It was a collaboration, but I can't tell you that because... Keyser Soze. I know you doubt me; the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing us he doesn't exist. I figure somehow this hurt the Hungarians.
puttng a kill switch in a bug is trivial. really really trivial. I've done it so I know. Lots of people do it.
the problem is making the kill switch not get edited out in future generations. I see that some of my bacteria have mutated out there's in a few generations. there was no selective pressure to do this either. So they are rare in the population 1 in millions. But as soon as I apply selective pressure all the other ones dies and those are the ones left.
I seriously doubt that strictly on a milage basis this is cheaper than rail. Rail is incredibly efficient. And for that matter you could electrify rail the same way.
Where rail breaks down is the last mile. Rail works out of depots. SO you need to offload these onto trucks in the end.
plus then there is the crew size. it take a couple people to drive an entire train. But it would take one driver per semi.

perhaps they should have a button that allows you to make a binary choice between:
would you prefer:
maintain balanced quality of service as your battery degrades or accelerate the battery and possibly court a battery-swell fire?

THey need a union. that's what unions are for.
That's all I'll pay to you.
