Wtf bit coins? XD how about we switch to using trash as currency, I guarantee no one would go broke xD except for people with garbage phobias xD

As I understood, is another way of earn money without bank regulations but seems too risky because every transaction and the balance is saved in a single .dat archive.

thats why you backup your side often and keep it safe

you can "earn" them by mining too. the system has miners verify transactions and every once in awhile give a reward.

Anyways, it seems lacking of security if the transactions are public, having lot of eyes on them and taking off portions of these bitcoins for each transaction checking.
But I don't know if this would be useful in the future if someone decides to open commissions for bitcoin portions in exchange (because as I understood reading the blogs, the system works buying or paying with portions, not with the entire thing).

i'm confused when you say "entire thing".
also "peer to peer" is roughly the same as a torrent or how most big corp game companies handle updaters. it'll happen in parts and when its all assembled, the program packages it and sends it to proper destination, still encrypted but "solved" as far as a transaction goes and miners care.

The entire bitcoin (with 99 usd value at date)refered as the entire thing. Anyways, is just an experimental currency, let's see how it evolves.

you can send decimal amounts. preferably greater than 0.1

mind you, the price (in usd) is going up steadily >.>

As I read it, is because the circulation increased with the actual situation in Europe.

thats not just europe but thats old news now. the article stated november.

Steve Gibson talked about the technology behind bit coins in his Security Now podcast (transcript at http://www.grc.com/sn/sn-287.htm about halfway through the document)

Last week it was mentioned that the US Treasury dept gave it a thumbs up, and said "So, interesting publication came out on the 18th, from the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. And if you just Google "FIN-2013-G001," it's the first link that comes up, FIN-2013-G001. What you get is a PDF about Bitcoin."

If you're not a geek, you may not want to dive head first into all of this, but it's there if you want to read it. They also mention a website you can go to and find out how secure a website (like your bank, for example) is, or isn't.

Reminds me of that BitCash thingy were you have pay money to get the digital money and use it to buy stuff... like erotic doujinshi off of Digiket...
