<h2 class="homepage-title page-title">Bitcoin P2P Virtual Currency</h2><br />
<br />
Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency. Peer-to-peer (P2P) means that there is no central authority to issue new money or keep track of transactions. Instead, these tasks are managed collectively by the nodes of the network. Advantages:<br />
<br />
<ul><br />
<li>Bitcoins can be sent easily through the Internet, without having to trust middlemen.</li><br />
<li>Transactions are designed to be irreversible.</li><br />
<li>Be safe from instability caused by fractional reserve banking and central banks. The limited inflation of the Bitcoin system’s money supply is distributed evenly (by CPU power) throughout the network, not monopolized by banks.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<br />
Bitcoin is an open source project currently in beta development stage. Development is hosted at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/">SourceForge</a>.<br />

<br />
Using Bitcoin:<br />
<br />
For the first hour or two the block count will increase rapidly as the block chain is received.<br />
<br />
Turn on Options->Generate Coins to contribute your idle CPU time to the network. Bitcoin runs in the background when your computer is idle and should not slow down other programs.<br />
<br />
The total eventual circulation will be 21 million bitcoins. There will never be more coins than that. The coins are entering circulation gradually, at a steady pace over many years, to nodes supporting the network in proportion to the CPU time they contribute. With the current total CPU power on the network, most CPUs will usually take months between successfully generating 50 BTC.<br />
<br />
You can get a few free bitcoins from the <a href="http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/">Bitcoin Faucet</a>. If Bitcoin is running when you receive a transaction, you can see it immediately, otherwise it may take 10 minutes or more after it was sent, and all blocks need to have finished downloading. As of December 2010, there are 97000 blocks.<br />
<br />
To receive incoming connections, set your firewall to forward port 8333 (TCP) to your computer. This increases the number of nodes you can connect with.<br />

<h2 class="homepage-title page-title">Bitcoin: P2P-криптовалюта</h2><br />
<br />
Bitcoin - это основанная на системе peer-to-peer цифровая валюта. В сети peer-to-peer (P2P) нет центральной организации, которая "печатает" новые деньги или отслеживает все транзакции. Эти задачи выполняются коллективно, всеми узлами сети. Выгоды такого подхода:<br />
<br />
<ul><br />
<li>Простая передача денег через Интернет без необходимости доверять посредникам.</li><br />
<li>Никто не может заблокировать ваши транзакции.</li><br />
<li><strong>Переводы денег посредством Bitcoin практически бесплатны</strong>, в то время как кредитные карты и системы онлайновых платежей обычно берут комиссию в 1-5% от суммы каждого перевода + дополнительные торговые затраты (которые могут достигать несколько сот долларов).</li><br />
<li>Отсутствие нестабильности, которую вызывает банковская мультипликация (fractional reserve banking) и политика центральных банков. Инфляция Bitcoin ограничена и распределяется поровну (по мощности процессора) на всю сеть, а не монополизируется банками.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<br />
Bitcoin - это проект с открытым исходным кодом (open source), созданный Сатоши Накамото. Текущая версия сейчас находится в стадии beta и расположена на сервере <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/">SourceForge</a>.<br />

<br />
Использование Bitcoin:<br />
<br />
В первые несколько часов счетчик блоков будет быстро увеличиваться - клиент будет скачивать существующую цепь блоков.<br />
<br />
Включите флажок Options->Generate Coins, чтобы выделить часть вашего процессорного времени на попытку создать новые монеты. Bitcoin работает в фоновом режиме в то время, когда ваш компьютер простаивает, поэтому не должен замедлять работу других программ. "Генерация" монеты может занять несколько месяцев, так что будьте терпеливы. Чем больше простаивает ваш компьютер, тем больше у вас шансов сгенерировать новые монеты. <br />
<br />
Итоговое количество денег в системе Bitcoin не может превышать 21 000 000 монет. Когда этот предел будет достигнут, генерация новых монет прекратится. Монеты вводятся в циркуляцию постепенно, на протяжении множества лет, раздаваясь узлам, поддерживающим сеть, пропорционально затрачиваемому ими процессорному времени. С учетом сегодняшней вычислительной мощности сети, обычным узлам потребуются месяцы, чтобы сгенерировать 50 BTC.<br />
<br />
Вы можете получить немного монет из <a href="http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/">Источника Bitcoin</a>. Если Bitcoin запущен, вы сразу же увидите перевод, иначе это может занять 10 или более минут после отправки, пока скачаются все блоки. На май 2011 года существует уже 124 000 блоков.<br />
<br />
Для того, чтобы получать входящие соединения, вам может понадобиться открыть порт 8333 (протокол TCP) в вашем брандмауэре (firewall).<br />
<br />
Bitcoin может быть использован с Tor с командной строкой:<br />
bitcoin -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050<br />
<br />
Если вы хотите остаться анонимным, будьте осторожны: не раскрывайте информацию, которая может связать ваши адреса Bitcoin с вашей личностью и используйте отдельный адрес Bitcoin для каждого платежа, который вы получаете.<br />

<h2 class="homepage-title page-title">Bitcoin P2P Criptodivisa</h2><br />
<br />
Bitcoin es una divisa digital basada en una red punto a punto (P2P). Punto a punto (P2P) significa que no hay una autoridad central que emita nuevo dinero o registre las transacciones. Sin embargo, estas tareas son realizadas colectivamente por los nodos de la red. Ventajas:<br />
<br />
<ul><br />
<li>Transferir dinero facilmente mediante Internet, sin tener que confiar en intermediarios.</li><br />
<li>Terceros no pueden prevenir o controlar sus transacciones.</li><br />
<li><strong>Las transacciones de Bitcoin son practicamente gratuitas</strong>, mientras que los sistemas de pago online o con tarjetas de credito cuestan entre un 1-5% adicional junto con otras comisiones adicionales, elevando la cantidad de dinero a pagar.</li><br />
<li>Permanezca a salvo de la inestabilidad causada por las reservas bancarias y las malas politicas de los bancos centrales. La inflación limitada de la oferta monetaria del sistema Bitcoin se distribuye de manera uniforme (por CPU) a través de la red, no monopolizada por los bancos.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<br />
Bitcoin es un proyecto open source creado por Satoshi Nakamoto, y actualmente se encuentra en un estado beta de desarrollo. El desarrollo de Bitcoin se encuentra en <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/">SourceForge</a>.<br />

<br />
Usando Bitcoin:<br />
<br />
Entre en Opciones->Generar monedas para conseguir unas cuentas mientras ayuda a expandir la red. Bitcoin se ejecuta en segundo plano cuando su ordenador no tiene tareas y no deberia ralentizar otros programas. Puede tardar dias en generar un moneda satisfactoriamente, sea paciente. El tiempo varia y depende de los tiempos de CPU con los que usted contribuya. <br />
<br />
El total de monedas en circulacion en Bitcoin sera de 21.000.000 monedas. Nunca habra un numero superior a este. Las monedas entran en circulacion de manera gradual, a un ritmo constante, en los nodos en proporcion al tiempo de CPU con el que contribuyen.<br />
<br />
Para recibir conexiones entrantes, necesita configurar su firewall para redirigir el puerto 8333 (TCP) a su ordenador. Esto incrementa el numero de nodos a los que se puede conectar.<br />
<br />
Bitcoin puede usarse mediante Tor con la linea de comandos:<br />
bitcoin -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050<br />
<br />
Si desea permanecer en el anonimato (bajo seudonimo, en realidad), tenga cuidado de no revelar ninguna informacion que vincule su direccion Bitcoin a su identidad, y utilice una direccion Bitcoin nueva por cada pago que usted reciba.<br />

<li>&Uuml;berweisungen k&ouml;nnen von Dritten nicht kontrolliert oder verhindert werden.</li><br />
<li><strong>Bitcoin-&Uuml;berweisungen sind praktisch kostenlos</strong>, w&auml;hrend man bei Kreditkarten und Online-Zahlungssystemen normalerweise 1-5% der &Uuml;berweisungssumme als Geb&uuml;hr bezahlt.</li><br />
<li>Man vermeidet die Instabilit&auml;ten, die durch das partielle Reservesystem und schlechte Entscheidungen der Zentralbanken verursacht werden k&ouml;nnen.

Bitcoin verwenden:<br />

Aktivieren Sie im Men&uuml; Options->Generate Coins um ein paar M&uuml;nzen zu verdienen indem Sie dabei helfen das Netzwerk am laufen zu halten. Bitcoin l&auml;uft im Hintergrund w&auml;hrend der eigene Computer sich im Leerlauf befindet und sollte andere Programme nicht verlangsamen. Abh&auml;ngig davon, wie viel Rechenzeit Sie beitragen k&ouml;nnen, kann es einige Tage dauern bis die ersten M&uuml;nzen erzeugt werden &ndash; haben Sie also bitte etwas Geduld.<br />
<br />
Insgesamt wird es am Schlu&szlig; 21.000.000 M&uuml;nzen geben. Das ist eine harte Obergrenze, die nicht &uuml;berschritten wird. Die M&uuml;nzen werden &uuml;ber Jahre hinweg nach und nach in Umlauf gebracht: Sie werden an die einzelnen Teilnehmer ausgesch&uuml;ttet, proportional zu der Menge Rechenzeit die diese beitragen.<br />
<br />
Um eingehende Verbindungen empfangen zu k&ouml;nnen, m&uuml;ssen Sie evtl. Ihre Firewall oder Ihren Router so einstellen, dass Port 8333 (TCP) weitergeleitet wird. Dadurch erh&ouml;ht sich die Anzahl der anderen Teilnehmer, mit denen Sie Verbindung aufnehmen k&ouml;nnen.<br />

<br />
Usare Bitcoin:<br />
<p>Dovete andare ad attivare l'opzione <b>Options->Generate Coins</b> per ottenere alcune monete ( coins ) per aver aiutato a mantenere il network. Bitcoin lavora in background quando il computer è fermo e non dovrebbe rallentare l'uso di altri programmi. Potrebbe richiedere giorni per generare correttamente una moneta ( coin ), quindi siate pazienti. Questo tempo può variare e dipende anche da quanto contibuirete offrendo la vostra CPU.</p> <br />
<br />
Il massimo possibile di Bitcoin in circolazione sarà 21,000,000. Non ci sara mai una quantità maggiore di moneta oltre a questa. Queste monete ( coins ) entrano in circolazione gradualmente, per un ritmo costante di diversi anni, basato dai nodi che parteciperanno al network e dall'uso delle loro CPU.<br />
<br />
Per poter ricevere le connessioni in entrata, dovrete impostare il vostro firewall/router per aprire la porta 8333 ( TCP ) del vostro computer. Questo aumenterà il numero di nodi a cui riuscirete a connettervi.<br />

<h2 class="homepage-title page-title">Bitcoin, cryptodevise en pair-à-pair</h2><br />
<br />
<p>Bitcoin est une devise électronique basée sur un réseau de type peer-to-peer. Peer-to-peer (P2P) signifie qu'il n'existe pas d'autorité centrale habilitée à émettre de la monnaie ou à tenir un journal des transactions. Au lieu de cela, ces tâches sont gérées de façon collective par l'ensemble des noeuds du réseau. Parmi les avantages :</p><br />
<ul><br />
<li>Les transfers peuvent être effectués facilement via Internet, sans avoir à passer par un tiers de confiance.</li><br />
<li>Aucun tiers ne peut empêcher ou contrôler vos transactions.</li><br />
<li><strong>Les transactions par Bitcoin sont quasiment gratuites</strong>, tandis que les cartes de crédit et autres moyens de paiement en ligne coutent typiquement de 1 à 5% par transaction, sans compter divers prélèvements effectués par les marchands, qui peuvent s'élever à plusieurs centaines de dollars.</li><br />
<li>Le système est à l'abri de l'instabilité causée par le système des réserves fractionnaires ainsi que par les mauvaise politiques monétaires des banques centrales. L'inflation limitée du système Bitcoin est distribuée de façon homogène (par puissance de calcul [CPU]) à travers le réseau, et non monopolisée par les banques.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p>Bitcoin est un projet logiciel libre créé par Satoshi Nakamoto, actuellement en phase de développement béta. Le développement de Bitcoin est hébergé par <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/">SourceForge</a>.</p><br />

La durée exacte dépend de la quantité de temps CPU que vous pouvez apporter. </p><br />
<p>Le nombre total de bitcoins en circulation sera à terme de 21 millions. Il n'y aura jamais plus de bitcoins que cela. Les bitcoins entrent en circulation graduellement, à un rythme constant pendant de nombreuses années, vers les noeuds supportant le réseau et en proportion du temps CPU qu'il procurent.</p><br />
<p>Pour recevoir des connexions entrantes, vous devez configurer votre pare-feu afin de lui faire rediriger le port TCP 8333 vers votre machine. Cela améliore le nombre de noeuds avec lesquels vous pouvez vous connecter.</p><br />

<h2 class="homepage-title page-title">Bitcoin P2P Digivaluutta</h2><br />
<br />
Bitcoin on vertaisverkkoon perustuva digitaalinen valuutta. Vertaisverkkoon (peer-to-peer network) perustuva toiminta tarkoittaa sitä, että mikään keskitetty taho ei hallinnoi rahan liikkeellelaskua tai maksutapahtumia, vaan verkon tietokoneet hoitavat nämä tehtävät kollektiivisesti. Etuja:<br />
<br />
<ul><br />
<li>Siirrä rahaa helposti Internetin ylitse ilman välikäsiä.</li><br />
<li>Maksutapahtumat on suunniteltu olemaan peruuttamattomia.</li><br />
<li>Suojaudu osittaisen kassavarannon pankkijärjestelmän aiheuttamalta epävakaudelta ja keskuspankkien huonolta rahapolitiikalta. Bitcoin-rahakannan rajallinen kasvu jakautuu tasaisesti (käytetyn prosessoriajan mukaan) koko verkkoon, ei keskitetysti pankeille.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<br />
Bitcoin on avoimen lähdekoodin projekti, joka on tällä hetkellä betakehitysvaiheessa. Projektin kehityssivut ovat <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/">SourceForge</a>:ssa.<br />

<br />
Ohjelman käyttö:<br />
<br />
Ensimmäisten tuntia aikana blokkien määrä nousee nopeati kunnes koko blokkiketju on vastaanotettu.<br />
<br />
Valitse Options->Generate Coins niin osallistut verkon pyörittämiseen ja saat itsellesi kolikoita. Ohjelma käyttää prosessoria silloin kun muut ohjelmat eivät, joten muiden ohjelmien toiminnan ei pitäisi hidastua.<br />
<br />
Bitcoineja tulee aikanaan olemaan yhteensä 21 miljoonaa. Sen enempää rahaa ei koskaan tule. Rahamäärä tulee kiertoon asteittain, tasaiseen tahtiin useiden vuosien aikana, ja jakautuu verkon tietokoneille suhteessa niiden lahjoittamaan prosessoriaikaan. Nykyisen verkon prosessoreiden kokonaistehon vuoksi useimmat koneet tarvitsevat useita kuukausia 50 BTC:n luomisen onnistumiseen.<br />
<br />
Voit saada muutaman ilmaisen bitcoinin <a href="http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/">Bitcoin Faucet</a> sivulta. Jos Bitcoin on päällä kun vastaanotat maksutapahtuman näet rahan reaaliaikaisesti. Muussa tapauksessa saattaa kestää 10 minuuttia tai kauemmin kunnes kaikki koneet ovat vastaanottaneet tapahtuman. Joulukuussa 2010 verkossa oli 97000 blokkia.<br />
<br />
Sisääntulevien yhteyksien vastaanottamiseksi porttiin 8333 (TCP) saapuvien yhteyksien tulee reitittyä koneellesi. Tämä lisää niiden verkon koneiden määrää, joihin voit olla yhteydessä.<br />

<h2 class="homepage-title page-title">Bitcoin P2P waluta kryptograficzna</h2><br />
<br />
Bitcoin jest cyfrową walutą opartą na sieci peer-to-peer (P2P). Wykorzystanie Peer-to-peer (P2P) do propagacji danych księgowych eliminuje potrzebę istnienia jakiejkolwiek centralnej instytucji nadzorującej lub kontrolującej przepływ cyfrowego pieniądza pomiędzy użytkownikami. Dzięki temu niemożliwe jest sztuczne sterowanie wartością pieniądza przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu anonimowości dokonywanych transakcji. System księgowości prowadzony jest wspólnie przez rozproszony system węzłów, dystrybuujących pomiędzy sobą dane księgowe i kontrolujących się na wzajem.<br />
Zalety systemu Bitcoin:<br />
<br />
<ul><br />
<li>Transfer pieniędzy jest szybki, prosty i bezpośredni (bez ingerencji osób trzecich takich jak banki czy operatorzy płatności elektronicznych)</li><br />
<li>Osoby trzecie nie mogą zapobiec ani kontrolować transakcji</li><br />
<li>Transakcje Bitcoin są praktycznie bezpłatne, podczas gdy karty kredytowe oraz płatności online zazwyczaj obarczone są różnymi prowizjami i kosztami dodatkowymi</li><br />
<li>System Bitcoin jest całkowicie niezależny od istniejących struktur i układów finansowych, zapewnia mu to m.in. odporność na złą politykę banków centralnych. Z góry znana, zaplanowana ograniczona inflacja systemu monetarnego Bitcoin oraz dystrybucja pieniądza niezależna od banków gwarantuje wiarygodność i stabilność wartości waluty.</li><br />

Jak używać bitcoin:<br />
<br />
Przejdź do Options->Generate Coins by wygenerować kilka monet oraz wspierać działanie sieci. Bitcoin działa w tle kiedy twój komputer jest w stanie bezczynności i nie powinien spowalniać innych programów. Generowanie bitcoin może zająć wiele dni, więc musisz uzbroić się w cierpliwość. Czas generowania może być różny i zależeć od tego ile czasu procesora jest efektywnie wykorzystane. Docelowo całkowita ilość pieniędzy w obiegu nie przekroczy 21 milionów i nigdy nie będzie więcej monet powyżej tej wartości. Pieniądze będą wprowadzane do obiegu stopniowo i równomiernie przez wiele lat przez węzły tworzące sieć, proporcjonalnie do wniesionego czasu pracy CPU.<br />
<br />
By program mógł odbierać połączenia musisz odblokować port 8333 TCP na twoim firewallu/ routerze. To znacznie zwiększy liczbę węzłów z którymi będziesz się mógł połączyć.<br />
<br />
Bitcoin może używać sieci TOR. Opcja ta dostępna jest z linii komend:<br />
bitcoin -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050<br />
<br />
Jeżeli chcesz pozostać anonimowy, nie wyjawiaj żadnych informacji łączących twój adres konta bitcoin z twoimi danymi osobowymi. Zamiast tego powinieneś użyć nowego adresu konta dla każdej płatności (tranzakcji) którą otrzymujesz.<br />

<br />
Bitcoin é uma moeda digital peer-to-peer. Peer-to-peer(P2P) significa que não há uma autoridade central para emitir novas cédulas ou manter o controle sob operações financeiras. Em vez disso,essas tarefas são feitas coletivamente por nodes("nós") da network. Vantagens:<br />
<br />
<ul><br />
<li> Bitcoins são enviadas facilmente através da Internet, sem a necessidade de intermediários.</li><br />
<li> Transações são projetadas para serem irreversíveis</li><br />
<li> Fique seguro da instabilidade da reserva fracionária e dos bancos centrais. A inflação limitada causada pela oferta do sistema de moeda Bitcoin é distribuída igualmente (pelo poder do CPU) para toda a rede, não monopolizada por bancos.</li><br />

Deixe ligado Options->Generate Coins para contribuir para a rede com o tempo inativo de seu CPU. Bitcoin funciona no background quando seu computador está inativo e não deve deixar outros programas mais lentos.<br />
<br />
O total de circulação será de 21 milhões de Bitcoins. Jamais haverá mais moedas que isso. As moedas estão entrando em circulação de forma gradual, em um ritmo constante de vários anos, para nodes(nós) que apoiam a rede em proporção ao tempo de CPU que eles contribuam. Com o atual poder de CPU na rede, a maioria dos CPUs demorará meses para gerar 50 BTC.<br />
<br />
Você pode conseguir alguns Bitcoins de graça no link <a href="http://freebitcoins.appspot.com/">Bitcoin Faucet</a>. Se o Bitcoin estiver funcionando quando você receber uma transação, você consegue ve-lâ imediatamente. Caso contrário, pode demorar 10 minutos ou mais depois que foi enviada e todos os blocos devem terminar o download. A partir de Dezembro de 2010, há 97000 blocos.<br />
<br />
Para receber conexões, coloque seu firewall para abrir a porta 8333 (TCP) no seu computador. Isso aumenta o número de nodes(nós) com os quais você consegue se conectar.<br />

<hr />
<div>Here you will find answers to the most commonly asked questions.<br />
<br />
== General ==<br />
=== What are bitcoins? ===<br />
Bitcoins are the unit of currency of the Bitcoin system. A commonly used shorthand for this is “BTC” to refer to a price or amount (eg: “100 BTC”)<br />
A Bitcoin isn't actually a 'thing' you can point at. It is just a number associated with a [[Address|Bitcoin Address]]. See also an [[Introduction|easy intro]] to bitcoin.<br />
<br />
=== How can I get Bitcoins? ===<br />
<br />
There are four ways to get Bitcoins:<br />
<br />
* Buy them on an exchange such as [https://www.mtgox.com/ Mt. Gox] or [http://www.bitcoin-otc.com/ #bitcoin-otc] on FreeNode.<br />
* Accept Bitcoins as payment for goods or services.<br />
* Create a new [[block]] (currently yields 50 Bitcoins).<br />
* Participate in a [[Pooled mining|mining pool]].<br />
<br />
=== Can I buy Bitcoins with Paypal? ===<br />
<br />
While it's possible to find an individual who wishes to sell Bitcoin to you via Paypal, (perhaps via [http://www.bitcoin-otc.com/ #bitcoin-otc] ) most major exchanges do not allow funding through Paypal. This is due to repeated cases where someone pays for Bitcoins with Paypal, receives their Bitcoins, and then fraudulently complains to Paypal that they never received their goods. Paypal too often sides with the fraudulent buyer in this case, and so exchangers no longer allow this method of funding.<br />
<br />
Buying Bitcoins from individuals with this method is still possible, but requires mutual trust. In this case, Bitcoin seller beware.<br />
<br />
=== How are new Bitcoins created? ===<br />
<br />
[[File:total_bitcoins_over_time_graph.png|thumb|Number of bitcoins over time, assuming a perfect 10-minute interval.]]<br />
New coins are generated by a network node each time it finds the solution to a certain mathematical problem (i.e. creates a new [[block]]), which is difficult to perform and can demonstrate a [[proof of work]]. The reward for solving a block is [[controlled inflation|automatically adjusted]] so that in the first 4 years of the Bitcoin network, 10,500,000 BTC will be created. The amount is halved each 4 years, so it will be 5,250,000 over years 4-8, 2,625,000 over years 8-12 and so on. Thus the total number of coins will approach 21,000,000 BTC over time.<br />
<br />
In addition, built into the network is a system that attempts to allocate new coins in blocks about every 10 minutes, on average, somewhere on the network. As the number of people who attempt to generate these new coins changes, the difficulty of creating new coins changes. This happens in a manner that is agreed upon by the network as a whole, based upon the time taken to generate the previous 2016 blocks. The difficulty is therefore related to the average computing resources devoted to generate these new coins over the time it took to create these previous blocks. The likelihood of somebody "discovering" one of these blocks is based on the computer they are using compared to all of the computers also generating blocks on the network.<br />
<br />
=== What's the current total number of Bitcoins in existence? ===<br />
<br />
[http://blockexplorer.com/q/totalbc Current count]<br />
<br />
The number of blocks times the coin value of a block is the number of coins in existence. The coin value of a block is 50 BTC for each of the first 210,000 blocks, 25 BTC for the next 210,000 blocks, then 12.5 BTC, 6.25 BTC and so on.<br />
<br />
=== How divisible are Bitcoins? ===<br />
<br />
Technically, a Bitcoin can be divided down to 8 decimals using existing data structures, so 0.00000001 BTC is the smallest amount currently possible. Discussions about and ideas for ways to provide for even smaller quantities of Bitcoins may be created in the future if the need for them ever arises.<br />
<br />
=== How does the halving work when the number gets really small? ===<br />
<br />
The reward will go from 0.00000001 BTC to 0. Then no more coins will likely be created. <br />
<br />
The calculation is done as a right bitwise shift of a 64-bit signed integer, which means it is divided by 2 and rounded down. The integer is equal to the value in BTC * 100,000,000. This is how all Bitcoin balances/values are stored internally.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that using current rules this will take nearly 100 years before it becomes an issue and Bitcoins may change considerably before that happens.<br />
<br />
=== How long will it take to generate all the coins? ===<br />
<br />
The last block that will generate coins will be block #6,929,999. This should be generated around year 2140. Then the total number of coins in circulation will remain static at 20,999,999.9769 BTC.<br />
<br />
Even if the allowed precision is expanded from the current 8 decimals, the total BTC in circulation will always be slightly below 21 million (assuming everything else stays the same). For example, with 16 decimals of precision, the end total would be 20999999.999999999496 BTC.<br />
<br />
=== If no more coins are going to be generated, will more blocks be created? ===<br />
<br />
Absolutely! Even before the creation of coins ends, the use of [[transaction fee|transaction fees]] will likely make creating new blocks more valuable from the fees than the new coins being created. When coin generation ends, what will sustain the ability to use bitcoins will be these fees entirely. There will be blocks generated after block #6,929,999, assuming that people are still using Bitcoins at that time.<br />
<br />
=== But if no more coins are generated, what happens when Bitcoins are lost? Won't that be a problem? ===<br />
<br />
Not at all. Because of the law of supply and demand, when fewer Bitcoins are available the ones that are left will be in higher demand, and therefore will have a higher value. So when Bitcoins are lost, the remaining Bitcoins will increase in value to compensate. As the value of Bitcoins increase, the number of Bitcoins required to purchase an item '''de'''creases. This is known as a [[Deflationary spiral|deflationary economic model]]. Eventually, if and when it gets to the point where the largest transaction is less that 1BTC, then it's a simple matter of shifting the decimal place to the right a few places, and the system continues.<br />
<br />
=== If every transaction is broadcast via the network, does BitCoin scale? ===<br />
The Bitcoin protocol allows lightweight clients that can use Bitcoin without downloading the entire transaction history. As traffic grows and this becomes more critical, implementations of the concept will be developed. Full network nodes will at some point become a more specialized service.<br />
<br />
With some modifications to the software, full BitCoin nodes could easily keep up with both VISA and MasterCard combined, using only fairly modest hardware (a couple of racks of machines using todays hardware). It's worth noting that the MasterCard network is structured somewhat like BitCoin itself - as a peer to peer broadcast network.<br />
<br />
Learn more about [[Scalability]].<br />
<br />
=== Why do I have to wait 10 minutes before I can spend money I received? ===<br />
<br />
The reason you have to wait 10 minutes is that's the average time taken to find a block. It can be significantly more or less time than that depending on luck, 10 minutes is simply the average case. <br />
<br />
Blocks (shown as "confirmations" in the GUI) are how the BitCoin achieves consensus on who owns what. Once a block is found everyone agrees that you now own those coins, so you can spend them again. Until then it's possible that some network nodes believe otherwise, if somebody is attempting to defraud the system by reversing a transaction. The more confirmations a transaction has, the less risk there is of a reversal. Only 6 blocks or 1 hour is enough to make reversal computationally impractical. This is dramatically better than credit cards which can see chargebacks occur up to three months after the original transaction!<br />
<br />
Why ten minutes specifically? It is a tradeoff chosen by Satoshi between propagation time of new blocks in large networks and the amount of work wasted due to chain splits. If that made no sense to you, don't worry. Reading [http://www.bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf the technical paper] should make things clearer.<br />
<br />
=== Do you have to wait 10 minutes in order to buy or sell things with BitCoin? ===<br />
<br />
No, it's reasonable to sell things without waiting for a confirmation as long as the transaction is not of high value.<br />
<br />
When people ask this question they are usually thinking about applications like supermarkets or snack machines, as discussed in [http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=423.msg3819#msg3819 this thread from July 2010]. Zero confirmation transactions still show up in the GUI, but you cannot spend them. You can however reason about the risk involved in assuming you ''will'' be able to spend them in future. In general, selling things that are fairly cheap (like snacks, digital downloads etc) for zero confirmations will not pose a problem if you are running a well connected node.<br />
<br />
=== Why does my Bitcoin address keep changing? ===<br />
<br />
Whenever the address listed in "Your address" receives a transaction, Bitcoin replaces it with a new address. This is meant to encourage you to use a new address for every transaction, which enhances [[anonymity]]. All of your old addresses are still usable: you can see them in ''Settings -> Your Receiving Addresses''.<br />
<br />
==Economy==<br />
=== Where does the value of Bitcoin stem from? What backs up Bitcoin? ===<br />
Bitcoins have value because they are accepted as payment by many. See the [[Trade|list of Bitcoin-accepting sites]].<br />
<br />
When we say that a currency is backed up by gold, we mean that there's a promise in place that you can exchange the currency for gold. In a sense, you could say that Bitcoin is "backed up" by the price tags of merchants – a price tag is a promise to exchange goods for a specified amount of currency.<br />
<br />
It's a common misconception that Bitcoins gain their value from the cost of electricity required to generate them. Cost doesn't equal value – hiring 1,000 men to shovel a big hole in the ground may be costly, but not valuable. Also, even though scarcity is a critical requirement for a useful currency, it alone doesn't make anything valuable. For example, your fingerprints are scarce, but that doesn't mean they have any exchange value.<br />
<br />
=== What if someone bought up all the existing Bitcoins? ===<br />
What if somebody bought up all the gold in the world? Well, by attempting to buy it all, the buyer would just drive the prices up until he runs out of money.<br />
<br />
Not all Bitcoins are for sale. Just as with gold, no one can buy a Bitcoin that isn't available for sale.<br />
<br />
=== Bitcoin's monetary policy causes a deflationary spiral ===<br />
See the article [[Deflationary spiral]].<br />
<br />
==Networking==<br />
=== Do I need to configure my firewall to run bitcoin? ===<br />
<br />
Bitcoin will connect to other nodes, usually on tcp port 8333. You will need to allow outgoing TCP connections to port 8333 if you want to allow your bitcoin client to connect to many nodes. Bitcoin will also try to connect to IRC (tcp port 6667) to meet other nodes to connect to.<br />
<br />
If you want to restrict your firewall rules to a few ips and/or don't want to allow IRC connection, you can find stable nodes in the [[Fallback Nodes|fallback nodes list]]. If your provider blocks the common IRC ports, note that lfnet also listens on port 7777. Connecting to this alternate port currently requires either recompiling Bitcoin, or changing routing rules. For example, on Linux you can evade a port 6667 block by doing something like this:<br />
<br />
echo 173.246.103.92 irc.lfnet.org >> /etc/hosts<br />
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dest 173.246.103.92 --dport 6667 -j DNAT --to-destination :7777 -m comment --comment "bitcoind irc connection"<br />
<br />
<br />
=== How does the peer finding mechanism work? ===<br />
Bitcoin finds peers primarily by connecting to an IRC server (channel #bitcoin on irc.lfnet.org). If a connection to the IRC server cannot be established (like when connecting through TOR), an in-built node list will be used and the nodes will be queried for more node addresses.<br />
<br />
==Mining==<br />
===What is mining?===<br />
Mining is the process of spending computation power to find valid blocks and thus create new Bitcoins.<br />
<br />
===I've been mining for a long time and haven't created any new Bitcoins. What's wrong?===<br />
<br />
In the early days of Bitcoin, it was easy for anyone to find new blocks using standard CPUs. As more and more people started mining, the [[difficulty]] of finding new blocks has greatly increased to the point where the average time for a CPU to find a single block can be many years. The only cost- or time-effective method of mining is using a high-end graphics card with special software. See here for an explanation of why: [[Why_a_GPU_mines_faster_than_a_CPU]]. Since CPU mining is essentially useless, it may be removed from new versions of the Bitcoin software.<br />
<br />
===Is mining used for some useful computation?===<br />
The computations done when mining are internal to Bitcoin and not related to any other distributed computing projects. They serve the purpose of securing the Bitcoin network, which is useful.<br />
<br />
===Is it not a waste of energy?===<br />
Spending energy on creating a free monetary system is hardly a waste. Also, services necessary for the operation of currently widespread monetary systems, such as banks and credit card companies, also spend energy, arguably more than Bitcoin would.<br />
<br />
===Why don't we use calculations that are also useful for some other purpose?===<br />
To provide security for the Bitcoin network, the calculations involved need to have some very specific features. These features are incompatible with leveraging the computation for other purposes.<br />
<br />
