Re: [Bitcoin-development] Scalability issues

2012-07-23 Thread Raphael NICOLLE
Hello,

Even though I'm not a dev, I can't agree more, and would like to know if 
they are expected steps being taken, some fixes coming, or whatever?

Thank you all for your hard work.

 An estimate is made that by the end of the year bitcoin will
 completely overrun the capabilities of this reasonable class of
 machines.
 It already takes a month to build a new blockchain, let alone keep up
 with new incoming blocks.
 Yes, it also has workstation duties, yet even if those were removed,
 it would probably choke by mid 2013.

 It would appear bitcoin has some *serious* scalability hurdles coming
 down the road.
 Most certainly if the user expects to independantly build, manage, and
 trust their own blockchain.

Too technical if you ask me. We want a webpage for the dumbest end-user 
I think.


Java? C? What the heck is this? Blockchain? Qt?

This is like the most annoying thing about email. Often with group
emails, we'll be having a conversation then someone will click
reply instead of group reply and the convo will go on for a while.
Eventually I'll realise the persons are missing and add them back in.

On Yahoo mail (which I use for spam/mailing lists), to do reply
all involves clicking a tab, scrolling down and clicking Reply
All. Normally I instead go through the steps of reply, delete To,
re-enter bitco... select drop down, click send.

Anyone know how to make reply all the default in mutt? And how can
I exclude it from re-including my own email when I do a group
reply so I don't get the same email again.

 Try Reply to All

 That puts the sender in 'to' and list in 'cc',
 which dupes to the sender and eventually
 blows out the to and cc lines as everyone
 chimes in and doesn't trim. 'reply to' solves
 most of that. assuming the list sw can do it.
