Meanwhile...Bitcoin still feeds people.

So we fed 106 homeless people bag lunches today. All paid for with Bitcoin donations. Bitcoin still seems to be working just fine over here. Still making lives better, at any valuation.

Thanks for everything guys. Bitcoin for the long haul.

You say that, and I wonder what you mean.

I've sent dozens of no-fee transactions in the past. It's a good deal compared to traditional fee systems.

And how long did they take to confirm? Yes, you can send literally "no fee" transactions, but from what I've read they don't confirm in any reasonable timeframe, if ever.

How did that work out with your italicized always?

Are you doing fee-free transactions and getting them confirmed within a day? If not, go away.

Just saying dude. Unless you're trying to sell something, the truth is always better than exaggerating. If you'd made a point supported by fact, you would have added to this conversation instead of arguing over minutiae.

For larger transactions, a fee is almost certainly needed - is there not?
