Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Could this have an impact on bitcoins adoption into third-world countries if they can't afford high transaction fees and are doing smaller micro transactions? The transactions would eventually get through, but the long wait time could be discouraging.

I'd like to thank all three of you for doing this podcast, it's always thought provoking and fun to listen to. Plus, Stephanie does have a very sexy voice... But I do have a question,

How do miners determine which transactions will be confirmed first and which get put to the back of the line? Shouldn't they be confirmed in a 'first come, first serve' basis?

*edit: As well, do you still plan on using some time on the show to go into more detail about mining? I think it was mentioned a few weeks ago that the topic might be explored in further detail.
