Same with bitcoin. It is its own currency. Title: Re: when sending coins, i wish we had... Post by: interfect on June 08, 2011, 04:13:54 AM This would require the client developers officially endorsing an exchange. Which they probably don't want to do. Maybe if the exchange put out a client, this would happen. Or you can develop something to grab prices from the API and spearhead the development of an alternate client.

It is its own currency. just today i sold some coins, face to face. before the final amount of bitcoins to be sent we had to figure out the exchange for canada, and then the bitcoin rate...it would just be easier if it was there, and its not the same as a check...if a pizza cost 1 coin yesterday, and its still one coin...wow, better be a great pizza...

to the payment. It would be great to know where donations are coming from. It would be great to get a personal message along with the transaction. In the future, I guess. The way that Bitcoin is growing , it doesn't seem like it'll be too long... Title: Re: when sending coins, i wish we had... Post by: interfect on June 08, 2011, 05:31:44 AM Messages would have to be included in the block chain to reliably reach the recipient.
It would be nice if the client had an unreliable stream of recent messages attached to transactions. Bandwidth is cheaper than block chain space. |
