Let me take the opportunity to also plug this thread (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4761.0). ----------------- As per this (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4543.0) and this (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4435.0) post, me & dissipate have setup a new site: http://bitcoin.cz.cc You propose features for Bitcoin. The front page shows a mix of the most donated proposals (10) and newest ones (5). Once the feature is implemented in Bitcoin then the bounty goes to the author and the proposal is deleted. Think of it as an experiment into future methods for bitcoin based free software dev. Right now I'm just putting it out there to see what happens. If it grows then we can think about turning it into a bug tracker type thing with tickets, comments, statuses, assignment of tickets and search. ############## For this to work, people have to know about it. Add it to your signatures! "Vote up your favourite ideas to go into Bitcoin" ############## Source code (http://gitorious.org/btfeature/btfeature/trees/master).

Title: Re: Slashdot: Google Engineer Releases Open Source Bitcoin Client Post by: JohnDoe on March 23, 2011, 03:38:42 PM The comments are very disappointing. Slashdot, Hacker News and Reddit like to think that they are smarter than 4chan but apparently they are not.

Slashdot, Hacker News and Reddit like to think that they are smarter than 4chan but apparently they are not. Agreed. And nothing is changed from summer slashdotting - discussion about same things without moving to depth or to new ideas.

And nothing is changed from summer slashdotting - discussion about same things without moving to depth or to new ideas. I'd attribute that to only a small portion of people commenting, and the majority of them being new people who didn't see it last time. There's a lot of people on the internet, don't worry, people are learning ;) Title: Re: Slashdot: Google Engineer Releases Open Source Bitcoin Client Post by: Cryptoman on March 23, 2011, 04:57:57 PM The comments are very disappointing. Slashdot, Hacker News and Reddit like to think that they are smarter than 4chan but apparently they are not. Most commenting on the internet is negative as it is easier to bash something than to contribute.

You have to remember as of now there's almost 3/4 more of BitCoins still to be issued. |
