We are really at a guess based market at the moment.     It will be very interesting to see where what we decide bitcoin is worth. (in the short term)

Allow bitcoin to export wallet file with encryption.

Question: Can we use the built-in Bitcoin public-private key infrastructure.  And use a Elliptic curve encryption?

lol

well good work so far! I think that I can send you some coins for your work so-far    The Tor wiki page is starting to look like on of the best ones so far!

Each CHK@... could contain only the raw block data.   Blocks are listed in 10^2 tables.



When the lists get moved into a bigger group, the old groups can be forgotten.  Each list references the previous list.
The CHK@ addresses for the Block Lists, should be reliability computable from having the block chain. Like the block CHK@ addresses.

To obtain the latest 10 block addresses, use FMS or something like that.

Maybe use darknet messaging to send new transactions, to be included in the block chain... or maybe FMS.  (this is the tricky part)

after spending a little bit of time debugging yet again... I have got SASL working on Tor.  The issue was that my password was too long.

Sure   I'm sure that you will put that 100BTC to other good use!

Full client, except generation and JSON-RPC

I kind bitcoiner has pledged to do the Bitcoin-freenet specification!    My Bitcoin wallet was getting too heavy anyway

You are using port 8118, that port is for Privoxy, there is no need to go through Privoxy for IRC.  Use port 9050 instead.

cool, good work! You have got further than me.    What bounty are you aiming for?

50 BTC bounty for writing a sasl mIRC script that doesn't suck, and is well tested and documented.
Bounty has been about 5% completed. I would not call this well tested or documented.  Maybe if the existing script works, however there is no documentation that explains _why_ it works.

Another 60 BTC bounty for the writing of a full guide explaining how to get Tor working on windows with Bitcoin, mIRC (on Freenode), and Firefox.
This bounty you have just the your foot in the door.  A full guide needs to be easy to understand and show clear instructions.  The 5 points you have posted now is barely a proof of concept.

The reason I make such bounties is because I'm lazy and don't want to do it myself.    I'm not going to spend lots of time porting it over to the wiki.   Good start so far! Hope my bar isn't too high.

I have come to the conclusion that the protocol 'as implemented' is pretty much set-in-stone.  While small modifications may be made in the future for security, the block will be the same as now in 50 years time.

The only thing that will change, is how we distribute and share the blocks between clients.

Yep you got to the point that I got stuck at... The documentation for SASL with mIRC is virtually non-existent. (and what exist's is of very poor quality).

Yes banks make profit, so what?  That is the whole point in providing a service: to make a return on investment.  Banks take risk, and have rewards, (or losses).  You are ignoring the other side of the equation, the bank could take that 100BTC and directly invest it in a new company, and make that 2BTC directly.

There is no 'money' coming from nowhere. Unlike the fiat banking system where there is only 'profit' and no chance of loss (until the whole thing comes crashing down).  In the fiat world, banks 'loan' money from nothing through government enforced dilution of the existing currency.

Usury is good, it is the natural way of putting a 'time value' on capital.  Money is better now, than later (you may not be alive to spend it).

There is nothing to worry about.  Just feel sorry for the suckers who loose their wallets. 

contrary to common belief on this forum;  there is a damage done to the Bitcoin economy when on looses his or her Bitcoins to the either.

If somebody is capable earning Bitcoin, then they will be more likely to re-invest those Bitcoins effectively, thus growing the Bitcoin economy faster than the natural deflation cause by lost coins.

However, as coins get worth more, the number lost will lessen.

I'm using windows 7 x64    I have got tor working for Firefox, privoxy, mIRC (irc.lfnet.org:6667).  However the one part that I have been unable to get working is Freenode on mIRC.     This is because of the useless and un-documented sasl scripts.

I found getting Firefox, Privoxy, mIRC documentation all jumbled, out-of-date, or hard to understand.  It was quite a mission to get that far.  I have made this bounty so that hopefully somebody can spend the time to make some good guides. 

The problem with 'domain name coin' is that it doesn't make economic sense. There should be no 'restriction of supply' of domain names. The cost of a domain name should be directly related to the network cost in supporting that domain.  Transaction fees make much more economic scene than a new 'domain coin' as the network compensation mechanism.

mIRC is a very commonly used IRC client.  I hardly think that it is 'just-for-me.'  Even so, I'm making the bounty, there is no issue of having a narrow focus.  I'm just under the assumption that I'm not the only person having issues setting it up.

From my view there is no in problem having this included on the Bitcoin wiki.


This needs to explain clearly, with diagrams: how tor works (and the general onion network concept), why tor is helpful for Bitcoin, limitations on privacy, contrast to other networks like freenet.

I think a solid 500 word document with a few diagrams should suffice the bounty.  Be creative, It needs to be aimed at somebody that is just starting out with all this Bitcoin-tor stuff.  It should also contain lots of link to more tougher documents.

Yes, I use mIRC.  The guide is dependent on getting Tor working with mIRC. You are more than welcome to team up with somebody else, and split the prize.
