How about email as address? Just like paypal.  It appears that there is more than one genius on this board. touche We would be more popular than PayPal within the week if we did that. |

The only thing keeping Bitcoin from becoming used by everyone in the world is the long addresses. We need to shorten them to make it easier for the public.
Since people are able to remember their phone numbers, we should make the address only 10 characters long and only consist of numbers and add two numbers for country codes.
And the private address is way too long. Just make it an 8 character max with upper and lower case letters like a password.
And people should be allowed to have easy addresses like 1234567890 or 1111111111.
Implement this and I guarantee every single person in the world will start using Bitcoin tomorrow.
No need to branch off a new branch of the Blockchain for my genius idea. Just change all of Bitcoin to comply with this new strategy.
Ok, I am sure I will get some troll in here saying stuff like "10 numbers is too hard".
Just to head that off right away, I agree. Maybe some addresses can be less. At least one number though.
Or maybe even just have everyone use their first name for their public address and last name for their private address.
Make it that easy and it will be a huge hit over night.

I could also settle for a pick made from bone.
Only if it is human bone. |

You can deposit USD into a bank account and get Bitcoins from several exchanges.

Any suggestions on a good hosting service that can run Jetty?
I am currently using hostmonster but they do not provide enough memory to run jetty.
I'm currently paying $8/month and would like to stick around that price or better.

Strangely enough, I was thinking about just what your friend said.
Many people are nationalists. They are gung ho for their country and everything created around that concept.
I could easily see the scenario where I may be out talking about Bitcoin and some meat head speaking up and saying to everyone and to myself "Here in America, we use DOLLARS"...uhh...derr...

Bavarian Illuminati Interesting topic but this made me stop reading. Atlas does raise a lot of interesting questions, too bad he's a bit of an idiot and lunatic. Seems like a pretty hard-line stance you've got there. If you switch off every time some "non-mainstream" topic is raised, how will you ever know if for example, as a child you were incorrectly taught that 2+2=5? x = y -x2= -xy x2 - y2 = x2 - xy (x + y)(x - y) = x(x - y) x + x = y 2 + 2 = 5 |

I assume Elwar's idea was a joke as s/he didn't submit a graphical sketch and bitcoin address by the deadline.
Waa!?!? I spent like 5 hours on that masterpiece! |

Can't wait until the price climbs thanks to another great banking plan. Hope this one doesn't fail for personal reasons like the other one...it was so close.

I have seen postings in several different sections asking for someone who can code in Java, C++ or whichever.
It would be nice if they were all in the same section.

Interesting approach. I will look into that approach a bit more. I already have a transparent way for everyone to vote and have their votes counted. |

I have been working on the back end to this project and am in the very early stages of getting the front end set up.
The tl;dr of it is to have a way of pooling your Bitcoins with people who hold a common goal in mind and "voting" with your bitcoins for the best idea. The idea that gets enough funding moves forward and those who voted to support it can move forward together and plan further goals. While those who did not "vote" for it may later buy in to gain access to future planning.
The key to the whole thing is a system I have set up where you will set aside Bitcoins in an address that you own but you have dedicated toward funding various projects. The site will keep track of your pledges and available funds and have a running tally for any project and allow people to submit proposals.
Each proposal can be in any form of voting structure. It can request one person/one vote or one person many votes, a vote total for passing, an amount of BTC per vote, a structure for the people who will be handling the funds or an escrow service, a cost for "membership" for anyone after the vote who may want to be admitted and how the fees are distributed to the members (again, no funds to be held centrally). Along with many other adaptations as time goes on.
I would work toward making the front end very communication friendly so that people working toward the same goal can have plenty of opportunity to interact and hash things out to keep the total amount of voting to a minimum, probably charging a small fee per proposal to fund the site.
I would also likely include the ability to do small voting tallies for things that do not involve funding such as putting someone in charge or other minor things that do not require funding, this would involve a vote using a small amount of BTC like mBTC or uBTC. This would also probably be customizable and included in the proposals.
I have been hardening the back-end to make sure that security is built in from the bottom up so I have not been doing much on the web interface yet. But I would hope that this would be of enough interest to people that I could get it going and hopefully have some successful projects.

Not all projects fit in a kickstarter model. There are many maintenance projects like road maintenance, garbage disposal, education, etc. that needs continuous funding.
Umm...my garbage service is private. $10 a month. Great service. |

I am a java developer with over 15 years of experience including network/IT and project management experience as well.
I have been looking to expand my abilities into the Bitcoin realm and would be willing to take extra hours outside of work now that I am wrapping up my Master's degree in IT management.
Put me in as available for 10-20 hours per week at a rate of 4BTC/hour.
