I created a wiki page to keep track of and promote a list of unofficial repositories in addition to the official one of course. http://www.bitcoin.org/wiki/doku.php?id=repositoriesIf helpful, when adding or updating a repository entry, write a description as well.

The price is certainly right And then I find this ... 2.2. You agree to provide HostNexus with accurate, complete and up-to-date billing information, including your legal name, electronic mail (e-mail) address, home address, and telephone number. All changes to this information must be reported to HostNexus within 30 days of the change. I haven't had a problem with inaccurate or incomplete information using them for over eight years.

I plan to offer more types of seeds, of all kinds, ... Speaking of seeds, in the future when generating blocks becomes less common for general computer user and also as many devices/bitcoin environments will differ in that some will have all data for bitcoin history and many environments will not (e.g. mobile devices). This will resemble that of seeds/leechers in current p2p technologies.

Interesting, though it doesn't seem to work with your user name? Is the star burst supposed to appear over the D? For me, it appears after the D; I'm using Google Chrome on Windows.
Hm. I've tested it under Linux with Firefox and Chrome. Let me check... yeah it does look different on Windows. And neither Firefox nor Chrome display my example diacritics at all. The starburst character is a combining diacritical, so yes, it's supposed to surround the D. Then again, I kinda like how it comes out on Windows. For the record, this is what it looks like to me: I guess using combining diacriticals is out then, if they're not displaying correctly (everywhere). It looks the same to me also, however, I made certain to configure support for all characters to appear in my environment. Many computer users do not.

I think a site dedicated to publishing business info for those that do business with bitcoins and offering features such as business ratings, reviews/comments/feedback is better than a full blown social networking type of site. Single Serving Sites seem more useful. Besides, Diaspora is near!

Do you want to start a new thread on that? I've played the wolf game with people on forums, and a facebook version of the game seems like a genuinely good idea, I might get involved with developing that We're sleeping (me too, can't ya tell?) right now, but come hang out in freenode/#bitcoin-gamedev if you're interested in participating.

<necrodearia> I think a Bitcoin yellow pages should be established, perhaps as a wiki page? <Xunie> A "web of trust"? <Xunie> Yeah. <necrodearia> Mm, maybe not a wiki page <Xunie> Then what? <necrodearia> Perhaps a server side app should be established allowing organizations, businesses, entities, individuals, whatever to submit their information and after being processed it will be listed in a yellowpage-liek database. <necrodearia> Processing could be automatic or manual <Xunie> Go ask sirius, he's the server man. <necrodearia> And perhaps integrating with that database could be comments/feedback and ratings so that the businesses can be rated <lfm> necrodearia seems like you have dispensed with one central authority for a new one <necrodearia> hmm <Xunie> lfm, well no. <necrodearia> lfm: good point <Xunie> Actually, no. <Xunie> It's just a list of honest traders, not a central authority! <necrodearia> Actually, it's a database of traders, businesses, etc to keep it all organized, togehter, searchable, etc. <Xunie> Just like the Ebay system, you can give someone "thumbs up" or "thumbs down". <necrodearia> Reading a forum thread with a huge list can be daunting <necrodearia> And with user/customer review, they can be ranked accordingly <necrodearia> however <necrodearia> the data is still in a central authoritative location <necrodearia> Perhaps a p2p app can be designed to let the data exist without central authority ^_^ <lfm> who to trust can be more of a social problem than a technical one <necrodearia> Although, central authority isn't such a bad thing really <necrodearia> considering for example, yellowpages.com or infospace.com or yp.yahoo.com <necrodearia> all central authorities with the information <necrodearia> So, my idea should still be reasonable <necrodearia> And I recommend several bitcoin-specific yellowpage-liek resources to be available. <lfm> and it should be ok so long as you allow for other trusted lists <lfm> so people dont get thrown out for social/politic or other unrelated reasons they still have a chance to maintain their trust on other lists maybe

I would like to offer my services in exchange for Bitcoins. I am a master certified mechanic, and can offer a help desk style phone in service for anyone stuck trying to fix their car and needs some help.
PM me if your interested.

I think a Bitcoin yellow pages should be established, perhaps as a wiki page?

Perhaps someone should establish a wiki posting of trusted resources? A wiki page that is limited in users that can edit it for extra precaution
|
|
|
Isnt that a source from outside the bitcoin community that could be used to stop the wikipedia article being deleted? That's what I just thought too!
|
|
|
Maybe someone could contact them with a proposal.It would be the shortest route from a to b... Write up a proposal and let peers review it?

moosecrumpted and I recently have been thinking about an idea that may be worthwhile to pursue. <Kiba> hmm <Kiba> becoming rich is so hard. <Dark_Ghost> yeah, otherwise everyone wold be rich <necrodearia> Perhaps some of us could team up together, form a kind of formal organization/group and develop something amazing, such as a game for Facebook that uses bitcoins as currency. <moosecrumpet> i was actually thinking that about 10 mins ago <moosecrumpet> weird <necrodearia> I wonder if it will be possible to implement splitting up profits amongs the devs that design it <Dark_Ghost> i can do graphics (3d mostly through maya), and i've got a little background in game development <necrodearia> I think that would be amazing to accomplish! <necrodearia> I, for one, would love to participate <Dark_Ghost> if we get a good idea, and can form a business plan, i know where to go for funding <moosecrumpet> im a flash and c# developer , own unity pro + iphone + android licenses <moosecrumpet> could do a 3d farm sim game If anyone's interested, come to freenode/#bitcoin-gamedev

Perhaps in theory it could be possible that a timestamp is assigned to a block that predates all other blocks, even the first one?
It's probably possible; it would just mean that someone's computer clock is VERY far off base. Which would be intentional most likely. Does this have any effect on anything other than reliability of statistics? Is there a way to overcome this affect on timestamp data for statistics? sorry to hijack the thread, back to original topic.

In fact, it is far from true. http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=441.msg4586#msg4586Apparently timestamps for newly generated blocks can even have timestamps prior to the last block generated. Snippets of data extracted from blk0001.dat 69273 1279655546 779734388429 69274 1279655947 779734388429 69275 1279655761 779734388429 69276 1279656675 779734388429 69246 1279640200 779734388429 69247 1279640882 779734388429 69248 1279640415 779734388429 69249 1279642645 779734388429 69239 1279638523 779734388429 69240 1279639005 779734388429 69241 1279638976 779734388429 69242 1279639437 779734388429 69037 1279540630 779734388429 69038 1279541270 779734388429 69039 1279541269 779734388429 69040 1279541367 779734388429 And here's a more interesting example. Block 68,462 has timestamp before 68,461 but not before 68,460 Block 68,463 has timestamp before 68,462 AND 68,461 However, block 68,464 corrects things by having a timestamp after all previous blocks. 68458 1279287594 194933597107 68459 1279287774 194933597107 68460 1279287998 194933597107 68461 1279288077 194933597107 68462 1279288037 194933597107 68463 1279287679 194933597107 68464 1279288393 194933597107 Perhaps in theory it could be possible that a timestamp is assigned to a block that predates all other blocks, even the first one?
