That's a little gloomy...I hear Switzerland is nice this time of year... |

Congrats! That's a healthy weight! What a blessing.
You're not kidding... so glad they didn't need to hang out in the nursery for a week... or a month in the NICU! |

@Coinabul -- Any news from your meeting with the designer? I'm liking the ||B logo...I see lots of potential there...

Why is it that "depositing" coins in an exchange requires you to transfer coins to the exchanges BTC address? I mean, why do you give them complete control over your coin before you even decide to sell? Do exchanges use all the "idle" BTC for loans and stuff and just keep enough around to handle withdrawls?
Maybe we should have to enter our private keys or transfer coins only when we place a sell BTC order...it seems to me that the exchange concept ignores some of the security features of Bitcoin in exchange for convenience and liquidity.

Why do you all pay attention to this attention whore again? Easily one of the most fucking irritating people on this forum.
While MNW's flare for the dramatic is palpable...I think deep down everyone is curious if he can really pull this _huge_ endeavor off. We not talking trivial ideas here...it just seems too dufficult a project and rather hard to believe. |

It's a little unwise to permit instantaneous irreversible withdrawals...anyone running the exchange who was watching events unfold would have known to halt trading...but once the funds are gone, you can't just roll it all back.
If you won't program your computer to halt trading when ludicrous events occur, perhaps one should build a time delay in before withdrawals are permitted to allow time for human review.
I feel bad for everyone who lost their funds.

Perhaps someone at BTC-E got hacked, and bought all the BTC they could.
If so, they may not be able to withdraw.
I vote hack vs. scam vs. clever stunt by the exchange to get more deposits. |

Any news?
OP said next week  +1. Too funny! |

People losing bitcoins will simply be good for everyone else. The value of all other bitcoins go up. This is not a flaw of any sort because bitcoins are very divisible. So raw eggs would be a perfect currency or at least there would be no problem with them breaking all the time as it makes the raw eggs of others just even more valuable. Oh come on. Being easy to loose in fact is a problem of bitcoin right now. Reminds me I should refresh my wallet backup  Good money has more than one property. Being divisible is one. Durable would be another. A wallet is so easy to back up, and you can make as many backups as you wish, that I'm going to call bullshit on "easy to lose" being a problem. I'd say easy for some to lose. There is no denying that you'll always be able to find someone who can't understand Bitcoin, someone who is careless, and someone who is in too much of a hurry to think about security. I wouldn't call it a major problem of Bitcoin, but I wouldn't dismiss it outright. Not many people want money that disappears when their POS computer crashes. |

May your death act bring you fame and fortune! Break a leg! (Strange as that sounds, that's a phrase of encouragement over here).

You keep bring up this moving the zero nonsense. It would change anything also it will NEVER (I don't mean unlikely I mean NEVER) happen as it is a hard fork on a unnecessary change.
Bitcoin can handle micro transactions just fine. The scenarios describe above are talking about years (maybe decades) down the line. Even if more advances services are built on top the platform is still open and that allows cross compatibility and open free markets for those "gardens". Hardly walled, more like picket fences.
+1. Moving the decimal place doesn't change anything that isn't already easily handled by people familiar with the metric system. And it would seriously futz with the data types in the client. |

Wow....strong work. Can this become a standard part of the satoshi client?

There are a lot of topics with personal insults in recent posts here. It seems to me that Bitcoin community is moving in a wrong direction. It's considered to be normal to insult other members, these offenders don't bear responsibility and continue to do such things again and again. I vote to ban such people. If admins/moderators don't do this, then whole forum will become a big piece of shit.
I guess it's not a personal insult if you make your insults conditional and apply to everyone. I kinda take it personally....and so, to show you how I think personal insults should be handled, say hello to my ignore button. |

"Global Digital Currency" sounds like NWO currency.  Something like "P2P" which implies that there is no central authority should remain in it. Most people who would understand what p2p means and the implications therein don't need it in the logo...those that won't understand it wouldn't be all that interested in the decentralized aspect of Bitcoin anyway. Anyhow, multiple logo options are likely anyhow. |

A professional designer will be working with me on it starting Tuesday. You ain't seen nothing yet  Good. That's what I thought was supposed to be the point of this, the thread has derailed into a bounty competition which I think simply won't work for something that simply has to be really good, not just good. It's never bad to throw around ideas though, it can at least help to see what isn't a good idea. I've learned a little bit about graphic design from this thread...And its really a lot more complex than I realized. The ||B logo stands head and shoulders above all the other logos in the thread...It's got a lot of good ideas built into it. If what we've seen is nothing so far, I can't wait to see what is in store. |

Can you do the "old" colors in the non-gradient style?
Here you go  Looks very professional, may be even too professional. But that will depend on your expectations. Might almost be some corporate logo, so if that what kind of people it has to appeal to it should be perfect I like the 2 line idea better...it sorta reminds people of the $ symbol...I just wish there was some way to evoke the same feeling of cash you get with $€ŁĄ...the text based B with the horizontal bar (a type-able symbol btw) helped evoke the sense of cash too...I wouldn't drop it for anything. |

Moved the font quiet far away from what I originally had, however I do believe it is easier to read. Yeah the font still appears in the background faded heavily... I like it.  I like the lines at the top an bottom of the B shape...It screams "money." Unfortunately, I don't think that the "alarm clock" style display were are all familiar with now will be recognizable by my kids when they are my age. It's a technology of yesteryear, not a timeless symbol. |
