Would be nice to note somewhere that this is an x86-64 build. Terrible surprise after trying to boot it up on one of my older machines.

Thanks for the effort though!

Keep it up Cuddlefish! Looking forward to the increased functionality so that I can take better advantage of hot local bitcoin currency exchange action going on!

Actually, there is no such local action going on. But there will be! Probably.

Also, I think the My Orders page should also list the location of the order, for those of us who might be out of town for long periods of time. Might be useful to some.

Great!

The "NEW" button next to each title is really handy, but I think that button should also be at the top of each thread somewhere.

If you accidentally click the title of a thread instead of the new button, there's no way to then jump to the new posts with first clicking the back button, then hitting the new button.


+1!

Forgot "-Preliminary development of double-secret CIA backdoor and un-anonymizing framework" in the notes.

I haven't gotten any payouts yet. Have we solved any blocks?

Edit: Sorry, I was replying to the statement that someone was getting higher than usual payouts. I didn't realize that he was speaking about projected payouts.

Security does not spring from might, but from all people having access to the necessities of life.

Money, if it exists as a popular idea, should be a means to an end, not an end in and of itself.
1330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gavin will visit the CIA on: June 04, 2011, 05:59:07 PM
Update your will, insurance and important secret documents that are to be released after your untimely demise. CIA agents and persons of interest always have a way of getting into unfortunate automobile accidents or plane crashes or heart attacks or auto-erotic asphyxiation mishaps or suicides.

Good luck!

When I saw the last two zeitgeist documentaries two things came to mind:

-Communism
-Cornucopianism??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornucopian

I agree in that many problems we have are (directly or indirectly) caused by our monetary system, but I think a free society cannot depend on plans by "the whole society". If there's no money, there's no free trade and there's no freedom.
The venus project is in conflict with "my ideology" which is a strange mix (still developing) between libertarian and Gesell's ideas. Also influenced by community views such as the youtube channel PeakMoment, free software and free culture.
I invite you to read this book:

http://voluntarykaraism.com/wp-content/uploads/Library/Friedman,%20David%20D/The%20Machinery%20of%20Freedom%20(1973).pdf

That was the book thing about anarchocapitalism that I read.
Maybe you don't become libertarian, but I bet you will become more suspicious about "wise governments" and the "public interest".


Anyone talking about freedom is trying to sell you something. We are all subject to the physical laws of nature.

It also has the perverse outcome of removing bitcoins from the economy in case they are lost or destroyed, which is easily mitigated in the digital form by the current ability to easily back up and make copies of wallet files.
1333  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Introducing Bitbills! on: May 10, 2011, 02:36:01 AM
I don't think this idea is sustainable in the long run. It seems kind of wasteful to produce a physical one time use product like this.
1334  Economy / Economics / Re: A Resource Based Economy on: May 10, 2011, 02:30:34 AM
Zeitgeist is pure fail.

I watched the whole film. It simply posits, that there will be no scarcity....I mean lol?
It then postulates that some means of resource allocation mechanism will become available, probably based on "computers". Our current best computer systems can't even predict the weather, the markets or any non-linear, chaotic, feedback system well. Somehow the Zeitgeist gods will fix it though...don't hold your breath though since the producers of the film don't seem to have any grasp of computation.

One of the founders states that human societies should be "emergent", and that we live in an imposed system; our current crappy monetary system. However, it then goes on to *impose* it's own **non emergent** solution...Irony much!?

Now think of this...you live in a wonderfull concentric domed city, like in the movie, called domed-ville. We live in a nearby city called Liberty-ville. There's a shared water table between the two cities, with only enough water to feed one city.....

Well the Zeitgeist people have declared an end to scarcity....this is the new resource based economy afterall. Meanwhile their computer has decided that the resources belong to everybody! Trouble is, people in liberty-ville being a little more pragmatic, have an issue with this...oh and they have lots of guns.



There are a variety of ways to overcome water shortages using technical solutions. Using violence is not a long term solution and in fact is more wasteful. Would you rather live in a society that used their brains or their guns to solve problems?
1335  Economy / Economics / Re: A Resource Based Economy on: May 09, 2011, 02:02:28 AM
You know, after page 1 (in fact, after the first reply) i was hoping this topic would be dead.
I guess that's because you believe everyone has the simplistic view that everything they don't agree with is
...retarded...
and therefor unworthy of discussion. It must be surprising to learn that people might think differently than you. Welcome to this world of new ideas!
I don't know why you would be excited about Bitcoin, in fact you should hate it if you want a resource based economy. Bitcoin flies in the face of everything you believe because people spontaneously, for the purpose of convenience, created a currency to trade with one another.
I'm glad to come across an expert in everything I personally believe! Can you do that with everyone or just
...retarded individuals...
such as myself?!
1336  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's the largest transaction fee you were asked to pay? on: May 09, 2011, 01:00:53 AM
.05 on a 2.17 transaction. I switched over to the old client which doesn't enforce fees to get around that. Took nearly 36 hours to confirm.
1337  Bitcoin / Press / Re: Bitcoin press hits, notable sources on: May 08, 2011, 02:20:44 AM
em3rgentOrdr, LOL, that too  Cheesy

BTW there are some flash drives which are being marketed that even if they go thru a washing machine they still works and no data is lost. I guess it makes bitcoin, stored on such pen drives, good money than.  Wink

Speaking of which (and I apologize for the off-topic post), anyone know where I can get the toughest USB memory stick available? Or maybe the most secure?

https://www.ironkey.com/ is supposedly the toughest.

Alright! We're launching the beta in a few hours. Hold onto your hats, people!


I am very excite!

This is very similar to what www.Ubitex.org is doing.
