Maybe people will donate to your projects if you release the source code, but I highly doubt that anyone will buy your software.

Even if you make it all open source you'll have to do a good job to get some donations.

Your followers seem to be mostly real when analyzed with twitteraudit.com, however they are following you because you're following them -> they are not reading your content, just following back so you keep following them. Try posting interesting stuff and get a real audience.

Potential Greek exit would destroy the entire Eurozone.

Greece only makes up for ~3.4% of the Eurozone.

For Americans: It's like New Jersey leaving the Federal Reserve System. Would it hurt? Yes. Would it destroy the system? Nope.

The thing is most people don't see buying stuff with bitcoin as worth it when they can buy the exact same things with fiat, because fiat will not go up and bitcoin will go up, so whats the point.

If you look at the chart since Jan 2014 it's mostly going down.... Bitcoin will go up maybe one day, but it takes people to actually use it to be valuable.
1345  Economy / Services / Re: I will write something on a banana and give it to a wild monkey for BTC (5 USD) on: March 27, 2015, 03:07:47 PM
Since you're offering several unusual services for 5 USD maybe you should also try it on Fiverr.com (afaik they accept Bitcoin too, but you'll get paid in USD - I don't know about their fees)
1346  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is it safe to keep your coins in Bitstamp? on: March 27, 2015, 02:53:17 PM
Move them to your own wallet, unless you're planning to trade them on Bitstamp very soon.

Make sure to install all security updates for applications on your computer before you install bitcoin-related software + update your anti-malware software and scan your system.
1347  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How is this possible on: March 27, 2015, 02:37:27 PM
The issue is more likely local PC security related than it is to blockchain.info . If your local machine has malware or the network you are on is insecure ( sniffing, mitm, etc ), then it would be easy for an attacker to get access to your session and steal your coins. I think blockchain.info is fairly safe to use as long as you ensure the security of your local machine and network. Having an offline wallet or hardware device is of course always preferred at the slight cost to convenience.

It might be better now, but blockchain.info is not exactly known to be secure.

Lolwhat? Well, it seems that we have another mindless copy-paster...

Guys, before beginning to write anything you do really need to use your brain on the direct purpose.  Grin

Why would anyone use Bitcoin who wants their part of Ukraine to become part of a country that effectively outlaws Bitcoin? What am I missing? It doesn't make any sense. Of course they have to be insane if they want to be part of Russia, but that's another story.
1349  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: CoinURL sold to the new owner on: March 27, 2015, 07:41:28 AM
The german translation of CoinURL sounds like it was done using Google Translate.

By the way: I think you could get more advertisers if you provide non-bitcoin payment options too (maybe bitcoin-friendly companies like OKPay, Neteller)
1350  Economy / Economics / Re: destroying bitcoins on: March 27, 2015, 07:33:57 AM
I suggest the OP and all we to buy more bitcoin, this is the only valid way for increase the price (or better) the value of bitcoin itself. Destroy it will not raise the value (or at least not now, maybe in the next 20-25 years).

Buy more bitcoins if you have money you can afford to lose. I suggested 'spend bitcoins', even thought many merchants will sell those coins (Overstock keeps 10% in Bitcoin IIRC) - if they are seeing increased sales they will probably recommend Bitcoin --> increases the chance of more people using it.
1351  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Is there any RISK FREE way to invest your Bitcoins? on: March 26, 2015, 09:11:50 PM
1.Find a few unregistered securities (brokers/dealers) in the U.S.
2.Find out who's behind it
3.Report unregistered securities to the SEC
4.Get an award from the SEC (highest award was $30,000,000)
5.Invest in Bitcoins
1352  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Leave Facebook if you don't want to be snooped on, warns EU on: March 26, 2015, 08:56:37 PM
Just another great example of if you are not paying for something, you are the product not the customer.  

I think it's great that the EU take privacy so seriously.

Most internet services are like that. I guess the internet would be quite expensive to use if you had to pay for every service.

in other terms developing a solution to this problem could exist in cryptography outside of a centralized network such a as facebook as we know it today.

Technically you could do that, but nobody is going to use it (remember diaspora?), because centralized services do have a budget for marketing, support in case anything goes wrong and a user friendly interface.

Nothing ironic about it, The Guardian was one of the news outlets involved in the initial publication of the Snowden leaks...

Are you really defending the actions of this guy? He worked for the NSA and sold their intel to the media / Russia instead of changing the way the NSA is gathering information as an employee...
1354  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Leave Facebook if you don't want to be snooped on, warns EU on: March 26, 2015, 06:55:20 PM
Facebook where do i start, the moment you sign up you are a extra $50 for them for marketing purposes nothing else, then you go and put your favorite 'family' pictures on there (guess what?) they no longer belong to you they are now property of facebooks hidden agenda. When you write a update/status the moment you publish thats right it no longer belongs to you.

Never needed this article you just need to read the terms of service lol

Hidden agenda? It's just part of the deal: you're getting access to Facebook, but they're using your information.

You don't have to choose between those two, you can not use Facebook and you can not give any information to the Guardian...

I know, but it's ironic that this article was published on The Guardian.
1355  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Ukraine 'to Crackdown on Separatist Bitcoin Accounts' on: March 26, 2015, 06:48:04 PM
Separatist Bitcoin Accounts? Pro-Russians who are violating the Bitcoin ban of Russia?

I don't think there are any separatists using BTC.
1356  Other / Off-topic / Re: Sex for Bitcoins? on: March 26, 2015, 06:41:43 PM
I only ever heard of one service in Birmingham, UK, but maybe there are more places now.
1357  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Leave Facebook if you don't want to be snooped on, warns EU on: March 26, 2015, 06:36:23 PM
Seriously? I'd rather give my personal details to Facebook than The Guardian. Who thought it was a good idea to publish this story? The Guardian is one of the most irresponsible news outlets when it comes to dealing personal information.
1358  Economy / Economics / Re: destroying bitcoins on: March 26, 2015, 12:53:59 PM
Reducing supply does not  necessarily mean it will maintain or increase demand.

If you want to have a positive impact on the Bitcoin economy spend some coins.
1359  Economy / Speculation / Re: Technicals are bad but... on: March 26, 2015, 01:11:21 AM
It's foolish to think that an offer on OTCQX is going to get Bitcoin to $100,000+.  

However I'm pretty sure that GBTC will get more than 70 million USD in the first year.
1360  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paypal President's Bitcoin Fascination on: March 26, 2015, 12:58:07 AM
David Marcus is the former president of PayPal - he works for Facebook now (integrated payments for Facebook).

Their new president is Dan Schulman - afaik Schulman didn't say anything about Bitcoin so far.
