People are still even using BitCoinPlus? If I didn't have access to a GPU, I'd still use CPU Mining software in a better pool than BitCoinPlus. BitCoinPlus is feature-limited and only seems to be a meh proof of concept.
I truly do not believe the intention was ever for the individual miner, but rather for the web site owner who has the ability to run the program off their own sites. I have one, I like it, and I haven't earned crap  I am more interested in seeing the technology further. |

I suggest a "Groupon" model. Ask a local vendor provide some discount for the bitcoiners. For example, a cup of coffee was sold 5 dollars, and if someone can pay 0.05 bitcoins to the store, he can buy the coffee at 4 dollars. If we can convince to the vendors that the number of bitcoin adopters is huge enough, then they will accept the offer just like the accept the offer from Groupon.
I agree, more things need to be in place that help promote the stores if the stores cannot do it themselves. People who were going to be investing in starting up their own loan, bank, or whatever institution because they have extra Bitcoin, should instead try and do something like http://metaco.in does. |

Selling illegal goods is not legal. You should have not sold your services, sent out like 20 invites, and let it happen naturally from there if people want to buy ratio and shit. Selling invites from the start using a screenshot showing shit on public trackers is not so great. Cool multiplier system, I have not seen that on torrent sites back ends before.

Holy fuck, lesson learned. It sucks a man had to die, but I mean, you've brought this information to the public and hopefully we can all learn from it (.. never be alone with MtRev)

 http://www.themarknews.com/articles/6018-a-bitcoin-for-your-thoughtsThanks Jerry for a nice interview style piece that covers Bitcoin itself and not all the side news stories that come from it. I am only going to pull a few questions and answers, see the link and read the whole piece, then pass the link along. THE MARK: How would you explain Bitcoin to someone without much tech knowledge?
JERRY BRITO: It's the world's first completely digital distributed currency. What that means is that it's like a dollar, or a euro, or a yen, except that it's not issued by any government – or anyone else, for that matter. We've had virtual currencies before – like Flooz, or Beanz, or e-gold, for instance. In each of those cases, there was some company that issued the currency. So if we both have an account with, let's say, Beanz, and I send you some Beanz, the Beanz corporation keeps a ledger where it subtracts Beanz from my account and adds them to yours. That's the way PayPal works, and that's the way the Bank of America works, with real dollars. What Bitcoin does is eliminate the need to have that intermediary, so that the ledger – where money is subtracted from me and given to you – is distributed among all the users. There's no central bank, and no central authority of any kind. THE MARK: What's the advantage of Bitcoin over hard currency?
BRITO: Here are the advantages, from my point of view. One, it's censorship-proof. .. one kind of overlooked thing about Bitcoin is that transaction costs are very low, so it could very well allow micropayments in a way that traditional payment processors haven't. So, right now, if I wanted to buy an article from The Mark News – let's say I wanted to pay five cents to read an article – with PayPal or Visa, payment processing might cost 50 cents. It wouldn't work; people wouldn’t buy into that. Bitcoin’s low transaction costs make it much more feasible for this sort of thing. THE MARK: What, in your view, is the biggest advantage of Bitcoin?
BRITO: I think this is really revolutionary because of the decentralization. That's the part of this that really gets me excited. Governments seek to regulate the internet through intermediaries. They don't regulate the end users. So take gambling, for example. Say you make internet gambling illegal, as we have in the United States. How do you enforce that? Do you go after the individual gamblers? No. Here in the U.S., what we do is go after the third-party payment processors – the Visas and Mastercards of the world – and we tell them they can't make those transactions. That way, we're sort of deputizing these folks that really have nothing to do with the transaction. The casino's overseas, so you can't regulate it. What would happen if you went after individual gamblers? What do you think? I like that term to describe Bitcoin, censorship proof, haven't seen that used on the forums yet. Also, Bitcoin Weekly ahead of the curve offering a micropayment model for articles (at the time of me posting only a 0.70 donation http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=28681.0 ). Full article is at http://www.themarknews.com/articles/6018-a-bitcoin-for-your-thoughts, check it out. |

And with one poll, one thread from a year ago http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=41.0 , has became two. For your next trick, pull a rabbit out of your ass. This is the only winner  But ฿ is second. Note: The first and last options are no characters at all. Bottom shows up as just a square. Top one starts off with a B but ends with a square character. |

It would make sense if the rest of the world jumps on board, I think Google will be focused on making Google Checkout kick PayPal's ass before they endorse Bitcoins. But I hope I'm wrong. But I'm not  |

How is such a thing possible?
Also, does legit = legal? Or legit = it works?
What guarantees will this one I purchase from you gain me over ones I can download with a Google search. Sell me man, sell me on this great product!

+1 Arbitration. Full on court threads could be fun, but honestly, the gang up mentality of just online groups as a whole, holy fuck it would suck to be right with everyone going against you. Because at that point, it no longer matters if you are right or wrong. Private court/thread. Only mods can view and participate. Maybe then pick 12 "jurors" to watch the thread, make comments, ask questions, just as observers. This way some of the community has a chance to report back to the rest of everyone the events. Or just make a court reporter. I'll transcribe, I like watching these cases. I'll push bitcoinscams.com to anyone for 1 BTC if I can trust they will develop it into a good reference for the community.
Thats it man! PM me a full list of domains you own just to fill my damn curiosity lol |

someone mentioned some script to trap bots and force them to stay on your site, links anyone?
I just want to trap spam bots I get plenty of those, don't want to trap the google bots.
My fee was .01 btc, I wrote asking to reduce the fee to 0.0005 no response yet.
You should meet in the middle somewhere, like 0.005  Holy shit at catching spam bots. I have not heard or read anything of that, I will definitely and obviously be keeping an eye out. I will try and remember you are running java miner site/s. |

So this is just a case of someone throwing the word 'legal' out there with nothing behind it?
I always heard people use the saying 'if you take 7 hits of acid, you are legally insane!' Was there an illegally insane. or "legally sane" for that matter. buh.
