https://github.com/ins-pirat-ion/bitcoin_monthly_contribute = ruby scripts. I use Ruby 1.9.1.
I think it's the beginning of good btc-flattr software

Hard to install but I got it working after 3 days, so now it works nicely

The ruby script collect addresses when clicking Bitcoin buttons like those found on http://coinwidget.com/ and let's you choose if you want to flattr for this month or flattr permanently.

At the end of the month you manually run bitcoin_monthly_contribute.rb to do the payments to the recipients. It connects with either or through RPC implemented in Ruby.

How did you contact them?

I contacted them on twitter but got no reply.

Seriously? A whole AMA by Notch, the Minecraft creator and nobody asked about Bitcoin  
Has anyone except me even tried asking the Minecraft devs what they think about Bitcoin?  

Maybe it could be implemented on the Bitcoin testnet at some point? (with the risk of breaking it as well)

Though as you said, finding a zero-cost solution will not be Zerocoin and Zerocoin as I see it may demand 10 times the resources of the current running implementation of Bitcoin.

What do you others think? Should Zerocoin be implemented in Bitcoin or should it be tried first on a new or existing cryptocurrency? There's a libzerocoin at github. The most recent commit was at 2013-07-12 02:04 titled

By the way, here's the main thread:
"Zerocoin: Anonymous Distributed E-Cash from Bitcoin"

Won't this slow down the Bitcoin network 10 times+? I've read that zero knowledge proofs may in practice take a huge amount of time to verify, in contrast to digital signatures that are verified so far in the Bitcoin p2p network.

Just a question. I feel a bit akward. Seriously, am I the only person on Bitcointalk who likes the music by Josh Woodward? 

Anyway, I guess most people here are not familiar with indie artists

Just found out totally randomly this: https://github.com/ins-pirat-ion/bitcoin_monthly_contribute

Unfortunately I have zero experience with ruby, so I don't know if I can make this run.
Yes I use flattr, but since I among others flattr Bitcoin people, they probably want it in Bitcoin and that makes the most sense.

Flattr allows you to fund your account with Bitcoin. Though creators can only get "fake money" and not Bitcoins, so flattr needs to do something about this. Let the creators get Bitcoins.

I would like some Bitcoin-flattr-like functions in Bitcoin-qt. Then the only thing that would be missing would be sites who have these "widgets" or rather "html/javascript markup" that enables me to click on a button easily on their site("one click" gets registered for a site in Bitcoin-qt for an address x). Then at the end of the month, Bitcoin-qt asks me "Would you like to send your Bitcoin-flattr now to the addresses specified in this list y?". I press yes and I sit back, relax and enjoy myself for clicking on "yes"

Some others had the bad luck of having to program all this 

Please link to a relevant thread that has already been opened on the topic. Couldn't find any

Who here has children? Only answer if you have children.

Those of you who have, if you had a son and a daughter and there was only one computer available in whose room would you put it? In your son's room? In your daughter's room? Why?

There was a reference! But the bitcointalk poster made the title based on the URL and not the NYTimes news article! Please people it is the title of the News Article that is the correct one. Do not let the URL confuse you cause we can't guess the URL y'know
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=170168.0 "New York Times - Bubble or no virtual Bitcoins show real worth"

Real title is

You based the title on the URL, right?

https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/08/business/media/bubble-or-no-virtual-bitcoins-show-real-worth.html

Full title because the full title did not fit in the Subject: field.

I found no reference on the Press section about this. I see it begins talking about Bitcoin and Gavin Andresen is mentioned somewhere down there as the chief scientist of the Bitcoin Foundaction. I need a reference and comments for you to have your say.

Y'know some people only listen to NYTimes.com and nothing else, and takes whatever NYTimes says as gold. Why is that? I know they have a serious look and they sound pretty neutral, but ARE they neutral or is it just an illusion?

Should NOT go to reddit, but to New York Times. Doh!  

My father says that he won't listen to anybody but only somebody serious like the New York Times. What does the New York Times say about Bitcoin and what "experts"(I'm worried about this part!!  ) do they(nytimes.com) get to talk about Bitcoin?

I'm afraid it's a good enough way to describe to my dad. One could call it an account, though otherwise we would say "In Bitcoin there are no accounts, but only hashes of a public keys intermixed with some salt" or is that inaccurate?

Does that price adjust to the current value of a Bitcoin? I'm sorry but my previous statement of "I don't care if it costs more than other services" is not true really. I could do it once or twice but not in a daily way of activity.

Could you peg your price to something stable? I don't think Bitcoin will be stable in the near future. When price volatility increases and goes towards a bubble its not only because there are speculators but also because Bitcoin is growing as a currency...

by going to #bitcoin on Freenode I got my answer.

transactions will stay in each node's temporary memory until the node is restarted, in which case the transaction is erased from memory along with all transactions. That's how transactions are forgotten in the Bitcoin P2P network.

Haha, my question got answered! 

Wow, thx. It would be awesome if somebody knows if this is correct or if something else is true

Question No. 1: what does [ANN] mean when added to topics?

Question No. 2(Short version) How long and if it isn't included for 3 months will it stay there indefinitely until a miner includes it? If a miner does not include it is there anything the one owning the coins can do about it or are they lost? (until some miner accepts them, sry for repeating myself)

Question No. 2(Long version) Let's assume that now Bitcoin is 100% mainstream(let's imagine also in this example that all governments have abandoned their currencies and replaced them with Bitcoin) and that it is very unlikely that transactions can be sent for free anymore. If you send with a 0BTC tx fee then you'll have to wait at least 2 months until the money arrive or get rejected by the network for taking too long to be processed.

So, is there a time limit for how long a transaction that has not yet been spent stays in the Bitcoin transaction sharing P2P network?
If we assume I sent 0.01 BTC to a friend with a 0 transaction fee and that that amount of money has not yet arrived for 2 weeks because no miner wishes to include my transaction, can I add a fee to the same 0.01 BTC that later can be included by a miner if they wish to do it?

If I was not clear, I'm sorry, and please tell me and I'll try to rephrase my questions and examples. Thanks in advance!

You are free to hire whomever you want to review the source code and see to it that nothing bad happens to it, if you are worrying about it.

No respect for Mr. James Altucher for spreading Bitcoin myths around. He probably has no clue at all that all Bitcoin transactions are in the open shared in a P2P network.
He probably also doesn't know that only Digital Signatures. If the interviewer asked what a digital signature is he probably would answer "Sorry? What is a digital signature?"
