In my defense, you deserved a donation anyway. Congrats on getting over 1000 posts! F'n mods always abusing their powers :p Thanks, it is appreciated! Note: This happening in this thread in particular has spawned a whole new group of beggars registering their bitcoin.org forum accounts as I type lol |

Whoever thought of putting a wallet address signature is a fucking moran, there I said it, and spelled it wrong. I was browsing /r/Bitcoin/ and found this With Bitcoin being a pseudonymous currency, staring at blockexplorer transactions isn't particularly enlightening. Who transferred 1,500 BTC? Who actually owns address XYZXYZXYZXYZXYZXYZXYZXYZXYZXYZXYZ? What if there was a website that attached a physical/"real" identity to each address and their transactions, basically a Facebook of Bitcoin addresses?
A user would sign up, create their profile (personal or business) and then associate each of their address with their profile. Initially verifying an address would be something similar to what Paypal does for confirming outside bank accounts (ie send two small payments to the address and have user confirm the two small amounts).
An exploit would be to sign up multiple profiles and just keep all these small transactions, so maybe the service should charge a small initial fee to cover them?
Profiles could be private or public, so you could just use it to as an accounting website for all your addresses, or use it as a way to display trust and establish online reputation for a person or company and maybe even provide feedback on the transactions.
I think in the long run, it could enable "bitcorporations" to operate in an "open-source" manner by making their finances and accounting practices accessible and transparent. It would be a clear record of how much they spent equipment and operations, how much they paid their workers and how much they kept as profits.
This idea is still in it's infancy, so any and all suggestions/criticisms is welcome. Has this already been done before? Would you use/support such a website? Thanks for any and all help and fire away! EDIT:Formatting Now in theory a lot of the same concepts apply, including transparency, which on the forums here with so many things being exchanged in many different markets, there is a built in system of transactions we can all view. I know this would never work, but it's a damn interesting and fine idea. |

And you...have a bitcoin tattoo because you wanted to win a race in a thread on a forum about pretend internet money.
 But this was a contest for children!
Yeah, and Homer beat their brains out.Even though it's stupid, he keeps getting you all, Jalum is pretty damn funny, people feed the trolls here too much, don't let his made up fun interrupt all the made up fun here. |

Maybe you could be on the podcast (except for the name - a little controversal but that doesn't matter too much) can you PM me your skype and I'll consider you as a guest just for the first or second episode?
I'm going to have to jump onto this Skype thing all the kids are talking about, I am honestly not a huge fan of live conversation though, but I have now had 4 different requests to jump on Skype (not even including people I want to have on my show telling me to get on Skype lol). However, you accept the word "Porn" is just a word, not an actual pornography act or thing in porn. This is no different if my user name was "BitcoinCurseword" Some actual controversial names, BitcoinPenis, BitcoinTaint, BitCunt, etc. Censorship sucks, but man, when censorship is happening over words that pertain to controversial topics, well the world has just gone mad. PM me when you have more schedule and format stuff worked out  |

but, the BBB is a private ratings agency. why has the market not corrected itself?
See lemonginger's post. It is actually true. You guys need to realize, the BBB SHOULD not have any value, but currently, it still does, the general market still considers hearing the letters 'B B B' as something that stands for authority and value. We all know it's bull, but just go ahead and as your parents and grandparents tonight what they think. Then take it the real general market and ask your neighbors. You have been able to educate your own family, but they do not represent the general market. I would say there are things to rectify it, but I say fuck it, the system is an old relic and the people who use the service most likely do not care about Bitcoin in the first place. |

Also, no one donates. Ever. But just have it there. Very funny whoever you are! No donations ever, then when you say it and stop asking, bam, donations! Learn from my mistakes newbies 1 - Always beg. 2 - Stop begging. 3 -  4 - PROFIT! I have never seen a question mark/profit chart so accurate. |

Your right, from now on I will focus on one audience at a time.
Random: Young entrepreneur, take that advice to some of the other projects you have and how you present them to people. You should make a project for yourself that would challenge you to focus that one project to a very specific and targeted group just to test yourself. Basically, you have a person who likes Bitcoins. And you have a Male, 15-24, "Gamer", American, who likes Bitcoin. Before trying to find the middle ground with that, make a project where you focus on trying to convert that 15-24 American Gamer Dude into Bitcoin. Then do one for the general public. Sorry to pop all this crap in this thread, but Jaime Frontero is right, and past this thread I see how many sites you have, and I think you should keep doing what you are doing but fine tune and focus (so it does apply to this commercial but a lot of the stuff you do). |

I put up an address in my signature when I first joined as a joke, I felt it was shitty that people were doing it.
Then I changed, I like the idea of rewarding peoples who had posts that I enjoyed, would not random free money encourage them to post more?
Well I can tell you I was wrong. Just have a donation address in your signature for the hell of it, it aesthetically looks nice reading post and having a random bar of characters before the next post.
Also, no one donates. Ever. But just have it there.

BBB at this point in time is sadly still a super great investment for any business that wants to hit the general public audience.
They are like the mafia, they themselves are a scam, but, the masses don't know and educating them right now takes away from profits. Word of mouth on what shit they are, but don't hate on a company for using them.

Interesting old ass thread that I think could use a revisit. The Bitcoin.org forums really were more tight knit not too long ago, I am actually glad it isn't, shows growth of Bitcoin itself, but I think a lot of things in this thread could be looked over again by new eyes |

Shit turned out really good. The end seems cut off a little bit. Text is a lil speedy I think for maybe an older viewer, but not enough to matter. And of course some audio, even though in a weird way I liked how that was silent.

That was my daughter being scammed. We never did receive payment for those bitcoins.
I am sincerely sorry to hear about that over internet forums where the person who did this sits and laughs. It seriously is a fucked up situation, and I hope this text does not come across as sarcastic or something. It is sad the draw for Bitcoin yet the draw for security among the users is not even. So let me ask, are you here on the forums just for this particular situation or do you have actual interest in Bitcoin? (and of course, did this situation effect your previous thoughts, if any). |

I want like ten iron keys, those look solid and bad ass. I like that one dude who promoted his key that is in the shape of a key.
Thanks for sharing these personal experiences with the items, not enough people using them and/or talking about it, especially in relation to how much security gets brought up.

I think hosting two Bitcoin podcasts might be a bit much for me  But I assure you I would love to partake, even if it is just helping you out with your first episode. And let me say, you sound young as fuck lol, but shit doesn't matter, you obviously know what you are going for and set your shit up properly, still wouldn't mind helping if you need any assistance. And if you can't post in the otherside of the forums your show, I'll make a thread there for you. |
