This is why serious exchanges of ideas are best done on anonymous boards: neither reputation nor authority get in the way of ideas. Maybe in the future I'll add an anonymous section to the forum.
Sigh. It sucks it would have to come to that. I already notice the mass amount of hand on modding going on, it will be sad if there is a forum set up just so people can act rude and childish to each other

haha, the spammer has stepped up their game I've noticed, just reusing established Bitcoin videos, smooth.

idk about that.
Can I take this time to make a quick suggestion? Your website is a bit of a tease. Anybody can find random xxx images on the internet. How about some nerdy bitcoin girls on live cams?
Believe it or not, not everyone can find random xxx images on the internet, my site does more than fine It was created as proof of concept using the Java Mining with me throwing in two Bitcoin related things a day, about, and so far it has legs of it's own, so I have no desire to go down any cam site path (and if I did, I assure you it wouldn't be started on any forum lol).

Current physical currencies were once represented by other currencies. Things will evolve. They will share the same timeline for a while before one knocks off another.

Can somebody give me a quick breakdown of the demographic that visits Reddit?
I don't find any of their articles to be productive nor the comments from ignorant people. reddit > bitcoin.org. Never forget.

Wow, reading about it right now, was about to make a thread, but this summed up what I know about it so far, reading in another window. Edit, the article, which seems like it was paid for more than written, but that is wrong to accuse a writer I don't know of such things, it just feels that way. BitTrust is an API in private beta that promises to make life easier for developers wanting to make use of Bitcoin as a fundamental part of their application.
The API facilitates transactions, commissions, affiliate sales and user profiles and messaging, as well as an auctioning system. It’s a bit like eBay in an API for Bitcoin developers.
Most interesting, however, is BitTrust’s ratings and reviews system. One of the biggest features of Bitcoin is that it provides a certain level of pseudo-anonymity, but it’s also a liability when you’re buying from untrusted, anonymous sellers.
BitTrust has the lofty goal of providing a feedback system much like eBay’s, in which traders and retailers are rated and reviewed by buyers. The seller doesn’t have to be identified and can retain their anonymity if they wish, with the system working off their chain of transactions and the ratings provided for those transactions.
It seems like a great first step towards providing verifiability and trust in such an unregulated economy. The strength of the system is that the ratings aren’t fragmented; all developers will be able to access the same ratings for sellers whether they were rated through another application or not.
Despite persistent trouble over the last couple of months, Bitcoin is still around and kicking, and the emergence of platforms like these bodes well for its future — even if it ends up being a future in a niche.
Visit the BitTrust website for more information and details on how to get into the beta. http://thenextweb.com/dd/2011/07/12/bittrust-api-makes-developing-apps-that-use-bitcoin-a-breeze/

Vegetta should've paid her for all the great advice she was giving away in that thread.
At the least he should have been sent a bill for the unnecessary repeated verbal lashings, shit ain't cheap in that market (then again it is a lot of business owners who like that).

I guess if someone were to just happen to have a lot of hardware already installed and at their disposal it would seem smart to put it to good use. But it seems to me in the end it's just a rich man's game. If I had disposable income I would probably play around with it like this I suppose - it would be fun!
And there you go, you did enough research to come to the conclusion most people don't realize till after they make hardware purchases lol You broke down numbers really good but I think there is just too many variables that would fuck up anyones guesses on how things will be over the next six months.

Look at that thread: that's the sort of thing people from outside these forums are linking to, so that's how people who haven't heard of Bitcoins are seeing the project. Don't worry about the US government sabotaging Bitcoin, we're doing an awesome fuckin' job of that ourselves and it's not costing them a cent.
This. So much focus on the wrong things in that thread. So amusing how it was made, was linked to in Reddit, and now it is back here on the forums as Bitcoin Discussion, talk about not letting shit go lol Everyone thinks Vegetta is not going about his site the right way, he has advice, he did not take well to it, fuck it, let it go, this thread and possibly that reddit submission definitely did not help all this shit (but I understand people like picking on people online, sucks if it has real effects that hinder other business' from progressing with Bitcoin)

Meh, fuck 'em all, let 'em cry lol

I'm glad I was there for what seems to be on the most amusing threads in Bitcoin history, where Vegetta seems to have pissed off the whole internet lol.

Dude, this is awesome. Getting shit done man.

Bitcoins have the ability to be anonymous. They are not *supposed* to be anything. You are jumping to conclusions.
This. It is a great benefit if people choose to use it. The ability to have many address' always meant to me that you have public ones and private ones.
