There was a guy here with the identification of bipolarbob, what happened to that guy and what was the idea behind what he/she does?

He is one of the most generous people around the forum => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=343899
Some people wanted to feed their curiousity and foud out that he owns Bitcoins worth of 1 million dollar , still we cannot be sure that's the good about Bitcoin I guess "being annonymus"
Anyway , that user isn't active since January 21, 2015, 03:55:21 AM , But pretty sure he will come back , he always do Grin probably on an Alt account .

So there are actually good and generous people in here too? I'm almost shocked, but it's nice to hear.
With so many scam accusations and ponzi schemes, I start thinking that everybody became bad. Good to hear I was wrong.

It can be good work but I am scared if it becomes a general solution they try to find the ways to ban it.

They can't. They can't ban the internet of the whole world, and bitcoin and all the altcoins.
But they can limit the websites that trade bitcoin, the servers..., use proxy and close the ways of limit although it seems impossible to do this 100%

They can't make laws in foreign countries.
They can do some limitations. But not great. And if bitcoin is limited, next day an altcoin will take its place. Here and there somebody will accept their "money". If nobody else, then China or Russia will do.

monerohub (.com?) sounds interesting to me too, but it may be even farther from the initial idea - support for MEW.

Also, as idea: voting for these ideas should be "checkbox based", not "radiobutton based" (I don't know how to explain better/easier). And the name with more points will "win".
Just.. yeah... this idea came a little late and may not be useful for current voting, for the main reason that the voting has already started with another "set of rules".
You mean a binary Instant-runoff voting? That is, several yes, but no ranking between the yes?

Wow, I didn't expect to see a wiki about voting! Yes, that's what I meant.

There is no voting in the community (the Drupal module advanced poll may allow the technical part of it, though). MEW uses First-past-the-post voting with weighted voting (Risto calls it "stake-o-cracy") and show of hand. Not this is is a MEW vote (so it doesn't apply here), just for information.

OK. (I am still impressed by so many info).

The most popular proposals are moneroeconomy.com, monero-economy.com and monero-mew.com, all ex aequo.
Now if we consider only votes after the final list (some people updated their votes, some did not so we don't know if they decided to stick with their choice or did not know about the new options) then we have moneroeconomy.com, with 4 "updated" vote
(all the othe have less "updated" votes - the closest contender is xmrmonero.com with 2 votes or 3 if we consider that smooth, being active here, just did not change his mind.

Reminder: community voting is consultative only - see it as a "primary". Internal voting at MEW will decide.

This clears up the things. And yes, MoneroEconomy.com may be better choice than monero-economy.com

16047  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Darkcoin Is Leading The Altcoin Race? on: February 11, 2015, 02:17:32 PM
For now it seems to be leading indeed. However, I am not convinced it's for real or it's only a bubble (though I've read the news too).
16048  Economy / Speculation / Re: Would I only have invested my money in... on: February 11, 2015, 02:05:55 PM
The only thing that comes quickly into my mind is Swiss Franc. Which I knew of and I knew it will rise someday.
I didn't know of BTC 2 years ago so it would be unfair to pick it.
16049  Economy / Speculation / Re: Was that the bottom ? on: February 11, 2015, 01:35:44 PM
Any thoughts?

The chance to get to 0.01$ is the same as the chance to go to 100,000$.
This being said, though I hope for BTC to grow, and do that fast, I still think that we may be far from the bottom and bad days will still come.
16050  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Community Test on: February 11, 2015, 01:32:12 PM
Tomorrow I will post the private key for a wallet holding 10 BTC.

Then, I will check the balance after ten days.

That will tell me if this is a community I want to be a part of.

Unless this is trolling (these days such claim is more likely to be trolling, but I'll assume it's not), for your own good, 0.1 or even 0.01 BTC will do the job.
If you will publish the private key in plain, with no tricks / puzzles, you can check back in minutes, it will be already emptied.


Minutes? You are being generous, I say someone already coded a small script to watch this post history for any private key string and transfer all the coins in a glimpse Cheesy

If I would still not believe that he's trolling, I would make that script myself.
10 BTC is a great prize for some 1-2h of work (that much because I lack experience on this yet).

Afaik 0 fee means:
With some luck, it should be processed in 3-5h.
With a lot of bad luck, it could take even 3 days.
16053  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - 0.8.8.6 on: February 11, 2015, 01:01:13 PM
Monero's 1 year birthday is approaching on April 18, 2015. How do you guys want to celebrate?

I hope that viewkeys will finally work by then and I'll be able to check now and then my small amount on a paper wallet.
And maybe I'll keep some BTC from sig campaigns and buy even more XMR exactly in 18 April.


Dogecoin halvings and birthday used to be tipping partys on reddit. But I don't think that we (will) have a tipbot. Also the community on reddit is much much smaller.

16055  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best altcoins to have gamble on. on: February 10, 2015, 06:18:03 PM
I'd say Monero and FIBRE, both long term.
Both innovative in their own way, both have active devs and community.
16056  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Monero Economy Workgroup - The MEW Thread on: February 10, 2015, 05:47:47 PM
Updated and added NeuroticFish's proposals. So you can change your vote if you wish.

I'm not sure if here is the place to vote or if my vote counts (I heard that you have to pay to vote in MEW?) but my vote goes for monero-economy.com
16057  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - 0.8.8.6 on: February 10, 2015, 05:23:25 PM
xmr-economy.com or monero-economy.com may sound better / more professional than monero mew (which sound like monero meow)...
mew can stay in website meta to be found by search engines.

...Just an idea, not sure if others said this before.
16058  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin's failure to scale will show the failure of decentralized systems! on: February 10, 2015, 04:11:30 PM
The key reason for the lack of mass adoption is the lack of need for this.

People still use their credit card or their money. And while they don't find the system as "broken" they will not try to "fix it".
Some people tried to use bitcoin to hide illegal activities or to hide their assets. They have found out that bitcoin is not great for this kind of uses.

And what we do?
Instead of find and fund ideas to make bitcoin become indeed useful for something, we use out brains to scam each other (thus give a bad name to bitcoin), fight and dream of another bubble.


There are not enough businesses that accept bitcoin.
There are (almost?) no businesses that pay in bitcoin.
Is bitcoin a currency? Not yet.


Then, give a good reason to the average Joe to buy / use bitcoin....
16059  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: What Do You Want in a Signature Campaign? on: February 10, 2015, 03:51:39 PM
My votes would go for faster payment rounds (bi-weekly would be already great) and payment to the user's wallet.

However, until now Bit-X is a better signature campaign for me than most - it's more flexible on where to post and also the minimum number of posts is really easy to reach - no stress.
16060  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Book release : Blockchain Programming in C# (Part 1) on: February 10, 2015, 03:18:23 PM
For some reason I missed this thread until now. First thing: I downloaded the pdf.
I will read it, I will try to understand it. First thing I like: it's not too long!!

Big THANK YOU!
