I opened the package, tried it on, then put it back in the package without any harm done. * Dual quartz clockwork (two separate time indicators) * Mineralglass * Watertight * Leather band * Diameter: 52mm * Height: 14mm * Band with: 22mm * Band length: 27cm Sample images: http://imgur.com/a/3BhVp11.5 BTC for the watch, including shipment within the Netherlands. International shipment +2.5~8.0 BTC (depending on the destination.) (All with track&trace) Anyone interested can reply here or send me a PM.

Geez man RagedMonk, do you have some personal grudge against bruce? You may not like hist views or blame him for things he did in the past. But you take things nicely out of context to put him of as the devil himself.
A man with wicked views and a criminal record can still have good qualities, and the show is a good promoter, nobody who watches this show knows Bruces entire history, and nor is there any need for that since that's not subject of the show. This is a show about Bitcoin, not about Bruce.

I really wonder why this hasn't been adopted by the main client yet, anonymity is one of bitcoin's key aspects, yet every transaction potentially leaks a lot of addresses you don't wish to be associated with.

I don't see how this would be possible.

Hmm, dwave again... They tricked us last time, i highly doubt this is the real deal..

I've been doing this for what? the past 6 months, if not longer, the usual reply is either, no reply at all or just an answer like 'no we accept paypal only'

Yesterday there was a short item about bitcoin brought up on the occupy-mumble server and i was able to record it in time. This may reflect how most occupiers think of bitcoin. http://www.zshare.net/audio/97162286c26905e6/ (for some reason the audio won't play for me on-site, but it's only 14mb) Also, there was some chatting going on, that came down to 'we need a world without money!' and 'bitcoin will just fall back into a system that we have now'.

Don't like it, don't use it! You have other fully decentralized android clients... For people like me though, light clients are the future!
True ofcourse, i did test it, and it works fine, i can't complain about that. I'm just pointing out some serious concerns i have

In the clip the woman in the future is confused by the term 'expensive' as money no longer exists This is why we can't have nice things. I think you're confused if you think that this is going to happen before humanity wipes himself off the planet xD Most women just want to have more, bigger, better, shinier, and more, oh yea, and they want more. And not to discriminate i have to mention that most men are exactly the same. As for a movie, it's very inspiring to watch ofcourse.

Since we're back at using centralized solutions, we might aswell drop bitcoin and go back to classical banking.
How does something like this represent the idea that bitcoin stands for?
I understand the point of the blockchain not being on the phone, for storage and bandwith reasons. The arguments i hear most are outdated i think. -Most new smartphones have at least 16GB internal storage. -You don't download the entire blockchain over the mobile network, use wifi for that and only mobile for transactions and updates.
And yea, i know your phone may have only 512mb of storage, but that doesn't matter for now since the masses of people ain't gonna use bitcoin for at least another 5 years, IF it ever gets off the ground in the first place. By then, smartphones will have 1TB storage and at least a 10mbit mobile connection, so yea, we can keep it decentralized!
[edit]
Ok, this is what i see is a potential problem. This bitcoinspinner company wants to make money.. but oops, the app is free. (ofcourse it, is, and always will be, you'll be paying with personal information from your phone) So, they invent the system all over again, they will start to lend out non-existing bitcoins to users, at a nice rate. Where do those bitcoins come from? Well, from the other users that have plenty balance, unless everybody wants to spend all the money they have at once, they will be doing fine, just like the banks!
The 'you own the keys' argument doesn't really hold up imo, after all, you 'own' your creditcard too, still the company manages it and in the end has ultimate control over it.

Bitcoin is a great way to decentralize an economy, but I don't really think that cryptocurrencies are 'old' enough to become a country's economy. Ofcourse, it's new, it's scary. But i'm just very suprised that they aren't even 'open minded' (as they claim to be) to a brilliant concept. Yet, they try to think of their own kind of money, probably gets down to trading classic goods and resources... This was one of the few groups i really expected to jump on bitcoin eventually, maybe not initially, but in a few weeks or so.

Funny though, i've just been discussing with an occupy group and guess what their #2 item was... "reforming the monetary system", yet if you bring up bitcoin they all group up and form a group that looks an awfull lot like this

All of those physical solutions allow the private key to be read without damaging the 'seal', so i won't use them

weusecoins.com is a much better intro point i think.

nice quote from a company that uses second grade outdated hardware and sells for enormous profits
|

Every individual who supports blacklisting of any money totally misses the point of money i think. I for one would stop using it and switch to an alternative currency.

+1 This idea is fantastic. I would love to see this in a future version of Bitcoin.
If this gets implemented, the next step is definitely adding it to the GUI somehow. Make it very easy for lay users to make use of the functionality.
Well yea, without this option in the GUI it's pretty useless for the average user I think it's one of the key features that people will like about bitcoin.

Whether it is dollars, euros, pesos, or bitcoin... there will always be a 1% and a 99%. Unless everyone holding major bitcoins wants to pass them around and share with us poor 99%ers.
Bitcoin isn't designed against making a profit or against big corporations. However, the current monetary system IS designed to keep the 99% poor and the 1% rich, and worse, it's designed to increase the gap dramatically over time. In that aspect, bitcoin is very different, i don't think everybody should be equally wealthy/poor, some people are just lazy /b/tards, some work their ass off their entire lives. Also money becomes useless when everybody is treated as absolute equals.

Because they don't really care and most of them are just there to party... I tried several times to bring up bitcoin as an idea, but they aren't even interested in the slightest way. (maybe some are, but i haven't met them)
