I'm also a Pastafarian and I'd like to point out that our holy day is Friday, so there's no competition there.
BTW, "churches around the world" all have service at the same time, no matter what time zone? Now that's some coordination right there.

Yep, and at a great price, thanks to your Metaco.in deal. I was the second buyer.

I was at work and some customers came in talking about a plane crashing into a building in NYC. I called my wife who was at home recuperating from minor surgery and asked her to turn on the TV and tell me what was happening. Once I realized the gravity of the situation, I immediately called my friend who lives in Manhattan to make sure he and his family were okay. Amazingly, I got through. He was fine and he asked me to call his mom to let her know he was safe since he hadn't been able to get through to her. Of course I called her right away and she broke into tears of relief; she hadn't been able to get through, either.

Wasn't the key concept that it is a lot faster (as long as you need to be convinced by confirmations) and doesn't require specific trust in one specific, reputable 3rd party (like Mt Gox or Gavin), only the nodes? That's the trade-off: decentralization means verification can only be through the nodes, which requires some time. This is also why transaction fees are still a necessary evil, even with bitcoins; miners need some kind of incentive to process the blocks. Maybe once all the BTC have been mined transactions can be verified more quickly. |

Just a note, i don't like that OpenID thing; i feel way more secure having different login info for each site than placing all eggs in the same basket
You can still register to the site with the original login interface. The OpenID login didn't replace it, only supplemented it. |

0/conf will work for retail transactions. I bet the rate of people using a double-spend technique to screw people out of money would be roughly equivalent to the rate of people using counterfeit bills for a cash transaction. And whoever the retailer is can use security cameras or other techniques to track the perp down and prosecute them.
...unless you're buying something expensive, like a big-screen TV. Are you really willing to risk jailtime to try and steal a couple grand from a retailer who probably has security cameras aimed at your face? Besides, retailers expect a certain percentage of fraudulent transactions with all current transaction methods. Credit cards (chargebacks), checks (NSF), cash (counterfeit), etc. As long as that percentage doesn't increase with bitcoins, they'd probably be fine with it. Even if the percentage does increase, the savings on credit card processing should balance at least some of it. In any case, these expenses just get passed along to the customer. |

What exactly is Slashdot? You really must have just not done any surfing. I'm almost 40 with a full time job that doesn't require internet access and a family and even I've heard of Slashdot. |

Thanks to everyone who's purchased coffee from BitBrew so far. This might turn into a profitable venture after all!
The last of this week's beans will begin roasting in about an hour, so anyone who wants to place a last minute order should do it now. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for Monday's batch.

I'll send you a PM in the morning but I can tell you my superpower right now: I can read sarcasm in plain text without the assistance of emoticons.
