we can't change the whole world but we can change certain things. i don't think anybody can do it alone though. i do agree it's better to try and fail than never try at all. but i think it's better to keep trying until you get it right.

You can change the whole world with code.  I agree with you that you cannot do it alone, but you can put something out there that can grow.. for example, Linux was made in a garage by some hobby guy, now its the biggest software project of the world.

We can make big changes if we have the right tools.  You may like this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COisLGwnb-M and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU2ehHpg9Cw

i can't say i agree with being lazy leads to great decisions. that guy just got lucky.

I am not saying it is always better, just sometimes it leads to great decisions.  I was studying 14 hours a day during the time you bought bitcoin (I did not hear about them due to censorship/studying so much). Whose decision was better? Personally, I think your decision was better.

i know i can't change the world, but it would be nice to start chipping away at the problem. if i could get something started it could be like a ripple effect. look at facebook, at first it was just a small group of college kids who used it. now millions of people use it. it didn't change the whole world but it sure did start a huge shift in the way people communicate.

Yes, Facebook did change the world, but it did not make us more free. See: http://stallman.org/facebook.html
Everything starts as some random guy trying to push some things.  Linux was a hobby project, now its the biggest software project of the world.  You see it with many projects. In the beginning there is nothing.. this is with all the projects.

There are two trends going on right now in technology: software that makes us more free (Bitcoin, Linux, PGP, Crypto software, GNU, Diaspora, Ekiga) and software that takes away our freedom (Facebook, Skype, Apple iOS, PRISM etc).
I do not mean to say that this software is bad, but they contain 'spyware' that makes us less free. This is not some abstract idea, you can actually see the spyware is inside.

this is one of the reasons why i don't like him. he campaigned on hope and change, and now he has become even worse against individual privacy.

His primary goal has always been to be the united states president. If he does not obey the rules imposed by the secret service and powerful corporations he loses his profession/career.   This 'change' is not in the interest of large corporations and neither is your privacy/freedom.

There are some default APIs you can use for it. I had posted a list earlier on bitprize.org you'll have to go back a few pages, to the MIT conference refrence. Also there are some online wallet scripts, have a look on github.com

Ok, so I guess that's why it hasn't been done yet. It would cost too much, and there wouldn't be enough demand to lower that cost. A few people would buy it, but not enough for any profit.

There are other reasons.  Mobile/wearable devices get more common and you can run software on them. To make separate hardware is more expensive.

Instead of going for the mass market, why not make it an exclusive product?

Well, I ment evolution in the sense of 'change' (see dictionary, there are multiple meanings). There has been change. Everything evolves (changes).

when i left home at 17 i quickly learned i need money to survive. ever since then i have been obsessed with making money. i thought by having money i would be successful. i thought money would make me happy. i was wrong. i got lucky and got in to BTC when the price was at $2 and i hoarded all the BTC i acquired. with BTC at $450 i now have more money than i need. now that i have money after spending most of my life chasing it i have realized that money does not make me happy. i need to do something else with my life besides make more money. i have plenty of interests, motorcycles, extreme sports, traveling, technology. i guess i could try and find a way to make a career out of that. but that's not really what i want to do. i want to get in to non-profit work. i noticed that being a good person and helping people makes me happier than buying a new car or whatever consumer product i desire.

I think, in addition, what generally makes us happy is progress.  Remember when you played a video game and achieved the next level? How did it feel?

to be honest, i haven't done anything cause i'm just as lazy as everybody else. it's also hard to get motivated when you're the only one who gives a fuck. a part of me knows i can make a difference, but another part of me knows one person can't change the world. people are too self absorbed and only care about what effects them.

Sometimes to be lazy makes us take great decisions.  For example, there was a guy who took an air plane trip every year at the same day (9/11) but overslept one day.

it's sad that they don't have a place to call home but it's even more sad that people don't care. take this post for example, you were the only one to respond. everybody would rather talk about their new phone, video games, how hot asian girls are, or count to 21 million with pictures, but nobody cares enough to to talk about helping other people. i've tried to bring this subject up to family and friends, their response was the same. they thought about it for a few seconds and went back to thinking and talking about themselves.

Whatever you do today is important, because you are trading your life for it. I cannot blame people for having certain desires. It is true that people have a lot of self-interested, but in addition many of the things they desire are not natural. It is quite disgusting but people are thaught how to desire. See this parody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-0VMnFmnL0

employers can post their location available jobs and contact information. i think it could work but those are just a few of many ideas that are needed to accomplish something like this. the homeless don't have phones or internet access to contact employers. and i would have to find a way to let both the homeless and employers know such a service exists. it's a huge task and i can't do it alone. i was kinda hoping maybe i could get some help from bitcointalk, but i'm not sure if that will happen. guess i have to wait a few more days and see if i get any other responses.

It is possible that homeless get money without joining the current corporate system : they could do BTC jobs and figure out how to make money with bitcoin. I think, this is more valueable to them than to be a worker for another person. Like you said about the story of the fish  Smiley

life should be about being a good person, helping others, love, happiness, all that shit you know is more important but for some reason still takes a back seat when compared to money status and consumer goods.

Status is important amongst other primates. For example, several types of apes have different rankings. Perhaps the biological reason is to increase mating possibilities. The leading ape was (obviously) the one who had the most sex amongst the tribe. The others fucked behind his back.

Life is very expensive, you never get it returned.

Actually you can change the world. Look at how Bitcoin changed the world, and bitcoin is software. Look at how the open source idea changed the world. The world is always changing, and you can try to spin it in a certain direction, be it verbally, trough software or otherwise

Whatever your idea, It is better than to try and fail, than to regret not doing it at all.

Depending on your location, you could try a Bitcoin ATM.   http://bitcoinatmmap.com/
Another option is a local trader (afk), trade directly.

You realize when faucets were paying out over 1 BTC per claim people said they were a waste of time (since BTC had almost no value), right? Then when they went down to 1 mBTC people said that (and now it has value). In a few months/years, people are going to look at what faucets pay out now and wish they had done them.

This is a good point.  BTC may rise over the next years, but for it to be worth $400 per 0.0001 BTC it would need a gigantic rise. I think its likely to that 0.0001 BTC will be 4$ or $40 in the future.

If I was in his place, I would have done it too. After all, spying upon half the world, is a thing much greater than me.

It is far far beyond simple spying.  Imagine a search engine with the worlds information.

You have political opponents? you look in the search engine where they are, and order a kill squad
Your business is doing bad?  you look in the search engine what others are doing, ruin their business opportunities/deals
You don't like some person of your old class?  you ruin his relationship using their data
You have a whistle-blower in your team?   you take his information, look for everything that is negative, make mass media broadcast it. Try to kill him without trial;

The possibilities are endless

i think it's by design. defund education, control the major media outlets.. and control the people. last week's episode of vice was a good example. there are people in texas who rely on water/rain for sustenance, and there hvae been droughts the past few years. they still deny that the drought could be caused by climate change.

I do not have PRISM access to look up the actual data on other Americans. Perhaps one of the NSA members could reply in this thread.

it is very clear that the major feature of Darkcoin is anonymity..Darkcoin helps anonymity by pooling the transactions to gether in the block chain.

But if its anonymity, then why go for darkcoin when there is dark wallet that does the same with bitcoin itself.

There are always multiple projects trying to solve the same thing in a different way. Like it is the case with many products, be it cars, computers or other. Dark wallet may push them off the market, but they are still in alpha version now. The guys are working hard on it, see https://github.com/darkwallet/darkwallet/graphs/commit-activity
 the code activity varies from 60-200 changes per week.

LOL, only retards that "invested" in BC think it's worth anything, everyone else knows that it was a very succesful pump and dump.

I have been watching the price, is going from $0.13, $0.10 and now $0.07  
I dont know if it will be pumped later, but this post could help. I think the name is good, it sounds better than say 'feathercoin' (no offense) Smiley
