That increasingly shrinking proportion of XP users are increasingly going to be comprised of the people with (seemingly) no choice but XP; the poor (as well as those with poor opportunities to get hold of machines capable of running modern OS's, which are mostly still the economically poor). I know, I know, with a bit of work they could install a nice undemanding Linux distro that would be a much better all ways round, but that underestimates how protective the less computer savvy sort of individual would be over their only working PC. The extent to which such a machine, in a known working order, is valued by such a person perhaps cannot be overestimated; they might depend on it for a current system to receive foreign remittances, for instance. I'd be very amused to hear of Nepalese or Zimbabwean Armory users making successful use of Armory on a 384 Mb 1Ghz XP machine! If they could even thrive with such a setup, then that would really be something. (has anyone ever tested it on Windows 2000?  ) To be clear, I have nothing against accommodating those OSes. It's just a matter of priorities. If we can support it, I'd be happy to, but I need to get some of the more critical usability issues out of the way, first. your priority should be Mac at the moment...many users use the armory for mac and I myself have A LOT of bitcoin stuck in it... I have to agree, I think Alan is spread a little too thin, doing so much cool stuff, while trying to make it multi-OS usable. That will never work, I think Alan should be trying to get a good build process that will be able to output windows, linux and Mac binaries. Until then development has to be paused otherwise it will always be a rat race with new developments and OS binaries. |

Are you fucking retarded?
No but name calling? Really, that is the first sign that is a scam. I call you out and you jump to name calling and stuff. I am not going to act like a kindergarten that just learned a curse word yesterday, I like to keep it kinda upscale and I will leave you to your own devices. Enjoy the scam. |

He actually shared the idea to me, thinking I would invest money for it. Obviously he wants everyone else to do the work and get the profit. It is basically every other gambling site, just that it changes the name. The idea would fail since no one knows the person with the idea or any of the developers here. Hence why he wanted me to invest, probably to get a name attached to the project.
Ummm, no I did NOT ask you to invest money for it. That was not my goal in messaging you. I was looking for help in figuring out how to code some stuff on a website, as well as advice. EDIT: ALSO, to get a name attached to it? I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU POSTED IN THE NEWBIE SECTION ASKING PEOPLE TO BOUNCE IDEAS OFF OF YOU, THATS WHAT I DID! It actually needs little funding
Yes you wanted money. And yes a name attached, you see I am a Hero Member so you were like if I get this dude, I instantly have trust. |

A couple of thoughts on this. Gweedo, Im not coming at you. I see your point in defining a review site versus a directory site. But if this guy wants to think outside the box build a site geared towards being a high quality directory site and then he wants to add his own research & assessments in the form of a review then so be it. Its his contribution to the community. A good one at that.
He didn't think outside the box, we have so many directory sites, it is an over created market in this community. I am just pointing out a flaw in what he said and how the site works. Gweedo, I just saw that you have a BTC related directory so it makes sense why you have strong opinions on the matter and perhaps a more developed idealogy behind running a directory then myself but my above post remains the same. Cheers gentlemen have a good weekend  *Disclaimer I don't run the site in my sig. I just developed it, and as part of the contract to build it, I decided to put it in my sig. It is actually getting replaced by another url soon.  * Also I again I could care less, just pointing out a flaw in the thinking. This is what forums are about talking out problems and debating views. |

I thinking flagging sites as "warning" is a very opinion based and not what a directory should be. If the site is clearly a scam then why would you have it on your site anyway? This is something I was hoping people would debate. Taking Mt.Gox as an example, I would hate to refer someone to them, only for them to make a fiat deposit and been unable to withdraw it. This is something I feel they should be warned about. As BFL are shipping and Virtex's ToS are quite clear then I can see an argument for removing those warnings. The warnings on securities and derivatives can be easily justified, I think. If a site is a scam, I wouldn't list it = I don't think any of the sites on there are scams. So this is a review site, not a directory, you are talking about two different sites now. Cause I could say something about most of those sites, that should be a warning. Also people should do their own research, as you claim this is a directory, if it was reviewer then I can see the warning. |

more details might be useful.. what do you need simple webhosting or webhosting and storage. do you think it will need much bandwidth
if its things like porn 99% of webhosts dont really care
I can't give too many details but basically users can upload images let's say the max would be like 2mb. I just don't want to moderate any of the images. And you be surprised what hosters TOS say about porn and just offensive things being hosted. |

I am not going to be anything illegal as in the sense of hosting torrents, DMCA content, doing spam attacks, email spam, wazes or anything like that. I have an idea and before going down this path, I want to make sure a web hoster would host it for me. I basically want to host images that maybe not be suitable for work, it would be user submissions and I want it to be uncensored. I really don't want to buy a server and co-locate it. I be willing to pay in bitcoins, even throw in some extra, but I just want to see my options before building this and going on with this project.

I'm working on a visual prototype, not finished just looking for pointers on how to attract investments.
As long as it works the best it can and shows the concept, that is how you attract investments. Also be very clear in your pitch what you want to accomplish. Also write a business plan, I can't tell how many people just pitch me an idea, and I go ok where your business plan and they don't have one. That would make you stand out in the bitcoin community a lot. |

BUMPTY Come on newbies you have no ideas on how to start the next big thing in bitcoins?

Scary place, this bitcoin marketplace. My first purchase, I got screwed. Merchant says he never saw the payment, but my wallet is depleted -- he uses some Mt.Gox storefront service, says contact Mt.Gox, he's not interested in my blockchain cite because the wallet is some Mt.Gox wallet that he knows nothing about. If I paid with a check, I could stop payment; if a credit card, I could contest my bill. Nobody's in charge here -- all fun and games until someone loses an eye. So, serious question, to protect themselves in BTC deals, do people ever use recognized escrow services? If so, who's highly regarded? If not, someone please launch one!
That is the merchants fault for choosing Mt Gox, when he should use his own bitcoind and not use 3rd party merchant tools. |

- If I have the right unspent outputs for it, I'd like transactions to be paid for from a single addresses and the change to go back to that addresses.
Horrible bitcoin practice, once an address is spent it should be considered disposed. Remember when the android, had that random number issue, and people were able to get to bitcoin addresses, thru the signatures in the transaction, that is why. Understood. But: - You have to backup your wallet regularly - which for a mobile platform is a far worse prospect. - This confuses the hell out of newbies. - The current Schildbach wallet does this already anyway, so it's no worse than the status-quo You'd have to go down the deterministic wallet route (there's a BIP for that somewhere right?). I don't mind that, but I think it should be an option. This is becoming so off-topic, open a new thread and be happy to explain to you all the issues of sending coins back to a used address and what new techniques are coming up in the bitcoin community to fixed those issues. But I am done hijacking hivewallet's thread. |

Different users different needs.  I want a app I can use to access lots of different coins some that have no value as of yet. Like Cubits an GPL I enter coin type (ASIC,Scrypt,Blake) Port number and network code Not exactly new user stuff not that hard to enter That is taking an insanely difficult path, especially for new alt-coins that are looking for adoption, that would even scare me off. Also considering that Hive pretty modular with their use of the bitcoinj library inside objective-c and it would only take one good java developer to make bitcoinj to work with altcoins. I have read the source code of both, not terrible difficult stuff, just middleware problems. For multiple wallets, I would just have on the menu bar a "wallet" menu, which is a drop down listing all the wallets that are available to that Hive instance, and probably a create new. I would also have a check mark next to the currently open wallet. I would also set a default wallet, that can always be opened on startup. |

Let me introduce myself. I am a person that has been using bitcoin since early 2011 as a hobbyist, I been using bitcoins seriously for the last year and a half. I eat, drink and sleep bitcoins, I tell every store and restaurant I visit how they should accept bitcoins and even give them tips. I am one of the biggest bitcoin bulls around here. I know the ins and outs of the protocol and follow the development very closely of many open source bitcoin projects. I also live in NY a hot bed of wall street, and tech startups.
My goal with this post is to help as many bitcoin entrepreneurs navigate the waters and hopefully pluck two or three of from those to make some angel investments.
I willing to help anyone that has some sort of prototype. I am not going to help if you have just an idea, I need to demo the project at least.
So what about the ones that don't get the capital, well they get me. I can intro you to some helpful people in the community. I can point you in the right direction for a lot of security and bitcoin questions. I am an trustworthy person that would be willing to put my rep to help more people trust you in a faster time.
If you have questions about this post or bitcoins in general reply I am here to help. I want to discover and mentor the next big thing in bitcoins!

That sort of usage is allowed. Trust ratings aren't moderated.
Call me insane, but it seems tysat is using it as more of a note taking place for sketchy activity then for trust, why not have a checkbox to make it as such. A checkbox that say it is a note and has no real bases on the trust activity cause until these people say or do something. Cause if tysat did that to me I would also be mad, look at my trust feedback it mostly trolls who I have called out and then when I go to make deals it hurts me sometimes. i have asked for a neutral setting for ages, i think it is only not being done cuz i was the one who thought of it. it is clearly needed. I am not much better so until like John K or Badbear ask for it, we might as spit into the wind. |

Here is a list of probable top 50 holders though I can't verify amounts, maybe other people can:
Gavin Andresen
Clearly gavin isn't in the top 50 since he requires a paycheck from the foundation. Cause if he was that rich and still got a paycheck, then is just a really greedy person. |
