please fix the chat scroll back. When I scroll up, it should not jump down for new messages. With 27 people in the channel this is important I guess.

I think one of the most interesting things the speaker said is the following: Make no mistake, that if bitcoins were to catch on, it would be profoundly disruptive. If there were always a large liquidity source, so that corporations could in fact get involved in this, it would be enormously disruptive.
(This was in response to a question starting at 45m5s.) I think he uses "corporations" here to mean the same thing as "large institutional investors". Here's a strange idea: It seems that bitcoin can actually solve some of the problems that motivate the massive amount of international currency exchange and the need for these large institutions to hedge. I wonder if bitcoin could solve problems for currencies in a way that is analogous to the way that currencies solve problems for the barter system. In other words, "bitcoin is to currency as currency is to barter." Maybe we shouldn't be calling bitcoin a currency, but a " currency's currency" (or currency squared). If that's true, bitcoin could be more than a potential "equal" among major currencies; it could be a serious threat to the fundamental viability of those currencies. What you are trying to say is that bitcoin could be to currency what gold used to be? Not so new the idea.

WTF? Ah!! I want to know the reasoning!?!? If he wanted to return the money he could give it to any public address of Gavin or any other honorable member here. The stunt doesn't look like good intention to me. OTOH for mixing he could have done other things. I'm curious for your analysis and guess he is, too.

not. Can't narrow it down to the forum, can I? But more on topic: I could imagine kids trading their bitcoins like they traded stickers. Especially in countries where they all have smart phones. I love the idea Anything you can do in a google search, you can do in a google alert... so add "site:bitcointalk.org" and you should be good to go. ah. me stupid.

guys what's up with you? global conspiracy to ignore any irony in my posts today? in the other thread i put myself in a cook's position who wants to use the service for his cooking lessons and get called an egoist for only thinking of my cooking show and here I try to ridicule Litecoin by suggesting CosbyCoin and get taken serious again. Maybe I should try <irony>-tags when I want to be taken serious next time. yeah … guess that would work.

You should add Litecoin as a payment method! It really needs something to get its worth up other then simple BTC/LTC trade. Or you could at least have an auto-conversion based on market sales.
Yeah! And please add CosbyCoin, too.

This guy need to do more research and digging. Also this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=81581.0Does that sound like a person who wants to sell his company? Zhou was not only the Bitcoin president and inventor, but also its sole employee. It sounds wrong. Satoshi is the inventor and there is no bitcoin company. Maybe he means a bitcoin related president and entrepreneur. thanx for the quote. saves me from clicking the link and reading the article

Dude honestly your looking for so many features that are only beneficial to you.</snip>
why you hate cooks? And tutors? They couldn't have students stumbling on all the porn either... Cause people like this have completely missed the vision of the site! You are trying to get features for a site that would only help you and not the community! I am on the site everyday and I have yet to see either of you actually put on a show, so I think once you put on a show and see it then you can make comments. gweedo it was just so funny that you took me for a cook I'm a programmer and know how little extra effort it is to have 2 listings rather than one and as WW seams not to be passionate about the girls but rather about his idea in general, he should leave it to the community to use it to its capacity. NSFW links covering half the screen is just repelling 90% of potential hosts. Lastly let me add that I am testing the site every day since I post here. Maybe I would use my real name or the nick familiar to you in a SFW section. Thanx for putting the secret cook in me outside the community.

my point of pay to stay in general was that some streamers might want to only have watchers with bitcoins. they might want to set a price of 1 satoshi just to know the effort is worth it aka. the spectators are not some jerks in some internet cafe without bitcoins. i guess i would feel pretty stupid giving a lesson on anything finding out only later that they all would pay me in paypal ... but what was that bitcoin-thing? pay to stay is not pay to enter, so the first x minutes could be free to not be vulnerable to loop-scammers. with these 2 points i see a pay to stay as a valuable optional addition to the system that is not dumb and should be implemented WW: what wording would you suggest? broadcaster/watcher as on the button? streamer/consumer? source/sink? sender/receiver? performer/audience? teacher/student? host/guest? actor/spectator? Some of these options are definitely better than others but I guess strongly supporting some wording can influence the direction the atmosphere on your site will be. You said it again and again that the channels can be linked directly but for my baking-classes I need yet another feature. You know even with the direct link to the channel those old ladies happen to click at other channels all the time which is really a little embarrassing. Could you allow me to hide those other channels as a configuration of my baking channel? Or at least allow me to open my channel on some sfw.cam4btc.com or send those ... others ... to nsfw.cam4btc.com?

Pay to stay sounds like easy to implement. At least assuming the author wants to get a way of telling who tipped how much. If this is implemented I see no problem in setting up a pay to stay/proof you have bitcoins option. It would become normal that if you want to see one performer more than one minute in one day you would have to pay something to the address given or if he defined a min price, that price. This would definitely keep stupid spammers at distance, at least most of them.

Das sind 500M$ die in FPGAs und Strom gehen. Das ist krank. Langfristig muss aber eine Alternative gefunden werden.
Die Reward geht ja zurück. Ausserdem: Was glaubst Du, wieviel Energie die Finanzservice Firmen verbrauchen, die durch Bitcoin obsolet gemacht werden? Ich denke die CO2 Bilanz von Bitcoin ist negativ. -Anu Ja, und für eine Überweisung DE-CL zahl ich min. 20€, da ist es doch ok, wenn das in BTC nur 20ct. kostet? Wenn es keine Blockbelohnung gäbe, wäre ich für proof of stake, weil es keinen Grund mehr gäbe, dass derart viel Rechenleistung in die Netzwerksicherung gesteckt wird. Ganz ohne Gebühren bestünde dann zwar immer noch die Gefahr, dass zu wenige ihre Steaks beweisen und ein Angriff wieder einfacher würde, aber damit wären halt wieder alle eingeladen, den Generate-Coins-Haken im Client zu setzen und das Netzwerk wäre im nu wieder sicher. Ich mine(te) selber, aber Investitionsschutz sollte kein Argument sein, eine unterlegene Technik am Leben zu erhalten. Insbesondere nicht, wenn sich Bitcoin weiterhin beta nennt.

hmm ... wenn Bitcoin in den nächsten vier Jahren Mainstream wird, steigt der Preis pro BTC auf mehrere 1000$. Eine Subvention des Minings von sagen wir mal 10.000$ oder von 500M$ pro Jahr. Das sind 500M$ die in FPGAs und Strom gehen. Das ist krank. Langfristig muss aber eine Alternative gefunden werden. Wenn wir keine Alternative finden und der Trend zu immer mehr Spezialisierung der Miner weiter geht, werden die Miner ihre Einkünfte sichern und die wegfallenden Subventionen werden durch Transaktionsgebühren kompensiert werden. Dann zahlen wir alle die Zeche.

don't worry.
one day, with a lot of hard work and visits to coinad.com, you will have > 3 bitcoin.

And now he has the honour of being the first banned user on cam4btc.com I got home 11 pm from work and just wrote the code to ban him. Please report other wrongdoers from now on and I'll see if they should be banned. (I really hoped this wasn't necessary but I don't like scammers at all ) slippery slope warning good luck with the banning. It will only get worse though.

A man's praise in his own mouth stinks. Yes, it was interesting to know how he does it. He streamed snippets of video of a barely moving sleepy girl and had some snippets available to switch to (smile, nod, ...) at a click. He has trouble with sound as that would be harder to loop and he's a he so dubbing his own videos would not be easy. Taken it's a lot of preparation and requires the guy sitting by makes me believe him when he says it's just for fun. Only thing that annoys me about this is that I tipped him (I tipped all girls to get their interest although my video is totally broken and I was more fascinated by the site than the girl but I want to see this project take off) It's not hard to do. I used to do that shit on ChatRoulette a while back... Here's how: http://www.ehow.com/how_12209816_loop-video-chatroulette.htmlnah he had material explicitly prepared for that. not just a loop. very static blurry girl and when somebody wanted her to tip her nose or wave he played the respective video seamlessly. 15 vids in total.

[...] Das muss der Bitcoin ab können. Interessant ist, dass SatoshiDice bisher drauf gezahlt hat. [...]
ist ja interessant... link? [/quote] Müsst ich selber suchen. war gar nicht mal so wenig. 80BTC oder so. Und paar haben ihre coins nicht ausbezahlt bekommen. Ich hab's mir nicht näher angeschaut, aber ich denke, da ist irgendwo der Zufall nicht ganz zufällig. Bei der Anzahl an Spielen die da gespielt wurden, sollte eigentlich ziemlich exakt der Erwartungswert getroffen werden.

please don't! add a block user function for the performer before you have some scam-alert in place. Fortunately many users bother to warn others about loops but if they can be banned for that, there is a problem. Sure banning will be needed, too at some point.
Maybe in the meantime write something like "smiling to the camera is no verification. Expect performers to interact with you like greet you. Remember that greeting you in the chat is the easiest thing to script"
