In the world of Bitcoin, the fastest way to get the electronic currency is still face to face. But such meetings can bring serious risks of their own. My own experience went very well, and I was able to learn about some potential red flags when doing in-person Bitcoin transactions.

When I went out to buy Bitcoin in person, I asked my husband to come along for safety. A savvy source urged me to bring pepper spray, too. Others encouraged me not to go at all.

I would not be able to stand putting my entire life into the hands of bitcoin, I'd be a nervous wreck all the time. What are you totally bitcoin dependent guys going to do if we crash hard? Seems plausible still, though unlikely.

But as bitcoin becomes more and more mainstream it only makes sense that more people "only" work bitcoin. I'd say that's a good thing in the long run  Cheesy

It is highly unlikely it will ever go straight down to just $0 or even $less than $50 unless a huge bug was found, which would have probably by now already. But just like any investment you diversify, I own a lot different pretty safe investments. Bitcoin is the most risky of those. If bitcoin crashed I wouldn't be screwed but my future would be rocky for sure.
1785  Economy / Service Discussion / Can someone explain the difference between Gyft and eGifter on the iphone? on: October 22, 2013, 06:13:46 AM
Didn't Gyft have the same service as eGifter where you buy gift cards with bitcoins?
And didn't they have to shut it down on the iphone cause apple forced them?
What is eGifter doing differently that would allow them to do this on the iphone?
Is it cause they are redirecting to bitpay's website within the application?

I am a full time bitcoiner. I have a decent number of them, but I am trying to save them more and more. I actually made a paper wallet for retirement and put as many as I can. I am 23 so I have a while. I am trying to get into bitcoin startups around me, but there are hardly any hiring (NYC). As I am also building new websites, doing business deals. Living off bitcoins is so hard I hate it, I have to plan every moment and dollar I spend. Cause I didn't want to get screwed by exchange rates and rather borrow money from friends than have fiat dollars left over.

Could you tell me what is your main bitcoin business? Or you have a lot of multiple bitcoin business at the same time?

I am currently working on a business now, before this I did freelancing web site making when bitcoin was like $5, now bitcoins are like $170 so because of that raise I was able to just come out of school and do nothing. I also had 2 business that were very niche start accepting bitcoin really early on and I was offered for both of them a good amount of bitcoins so I did sell them.

Gweedo, I think you're being rude.
Until you're willing to put up time and effort developing code, don't harsh on someone who does.

Wait so you agree Gavin should be rude to people that make him rich because they use bitcoins. Also since I working on startups and helping people get started in bitcoin I guess that isn't as good as people who write the reference client right? I work harder on bitcoin in a way to get more people involved instead of writing code, and just making myself rich. I am making the community richer.

Move on from the lost, you should have had a better password, and not used an exchange as a wallet.

so the index.html has to be compiled into the hive.app? Can it be loaded from an url?

yes they have to be compiled and made into a .hiveapp and put in this folder https://github.com/grabhive/hive-osx/tree/master/Hive/Applications then compiled. That is the only way I see currently.


Also if you want someone that has a current git master branch of hive working to test your applications, I be willing to do that for $10 in BTC for each test per application. I even have the debug enabled.

  • If you don't want to pay a developer, learn how to program for yourself. ALSO developers are typically not interested in profit sharing unless you're helping them pay the bills too.
  • You get what you pay for. Remember that the next time your "small project" would take 20+ hours and you want to pay $150 dollars. I'm sure you'll find someone who will help you eventually.
  • No one wants to build you an exchange. I've been contacted about 30 times to make exchanges for people over the last year. The most anyone has ever offered to pay is $1000 dollars. Personally I have never had any interest in doing an exchange but at $1,000 I wouldn't even touch it. That would barely cover the server costs for a year of a medium traffic exchange. Most people offer $200-500. It's just silly, *but of course there is profit sharing. ಠ_ಠ *
  • Launching a product online is 10% skill, 10% luck and 80% marketing. If you don't advertise your product... do not expect it to be successful. DO NOT EXPECT IT TO BE SUCCESSFUL!
  • When you pay someone pennies on the dollar... double checking work and security audits are the first things thrown out the window. Now it's just about function.
  • If you want an NDA, you can't be anonymous. I thought that would be self explanatory but you'd be amazed.
    *If you don't want to pay a developer, learn how to program for yourself. Period. *(See what I did there =P)

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1olur1/developer_rant_bitcoin_entrepreneurs_are_getting/

This is brilliant and so very very very true! Just adding some of the ones I noticed being a freelancer...

I also want to add, don't be rude and unprofessional. I have worked with some people here are the nicest people ever, and those are the people I go out of my way to make sure the product works 110% and I do anything to make sure those people are coming back to me.

Just remember cause you give a developer a deposit, doesn't mean you own him.

Developers remember if you are doing freelancing with just contracts on pm or IRC remember to get a good lawyer team. Even then they can't help you, if the person outside the arm of the law which is the worst. I actually limited my services to the united states due to problems with international people.

If you are hiring a developer and you can't communicate unhappiness in a professional manner then you shouldn't be hiring anyone, do it yourself.
1791  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Idea / Discussion: Address Maintenance Fees (reduce size of blockchain) on: October 17, 2013, 07:23:55 AM
I have an idea that can reduce the blockchain size by having address maintenance fees. Each address would have a maintenance fee deducted from it every block.

The maintenance fee could be 25 satoshis per block. This means 3,600 satoshis per day. If you have 0.01 BTC (1 million satoshis) it will last 277 days, so it is not a worry.

These satoshis could be used to pay a block subsidy so in the future when the reward is set to get lower and lower, there is still an incentive for miners to mine.

There is already an incentive for miners to mine, more transactions which have fees in the future will replace the block reward. Please read the white papers before commenting on the bitcoin protocol.

Also this is a horrible idea first it wouldn't reduce the size of the blockchain, it would in fact make it bigger since you have to update the balances. Also once "transaction spam" (which is not the correct wording) is in the blockchain that is the problem.

This is also penalizes people for doing paper wallets, which is a very secure way of handling saving coins, so why would you want to penalize them for doing something right?

However, having a wop deli within 15 miles is absolutely essential

You are going to fit in fine in NYC LMAO But it is going to be hard to find a house for <$100K and 2 baths, 2beds within an hour of the city. My parents live over an 1hr and 15mins from the city and property tax is insane, and the price of houses are insane. I live in an apartment in Hoboken, NJ and in a decent apartment. Hoboken is also very italian neighbors.

Check out Queens not a bad area, and some cheap housing very close to the city.

Good Luck!
1793  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to clean up Devtome on: October 12, 2013, 05:25:24 AM
This plugin is called Reddit.

Sadly when I helped start devtome a while ago, I saw the vision. Today I really just don't think they have enough mods, which is the hardest part for any crowd source, free to publish system. I think they should take on a bitcoin wiki approach, charge to gain access to the wiki, but that would hurt the devcoin model.

1800  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hi! I'm a graduate student studying the bitcoin community. on: October 10, 2013, 08:36:58 AM
Let me give a real answer to one your questions. What drew me to bitcoins in the beginning was how easy it was to start accepting payments on a web site. With credit cards it is very difficult to accept them, and if you use a framework you are at the mercy of them. Bitcoins gets rid of that, I can freely and very easy programmatically send and get bitcoins. Also another headache is saving all that credit card information, if you get hacked you just let your whole community be exploited. Bitcoins I can save an address in a database link it to an account and that hacker can't do anything with that information, as long as my private keys are safe in cold storage. Credits cards require a bank account and bitcoins don't, this allows younger developers to get paid for their work. I had a great idea at 14 or 15 that I didn't build out cause I couldn't get all the accounts that would be required for me to accept payments, due to my age. These are very small yet things that impact greatly on a community.
