200 million french speaking people are waiting eagerly to be able to participate to bitcoin.it wiki without paying 10 times the amount of anti-spam tax english speaking people are required to pay.

Could someone relay this request to interested parties?

That would be:

Genjix
Kiba
MagicalTux
Nanotube
Sgornick

These nice people are either totally inaccessible or too busy to reply to my tweets. :-)

And, believe it or not, quite a few of those 200 million french speaking people know how to set up and administer a mediawiki, and something tells me they're not going to beg the aforementioned very long before starting something of their own.

Merci.

Salutations distinguées.

Guess what? You are repeating yourself and it's rather boring: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155482.msg1648623#msg1648623

I already maintain 3 mediawikis. One of them has 250.000 hits and a dozen contributors even though it's about a small local collective.

Let's try to unite our forces instead of dividing them, don't you think clever boy? :-)

And no, it's not about money. I can afford to pay. But I don't want to. I don't want to contribute to a project if 90% of human beings are left stranded at the gate. That looks too much like the current financial and banking system.

If anybody is stupid enough to send me 0.01 BTC i'll donate it to Wikileaks or EFF or something in the way.

Cheers!

Anti-spam fee for french wiki is still 0.01 BTC. I repeat 0.01 BTC (10 mBTC).

The administrators, mostly wealthy english-speaking guys (even though Mark Karpeles @MagicalTux speaks french), haven't realized yet that they forgot to lower the fees for the french part of the wiki.

I just contacted Gregory Maxwell by email, who replied that the fee had been lowered to 0.001 BTC months ago. I told him about the french glitch but I am still waiting for a reply about this.

I sent tweets to @sgornick @MagicalTux @genjix a few hours, I didn't get any reply. Let's wait and see.

I cannot contact them by email because... you have to pay the fee to send emails through the wiki.

Building higher fortresses between the happy few and the rest of the world (80% the world population lives on less than 10$ a day, 10% on less than 1$ a day... 0.001 BTC isn't exactly  a small anti-spam tip for them) shouldn't be a goal of Bitcoin enthusiasts or promoters.

The result of all this?

French pages: 10
French trusted users: 7
French active users: 1

Well done guys! :-)

Bonjour!

Je viens de traduire en français l'acte de naissance de Bitcoin, Bitcoin open source implementation of P2P currency, l'article publié par Satoshi Nakamoto sur le forum de la P2P Foundation le 11 février 2009: Bitcoin, mise en œuvre open source d’une monnaie P2P (paire à paire).

J'espère que ça pourra être utile aux personnes qui souhaitent approfondir leur connaissance de Bitcoin mais qui ne sont pas à l'aise avec l'anglais.

N'hésitez pas à me faire part de vos remarques et critiques sur la traduction, qui pourrait certainement être améliorée.

A+
