Bitcoin got a brief mention on Australia's national youth radio station TripleJ during the Hack half hour this afternoon.  They were talking about Wikileaks payment blockade and alternative means of donating.

you can listen to it or download the mp3 of it here: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack/stories/s3347881.htm

if you just want to hear the 'bitcoin' sound bite, skip to about 2:40.
2083  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How much can one make with a server farm? on: October 25, 2011, 05:45:46 AM
hey tin thanks for the reply
 
let me rephrase my Q

What if you had the perfect setup for mining and many of them like server farms are there possibilities of mining like 100s of coins a day or 1000s?

7200 are produced per day.

to earn "1000's per day" would imply your server farm was a large proportion of the entire bitcoin network's processing power.

eg. capable of checking 2+ terahashes / sec

Once the average user has bitcoins, they are usually much easier to use than any other type of online payment.

+1

so convenient.

but unfortunately people are often confusing the difficulty in purchasing bitcoins with their subsequent ease-of-use.

they are two completely separate issues.
2086  Economy / Speculation / Re: BIDWALL MELTS!!! on: October 25, 2011, 02:02:21 AM
You are dealing with something that has no useful value other than speculators and miners trying to get money out of it.


No useful value.... I disagree strongly. In fact, I can think of very few things which are more useful than Bitcoin.

How is bitcoin any more useful than I0Coin? It isn't. Except I0Coin is worth $0 and bitcoin isn't just yet.

it's more useful because it's accepted at more places and by more people than i0coin.

Next time you should mention that it's AUD and not USD. Thanks anyway I guess...

haha yeah, next time i should include 'AUD' right on the redemption code Cheesy
2089  Other / Beginners & Help / free money on: October 24, 2011, 03:16:29 PM
it's practically zero, but if anyone wants to they can redeem this:

If you are right, there are 13 innocent men probably in fear of their lives as they have had their names published linked to child abuse.  That's a scary thought.

Everyone signing up at the next federal honey pot should use the name of their congressman.

did anyone else notice one of the usernames was xkcd? Cheesy
2091  Economy / Marketplace / Re: PAYB.TC - The Free Bitcoin Address Shortener on: October 24, 2011, 04:22:54 AM
today i thought of a new way to visualize bitcoin addresses... using a range of colours which are derived from each address.

check them out:

http://payb.tc/donate/rainbow =

http://payb.tc/tronlet/rainbow =

http://payb.tc/joelkatz/rainbow =

http://payb.tc/ashmoran/rainbow =


code here:

Code:
$addr=substr(preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/','',$_GET['addr']),0,34);

$colors=str_split('00'.addressToHash160($addr),2);

//html version:
//for ($i=0; $i<7; $i++) echo '<div style="float:left; width:50px; height:50px; background-color:#'.$colors[$i*3+0].$colors[$i*3+1].$colors[$i*3+2].'"></div>';

//png version:
$img = imagecreatetruecolor(350,50);

for ($i=0; $i<7; $i++) {
$color = imagecolorallocate($img,hexdec($colors[$i*3+0]),hexdec($colors[$i*3+1]),hexdec($colors[$i*3+2]));
imagefilledrectangle ($img,$i*50,0,$i*50+49,49,$color);
}

header('Content-Type: image/png');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename='.$addr.'.png');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Pragma: public');
header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers    
ob_clean();
flush();
imagepng($img);
imagedestroy($img);

addressToHash160 function (by theymos, i believe) can be found here: http://pastebin.com/vmRQC7ha


have fun Cheesy

cheers, very well explained.

i was doing some experimentation on payb.tc and turns out i didn't need to know after all... but interesting none-the-less!

edit: here's what i added to the site (just for fun mostly)... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=27285.msg590514#msg590514
2093  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / address length 32 vs 33 on: October 24, 2011, 02:11:56 AM
could someone please explain why some addresses are 33 chars in length? i'm having trouble finding the info right now.

thank you.
2094  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: At what pricepoint is bitcoin dead? on: October 24, 2011, 01:55:33 AM
If you dont want something connected to you then your either paranoid or its illegal, really no worries connecting yourself to 99 percent of businesses out there to buy anything online.

you can call it paranoia if you like.

i call it not handing out personal information unnecessarily, if there's an alternative.
2095  Economy / Speculation / Re: How many people like me planned a wallet of bitcoin will never be sold? on: October 23, 2011, 12:27:00 PM
whatever happens. and how many is it?

I have some of my bitcion for spending, and some of my bitcoin for short-term trading, and some of it will be sold if the price climb up so high. However,  some of the bitcoin I have will like to be hold forever, no matter what happens: the price rocket or the price is so low that the difficult is low enough for a double-spend attack . do you have such plan?

Let's sum the number of such saving plan. if you reply, just add the number of yours to the previous one.

my number:

100

what's the point of never selling them? am i to assume that means you would also never trade them for goods or services?

Anonymous has done more work public releasing of information than our police force has ever done regarding this case.

i mean really, how would anyone know how much work the police force has done regarding this case? since unlike Anonymous, they don't go around putting stuff on pastebin.

2097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: John C Dvorak poo poos bitcoin on: October 23, 2011, 10:36:15 AM
John C. Dvorak is notoriously bad at making tech predictions. 

He was wrong about the keyboard and he's wrong about this!

what is wrong about the dvorak keyboard? we only use qwerty because (global) change is difficult, not because it's a better system.

bitcoin might fail for the same reasons as dvorak keyboard failed... because existing, inferior systems are too entrenched.
2098  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A new Bitcoin alternative. Possible without much effort ? on: October 23, 2011, 10:12:51 AM
You can fork the client without doing an alternative chain if the changes aren't significant. Just add your improvements to the GUI or whatever. Some of them might be integrated in the official client if the developers like them.

Creating a bitcoin-like currency exclusively for one country is dangerous because it is much easier for other people to take it down with a 51% attack.

also i don't see how you could stop people from outside of that country using it anyway. it might naturally become global.

where is 'here'?


Australia.

In "here" you really can't do much Sad , that's why I am extremely supportive of oz.in, certainly isn't easy, just the cost of doing biz will be a killer.

do you mean https://ozco.in ?
