Surprised to see some Awesome users. I just started using it this week on my netbook and I'm loving it.
By the way, for those who don't know it yet, the awesome developpers accept bitcoin donations. Their address is on their community page: http://awesome.naquadah.org/community/It's not on the main awesome page, though  |

I must say I didn't quite liked this episode #3. The new character is weird and I disliked the "emotionnal" input they tried to give to the serie.
I'll wait for next episode to see if it's get better, before I make an other donation.

When I use X I use awesome too, but in the "full screen" mode, which means that I rarely see my bacground screen. So my desktop is very boring and I will spare it to you. PS. Bah... here it is, anyway:  |

I own Britcoin and our source code is open. If you contact me then I can get you setup for a small fee as I'm doing with CCCMikey. The more people we have using this same software, the easier I can turn it into a safe, secure, easy to install piece of kit for setting up a Bitcoin exchange. Then we'll have lots of exchanges. This seem interesting. I'll give this a try. By myself first, and if I can't manage I'll contact you. |

You can always download the source package, compare the source with the original distributed source, all it takes is a simple diff, and then build your own package out of it.
Last time I tried, I had compilation errors. I've just tried again, I get: $ uname -a

...Plutonium, Uranium...  Some people might find these commodities unacceptable as stores of value as they have built-in inflation imposed by nature due to their half-life.  I personnally prefer not to store any radioactive element. There is an article here where a chemist explains why gold beats other elements as a form of money. |

For physical money there is nothing but gold.
Silver, copper? Try to put a significative amount of wealth with copper or even silver in your pocket. |

The more currency exchanges, the better.

An idea concerning the next, more technical video:
it should really take some time to explain both public key cryptography and the concept of cryptographic hash-based proof-of-work.
|
|

I confess I am a bit reluctant to use it, though.
After all what exactly prevents it to have a trojan inside?
I guess I'll wait until there are a lot of people who havve tested it and audited the code.

People deal in the physical, we want to touch, feel, and see objects of worth. However, we also like the private. We like to conduct transactions in private.
So, I see the BitCoin as becoming a transitory monetary system into and out of the physical. We will buy bitcoins to make a transaction, use them, and then get out of the market.
For physical money there is nothing but gold. |

I understand genjix being kind of angry about that.
This is a no brainer: the bounty should be paid for this excellent video and it would put a shame on the bitcoin community if it wasn't. No need to wait until april 5th.

Yay, of course.
Sure, the video is not perfect, but it's pretty damn good and come on : if these guys don't deserve the bounty, who will???

Yes maybe I should mention that I too have some minor displaying problems with the new site. I'm using the Arora web browser under Debian GNU/linux. Here is a screenshot:  |

The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust thats required to make it
work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of
fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust. Banks must be trusted to hold our
money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles
with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them
not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make
micropayments impossible.
A generation ago, multi-user time-sharing computer systems had a similar problem.
Before strong encryption, users had to rely on password protection to secure their
files, placing trust in the system administrator to keep their information private.
Privacy could always be overridden by the admin based on his judgment call weighing the
principle of privacy against other concerns, or at the behest of his superiors. Then
strong encryption became available to the masses, and trust was no longer required.
Data could be secured in a way that was physically impossible for others to access, no
matter for what reason, no matter how good the excuse, no matter what.
Its time we had the same thing for money. With e-currency based on cryptographic
proof, without the need to trust a third party middleman, money can be secure and
transactions effortless.
I am amazed how Satoshi managed to sum up his idea so well in only three paragraphs. |

Smart people would have more money and success than normal people???
That would be unfair!

Making a "good" wikipedia article is far from easy.
I doubt the bitcoin article will be rated "good" any time soon.

Ponzi schemes are fun, providing nobody is lying to you about what it is.
It's not worse than lottery or gambling, anyway.

il faudrait peut-être ajouter le lien au wiki, sur la partie "associations acceptant les bitcoins comme donations".
