QR crop circles? Well, crop squares.
yeah with a link back to whatever alien lifeform put it there.

i was just thinking about 'big' QR codes the other day and thinking that one day someone will do one big enough for astronauts to scan it.
or what if a landscape supplies company built a huge 'QR' garden that linked to their website and could be viewed by small planes and helicopters (and eventually people using google maps). might be a cool marketing ploy.

it's still low volume and you sometimes have to wait a long time for a good rate, but i've found www.worldbitcoinexchange.com to be the simplest for AUD transfers.

Like you said, if the business succeeds then basically the person you're renting from has you by the balls.
so, just like a mcdonalds franchise then.

i wonder if i'm the only one that keeps reading 'POS' as 'piece of shit'.
Point Of Sale. yes, thank you. still doesn't help the subconscious verbalizing it differently every time i see it

QRcodes are a temporary hack. They aren't terrible but NFC works much better.
i agree with that if you're talking phone<->phone but in some other thread we were talking about having a QR printed on your paper bill which is brought to the table. you can't use NFC with a piece of paper, yet.

dammit... "terrorists! Bitcoin will lead to funding for terrorists!"
But when Donald Norman, co-founder of fellow digital currency provider Bitcoin was questioned... who is he and when did he become friends with Satoshi?

I'm a Bitcoin fetishist, and even I wouldn't bother to use Bitcoin at a physical POS like this. What's the advantage over using a legacy currency? to cater to those customers who happen to only have btc on them, and no $ ...it could happen... maybe later.

Even as a controlled demonstration, it took about 1 minute to handle the payment. There is room for improvement me thinks.
yeah one area would be an automated link between the merchant's existing price system, so that they don't have to manually type all that info in just to create the bill.

if your goal is simply a anonymous medium of exchange, the electricity cost of producing bitcoins would simply be a way of laundering money through the power company.
is that like, reverse laundering? i thought the point of laundering was to get money out of the black market, not into it. what you describe sounds like a way for the power company to launder dirty money. must be time for me to pull out the 'office space' dvd.

Purchasing a car or something for several thousand dollars might require them staying an extra 10 minutes to verify the transaction. This is a good point. The time taken to verify should depend on the value of the item. With an expensive car I would certainly wait the whole 6 confirmations if I were a merchant, but if someone ordered a pizza or wanted a haircut, I wouldn't require any confirmations. Tell me if I have the wrong end of the stick. From what I have read this is where the transaction fees will come into play, and it is what will keep people 'mining' after all the coins are gone? For a high value purchase such as a car, a very small % commission would translate to a reasonably large absolute commission (in terms of miner commissions) and so this should ensure the transaction is verified fairly quickly. If it doesn't work like that then it should! Viva la capitalism and all that. Those that can pay, get stuff (e.g. quicker transactions!) no, the transaction fee only has a slight correlation to the transaction amount. it has more to do with how many inputs a transaction has, and hence how big it is in terms of storage space. (eg. if you have one address with 1000 btc and you spend 1000 btc, then the tx fee should be low, but if you have 1000 addresses each with 1 btc, and you spend 1000 btc, then the tx fee would be much higher because it has to bundle a lot more data together for broadcast to the network)

hooray... looking forward to a much better AUD/USD rate.
hope it gets back to 70-80 cents where it belongs.
