some have been proposing "auditing". it seems to me that the term "mining" indeed has always been kind of unfortunate. It makes people suspicious ("what ?!?  free money with the graphics card ?!?? "), especially gold bugs ("that crap is not _real_ money !!!1!! and they say _mine_ it !!! like gold !!!1! ridiculous !!!1!"). something like "auditing" is much more neutral, and it's more intuitive to understand that users get rewarded for running hardware and software that is auditing transactions. |

Der richtige Durchbruch wird sein, wenn die Nachricht, dass eine Webseite oder Firma BTC annimmt, nicht mehr erwähnenswert ist.
Das wird dann so klingen als wenn jetzt folgende Nachricht käme: "Firma xxx nimmt jetzt US$/Kredikarten/Paypal an! Kunden haben jetzt ganz neue Möglichkeiten!"
hab ich quasi auch schon gepostet  hat aber anscheinend keiner verstanden  |

I think you mean growth of 10 times the current "transaction rate".
...which is a good economic indicator of Bitcoin adoption and use... we've grown from 5 to 50 while the volume only grown 3x (and then, mostly due to SatoshiDice).
...normalized without the speculative bubbles and panics of course.  |

I mean we only have the potential for growth of 10 times the current price then.

all this discussion of markets vs socialism is often based on false dichotomies.
A nation is an economic player just like any other. They have to household with their resources, and in this day and age, they also have to compete and be "profitable". Sure, they have special privileges due to historical reasons, but nevertheless, countries like Venezuela are less powerful than most international cartels.
Still they own their territory after all, and can decide what to do with it. They can decide whether to sell resources out to these international cartels, or whether to administer them themselves. Just like a business that has to choose where to expand its domain and where to withdraw.

Currently we can handle 10 times more transactions before the 1MB limit is a real problem.
Then we only have room for max 10 times the current price, right? |

i know someone who has an office in a nightclub/disco areal where energy costs are charged in total because there is just one meter reader for the whole areal. Depends on the rent deal of course in how far energy is priced in for this office, but if he was clever it shouldn't be much, however it's hard to judge because this facility is hard to compare with other places.

The fact is, commerce is not the only kind of transaction that happens between human beings. Just because you engage in non-commerce transactions doesn't mean you are a Marxist.
yup, you just mow the lawn for granny for free, without any recorded FAVs, besides your day job. |

'From each according to his ability, to each according to his need' works with the FAV but not with the HRS.
I'm just not sure if a Ripple-like system is best suited for this.
exactly, you don't need Ripple for Marxism. Either you don't need anything, no currency, no Ripple, if people share everything voluntarily, or, if less voluntary, you need a strong central planning software. |

Hello! Was recently re-introduced to bitcoin as a useful tool for an artist ecovillage i'm creating - Torus Artist Ecovillage - and i'm pleasantly surprised with its progress. nice... I've also long thought that largely self-sustaining eco villages + bitcoins for long distance transactions would be a great combination for a more independent life. don't be shy to introduce your project in a new dedicated thread. |

Hi Münchner, wir Franken (Nürnberg Fürth Erlangen usw.) haben jetzt auch mal ein Bitcoin Treffen am 13.3. vor. Ich weiß der Weg ist weit, würde mich aber trotzdem über Münchner freuen (ja ich bin meist Optimist) Unterbringung für eine Nacht würde sich wahrscheinlich auch regeln lassen und mit Bayernticket kostet das ganze wirklich nicht viel besonders nicht in Bitcoins  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149662.0* See you, Martin immer löblich, neue Treffen zu organisieren! Unter der Woche natürlich ungünstig für arbeitende (noch... HARR!) Auswärtige. Was überregionales an einem Wochenende wär vielleicht aber auch mal keine schlechte Idee. |

Gut dann ändere ich das mal in den Wiesengrund.
Wieder ~18:00
Ich hoffe da is auch Platz für 45 Leut Bei mir wird's 19:00 mindestens. Früher war doch auch immer 19:00 Uhr? |

Mit dem Anlegen in Edelmetalle etc würd ich noch warten bis nach dem Euro-Crash |

also questionable if S.DICE will grow as fast as Bitcoin Shares value might drop well under IPO value soon (but still outperform 99% of all fiat-denominated assets out there). |

I think there need to be some grammar fixes:
* Bitcoin has its own unit
* it is valued independently on the merits of its usefulness and scarcity.
http://garyes.stormloader.com/its.htmlPossessive = no apostrophe. it's = only used as a contraction of "it is". I know, that's why I posted the corrected version already.  |
