Hello all,
I don't know what is fair compensation but if you know how to manage a windows VPS ( just recently got) and hook in my domain and website to it then lets talk!
PM me with any questions or what you think is fair compensation thanks!

*Putting my paranoid hat on*
What if this is all a big nothing, conspired by Matthew to steal all our coins? He gets BTC from advertisers, and from people pre-ordering the magazine. It's fairly easy to make good-looking headlines and cover pages if one knows their way around photoshop. It could be one very elaborate scam!
*Takes paranoid hat off*
BUT, I don't believe it is. Just something interesting to think about, especially given the history of various Bitcoin entrepreneurs.
Actually, you aren't far off in your thinking lol there is no reason to think otherwise that this is the "grand finale" for him!

I read about that the other day. I thought it was an 18th century toy?
Good question. "Cannon was a .50-caliber weapon designed to be fired with black powder" does it sound 18th Century?

Check out the company in my signature. It's the closest thing to the OP's question that I've found.

I always wondered the same thing. Basically, a sponsored spot. Good thinking!

I think its doable. Anyone who has extra BTC they want to sell they put in the "btc change pool" and when merchant qr codes it to send BTC as change to the customer its taken from the "btc change pool" and everyone in that pool gets a little bit cash for their trouble or something along those lines. Thoughts?

I do like the idea. In fact, I have a domain ready spend4bitcoins to do just that just have to figure out time for it.
Edit: to expand on your thinking your saying if someone has $5 left over you rather the merchan scan a qr code and send $5 worth of bitcoin to your account ? I can provide bitcoins I just have to figure out the other part.

Can you ridiculous autistics stop complaining about the ip address being wrong? That's the kind of shit that causes SA to create a 600 page thread about you.

Feeding people who are chronically impoverished treats the symptom not the cause. I wouldn't assume that is net good for those people or society at large.
Agreed. The cause is never going to go away that is a human trait but we can treat the symptom as you say, and it will help society as a whole.

If the headline circulated it would be a lie. Bitcoin can't solve these problems. It is only a tool. Only people can make these things change. Unfortunately the heart of man is evil above all things.
how do you figure it would be a lie ? Bitcoin can solve these issues or at least make a difference. If I'm paying fee's for ANYTHING I want it to go to something not to the corporations. (specially if the receiver just needs a payment address and a way to convert)I should add that most of the world can be fed on little bit of money if all fee's were to help millions who are hungry doesn't this make a case ?

Today, I was thinking about why bitcoin isn't talked about more and I came to the conclusion that we don't promote it as a good "cause" and we do not challenge big world problems.
Why don't we turn the "evil fee's of Mastercard, Visa and the plastic mafia cartel" against themselves for our own good and the worlds own good? Finally we get the attention of ordinary people who can't justify the incentive of switching from cash to bitcoin. How you ask? Turn all optional bitcoin fee's to point to a payment address to feed a poor family in Africa, or a charity of there choice or some cause they feel worthy.Credit card company's make billions off these fee's we can challenge the status quo and create a huge selling point for bitcoin to turn the ordinary person from a fiat spender to a bitcoin spender that is actually doing good.
I think our bitcoin dev. team has an obligation to do something to make this a reality in some form or fashion.
I mean my title grabbed your attention right? Just imagine if this a headline that was circulated around the world.
