I would like that distributed online storage would be implemented as an option to store the phucking blockchain that is already eating 3 GB per each client that I use, and take hours to update if I don't do it for some weeks.

That sounds almost competitive with BFLs single, price/performance speaking.
Nice.

Euro fears boost virtual currency Bitcoin
http://business.financialpost.com/2012/06/08/euro-fears-boost-virtual-currency-bitcoin/

Another one is asset protection. I see BTC as much safer than (n)euros, and maybe US$ too in the medium term. And no state goon can extort you BTCs.

"What seems peculiar about Argentina’s case is the government’s Herculean effort to ignore the immutable laws of economics in their pursuit of grand larceny. The country has seen five currencies in just the past century, averaging a collapse every twenty years or so. In 1970, the peso ley replaced the peso moneda nacional at a rate of 100 to 1. The peso ley was in turn replaced by the peso Argentino in 1983 at a rate of 10,000 to 1. That lasted a couple of years, and was then replaced by the Austral, again at a rate of 1,000 to 1. To nobody’s surprise, the Austral was itself replaced by the peso convertible at a rate of 10,000 to 1 in 1992. During the past four decades, when all was said and done, after the various changes of currency and slicing of zeroes, one peso convertible was equivalent to 10,000,000,000,000 (1013) pesos moneda nacional."

I just received this amount:
0.0   YABMC   2012-06-08 08:08:59

I own 59 YABMC bonds and I used to receive around 0.12 BTC per payment.
Anything wrong?

[edit]: it was just a glitch probably. I had received this other payment 6 minutes before:
0.11201858   YABMC   2012-06-08 08:02:20

Want to become an internet billionaire? Move to Africa
By David Rowan 04 November 11

...Seriously. The internet is only now arriving, and -- with a billion people on the continent still mostly offline -- there exists a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build the next Zyngas, eBays and Groupons for a huge untapped local market.
...
A few obvious markets primed for explosive growth:

Mobile money
Who needs banks if you can use your mobile to send and receive cash? More than a quarter of Kenya's GDP now passes through a phone-to-phone network called M-Pesa, and in Uganda MTN MobileMoney has almost two million users. As Cameron put it in a speech to Lagos Business School, "Today, mobile banking systems mean we can cut out middlemen and make a direct impact on the lives of small farmers who can produce more food, feed their families, sell more food at the market and in turn buy more seed."

E-commerce
You don't need a smartphone, let alone a PC, to shop online. The American startup SlimTrader runs a service called MoBiashara, which lets African consumers shop by mobile on basic cellphones. And there are half a billion of those in Africa.

I filo-austriaci non e' che facciano previsioni + ottimistiche cmq. Anzi.
Basti vedere su ZeroHedge.
Nel dubbio, forse e' meglio imitare i cinesi: nel 2011 hanno aumentato le importazioni di oro di oltre il 40% e una nuova agenzia di cambio di Bitcoin aperta in Cina pochi giorni fa ha gia' un movimento che la rende seconda solo a Mtgox e ha plausibilmente comportato la salita di prezzo dei BTC negli ultimi giorni.

I find this ambiguous. Are there some middlemen (Market Makers) who are going to do the selling on GLBSE? What would be their cut? What amount of additional risk this introduce?

[Self-fulfilling prophecies] Argentine President Fernandez: "Money in Itself" Is Worthless
May 24, 2012 • 7:47AM
During a bilateral meeting May 18 with Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner made incisive remarks about the insanity of the current, collapsing global financial system, which is based on the idea that money is worth something.

I will buy them back at .1, just like what I sold them at.

Thank you.

My 271 bonds are now on sale at 0.100 on GLBSE

I do not find serious that you change the contract of a bond after you started to sell it, like I do not find serious that you unilaterally lower more and more your bond interest rate. Currently I am not finding greater suckers available to buy my Tygrr-Bank bonds on sale at 0.1039. 

I am sorry to say that I lost my trust in Goat, since he changed his OP a number of times, offering different rates with or without insurance, and at one point even offering a Pre-IPO at 0.99, then vanishing after promising in a PM to follow up on a request of mine.
Moreover, lowering more and more his TYGRR-Bank bond interest rate is not nice.
I am now liquidating anything Goat in my portfolio at fire-sale prices. If you disagree with me put your money where your mouth is and buy.

He would use the euro to buy more BTC to sell (and/or keep his stash secured or move it abroad like his clients), and so on and on. Just the how is debatable: even for him would be better to stay at large from banks as much as possible.
