Anyone under 18 with the foresight to see the monetary future should be encouraged and admired, not admonished. Kudos to anyone under 18 on these forums.

Still no coins.
Have you guys received any?
I've sent Robert_K a PM, if he doesn't answer the next 24 hours I'll start giving negative trust and also start a scam accusation thread.

You can just use privnote if you want, I'll put it into my account right away and then get your BTC addy.

I'll buy your code in a gesture of fostering good relationships across county lines! I am sure I will find a use for it eventually.

We should hook up for a coffee/beer sometime. I have seen your projects and would love to pick your brain!

Just noticed where you are located - I am on the Treasure Coast. You ever attend the meetups in our area?

Looking to trade with a reputable member with multiple trades and or in default trust due to the fact that i'll be sending the code first.

All my children have bitcoins and use them.  All their bitcoins they have earned with their business or trading (no allowances and free handouts in our family).

The two teenagers use exchanges (mcxnow is a favorite right now), trade stocks, mine, buy things for themselves, have sold for cash a few times P2P, and given out loans (small amounts in all these categories).

The bulk of all their savings and transactions are done with btc.  About the only thing they use cash for is when I need to borrow some from them (and they charge me interest payable in btc if I don't pay them back quickly).

They also know our their CPA and have met with him in his office on occasion.  We aren't rich or anything, just that they need to learn this stuff if they want to be independent, functioning slaves members of society.

There is a lot of parental involvement, but they are pretty much on their own.  Like when I get home from work one of the first things I sometimes ask is "how was your trading today?" or once a month I might ask "are those miners still running?"

My favorite thing about bitcoin is that it has pricked their interests in tech stuff and now when I have an IT question I can just ask them instead of calling someone.

"You’re right. In fact, I helped the developers with the design of the protocol version 2 and I did a preliminary audit of the protocol. The fact that I haven’t post about it yet is because I have almost no time. My apologize."

Anyway, Bitmessage is flawed, do not use it cause its as good a plaintext email if not worse.

I'll check out gribble to and I will also check out bitmessage as I have heard good things of it.

How well does http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmessage work to encrypt data? I don't think it uses PGP but I might be mistaken? Bit Message is pretty easy to use from what I have done with it.

Dude, is what I said. Is this parallel universe?

Ok thanks for that I'll check all the tutorials and resources I find and see if I can understand the software better whilst using it.

Currently windows but willing to install linux if it's got some useful software which you could recommend.

Thanks for that I'm a newbie when it comes to things like this any other useful software that I should check out?

Web of Trust the browser add on?

How not? Kids with gaming PCs + parents paying for electricity + 2012 = 10 BTC

McXNOW does not require ID for trading.

There are some smart under 18s out there.

Maybe, parents verify on an exchange and they operate the account.  I would use my ID etc to help my kids if they were interested.

Nothing wrong with kids being interested in finance.
