Hehe, I'm no animator, but thanks anyway.

You could work on a script.

just one hour guys
2743  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Looking for jobs on: February 05, 2011, 02:35:27 AM
Maybe you don't know yet but there is a huge bounty (about 10,000 BTC I think) for a good introduction animation about bitcoin.
2744  Economy / Economics / Re: When to "move the decimal points" ? on: February 05, 2011, 01:55:27 AM
Well, this is a valid point.
Still, i think my way is more intuitive.


I don't think they have to be mutally exclusive anyway.  I mean, I have enough room im my brain to remember several notation systems, as long as they are not too complex.

In my opinion, yours is not very usefull, since it doesn't even give any prononciation rule. But at least it's simple.

Let's just let people pick the system they like.

Wow this sounds pretty cool.  Does that mean that we'll be able to implement our own tradebots?

Where is the doc?
2746  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the soundest fiat currency right now? on: February 05, 2011, 12:26:36 AM
Below commodities and Bitcoin, what currency is the soundest in its backing and future?

Jim Rogers advises to buy Japanese Yen, chinese RenMimbi (not sure about the spelling for this one) and Swiss Franc.


2747  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Auction for a gold coin on biddingpond on: February 05, 2011, 12:03:25 AM
Looking at the auction history, it seems that "ender_x" has some kind of automatic bidding.

So I think it's pointless to try to bid at the very last minute, unless you can guess what is ender_x's max bid.

I have doubts about the whole thing, but it does look like real handwriting...

+1

What about a short video of a girl mentionning bitcoin for her personnal service?



EDIT:  oops I +1ed this although it's actually the opposite that I thought.  This picture is obviously a fake, imo.
2750  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Auction for a gold coin on biddingpond: 12 h to go! on: February 04, 2011, 04:17:03 PM
if you like current 313,37 leet bid, i buy 2 coins and pay 15 % extra for buy now settlement

I guess this means you intend to bid.  Good.
2751  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin safe? on: February 04, 2011, 03:52:02 PM
The "No, never" option should really say "Not yet".

corrected.
2752  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin safe? on: February 04, 2011, 03:18:14 PM
I lost some when I reformatted and didn't have a backup. But back then they weren't worth much so I didn't care, now I'm kicking myself for doing so  Cry

Well, you didn't really "lost" them.  You destroyed them on purpose, because you didn't value them much.

It may be not to late to recover it, though.  Check out "recover lost data" on Google.

In some other thread a guy formated his disk just as you did, and yet he managed to recover his wallet.
2753  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Young women for bitcoins on: February 04, 2011, 03:11:48 PM
You believe other thread about drugs exchange, and not about girls ? Bitcoin is good for illegal stuff, no doubt about that is it ?

Well, on second thought, maybe the need for anonymous money in prostitution is higher than I thought.   Prostitution is legal in several countries, but proxenytism is still forbidden in France, for instance.

I guess that using bitcoin, it would be very difficult for police to prove that a sex intercourse is the result of an electronic financial negociation.

It depends on how bitcoin-aware organized crime is, I guess.  So far I think that mafia using bitcoin is still some rumor.  I doubt these guys are that technological-oriented.
2754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Is bitcoin safe? on: February 04, 2011, 03:04:15 PM
I voted "No"

2755  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Young women for bitcoins on: February 04, 2011, 02:48:02 PM
I do not believe that, sorry.

It is certainly way too early for bitcoin proxenytism.  Your post is nothing but a bad joke, imo.
2756  Economy / Marketplace / Auction for a gold coin on biddingpond: very last day!! on: February 04, 2011, 01:31:35 PM

Ready?... Steady?  ... GO!!

Wink

ok I know current bid is correct already, but I'm sure you can do better guys.

C'est clair que ce type de magasin a toute la logistique et l'expérience nécessaire.   Ce serait l'idéal.  Il y a aussi les buralistes.

Ce qu'il faudrait c'est imprimer des tracts d'information et les distribuer rue Vivienne.   Si quelqu'un peut construire une maquette je peux envisager d'investir un peu pour les imprimer.
2758  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bounty for Bitcoin Animated Movie [13622.05 BTC ($2520) and growing] on: February 04, 2011, 03:58:55 AM
The bounty's value had grown to 9,535.44 USD assuming that everyone follow through with their obligation.

And still no progress whatsoever??  Damn
2759  Economy / Economics / Re: When to "move the decimal points" ? on: February 04, 2011, 03:10:31 AM
Notation proposed by me is better simply because it is more intuitive by orders of magnitude than "mili", "micro", "nano" and such (which "normal", non-geeky people do not know).

Maybe you say that because you are american and most american are not familiar with the metric system, but I assure you that everywhere else in the world people know these prefixes.

Quote
Also AFAIK, these notations were never used in currency. Currencies have their own names for everything. So should bitcoin.

Yes they are, at least for "kilo".  I'm pretty sure I've heard an american person talking about how he earned 50 'K', meaning 50 K$, ie 50,000$.

Also, with computers people are getting used to standard prefixes.  They talk about the speed of their processor in KHz, the size of their RAM in Go, the length of a transistor in nm, and so on...

I'm pretty sure they won't mind talking about mBTC, µBTC etc.

Moreover, if the period of variation of value for bitcoin is slow enough, then people will only talk about one our two units in their life time.  They will trade in mBTC for their daily expenses, and talk in BTC for their wage.  50 years later, their children might talk about µBTC or KBTC, who knows,  but the range of their expenses will probably not cover more than 3 or 4 prefixes, I guess.

Dans un récent article de ploum sur sa page utilisateur sur linuxfr (http://linuxfr.org/~ploum), je lisais une réponse sur la difficulté avec laquelle on peut acheter des bitcoins.  C'est vrai, je confirme, car je suis passé par là.  Mes premiers bitcoins j'ai du les acheter en envoyant des dollars aux états unis par la poste.  C'est dire!

Ce qu'il faut comprendre c'est que le bitcoin c'est une monnaie électronique "dure" (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_money#Hard_vs_soft_electronic_currencies), donc c'est normal que ce soit pas évident de l'acheter avec une monnaie légère (soft money).  Parce qu'une transaction dans une monnaie légère peut être annulée du jour au lendemain.

Ça me fait penser à une remarque que me faisait quelqu'un quand je lui disais que l'or, ça s'achète pas avec une carte de crédit.  Il ne comprenait pas pourquoi, et sur le coup j'avoue que je ne savais pas trop quoi lui répondre.  Maintenant je sais.

Bref, j'envisage sérieusement d'organiser des rencontres physiques, par exemple dans un lieu public avec accès internet, pour échanger des bitcoins.  Les jardins publics parisiens ont un accès wifi gratuit, et me paraissent donc un bon endroit.  En cas d'intempéries un cyber café ou une bibliothèque devrait faire l'affaire.

C'est peut-être un peu tôt, mais si des gens se manifestent, j'organiserai ça par exemple une fois par mois.  Genre, chaque premier dimanche du mois.
