That statistic is false.

Two reasons.

The way you are counting people is assuming each address is a person when in reality almost everyone has tons of addresses.  When you combine them together, each person will have more coins AND there will be less people total so the .1% will turn into a greater number such as 3%.

The second is obvious, with 'joint' accounts such as exchanges, that concentrate bitcoins that are really owned by many different people.

I think the market will decide the price if they keep doing auctions.  If it is too high, go elsewhere.  I can imagine it leveling off at 5 btc a week, but if they can raise more money this way, go ahead!

I do not want to see display ads, but the rotation could be as high as 50/50 with adds and forum announcements. 

Also detailed metrics of how the last ads went would be good.
2744  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Flexcoin Payments went out on: October 10, 2011, 08:46:56 PM
We pay the fee on every external transfer.

That doesn't make much sense. You should be saving it to to increase the dividends. None of the exchanges charges any fees and transactions always go through. Ever wondered why? You might want to pay a fee sometimes but it is definitely not required for every transaction.

We pay fees because honestly it's the right thing to do...    starting next year remember they are going to 25 BTC reward,  then 12.5 ...  and it keeps halfing...  so our opinion is that miners need to get paid to keep doing the service they are doing.



Agreed.  Also generally when I am using flexcoin, I am making a payment for something I want in person through my phone.  I want that payment to be fast, an so far it has been.  I also do not like using services that have no business model.  Flexcoin for free would be great until it went away because it made no money!

If I was at home with lots of time, I would use my own client and set the fee (if any) that I want to use for that transaction.

Price change.  This laptop is about $90 shipped USA (not AK and HI).  After this I part on eBay where the LCD alone goes for $70.

2747  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: At what pricepoint is bitcoin dead? on: October 09, 2011, 10:56:27 PM
For me price is not to important so long as transactions move.  I can run my store with bitcoin being 2 cents.  

With the price drops, the difficulty is slowly dropping as well.  I can see bitcoin going all the way down to $2, with difficulty going to about half of what it is.  At that point the network size will be closer to 6TH and electricity costs will be less of a drain on the system.

Got mine today and I am very happy with them.  They look and feel great in person.  Good work!

I use bit-pay.com and am very happy with it.  I use opencart for my cart, and they created a payment module for that cart. 
2750  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Too many new coins, not enough new Bitcoiners on: October 07, 2011, 10:52:30 PM
It's low today was 3.75 ...  and while it was crashing we printed an additional 7200 coins

let me know when you guys believe it's becoming mindless.



I do not want the price to drop.  But it will.  The network is just too big right now.  It is not hugely oversized but  in my estimation it is 2x too big but that is just my crazy guess.  When the network gets down to 5TH and the price gets down to 2, it will be more 'right sized' as a currency with less dollars going out the door to electricity.  The network can stay stable at that price for a long time as more people adopt coin.  Then it will slowly grow again.

Hopefully the price will grow in a more steady even pace, that is related more to the use of bitcoin then the speculation on its future.

There is nothing wrong with the rules as they stand.  Things just got (very) ahead of themselves.  This is the market correcting itself.

And since everyone here will probably start whining about me "trolling" or some other ridiculous nonsense, here's my own 10 cents of work.




I'll accept 10BTC for the source files to both or 5BTC each.

Currently you are the winner and I would like the design on the left. 
2754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [NPR] Did A Reporter Just Solve A Bitcoin Mystery? - Satoshi Found? on: October 03, 2011, 08:10:29 PM
Satoshi would not be first concerned about user encryption wallet, just like Gavin told at the NY conference.

He would be concerned about how to dump the rest of the coins on the market without anybody noticing Smiley Just like the 20k dump a week ago  Shocked

Whoever he is, he is LOADED  Angry !!!

We can tell which coins Satoshi mined in the beginning.  We can tell if they move.

Matt, you keep editing your post (doubled price) and your stuff is now not visible.

SolidCoin 2.0 will have none of this drama with the hackers, and it will be the only chain that businesses can rely on to not get robbed.

Businesses will rely on a chain that has been down for more then a week and can be turned on and off by the will of one person?

New member Mica who is in the newbie jail still designed this:



And Mica has a vector file as well and is currently the winner.  I will close this on the 5'th and if nothing better shows up, Mica is the winner.

That one disappeared, but looked like a good style for a site called 8bitcoin.com (which I do not own).

I'm surprised the bids are so low for this type of advertising. This forum has a huge amount of traffic and I don't know about others, but that "News:" section is generally the first place I look when I come to these forums. Very good way to keep updated, and generally there is good info in those links.

Are there anymore limitations besides what was originally posted? For example, can a user rent the ad space and link to a thread on this forum? I'm assuming so, but might as well ask before bidding.
Last round went for 50 btc which is $250 for a week.  That is pretty good for even a busy forum.
2760  Economy / Services / Re: Advertise on this forum - Round 2 on: October 02, 2011, 01:25:11 AM
I know it will go higher then I can pay in the end but I will get it going at 3btc.
