I can help translating to Chinese (both simple and traditional) but I don't know how to use github

Pardon my ignorance regarding Simple vs Traditional Chinese... is one of those forms more widely used? Can most Chinese read both? Ideally to make ongoing translation maintenance easier we would just pick one form... the more well known :-)

Don't worry about github. Just copy the JSON from the text area in the link I provided. Do the translation and send it to me via private message on the forum.

Code:
Please paste it inside a code tag like I'm doing with this sentence :)

This is a very long story.

Q: Is one of those forms more widely used?
A: Simplified

Q: Can most Chinese read both?
A: I think so

However, some traditional Chinese users (mostly in Taiwan and Hong Kong) would feel irritated by simplified Chinese as they see it as a mean of cultural oppression of the Chinese Communist government, and call it "broken Chinese". (Just imagine your government publishes a "Simplified English scheme" and forces everyone in your country write in shorthand).

Anyway, to respect all Chinese speakers, I prefer to offer both versions. That would not be too trouble to maintain both version because there are tools (e.g. M$ Word and many online converters) to convert between them. Actually I will translate it to Traditional and convert it to Simplified with one click. Automatic conversion from Simplified to Traditional may lead to some funny consequences. For example, "dry" and "fxxk" are represented by the same character "干" in Simplified Chinese, where in Traditional Chinese they are "乾" and "幹" respectively. Therefore, don't surprised if you see a menu like this in China:

Hi. I did the weusecoins.jp site.

I was holding off doing translations in other languages because I can't answer emails in a language I can't speak. Smiley

jl2012: If you can translate the site text into Chinese, and get a domain name, I can open-source it on Github and put it online.

Anyone else: If you can translate the site at a native level and get a domain name - I can help you getting the site online.


I don't think having different domain names for different languages is a good idea. There should be one centralized website for different languages

I'm searching for someone to translate bitaddress.org into french. See here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=139612.new

I'm also looking for someone to translate it into Chinese (simple or traditional... you pick).

There is an English JSON at the bottom of this page:
https://www.bitaddress.org/bitaddress.org-v2.3-SHA1-1d067dc4f3103622ca9de332c3c86fc57d76ec83.html?unittests=true

For the person who provides the majority of translations for a respective language your Bitcoin address will be included in the
"footerlabeltranslatedby" variable.

It is preferred if you provide the translations as a pull request on github but it is not required.

People can use Bitcoin as a store of value AND as a payment network at the same time.  If I want to pay with Bitcoin, I will buy Bitcoin with fiat and pay, without moving my Bitcoin investment.

Selling .11 or buying?

Usually selling. I think there is someone placing many 0.11BTC bid orders at the same price.
2769  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your outlook (price target) for bitcoin in the next 2 years ? on: February 09, 2013, 12:59:57 PM
I definitely do not understand your logic - are you saying that I should not mine because I do not know what I am doing? Hey, there are thousands of miners who mine without knowing what they are doing, but that doe snot stop them.

If you were right, and only the ones in the know continue mining, the Bitcoin would shrink to a very small network, and the price of BTC would go back to where it was in January 2011.

Nah, on a second thought, I will continue mining, I will take my chances...

And don't patronise me, when it comes to Bitcoin, I am comfortable with the knowledge I have (and maintain), I have been mining and speculating for almost two years now, following my instincts, I do not remember when the last time I've made a wrong decision.



If you really know the mechanism of mining, you should know that your hyper-profiting would not last long: not because of dropping of BTC/USD rate, but a skyrocket of difficulty

But seriously: what can we buy with BTC, apart from drugs on SR? I'm not a blogger, I don't need web hosting at the moment. This is something we need to address ASAP.

You actually can buy almost anything these days. What are you looking to buy?

Electronics: http://www.bitcoinstore.com (500 000 products and good prices)

Precious metals: http://www.coinabul.com/

Mobile phone credit: http://www.bitcoinwireless.com/

Coffee: http://bitcoincoffee.com/ & http://bitbrew.net/

Chocolate: http://bitchocolate.com/

Jewelry: http://allthingsluxury.biz/ (I've used this store myself so I can recommend it personally)

These are just a few examples, I'm not going to list everything. With the exception of physical grocery stores, there is actually not that much that you can't buy with bitcoins already.



Yes, but I can buy these things locally with fiat or credit card, at a lower price

Hi I have a TL-WR702N, all the instructions are in Chinese and so is the firmware.  I would like help to install the English Firmware and I will pay in bitcoin or shares in my mining company RSM - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=63257.0 - Thanks  Smiley

I know both Chinese and English. What may I help?

Well I can get the device to work and enter the settings page for the device on the different Chinese IP address compared to the English version.  What I need to know is how to change the Chinese firmware to English firmware.  Maybe I could email you a screenshot of the Chinese setting page I think is about firmware update.  I have downloaded the latest English firmware to my Xubuntu PC and uncompressed it but I don't know how to flash the device.

Please check PM

They would need to actually send the 'fake' profits to the real owners of the shares so it seems like a terrible plan. Now if they didn't have other investors then making 'fake' wagers for publicity would be possible.

First off, to my knowledge so far they haven't sent any profits to any shareholders. And secondly, if they do start paying dividends, they could just be paying them from the principal/IPO cost of the shares. Then its in their interest to keep doing so, as long they issue and sell more shares.

The SatoshiDice operator(s) can use the house funds to simulate players and revenue, obviously at no risk. Whether there are investors or not has no effect on the possibility of inflating players and revenue by simply generating a bunch of transactions to the SatoshiDice addresses. However, if they are raising funds from investors or trying to sell the business (and they are), then to inflate revenues is clearly in seller's best short-term greedy interest. They don't care about the long-term viability because they're selling their stake.

They have paid thousands BTC for dividend: http://mpex.co/?mpsic=S.DICE

Maybe it's just a pump-and-dump trick. Not only the players are fake, they also pretend to be investors. They may just buy 90% of their IPO so the actual dividend they paid is minimal. By pumping the profits, they can sell their shares with very high premium. When they have sold most of their shares, those fake players will disappear.

Well, you can add the 25 I sent to what I THOUGHT was my instawallet address about a year ago. There, I made you all a bit (albeit a tiny, little, almost insignificant bit) richer.

You lost the coins, but the coins were not lost

I agree, they're still there. But if instawallet works as advertised, they might as well not be. No one will ever be able to get to them... they're effectively gone.

In fact, they're not there, because there's no THEM. Bitcoin is an accounting system, not a series of defined monetary units. There's a record of a transaction in which I sent 25 BTC to an address... but damned if I know how to get them back.

Instawallet is a shared wallet. The operator holds all private keys

The operator does not know that the coins are lost, so treats them as any other coins—the operator will not spend the coins. So the coins are effectively lost.

Just like depositing cash to a bank, coins in instawallet are mixed so you can't say which particularly coins are lost. Also, instawallet may change their TOS and charge service fee in the future, or they may get hacked, and those "lost coins" will be circulated again.
