I have exactly three Tunisian friends, one who I used to be somewhat close with.  I wonder if sending him a text saying I heard about this and congratulations, would be a little weird.

This public vote is a scam!   Only people in the Bitcoin100 can vote.  So that means Gage has to send a PM to each member asking for their response.  And at that time he can include the message that from now on, if they want to be in any votes, they have to keep an eye on the main Bitcoin100 thread, so he doesn't have to spam everyone again lol

I would argue the value of the clicks from DailyBitcoins is no where near the value of the clicks from these forums.   The mindset of the userbase is completely different.

I checked out this flattr thingey that was suggested in archive.org's blog's comments.

Support the Bitcoin like flattr service that has been around for quite a while, offers buying Bitcoin with Paypal, and so much more https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2877.0

Could an admin/moderator restart the poll so we don't have to wait until Phinnaeus comes back? We need to get a decision done asap that reflects the current situation.

Yes, cause I thought I've noticed a couple of people saying they changed their vote, and this is pretty damn close.   But then everyone would have to be alerted to re-vote if they did so already.  Or start a new poll.  I think this is how those elections got fucked up when Bush was put in office or something lol

That is a really great line up.

I can't wait to see the amount of people reselling the Bundle for Bitcoin next week or so.

Noticed a tweet from Meat Boy, poor guys, hope everyone supports a good cause

while it doesn't feel right to punish them for accepting Bitcoin on their own, the fact is that they don't need the extra incentive

This to me is all the more reason why they should be chosen as the first place to donate Bitcoin.  They are huge.  They don't need any extra incentive or what not.  We aren't here to promote them though, we are here to promote Bitcoin.    

It works on so many levels too, you have the actual Archive.org staff who will not be checking shit out, the general web users of Archive.org, which I would say if you are using that site in the first place, most likely you know how to use a computer.  That site doesn't come up on an AOL front page, that site is for people who are on their computers and have some kind of use where they got to the point of using Archive.org.  Their backing is the backing of smarter users.

Now I know this does not please scammers and people who are into Bitcoin for a quick buck, but for all you people who want Bitcoin to succeed in the long run, having Bitcoin incorporated and accepted as a regular part of Archive.org screams legitimacy.   For every person saying "uh.. that internet money is just used to buy drugs" will now have another bigger site to point to saying they use it to.   I think I may be misunderstanding something, but I see only big positives if the majority were to vote for Archive.org as the first to kick start this donation thing.

As would I, but I'd prefer such donation to take place after Bitcoin100 has contacted archive.org with this offer and archive.org has replied positively and with a request for this support.

I thought the whole role of this Bitcoin100 was to promote Bitcoin, not the 'Bitcoin100'     They seem to be supporting Bitcoin, what more requirement is there for them to have.

When will a decision be final on this?  As I think waiting might hurt the impact of having a bunch of Bitcoin donations made to them right after they put up this type of donation system.

This is a huge step toward greater acceptance.  Archive.org and not only their history, but influence among other websites in general, so good.  As long as I have been into Bitcoin, this is one of the larger strides I have seen made.
290  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin100 & archive.org on: December 14, 2011, 01:36:28 PM
A million times yes.  Archive.org is the perfect foundation to use as a focus for the Bitcoin100.  No better start than a site that does nothing more than ensure we cannot forget or change history.   I vote my first pledge goes to Archive.org.
291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Staff from PBC suggests taking control of bitcoin network. on: December 11, 2011, 04:27:26 PM
I like the path this is going down.  Cheesy  I hope China DOES "take" the network.  Watch the value drop before their eyes as everyone jumps on Namecoin, Litecoin, or hell, even possibly SolidCoin.    Then when another country tries to take a dip in this pool, watch the hydra of digital currencies fly.    I love it, go for it China.

This is more an "FYI this is interesting" than a call to action because very few of you will be able to access their website; they're a private MP3 torrent tracker that sprang up to replace OiNK when it was taken down.

Here's the really interesting part: one of the reasons OiNK was taken down so easily was that the media companies were able to prove that OiNK was receving donations to PayPal accounts in exchange for access to the site (or maybe just extra features? I don't know the exact details). Good luck proving anything with Bitcoin donations.

To g2x3k or whomever made that "Optimal (updated): minerd.exe + gui 64 bit or 32 bit" at the top of the page.  I'm on a computer that for whatever reason could never do pool mining, always gave some weird error and Litecoin would just shit out.  Solo mining has been fine, but the computer was not worth doing that.  Anyways, for whatever reason, it's working!    Not sure what the difference is, but thanks Smiley

Very cool, nice job rassah.

BTCurious must be a writer, those tiny edits that most people would toss away as whatever, really improve the email, which I already thought was good.

Just give it a day or so.   The site did change addresses recently, so I think the beginning is now silkroad*****.onion, not sure what the other amount of characters are off the top of my head.

Also that joke of try other roads is fairly true now, there are alternatives.   Be safe, share what works well.
