The devs aren't the only people who can come up with things like ways to compress the blockchain, for instance - there's just not a whole lot of incentive for other people to do it.
exactly. i think this would be a really important move by the community. we should be putting our money where it counts. besides: better software = more users = higher value and utility of btc |

maybe? i saw him posting almost angrily in the comments section of adam cohen's post on quora about how dumb the post was. he seems kinda mysterious, but genius enough to do it!

cool, i guess... but isn't this just the same as saying "i got bitcoin working on linux"
|
|
|
|
|
i think that's probably true.
so, who's your money on?

Bitcoin is not "user-friendly" for conventional business at the moment and it's not going to enjoy wide-spread adoption while it's cumbersome to acquire, to store, to spend or to exchange. It's not going to become user-friendly any time soon unless people are paid to develop solutions.
This has nothing to do with being "user-friendly" and 100% with the attitude of the core development group: 1) check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koIq58UoNfEabout 1:25 into the clip: we don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. 2) utter disregard for the GAAP; check out the old thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=93502.0It just too bad that the juiciest portions were deleted by Maged at the request of Gavin Andresen and Roman Shtylman. remember that gavin has said elsewhere on this forum, that they just see the satoshi client as a proof-of-concept, nothing more. i think the future is in the alt. clients, and i guess that opinion is shared with them. still, it IS the first one people download from bitcoin.org and that should either change or the damn thing should be nicer to use. money! |

repentance is on the mark.
can we get gavin and the other guys in here to comment on this?
i know that gavin is a self-made man and doesn't need it for himself right now, but that maybe doesn't apply to some people he'd like to have involved, or others on the team right now.
and if there's such a thing as mob rule or voting: the first non-core thing that should happen is that a UX/UI designer is hired to improve the aesthetics of the satoshi client. :-)

All you need to do, Is goto the github repository or wiki, that shows all the developers, find them on the forums here, and see if they have their bitcoin addy posted for donations.
i was thinking more like a wikipedia thermometer. "we have our fill for this month" |

how do you know some people don't?
i don't. but it just occurred to me that we can do this. like, we can actually boost the productivity of the whole fucking game by... you know, being a little recursive. :-) |

maybe some of them would like to work full-time on it?
and besides, couldn't they hire more people with that money? what other open source project even has this possibility!?
|
|

nobody won this last time.
we should really do an official bet for the next one. any takers?!
|

it just occurred to me that we have this crazy flexibility with this stuff.

because maybe that is the one to use, or not to.

Well, actually, in my country you have access to internet and computers in jail.
Even in your own cell if in not missinformed (which i might be since i never had the "opportunity"
to view it first hand).
what country is that again? :-) |

no really, i'd like you guys to tell me why the fiat conversion indicator is not important :-)
