yep bitcoiners from europe

it is in taiwan not korea

yep it is per month - most landlords charge per month - it is not a hotel.
the days when you paid 1btc per day are long gone i'd say. (edit: or do you mean you staid in a 250$/night hotel? )

this house is more than a 5 stars hotel - on a bitcoin scale it is +5 startoshis

going rate depends on the city, kaohsiung is cheaper. 5000TWD is cheap for a room. airbnb minimum is 500TWD/day.

true that

good seller from germany. i work with/for him since years!

those 2 are dry/not working:

http://ldoge.crypto-blog.info/

all works ok at the moment.
2 withdrawls i made from C-CEX have been lost but returned today.
2nd try worked fine.

in other news, withdrawing or depositing LDOGE should be fine on C-CEX now.

thanks for rising the payouts again to 30000 LDOGE from block 51000 - i understand that as a compensation for all the trouble

okay thanks, hope 51k is happening soon, what a bloody mess. ><

aaaand...it forks again. (edit: and i am for sure on the newest version and it was fine before)
repairwallet shows mismatched coins who then do something they shouldn't eg stake on its own every couple of minutes.
for some reason i never get orphans anymore - only stakes. is that part of the problem maybe?
i stopped the wallet and will try to resync again.

better fix this whoever is good with PoS coding or you loose support soon.

good luck and thanks for all the hard work trying to fix it so far!

you can get in touch via skype / email as listed in the OP


cheers

ok done. now waiting for staking (hopefully not storking again )

are the new wallet graphics/logo not included yet?

ok i see. i slightly edited my post to make it more clear what the issue is.

there is an issue with the checkpoint being too old for other PoS coins (also for asiacoin, peercoin and paycoin and most likely others)
i got now a warning message that looks similar (not exactly the same) but saying things about the checkpoint as well:


their solution might also be fixing our problems:

it is still in the middle of taken over. here are some pics from one of the rooms listings on airbnb - which is still available.

edit: i will update with some pics. good to hear your opinion. if you know someone who might be interested share this info. thanks!

guys, so far i had no problem since resyncing. wallet looks stable to me?? indeed it might be the xplorer misbehaving now...

Some bitcoin enthusiasts in taiwan are now starting their own place called the Bitcoin House Taiwan and are looking for new tenants.

The Bitcoin House Taiwan is located in Kaohsiung in the south of Taiwan.

Taiwan?
Yeah - the small island also called "ilha formosa" or "the beautiful island" right next to china, hongkong and japan.
this is also the country of topmodern smartphones and computers and the place where you can buy bitcoins 24 hours a day in more than 3000 physical convenience stores in taiwan. it is literally impossible to not find a familymart - and there they sell BTC!
i don't know any other country where this is possible yet.

The House
is located on a small island called Cijin near the Kaohsiung Harbour/airport. It is a popular tourist spot and has a nice beach.
The house has been used as a cafe and some rooms were available on airbnb for travellers and long-term stay people.

you can check it on coinmap.org.



Now the place is up for rent again and people can pay first time their rent exclusively in Bitcoin only.

The rent:
... is about 0.6 btc per month - at todays rate (friday, 17th april 2015) - of course this is due to the volatility of bitcoin a "floating" value
this is equivalent to ca. 4000 - 5000 NTD per month including bills depending on the size of the room.

There are 5 rooms in the house to choose from.
The price includes all the bills and you'll get your private room with a window, ceiling fan, double bed, lamp, wifi, and a desk.
The ground floor is a former coffee shop which is now free to use as an office, meeting/exhibition space etc. for all the tenants and their friends.

One first tenant from Germany has showed interest - a freelancer, who does translation and graphic design for bitcoin.

If anyone is interested in taking a part on this BITCOIN project in Taiwan just let me know, or get in touch with Eddie, we can give you more details.

We are also open to new ideas, we support cool innovative projects.

Just propose your idea.

No deposit needed.
