Really nice idea, but you'll need more than 7 followers before it's worth paying for.
For sure. Please follow :-) I'm not going to buy bulk followers or anything so the number may not seem impressive for quite some time, but they'll all be biological human beings.

Now you can tweet (to a growing audience) without even making a twitter account. Go to BitcoinHorn.com, enter your message, pay the current price and the message will be tweeted immediately, no confirmations required. It's brand new, I'd love some feedback.

The current HOT formula is [total BTC / sqrt(time since post)] correct? This would mean something really old would be better off being reposted if there was a resurgence of interest.
It could be (payment/sqrt(time since this payment) + (payment/sqrt(time since this payment) + (payment/sqrt(time since this payment) + ...
So that if something starts getting paid a lot again it doesn't have the baggage of being old (which would just make someone make a duplicate posting anyway). In fact under the current setup (if I understand correctly) it would pay for someone to go around making copies of all content that was still getting paid but was somewhat old because their copy could get above the original somewhat cheaply and start earning the influx of new money on it.

I think charging even .001 for posting is bad. Finding great stuff and showing it to us is now a great way for someone to get their first coins. If spam gets to be a problem make a checkbox for "hide 0BTC items"
Posting is free, but will only show up under "newest" listing. For something to be "hot" on the front page, it needs to receive btc. Right, people are worried that new stuff will get burrieds in a deluge of "asdadjh" and "Eat my butt" and "xxxxxxxYYYYYY" spam postings. If you want to see the new, even the low ones without seeing the totally useless 0 ones a checkbox would be good. This would also give people (posters and others) incentive to make that first tiny payment to distinguish a post they like from the trash.

Reposted from newbie section: I made this account today trying to by something with btc. I first heard of bitcoin when my dad baught some about a year ago. I like how you don't need any approval to own bit coins. 1qKhBj3USYaxo1Q5DTpk4UUMSmSXKS8cx

This is a friend of mine.
If a mod will move to Marketplace that would be great.

When will payments go out?
Is it easy to show the upvote address before the poster gives the payout address?
Or simpler, a checkbox for "send my payments back as upvotes". They you should not bother doing the payments in the chain and just give 5x credit and take the whole thing as fee.

Also, post awesome stuff on coinsmack.com.

Regarding this whole innocent until proven guilty or the other way around, how about we just leave it up to the individuals involved, but imprisoning an innocent person is punishable by the same imprisonment. It's not right at all for someone to be more reckless with another persons freedom than they would be with their own. Not just judges either, working for a facility that uses rules that lets them jail innocents is recklessly negligent. Maybe you can't check out the history of everyone who is locked down, but can certainly look and see if the procedure can lead to false imprisonment and determine if it's likely enough that you'll take the risk yourself.

Throw in some poker at Seals, even if only the freerolls.

Widget to add the coinsmack.com thumbs up to external websites This would be great, but it seems like a huge security risk. Is there some way to make sure the site hosting the widget doesn't switch out addresses? It wouldn't seem so. I plan on giving them a cut of the action as well. Also, the widget would be to vote up their stuff, and make it more popular on coinsmack. This would benefit them (probably more than being a scammer). I think it would be more of a reputation risk for them rather than a security risk for myself (I wouldn't lose much because of them BSing on their website). That makes sense.

For this reason, I think it would be very advisable for everyone to upgrade their clients when either BIP-16 or BIP-17 get adopted. I think the concern is that this is not likely to happen. I saw a figure somewhere that 70% of clients are running a version lower than 0.5. What about a staged update like when the default fee changed 0.3.22/23? I don't like to upgrade. I really appreciate the work that goes into new features and versions, but sometimes things go wrong and I want to stay months behind. I certainly see the value in the improvements being discussed, but what I need is working and my main priority is keeping it that way.

Got a notice today from Twitter that all we needed to do was add "#spon" to each of our campaigns. I've done this, and they've re-enabled our application!
While Feed Ze Birds has been down, we've been addressing a couple of overdue development goals. We're going to finish these out and open up the site again by this weekend.
New features: Better spam account recognition Performance graphs on stats page 0 confirmation deposits
That's great!

Just looked at the ole Deepbit account, and over the life of my account, I have found 37 blocks. Thus, I would expect to have mined approximately 1,850 BTC.
HOWEVER, I have only earned 1,453 BTC. This seems like a huge disparity! Have I just been insanely lucky, and expect my luck to get worse?
Wish I had been solo mining.....
Probably should have been pool hopping. My understanding is that hopping is unethical..... They you shouldn't have paid people 397BTC to do it. You are subsidizing that behavior. I switched to Eclipse.....They claim to be immune from hopping, and I get an instant 3% raise. Win Win!! Very nice. I think hopping works itself out eventually. People move to pools that don't use the vulnerable system and only pool hoppers use the ones where hopping helps and eventually give it up because everyone is doing it so it gets so little advantage compared to a set it and forget it pool.

Yeah, I paid. What do I get to own?
You get to own code that represents the magazine on your phone. I won't bother to stop you from copying it and sending it out-- that's not my job. My job is to find the best way to distribute it to the largest audience without bankrupting the initiative. I'm not going to ask for a refund or anything, I think the paper copy will be worth a lot more than 1BTC. I'd actually kind of like 2 copies, one to read and one to keep in good condition as a collectors item. But.. it would have appropriate to mention I needed a $200+ phone to use my digital copy (aka code?). The phone I have cost like $9 and I don't think your code will run on it.

The whole plan is not crystal clear yet to me either as I am rather new to this. I will tell you that we are planning for: - iTunes newsstand
- Android
- Kindle
- BitcoinMagazine.net direct view
So sending me the digital copy isn't something you have in mind? Are you worried I'll show my magazine to people? Is it okay if I show the paper copy to people? I haven't seen viewing as being an issue. People can go to Barnes and Noble and read the entire magazine without buying it for example. It's ownership that should cost money imo. Yeah, I paid. What do I get to own?

by that mentality everything in the world should just be free.
That's not implied at all. Simply everything that is free (copying digit information) is going to be free.
