I definitely suggest you take some time to play around with Open Transactions, and read over the wiki.

Email me if you have any questions.

But you can get as many ass beatings as you want from a computer for free. It isn't that the ass beating service isn't valuable, it's that it's already provided gratis.

This is a great idea, I love playing chess.

The problem with playing for Bitcoins (or any kind of money) is cheating. If you play with someone, you can be running a Chessmaster copy in the background and just make the moves that the computer does (by using your opponent's moves against your PC). This way your opponent would always lose, unless he is Kasparov - or unless you are playing blitz chess where there is no time to use the Chessmaster. Correct me if I am wrong.

Why not go the easy way and keep the accounts on the server,  surely this thing is backed by a database of some kind and it 's easier to create a Frontend to that instead of having to distribute and maintain a custom client.

this document assumes that the reader is familiar with the XMPP protocol (http://www.xmpp.org/).
The protocol described here is in development and will suffer changes in the future that
may my break compatibility with previous versions.

Any date and time is in the format specified by the XEP-082.

That sounds good. Where would the BTC come from?

I've been playing World of the Living Dead lately (it's currently in beta.) It's a free to play browser based MMOTBSG. The developers sell credits to players which can be used to buy items (using paypal) in the game. Imagine if such a game accepted bitcoins! Actually, I seem to remember a thread about such a game in development

2011.01.13 <gavinandresen> I got email from Satoshi about a tricky bug today.  He's just busy.

(keeping in mind Bitcoin accounts are anynomous it would be damn hard to prove that you actually sold something, unless they arranged a fake sale and pretended being your customer)

You assume it is voluntary. Consider a farmer forced off his land and into a city by a powerful landowner. He can choose to work in a factory in basic slavery. Or he can choose to starve. Some would consider that "voluntary" free trade. This is not a hypothetical example, by the way.

Thankfully, normal humans understand that we require cooperative efforts to survive and improve our condition.

The question we should be asking is: do we wish to make our lives better individually at the expense of others, or do we try to take the concepts of solidarity and basic human decency seriously? What kind of world do we wish to live in? To see our children live in?

Hi guys,

I'm personally not convinced that the Somalia situation is as horrible as the media paints it or as rosey as some libertarian YouTubers suggest but this is a very interesting read.

I stopped reading after this phrase.
