Also I have to call you out on something, you do run a service that cuts out the need of a bitcoind at all. It is ironic you want more node participation when your whole business model is cutting that setup out.
That is not at all our business model. Strengthening the Bitcoin network in every way possible is in everyone's interest, including ours. You do make it so people/companies don't have to run a full node, so you are contributing to this issue. The network needs companies like yours making it easy for some people, but I disagree companies like wordpress and reddit using your company those are two companies that could really strengthen the network by running a bitcoind as the backend. |

I think one huge problem also is people have no idea what a full node means. I saw 2 threads, this past week that both asked "What is a full node" and "How do I start running a full node" and they both were running full nodes. Also I think we need to start telling people to start with the bitcoin-qt and bitcoind then move into web wallets. Then just starting off with web wallets or light clients.
Another huge problem is scaling, there are some threads that shows that bitcoind doesn't scale very well when you start getting into these huge numbers, and when some bigger companies are going to want to start entering bitcoin world. They will learn very quickly they just have to get bigger servers to have the bitcoind work correctly. This is a turn off to run it.
Also I have to call you out on something, you do run a service that cuts out the need of a bitcoind at all. It is ironic you want more node participation when your whole business model is cutting that setup out. Cause if wordpress was made to run a bitcoind, I am pretty sure they have some good pipes could have been a good full node.

I have wrote many front-ends and I am actually working on something to make this a little more easier and secure (has yet to be released)
Give us more details.

Does this require a connection to a Bitcoind server? Can't really look much into it right now.
Nope he says he uses the bitcoinj as the wallet part |

"Zero Fraud" and bitcoins aren't immune from hackers and scammers, there is some incorrect information. Plus this has nothing different then the wiki, just package in a nicer background.
Plus the dude looks like a tool just have to throw that out there.

ANOTHER ONLINE CASINO SERIOUSLY? PLEASE NO MORE ONLINE CASINOS!

Get a real domain, this stupid free hosting is going to hold you back. Also don't put a miner on your site, I know your trying to get coins but for our CPUs that is a lot. Also I wasn't able to really look at it, cause it seems your site is under review (probably cause of the CPU miner), again get a real hoster and domain don't do this half-assed like you are.

I fully support this endeavour. If enough people contact them about this, they will eventually have to give in. Make it so that it is less work for them to add a bitpay donation option, than it is to reply to the constant flood of emails/letters asking whether they accept bitcoin yet.
It is a little more difficult then flooding them with emails. I think we are beating a dead horse with this. |

Hell, that was easy. I already had the full client running. I can see the traffic flowing now in my logs via 8333 port forwarding. However, client still only shows 8 connections. Will keep my eye on it.
It is cause your router isn't port forward, and your connecting thru uPnP, you need to forward port 8333. Otherwise your not really getting incoming connections. |

I've had similar experiences. I've lent to a number of individuals all with seemingly good BTCJam ratings and scores and two of them are defaulting on their debt repayment schedules. As it stands I am set to receive back less then I invested originally.
Judging from experiences shared above, this is a common story.
Yes it is common cause no one does hw, I think people are dumb, and leave all responsibility to the site. THE SITE IS MEANT match loans to people who want to loan out coins, they give you some information that these people are who they say who they are, that has no bases for making loans. It helps cause those people are not anonymous, but what do you think BTCjam going to do, go to these people's houses with baseball bats and get your coins back at all cost? I mean come on, I think it is amazing they are even consider compensations for people that lost money due to there lack of intelligence. |

Where are the creative people in the Bitcoin community? I look into Silicon Valley and I see ideas flourishing, really changing the script on what things are possible. I then look at the Bitcoin community and half are trolls, a tiny percent just recreate libraries in different languages, some times creating the same library in the same language, another percent are just remaking sites that already exist with no updated features for quick profit. While greed is good, isn't this what sealed part of the faith for fiat currencies. This makes me sick, for a couple of reasons. One we need to draw in the other side crowd only so many of them will play the 5 Satoshi dice clones. We are at a huge peak, from outside companies and VC's this is exactly what we wanted, but now creatively in this community sits at an all time low. I can't remember the last time someone made an announcement on the project subforum and I was blown away. How are we suppose to show people the beauty of Bitcoin when the sites are becoming stale and not pushing that boundary.
Now I know many people are going to write "why don't you make something?" or "You create something that will be awesome". The answer is very simple I have an Evernote notebook filled with ideas, many of them half started. Also I walk around all day writing more ideas. Time is valuable to me and everyone, if only I had enough time I would be building some awesome projects. I have also stopped work on most of my projects as well, cause I realized a software niche that has to be filled, and I hope to fill it. During this time of writing I have added more things to my notebook. So I know this looks like an attack but this is just tough love to the community that I value so highly and hope some new people will get the bug to create things that make this community shine.

So, my unqualified questions are: has the source code been ever reviewed by independant groups, and has anyone ever compiled any version and compared it to the packages offered on the TC site?
I think people have compiled it for windows, but like very few. It isn't impossible but extremely unlikely you could without having there compiler. I have yet to see a comparison from independent groups. Plus it is released under there own license it is just a very shady operation. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items?rd=ForbiddenItems#TrueCrypt |

Just download the bitcoin-qt or bitcoind and you will be a full node

My friends and I use a heavily modded version of this for our chat. http://frug.github.com/AJAX-Chat/(Let me know if you want to see the chat. Ours is private, so I'll have to set up authentication) Not to mention it's highly extensible. No one has to reinvent chatting IRC works perfectly js That's true, but my school blocks all non HTTP(S) or FTP ports, and ergo, prevents me from connection to IRC. All web based clients appear to be blocked, so it's possible this could provide an alternative for those who are unable to access IRC. tunnel over dns, but I doubt they would block SSL ports since it is enrypted, Where there is a will theres a way |

The reason no one uses it is cause that it requires flash or java, make it all html, css, javascript and maybe people will use it. Right now I rather use my IRC client in chatting cause I know it is save, java or flash can be harmful.

Ok so google app engine has raised prices of there datastore, so I think someone should create there own appengine, payable by bitcoins. http://code.google.com/p/appscale/That is the code all open sourced basically you drop it in write some nice front software, to accept bitcoins, profit. |

I pledge $0 cause True Crypt is getting shadier and shadier.
Please explain. There are rumors floating around that the developer(s) have left big backdoors in the software, and that they are a honeypot. *Tin Foil Hats ON* Anyone can review the code, build their own executables, and compare them to what is offered. The unspecified rumors you are referring to are not very sensible. In fact, you referring to them is not sensible. No offense. It would be much easier and effective to modify downloads of truecrypt en route to your target, or to compromise their system in some other way, then to install backdoor in genuine tc installers. If you can download the source and compile it, I will be amazed, it isn't easily stuff. But of course it is just rumors, and stuff, you do what you want, I personal stopped using truecrypt on extremely sensitive data, more cause the Identities of these programmer(s) have never been release and that never sits well with me. |
