I'm also looking for something similar, but different because I don't want it to be instant. I'm looking for the average weekly BTC price between all trustworthy exchanges. Daily or monthly values could also be useful.

I thought bitcoiners enjoyed privacy?
Shouldn't we respect each other privacy?

I would first ask the person if he has a wallet, and then I will send BTC to his address. I can't recommend giving BTC to someone who isn't familiar with it already.

I have received a free prepaid MC 2 weeks ago. I got it while opening a new phone line. I've registered it, and I now have to wire money to the account linked to it, but I haven't done that yet. Don't know if I ever will. I have normal credit cards, and this one doesn't bring me anything I already have. A BTC prepaid card might raise my interest if it were totally anonymous, but I don't think it could be done legally, so I'll probably stick to my credit cards.

More than 100 million people suffer from malnutrition in this world. There's war in Syria too.
As I'm not responsible for this situation, I don't feel sorry about it.

Never talk about mining, nor about investing in BTC. I've introduced BTC to many people, and I describe it as an electronic, immaterial currency to make quick and cheap exchanges internationally. All the people I talked were very interested. Mining is for geeks and I hate computers, so it's not for me, but I enjoy the ability to send money abroad without any middleman taking his cut.

For every dollar that you use to purchase Bitcoin is a vote against the establishment.
Is this correct? There's some truth in that, but we're talking about a micro-minority against the almighty majority. BTC may grow one hundred-fold before the establishment needs to worry about it. |

Good. I hope there are many law enforcement people in every BTC meetup, so that they see there's nothing wrong about it. BTC's got to move from its drug & gambling image.

Who needs a nation?
I don't want no nation, and I don't want to be a citizen. Animals don't have nations and they're doing fine. They're not destroying the planet like the human race does.

I've been looking for a bitcoin-based alternative to adsense for a while now, and the companies cited above are very, very far from adsense. They just don't attract much advertisers.
I can only invite you to join one of them, but you have to be ready for a sharp fall in gains compared to adsense. Actually, you may experience a total absence of any revenue.

When I discovered BTC, I tried every software I could find, and every faucets as well. I still own 4 wallets with dust which would barely pay the fee to move them to my main wallet. So those wallets just sit, and I'm sure there are thousands like that. It would probably be more useful to look for the number of unique addresses used per day.

Fees are everywhere. You buy some groceries and you pay with your Visa, and Visa will collect a fee (paid by the merchant). And you paid first to get the Visa card. Paypal is quite successful and it charges much higher fees than BTC.
Maybe it would help if we hide the fee. Let's say you buy something for 10BTC, and you will pay that amount but the invoice will show that you've paid 9.995 for the product and a 0.005 fee. The software could work like this, instead of adding the fee, it could deduct it from the sum to send.
The only trouble is that the fee can vary according to the weight of the transaction. This could be a serious issue if your BTC has some dust in it.

You may also check the page that lists the largest recent transactions. There's some serious business going on.

Gosh! I've read so many posts about people complaining the fees were too high, it's nice to hear the opposite, even if it doesn't sound real. But, we may look at it as a way some evil-minded guy may want to corrupt the system. I usually make transactions with a 0.0005 or 0.001 fee. If some guy is stupid enough to make transactions with much higher fees, I'm afraid miners (who are not stupid) will look for ways to process these transactions before they do mine. I don't much imagine how they could do that, but then I'm not a programmer. Makes me think that since there is a limit on the bottom (a minimum fee), there could also be a limit on the upper side (a maximum fee).
Why? The amount of fee will be directly proportional to the priority the transaction gets. That's the whole idea. The more you pay the faster you are served. It doesn't get much fairer than that and it doesn't have to be defined explicitly because the free market of mining will take care of it  Well, I'm certainly no socialist, but I don't like the idea that people who can afford paying higher fees, get their transaction processed faster than mine, because I plan to keep on paying low fees. I understand fees can vary according to the transaction's weight, but 2 transactions of the same weight shall require the same fee, and be processed at the same speed. |

I know this is about BTC, but I'd like to add the payment method comes second when I'm choosing a restaurant. The food comes first.

Wow! This is very impressive. Lots and lots of addresses! Serious money, too.

..resultant from a new consumer protection regulation..It usually starts like that when gov. imposes control on your money with protection regulation.. Did I miss something? I wasn't aware of anything like that. I guess we need a lawyer here. What has changed? If there's new regulation, it's got to be somewhere. |
