It would make an interesting graphic.
Addresses could be used to pick colors.

I would pick out Alan Turing, Charles Babbage, ... any other suggestions? I think a cyroptographer/mathamatician/programmer line would be good and create a full set (I need at least 6). |

I personally am against putting actual people on currency too.
Old U.S. coins used to have images of Lady Liberty, the embodiment of an idea, on them before they switched to dead presidents.
I think she would be a nice face to see returned to money. Or barring that, some other embodiment(s) of an idea (although such things don't seem as popular nowadays, not sure what would be both available and well-known.)
Feel free to suggest ideas. I feel that a graphic that conveys something that bitcoin stands for would be more meaningful than a person. |

Julian would be great but I'll need his permission.

Ok how about some more legit people related to the principles of bitcoin. Include some reasoning.
Doesn't need to be people. The silk road and alpaca I think count.

Feel free to throw out suggestions and reasons. I'll do a poll after I get a decent list. Try to avoid national bias.

A better way to fight against GoDaddy: https://plus.google.com/115702843161763309837/posts/2QqAe6xP7XkGoDaddy has been a supporter of SOPA which has caused many to boycott them. Here is an even better way to hit them in the bottom line... Add this somewhere in your webpage (you can just stick it somewhere in the footer) <a href=" http://www.namecheap.com">Domain Registration</a> GoDaddy is #1 in google for "Domain Registration", but if enough people link to this (it doesn't take much) they will be nocked out of the coveted top spot. This will be a huge dent in their revenue stream, as I think their target audience are people that just chose the first google result. This is referred to as a "google bomb" and it works by the fact that search ranking is based upon the the weight of the links pointed to a page. The name of the link helps them correlate the search terms that match with the link. Namecheap was chosen as they have a high ranking (so they have a good chance at popping to the top) and has been vocal in being anti-SOPA. You can use the coupon code "SOPASucks" to get a discount there too. I just added it to editthis.info and cueflash.com (both with a page rank of 5). That will hit them in the SEOs. -- edit: I added this to explain why I was linking: <a href=" http://www.namecheap.com">Domain Registration</a> <a style="font-size:small" href=" https://plus.google.com/115702843161763309837/posts/2QqAe6xP7Xk">(why?)</a> Looks like my post made it into the Atlantic Monthly  |

Does anyone still have an archive of the old forum? It would be fun to look through. |

On December 12, 2010, 12:22:33 PM (local), Satoshi Nakamoto, founder of Bitcoin, penned his last post on this forum. We'll now pay homage to this man by declaring today Satoshi Nakamoto Day, marking the one year anniversary of his last communication to us.
What he left for us is an ideology, and all who've followed his path are his descendants, his legacy lies with them and all those who'll soon follow.
In honnor of Satoshi Nakamoto, I shall post this declaration at the exact minute and, hopefully, second to correspond with the timestamp of his last post.
If he writes another message, doesn't that just screw up everything. Wouldn't his first known message be a better day? Sorta like the birth of bitcoin (or at least conception). |

Apple giftcard for sale that I received for Christmas. I can either send you the code, or I can send you the card in the mail for 1 BTC more if you are in the USA.

So I am inspired from xkcd today for this one:  Coinstar is a machine that you dump coins into, and it converts to bills, but usually extracting a fee. They have some exceptions, such as getting store credit (these are usually in grocery stores), or getting amazon gift card credit. Amazon sells nearly every product in existence, and I think many people consider amazon credit as good as cash. People on the forums seem to like getting amazon credit in exchange for bitcoins, and the difference from the mtgox rate seems minimal. So here is a simple way to convert fiat into bitcoins and yet still remain anonymous (which seems impossible from the current exchanges). Fiat coins -> coinstar -> amazon credit -> bitcoin talk forum auction for said amazon credit. It would be great if some hacker not as busy as myself were to set up a site for users to sell amazon credits, but I think the forum works well enough. It would be really funny to create an exchange completely based on amazon credits and bitcoins, but amazon credits aren't divisible so that would put a wrench into it. --- Edit: you can also buy amazon gift cards for cash as well, but it isn't nearly as amusing as the whole coin->bitcoin thing. |

You divide you page rank by the links on the page. More links means less weight per link. Being targeted matters.
This assumes that Google does not lower the ranking of pages appearing to participate in a "google bomb". Not likely. This is more of a real positive link, rather than ones like "miserable failure." Their bot should see this as just other sites voting up namecheap over godaddy. |

tr: Illegal byte sequence
Try prefixing the pipeline with LC_ALL=C . Thanks guys! Let me know your address 2112. JJ, you get a tip. |

tr -dc a-f0-9 < /dev/urandom | head -c 64 | xargs ./pywallet.py --info --importhex --otherversion 52 --importprivkey

so no one just has a priv/pub pair creator for namecoin?
|
|
|
|

There are two qr codes exposed on the right. One is just the pub address, the other is a direct link to the balance on block explorer.

I'm just wondering, without a trusted third party, how can someone trust the maker of these bills that the private key is really under the hologram?
Impossible to know. When you buy physical bitcoins off someone you are putting your trust into them. The code to create the PDF will automatically generate the keypair and put the QR codes into the bill. It would take modifying the code to remove the private key. Though the printer could also scan the private key themselves to steal them (or also modify the code to make it record them). That said, when the details of the algorithm are solid and can be translated into php or a bash script, I will be incorporating 3rd party private key addition to the bills (you would print a sheet, sticker it, send it to someone else to print over keypair two and they would sticker and cut it). So what you're saying is there is no guarantee to their value, which makes them essentially worthless by virtue of being totally unreliable. good job. They are as reliable as the person that prints them. This is the nature of physical bitcoins. |
