speaking of nitpicks, i can't believe people were complaining about a ~$2 ticket price... seriously i think it should have stayed at 0.1.

The difficulty in obtaining them has more to do with traditional banking systems than Bitcoin.
absolutely! in comparison, let's say you have LTC for example... in that case obtaining Bitcoins is not difficult at all.

i've just completed the first cull (of links from 2011)
if you missed this deadline and wanted to keep an old link, you can simply go create it again (maybe in PINK this time)... or PM me about my offline backups...

Bitcoin is transparent. Smells like freedom. Tastes like victory.
feels like a dream sounds like ??

Could it be possible to send coins to an unused address, so that someone gets a surprise when they generate a new address? hmm...
Yes. But it may take longer than the life of the universe to accidentally generate an address with coins already in it.

I came up with some idea over what the 'official' color of Bitcoin can be.
What do you think?
if Bitcoin has an official colour, it should also have an official smell, although i don't know what yet. and taste too. what does Bitcoin officially taste like?

anyone can send money to charity but this takes real skills: I plan on making a Satoshi Dice like site
i wonder if you've thought about how this works behind the scenes. i'm genuinely curious how would one go about achieving this. i suspect they (erik, etc) make it look easy when the reality is quite different.

No, "The customer sent a address that they couldnt get to" does not mean no one could get to that address.
yeah that actually could be in exactly the same category as the above "instawallet user couldn't get to coins, but instawallet owners can".

forgot to mention here, i dropped the thrucoin fee down to 0.5% a few weeks ago as the most recent visitors have no doubt seen

What would happen if they did this?
i don't know how current wow economy works, but i would think blizzard's profits would drop as they would be unable to magic new coins out of thin air. in the current system, can't they just go blizzard_acc += 9000 and sell those extra credits to suckers for fiat?

anyone want to try making a litecoin version of this bitcoin logo instead? basing designs off that other piece of crap btc logo is amusing. they look like the kind of coins mario or sonic might collect.

I am holding too much money for the forum. This is contrary to the forum's otherwise decentralized structure. I'd like to get some extremely trustworthy people to hold smaller chunks of the forum's money (maybe 250-500 BTC per person). Actually this is a very interesting question. This might set future model for bitcoin security banks. Banks not in the sense of an enterprise taking deposits and giving loans for profit but banks for distributed cooperative security where there is no single point of failure. Of course 100% reserve requirement is a must! OK, your avatar has to go. I tried to squish the bug. Seriously. a few days ago i had an ant running around on my monitor at work. i didn't brush it off it because i assumed it was just someone's GIF. seriously.

d'oh i thought your landlord was skilled in the art of wallet-juggling and took the btc directly disappointed

that all depends if these are short-term savings or long-term savings.
for long-term (say 5+ years), i have faith that spending them will get easier, from pretty much everywhere.

I have just lost 1 btc by sending it to a wrong instawallet address... instawallet's owners have control of that wallet, so that coin is not lost. sucks for you though.

I have been telling everyone I know about Bitcoin since I first heard about it in 4/'01.
what is 4/'01? i have no idea how to interpret that.

no bitcoins on your n00b server for hackers to get into and steal.
security of the coins is handled by people with experience.
|

probably late to the party, but happy to help, theymos.
i don't think you need to settle for any less than 100% public reserve, with no fees.
it doesn't cost anything to keep coins offline.
