I'd show them the video on WeUseCoins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc2en3nHxA4


Sharing video is the most easiest way to explain instead using 1000 word with mouth Grin
Plus I'm also shared how I can made $1 into $10 by gambling.So when looking for BTC, I'm explain about there's a local exchanger that able to change local currency into bitcoin. I show them how I can win some bucks from gambling to attract my friend and family.
Yeah..... videos/visuals get much more engagement from teh audience and with over 10 million views(both version 1 and version 2) of the WeUseCoins videos, that is just amazing, a perfect summary of the benefits.

IMO, this is a great event that might lead to amazing things.
It will be interesting to see what Paul Brody has to discuss, considering the fact that he is linked to IoT(internet of things)
343  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Internet of things? on: April 29, 2015, 03:54:33 PM
For me the "internet of things" is still a cool sounding buzzwork, but I don't see the benefits from having, say, microwave oven and a fridge that's connected to the internet. Isn that a bit over the top? this being connected to everything constantly is getting pathological imo.

No, not over the top.  It's the future.  And businesses will be making a lot of money off of it.

IBM and Samsung have teamed up to heavily research and invest in the Internet of Things (IoT) - a model solved with blockchains.

They wrote 2 whitepapers as a proof-of-concept:
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/common/ssi/ecm/gb/en/gbe03620usen/GBE03620USEN.PDF
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/common/ssi/ecm/gb/en/gbe03662usen/GBE03662USEN.PDF

I'll highlight some quotes from their latest whitepaper:


Quote
Through the partnership with Samsung Electronics and collaboration with the open source communities, ADEPT successfully demonstrated four use cases using functional Samsung products:
  • A W9000 Samsung washer autonomously reordering detergent (B2C)
  • A W9000 Samsung washer autonomously reordering service parts (B2C)
  • A W9000 Samsung washer autonomously negotiating power usage (B2C)
  • Samsung Large Format Displays (LFDs) autonomously displaying advertising
    content (B2B).
By empowering devices to engage autonomously in markets – both financial and nonfinancial – and react to changes in markets, the IoT will create an “Economy of Things.” Virtually every device and system can potentially become a point of transaction and economic value creation for owners and users. These capabilities will be crucial to everything from enabling sharing economies to energy efficiency and distributed storage.

Quote
Applying the blockchain concept to the world of IoT offers fascinating possibilities. As soon as a product completes final assembly, it can be registered by the manufacturer into a universal blockchain representing its beginning of life. Once sold, a dealer or end customer can register it to a regional blockchain (a community, city or state). When registered, the product remains a unique entity within the blockchain throughout its life. The possibility of maintaining product information, history, product revisions, warranty details and end-of-life in the blockchain means the blockchain itself can become the trusted product database.

Quote
Devices will be part of ecosystems that can also require continuously evolving levels of trust. As more transactions occur between peer devices, trust will evolve between them. What starts as an interaction between two trustless peers can over time become a semi-trusted or even a trusted relationship.

Quote
So washers and refrigerators of the future, for example, will be equipped with higher storage and processing capabilities that make it possible to meet blockchain requirements for a specified period of time – not only of themselves but also of light peers in their trusted environment. We expect such products to become the standard in the years to come.

Quote
For example, a solar micro-grid may be commissioned for a decade or a smart street light may have been registered a few years back. When servicing or support is needed, blockchain access may verify the first registration or installation details.

Quote
These technological changes could foretell the biggest revolution since the origin of general purpose computing and transaction
processing systems.

Quote
One strategy that does offer certainty, however, is not advisable: sitting on the sidelines and waiting for others to pioneer this technology.



TL;DR: The Internet of Things can ONLY SCALE AND SURVIVE with blockchain technology.  They're calling it "future-proof"...
Thats an amazing piece of information, just like a goldmine Tongue
What do you think of a simple IoT project?

I haven't been active on this auction and I'd like to pull out with immediate effect. Good luck with selling this, i just have a few other things i need to fund and o.05 or so on this would not allow me


No problem at all. I understand life happens sometimes and plans change. Your bid has been withdrawn. Have a great day
Thanks a lot for understanding mate. Have a nice day
345  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How would you introduce Bitcoin to your friends and family? on: April 29, 2015, 02:20:23 PM
I'd show them the video on WeUseCoins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc2en3nHxA4
And while this is going on, I'd explain each and every aspect and compare it to fiat and let them know about the advantages. Then, I'd focus on the blockchain a bit and if they're interested, they'll be browsing weusecoins on their own, or else, ill setup a blockchain.info wallet for them and then perform a few transactions, and I'd let them know about changetip and how they can tip people and stuff.

Contact this guy at Zinodaur.com, i believe he made something like that earlier. i've seen it in his portfolio and it looks amazing
here is a look at it. I am in no way related to him, I was about to hire him, but the talks broke down. I'm just a mere fan of his work

348  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Methods of growing your Bitcoin? on: April 29, 2015, 02:05:05 PM
last year i've tried put bitcoin to investment in various things.
From IPO altcoin, invest on gambling dice, cloud mining, invest on a group of trading bitcoin. Some of it end with scam, another is making profit but only in short term period.
Next to do are invest on bitcoin faucet, my friends told me he got decent amount of dollar from ads network as publisher on his faucet.
that is only when you faucet is not infested by bots, which is the case with most of the faucets. If you have a faucet like bitcoinzebra or something like that which is worthwhile, you can possibly make money.
349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Classic Bitcoin Polls - What is your all time favorite Bitcoin wallet? on: April 29, 2015, 02:03:21 PM
Blockchain.info as my hot wallet though not it is running out of my funds, otherwise, i have a few paper wallets. Nice idea for this poll. only 47 bvoters now, but maybe more in the future

The second link is quite informative, NYSE and BBVA interested means they really have confidence in Bitcoin' potential
352  Other / Off-topic / Re: Complete the sentence... "I would sell all my Bitcoins if..." on: April 29, 2015, 01:35:28 PM
If the price went to a million dollars per BTC, though I might reconsider selling them :p
353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: i found satoshi nakamoto on: April 29, 2015, 01:33:02 PM
Satoshi Nakamoto is probably someone still posting in here, under a moniker and most likely one of the main usual developers. It was probably planned to not want to have a public creator of Bitcoin to enforce the perception that Bitcoin is no one but everyone.
Yeah, he might still be lurking here, but we can't say. Lol at LitecoinGuy's pic
354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Internet of things? on: April 29, 2015, 01:29:51 PM
AFAIK, 21 is working on it.

Yes, I do know that, I've read some news about them bit they're quite secretive.
355  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitcoin affiliate programs? on: April 29, 2015, 01:27:24 PM
As much as I like affiliate programs, the Bitcoin ones hardly ever work out. Plus, by advertising certain services, you will be held responsible if they suddenly go "POOF" Smiley
Thats right, though, some might be credible
Either way, here are a few resources you will like OP

This is pretty much the perfect answer, thank you! Smiley

357  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Internet of things? on: April 29, 2015, 10:18:51 AM
seems cool indeed, maybe you can make it even smaller(than the one of that video)? i could see it attached to a keychain
I dont think that is possible. Moreover, i jsut ordered an arduino today and bought the other components at a local store. Maybe, a spark core would do the trick of making it smaller. I know you can easily see the price of your phone but i was just thinking......

Any other ideas where you can implement them?

359  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: [ANN] AdBit.co - Advertising platform, better than clicks/views! on: April 29, 2015, 09:44:55 AM
Thanks for the note, we just corrected it:

AdBit.co table with CPC and CTR
That is actually interesting and helpful, maybe will help you spend less if you are having a large budget, s you get the highest amount of clicks Cheesy
360  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: April 29, 2015, 09:43:35 AM
That is actually interesting. 4 years on, the price is $200 with a high of around $1k

yup. great gains compared to the start of the thread. even still, not everyone who was around in the early days got rich. some of us didn't have anything to invest back then. the most i had at one time was about 20 coins, and that was before we broke 100. spent most of it back then too.
Yeah....back then, no one predicted that the price of bitcoin would even breach the $1k mark. Anyway, I',m sure the price will be $1k or so sometime in the future(dont hole mee responsible if it doesnt happen Tongue)
