341  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How I would EMBRACE Bitcoin if I was a goverment on: August 03, 2011, 12:12:18 PM
why is everyone thinking of ways to force people to pay taxes?  or even have a central government?  Why not a distributed decentralized business that takes care of things that a government does, monetize it.

many government programs could be run by volunteers.

there are many ways to monetize.

other government programs could be set up to receive donations or sponsors- no donations project goes away.

just need to work on the trust and corruption.

I have an idea, but its not compleet yet.

from what i've heard, bitcoin bots don't perform much better than buy and hold.

anyone know a good one?

0.5 - .9 BTC lost.

the annoying part is I had a mybitcoin address used for some referral links, so more could go to that address

I have a bitcoin shirt, it says "trust me I'm Satoshi Nakamoto" on the front, with a tux holding bitcoin,  backside, it says "all your bitcoins are belong to wallet.dat" with a picture of I bitcoin and a mining pick ax.  I'm currently at a flash mob -donny osmand's at cesars palace.  Might be in a few videos.

Would like to see stats of how many levels the pyramid has, and how many users are in each level.

Thank you for your feedback! I think it would be nice to see this info for each member since pyramid is a recursive structure (each member is on the top of his/her subpyramid). But amount of levels is not limited and I don't know yet how to implement it effeciently.

Maybe I could just add the following fields to each member:
  • member's level (from the top of the pyramid)
  • maximum depth of member's subpyramid
  • total amount of members in member's subpyramid

(and update them upon member creation)

That seems to be easier. Do you think that would be enough?

sounds good.

Bad form.
That looks like overreaching to me. I've had a ton of businesses when I was a kid, and not once been in trouble over it.
To be honest I'm a bit worried about the US. Seems like there's a lot of crap going on there right now.

I sold counterfeit lunch passes in High School, worked great till my jr year, I had copied mine but changed the numbers.  Next year it was popular, and since I never had a problem, didn't bother to change the numbers, accidentally dropped my sheet, and a friend found it, was un aware of my activities and turned in the paper.  Then they inspected the whole football team's ID cards for fake passes.  I was banned from going off campus for lunch for the rest of my senior year, but since I was 18 they couldn't enforce it, My parents had signed a form that I could write my own absence notes.

we have evolved to have a part of the brain that follows and believes in religion, its part of getting along an groups, hasn't exactly evolved to the point it needs to.

How about a decentralized system of Law and Government? p2pgov?

It's called Anarcho-capitalism.

I tried to get a wiki started to do this and get people to adopt and work on it, Some people pointed me to the An-Cap wiki, before, I'm still learning. Some people pointed out what I was getting wrong and I changed some things.  Many thought i was trying to be too controlling, but anyone is welcome to change fix it, and no one else has contributed, other than the spam bots that have caused me to lock the main page.  Some of the people here on the bitcoin forums suggested we don't need a government of any kind at all and that businesses can take care of all the needs that a government does.  So I changed the basics of the idea to a business that handles government types of services, and allows taxes

Could just put the PC in the fridge but then you would need something to prevent the condensation.
Such as a damp rid or de-humidifier.

Or in my case I can just leave my door open since out side its 3C and my rooms not much better at 8C

Mining = my heater.

Thats good thinking. Maybe put the PC in a sealed plastic bag and then in the freezer.

One of those insulated bags would be better.  I think the large ones are under $10 USD

Most of these tips are bogus. In fact there are arguments that hardware is happier when it can "settle" into a consistent routine, a single constant(ish) temperature and run speed becomes easier on physical parts than spin-ups and spin-downs.

Where did this theory come from? Dude, resting your hardware is the best thing for its health.
Spin that bitch down and reap the rewards.

Trying to lower the difficulty rating??

354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who the FUCK is making bitcoin viruses? on: July 19, 2011, 09:06:33 PM
some bitcoin sites are already blocked at various businesses.
355  Economy / Investor-based games / Re: Bitcoin Pyramid [alpha-stage, 0.01 btc for first newcomers!] on: July 19, 2011, 07:27:24 AM
could the stats page include the number of users, and how many have deposited.

Like this?

It seems anodyne is right: maybe it is worth of changing the rules to encourage more deposits.

For example, to limit the sponsor fee the same way as random fee is limited and to send the remainder to random users (so that nobody is interested in creating long sequence of zero-accounts before making a deposit).

The drawback of this approach is that it doesn't ecourage people without money to join and advertise the pyramid for free. Bitcoin Pyramid could be a good entry point to bitcoin world for newbies, similar to Bitcoin Faucet (and that is our common interest to make Bitcoin Pyramid and bitcoin currency popular).

oops, eyes got caught on the rest of the statistics missed the first line, when i was half awake.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but difficulty increases are used to stabilize the number of blocks generated per-day. So the rate of bitcoins being generated remains pretty consistent with each difficulty increase.

Until we see block payments being halved, I think block generation will maintain pace.

Now you understnad how hard it is to argue with people who don't know basic math Smiley

5 out of 4 people are bad at statistics gotta wonder how many are bad at easier math.
