I just got private tournament creation privileges at Poker Stars. The lowest stakes are $1 + .10 fee. I would gladly send a dollar for Bitcoins at a very good rate. Poker stars software is topnotch. I will also cash the winner back to Bitcoins if they wish.

Let me know if this sounds good.

If someone organizes, I'm in for any stakes.

From the source code:

DanC: the URI scheme list is shared by the whole internet community, so you have to get them all to agree that it's a reasonable idea. It rarely is, though the URI scheme list _does_ have a gap around truely decentralized naming.

I'm wondering if anybody is doing anything about this idea, as I have been researching the possibility of implementing some Internet browser functionality, as per this thread and the wonderful developments described here. It seems that it may be easier first steps, (I'm learning as I go) to try this out and include it with whatever other features the Firefox add-on evolves.

Before this can happen there needs to be a consensus about what form the URI would take. I have done some quick research on the URI schemes and most approaches are frowned upon without W3C approval, there is one category whereby the W3C approves a tentative URI scheme and holds it in reserve, with no guarantees (like a provisional patent), but by far the most suitable scheme, seems to be the magnet URI, which was designed to find a resource by the hash being a product of its content uniqueness, rather than by specific address. Magnet was intended for use by applications on peer to peer networks and has reserved parameters for reference to application specific data. Basically, you simply preface the application specific parameter with an x as in xbitcoin1:?

Is there a script people recommend I can install that does this?

Maybe this -http://www.phpmydirectory.com/features.html

I think a site dedicated to publishing business info for those that do business with bitcoins and offering features such as business ratings, reviews/comments/feedback is better than a full blown social networking type of site.  Single Serving Sites seem more useful.  Besides, Diaspora is near!

I was about to set up an elgg site that is invite only so that people can invite only those they trust to the network.It will have file sharing,private groups,blogs and activity streams like twitter.If anyone wants to help with this project pm me.I know it is a central system however it will be available to anyone who asks.It might do in the meantime untill something better comes along.

Ok, I don't have one yet, My coding skills may or may not be up to actually making one.  But I thought a prediction market in bitcoins would be a good idea.  Because of their anonymous nature it would allow for a wider range of possible predictions than the currently available markets.  My thought is a market in which anyone can offer something to be predicted, with the site admins taking a cut for judging which way it has gone.  Things to be predicted could be submitted and then the judges would decide if they are able to judge that particular thing, and how much they would charge to do so, if they can't judge it it is rejected, if they can but the judge's fee is not met then the market is dissolved at the end and bids are returned.  If they can judge it and the judge fee is met that is subtracted and the rest divided among those with correct predictions based on their market share.
