Hi. Let's assume someone has a sum of BTC which he keeps for emergency cases, as an alternative to USD being kept under the mattress  How can one use these funds, quick, painless and w/o worries? Can one rely on BTC? The only options is see are: 1. Selling bitcoins on the market. The cons here are that it takes time, and you have to also convert from PayPal USD to real USD ( i don't know if you can use PP to pay for things outside the internet, like groceries or so) 2. The over-counter alternatives, like forum, bitcoin 2 mail etc. Takes a lot of time and may be unreliable. 3. The virtual VISA cards. Nice, but only for online use. If these cards could be converted somehow to real VISA cards it would be amazing! Yes, right now BTC is not as liquid as USD. Give it time. This currency is only about 1 year old, after all. |

I hear you, do you have a link for that approach?
I'd like to see a system that does not exclude users without a 'PC' or smartphones. Cyclos implements cellphones. And even African countries have cellphones, so it's very inclusive.
It happens that this morning I heard about a french company who offers a service for paiement via mobile phone. Basically it uses only sound to transmit data, so it can be used with pretty much any phone. I forgot the name of the company, though. I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of solutions like this. No offense, but I believe your stuff, cyclos, is just one of them. PS. ok I've found the name of the company : TagPay. http://www.tagpay.fr |

I think there are many banking/accounting systems that could be used with bitcoin.
Beyond being a method of paiement, bitcoin is a CURRENCY. As such, it can be used in conjonction with any of the current financial system techniques.
I personnaly prefer the use of the digital cash from David Chaum, but this cyclos system looks good as well.

When do you think Ron Paul will mention Bitcoin ? Hum... good question. Because if he mentions bitcoin in 2011, and gets elected as PotUS in 2012, then technically the correct answer will be 2011, right ? |
|

Yeah I know it's a stupid poll, since nobody could guess that.
But I'd be curious to have an idea of how quick bitcoin users think this money could get famous.
PS. I voted 2013

Yes, and this time "Bitcoin" is sitting next to "Ron Paul" and "Wikileaks" in the article header.
So it is probably going to get hot soon.
True. I'd say we may already see this as we can see an other surge for the keyword "bitcoin" in google trends : http://www.google.com/trends?q=bitcoin |

Indeed I see only "Pass" for each assessment. However, I guess only an administrator can put the page back. I guess they won't hurry. |

Hum... seems like a good candidate for a gateway from bitcoin to Visa/ATM.

I think problem with repo files or some ACL's on Tuxsoul server. Maybe information about this error useful for him.
P.S.
You think is offtopic?
Oh sorry I hadn't pay enough attention. Indeed deb.tuxsoul.com is the repo from the author of the first post of this thread. My bad. |

French version of the article hasn't been removed and seems to have less sources
Tell me about it ! Maybe it just passed below their radar... PS. check out the history of the page and see who is the main author  |

hum, I'm sorry but what is this the output of ? aptitude update yeah that's what I thought. You have a pb with your repository. Anyway it's not related to bitcoin at all. |

Of course, if "the public" is grabbing the donation address off your "Donate to Us" page, they could generate a list of donation addresses, add up the donations received on all those addresses, and figure it out.
Well, if a CGI script generates a new address (or account number ?) for each visit, there is no way the public could make a list of used address, could it ? I mean, each address would be visible by the donator and by the donator only, right ? |

And from stable repo come only php4-eaccelerator. [/quote] hum, I'm sorry but what is this the output of ? |
|
|
|
That generates a new address for new CGI script invocation (== each page view).
An attacker, or just a popular web page, could fill your wallet with never-used addresses.
Well, a new address would only be generated on each visit of the "donate" page, not the main page. I don't think it would be that much space consuming on disk. Also, is there any other way to prevent public to know how much have been donated ? |

http://pastecoin.com/download.php?file=55 0.10 BTC Blah, you can only do so much in one hour of coloring. Anyway, I shrinked her pony tail and gave her a ribbon, which is not easily identifiable now. I put in some shading for skins and hair. The next time I work on this, I'll redraw the right portion of her hair(Remember, she's facing us). By that point, I am pretty much done with the line art on her face. I'm tempted to buy it but I kind of feel like I will regret it. Not because I will lose 0.10 BTC, but because it may hurt my eyes irreversibly. |

I will now only publish the ID 1HkJCceXf7of1sTNRVJbXiZHfDTLL71Siy in all mails, forum, webpages I use.
I even changed it on echelon.i2p.
Please notice that if you want to use a different address for each donation, you can. A small CGI script can do the trick. See there : http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1796.0 |

I actually do see a bitcoin address on the I2p webpage.
This is good news. I'll give 1 BTC.

Those debates about coding style in C++ are part of the reasons why I've never been much enthusiastic about this language.
What about a plain C implementation of bitcoin ? Do we really need object paradigm for this anyway ?
|
|
|
|
What are you talking about ? Why would this destroy the internet ?? |

grondilu: by the way, i have created the #bitcoin-auction channel for conducting irc auctions. should be a fun place, once more people start auctioning their stuff. in the meantime... you're welcome to use it for your coin auction when we approach block 100k.  I usually create a specific chann but if I'm welcome on #bitcoin-auction, ok why not. Thanks. |
