I can't help noticing the irony of these T-shirts being sold in $
haha yea - someone should send a message to those guys and suggest that they accept bitcoin. |

I think you're unintentionally spreading FUD here. If you give something away into the public domain (in jurisdictions where that can be done) you can't be sued for it. If you think that's not the case, show me a link to a counterexample.
i will do just that, then, my friend  apparently you have not heard of the rather famous JMRI court case.... in brief: 'good guy' writes foss software. licensis it under the weak "artistic license". 'bad guy' goes and makes a closed-source offshoot of it, even files some patents, and then sues the original author for infringing his patent/copyright. I know the JMRI court case well, but it's not a counterexample because (1) no-one gave anything away into the public domain (the software was permissively licensed), and (2) Katzer sued the original author for infringing his patent, NOT for infringing copyright. For sure, the patent system is seriously broken, as is the court system, but even so Katzer lost in the end and "good guy" Jacobsen won. well, if you read perens's analysis of the case, the very permissive 'artistic license' made the case for the 'good side' more difficult. 'public domain' would have even worse issues. i'm specifically referring to the second link i posted: http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/features/article.php/3866316/Bruce-Perens-Inside-Open-Sources-Historic-Victory |

Evildoers' deeds could be used as political ammunition.
Mostly to damage the credibility of copyright and patent institution in question.
I won't say it is not without risk, to be copyfree.
well, more power to you, whatever makes you happy. but as i see it, protesting thievery by leaving your valuables on the sidewalk is not a functional long-term strategy. |

does trading in the market count? (aka, 'exchange services' ), or do you only count 'real goods and services' for the challenge? |

Invitations for this Diaspora Pod are closed right now. Don't worry, your invite will still work, please try again in about a week.
sorry, that's outside of my control... i can send you your .5 btc back if you like - but then once they let you back in, you'll send it back to me or you could just wait a bit.  |

also you should look into ripple-project.org I thought ripple was loaning money? Nobody is owed after this transaction, everyone is paid up front my understanding is that you should be able to both pull (borrow) and push (prepay) along a credit path. |

which version of gpl? and... if pot is reached, will you post code on say, github, and continue development? |

Are you planning on changing the fee for every transaction?
yes, when it gets to the point that fees really make a difference in speed of getting into the chain... i might send a larger fee for transactions i want to be fast, and smaller or none where i don't care about speed (e.g., donations). |

+1 for this. eliminate the bank altogether - route credit through web of trust. |

 P.S. best thread ever! |

What if you never reached the total set by the artist?  simple: artist can decide whether to take what's been collected and release the file, or return all contributions and keep the file to himself. |

that's what the "added transaction fee setting in UI options menu" bit is. you can set the fee you'll pay through the gui. (earlier it was only possible with bitcoind.)
Yes, I found that in .17 and it is cool. But I think the 'send coins' dialog is better place for this because of usability. It gives easier way how to set up fee separately for every transaction. But it is only an idea and I'm happy also for current solution. yea, i also think that the 'send coins' dialog is a better place for it. or at least, to have it in both. |

you might be able to do this on top of ripple (ripple-project.org)
people can 'accumulate' ripple credits, which can be 'settled' with bitcoins once they reach a certain amount.

Is transaction fee used for confirmation priorities? If yes, it would be cool to allow changes of fees directly on 'send coins' dialog. For some donations of few bitcoins I don't care about time, but if I want to send coins to somebody who is waiting to confirmation, it can help...
