You know that the reason why it's being suggested is because it's "BS", right?
I would hope so, if not, I am not in!

I am going to third B$. That would be too funny.

I would change all Bitcoin related images I use on any sites to the B$ symbol if enough people are down.  I would like that official too.  No one would have to download any special characters.   Does any other currency use two characters?

We should have a forum just for trolling (I realize there already may be one, and if so I'm glad I don't know about it yet).  This thread would fit nicely there...

You know a forum is nice when it has a "Flames" section with no posts in it https://bitcoin.org.uk/forums/forum/43-flames/

This morning, somebody switched BitcoinEXpress' normal cocaine filled Starbucks with 7-11 brand decaf, let's see if he notices

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=46646.msg565883#msg565883 seems to be making an interesting letter to send. I think it could use some work, but it doesn't suck.   I think Bit Pay needs to be backed more.  They don't need people writing emails for them, just people to actually use their Bitcoin to buy things or start using Bitcoin to make purchases for things they use cash or other forms of currency on.

It will only take one person to complain about it and I am certain that the FireFox block and google will block the site without a second thought.

I am not sure where you got such a negative view of the technology lol.  On top of a decent ad replacement imo.  I have seen someone have that either set up the page or was going to, that has it donate to NORML.  So another use would be charity.   Another idea is if Wikipedia were to implement it, it could run properly without worrying about donations.  I think there is a lot of positives that could come, instead of focusing on the one negative of a botnet abusing it, as a botnet can abuse a lot of good things, doesn't mean they shouldn't exist imo

How is this any different to creating a botnet?
The user would know they are mining either for themselves or for the site.

All it would do is turn people away from litecoin or consider the website a trojan installer.
I 100% disagree.  But if I had the perception of what you think the site would be used for, then I understand.

You really think it is OK to steal CPU cycles from people visiting the web site and there will be no back-lash?
Yes, there is a misunderstanding going on here.  Where is stealing anything coming into play?
Quote
... and who is going to keep the coins? I take it your not going to give the coins to the person who mined them?
lol, duh, of course not, but I make sure that the people who use the sites I have it on, know it is running.  I see the technology as a great way to avoid having to have ads on a web site while at the same time ensure costs can be recouped.  I have no unethical intentions, I have been using BitcoinPlus on the Bitcoin Porn web site for months now, it has been advertised that it is using it since day one, along with a link to information on how it works.   

A lot of technologies can be abused, but this one has a lot of good potential imo.

casascius, there is definitely some interesting options here.  That CNET idea sounds better the more I think about it.  As you could easily contact a few news sources regarding this.  All the news reports of the big hacking incidents with Bitcoin after the fact, Gox, Mybitcoin, whatever.   This time the news can possibly take care of some of the investigating.   Might expose some flaws in Bitcoin we aren't seeing without that outside perspective being more hands on with what is going on, as they always do seem to report well after things are done, and usually misreported.
389  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I consider bitcoinplus a scam on: October 26, 2011, 08:43:51 PM
Im surprised there are sites like Litecoinplus.com or any other CPU Friendly Altcoin. You could uses the same site for LTC, FBX, TBX, or even SLC.

Hopefully coming soon.  I am keeping an eye out on it.    BitcoinPlus is more or less just technology that was never perfected, so is old and nearly useless in the current implication.   If anyone could motivate the maker to show him how damn profitable it would be, I'm sure he would be on it.

Well someone is hitting at the right time.  Look Mike, you are on CNET!

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20125470-1/are-physical-bitcoins-legal/

Edit: Yesterdays news it seems, just caught it in my news feed though.  You should contact CNET and let them know of your issues regarding this.  See if they want to spin a story on Bitcoin and anonymous attackers.

In my defense, I had Photoshop open anyways.  Seemed like something people in this thread needed checked so they can go onto the next stage of whatever is going to come from this thread lol

Bitcoin Porn, with quote marks and spaces.  Same result without quote marks but still having the space.  Finally, the same result without quotes or spaces.



My inspiration for non-Americans, plus enough has happened since BP to take them out of peoples minds

It looks like a Photoshop, the 82 is out of alignment, blow it up 3X and you can see the pixel distort.

I hate that I checked, but, here it is at 600%, not only is the 8 and 2 fine, but I thought they looked too close together if not aligned properly, but it turns out spacing it accurate as well.  You can compare to the 2 to the one further down by the zero and how this font lacks good spacing.

394  Other / Meta / Re: The Case against Solidcoin, and it's place on bitcointalk.org on: October 26, 2011, 04:21:12 PM
I am curious to see the ruling come out for how crypto currencies will be defined.  Otherwise, as long as people know it is not decentralized and is closed source, buyer beware.

395  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Alt Currency section on: October 26, 2011, 03:09:34 PM
Is there any way I can get this moved to the meta section? Maybe add a vote to it?

I suggest deleting or locking this thread and just starting a new one.  Though I thought thread creators had the ability to move posts, I honestly am not sure.
396  Other / Off-topic / Re: Thoughts have been left unsaid. on: October 26, 2011, 03:01:47 PM
I'll accept that as soon as the Second Coming of Christ. Heh.

Will you accept it sooner if SomethingAwful allows you to join by paying in BTC?

I want want more than ever, now I would have a cool trinket and I would be able to support MemoryDealers

But holy shit at this still https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49826.0  I think I might buy one, but I will not tell anyone lol
398  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Developers on: October 26, 2011, 02:39:08 PM
Curiosity on this, because I notice these threads regarding the devs.  Are some just not wanting to be listed?   
399  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is blowing UP, please stop it! on: October 26, 2011, 02:35:23 PM
When the products come that people actually desire or need, that come from the markets of one of the digital currencies, expect it to be unique and to draw actual users who wish to use the currency.   All of these are still possibilities to grab a large market imo, I fear that SolidCoin will be the one to do it first, grab the first big business' that is willing to take a jump in and help draw in new users by the shitload.    It is one of the positive sides to that centralized coin, full control, that no doubt a larger business wants to hear, they don't want to be affected by exchange rates.

As far as Bitcoin itself, more people need to back Bit-Pay and every single company they are marketing to.  Those are the people who could give a shit less about the exchange rates and are still taking the risk to incorporate BTC into their revenue.   That is going to make differences, when people who don't care are profiting from Bitcoin.

I'm currently working on a JavaScript based miner for LiteCoin if anyones interested in it?
Let me know if you are.
(This means mining can be as simple as opening a webpage! Maybe pointing to the IP address of your litecoind server first, or would people prefer a pool?)

This can be a good way to monetize a web site : the visitor is running your javascript miner as long as he keeps the page open.
A few suggestions :
- allow to parametrize how long and how heavily the miner will run to avoid annoying visitors (call it periodically for a fixed amount of cycles using timer callbacks).
- allow to keep track of who mined how many shares (session identifier passed together with the results) to provide incentive, or allow browsers to mine on pools.
any further info on this?

Yes, I completely missed this.

If someone can get this technology going, I will help promote the fuck out of it, if it works. 

Use this as the model http://bitcoinplus.com, except dont disappear after you create the site  Cheesy
