I still would like to see tentative explain me how he could create a chain of 90,000 proofs of work with the same difficulties that are inside the current block chain, and then be faster than the current bitcoin network, so that he could always make sure his chain is longer than the bitcoin one.

Please do so and thus prove us wrong.

Behind the concept of "money", there is necessarly some kind of a "consensus".  The current block chain is accepted because it is the longest one in existence.

The software could easily be modified to accept an other block chain.  So if you can build a longer block chain, I will accept to buy some of your "coins" and I'd use a modified version of the software to do so.  But it would be extremely difficult for you to build such a chain, since it would require a huge amount of CPU.  You could not do this alone.  Nobody could.

I tried this site but I failed to register ! 

I'll try again though.

If, for some reason, I can't be online at the 90,000th block,  if I'm not on IRC either and if this thread is still open, then you will be able to post some bids until I wake up or get connected.  It should not be long.  I will then immediately lock the thread and the highest bid will be the winner, even if it was actually posted after 90,000.

Is that Ok with everyone ?

I'm considering organizing an IRC meeting just before we reach 90,000.

Indeed if many people try to put a bid here just before the end, it could be messy and unfair, since some orders will be delayed.  And a forum is not designed to do real time conversations, anyway.

So what I am planning to do is to lock this thread at about block 89,900, and then open an IRC channel on #freenode.

My IRC login name is password protected, so it should be alright.

I don't feel comfortable accepting a bid if there is a smiley aside to it.

Please confirm.

Edit.  Ahh it's ok.  I don't know why I wrote that.  Your bid is accepted.

Loki leads at 1,100 BTC

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

Some of them are shiny and rounded indeed.  I attached here a detailed photo for those "bumped stickers".

I don't have many of them and they are much better quality than flat tiny ones.  So I'll sell them for 20 BTC.

Edit.  Oh sorry I've just realized you were asking about the size !  I'll take pictures of them above a credit-card sized card, so that you can make an idea of the size.

Has anyone got any accurate idea of a script for such a video ?

I sell some brand new Linux, Debian and FSF stickers for PC.  There is also one Tux keyholder for 50 BTC, and a Tux magnet for your fridge (40 BTC).  See attached photo.

The smallest ones are only 10 BTC.  This is BELOW my purchase price, but I don't care.  This is my way of contributing both to free software, and to bitcoins.

Price includes postal fees.  PM me your postal address and tell me the kind of stickers you want.  I'll send you a bitcoin address.

I will add some detailed photos on this thread if someone wants me to.

If this sell is a success, I'll buy more.  I bought all this at www.it2l.com, but this website is temporarily closed.

You got to understand them : what would those guys do for a living if they had no-one to rule and to tax from ??

Having people work for them while they give stupid orders and pointless regulations, that's their job !  They are just defending it.

About making a video, I'd like to mention the "synfig" software.   Basically it's kind of a inkscape but with animation feature.
It's free software and it can do some nice things.  I'm not good in this kind of artistic stuf but if someone wants to give it a try, just search synfig.  On debian like systems :  apt-cache search synfig

I don't know what will be the price of gold in a few years, but I'm pretty sure I would not feel confident if I had a lot of dollars in cash right now.  Those people are flowding the banking industry with trillions of worthless dollar.  Not only this will eventually lead to massive inflation, but above all, it's unfair enough for me not to want to participate to this by hoarding dollars.

Eble *vi* devas fari tion.  Sed vi ne povas forci aliajn ulojn je helpi vin je fari tion.  Mi ne kredas en la ebleco je vivi al Marso.

Voli vivi tie estas stulta.  Ni povas *iri* tien, sed neniu volas vivi tie.  La Luno pruvis tion :  ni iris tien, ni plantis flagon, kaj ni revenis.  De pli ol kvardek jaroj ni ne reiris tien.

Vivemi al la Luno estas same stulta ol vivemi al la supra parto de Everesto :  oni volas esti la unua ulo je iri tien, sed neniu volas vivi tie !!

Luno, kaj Marso, estas nenio, sed grandegaj dizertoj.  Neniu volas vivi en dizertoj.

Eble vi esperas oni povos terigi Marson.  Nu, terigu unue la terajn dizertojn, antauxe revi pri tio.

Yeah, sure.  I have been hearing this one for quite some time, now.

Current highest bid is 1,000 bc.

Anyone for 1,100 ?

As such a symbol been decided yet ?

If not, I would suggest a drawing of a key, with the two traditional vertical bars for currencies.

Looks nice !

Thank you.

Yeah it's true. Why bother about requiring some reserves, hum ?

I actually agree :  let's abandon all this crap.  Then the federal reserve will have no reason to exist, and we'll go to a free banking industry.  Everybody will have the right to be his own bank :  and in this scheme, I'm sure bitcoin will be the best money ever.
