I agree that names are too political and probably won't be accepted by bitcoiners. Ultimately though, I believe that fractions of bitcoins will have nicknames. Saying "0.0000001 BTC" is not practical.
That would be 10 satoshis. |

been trying to get funds into gox since last week. Finally put in a support ticket and today they said they had to talk with their dev team as to why it took so long. Still waiting for the funds but at least they said it was in the que.
bullocks.
Coinbase.com is my favorite method for buying and selling but it might only be available to US citizens. You have to link your bank account with your Coinbase account but that is painless as they don't require any of the identity validation like Gox and Dwolla. You do have to wait the 3-5 business days or so to receive your coins, but the exchange rate is locked in as soon as you initiate the purchase. And the fee is only 1%, so if you're a casual buyer, it's an excellent (perhaps the best?) option. Bitfloor is pretty painless. Oh, wait, that's where I buy.... It's only good for selling BTC  . |

Hey Evolve, you know how I used email back in 1989? I had to physically connect my telephone receiver to a device called a "modem", then dial up the number of a thing called a BBS.
...
I'm very much using the same email protocol, though now it comes in the guise of a gmail account, which gets routed through my cellular network to my iPhone. But yes, ultimately, it's still email. I suspect that if/when BTC values reach their potential, the people who will be able to capitalize will be familiar with the following form of e-mail addressing: hubhost!middlehost!edgehost!user@uucpgateway.somedomain.example.com
BTW, I do still have a modem. The only other option is satellite, and I do use that when it is working although the modem is actually preferable for ssh sessions (barely...Viasat isn't bad these days in terms of latency.) At my office in town I have cable thankfully. From his usage I assumed he meant this type of modem: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_coupler |

Come'on, give the guy a break... He had an Idea and is/was excited about it and sounds like he is enjoying the research etc. This post doesn't sound to me like he is asking people for their money and English is Obviously Not his first language.
In a way, this is how everything in Bitcoin started..with an idea. Many people here just spend their time acting like dicks so they can feel better about themselves or something (I really don't know why). Let people talk and let the ideas flow, after all isn't this the "Custom Hardware" forum?? I'm so sick of hearing crap about BFL, bASIC, Avalon and various scams as I'm sure many of you all are. Let people TALK and Quit being Dicks. If you think their Topic or post is nonsense then just move along...pretty soon there will be no one in this forum cause it's become TRASH
If you in any way support Bitcoin then please let others be able to have some excitement as we all once did and some of us still do.
I'd like to believe that instead of trolling me now that some of you will just Move along.....Thanks
Too much excitement will get you burnt around here. |

AAPL... brought back to life through extending credit rather than matching competitor prices.... Chinese citizens, carrying the US economy on their backs since 2013  . Hopefully they are smarter than that. |

if you read the Wiki. TL;DR You must be extraordinarily lazy. Because I'm really lazy and didn't have a problem with otc. |

Right now, we have an internet "currency" that is difficult (or at least cumbersome) for the average person to figure out. It is hard to move money in and out of exchanges, and history tells us using the exchanges is risky, since many of them have closed up and ran off with peoples money. OTC trades are even more risky.
Once you have your BTC, you have to take ridiculous measures to ensure your wallet isn't somehow hacked. You can skip this step, but doing that has cost people on this forum a metric shit-ton of money..
Once you take these security measures, you can finally spend your BTC, if you so chose....but wait! what are you going to buy? The btc market mostly consist of virtual items, black/grey market items, and trinkets...and if you are lucky, the seller will value his "rep" more than your money, and actually sends you the item (or doesn't scam you with a fake item) because there is no way to chargeback.... you could go with escrow, but thats another extra step that shouldn't be needed just to by a bitcoin keychain or whatever.
Add in a poisonous community that scams each other at every given turn (just look at all the ponzis and other scams), and you can see why I dont think this will go anywhere.
I think its cumbersome nature and main userbase aren't going to be changed anytime soon, and certainly not before scammers run this shit into the ground.
Hey Evolve, you know how I used email back in 1989? I had to physically connect my telephone receiver to a device called a "modem", then dial up the number of a thing called a BBS. I then had to input a string of commands into my computer that would connect me to the BBS and start up a programme called a "client", through which I was able to "download" my emails. I would then disconnect from the BBS, write my replies, then start the whole process up again and tell my "client" to send the replies. I would do this, on average, once a day... normally in the evenings. And I thought it rocked! But at the time, most of my friends and family around the world thought it was too cumbersome. Now they email from their iPhones and Blackberries... so again, the only failure here is a failure of the imagination. No. The user doesn't care about imaginary software. The failure is usable software that eliminates the complexity. It's coming. |

Your savior here is called the "keypool". By default there will always be 100 unused keys in your wallet. When you ask for a new address, it grabs one from this keypool (which has already been backed up hopefully) and then generates a new one to stick at the back of the queue. There is a keypoolsize parameter you can set to alter the default size of 100 keys.
I disagree. He got lucky. The "keypool" is the reason there might have been a problem to begin with. Deterministic wallets are clearly superior. Sure deterministic wallets are superior, unless you are generating an abnormally large number of keys or have privacy concerns. |

Only do business with people you know and trust. Anything else is just a good heuristic that will fail.

Also you should edit your post or do this in the future so the chart fits on normal monitors: [img width=900]http://blockchained.com/stuff/bitcointalk_stats.png[/img] This is a very stupid way of doing this. Rather than restricting the size on the image, get theymos to do it on the stylesheet. Then it will fit on all monitors and also won't be artificially shrunk on widescreen monitors. That would be ideal, but until the forum gods can oblige us with better stylesheets, please do the "very stupid way of doing this". |

nobody's dumping. How interesting
They wasted their money trying to crash the market in the $13s. I tried to warn them!  |

What do you make of the fact that the price goes up in small, continues steps - and then there come sudden big dumps. Most of volume is on down moves - but it still goes up. Looks like the buyers have more cold blood - while the sellers are more impulsive.
This pattern is called a "right translated cycle". Typical price action in a bull market. Slow methodical rises with short scary vertical drop corrections. Bear will markets show the opposite action, slow steady declines punctuated by sharp short-covering rallies. More info: http://www.decisionpoint.com/tacourse/Cycles2.htmlIndeed. |

How i can collect people?
And how i can collect the money? (in safe way)
Religion should work pretty well. Maybe reestablish Czarnobóg? You are very funy. But i am not. Practice? Here are some jokes that might help: www.jokes.com |

why ask volume so low? (compared to bids) people oversold or just the bid volume increased so much?
posting ask/bid on orderbook is posting ad to buy/sell X volume on Y price nothing more nothing less Not exactly, it is more like offer What exactly is the difference between an ad and an offer? With an offer you are obligated to take transaction, with ad you can make an ad and won't sell Thanks. I see the distinction you are trying to draw now. |

Damned Americans!
Denmark: has 67 Tonnes in Bank of England and only 2-3 Tonnes in the US. Phew!!
I know, not much. Apparently it's loaned out at interest?? How can my county call it a reserve then?
Because they trust who they lent it to . |

is possible that some people are hoping see bitcoin in Mega ?
what is Mega? a magazine mega.co.nz It is the new MegaUpload that will be launched in a few days. some are; could be; maybe not; more likely in future That would be some Mega news and bullishnish though Indeed, if Bitcoin is used, get ready to say bye bye to 14.x and probably 15.x. |

The three ways are mastery of body, mind, and emotions. The fourth way is to cultivate all three.
Sure, master yourself. That's kind of the point.
