Still, it's a little hard to see... I would prefer a hover over with 3 lines: In: B Xx.xxxxX Out: B X.xxxxxx Bal: B X. XXXX And for firefox. You've earned half the bounty if you can provide that (other half was for mobile app). I think it's something really handy so if you provide your address I'll promote it for you though and ask for donations!  |

It might still collapse sentences if the line is full of text and the address is on the end no?

Hey Chris, Cool stuff. I checked it out. ALMOST there - I would just make it a nice looking hover over instead of something that replaces the text. Also preferably if you could make it work with Firefox cause that's what I'm using |

You guys were wrong.. apparently it's "I am not Dorian Nakamoto."

I think you're over-thinking my initial request. This browser add-in would be to check the balance of any address the user sees on web pages.
Currently, you have to
a. Highlight the address, copy
b. Open new tab
c. Navigate to blockchain.info
d. Paste address
e. Look at 'received', 'sent', 'final balance' fields
I'd like it to be:
a. Highlight or just right click on the address, "check balance"
b. Look at 'received', 'sent', 'final balance', fields via a mini-pop-up or even a hovered-over pop-up without having to right click on the address at all!

Not exactly what I'm talking about.
From a browser perspective, the user could just highlight the balance, right click, click 'Check Balance' and it would show
"Total Received: BTCX.XXXXX"
"Total Sent: BTCX.XXXX"
"Final Balance: BTCX.XXXX"
Without having to go to any new tabs or websites. The data could be pulled from bc.info.
Would be even cooler if the add-in recognized text-btc addresses and you can just over over them to see their respective balances.
For a mobile app - it would be a simple QR code scanner that you could launch with a shortcut on your home screen, and would display the same information as above.

As more and more people post their 'HI MOM SEND BTC' QR codes, I grow ever more curious to see how many donations they actually managed to get. Same thing with addresses posted in text on websites. I am sure I'm not the only one. With that in mind, can someone please make a free browser add-in and mobile app that I can easily check bitcoin balances with? It should be incredibly simple since you can just link straight the appropriate blockchain.info URL. Anyone else interested in seeing something like this? We can start a bounty: 1Hy34nTa54QwGNycCfwBKs6Yp8f719uux3I will pitch 0.10 BTC for this to start it off. Edit: BitBox looks like something else on top of this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=561711.0 Here's their version. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bitbox/bcjdjalcfgbmbmdajpbbaboikhhlobkc |

The reason for starting a new using bitcoin is simple:
We can assume that 50% of all bitcoins mined are either held by wrong persons, or are lost. It works.
A lot of people are burned by the MtGox theft, therefore they have nothing to lose on switching to a new coin learned a valuable lesson.
If we start to use a new coin Bitcoin more as a currency, the miners can use their hardware to switch over as well secure the network, and effectively abandoning Old making Bitcoin a huge success.
The value of Old Bitcoin will drop to zero skyrocket which will punish preminers, thieves and FBI benefit everybody.
FIFY Love this. |

An economics professor once told me, "Once a commodity always a commodity."
Bitcoin's price will always be = some amount of USD, and as long as USD is bigger (is and most likely will be always), it'll essentially be a digital gold/store of value, that you can use as a payment mechanism.
You will have companies paying for everything in bitcoin, including salaries, but those salaries and what they pay for will still be = to what they're worth in USD.
This may change in 20, 40, maybe 100 years but we're nowhere near that.

Another scam, nothing to see here. Mods please delete.

Is there a mobile app that has a geo-location of anyone selling BTC? I'm thinking that, combined with a 'drop' method or even a hired random escrow (who could use the app and get paid a commission with reputation) could make it as anonymous as it gets.

Do I smell regulation and centralization in this thread?

Smells bad.

Imma have to stop you right there. 1. The magnitude of this has caught a lot of the community off guard I have to say that the real 'community', aka frequent visitors to this forum and the subreddit saw this coming MONTHS ago and this was all generally expected. I myself pulled out my 5 BTC from btc-e recently @ $750 and planning to buy back in shortly. I am not a professional trader at all and to me this seemed like the obvious thing to do... 2. ...re-branded as "Gox". This is a big positive for our community,... No. Gox needs to die. Mark may be the most incompetent CEO but he's not the one who programmed their systems. He's also not the one that sends out confusing and piss-poor excuse of 'customer support'. He's also not the one who handles the interaction between authorities and banks. Their whole team is useless and needs to die in a fire together so we can move on as 'a community'. I am SURE there are angels and intelligent being somewhere in there, and I would shield them and herd them away from the other gox taint. As for their 'profitable business', that profit and surplus will be picked up by competent exchanges. There is no 'loss' to the community at all. 3. That document has not been officially validated. To me, it's just some random doc someone drafted up with maybe one page and one fact being real (maybe). ----------- The other stuff I actually agree with you on. Carry on preaching. |

Why do you even care? Make up your own mind who you think is "credible" and who you trust. If some group calls themselves the "Bitcoin Foundation" says something - why do you care if it's any different than "Mr. Bitcoin God"? If they failed you or you disagree, don't listen to them.
Just like if a new bitcoin client is released and you don't like or agree with the changes - stay on the old one and mine your own fork, hope that others agree.

I know technically the box is just sitting there and the bar owner isn't getting involved, but that's probably not the way the feds would see it. To them it would look more like a "drop" secret agents and such use. The main theme which seems to come from FinCEN is that exchanging or use of virtual currency is basically fine when done for private usage only. As soon as it becomes part of a business which serves multiple parties for direct transfer, it qualifies as money transmission.
Well it WOULD be for 'private use'. That's the point of the box. What if the bar owner didn't make anything out of it? They would use it because maybe they themselves sell/buy bitcoin, or just believe in bitcoin in general? I'm sure there will be takers. Technically the 'site' would be very low-margin as well, maybe like 1% at the most, similar to localbitcoins, to help offset purchases of the box machines, as well as running the websites. Not really a profit deal, hence why I'm discussing the idea here in the open. |

I think they turned it off as it was getting inaccurate.. But yea they have the 'verification' ability, they have it turned off in BC AFAIK. Either way, this is Canada which is obviously easier to work with, and I have no doubt that I would launch here. But the large market is in the states, which is the topic of this discussion.
Need something that's relatively unpractical to enforce, with a contested 'legal' status...

The guys in Florida I understand only got arrested/fined because the undercover cop specifically told them he was going to use the bitcoins to buy stolen credit cards online. If the cop didn't say that, they probably would've walked free no? What prevents me from going to my local convenience store and spending cash I earned from drug-money? It may be ILLEGAL but not very practical to enforce. I'm not planning on hiring lawyers or getting the correct licenses, I want to create a workaround that MAY be illegal (not IS), but is an elegant, unenforceable method. Bitcoin is a whole is somewhat like that if you think about it - Satoshi didn't care about legal/illegal, he just created something that works and also happens to be practically difficult to enforce. I wasn't aware that any country allowed ATM machines to print its national currency. ATMs normally only dispense notes printed by by a national mint.
The Robocoin ATM is capable of printing out cash for your bitcoins, and does so in Vancouver WITHOUT ID verification I might add! Btw, thank you for the good answer BCB, much appreciated! |
