Jag har ett pågående ärende om förhandsbesked hos Skatterättsnämnden gällande moms på Bitcoin och hoppas på ett beslut nu under april. Jag meddelar när jag vet mer.

Jag blev i helgen intervjuad i programmet Tamburen på Göteborgs studentradio. Programmet finns som podcast här och inslaget om pengar börjar vid ca 15:35. Det är först en intervju med en nationalekonom och sedan kommer jag in. |

Also, Bitcoin Foundation pays Gavin in Bitcoin I believe.

We should have new forum software finally up today. that should fix the issue.
When you say "new", do you mean an updated version of phpbb, or are you actually switching platforms altogether? was mentioned in some thread, I believe that's what they'll use. |

I still like milliBits, I am going to abreviate them mB from now on. Who is with me?
The USD currently sells for about 10.5 mB.
Yeah, I like mB a lot better than mBTC too. Putting a prefix in front of the currency code always looked awkward to me, I've never seen that for other currencies. |

Verkligen tråkigt att höra Jim. Hoppas allt löser sig på ett bra sätt.

XRP aren't an asset as Bitcoin, their main function is to avoid spam on the network. Regardless of their original purpose it seems to me that they have the all necessary properties to be an asset like Bitcoin. I won't be surprised if there will be the possibility to have more than 100 billion XRP in the future if they are needed. Is this pure speculation or is there some reasoning behind it? I thought that the number of existing XRP would be in the "genesis ledger" and not possible to change just like that. |

I still think that you overreact a lot when saying that is has "MAJOR problems" Did you know that there is a hard limit of only 500 million accounts? No, I didn't. And I don't think that you know that either since, as you pointed out, not all details are explained. It's just that my initial reaction to this is not to start alarming topics but to ask them to clarify things. They are Bitcoiners you know, they are around for questions. |

Yeah, well, it doesn't contain "every intricate detail" and it isn't "enough information to produce a competing implementation". I disagree. There's enough there to where you can create your own client that functions similarly to Bitcoin. It might not have binary compatibility (i.e. the messages passed between peers may not be compatible, and the format of the blocks would probably be different). But all of the "difficult" problems are explained in the paper and this is the guts of Bitcoin. Compare this with Ripple, where every "difficult" problem is just swept under the rug with a non-explanation in the wiki. OK, I get your point. I still think that you overreact a lot when saying that is has "MAJOR problems" (or as in the original subject "flawed implementation"). So yes, don't put all your money on Ripple right now. Wait for a bit, make sure that they release the code as promised, ask questions about the protocol and have them update the wiki. |

If you wanna make a fair comparison you should compare it to how complete the documentation of Bitcoin was in 2009. Agreed. Here's the original paper, published in 2008: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash SystemEvery revolutionary idea is explained, along with an analysis. This is completely absent for Ripple. Yeah, well, it doesn't contain "every intricate detail" and it isn't "enough information to produce a competing implementation". |

Yeah nice job stating the obvious. Bitcoin is also in beta and yet we know about every intricate detail. If you wanna make a fair comparison you should compare it to how complete the documentation of Bitcoin was in 2009. |

New version! Added French, Italian, Russian, Czech, Croatian, Latvian, Dutch and Finnish. Thanks again to all translators! If you wanna link directly to a translated version, use this syntax: http://accept.bitcoin.se?culture=sv (replace "sv" with your language code). For the next version ( preview here) I'll make the private part of the page cleaner and with clearer warnings. But it also means that I need a few more strings translated in all languages, so anyone who wants to help, please quote this message and replace the following in your language. "privatekeywarning" : "CAUTION! Keep this private! Anyone who has this key can spend your money!"
"checkingbalancetitle" : "How do I check my balance?",
"checkingbalancetext" : "To see the balance of your address, search for it on <a href='http://www.blockchain.info'>www.blockchain.info</a> (the address is the one on the upper part of the print out, <b>don't</b> confuse it with the private key!). You can copy-paste it from here and bookmark the result page for easy access later.",
You can be creative with the warning text, just don't make it much longer than the English one as I want it to fit on one line.

Great news! I will write about this on bitcoin.se to hopefully bring you some new customers. |

One suggestion: Say something next to the private key like "KEEP THIS PRIVATE - ANYONE WHO HAS THIS CAN SPEND YOUR MONEY". Preferably in red bold text  Yes. That is the idea. Just a suggestion but I would keep the secret/private area as simple as possible. Something to indicate it should be cut and seperated, a warning, and the key itself. The more there is there (like how to check the balance) the more likely a novice won't quite understand the important of the private key. Yeah, that makes sense. I'll make some changes in the next update so that the "private area" has less text and more distinct warnings. |

Finally found the time to add some translations. The ones that have been added so far (German, Spanish, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese and Slovak) are the ones that worked right away using copy-paste and that didn't screw up the layout too much. I will add the other ones soon. Please let me know if there is some crappy translation in there (I don't want any automatically translated stuff).
Thanks to everyone who has helped with translations!

You may wish to add some extra warnings just below the divider. Yes you did indicate the private key is used to access the money but honestly I could see someone printing the entire thing out and passing it around (dishonest person scans the private key). Also it might be a good idea for the portion below the divider to ONLY have the private key. Despite your warning I could see people sharing the private key to check the funds (for example you need your ATM PIN in order to check your ATM balance). Something like ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[scissor icon] Cut here and keep the secret key below secure.
CAUTION: Treat this portion like you would cash or gold. Anyone who has access to this key can spend your funds, instantly from anywhere in the world. If this key is lost any donated funds are lost forever.
Thanks for the suggestions! So when you say "for the portion below the divider to ONLY have the private key", do you mean that I should remove the "If you want to check the current balance..." part as well as the QR code? The portion below the divider would then be these 3 things: * [scissor icon] Cut here and keep the secret key below secure. * "CAUTION: Treat this portion like you would cash or gold..." * Private key (wallet import format) Alternative you may wish to change this into 3 separate pages.
1) Basic instructions (use some nice icons & diagrams).
2) The donate print out
3) The secret key page (w/ plenty of warnings, recommendations make a copy, keep it safe, lock it up, etc)
Yeah, that's an option to consider. For now I'll stick with the one page though, I really like the simplicity of it. One print button and a single page being printed. No risk that someone would print the public key and somehow forget about the private key. |
