Just finished reading the other 19 posts on page one, and I, too, am not a gamer but, in my mind's eye, this VR thingy, viz. the Oculus Rift device, WILL bring cryptocurrency mining to the next level. And to think the leap was made with only twenty previous posts on this forum. (edit: looks like OR has been discussed before)

Yes, I have a thought: OculusRiftCoin (ORC). Especially after reading the following: On December 12, 2013, Marc Andreessen joined the company's board when his firm Andreessen Horowitz led the $75 million Series B venture funding. No more mining via hashing! The only equipment needed is the headgear and a pool to mind to, after solo mining runs its course. Also, no pre-mining. More to come, for you won't believe who now owns oculusriftcoin.com (.co, .net, .biz, .info, and .org). ~TMI BTCITW |

Up to this point I had all you fuckers believing that I don't mine. Well, now that the goats' outta the pasture, who wants to buy a million dollars worth of GoatCoin from me via BTC, the most trusted member of the Bitcoin community? Note to self as to what to do with the bitcoin winfall: - Buy a villa in Alaska.
- Buy a fishing boat.
- Pledge, but don't send to NPOs.
- Buy
a goat two goats three goats a dozen goats a harem of goats, all nannies this time.

I'm not a programmer, but I envision a relatively simple program on some handheld device, i.e. smartphone, that would activate when a real transaction takes place at some physical location, i.e. M&B, sending two transactions semi-simultaneously to two different addresses, with the first one with the higher transfer fee (pre-programmed in) winning the race, thus the merchant losing.
Thoughts?
~TMIBTCITW
Possibly, but it would only work for merchants that process orders instantly with zero conformations and I doubt there are many of those. Also, it would be much simpler to use the method posted above, but then I guess the merchant could check that the transaction has a sufficient fee. Ergo, document and exploit the merchants that process orders instantly with zero conformations, albeit there might not be many of those, but then again... |

Huh? I don't get it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd-GbG2WmW0Josh stated in this video that BFL's going to try to get them in the $150 USD range. A couple/three weeks ago I PM'ed Josh expressing earnest interest that I would love to review this on my dime, offering up honest assessment from a geekless user. He replied that he would keep me abreast (paraphrased)... also, and that BFL is about Two Weeks TM out from having said device available. (insert shitty grin here) ~TMI BTCITW

What I mean is, I've heard it's possible to pretend to send bitcoins so it shows up on the blockchain as unconfirmed. How easy is to do this? What would it look like on the blockchain... just a transaction that never gets confirmed or what?
I'm just wondering if it means anything when I buy a bitcoin from someone and it "shows up" in my wallet immediately without confirmations. Is that any evidence that they actually sent real bitcoins or could those easily be faked?
Essentially you need to send the same bitcoins twice, once to the address you want to create a fake transaction to, and the other to another address of yours. The time between the transaction must be short and you must make the real transaction more desirable to the miners than the fake one, this is achieved by giving the real transaction a high transaction fee. But as said, the window of opportunity is small. Take a look at; https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Double-spendingEdit/ You could also use block withholding, if you had some computational grunt at your disposal. But the window of opportunity is still small. I'm not a programmer, but I envision a relatively simple program on some handheld device, i.e. smartphone, that would activate when a real transaction takes place at some physical location, i.e. M&B, sending two transactions semi-simultaneously to two different addresses, with the first one with the higher transfer fee (pre-programmed in) winning the race, thus the merchant losing.

Damn, I which this would've came out prior to me going with Overstock, for I could have used the tiger angle to go hand-in-hand with the bronco, seahawk and fox symbolisms. The only saving grace is that Overstock has Seattle Seahawks merchandise. |

Important update: I will have the banner produced locally, thus now only need a person who's planning on attending the Super Bowl to wave the damn thing like they have a hoard of locusts in their underwear. Surely, one of the 81K seats is going to be occupied by at least one Bitcoiner. Which one of you guys or gals is it? ~Bruno Kucinskas

As more companies accept Bitcoin payments, their competition are forced to follow suit or risk being left behind in the dust. The momentum builds upon itself so that each stage is far bigger than the last.
One of the latest to come on board: TigerDirect.
Bitcoin is on a roll. And it has only just begun.
Having just commissioned a local printer to craft the following into a banner, Bitcoin WILL be seen by 100M+ FOX viewers during the Super Bowl XLVIII game. The only thing left to do is to find a Bitcoiner that's planning on attending the game. ~TMI BTCITW |

I just posted the following on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1w1t6f/is_theymos_selling_bitcointalk/cey2ci6Good news! I can have the banner produced locally (why didn't I think of that before?) at a price point lower than it cost me to have the graphics made. The only thing left to do is to find a Bitcoiner who's attending the Super Bowl. With a seating capacity of 81K+, what are the odds? Ergo, I no longer seek a banner maker of which the bounty is no longer in place. ~Bruno Kucinskas |

I think that'd be awesome if they could get an ad for the Super Bowl. But think of the costs! It's so much for such a small amount of time but with that many people watching, it will be HUGE. I think they should go for it(if they still can), it's a gamble but will really get the name out there!  This has been beat to the ground since prior to last year's Super Bowl, hence going the route I'm taking via guerilla marketing. How about one of those clever signs that says FOX (it's on FOX this year, right?) but the letters are part of some bitcoin message?

eXplosion
Of course, something that makes any sort of sense.
I haven't forgotten about the FOX condition, and it WILL be incorporated into the physical banner alongside the image above (a couple posts). Meanwhile, I just tweeted Richard Sherman the following: https://twitter.com/Bitcoin100/status/426828654870421504Not so much seeking his approval, but to get his fan base excited about the prospects, with possibly bringing further awareness to Bitcoin. ~TMI BTCITW |

One last bit of midnight oil burning before I pack to leave for Miami From: Felipe L Hey Dmitry, I just found your website was was very excited to see your awesome offer to NPOs. I’m the Technical Director of a nonprofit called Nar-Anon ( www.nar-anon.org) and since I personally am a huge advocate of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, I added the ability to donate to the organization using Bitcoin on our webstore. I’m the only person in the organization that even knows what Bitcoin is. The Organization Director kind of smiled and nodded when I asked about implementing it, but I want to show her that it’s a great thing for us to accept it early on. Thanks so much and I hope to hear from you soon! The above is actually a summary of two e-mails (first and second paragraph were separate), and after the first e-mail I mentioned that Bitcoin100 doesn't really reward bitcoiners for being fans of bitcoin, but after the second, I'm not entirely sure how to go on this one, since he's not the owner of the charity. Comments/feedback? At the moment, they accept bitcoin donations the same way Richard Sherman accepts bitcoin payments--via Shopify: http://nar-anon-webstore.myshopify.com/cartVia Google search: First Post | Nar-Anon WebStore - Shopify
nar-anon-webstore.myshopify.com/blogs/news/7681071-first-post
Apr 11, 2013 - This is your store's blog. You can use it to talk about new product launches, experiences, tips or other news you want your customers to read ... Ergo, all Felipe did was add the following image on their donate page, coupled with a little text pertaining to Bitcoin, whereupon the http://nar-anon-webstore.myshopify.com/cart page is generated.  Shopify starting accepting bitcoin payments on Nov. 27, 2013, as seen below via Google. Shopify Merchants Can Now Accept Bitcoin — Ecommerce Blog by ...
www.shopify.com › Ecommerce Blog › Shopify Updates
by Mark Macdonald - in 38 Google+ circles
Nov 27, 2013 - We're pleased to announce that starting today, all of our 75000+ merchants can start accepting Bitcoin.Our new Bitcoin integration is available ... Here's our quagmire: If we endow Nar-anon, we'll have to endow ALL other NPOs that ask and use the Shopify eCommerce solution for donation and product payments. Unfortunately, this is shame, for I like Nar-anon. But, there could be a solution. Since Felipe is the CTO, I'm sure he'll have no problem convincing the director, Cathy K., to embed a standalone Bitcoin donation option button, of which redirects to our friends at BitPay, where there'll be no fees associated with the conversion to fiat deposited into Nar-anon's bank account unlike, I assume, being the case with Shopify. The same relative information would have to be given to BitPay as was given to Shopify when they set up their account there. Rassah, would you be so kind as to reply to Felipe, linking this post so that we can see what we can do together to endow their noble cause? One more thing: I've never adamantly expressed which payment provider an NPO should use, if any, but in this case, given the circumstances, I'm somewhat pushing the issue this time. I'm sure that Felipe would not have any concerns in this regard, but if he does, Bitcoin 100 looks forward to addressing them. ~Bruno Kucinskas |
