maybe i should make myself clearer:

bitcoin should not be a standalone application alone but would profit from being
integrated into collaborative environments.

Let me get this straight. The 'killer app' you're telling everyone about (which by the way, if it's a killer app, you should develop it, not tell everyone about it) is to use Bitcoin with other things? Where have you been? We're already embedding bitcoind into devices here.



Great, devices, I like that. What about into other software - or even better - the softwares that have future because they themselfs are inovations.

I am no programmer - I am a medic - like it or hate it. And get as straight with me as you possibly can.

Thank you.

Please move this post if it is in the wrong section

Here is a concept video exploring one possible future user experience for the Web, created by Adaptive Path as part of the Mozilla Labs concept series.

I watched it and was amazed

And then i wondered what it would be like if bitcoin could be coded into this user environment.

what do you guys think?

445  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the best strategy for a someone who is both a believer and a bear? on: November 22, 2011, 06:24:24 PM
To keep it simple:
1.Do not buy on exchanges until your believe supports the price.
2.Help by offering more/better services to the community.
3.Inform more people about bitcoins benefits.
4. If you want to buy anything try to source it from a bitcoin accepting trader.

I think the calm of the market the last 24 hours has been very strange to say the least. There has been very little actiivty in the way of up or down but we have slowly been trending upwards. The rapid swings of the previous week are much easier to make more bitcoins on lol. Either way I am expecting something big to happen in the next 24 hours.

There are always periods of stagnancy after big drops.  Then it's usually followed by another big drop.  

Exactly, I was going to say the same. This is typical slow up before the next drop. 3 was the last resistance, now we are down to 2.3. One thing you can count on is bitcoin value dropping. It has never let me down since the drop from $30. No matter how much I even thought it would rise.

YOu guys still fail to understand the weak fundamentals of bitcoin if you think we will rise. The only thing keeping a total collapse is the manipulator setting up his huge walls.
'

If for no other reason than the $14k per day of electricity wasted, I agree.

Bitcoin needs a 'reset' point, where purpose built, structured ASICs are the bulk of network power. There seems to be a very large divergence between Speculators and Miners, and it clearly hasn't dawned on many of you bulls that, the higher the price of Bitcoin, the more you're spending to generate each block.

With no common use, you're just speculating on an abstraction. IN fact, for many of you it would be just as easy to bet back and forth using a completely fictitious currency that you never take delivery of. Virtually none of you actually use Bitcoin as a medium of exchange to purchase goods an services. Instead, you applaud new market entries, products and services available for Bitcoin, but virtually all of you fail to bother to support the very currency that you're so fixated on.

Do you hear that huge sucking sound? That's the outflow of dollars every single day from Miners liquidating 6000+ coins just to cover their massive electric bills. Every day the long term potential of Bitcoin goes down. There are way too many GPUs block mining. If you believe that the network will be less secure at 50% or even 30% of current network power, you need to do more research.

Bitcoin needs to go to $0.5, or possibly lower, and the vast majority of GPU miners need to be pushed out. With a reset point, and FPGA + Structured ASIC development, at least there's a point where, even at $0.5 - $1 or higher that NEWER (non GPU) miners can expect some return, and the outflow of cash from the network to pay utility bills will be 1/40th of what it is today.

GPU mining is one of the reasons we're in this situation. Push the price lower, and bankrupt the majority of miners. It has to happen.

Oh yes yes bankrupt the miners - oh wait I mine.

I agree with the rest of the post.

and the time you win by not sleeping is not lost again by thinking, writing, planning, posting, recording ....
about your progress?

As much as I appriciate reading about your progress I really wonder if this sleep schedule is supposed to
work without effort and easy why is there do people that adhere to it - not just adhere to it and thats it.
Kind of like vegetarians or gay folks.

448  Economy / Speculation / Re: How fast will bitcoin recover? on: November 21, 2011, 06:12:52 PM
As fast as people are willing to take more money to the exchanges
in relation to how fast you are not offering yours for sale at any price.

Directly or indirectly convince more people to do so.

Can anyone care to explain to me why you talk about fake-walls?

I can see myself that they are moving. Thats however could
a strategy change of someone who believes he can get a better deal.

But if at anypoint a early adopter sells the entire wall away
it would have been a real wall - or am i getting something wrong here?

i think this is an urban legend

besides wouldn't you need to sleep on job or be financial indebendent or work at home or something

maybe even have strange social habits to just go for a nap while everyone is awake and then be

quite alone during the nights where you will be sticking to your screen?Huh?

I do not understand people that are willing to sell at 1.8

I will not even sell at 2.5

While I welcome that we can proclaim its protection under First Amendment wouldn't we need a preceedens?

Knowing what you know about your federal government:
Do you think that not having constitutional authority really stop "them" from
making up a new "law" that allows them to do what they want, when they
want?

I am not American - I remember vaguely there was such a thing as the initiative process which allowed the people
to make their own laws. I think it got abolished.....

This is of course a pure speculation / but consider the facts. Microsoft has done research on Bitcoin, Microsoft would not do research unless some executive orders it. Is it not strange how timely close the Mircosoft research came out with new money recapitalization?

So I identify the crazy investor with Bill Gates or Steve Balmer. Unfortunately he has not invested enough quick enough so we have a price drop when one of the early adopters abandomed ship.

Guys,

 What about this:

 'Devastating' protocol flaw could paralyze Bitcoin system:
 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/15/bitcoin_flaw/ ?

Best,
Thiago

Honestly - i think what they propose is that you should get a reward for letting your client app running?
Reasoning is that if you don't get a reward for it why should you? And if your not online with your client
app the network is weak ...... 

To me this is anything but 'devastating' - more like a 'consultant' type buisnessperson said: We make it
more efficient so buy my solution or it is devastating for you.

458  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: What's a fair way to handle things if the goods don't show up? on: November 16, 2011, 10:36:44 AM
Imagine the following scenario on an eBay-like BTC site.

Seller lists item for sale on site.

Buyer purchases item and sends site BTC to hold in escrow.

A month passes, buyer complains the item didn't show up. Seller insists he sent it, but has no proof of dispatch.

What to do with funds in escrow?

What's a fair policy to handle this.

Weal .. no proof of dispatch? Then maybe no dispatch ? => Money back to buyer ?

Proof of dispatch ? => money to seller ?

No?

But the truth is the problem is far more complicated.

For example the  escrow can't know for example if the dispatched item is of the quality that it was portrayed in the listing. or even if the dispatched item is the item listed . The only real solution would be to dispatch it to thought the escrow which raises costs.

The answer is no escrow let people get burned and the genuine will raise to the top. 

+ reputation system

I ran into situations of distrust in the beginning of ebay,
ultimately everything went very nice and the lesson I learned
was to never risk more on a single transaction that you can stomach.

I'm counting on it.  I'm sure the after party will be just as entertaining.

When that day comes I invite you to a drink

Here we go again.

it looks to me like we slowly climb to 3.xx dollars Aaaaannnd PooF it falls, we slowly climb to 3.xx dollars Aaaaannnd PooF it gone,

this leads me to believe 1 by 1 the miners that were hording their coins see 3.xx$ as a good price to jump ship.

we will portly see this happen many times for the next few months.... 3.12 Aaaand Poof it falls.

$2 will be the new $3 soon enough.

you have been around since april, all posts I saw from you rallying against bitcoin. either you are really really bored or you have missed the opportunity to buy when prices were low and now are angry about that and want price to drop so you can buy in at the low price you missed before. or did you sell out too early?

at what price will you change strategy? at what price will you buy lots of bitcoins and start rallying pro btc?

if my theory is wrong please let me know why you keep on posting against bitcoin. I am sure a lot of other people are wondering, too.


I'm just making observations and hanging around to watch this thing die out.

Suit yourself and get very comfortable. You will be around longer than you might expect.
