If I give you BTC.01 for chores and you hold for a year it could be worth BTC.1 or even BTC1 someday!  I guess it could teach some delayed gratification. I think "alien money" will be much more exciting when she needs to buy her first car or is going to college and we have enough to pay for it then! thats true and there is something magical about watching your balance increase. My bad. 0. 01 BTC cannot be worth .1 BTC. What I meant to say is 0.1 BTC is worth $1000 it's ok. you're a girl. my wife counts the same way. the more we spend on sales, the more we make! rofl oh god. "look its on sale, we save 4 dollars by buying this", "um no sweetie spend 10 dollars by buying this, we save money by not buying it"  |

Did you forget that Bitcoin isn't anonymous? Kinda defeats the point of Tor to de-anonymise it...
It's anonymizable. That's good enough. Not really. Someone perfect, with no interaction with the real world, might be able to use it anonymously. But nobody's perfect. I'm talking about coin mixing and then making payments directly from the mixing service. you could access the mixing service through slow tor. |

There is no "mess up" that can't be fixed baring a break in RIPEMD-160, SHA-256 and/or ECDSA. If that happens LiteCoin provides no protection because it uses the exact same primitives. The fact that it uses a different algorithm in mining will provide no protection from a cryptographic break.
I think what this analysis fails to recognize is that could mess up in a way that was not fundamentally destructive to bitcoin but the markets could incorrectly PERCEIVE that it was and lead to a massive crash. |

Litecoin isn't a "scam" and the fact that someone claims it so doesn't have any relevance on Bitcoin.
Litecoin simply lacks innovation and has no purpose. It is too much a copy of Bitcoin to every grow to anything rivaling its big brother.
If one day they mess up again and we can't fix it, LTC is all we have. that is a really good point. if i had thought of that myself maybe i would have bought some on this recent crash/dip/thing. |

you know what the best way is to teach her right? start paying her for chores around the house in bitcoin instead of fiat.
thats not gonna work, kids instantly cry or stop doing chores once they realise they cant instantly buy "hello kitty" socks or chocolate at walmart. lol no way. my daughter loves doing chores, honestly she tries so hard to help that shes constantly getting in my way when im trying to clean the house. the money i give her is just a bonus, she would do it anyway even with out any monetary compensation. also, omg adams so funny, your going to make me wake my wife up. |

actually it is technically possible to get the bitcoins back, by techinically i mean like the nsa could probably do it. this video will explain more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SSSMi4X_mA=t5m19sif the bitcoins are worth significantly more than the hard drive what you might consider is replacing the hard drive and putting that one away somwhere safe for 10 years and if bitcoins are worth 10,000 dollars each than it might be worth your trouble to recover the data at some point in the future. |

i just wanted to say I've been thinking about this for a while and i think its a really great idea.
also consider that you wouldn't necessarily need to use the internet. the if we had a real market in data transmission it would offer such good incentive for people to carry other peoples data that it could potentially be used to build a parallel internet with its own infrastructure provided by thousands of small entrepreneurs rather than giant ISP's.
I speak of course of meshnets. The market in data transmission would solve the sorts of load balancing problems that are causing scalability issues for meshnet researchers today. I have this theory that the reason meshnet researchers are unable to make scalable meshnets is precisely because they are computer scientists not economists and so they do not realize that this is an economics problem and not a computer science problem.

THANK YOU! Finally something worth reading. I just read the prolog and it made me cry. I have a 7 year old daughter in second grade and I already see the harm. We have already moved her from one school to another - not much better. We have already met teachers that we have had to "blacklist" - telling the pricipal that our daughter will never be allowed in these teacher's classroom again. We have had to take her out of a harmful reading program that she hated - and this was the so called TAG (talented and gifted) reading program. We have seen another kid in her class - a wonderful boy with a lot of energy and enthusiasm - get into a small fight with another boy. During the fight he managed to give the other boy a "wedgie" and for this he was labled a sexual predator and offender. His parents had to fight tooth and nail all the way to the highest levels of "management" to get the label removed from his school record. Once they are sure all mention of it has been removed then, and only then, will they feel safe in pulling him out of the school so they can home school him. I could go on for pages on this subject. This is only second grade!If we don't start home schooling I can't wait to see what happens in middle school now days. if you do decide to homeschool do check out https://www.khanacademy.org/ It's truly an amazing service and sal is such a great teacher. also look to see if you have a sudbury school in the area and if you do go check it out. |

That's pretty impressive. Is there a way to see how many times search terms involving the word Bitcoin were done, and the growth of this?

I think that Bitcoin is as big as I think it is - a $2B economy with >10K businesses and hundred of thousands of users. Based on data from http://www.similarweb.com/website/bitcointalk.org, it looks like the forum gets about 1M pageviews per day. Google:
how do I buy
look at what comes up
You do know that Google search results and autocomplete are targeted? If you look at Bitcoin all day, it will give you Bitcoin-related results... It has little to do with Bitcoin's popularity. Interesting because i dont look at stocks or houses. so i guess they weigh targeting against most common searches? Yes. well good im glad bitcoin isnt THAT popular. more room to grow. |
