The Rally #3 could start if we make it easier for "Joe Average" to buy them. There are many threads about it, but I do not see a lot of concrete plans?
Can someone summarize what the status is?
Perhaps it makes sense to open a separate thread only for this: "How to make it easy to buy bitcoins for the average person"
What do you think?
They are concrete plans in the sense that there are bitcoiners who are willing to put their bitcoin where their mouth is. That is, if you're referring to the android and the chrome bounties. Despite the bounty, there seem to be a chronic lack of manpower in a place where hackers are supposed to be plenty. |

Why are you sold on bitcoins?
Here's my story. An open source gaming of mine link to bitcoin to a thread. I checked it out, then I immediately realize its potential for agorism. I was sold right there.
I never heard of the idea called cryptocurrency though I was vaguely aware of crypto-anarchism. I thought about digital money but concluded that they will never work in practice because there's no way to render them truly scarce.

You'll have to compete with biddingpond, the first bitcoin auction site. Think you can do it?

Latest trade information is hard to read. Change it to darker color. |

I'm with BrightAnarchist in putting Bitcoin as the single most important development. You can raise children peacefully and lovingly but they can still become the moral police, religious fundamentalists, hardcore nationalists, etc. Humans are weak by nature and will cling to any gods they can find, no matter how good their childhoods were. Also, profits from this strategy would take generations to be felt. As for seasteading, it only takes for the US to get together with Europe and China and decide that they need to liberate us from liberty for it to be all over.
On the other hand, Bitcoin has the potential to destroy every single government on Earth if implemented on a massive scale, and never give a chance for them to return. There would be no more asking people nicely to give you liberty, you would be able to just take it. I'd go as far as call that scenario the next stage of human civilization.
In other words, an exists that nobody in the world can close. They might thought that they could close the door, but it is moot. Well, maybe. We don't know if bitcoin succeed or will not succeed. One thing for certain, the power that may be will have to give at some point. |

I dislike the idea of hiding it, plus it can be phrased in way that doesn't seem all that bad.
"You can make transaction goes faster by paying a fee so that people will want to process yours ahead of everyone else. Pay higher, the higher priority."
|
|
|
|
|
Most transaction are free, but you can make it go faster by paying transaction fees.
|
|
|
|
|
"Digital commodity" down below contradicts the first paragraph.
|
|
|
|
|
Also, can you please automatically calculate the fee?
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of saying there are no transaction fee, you should say "Transaction fee are OPTIONAL. Sending bitcoins can be as free as sending an email. If you want your transaction done faster, you can DETERMINE any price you're willing to pay. The higher the faster."

The proposal phrase in the BMAA fivegrinder group is 27 years. WTF?
Also, how do you get funds distributed? I was forced to donate 17.5 BTC of my own money to the CCC because the proposal somehow failed to have an effect on the treasury.

Today's progress: I stripped the CSS bare and rewrote all my pages using the templating language HAML. It was a lot of work.

Sometime, there is no display. Sometime, the chart is displayed. Sometime, there is no data in the chart.
