To provide a currency system, based online, that eliminates the need to trust a 3rd party or "middle man" to produce the currency or conduct transactions.

This is interesting - any cost to join? Any drink specials? Any food specials?

Have fun and thanks for the notice!

More like f*cking a Ukranian hooker...or looker!

She doesn't say much about Bitcoin, it's more about the types of dudes she likes...this thread should be deleted.

Highest percentage of what? Percentage of actual people mining or percentage of the mining effort?

My guess is also China. It's a very cheap place to conduct large mining operations and is relatively unregulated. You should ask this question over in the mining board of this forum.

What's your biggest hope?

Mine? Steady adoption but not so much that it leads those in power to see bitcoin as something that should be controlled and manipulated.

Not much opinion here, so what do you think? Maybe that will help generate a discussion...

Yobit, but Youbit pays DUST!

You'd be better off using the Moonbit.co.in faucet (see a link in my profile).

"used to allow this" is the key phrase. They don't allow it anymore...therefore the history is kind of irrelevant to the OPs question. I wonder if the OP ever found their way to two campaigns?

Well you may be true about the eminent domain part but the value of property and buildings on property does increase so it's more than just a utility or rent value. There's equity too. And I don't even think bitcoin is the only true asset you can own because guess what happens when the electricity goes out - your bitcoin goes bye bye, disappears with the light from the light bulb.

It takes a lot of trust for this system, although no more than it takes for the fiat system!

I'm in...i'll answer all the questions you need for a mere BTC0.05 per answer.

Send them my way and I'll respond in any format you prefer.

What war on cash?

First, comparing bills equal to $1000 or $500 is very different from the $100 bill.

Second, if inflation increases we'll only need higher denomination bills.

It all bodes well for bitcoin, which provides the anonymity and ease of cash.

The future adoption (or lack thereof). There are huge strides being made but it's hard to pull myself away from what seems like minimal day to day change in interest and adoption.

Let's make sure we're giving credit where it's due. The course is offered by the Princeton University (yes, Princeton). Coursera plays a huge role in making it free and Princeton is the caliber of the education...pretty sweet.

Similar courses are offered by Stanford and MIT, but those aren't free! 

Yeah, start at the source, Satoshi's white paper: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Congrats, and welcome to the Forum!

The cool thing about Bitcoin is that bitcoin is as legit as long as transactions are hitting the blockchain. Like any currency that's not linked to a tangible asset, it's the belief of a collective group of people that the currency and system has value that actually gives it its value. And of course it doesn't hurt to know that bitcoin can't be just manufactured, counterfeit by anyone.

Have you gotten into bitcoin faucets yet? There's a link in my profile to my favorite faucet...and if you open a wallet with Xapo.com this faucet will send payments directly to it.

What have you learned this week?

Cheers.

I'd try Xapo - based out of Switzerland. Or you could try Circle or Coinbase (although I don't know if Coinbase operates in Ireland).

Good luck to you.

Of course, it was never illegal!

How are you going to mandate that retailers selling your product accept Bitcoin? I feel like you may not understand how this all works (or you haven't given us all the details).

Your one product out of a thousand at Whole Foods can't force Whole Foods to accept bitcoin.

Don't get me wrong, any endorsement of bitcoin is great, but you still can't influence the payment method if you're coming at it from a product development/product creator role.

They're effective for me but I don't own Playtodos.com...

Seriously though, there have been several campaigns that have ended (e.g., Primedice, CryptoVPN, DaDice) and cited a saturated market or too much expense for the benefit of advertising via signature ads.

Don't be worried about the campaign's effectiveness - these business owners know what they're doing. And when it doesn't work they're not going to wast their time paying people to advertise.

LiteCoinGuy, you work for 21?

What's the expected ROI (in time) on this $400 machine. And don't tell me "well that depends on...", of course it depends on a lot of things, but any company that wants to sell something will do the assumptions for us and let us know how quickly this machine brings home the profit!
