Considering the amount of free porn on the net, why ask for more?

I was more thinking they might want to open a website and either sell access, or sell ad space. Anyone paying "what you ask" for amateur porn deserves what they get.

Out of interest, what on Earth do you want to do with these?
Out of interest, would you require copyright to be handed over?

(Out of interest, because I have no interest in handing over any such material, for any price.)

Developer rather than designer. I.e. my principle skill is PHP. However, I know enough CSS to possibly do what you want. I don't actually have a design portfolio online.

I'd rather not commit to anything at the moment until I've had a chance to look over the site.
504  Economy / Marketplace / Re: CSS Help Wanted on: March 07, 2011, 11:48:54 AM
Hi there. A link to the site would be good.

Also, more details of what sort of changes you would like to see done. I'm not a designer, but I can certainly make things look prettier.

As I really haven't used BitCoin at all for anything, I'm willing to give you a really cheap rate of three (3) bitcoins an hour (normal rate is $40 or there abouts). If you are interested, please post again, and I'll PM you if I'm still interested after seeing the site.

What do you ban when bitcoin itself becomes illegal?

I can generate something like ~500 khash/s (depending on how much I'm using the computer), using either a miner, or the default client.

The website given earlier suggests it'll take me at least 1791 days to have a 50% chance of getting a block. Being part of a mining coop has generated some small amounts, but I don't think it's likely to be worth it at all.

Thoughts

The thing is, I don't give a fuck about corporations or rich bastards. And so am happy to coerce them into following their own legal system.

Also, the fact is that corporations and rich bastards coerce me all the time. They get to use the state to do it, so when it comes to them, I'm not going to back down.

On another note, related to your post. Why not link to http://unlicense.org/ ? That would make it clearer that you are part of a broader movement. (That's something that I came across today, while looking for bitcoin related PHP stuff.)
510  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why I Unlicense on: February 07, 2011, 09:55:12 AM
Three reasons.

1) I like that people credit me, and well, I want to be able to be able threaten corporations with their own laws if they don't.
2) I like copyleft (and use it for some of my stuff, particularly larger programs - I often also make use of copyleft work, which requires that the work I build upon it also be copyleft), and so, same reason as above.

Well, actually that's only two reasons. But seriously, I'm a big supporter of Free Culture, and I think that both copyleft, and attribution (requiring the original location of the work (in the form of a web address in most cases)), can contribute to this more than so called "unlicensed" work.

In your case, if you say, "do whatever you want with any of my stuff", there is nothing to prevent corporations form locking up your work, and preventing others from using it (well, unless they get it from the original source). Of course, the same applies for things I do, but at least I have some legal threats if I catch 'em doing it.

Not all countries recognise such a thing as "Public Domain", which is why it might be better to say more explicitly, "Public Domain, or the equivalent legal concept", or, indeed, just say explicitly, "do what the fuck you want!".

Personally, I wouldn't be doing what you are doing, but I love that you are up for it. I think that in this capitalist world, laying legal claim on my work (even if I say, go, do what you want, just credit me), is important. And, actually, often I also copyleft my stuff, so that it remains in the free culture. That's important too I think.

It is the Chinese character for "left" and, so means "left" in both Japanese and Chinese.

At the moment there are few people using the service. But then again, there are so few people using Bitcoin as well. The point is, that as/if bitcoin takes off, there already exists an anonymous payment gateway. And there is nothing stopping more from springing up. The trouble with the two services you mention, is, I believe, that they keep logs, and are not explicitly designed to "launder" bitcoins (as it were).

I love am writing a short SF story which involves digital nomads and digital currency. Considering no one has, so far, come up with anonymous digital cash of the sort that can be transfered between individuals without an intermediary, bitcoins with a decentralised net of anonymous payment gateways is the next best thing that I can find.

Sure there are plenty of anonymous payment systems, but as far as I can tell, they require an intermediary server which is generally controlled by one actor (as, indeed, is the entire payment system).

My reading of Wikipedia suggests that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_signature might be relevant, but I'm not a mathematician (or a doctor).

Yes indeed.

Anyway, As I kept browsing the forums, I came across the BitLaundry, which looks like what I described!

The second way is for an external service to take the coins of many different people, mix them up, and send similar amounts back to those peoples' addresses. If the mixer keeps no logs of who gets which coins, any investigation must stop here.

I setup bitcoin just yesterday. But had been thinking about it for a while. Particularly I had an issue with each coin containing it's own transaction history.
I was thinking about anonymous payment gateways, and came up with the idea of having external services that can forward payments for you. So, Aleph wants to pay Bravo some coin, but doesn't want Bravo to know where the money is coming from, and doesn't want Gerry (the government) to know where the money is coming from, or going. So, Aleph sends the money to Cent (external server). Cent has received money from various other users in the past, and so has a stack of coins from various people. Cent randomly selects from these coins the appropriate number and forwards these on to Bravo. Cent never keeps logs, and so has no record of who sent money to Cent, or where Cent subsequently sent that money to.

Anonymous payment gateway.

Now, to my thinking, the most trusted of these would be the ones that were run by community groups such as EFF, or on darknets, or similar. But, there is nothing to say that commercial operations could exist that would take a percentage, or a slice of every payment.

My first post, I don't think I repeated what anyone else has said.
