I think it is overall very positive. We have seen some brilliant ideas executed what you can do with bitcoin very poorly.
Now we will see a mediocre idea executed with tons of capital - i suspect it will be a greater success as most of you imagine.

FYI: main domain seems to be working right now.

really? id say this is a very bad moment to go short. the 22k coins from 5.2 are gone now. i expect a short squeeze/rally

Get a phone with NFC.
i'd get a Samsung Galaxy Nexus i9250 -android 4 -nfc -amoled

a very interesting future method of transaction proppagation could be NFC. i think it would be very interesting to use nfc bidirectionally to exchange both payment addresses and also signed transactions. this would enable the customer to pay with 0-conf without having any internet connection and the merchant could optionally have a net connection to still be able to detect double-spends.
this sounds now very obvious to me - has this maybe been discussed before?

great segway!
q:ok, lets talk about mintchip, tell me about it. a:bitcoin is the future.

Anyone have an idea of a TEM / BTC price?
Since TEM is pegged to EUR.. same as EUR. atm 3.9 EUR/BTC

I'd vote for option 2 and keep default installation language English. i don't particularly like my German translation - its correct but it just does not fit very well.

sounds great! one suggestion: you should keep the barrier to entry extremely low.
-consider making usernames optional, just require a deposit and maybe a return address (if funds are not fully spent) -pop-up windows are not really great. i would go for in-place DOM manipulation via JS or plain'ol redirect pages. most modern browsers block popups. -if the user does not have a funded account present him a qr code/deposit address directly for direct tipping without account, optionally settings to withhold a certain amount for later.

for example, if you are in a restaurant and have already consumed your meal, your are in debt and by legal tender laws he is required to accept it.
|

there are many interesting ideas in this new protocol. currently reading it. i wonder, is there already a working prototype out there as open source for testing?
|
|
|
People have no EUR because of too much debt? give them a 300 EUR loan and tell them its not really EUR its now called TEM! that will fix the economy.
ok, i'm half-joking here because its an intrest-free loan which only circulates locally. maybe it helps some people to get food on the table for some time.

the word "backed" is misunderstood most of the time..
a gold standard currency.. backed by gold. is gold backed by anything?
a fiat currency.. is it backed by nothing? no, it is backed by trust from the users, the obligation to pay taxes in it and sometimes soldiers firing at you if you sell your wares (f.ex. oil) for anything else.
so bitcoins are not only backed by trust from the bitcoin community, but also by the open source software, the cryptography behind it, the infrastructure and the utility function as a means of exchange (unlike gold).

Now, what would be really cool is to create a new currency that works similar to bitcoin, but where the work needed to bring it into existence is somehow connected to gameplay on the server.
IMO, the most ovious thing would be to have the game client or server act as a bitcoin wallet per player, and keeping track of them. using libbitcoin or bitcoinJ this should be fairly trivial.
