Internet goods and services are an obvious fit, software, design, hosting, etc.

There doesn't seem to be a way to browse files on bitcoinservice. Can we get a direct link?

Oh, I thought there was another one, but then I thought I was wrong because I didn't see it on the trade page.

Can't you set your own price at one of those bitcoin file download sites? I'll try to find a link. I enjoyed the first chapter.

Pastecoin.com seems to be down. AndI think Ubitious has a fixed fee still. Maybe no good solution yet.

I am not affiliated with this site in any way. I just came across it in my google alert.

Clearly accepts bitcoin, even has it in the top menu bar.

The log attaches but will not post.

Or maybe it would scare some life back into the populace.

Bitcoin was working fine, I restarted, Bitcoin auto opened, and crashed. I opened it again, crashed again, I reinstalled, crashes every time. I uninstalled and installed again, no good. Everything else seems to work fine. I can't think of any cause. The only major thing I've done recently was install Ubuntu, but that was 2-3 days ago and it worked fine after that, and it shouldn't matter anyway.

I have to sleep soon, but I appreciate any suggestions of what to try and I'm curious about what caused this.

edit: It crashes really fast, if that matters. And it says "bitcoin.exe has stopped working" and "close the program" button.

edit again: I uninstalled, restarted and reinstalled and it works now. Has this happened to anyone else?

That's a good point.

The humans could unintentionally (or intentionally I guess) collude by having more info about each others likely holdings and future actions than the computer could.

But once the computer gets an eye they're screwed because the reading will be going one way only. But, like you said, that's probably far off yet.

This is as general a question as "How will people resolve conflicts and make the world better?". It's a really really hard question to answer and anyone trying is doing it wrong. Every specific little issue is hard, it will best be answered by the people who know about it and care about making it work or making it better. All I'm saying is that force is not the answer to any of these problems. I don't have one millionth the hubris required to give a blanket solution to all the problems humans face now and in the future. The people with the armies police and nukes unfortunately seem to have unlimited hubris.

And don't forget that the current situation is that we do have governments and the corporations are not playing nice. The solution of "Corporations get to use the airwaves and if I try I get hurt" is not playing nice. Neither is "This guy can have a farm that leaks waste because he paid us and if you have a farm that doesn't pollute I'm going to put you in jail".

So it isn't like these problems have been solved and I'm talking about unsolving them. I'm suggesting that we start looking for real solutions instead of the psudo-solution of "Put 2 million people in prison and threaten everyone else over and over with 100000 laws"

I haven't figured out exactly how it works, the samples I'm seeing have things like "Fox sale" as what you type in, isn't that going to be very vulnerable to someone learning the small set of things that can come up? I assumed it was going to be a combo like "Dominoes 34ui4".

I want to clarify, I have no love for any corporation that makes deals with government, which happens to be all of them afaik.

You can think of my position as wishing to disarm corporations of their weapon, the government. So they can focus on the good they do, which is bringing me and my family things. And without government any that don't satisfy needs will simply fade away.

I gotta say, adCaptcha sounds brilliant.

It's so easy to implement that it is going to happen. It'll be a better experiment than the dollar because only one simple variable will be changed.

I think the split network concerns are unjustified, bitcoiners aren't going to bail en mass. Some new people will try Timecoin and see very few people accepting them as payment and a ridiculously low exchange rate to BTC and decide to switch to Bitcoin, and now we have a stronger network. It will be a temporary thing, unless it actually has some economic merit.

Nice. Is there an easy place to see the total unique nodes ever identified?

That's awesome. I'm watching the show with Yehonathan and Lyrik right now.

It'll be 5AM here so I probably won't be able to watch live, but I'll see it afterwards for sure.

My suggestion was not to act as a backup but to have old address that you have set up (a static donation address, permanently associated with accounts etc) go automatically to the bitcoinbank. Plus if you lost contact with the site you could use your copy of the wallet to spend.

They could let you upload a wallet file and spend from that. Then you could lock away your own copy as your own backup so you don't have to trust them solely. This could also allow someone to maintain the same addresses through a transition from holding themselves to letting the bank manage it, which might be useful for some business.

I am absolutely not going to do what I described.

But can you tell me which site has the 'correct' exchange rate?

Even playing live facial cues are not going to matter when playing against a computer.
