Then donate directly to the project. Our goals are transparent and we have already delivered content to the community for free. You can contact the many fellows or read the hundreds of posts and see both the evolution and passion of this project over the past six weeks.

The Bitcoin Education Project has begun recruiting members of the Computer Science and Cryptology communities as fellows. We're wondering if there are some who have gone on record as Bitcoin supporters?

If you know of one, then please post a name, reference to their comments and field.

The Bitcoin Education Project is looking for sponsors in the Bitcoin business community to partner with us in developing the Bitcoin for Entrepreneurs course that will discuss laws, regulations and best accounting principles for businesses who choose to accept bitcoins.

Sponsors will be permitted to record lectures on how to use their products for our students. Please PM me if you are interested in sharing your goods and services with the bitcoin business community.

565  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: can mining algorithyms be changed to benefit humanity on: June 12, 2013, 02:47:45 AM
The answer is actually yes. The proof of work can be modified to allow distributed computing projects be involved in the verification of blocks. This topic is non-trivial and would require an extremely deep discussion. No one has done it and it isn't possible to do with that way Bitcoin works at the moment. It would require an altcoin.

The Bitcoin Education Project is highly involved in China at the moment and we have a strategy to educate the chinese on Bitcoin. I'd love to discuss it with you at your convenience. Please check out our website:

We also have a director specifically for Chinese integration:

began listening to the udemy bitcoin series you put on. One question:  How come bitcoin is constantly being referred to as "the bitcoin" and not just "Bitcoin"?

I started a poll here to see what people think: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=231801.0

It's a leftover from referring to Dollars as the Dollar. In the remake, I will use Bitcoin instead of the Bitcoin.

I happen to know of one such solution now, although I can't be sure that everyone will agree it's "perfect." It will likely be "the best we can think of" again though.

I do too Smiley How that's whitepaper coming along Luke.

Satoshi probably prefers some kind of unix (more likely Net/OpenBSD than Linux), but chose the 'wrong' OS and a different coding style to mislead everyone.

Or he is an academic

The podcast was excellent, great job with the interview. Did you have to go in studio for that?

Thanks, Adam does all his interviews over skype thanks to its great call quality.

So how are you handling the newsletter here? Can't be by email, can it? 

We are looking into different distribution methods. Bitmessage might actually work well. Thus we'll have an announcement about it soon.

I laud the effort and will watch closely

however I have seen a few of the P2P exchange threads now full to the brim with details,  if as much time was spent coding as writing these long descriptions, we would have P2P exchanges by now, eg satoshi coded bitcoin before writing how it worked

The goal here is to aggregate those currently working on p2p exchanges and see where we can get common ground. Then to pool development and problem solving resources. A p2p exchange is significantly more complex than just a cryptocurrency due to trust issues, the amount of fiat instruments in the ecosystem and the notion of protective leverage.

The issue is that there isn't just one way to resolve these problems. Instead there is a spectrum of potential solutions that really would require both indepth analysis and probably a stress test to see is the system is scalable. Due to limited resources, it isn't possible to do this for every solution thus we have to somehow choose to discriminate.

Stage one of Invictus is to figure out a working definition of a p2p exchange based on a set of criterion and create some sort of comparison chart to see where everyone's implementation falls. Stage two is to pick a subset of technologies and construct a working prototype. Stage three is to stress and pen test it.

Even if the initial minimum viable product fails, we will still have a pool of ideas to draw new MVPs from until something comes along that works. Invictus isn't a one month project. It's here for the long arc to solve Bitcoin's biggest problem.

J was a much more talented programmer and was a linux user. Satoshi's coding style is not the same and he was a window's user.

I'm happy to point out your inadequacies in public presentation (once again), but please stop making this about you. We're all here because we care about decentralized exchange. If you're going to "lead", then lead, and as a leader, when someone posts something in your thread publicly for critique and commentary, don't ignore the points-- respond to them. Otherwise, you risk people not taking you seriously as a leader.

This is the last time I'm ever going to reply to a post you make thus I suppose you should savor it while you can. You have been arrogant, dismissive and condescending during my entire time at Bitcointalk. I'm not the one with an untrustworthy tag nor the one fired from his own magazine.

I have nothing to prove, but apparently you have everything to prove. One can never win an argument with a man in such a setting because you're beyond reason. Please enjoy the discussion here and please enjoy the products of BEP as they become available. I wish you well and I really hope you find the help you need.  

Ignore List On (Thank you Technology Smiley)

I'm not sure if that will be the case forever, but the following canned response to a deeply thought out submission doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Matt just please stay out of my threads. I've had numerous hour long skype calls with bytemaster on his system and I've been reading his whitepaper. Please do not interject yourself into a conversation you obviously know nothing about

Just to be sure, is this about distributed, decentralized p2p exchanges as opposed to centralized ones like bitcoin.de?

This is correct. At the very least such an exchange must meet the following criterion:

A wonderful project. It will help people like myself, a merchant who accepts bitcoin ONLY. (I am the owner of knives4bitcoin.com)

I am doing my part to make the use of Bitcoin a reality. I ship orders paid for purely by Bitcoin. If there are ways to USE bitcoin, it will become VALUABLE. And educating them is the first step.

I want to see a future of bitcoin surpassing all obstacles and government-provided suppression. I support you 100%

This is why bitcoin will win in the face of all adversaries.

I support charleshoskinson as well as Phinnaeus Gage. Both are on the same team.

Thank you so much for your commitment to Bitcoin. We'll see a day when Bitcoin Accepted here is as ubiquitous as Visa

Please accept my apology, Charles. I was totally off-based with my comment. I will not even bother with explaining why, or what state of mind I was in when I wrote such shit.

Everybody else, please support Charles in whatever capacity you can.

Peace.

~Bruno K~

I'm sorry for my rough reply as well. With Matt and Greyhawk floating about, I sometimes get overly defensive in my comments.
