note to amir: maybe you should remove the donation address from your article and link to their donation page instead. why? because if i wanted to donate i should double-check that it goes to the right person. and by copy-pasting from your site i have to trust an additional person. as a "bitcoin-sage" you are setting precedents how people will handle this stuff, and people might get sloppy about this and get scammed. |

about 3 days ago i was commenting on the language choice.
from a software architecture standpoint other languages than c++ would make more sense in such a sensitive area.
i am not suggesting that it should be rewritten. but i think it is very important that alternative implementations like BitcoinJ, multibit, armory, electrum exist.

my sell order standing since 2 days for 4.98890 was NOT filled. how did it print 4.99000 then?
i am somewhat pissed.

thanks, mined some coins, also got 50 from test-fauchet.
for me on 0.6.0rc2 it seems to be working (height 48968 atm)

since the testnet fauchet is broken, how can i get some testnet coins?
if you have any to spare, please send them to
mmd5mp8rAirGXXaDDgu7j4PUY4CnnoxVh7
for my tests i will need about 1000.
lack of mined blocks should not really be a problem for me.
i theory i would even be willing to pay for them, but then it wouldn't be testnet right?

Almost positive they wil rent a venue elsewhere. Hackspace is too small for an event like this.
yes, i had that assumption as well. but for the days before/afterwards a hackspace would be nice to hang around.. |

|
|
will definately attend again!
has anyone an overview of the hackspace infrastructure in london?

i doubt that they would retrofit existing systems to do mining. there are too many issues, plus google has enough cash to just build another data center dedicated to mining. some issues (pulled out of thin air): - existing power grid and batteries for UPS would maybe be too weak.
- heat management is already non-trivial and they planned their data centers for their target load. adding GPUs would also mean adding new cooling system.
- cpu and network load is already a non-trivial issue for their map/reduce algos. spilling p2p traffic on top of that would not really help.
- if they invested in hardware it would not be GPU but FPGA or even ASIC.

my comment from http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/qblwb/video_of_eric_schmidt_talking_briefly_about/ its interesting that Eric Schmidt came up with Bitcoin in this conversation.
Somehow I think Google, Amazon are sympathetic to it and are just waiting for Bitcoin become a little more mainstream before they endorse it.
The guy asking the question wanted to pitch faircash, a collection of ideas sketched out in his? 230 Page Dissertation.
I have scratched the surface of it. So far i can see that is a hardware-based crypto system with central PKI, but there is no prototype of it yet.
Furthermore i suspect double-spending is not solved, even theoretically, because transactions can occur in isolated (non-internet-connected) environments.

congratulations on this site. checked it out today.
since i do not play D2 my advice is maybe uninformed, but anyway:
first of all, deposit/withdrawal should work fully automatic.
as i understand it is all honor-based? so no escrow for ingame delivery? obviously this is no critical issue.
it looks like some items are very heavily traded and almost like a commodity. it would make sense to classify them and make them searchable, maybe similar to an ingame auction house.
i was hoping to transfer some wealth from WoW to SWTOR, but it looks like the market outside D2 is quite thin

klingt für mich nach schlechter QA abteilung die den ganzen Bitcoin-prozess nicht korrekt durchgespielt haben..
immerhin hat der support nach einigen tagen dir helfen können.

i must say i am moderatly pissed - watched the dump, saw a ~3kBTC ask wall@5.4 where i wanted to buy.
but i was unable to do so because first mtgox did not respond at all, later my bid did not get through in time it did take about 10 minutes. now the price is IMO in neutral territory, so i won't buy right now.

This will stay as a rumor. It was only a clueless support person, they are not really planning on adding Bitcoin as a payment option.
Interestingly, in the Good Wife episode, it was testified in court that Amazon accepts Bitcoin. Amazon Execs should watch it |

smells like short squeeze to me. relatively low volume barely any bid support. but who knows where this leaks since we are still continuing the uptrend from the last weeks.

i must say i expected this. when discussing the app with other Bitcoin-interested people we came to the conclusion they are violating the twitter TOS and will be shut down like other likewise services once they become noticed by twitter.

compare this to: http://stats.grok.se/en/201105/Bitcoinalmost the same top peak. although i suspect this peak to wear off faster. my conclusion: fundamentals suggest same price levels as in 05/2011, minus more "bubble-awareness" and shortselling opportunity. |

I think it is wrong to give max all credit and responsibility for the 1M Users campaign.
As I understood it at the Eurobit, bit-pay declared this as their and a "general" goal, Max and others picked it up.
