Option B, but they all look good.
Ok cool thanks!

This company doesn't appear to be registered with the U.S. Department of Treasury as an MSB (http://www.fincen.gov/financial_institutions/msb/msbstateselector.html).

Nor does it look like it's registered with the U.S. states as a money transmitter (CA: http://www.dfi.ca.gov/Directory/money_transmitters.html).

cool thanks

Ƀ is unicode and unique (unused for anything else afaik).
We don't want to reuse the Thai Baht symbol people, I don't care how pretty it looks to you.

Yeah, this really is the best reason to use Ƀ until we can BTC in unicode.

Is it me, my phone, or is the first one not showing?

It should be showing!
66  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: [ANN] New BTC -> moneyPak site on: June 24, 2013, 04:48:02 PM
is that site legit Huh

Legit as in registered by the operator with the Department of Treasury, yes!
Legit as in uses SSL for the safety of it's customers, yes!
Legit as in American based tax paying company, yes!

So, yes, unless I missed something...



In addition to the Feds (FinCEN), are you also registered with all 50 states as well as other territories of the US? I don't see you on CA's money transmitter list: http://www.dfi.ca.gov/Directory/money_transmitters.html

I would love to see you make a Feathercoin Unicode

Yeah definitely, as well as for all the other alternative currencies. All we'd have to do is make up a proposal and submit it.
68  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? on: June 21, 2013, 04:19:36 PM
Should make some kind of triangle symbol or something. Or some other weird shape. Something original

Definitely! Let us know if you have any ideas!   Smiley
69  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? on: June 20, 2013, 10:23:04 PM
I would have to go with the first one.

I've always liked it, feels fresh somehow... also it is not a complete ripoff of the american $ sign.

I totally agree! Super fresh and artistically pleasant. And yeah, the fact that BTC is soo similar to $ is a problem.
70  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? on: June 20, 2013, 04:14:45 PM

I will go with BTC, already used by another country but it is really a problem?

It's not really a problem now... but as the bits become more popular, it might be a problem in the future. Hopefully by then we'll have our very own special BTC unicode character!
71  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? on: June 19, 2013, 08:36:54 PM
I agree the third one is best, but it's already used as Thailand's currency.


wow really? I never would've guessed

Yeah! Unfortunately this can create some confusion, especially for international customers.  Undecided
72  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? on: June 19, 2013, 04:03:57 PM
I like the 3rd one best

Then why do you display the first one in your avatar?


I like the third one best, but also am displaying the first one in my avatar... since the avatar options were so limited.. this one had the best overall design  Wink
73  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? on: June 19, 2013, 06:04:41 AM
Yes this one is quite pleasing, in an artistic sense. I haven't seen it many places but it was on a billboard in San Jose recently: Honey Badger http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1gagle/lol_new_bitcoin_billboard_in_san_jose_honey_badger/

74  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? on: June 19, 2013, 12:57:55 AM
So far the third one gets 6 votes and only one vote each for the first and second. The third one really is the closest match, it's just that Thailand already snagged it's virtue.
75  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? on: June 19, 2013, 12:09:10 AM
You should make a litecoin unicode symbol thatd be cool!

I agree! All the alt-coins need a unicode character. It doesn't look that hard to submit a proposal: http://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html
76  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which Alt Unicode BitCoin Symbol Do You Like Best? on: June 18, 2013, 11:50:28 PM
Take a look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=187468.0
It has been already discussed some times ago, btw i like the "classic" one: ฿
Cool, thanks.

Does anyone know if anyone has submitted a proposal to get the classic BitCoin symbol in unicode?
http://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html

I dont think anyone cares if its in unicode or not.

It's actually really helpful if it's in unicode. Then it's searchable since it's essentially text, and it's easier to insert wherever you want, and  we know there will be cross compliance among different computers. As a business, having characters in unicode saves a lot of time and is quite efficient.

Which alternative unicode BitCoin symbol do you like the best?

Ƀ


B⃦



฿



Someone needs to create the unicode symbol for the typical BTC… with the two vertical lines penetrating the center of the B.

This is the Bitcoin. Watch it hash in slow motion.

It's pretty badass. Look. It hashes all over the place. "Whoa! Watch out!" says that bank.

Eew, it's got encryption! Oh! It's chasing a merchant service! Oh my gosh!

Oh, the Bitcoin is just crazy!

The Bitcoin has been referred to by the Guiness Book of World Records as the most fearless currency on the Internet. It really doesn't give a shit. If it's hashing, it's mining.

Eew! What's that in its block chain? Oh, it's got a double-spend? Oh, it runs backwards? Now watch this: look FinCEN's up in courts. Bitcoin don't care. It just confirms what it wants. Whenever it's mining it just -- Eew, and it mines, transactions... Watch it reward! Look at that mining.

The Bitcoin is really pretty badass. It has no regard for any other currency whatsoever. Look at it, it's just hashing, and mining blocks. Eew! What's that? Silk Road? Oh that's nasty. Bitcoin's so nasty. Oh look it's hashing things and mining them.

The Bitcoin has a fairly long block chain, but a distinctly elliptical encryption scheme, and, you know, its developers are loose, allowing it to move about freely, and they twist around.

Now look: Here's a house full of gold bugs. Do you think the Bitcoin cares? It doesn't give a shit, it goes right into the homes of libertarians to get some liquidity. How disgusting is that? It mines silk road transactions. Eew, that's so nasty.

But look! The Bitcoin doesn't care! It's users get hacked like a thousand times. It doesn't give a shit. It's just mining. It doesn't care about being hacked by the feds. Nothing can stop the Bitcoin when it's mining. What a crazy fuck! Look, it's mining anonymous transactions, that's disgusting.

It's hashing in slow-motion again. See?

Now, what's interesting is that other currencies like the dollar here, they just wait around until the Bitcoin crashes, and then it swoops in to pick up the scraps. It says, "You do all the work for us, Bitcoin, and we'll just profit whatever you mine, how's that? What'daya say, stupid?"

Look at this currency: "Thanks for the treat, stupid!"

"Hey, come back here," says the Bitcoin.

Currencies don't care, and you know what? The alt-coins do it too. Look at these little alt-coins. They're like "Thanks stupid! Thanks for the mining! See you later." The Bitcoin does all the work and all these other currencies just pick up the scraps.

At nightime the Bitcoin goes mining, because it's hashing. Look! Here comes a fierce battle between a government currency and Bitcoin. I wonder what will happen?

Look at this, there's the Bitcoin just hashing a block, and then look, "Get away from me!" says the government, "Get away from me!" Bitcoin don't care. Bitcoin smacks the shit out of it. And the government comes back and it lashes at the Bitcoin.

Oh, little does the Bitcoin know, FYI: it's been hacked! It's been forked by the 51% attack, so while it's hashing the block chain -- eew, that's disgusting -- all the hacked blocks are seeping into the Bitcoin's block chain, and it forks out. Look at that forked fuck.

Now the Bitcoin is going to fork out for a few minutes, and then it's going to get right back up and start hashing all over again, because it's a resiliant little bastard.

Look at this! Like nothing happened! The Bitcoin gets right back up and continues hashing the block chain.
How disgusting.

And of course, what does the Bitcoin have to hash for the next two weeks?
Transactions.

The Bitcoin.
