It cannot be sustained below 2.00 for too long.
What's your argument? What data has led you to choose $2.00 as your minimum price point? Just wondering. Thanks. :-) |

I'm sure there are several ways, most of them better than mine, but here was my method:
1. Find an animation to superimpose.
2. Open the animation and the QR code in GIMP. Edit the QR code until it looks the way you want it to look. (For mine I just added a layer of white on top and screwed with the opacity until I reached a level of gray that both looked good and was legible to my preferred QR scanning app.)
3. Copy and paste the QR code into the background of every frame of the animation. (Note: you may have to resize the animation's canvas first in order to fit the whole QR code in.)
4. Save as a GIF animation and you are done!

DiabloMiner is written in Java and thus should work.

Yeah, the dependencies aren't there. :-/
I'm going to try getting glibc installed in my home directory, see if that works.
Edit:
Doing this with shared hosting on WebFaction is turning out to be a huge P.I.T.A. Moving to a VPS on Host Nexus.

Has anyone had any luck getting the Bitcoin daemon running on a WebFaction server? I'm developing a bitcoin service and need some way of getting the daemon running. Right now the binary won't run because of missing libraries. Namely I get this error:
./bin/32/bitcoind: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./bin/32/bitcoind)
./bin/32/bitcoind: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by ./bin/32/bitcoind)
Any insights?

Done. But I'm afraid you are going to wait a bit for the transaction to include in a block if nobody is mining at the moment.
But it is much better than mining one yourself and waiting 120 blocks.
By the way, difficulty on testnet is half of main net so it is slightly less than 8.
Alright. Thanks! :-) |

Difficulty on testnet is 17.097486109999998, so it'll take my development box 4 hours on average to generate a block. I was just hoping there'd be a way to get one faster than that.

I'm working on a bitcoin service at the moment and have gotten to the point where I need to do some testing with bitcoins. Unfortunately it looks like the testnet bitcoin faucet is down. Anyone know where I can get some testnet bitcoins...?
Thanks. :-)

I'm trying to develop a bitcoin service, but I can't seem to figure out how to hook into the "bitcoins received" event in the bitcoind client. Is this even possible? Do I just have to poll the client every so often?
Please let me know. I've been Googling and searching the forums and I can't seem to find any information on this.
Thanks!

You know what's interesting? If the Mystery Miner commands a large enough share of the network, they could feasibly drive up the price of bitcoins by holding on to all the bitcoins they mine instead of selling them on the open market. If a sizable share of all the network's bitcoins are going to them, they effectively reduce the overall supply and (potentially) turn people who would have been producers of bitcoins into consumers. This would also increase demand.
Then, once they have a decent amount mined and the price has gone up sufficiently, they could sell them all in a dark pool for a handsome profit. Prices would then plummet, of course.
Btw, anyone know where that 30,000 BTC sell-off from last week came from?

Maybe the thing to worry about is that the cops won't have a freaking clue about coins and will just see you ship a grand to whomever they are watching and assume you are buying whatever illicit thing the criminal is in to.
That kind of incompetence is an argument against police not bitcoin.
Law enforcement has historically (okay, in the early-to-mid 90s anyway) been quite behind technological developments, especially when it comes to disruptive technology. I imagine there will be quite a few snafus between law enforcement and the Bitcoin Community before law enforcement finally learns how to get along with bitcoins. |

I wish to lend 50 BTC and receive 54 BTC in return.

That's true. And we also must think about an offline use of a bitcoin character. Do you remember paper ? ^^
Good point. It's important to allow aspiring economics students to be able to include the relevant character in a thesis. This means it needs to be available to word processors and editors. It needs to be reproduced in both e-books and hard copy. +1 It's sounding like a straight-up unicode character would be the best, these things considered. Although an image would work as well, since most word processors and editors allow image embedding. Still, that would be a pain. Given the choices, I think I'm just going to type "BTC" when I want to indicate bitcoins. |

We're getting between 500 and 1,000 downloads of bitcoin binaries from the SourceForge site per day ( stats here). Point of curiosity: why are we getting way more downloads than page views? Is someone somewhere direct linking to the binary? Where's all that traffic coming from? |

 Jus' sayin'... |

I just saw this and it really strikes home with my principles and values, so I wanted to share it for those who might not have seen it yet:  +1 Who did this?  |

Youtube like site are killing the porn download model. Now everyone moves on to live cam to monetize.
Yeah, that makes sense. I wasn't arguing for the profitability of any one sort of business model. Those cam sites are part of the porn industry too, as far as I'm concerned. It's a question of what's being sold, not how it's being sold. |
