Another interesting question: How long until you bought/mined your first coins? I had heard of bitcoin around April and bought my first coins in May.

Quote from: GoWest on October 30, 2011, 04:44:53 PM Quote from: bbit on October 29, 2011, 06:24:52 PM At least it's being mentioned .... "The fights over financing are as varied as the protesters' reasons for protesting. Should the library buy the cheapest tables available or more sturdy, durable ones? Should the funds be spent on infrastructure in Manhattan or to help Occupy movements across the U.S.? Should all the money be converted to an alternative currency like Bitcoin?" source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/24/occupy-wall-street-money-donated-tension_n_1029377.html This wasn't supposed to happen until Day 89! Day 89, I said! "Day 89: The Occupy Wall Street protests are now a nation-wide phenomenon. As the protesters increasingly shun the banks, Bitcoin becomes their predominant way of exchanging money amongst each other." LOL

Wright on October 29, 2011, 08:44:10 AM Why is anyone surprised MtGox could give away $100 easily. They are an exchange. If they're not flat out printing their own money, they just influence the exchange rate to cover their losses. Just because he could make money easily neither means he does it nor means he gives it away at every 2nd occasion. See Uncle Scrooge, if you will. That's true, but I have my doubts the actual holdings are real. We'll be getting closer to figuring this out at the end of the month when we interview Mark on bittalk.tv. Wow.. Not a lot is happening on that site..

One last question: Was it bought by Mark Karpeles aka MagicalTux?

I still find it strange that the moment exchb closes, mtgox starts offering deposits through Chase (which exchb used to offer).

Quote from: julz on October 29, 2011, 03:35:56 PM Quote from: damnek This idea is too complex I agree it would be complex to implement, and the value is debatable. Also - if the majority of coins are lost in small amounts by average users, it won't help that much in estimating how many coins were lost versus those just sitting in small long term savings. It may however allow some better estimations, and more confidence in the system. Quote from: damnek and violates the foundations of Bitcoin. So development should stop? No more features/improvements even if the majority of miners/users were to agree? Which 'foundations' in particular do you feel are violated? I would say that it is the other way around: it is easy to implement, but understanding the implications is difficult. Bitcoin has been very clear about the rules from the beginning: send coins to anybody for free. Now you propose a restriction. That's not going to work. Start your own blockchain and implement it there ;-)

Nice initiative. The link section looks a bit confusing to me, e.g. it suggests that mtgox.com is the London Bitcoin Exchange. I use Firefox on Ubuntu.

I'm waiting for Bitcoin prize fees being introduced into games. That would be awesome. sc2btc.com is a nice example of this.

I have a question for you. Can you think of any feature that a blockchain-based coin may introduce that would give it a significant edge over Bitcoin?

Quote from: fabsugar on October 29, 2011, 04:06:34 AM How do you invest in bitcoin? Is there any list of authorities we can buy from? Wrong thread but since I need posts, use mtgox.com or tradehill.com.
