You must have a fast finger :-)

Hope it wasn't a big problem.

Maybe we should write a simple-as-possible-and-no-simpler explanation letter, promise a few coins (like 10 or something) and promise to add their site to a list (in a thread? on a subpage or the trade page?)

So, there are two separate tasks I think. Write a letter and compile a list of people to mass mail it too. 

I think this is the same as asking if there is any use of a computer better than running bitcoin, surely there is. The trick is finding ones that can be exported safely and efficiently so you can pay other people to do it for you. This means you probably need a big job too considering the overhead of setting it up.

Not opening for me either.

That is 2:30PM here which is tough for me, but I'll try.

Ohh, hippich, would it be hard to make it pop to the front of the screen when it is your turn?

Yes, and only bitcoins it appears.

I want to play Farkle for bitcoins, but not on facebook.

The "Nobel Prize" argument is absurd. Would reality change if the Nobel committee had decided differently? Or in that case would we actually get to analyze arguments instead of credentials?

And it is totally backwards as an indicator even. You can't get a Nobel until a bunch of people already heard you and agreed, so who cares now? It just a recognition of popularity after the fact.

And they aren't even trying to make it a good indicator anymore. They gave the peace prize to the commander of the largest military in the world. If it was funny it would be a joke.

Oh man, it would be so cool to have a skill that you level in that gets you a better chance to jump in line or something at games, for example the ones that are currently profitable from progressive jackpots etc. Or if they can be played simultaneously then skill to play them faster.

Since it exists it will be used. I think it's hard to say whether there is any other route at all.

Yeah, I suppose I got a little off topic.

Bitcoin could be used to do evil things. You could use bitcoin to pay your evil henchmen when they get tired of fiat. You could buy a gun and shoot a child.

But the gun and the bitcoin were not evil, only you were.

Considering that democracy is obviously evil with three people in a room or 300 million I don't think it's right to say "nowadays" as if the last few decades or something is the first time people have voted themselves other people's labor and freedom.

In case it isn't clear to everyone, rape, murder, and theft don't change their nature because over half (well, try 20% actually) of people vote to call them taxes and a justice system. Not any more than I can justly "punish" a lone guest who comes to my house when my wife and I outvote him. If someone wants to tell me where the democromagic begins number wise I'd love to hear the justification.

If we can't do ancap because people are evil, how exactly are we better off letting evil people tell us what to do? And if the 'fittest' are the most evil then won't we be amplifying the problem by magnifying those evil people?

Or we could have a democracy, where a bunch of evil people choose their evil ruler?

It will show up on the upper left. "Available BC: XXXX"

Do you really think you have better survival chances being mean and aggressive? Are you familiar with Dawkin's "The Selfish Gene"? Consider that everyone you meet has most of the same genes as you and that the genes in your body are more interested in reproducing copies of themselves than copies of you. Helping you reproduce  accomplishes their ends, but so does helping others to thrive since they have copies of the exact same genes. There is no sound evolutionary argument for being evil.

Fit doesn't mean evil. Fit means doing what works and there are mountains of evidence that attacking people doesn't 'work'.

Something like this, not necessarily only for music, could be adapted to bitcoin.

An artist pledges to release an album once a certain fee is paid. Anyone can contribute towards the release of an album. It appears that the site holds the money and pays on release. The artist chooses the amount.

Using bitcoin would allow anyone to 'audit' and see how much has been paid. Also the address to pay for release could be placed anywhere and fans would not have to have an account at this one site. Not to mention bitcoin is perfect for micropayments anyway considering fees and all.

What is some other content that this model would work well for? I think anything episodic would be great. A carton artist with a reputation for example.

That's a thought. Why can't new registrants sell BTC but not buy?

I'm glad. So many people want other people to raise their guns as soon as someone mentions a problem. It's absurd and awful and evil.

Haha, clever.

I think for the most part people act as they were treated as children. A lot of people are controlling and manipulative because it is easy to treat your children like that.

The most controlling people end up trying to control me, I don't want this. I want to rule myself, I want to be my own leader. I have to be my own leader.

It is absurd to worry about what might happen to me if I am my own leader when I already know what my would be leaders want to do to me. They want to lock me in a cage and kill me if I try to get away from them. Talking about how bad it might be if we stop respecting them is crazy. Yes, we will have problems to solve. It will be challenging, exciting, and fun.
