I don't understand. Why not just release issues under a CC-BY-SA. Why more than one license?

When would a retailer ever accept a transaction on faith? Whenever a customer hands them anything smaller than a Benjamin. |

We would like to launch a peer2peer currency bounded to a specific community®ion... Unless your specific community and region has its own, isolated internet, I suspect that you'll find this task impractical, if not impossible. You could probably try to keep your currency secret, but you've already blown your cover. (i.e. central europe) and therefore we found it more practical to have our own network, parallel to the main bitcoin thread, independent from the speculations of GPU miners. What's to stop the speculations of GPU miners from affecting your currency? Also please understand that by our tentatives to create a parallel currency (let's call it kybcoin for example) we do not want to, in any way, undermine the impact&value of the main bitcoin currency. On the contrary, we believe that an emergence of a new bitcoin-philosophy-based currency will add new spice in the game, since in the ideal case it would be possible to exchange bitcoins for kybcoins & vice versa... Do you intend to incorporate significant modifications to the source code? If not, how will you impose your community's philosophies, to the extent that Bitcoin does not already? which would be in the end, to the profit of all (we truly believe that bitcoin can lead to a nonzero-sum game economy) Please elaborate. |

Someone much earlier in the thread mentioned geocaching as a way to execute a trade.
I thought of another way. There's this group of people who do this thing called "geohashing" (google it). Basically they take a hash of the date plus some figure not known until that day (in their case, they use MD5 and the NYSE closing price) and compute a lat/long with it. And they meet up (whenever possible) at that place.
Something like this - merely the idea of a pseudorandomly selected meeting place - could make a trading system viable, nobody would need to go to any known specific place... (that is, after the algorithm being refined so it chooses places people can actually go inconspicuously, rather than in the middle of some farmer's field).
Further, it could be arranged so that the pseudorandom location generator had some sort of duress input, whereby a drug user turned informant by force could simply give a duress input that would break the function of the algorithm and leave the cops showing up to a random place all alone...
Just random ideas, I don't see them as viable all by themselves without major refinement

You’re seriously advising people to change their default character set to non-Unicode? Nope. Those were just the defaults in my browser. It'll probably work either way. |

There would be pretty awesome cool factor if the satellite ran a lite btc client itself I would totally sent bitcoins to your satellite. |

If you deal with several charities this way, AND you're bundling up several donations before forwarding the coins to the charity, then it'll be hard to connect donors to particular charities.
What the receiver intends not merely to obfuscate the senders, but also his income? |

I won't make customers wait around for confirmation blocks to build up. That makes more sense. What about buyers who don't pay transaction fees. Any risk that they might get held up for too long at the throbber? |
|

|
|
Perhaps instead of a throbber, the customer could just get an e-mail upon confirmation of the transaction, signifying the commencement of the product delivery. Why sit around waiting at a confirmation screen?

USD, here and now. The supermarket doesn't accept bitcoins yet.

Unfortunately, we can't yet buy with bitcoins most of the things we can with other currencies. I would think that the lack of choice would skew the significance of any coffee or webspace index. I suppose the best index for any currency would be some type of sex index. What's money for, amiright? EDIT: An interesting article on the topic: http://bigthink.com/ideas/23937 |

Between 2013 and 2020, but that's me being really optimistic. Not because I think the black helicopters will come and shut Bitcoin down, but because I think that a lot of people will continue to support government backed currency. Old habits die hard.

I'm talking about distributing what I want to others who express an interest, without being required to also share the source or meet some other requirement of a license.
Personally I don't see an incentive for someone to withhold code for a long period of time. But, I do see the potential for many business plans such as releasing binaries to an app store 30 days before releasing the code in the public domain. I think this type of arrangement could be the root of many an innovation in software distribution and sales, but it's hard to tell given the presence of both IP in general and the GPL in specific.
You can't restrict copyleft licensing without restricting copyright protections in general, and that's kind of the point. Please, direct your ire accordingly. |

Do you write Euro or Euros?
Singular of course, it is just Bitcoin. But is the plural Bitcoin or Bitcoins?
I will send you five Bitcoin.
I will send you five Bitcoins.
The total number of Bitcoins in circulation today is 4.85 million.

Wow, PCworld +1
Can we have a wiki article yet.....
Just referenced it in the incubator article. |
|
|
|
Can you share a screen shot? Or: ϭ
Both of your suggestions seem a little random. The best suggestions try to incorporate some sort of association with bitcoins or the Bitcoin system. |

Couldn't find such a prohibition there either. I must be blind. |
