Wasn't Aaron Swartz working on a decentralized P2P version Twitter when they decided to lock him up for 30 years?

This wouldn't be hard to make at all.

Is that what this is? http://socialvpn.wordpress.com/tag/peer-to-peer-twitter/

Interesting.  Something like what was discussed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2141.0

Glad to see you've built this.

Hilarious.

I wonder what the process is like to create one of those videos.  How does he know what words will work with the movement of their mouths.

Even in this video Ron Paul makes more sense than most politicians:

Thanks.  Fixed.

Maclean's is probably Canada's biggest newsmagazine:

I'm extremely amused at this thread, did anyone actually check what happens if you type "bitcoin-central.com" in a browser?
Yep, that's what I thought.

And ashley, sorry for being rude, but when the thread started I still thought it was all about cyber-squatting, which is provably not, looking at the WHOIS. But you probably got that from my posts on page 1, unlike most of the haters in this thread for which actually reading a thread to get an educated opinion is probably asking too much.

Why does it always seem that the first person to denounce 'haters' in an online argument is usually the one making hateful comments?  Is it some variant of Godwin's law at play?

A thousand bucks doesn't sound out of line to me.  Didn't bitcoin.de go for more than $20,000 over a year ago?

Just came across this SEC-avoiding crowd funding idea today.  Maybe this is an approach that would work for refugees from GLBSE.

@Bimmerhead I like your idea of a referral reward system. If I can figure out a way to implement it without people cheating and making a bunch of fake accounts, then I might seriously consider doing it.

And yeah, for a future version, I was planning on offering multiple rooms based on category and also high stakes/low stakes. I just hope the site can grow to that level!
Just make the referral reward a function of how much the referred users spend at the site.

So question for everyone:

Right now the game is really fun when 3 or more people are playing. We've had windows of time where this is the case and everyone is enjoying themselves. The problem is when no one is playing and someone new shows up. Then they ultimately leave because nothing is going on. I've tried to remedy this a little by letting people play "single player" against the website. They don't need to bid anything, but if they answer the question right, they get some bitcoin from the website. That way they might stay long enough that other people might join.

Does anyone have any other ideas for how I could get more people on the site so that this isn't as big of a problem?

A referral reward system.

And once there are enough people on board, it would be great to have different trivia 'rooms' for different subjects (history, sports, entertainment, science etc.)

Great idea, trying it now.  Thanks for building it.
733  Other / Off-topic / Re: 2 year old - Cries himself to sleep every other night on: December 04, 2012, 03:57:15 AM
My dad used to tell the story of when I would cry before bed every night.  Finally he said "I'll give you a reason to cry" and promptly spanked me.  After that I went to sleep every night without crying.

Of course some parents nowadays know better than their forebears and would never spank their kids.  Their presumption brings with it its own reward.  Grin

I wondered if it was legal issues around being a securities exchange.  And what the impact would be on other exchanges.
735  Economy / Service Discussion / GLBSE: does someone have a synopsis? on: October 26, 2012, 12:31:12 AM
Has this turned out to be a scam, or was it shut down for legal reasons?
736  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Has anyone else looked into the legality of Bitcoin in Canada? on: October 13, 2012, 01:43:26 AM
you should contact the owner at cavirtex.com  He has done considerable investigation into this issue already, I believe.

Don't forget that he paid for his mining rig.  Not payed for it.  Grin

Nice looking site, interesting idea.

Why don't you tell us your name, where you're located, maybe post a picture.  It helps build a little reassurance after the recent debacles around here.
739  Bitcoin / Project Development / Bitcoin as a way for non-USA citizens to launch or support Kickstarter projects on: September 24, 2012, 11:48:35 PM
This is more of a question than a suggestion.  Here is the problem:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-business/sb-digital/web-strategy/a-kickstart-to-raising-funds-on-kickstarter/article4105948/

Now how could a U.S.-based entity setup shop to allow foreigners to support Kickstarter projects using bitcoin, and also help foreign entrepreneurs raise money via Kickstarter?

Gorgeous grey convertible in excellent condition. Comes with hardtop, power soft top, power heated seats, power headrests/windows/locks/mirrors (including rearview mirror), cruise control, AMG replica rims, leather seats.  Very powerful 5 litre V8 engine 322 hp when new. 

I have owned this car since I imported it from Japan in September 1996.  Maintained at local independent European specialist shop.  A/C does not work, needs front shocks.  Other than that it is a beauty.

Will deliver within 300 kms of Toronto, Ontario.  PM for delivery beyond that.
