Did my trollish subject get you here?
I'm wondering if any Ron Paul supporters are going to be setting up any Bitcoin related Ron Paul services, such as a central place where Bitcoins could be converted to dollars (and the total reported, showing how many Bitcoins people are willing to give to help his campaign) which are donated to the Ron Paul campaign. Or a place that sells Ron Paul stuff, like shirts, buttons, and blimps. It's kind of late to be thinking about, but he has a big money bomb the 5th for the first debates.
If Ron Paul ever became president, I think I just might stop caring about bitcoins. |

I'm thinking of making something like adf.ly that uses bitcoin as the currency. Would anyone use this? Anyone want to help? I bought adb.tc just in case... Go for it! |

I suggest eMansipater go and talk. He is quite well spoken and seems to have fun explaining the ins and outs of bitcoin to anybody.

Yea stupid idea I suppose...
With the number of people who have had their money held for 180 days through PayPal... if a class action was at all possible, I am sure it would have been created by now.

May have lost 0.05 BTC sent by the faucet...
Had it sent to a windows box, windows almost immediately received a virus, I simply removed the HD and re-installed ubuntu to a new drive.
Time (and value of BTC) will tell if I ever boot up the old HD, remove the virus, and send my BTC back to the faucet/myself/anywhere.
TL;DR I probably lost 0.05 BTC.
Edit: I finally recovered them and have sent them back to the faucet! Enjoy, future bitcoiners!

The namecoin software should do this automatically. It will eventually, I assume?
Namecoin is just the mechanism for registrating domains. I meant the namecoin client :S |

Many thanks for doing your part, Plato!

lol yes I do know this error its not my fault every morning when I wake up I check the exchange rate and its flew up again  Once this is at a stable state I will make sure its about the equivelent of £35. AND the ISO will be available for free if you want to buy your own flash device and make your own. What I will say is if you do decide to do this I would hope you could appreciate that most of my efforts will be going towards the paying customers. So no support for roll your own usb stick. But if you are comfortable using linuk I suspect you will be fine  Ummm wha?? The btc price has not flown up since your OP. |

If your car keys ever fall into a river of lava, just let them go, cause man, they're gone.
You must play minecraft. |

They are obstructing a harmless otherwise legal business.
Class action, anyone?

That would bring us one step closer to becoming a universally recognized currency. I concur! |

That can be found at bitcoinwatch.
I don't get it.
Google says 1 EUR = 1,4809 USD
Can anyone explain me this?
I just had a look and it looks like it's based on the last Euro exchange at 3.7 on bitmarketEUR. It's technically the correct way to go about it, but of course you have to take it with a grain of salt considering total volume was 25 Euro for the past 24 hours on that market. Not sure where gold comes from, that one looks a bit odd. The gold is probably from bitcoin market pecunix. If all the exchanges had lots of volume people would arbitrage and bring it close, but some have very few trades. Exactly. The markets are too stagnant right now to eat up these small differences. Sooner or later somebody will write a bot that equalizes the markets and slowly extracts money from them at the same time. Don't worry! |

Why is it broken? The cost of registrating domains will fall 50% over whatever period I forgot.
There's a limited number of domains, which is unsustainable. No formula will be able to predict demand. In theory, there are a limited number of .com domains as well. There is a generic hard limit of 63 characters for a domain name. Considering the nature of domain names however (to make ip addresses easier to understand), there is a generic soft limit of ~15 characters in length. Otherwise it would be easier to remember the IPv4 address at this point. So in theory there are only 36^15 total possible useful .com domain names, or = 2.2107392 e^23 according to google... but there is a limit. As a fellow bitcoiner, I would not go around pointing out a brand new project's flaws and using that as a reason to avoid it. If everybody did that, where would bitcoins be today? |

Sooooo... they've made the news announcement over a week ago, but it still seems as though they are not accepting bitcoins as payment?
In their main "buy/sell" linden dollars box... there is no option to select bitcoins.
|
|
|
|
So in a sense... this could be used the entire world over? For all domain names? Not just for bitcoin?
Or is it a bitcoin-centric model?
Just hook up your resolv.conf and you're ready to access *.bit domains. The namecoin software should do this automatically. It will eventually, I assume? |

Either way.. I still suggest we move all namecoin related posts to their own sub forum. If it dies, simply kill the sub forum. What have we got to lose? Besides cleaning up the BTC forums a bit?

The student in question was "using fraudulent bank accounts to buy and sell in-game gold" ...
That is why the FBI came.
Just don't buy your bitcoins with credit card numbers you bought off of somebody named Nikolai and you should be safe. Case closed.

Quite a large order I am aware... but perhaps we could borrow some code from the bittorrent/utorrent projects?
One of the problems that torrents faced a year or two ago was "throttling" or traffic shaping by ISPs. Read: meddling with consumer's software programs via the net.
If I am not mistaken, the port randomization and traffic encryption abilities of torrent clients got around this.
Perhaps constantly rotating ports would not be possible without some sort of centralized tracker that torrents make use of? But surely it would be possible to eliminate any "signatures" that bitcoin might leave in it's transmission messages by encrypting the data.

Yes... I was just going to suggest the same thing. I think it should have it's own forum re:domain to be honest.
It's too bad namecoin.org was registered 5 years ago and is now down...
