Augh, again how do i use it. I need something a btc/ltc sign that i can add to any text file like in this comment with a couple keystrokes.
@bg002h Downloaded that font too installed and again in word or anyplace else nothing.
Sorry i have never add a font before.
Easiest to copy and paste from web site (use the bottom section of the site, or copying this *Might* work: Bitcoin ଜ, mBTC ଝ, bits ଞ, Satoshis ଟ). To type directly, on a Mac, enable Unicode hex input and then hold option, type 0 b 1 c, and let go of option and the character at that position in the font you have selected will print. The character that really lives at U+0B1C is this one: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0b1c/index.htmThe font program I used doesn't allow private use area usage... Anyhow, no one will see it the way you do unless they install the same font. And when they copy and paste, it won't render right in another font. As far as keyboards and Unicode are concerned, there are no bitcoin symbols. |

By the same rationale, there are many former currencies that were used for a time after they ceased to meet that criteria.

To my knowledge, no.
That said, the bc.i web page very recently was terrible for iPhone. The incessant stream of transactions made it nearly impossible to paste in to the search field. I was about 50-50 for successfully pasting...it looks like they fixed that though.
I'd like to see a block explorer that made it easier to see which addresses coins came from. Blockexplorer.com did a better job of that than bc.i
the way around this is to manually type in the address of what you are looking for. For example if you want to view information you would get by searching a specific address then you would type in 'blockchain.info/address/(your address). The same is true for a specific transaction - replacing address with "tx" - if you are looking for a specific block then you replace address with "block" Thx for the tip! |

Strong work!
Hopefully others will chime in with better suggestions than mine!

So the provably honest method has no way to prevent fake votes and no way to warranty the secrecy of votes?
It is useless for political elections, as it is now
Not exactly. Fake votes can be prevented by _trusting_ the voter list authenticator and token distributor to each perform their duties correctly/honestly, however, this violates ballot secrecy and does not eliminate trust. Now, you can minimize the trust required by making it easier for voters to check the vote and # of voters and verify all voters got a token; the block chain and a good block explorer makes part of this easy (presumably someone would notice a dishonest/incorrect distribution). If any voter failed to get a token, then having a well connected set of voters will facilitate discovery of the number of disenfranchised voters. |

The big problem is ballot secrecy. If I distribute the tokens to authorized voters, I know who everyone voted for. That's not a problem in some elections, but, it's a non-starter for many elections.
You can separate the authorization of voters from the distribution of tokens to voters, thus forcing the authorizer to collude with the issuer to break ballot secrecy. That's good enough for many elections, but still not perfect.
I think we need to wait for the fancy zero knowledge computation stuff to come to fruition before we have secret ballots and transparent elections...but real-time voting is a new idea in election science and a very interesting concept to me...especially if voters can recall and recast their vote (securely) at will.

Hourly data would have to be calculated...but afaik, no one provides hourly data.

That is what i thought when i tried the mobile site. What would you want from an app then? A screen where you could paste in some addresses and then view the transactions and the related source addresses, and their transactions, and so on? QR Reader? Yes and yes. And a tree structure showing where coins came from and went to. Oh, and something showing the fee and an estimate of how long it took to get into a block...and the calculated transaction priority...often people put on a fee when one isn't necessary. And some summary statistics would be cool...like # of transactions per hour/day (averaged over last hour/day, etc). |

I'm of the camp that feels engaging Washington and regulators is an important thing to do. I also feel that Jim Harper is brilliant and highly effective...and he knows how the game is played. He is a huge asset to the Bitcoin community.
That said, just like Gavin used to keep backups of the bitcointalk forum on his pc, he's shed some hats as things progressed. A year ago, we didn't have Coin Center or the digital chamber of commerce. The foundation tried to do it all...and it was critical at that time to do so...
But now things have grown and it's not possible to (affordably) do all things well. If the foundation had to pick one thing to work on, I agree it's the core. Could the foundation someday grow into a huge organization with every possible type of specialist (programmers, lawyers, policy wonks, marketers, educators, etc)...maybe, but I don't know that that's really wise...having separate organizations for separate tasks makes for a more resilient system.

It is just that, you know, there are 4 or 5 very known and annoying trolls that are a bit aggresive in this forum and constantly insult those that think btc is not a ponzy scam. What is really wierd is that they use their time and effort creating new accounts and opening discussions with the plain intention to let you know that you are not selling your bitcoins because your are just an idiot.
Is there something behind the trolling or are just idle people?
I agree OP...and it's not just here. I don't know if it's that the subject is money and that's what brings out the strangest inappropriate behavior from people who would never act that way in real life (sober) or the cognitive dissonance arising from the deeply held belief that money must be issued by governments, but what ever it is, it is really weird. Is someone bankrolling theses weirdos? I doubt it. That said, a good lesson to learn (one that I'm still learning) is to not feed the trolls. It's more than a cute saying. Not responding is by far the best thing to do...although i must admit, I love your self moderated topic...moderating and locking are the best weapons against the trolls. I've put up with a ton of trolling elsewhere, so I did some digging to try to understand the mindset that drives people to act so rudely...I found this really insightful: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/forum/index.php?/topic/1028-article-i-found-insightful-on-trolling/ |

Should be in meta.
OP, remember, keeping things organized is how most of us like it.

Future price predictions threads, up or down, always require at least a little hubris. This speculation thread is a bit above average though...
If the market knew what would happen, the price would be stable...

I just have a funny feeling that if bitcoin's price keeps falling and difficultly keeps rising that alot of miners including myself will stop mining and goto alt coins instead. The difficulty did drop recently but the price of Mining vs the cost of electricity to some that don't have it free will cause negative profits. I know I will get some hate posts or just be ignored, but I can just fell it coming. Also think this is caused by alot of businesses mining that have hug amounts of mining power. And no I don't do the solo thing I use p2pool but that's not the point.
Yes. This is what bitcoin is designed to do. It is exactly how bitcoin was intended to work:
- snip -
I anticipate there will never be more than 100K nodes, probably less. It will reach an equilibrium where it's not worth it for more nodes to join in. The rest will be lightweight clients, which could be millions.
At equilibrium size, many nodes will be server farms with one or two network nodes that feed the rest of the farm over a LAN.
- snip -
If the network becomes very large, like over 100,000 nodes, this is what we'll use to allow common users to do transactions without being full blown nodes. At that stage, most users should start running client-only software and only the specialist server farms keep running full network nodes, kind of like how the usenet network has consolidated.
- snip -
The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate.
- snip -
This is the kind of post that would get tips in the old days. Got @ChangeTip Danny? |

Continue converting a small amount of dollars every 2 weeks...the only thing that'll be different is that I'll get more BTC
