That was a solution for me, and not for Bitcoin talk.

My suggestion was for a third part site to provide redirection of the sites of spamming promoting sponsors, and that could go to BT sponsors. This may provide a disincentive for spam promoters, and could provide some small benefit to BT,

I'm such a Luddite - I think it is foolish to carry contactless cards, let alone use them. I sent all mine back and use standard cards.

 Why risk somebody stealing your Bitcoin when you shake hands with a thief if you used this implant idea?

Posting spammers are a real nuisance. I've had to close my guestbooks, and make my forum an invitation only one.

One possible solution would be a site that changes links for sponsors who support spammers.

OK apologies - I made two mistakes. I meant to post XBT - that's the abbreviation on xe.com, and of course, I got the Satoshi figure wrong. I hadn't allowed for the conversion. Serves me right for posting before I had had enough coffee.

As I mentioned, I like the use of Bitcents, that seems to fit the bill, and answers my original question - thanks for suggesting that.

I like Bitcent - that is nice and descriptive, and easy to remember.

There are 100 million Satoshi to one Bitcoin, and one Bitcoin is worth about £650 today. So if I want to sell something for £6.50 then I can quote the pice as XBC 0.01 or as SAT 6,500,000. Both of those are pretty awkward. How about having a unit such as a kBIT which is a thousandth of a Bitcoin, my price would then be kBIT 65 - I believe this is easier for non-Bitcoin potential users to recognise.

ps. I hope I've got the correct maths in those figures.

Most boards seem to lock "old" threads, and If the content becomes topical again, they ask members to start a new thread and link to the old one.

The question is - how old is old. I would suggest one month without any activity would be enough to lock the thread. This is if referencing dead threads becomes the way to revitalise the topic.

It gives people a chance to spam their signatures.

I've got that leet post count entry - I can't remember if that stays for a while, or if it's just for one number - hence this post.

OK - I get it - it's just for a count of 1337

Bitcoin - intelligent money

It's called Visa.

Thank goodness we are getting out of the EU so that we can start to import healthier Russian food.

At last someone has stated the obvious. If you have 5 accounts supporting 5 different campaigns. You can run a whole load of conversations, and get a lot more than 5 times the earnings. Especially if your posts are useless.

I thought cum lauda was the feminine of cum laude.

That's an interesting idea, and I agree it would be better than a second mempool. Maybe a miner could get advertising revenue from ads posted on the site for supporting the concept. This would provide alternative revenue, and may make free transactions sustainable.

I think it's time to get out of fiat currencies and stocks. They are pumped up artificially. Check out the various physical metals and the types of investment. Gold and silver coins in the UK are free of VAT and CGT, but they have a slight premium as a result. Platinum has not been doing so well, and isn't traded as freely. Copper is an interesting speculation for the future as the price of other metals increase.

My suggestion for speculative investment is silver coins. You are unlikely to lose over the medium term, and it may offer a higher percentage increase over gold. They may also become a currency as fiat currencies fail.

A cashless society would cause people to seek other payment methods, and that includes Bitcoin. If Amazon didn't embrace those methods, it is more likely to damage Amazon than Bitcoin imho.

I thought nuclear weapons were old hat, isn't the future with Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons?

Does it matter?

Isn't that the truth.
