What's wrong with the 'Bitcoin Forum' link at the top, right below the title bar, or the 'home' button in the title bar for that matter?
It's at the top, that's what's wrong.

The "home" keyboard button works too, but I never remember to use it.

But on that note, wouldn't it be interesting if someone devised a forum where you have to had 1 BTC for every post you made?  You wouldn't have to send it to anyone, just prove that you had it, either by sending a particular token amount of BTC from that address (i.e. 0.0004857), or by signing a message with the private key associated with it.  Then, if your post count is 10, and you only have 10 BTC at that address, you can't make another post until you put more BTC into that address.

I wonder if the quality of posts would rise if such a system were implemented?
So you would have to delete posts in order to cash out?

Request for a Bitcointalk.org link at bottom of the page for any page of bitcointalk.org.

Could this be fulfilled?
That would be cool, but what I did was just create an easily accessible bookmark that I could poke to return to the beginning of the forum.

Do you think the ones with the tail have sturdier soldering? I ruined all my 16x > 16x's because of bad solder jobs.
Not really sure, they mostly seem the same. The ones with the tail are the newest of the lot though.

Bitcoiners you (almost) ran us out of funds again.  I will post some stats this evening but we passed the 25,000 BTC mark.  25,000 bitcoins in two weeks.  Our clients rock!  I think we need need to set up some promotion for the customer who sells us the 100,000th bitcoin.
How about a huge flashing banner ad across all the pages on the site? Grin just kidding of course



I'm glad most of the internet has gotten rid of that shit, or maybe it's just my ad blocker working correctly.
828  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: [ANNOUNCE] Electrum - a new thin client on: July 11, 2012, 11:22:21 PM
The rest of my post is about making the wallet act as a decentralised seed for downloading the client.  Or at least every (or some) wallets act as torrent seed on on I2PSnark - (http://www.ghacks.net/2007/06/06/anonymous-bittorrent-with-i2psnark/).  So the ability to obtain an electrum client is taken away from central servers. 
How do you update it and ensure that all the versions are consistent? You can run your own server, too.

But you aren't poor.
So you are, and you're butthurt about it? Get off your ass and do some work and don't be poor then. Don't bitch to us about it.

Free advice: even though it sucks, working at the sanitation department pays big money, compared to most menial burger-flipping jobs.

If every Wii sold had a 3.5Gh/s mining ASIC inside it that drew negligible amounts of power, the resulting network security would be absolutely immense. If Megabox could pull off something like this, it would be epic.

I think the fool of a writer would get his ass kicked off of wikipedia at the bare minimum for using so goddamned many weasel words.
833  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buying Bitcoins with cash at a retail store on: July 11, 2012, 08:54:53 PM
This forum and its users have been very helpful to me as newbie learning about Bitcoins.  I have been mulling over an idea of making it possible for anyone to purchase Bitcoins at a retail location . 

The idea resolves around buying non refundable credit from a retail store. Something like Money Pak or something similar.  Unlike money Pak there would be no service charge for the purchase. Once the purchase was complete then you would go online with the code to complete your bitcoin purchases.

Questions:

1. Is there anybody or company offering the ability to purchase Bitcoin via cash transactions at  a retail store?
2. What are the advantages for offering this services?
3. What are the disadvantages for offering a service like this?
4. What would be a fair fee for offering such a services. At the present moment the service provider is charging 2% to 4% per transaction. So any fee charged would have to be on top of that fee.
5. Is it better to have your own Bitcoin client on your server or purchase bit coin as need from exchanges like Mtgox for security reasons.
1. Bitinstant.com is the most well known, but several other exchanges offer cash deposits a bank locations - notably Bitfloor. Bitinstant is the only one that can accept deposits at a retail location such as Wal-Mart.
2. Should be obvious, you can be anonymous if you want to, and it is very fast.
3. You can't sit on your ass at home and push a few buttons to make it work - you have to drive somewhere.
4. Until a competitor or 3 come along, you are stuck with the fees they charge.
5. You can do both, it depends on whether you are capable of securing your machine as well as they are theirs.

I want to know who has Al the Alpaca's .011BTC. That was his facet money. Don't get the Alpaca upset, for I see he's starting to leave droppings on threads he dislikes.  Shocked

~Bruno~

The network has it, in fees. Sad

I don't even know you. A quick Google served that up in seconds. You made it publicly available via these forums. I was just taking a guess.

You only have to ask, politely as you say.
Also, #2, liar.

Your google is broken. Either that, or maybe you need to learn how to use it properly.

He kept saying my Dwolla ID don't work.
I said that the number is NOT a phone number, and he kept assuming it is a phone number.
