That is the thing about geodesic domes, I am pretty sure that the angles are not uniform throughout the whole dome.

I have been setting up a vanity address with 1BTC for my neices and nephews for their birthdays.

I just e-mail their parents a card they can print out with the public and private key in the card. Adding in the e-mail what they can do with it.

I have been using CampBX, mainly because I had money in my Dwolla account before MtGox stopped taking it.

They seem to be the lowest price per BTC but they also have a very low volume so if you make a huge purchase it would not be the lowest price anymore.

This.

And work toward converting your personal economic life to buying and spending bitcoin, instead of using fiat.

Welcome to Speculation.

It would be cool to see a ticker showing the name of the latest alt coin that has been created in the past hour or if necessary, the last 5 minutes.

I was only speculating on price. That is why I posted in the speculation forum. There have been several other threads about this topic in other subforums so it is not like I am giving any clue to terrorists. The media itself says Bitcoin is used to fund drugs and terrorists (however untrue that may be).

It is not a question of whether or not the USD has funded past attacks, they would point out that it is the anonymity of Bitcoin that allowed them to pull it off.

I agree that it is likely that the terrorists are not using Bitcoin as it still is mainly a computer geek currency, but our whole effort is to make it mainstream so that anyone can use it.

I think my personal opinion is that if the attack was 9/11 huge then I would trade my BTC for gold. If it was a Boston bombing type of size I would hold, maybe even buy into the short term panic.

Hypothetically, if there were a boston bombing or 9/11 type of attack on the US or another country and they found out that all of the funding was through Bitcoin, what do you think would happen to the price afterwards?

You know you would have the talking heads on the networks talking about how evil Bitcoin is with the usual "something has to be done" type of message. There would be knee jerk reactions aplenty.

Would this drop the price? Or would the publicity, however bad, raise the price?

The American dream of a house with a white picket fence and a car in the garage.

It is basically an ideal of having a productive society where you work to pay for your house, you have a car that you can use to get to work and a fence to signify ownership of your own piece of the world.

Unfortunately the banks took the dream and turned the house into your chains for your slavery to working for the bank and making payments on your car. And the fence became your prison walls where you are supposed to stay put and be a good citizen.

There was a guy on here about a year ago guaranteeing a 7% return every week with his company. I forgot his username, seemed pretty legit.

I am sorry for the delay. I had hired someone to do the front end who assured me it would only take 2 weeks. He took a lot longer, I gave him some flexibility with the schedule since he was doing decent work for a pretty good price and there was no big rush.

He actually did get me to about the 80% point and then dropped off the face of the earth with other projects.

So I have taken over the front end work which for me has been a slight learning curve. The front end is written in extJs which I have used before and understood it on the project I was working on, but I had to read through all of his code to get caught up and back on track.

I am writing everything from scratch so I am not using WordPress or any CM system so that it will be very flexible and I can build it the way I want it instead of trying to push a square peg into a round hole.

Right now I am at the point on the front and back end to be able to sign up, set up your Bitcoin address, create a pool, all of the things needed for editing the pool, can create a proposal for the pool. Each group can view draft proposals, current proposals up for vote and past proposals.

The voting is working on the back end but I need to finish that on the front end.

Once you can go from creating an account to being able to vote I will open it up for Beta. It will still be rudimentary since I would like to add several other things but the basic functionality will be a good start for Beta.

I am posting this more of a motivator for myself to get back on track

Here is my idea:

  Create a way for one person to pose a problem, or a challenge or something that needs people to accomplish it.

Then people with bitcoins can look through these problems and if they agree that they too want to be involved, they can pledge their own bitcoins towards that problem.

Everyone will be able to see how much is pledged toward the various problems and as the pledges reach a certain large amount, then people with solutions will start to pose their solutions to the problem.

The people who pledged toward that problem will be able to vote for the solution with their bitcoins.

If enough people vote with their bitcoins toward a particular solution, the solution gets funded and the problem gets solved. If not, people get their funds back and wait for the next solution to be proposed.

I call it BitPools

The Feds have a very good PR department.

Once your room is secured release some deadly toxins or air born disease into the room and never enter that room ever again.

After seeing how well the US treats online businesses I am thinking that establishing my business in the US is not the best way forward.

Are there decent web hosting companies based in Hong Kong that take Bitcoin? And what are the hurdles of starting a business there? Are there residency requirements?

Or why use any country, what if I just had a server in a different country every month? A nomadic server with no permanent home. The only permanent thing would be the domain name.

Before the bubble it was a common scenario for stability to be fuel for the rocket.

The best way to come up with a betting investing strategy is to create a bunch of investment charts showing lines going a certain way and then saying that when a line does X, then the market will do Y.

If you convince enough people of that, they will do Y when they see X.

Then when you instead do Z while they do Y, making money you remind them that it did X but it was part of some bigger pattern of XYZ which you knew about because you are so smart with patterns. So the next time they see that...just do Z. Then you do the opposite.

And on and on...and now everyone knows all these crazy patterns and buys these tools and make money on selling the tools and teaching the patterns and coming up with new patterns...

Fortunately most Bitcoin traders do not follow those patterns so they just come up with their own strategies and the patterns become irrelevant. Until someone convinces enough people that the patterns exist.

That could be a possibility via BitPools.
