Slovenia is a nice country. I have very good memories from there  Cool

So, is there an API?

I can grab that preview image, upload it to vectormagic.com and I get a vector image...

So I assume there isn't a TL;DR version... Tongue Maybe I will read it later. I gave a quick look and it seems like a global plan for "the community". You are trying to organize people... Is that it?

Cool

@kjj - I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Another bold statement... I will check back tomorrow.  Cool

Which government? Do you think it would all be over if only ONE government started regulating it?

No, of course not. But let's say the US government approves some law regarding virtual currencies that makes it really complicated for merchants in the US to accept bitcoins. The law could also be applied to US exchanges (they could forbid trading USD for bitcoins or demand higher fees).

Now tell me, in this scenario, how much is a bitcoin worth a year from now?

So any reviews?

Again, i'm not saying they are a scam site. The site looks professional and it's creator might be honest. I just wouldn't trust the site because they do not have any real contact information directly listed on their site and the domain is registered with fake data.

The site is a ripoff from flattr. The owner seems easy to contact and an honest guy. But I agree, I would prefer a real contact information. He posted in some other thread... here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37190.0

Also, by running it, you're benefiting the network as a whole, by adding another "node" which processes and relays transaction.

I thought miners did this

Look, people asking for info on how to lose their BTC!  Cheesy

Why isn't it a good idea to keep the money at an exchange?
Oh i dunno... maybe... mybticoins? bitomat?

Let me rephrase it then. Someone said that exchanges are not good e-wallets. I was saying that there isn't much difference between keeping your money at an exchange or keeping it at an e-wallet.
871  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is the hottest eWallet right now? on: August 18, 2011, 08:42:33 PM
Why isn't it a good idea to keep the money at an exchange? CampBX, for example, just announced some cool features if you want to use it as an e-wallet. They have an API so someone could even write a custom client that doesn't take any disk space and just uses CampBX as a backend to process transactions.
872  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Camp BX - New Features Summary! on: August 18, 2011, 08:18:59 PM
Nice features Smiley Can you give us any numbers on what high volume is? Also, are there any news on Euro support?

You have my vote for the "best cute+funny bitcoin idea of the month".
874  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: State of TradeHill [Bitcoin.com Announcement] on: August 18, 2011, 02:17:07 PM
We know that Bitcoin.com is a big opportunity, and we're not taking it lightly. We really want to get this right. As such we're very keen on not repeating the mistakes of other wallet services and exchanges. In the past two months we've heavily invested into security, talent and infrastructure to make sure we stay the one major Bitcoin site without any security incidents.

I agree. Don't screw up  Cool I just signed up for the beta.

Maybe I should create my own hash function... Just in case  Cool

Ironically, being more argumentative and confrontational would probably gain this thread more attention.  Just look what happened with ixcoin; I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have taken off (such as it did) without all the haters repeatedly bumping that thread when it first showed up.

Also, 94%.  O_O

Well, 224 committers in 3 months is not bad at all. We just need more SE experts (apparently they don't hang around here much). Anyway, it should launch next week, at most.
877  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Physical Location that accepts bitcoin on: August 17, 2011, 09:40:14 AM
The Google Maps extension cannot be installed by the people ; it requires shell access to the server.
thank you for your contribution.


I'm sorry. I misread your post. I didn't know Magical Tux was in charge of the wiki. He can barely keep up with the requests for MtGox (and that is a paid job) so I assume that he has no time left for the wiki. Aren't there other admins?
878  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: first time transaction on Bitmarket.eu -> money gone? on: August 17, 2011, 09:36:12 AM

If you have no idea what blocks are I think you shouldn't be messing with Bitcoin and much less with exchanges.


I really hope this is not Bitcoin's future. I use euros and I have no idea how paper is impressed. Why does he have to know what is a block to use bitcoins?

daarsaars, your client is not connected to the network. Are you sure you are not behind any proxy or something? You can try to reinstall the client, but backup your wallet.dat file first. Otherwise your money will be lost forever.
879  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Profit next year? on: August 17, 2011, 07:43:54 AM
Not really, again it depends on how you value your bitcoins. Mining itself cost money (electricity + gpu card) so one has to constantly make sure that the mining done is worth the bitcoin investment. For example, if you believe that bitcoin will be valued more next year, mining (or buying) bitcoin as much as you can may be a sound investment because you'll profit more despite the cost of mining. However if you think the market will crash and people will eventually get bored with the Bitcoin fad, then selling the bitcoin as soon as you can mine them may be better. Who know if bitcoin will be worth 100 USD = 1 BTC or next to nothing by next year.

Well, the problem is the "if you believe part". Bitcoins are a high risk investment. I really mean high risk, as in tomorrow the price could double or halve and I wouldn't be surprised. Or the government could issue specific regulation for e-currencies and this would be all over.

But politics aside, if you can't make a reasonable prediction for tomorrow, how are you supposed to guess the price next year? It is completely random. But give it a shot if you can support the losses...
880  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Profit next year? on: August 17, 2011, 07:25:32 AM
I strongly advise you not to make investments that take more than 3/4 months to cover the initial price. No one knows what will happen. The ATI 7000 series will come out which will increase difficulty, maybe someone will create specific hardware for mining or maybe bitcoin price will sink.

4 months ago bitcoins were worth $1. 2 months ago they were worth $30. 10 days ago they were worth $6. Now they are worth $10. See my point?
