I think google enjoys being a powerful company.

The thing about America, is if anyone threatens the USD, we invade. Google is a company, all they have to do is arrest, and seize.

It would be foolish if they made a g-coin.

If that, they all trade in gold flakes.

Zimbabwe would be the worst thing for bitcoin, most live out in the motherfuckin boonies and probably have only seen a 1995 computer in some store that's a 5 month walk to get to.

Yes, I'm saying Zimbabwe is to poor for us to want them to be the first country to adopt bitcoin.

The companies listed on the site, facebook, instagram, yahoo, people like these services.

Mtgox will be gone when something better comes along. I don't think I ever seen a more hated company by the public. The only thing mtgox has is a domain name that's recognizable I think that a company can build a mtgox for less than a million dollars and make it 10000% better. And make it free to trade for the first 6 months, that's the end of mtgox.

Goodbye mtgox.


As for 1 billion... no maybe their monthly income X 12 X 5.. or 5 year income up front.

Wire transfer fee.

Can we have amount of traffic?
Where is this traffic coming from?

I read that somewhere else, it fails to mention the fact that 32000 houses can be powered in America, but bitcoin isn't only mined in America.

And if it was, it is only using 0.02% of our power supply.

Doubt that will work ^^ there is a reason they want a utility bill, you're not paying someone's $450 mining rig power bill every month, its kind of stuck to the address. Your phone you can have at the address, and not live there.

Though their staff could just be looking and signing off names.

Why not get a notarized signature of the guy whos name is on the bill saying you live there?

Not quite, it would be like having a debit card linked to your bank, and someone coming into your un-open safe, taking your debit card, copying it, then you just putting a lock on your safe and your spare debit card back inside the locked safe.
He still has the unlocked debit card.

Your private key pretty much makes your wallet. If they have your key, they can re-create your wallet and load your coins to themself.

Gox is signing up thousands of new members daily and they said over 20k the first few days of April.


It will go back up

Wrong me, like most people I'm sure when they first started bitcoins when they were less than $15, bitcoins was a joke, mere speculation. Everyone has lost coins.. Now valued at hundreds of dollars that no one gave two shits about because it was only $15 and you had a lesson learned.

BTC-E is doing like 4M a day in trades of litecoin, I don't think your petition is going to stop mtgox from making hundreds of thousands of dollars a day extra. Any CEO should be fired if they deny those profits because someone on some forums thinks its a bad idea.

Hey man, good luck hopefully its secure 

bump less than 1/3 of a bitcoin now ^_^

Alfred Nobel patented ballistite in 1887 whilst he was living in Paris. His formulation was composed of 10% camphor and equal parts of nitroglycerine and collodion.[4] The camphor reacted with any acidic products of the chemical breakdown of the two explosives. This both stabilized the explosive against further decomposition and prevented spontaneous explosions. However, camphor tends to evaporate over time, leaving a potentially unstable mixture.[5]

Nobel's patent specified that the nitrocellulose should be "of the well-known soluble kind". He offered to sell the rights to the new explosive to the French government, but they declined, largely because they had just adopted Poudre B. He subsequently licensed the rights to the Italian government, who entered into a contract, on 1 August 1889, to obtain 300,000 kilogram of ballistite; and Nobel opened a factory at Avigliana, Turin.[6]

The Italian Army swiftly replaced their M1870 and M1870/87 rifles, which used black powder cartridges, to a new model, the M1890 Vetterli, which used a cartridge loaded with Ballistite.

As Italy was a competing Great Power to France, this was not received well by the French press and the public. The newspapers accused Nobel of industrial espionage, by spying on Vieille, and "high treason against France". Following a police investigation he was refused permission to conduct any more research, or to manufacture explosives in France. He therefore moved to San Remo in Italy, in 1891, where he spent the last five years of his life.[7]
Patent infringement claim against Great Britain

Meanwhile, a government committee in Great Britain, called the "Explosives Committee" and chaired by Sir Frederick Abel monitored foreign developments in explosives. Abel and Sir James Dewar, who was also on the committee, jointly patented a modified form of ballistite in 1889. This consisted of 58% nitroglycerin by weight, 37% guncotton and 5% petroleum jelly. Using acetone as a solvent, it was extruded as spaghetti-like rods initially called "cord powder" or "the Committee's modification of Ballistite", but this was soon abbreviated to cordite.

After unsuccessful negotiations, in 1893 Nobel sued Abel and Dewar over patent infringement and lost the case.[8] It then went to the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords in 1895 but he also lost the two appeals and the Nobel's Explosives Company had to pay the costs.[8] The claim was lost because the words "of the well-known soluble kind" in his patent were taken to mean soluble collodion, and to specifically exclude the water-insoluble guncotton.[8]

Cordite, ballistite and Poudre B continued to be used in various armed forces for many years, but cordite gradually became predominant.

Ballistite is still manufactured as a solid fuel rocket propellant, although the less volatile but chemically similar diphenylamine is used instead of camphor.

You clearly stated plastic as your card.. You already lose if I use cardboard and lamination.

If you ship at 5PM, make sure you stop accepting bitcoins at 4PM so you have time to collect coin, and package.

Well I'm in America, and here you cant patent an idea, without a script, a card with no name, anything... you have nothing.

I cant just pay money and patent...


"Any future project that will have 4D holographic projections"

And make royalties.

$130,000 for an idea... no

Ok so what comes with the patent other than the idea?

You realize this idea can be tweeked with 1 single thing and its now worth the price of how much it cost to patent.

Such as your patent states use of a plastic card, what if I had a cardboard laminated card... now I have a legit patent of my own.


I remember reading on a patent about gun powder, thermite, C4 or some sort of explosive.. I cant recall off the top of my head.. but he was making tons of cash until someone else patented the same exact product, but used 1 chemical difference and almost positive it was water. Now the original maker makes nothing, the new maker makes it all.

Online merchant, or in person merchant?

Online merchant, just don't send goods til payment is received, or use bitpay.
In person merchant, it will be hard to double spend, if possible.. cameras and cops.

My 3rd to last bank paid me $150 to open, my 2nd to last paid me $125, and my last bank paid me $25

Spending $400 to open a bank account (wallet) is counter productive I think.
