Honestly, everyone's agreeing with this... I'm not sure why? Maybe they've never seen another forum with the like button... this is quite literally every sticky post on the forum:

Do you really want this on half the threads on bitcointalk?


Dear god...

<snip>

I think someone's misunderstanding what they are going for. Not a listing of people that have liked it, but simply something like:

193 People have Liked this post!
Even with just a little blurb under every single post, it gets to be a bit excessive. "1 person has liked this". Because people are gonna just like their own posts =/

Also, love this picture:

Say what you want about eBay.  When you are trying to sell some shippable crap it works better than Craigslist & Amazon

I was hoping for a better solution between the two. A more free and open ebay type auction site. Honestly, I could see a layout such as the silkroad surpassing ebay in the next 20 years.

But silkroad still charges fees. We need a marketplace that charges as LITTLE fees as possible... maybe a vendor one-time fee and then no "commission" fees

Hosting servers aren't free. It's pretty expensive to host servers. Honestly, I was thinking a market place with maybe 1-2% of fees of the TOTAL sale. Say you're processing $10MM, that's at least 100-200k to pay for servers and such. That's pretty reasonable imho.

Only if there is no back office.  It might be something like Craigslist though

A lot of small sellers run their business on EBay and they need some of EBay's tools

Erm? What? Hosting an API / creating a webapp isn't that expensive. I mean, if you're doing say $10MM in sales, estimate each seller is only selling say $1000. That's only supporting 100k sellers. Say there's 900k buyers (just trying to make the numbers even). That's only 1 million hits, if the average size of each page is a few kilobytes, and the average time on the size is around 20 pages, that's still a very small imprint. Would cost maybe $10k to host the servers. The other 90-190k can go to the cost of employees (maybe 40-70 employees for this sort of operation).

Edit: That's monthly figures by the way.

Honestly, energy drinks are really meh. Personally, I like straight caffeine pills to give me a boost. It's a much quicker up, and a better down imho.

I'd rather we don't add a 'like' or '+1' button, it contributes to the 'herd' mentality that plagues so many sites already. Plus at the end of the day it doesn't really add anything constructive to the site.

Exactly this -- THANK YOU!
965  Other / New forum software / Multi-quote button? on: May 29, 2014, 01:56:17 AM
I've noticed a lot of other forums have the ability to add a post to your quote. This way, if you want to quote a bunch of people and reply to them all at once, you can click the little + button by the multi-quote.

It'd be pretty nice to have this feature on the new forum software.

Similar to this image?



The tab that is open is people who has quoted me. The envelope beside it drops down the exact same way for PMs, and the last one just changes the theme of the site. Personally, I think we could use the last 2 in the new site.

Go mine on testnet, see how many coins you can rack up in a couple of weeks. Actually, there's more hash rate currently on testnet than there was on bitcoin back in 2009 / 2010. Honestly, mining 52k coins really wasn't that hard in 2009 / 2010 era. Someone with a laptop CPU could have mined that much. Owning 80-90% of the hashing power wasn't very uncommon.

Can you link a website please... I have tried testnet.com and test.net with no results Sad

Erm, testnet is the network that was developed for testing bitcoin like transactions for bitcoin. It's quite literally exactly like bitcoin, but testnet. Quite literally, change 1 value in your bitcoind software, and it should work with testnet.

Have nice time

You have two potential customers. Please at least contact us about it before just bumping your thread pointlessly.

It makes me question the actual validity of any of this.

If ebay fails as a business model it will fail because of outrages fees, a broken feedback system, or a competitor, not because of a currency.

I agree that ebay fees are outrageous, I mean check out this thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=596509.0

Honestly, I see ebay accepting bitcoin if it ever became mainstream. Adapt or die in this sort of situation. No company wants to just die.

They are not telling us what is going to be in the documentary. What they have told us is not very interesting.

Quote
What Comes Next Is the Future is a story about the internet, and how the shifting mobile landscape has drastically changed our industry. But it's also the story of how we've all changed as a culture and what we can look forward to in the future, as seen from the perspective those who've helped build and shape the web over the last 25 years.

What isn't interesting to you doesn't mean it's not interesting to someone else. Personally, I'd be deeply interested in seeing a video of those who founded http / site conventions talk about mobile platforms, cloud computing, and other ideas for the future!

The question is - can you politely correct someone's spelling without being thought of as a troll?

I believe the answer to that question is no. I have tried in the past and failed many times. I am a grammar nazi as well, but NO! I cant correct people's grammar!

A few days back, I suggested this feature: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=627768.0


Honestly, I think it's a great idea to implement into the new forum software.

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

 Holy shit! Thats a great idea! Why wasn't I made aware of that earlier!?! Is there any progress being made on it, such as development?

When the new forum software comes out, I'm fairly sure this will be part of it. So far, everyone seems to support the stackexchange method of doing things (where the OP chooses the modified text or not).

It was your post that actually made me want to start this thread. Thank you. Thanks to you, we have a great suggestion (taking the feature from stackoverflow).
And thank you for contributing with ideas towards the new forum software!

Also, speaking of the StackExchange method, I think some sort of punishment should be in place to discourage those who propose wrong/malicious edits.

I'd say treat any abuse of this sort of system the same as you'd treat PM abuse. Maybe add a "report this modification" button or something.

978  Other / New forum software / Re: Notification when you are quoted? on: May 28, 2014, 10:26:18 PM
You obviously need a very good messaging servive for this, I mean, like a dropdown-menu, or something at the sides with updates.

Right, below is a screenshot of something that already exists on another forum:



Beside it is the icon for a new mail event. The notifications have a red + number depending on how many times I was quoted, same thing with the envelope beside it (when I got more messages).
979  Other / Off-topic / Re: 250 Posts Reached! on: May 28, 2014, 10:22:24 PM
250 posts and less than 100 activity. Ever consider slowing down the amount of posting?  Roll Eyes

When they first put up the bounty, BTC was around $2-5. $20-$50k for custom forum software was pretty reasonable. But as it hit $1000 / per coin, $10MM for it just got a bit excessive.

But it's a bounty, it was set. It'd be the same as scamming if they were to change the the deal.
