I think this kind of system could rock at payments for example between Africa and USA. Maybe some kind of LocalBitcoins ATM type solution could be used? Just needs a "node" at both ends. Africa Node takes local currency and exchanges to BTC - and vice versa. USA Node does the same. Bitcoins are moved in blockchain (or inside a 3rd party like LocalBitcoins service.) Maybe these relatively new P2SH / multisig escrow things could make this doable without trusted middleman.

@anduck, If you can't make it to 50 I can move you to the next payment period, but need you to update the signature first.
Updated. Thanks.

Welcome to the community. If you feel like going deeper, check out bitcoin community IRC channel at #bitcoin @Freenode network, too.
Good luck!

I've failed to write 50 posts during this month. If allowed, I'd still like to join for next month when I've more time to write on the forums.

Over 19 days here.... Too much I think. People really have too much spare time

How did this thread get so many posts? Obvious trolling.. If you want to talk real, don't do it in trolls' thread.

As usual, there are a lot of errors. I've not read it completely yet but the section about banning of Bitcoin... False stuff.

Yes, browser may affect. Get a usb-bootable Linux or so.. It's also recommended to use each address just once (to send coins out of the address.) Multiple deposits to the address is OK.

I am very sure that TradeFortress didn't sell his bitcointalk account.

You can adjust the miners fee (even when using blockchain.info web wallet (btw it's encouraged to NOT use web wallets because they're not as safe as local wallets.))
Miners fee will go to the miners. Miners fee is included in the block where the transaction is included. The miner gets the fee because he takes your transaction in to the block (and bigger the block gets, the probability for orphaning the block increases so miners must have incentive to include transactions.)
Bitcoin compared to banks has very low fees. Being decentralized doesn't mean it's free to use. Currently one can send transactions without a fee but it may take days or maybe never confirm. The fee for transactions is very low (0.0001 btc) - of course not for very small transactions.
Anyway, You can disable the miners fee but it may not be very wise (your transactions may never confirm.) Miners are parties who have hashing power and use it to solve Bitcoin blocks. Transaction gets its first confirmation when it's included in to the block. When a new block after this is found and propogated to the network, the new block is added on top of the blockchain - and now the block containing your transaction is in the second last block in the blockchain - therefore having 2 confirmations.

Whoa! How much hashing power are you going to add? Also, what solar panels are those, how much they cost and how powerful they are? Anduck the Goat says hi!

This depends a lot on where the ad will be. Without knowing it, I'd go with original.
Greetings from OTC!

I'm looking forward to see what kind of solution will be used. Though, I would use Bitcoin as the backing currency because 1) there are no hassle with fiat payment processors and 2) it helps the cryptocurrency infrastructure.

PayPal generally doesn't like Bitcoin (it's their competitor.) While they're 'banning' Bitcoin, I am sure PayPal very carefully considers what they will do with Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies). But currently they do freeze accounts who use PP in bitcoin<->fiat trades.

Also why isn't the source code released when the coin is launched? You could take the premine from block #1. In fact it could be released, the current date is there to allow some leeway for the head dev. Premine from block #1 - would that not be visible all over? We are a publicly accountable association in the least corrupted country in the world, operating with our real names. BTW the association gets a "premine" of 1/3 for national distribution for the Finnish citizens - there is little room for fraud in that though as the national distribution will be authenticated through government backed online ID system (TUPAS). I don't mean I think you wouldn't be open with the premine. What happens if/when not every finn claims the coins? Who gets the leftover?

Sounds interesting. I don't like IPOs though... Also why isn't the source code released when the coin is launched? You could take the premine from block #1.
