961  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Thai Baht (฿) has always been the most frequently used Bitcoin symbol right? on: October 04, 2012, 02:18:45 AM
Luke-Jr keeps changing it to some weird Russian symbol nobody uses on Wikipedia. It probably shows up as the Baht for him or something.
Um, no, I changed it to the symbol every major Bitcoin website uses - including bitcoin.org, bitcoincharts, and these forums - at least in their favicon: B⃦
This is the standard Unicode symbol used for the B with double vertical strokes.

The forum has BTC using some CSS (embedded fonts) to workaround the fact that major fonts don't render it as nice, but it is the same symbol.

Anyways, we generally use the Thai Baht for Bitcoins, right?

฿ <- that right there
You must be confusing Bitcoin with Silk Road.

The B double vertical strokes is a Unicode symbol?  What is its code?  I can't find it on any list of Unicode symbols (maybe I'm not looking in the right place?).

I kinda like Ƀ

Is this part of standard fonts?

If it is, I like it and let use it!
Yes - which is why we need to use it. There was an effort to design a bitcoin logo around it a few months back...something like a BTC50 bounty (of which I pledged BTC10). There was even a pretty good design, but, nothing really got a foothold.

I would be more worried about corruption if bitcoin value exploded...which I don't think it will do without TBF. I see it as a catch 22...

If Bitcoin went up in price and adoption increased while privacy remained unimproved, would that be bad for Bitcoin? Seems like that's the agenda...

Good investigating. Someone needs to build a physical device that generates address/key pairs offline so you can take a Polaroid of it and stick it in a safety deposit box.

The only reason that pirate has come forward today...

Yup. That is the best proof of anything I've seen on this forum in a while...
970  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Postcoin - Distributed mail postal system on: September 19, 2012, 12:29:12 AM

Let me explain briefly the way forward a completely decentralised mail system that would also act as a system to make public to everyone our tracking so that will become possible to trace the locations in space and time of everyone that is willing to participate in it to benefit from it and help making it more possible and useful for others.

We would have a client app for our trackable devices that would use a p2p network to calculate and tell the necessary participants the best route possible - stattistically and using intelligent algorithms - for a packet to be delivered telling the participants the next place to deliver it so that you receive a fraction of the donations made that day to the system according an evaluation made by the system of the effort and time provided by your service relatively to the other ones.

Everything that moves may for that matter use a bitcoin address to be tracked in space and time.

Imagine you could put a very cheap device on everything that moves, including yourself, that would track it puting its coordinates in space and time! and tell all other nodes all the time.

I am trying to think if we could use bitcoin, namely encoding such information into the blockchain for a very small cost, or if we would need some other protocol and network for that.

It would be like the sender putting a geolocation (gps coordinates and time) and the system helping your item all the time for it to get to its destination.

The the mobile app would use a p2p network of the sort of bitcoin or somehow using bitcoin, maybe, to calculate the best route possible according to the routine routes of the participants and devices.

The participants and devices would communicate with each other to make their location in space and time! public to all others all the time, and help each moving part of it reach the desired places with optimised routes.

I am still thinking about it all and there is a lot that is needed to be sorted out, but eventually we will have a very efficient way of posting things that will be a bit like geocaching and will be free from conventional post service.

We need it to optimise the reliability of their users and their queuing places and the probability that each item will get to the desired place at the required time.

Imagine how much liberty that would provide.

Soon, doctors will loose much of their power to control us forcing us to take drugs we really don't want to take and prevent us from taking the ones we really want.
I have suffered so much from such and pitty so much the "institutionalised" people that see this is possibly the greatest relief and liberation the world will see after bitcoin, that is coming to stay, for sure.

What I also have in mind is for people to cooperate to have their ids - that is willing to participate in such a public endeavour - protected by each other by proving they were in such and such place at such and such time, and not at any other, while providing for optimization in the way things shall reunite.

There is still a lot to think about it, but I definetly see light at the end of the tunnel.

Suposedelly, the system would compensate you in a very fair way for your participation and for making it all possible, and there would be a poll for donations that would then be redistributed in such a fair way, instead of other forms of payment that are not so willfully.

Doing what we could and found possible, we would get compensated in a fair enough way.

I call it postcoin so that we differentiate such project and ideas from bitcoin. A bit of housekeeping.
But eventually, we will be able to use bitcoin and its logic to extend to such endeavours and intents.

Hope you like it, or part of it Smiley

Please consider sending this message or your own version of it or of part of it to the right place everytime you take drugs, are forced to do so or think about sex. Grin
It will bring about fruits, making it blossom.

I think you need a new doctor Smiley I can get you the name of a few good ones if you'd like Smiley

Your idea is interesting...I'm not sure it would be in need of the Bitcoin protocol and associated proof of work though...

One of the guys on here has a service for setting up a virtual machine connected to the Internet for rent...pretty slick idea.
972  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are you using to track your BTC balance over different services? on: September 17, 2012, 10:22:54 PM
If you have all the addresses, you can use the iOS app I wrote to keep track:

973  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Project will be making a major announcement in September on: September 14, 2012, 04:49:37 AM



Love that site. Hadn't seen that before.

So, not much of an announcement to be made then? Didn't Gavin issue a somewhat deprecating post on the topic?  Either way, these guys are the true revolutionaries here...the devs and the business folks...it's fun to watch.
974  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If Bitcoin is going to succeed, ... on: September 13, 2012, 01:27:07 AM
Very cool. Enabling others to stand on their own...we need more of this.

...would have to drop the pseudoanonymity to build a reputation though...
A brand can build a reputation. For example, "nanotube from bitcointalk.org" is a pseudonymous brand that has built a good reputation.
True. Create a new identity that is unconnected to a real world identity and make the new identity public. Maybe have a bonding agency to vet new identities and arbitrate disputes for a fee...

Your 20/20 hindsight is adding exactly 0 value to this thread. OMG, you must be trolling Smiley

And so is does your archaic call for violence. -0- Value in a modern society.

Which BTW would only keep this disgusting and vicious cycle going on for ever.

How the fuck do you guys think the planet got to the state of which it's in now in the first place?

You're seeing it with your very own eyes, and Bitcoin is essentially modeling everything that has happened in the "real world", at an incredibly fast pace.

If we are to change the planet, we must do it by being different, not by following the same old tired rituals of the past.

Instead of falling for the petty pits of deceit and evil, we must transcend as a community, and push for a much better future...

If not then what is the point of all this?

I think the fact that Bitcoin is inspiring the same type of behavior as real money is a good sign that Bitcoin is replicating money...I would love for society to stop being evil, but, if Bitcoin didn't inspire things like theft, deceit, etc, would it be useful at all?

Irreversibility and relative anonymity....not likely to bring out the best in people...

Or, conversely, might bring out the best people to the forefront of visibility (since people may end up competing for good reputation).
Hasn't yet, as far as I can tell...would have to drop the pseudoanonymity to build a reputation though...

I'm doing my God Damned best, but my last efforts have all been for not. I found a strong connection between Pirate and Global Oil Fund, but all those posts have been removed.

I am not very happy now.

Who removed them?
