maybe they don't want people registering with names like: BitcoinManager, or SatoshiManager, BitcoinCreator, or something that could be deceiving to brand new newbies and use that to try and scam

Understood. Got it.

Hi folks,

I registered today and I tried to use the nickname 'satoshiXXX', and it was rejected because the nickname contained the word 'satoshi'.

Aren't we taking Satoshi Nakamoto admiration too far?

So this is making me wonder something now. At this rate of LTC generation, what would be a good Auto Payment Threshold? Currently I have it set to 10 since it has to be >1.00

10 LTC / 0.05 LTC a day = 200 days to receive a new payment

10 LTC * 3.5 $ per LTC = 35 $

You can get 0.05 LTC per day: http://www.wemineltc.com/usercalc.php

That's 18 dollar cents per day.

CPU bitcoin mining is not viable long time ago...

Still, may be you can give a try to alternative scrypt-based cryptocoins if you have access to a good bunch of cores and you don't pay the power bill.

The 1 billion market is ridiculous compared with other fiat or even commodities (yes, I know that btc is not a commodity...).

Time will tell, but I guess we are in the very infancy of the cryptocoins.

Right now, most of the people here consider investing in cryptocoins as a geek casino game. And probably you can win or loose with the same volatility.

Until a real set of services develop based only in cryptocoins and not in fiat, this will be a commodities market.

Sorry guys but I really doubt you can donate a car so easily in Spain. Just googling for a while it seems that you have to pay taxes anyway.

Selling the car for a lower quantity in fiat and paying the rest in BTC is illegal in Spain like in all European countries.

Still, I think this is an interesting topic:  how to buy things 'legally' in Europe with bitcoins? Anybody can help me?

Sounds to me like an unnecessary maturity test.
