Hey, it seems like getting out of the newbie box is going to take awhile.

I'm working on some BitCoin related websites that'll launch as soon as I acquire some more coin and find an area to promote it.

What kind of projects are you working on, or is it secret?

Not secret!

I've ran a 'Free Second Life Linden' site since 2007, and I'm basically going to open one up for BitCoins soon. Where users do things like watch youtube videos/ads, facebook LIKE pages, complete offers, register to sites, etc. and earn BitCoin. In addition to BitCoins users could also withdraw the earned rewards to Second Life, or redeem for amazon gift cards, etc. The site is done, minimum withdrawal is 0.01 BitCoins. I just need to buy/trade for more. Ive traded $L for some, but need more to be on the safe side. On average I'd assume most users would only be able to earn like 0.25 BTC, more only if they put in a lot of effort in 'Tasks'.

Other sites I was thinking about were an online casino where users could compete in skill based games to see who gets the highest amount of points. I'd also like to try my hand at a marketplace.

Those are probably the best three ideas I have. The codes all done from previous projects. Ive had lots of random virtual currency websites over the past few years, so its basically just reworking them for BitCoins and seeing if theres any interest.


A Bitcoin online casino or poker tables? That would be awesome. Id own some fools at holdem.

I just wanted to put my idea out there but, isn't losing faith in Bitcoin because of hacked exchanges basically the same as losing faith in the dollar because of some robbed banks? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct, and I have lost all faith in the dollar and the banking system as a whole, but not because of banks being robbed, but because the greedy and uncaring nature of the central banks and goverment towards its taxpayers makes me nauseous. After giving them huge bailouts because they are "to big to fail" they tighten thier lending and put a choke hold on american citizens. Thats why im looking for an alternative currency. Unfortunatly in our society you have no choice but to use the dollar to buy things. I just want to make sure im making the right decision before I use my "dollars" to buy mining hardware.

I want to thank all of you for responses. I might have sounded a little bitter in my original post, but I just want to make sure im making the right decision to support the mining community. I'm gonna do some more research and see where it takes me.

I want to believe that Bitcoin is strong and will rebound, but its really hard to have faith in it when recently it has been hacked for a huge sum of coins. http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?section_id=771&doc_id=231208&f_src=internetevolution_gnews and now the most attractive feature of Bitcoin is now nule and void. http://gizmodo.com/5824503/anonymous-bitcoin-purchases-arent-actually-anonymous You are not anonymous on the Bitcoin network and that makes it very unattractive to me. Im so glad I did not spend hundreds of dollars on Bitcoin when it obviously is not secure or anonymous like it claims. I really wanted to be apart of this. I think its a great idea and it the future of currency. Can someone please convince me to look past these major flaws.
