Oh ya youve been really helpful and clear in the forum but it was just a little confusing in the "how to" to make the claim code. Maybe it just needs to be more dummy proof over all because its clear how to do it in the "how to" it was just a little annoying for my friend.

Hey man, just checkin back in with the project. I was helping a buddy of mine setup up a fund and i was reminded with a difficulty i was having on the process.

What sort of hindered me was the claim bounty code. For some reason i thought it was something you had to make before and that i lost it. Maybe make it a little clearer that you make the claim code right there in the direct message to the bot.

As long as there is profit to be made, the investors will flock to you. Maybe just tweaking the idea a little bit to attract more people, instead of just making it a special occasion type of thing. For example, maybe the site could also do bitcoin donation buttons for gamers that would link them back to the site for donations or not.

I just uploaded my video of tetris-bsd. This is a really exciting project, hopefully it can be the twitch killer.
Have you thought about crowdfunding and issuing shares for investors?

Hello im interested in testing out this site for you just gotta install some kinda opensource screen recorder. It would be interesting if there was some kind of recording and streaming functionality, i would give a micro payment in bitcoin for a service like that.

 I know you guys love your conspiracies but its completely irrelevant.

Reality Check: Grumpy Cat has a higher approval rating than congress and doge is now the face of a currency and is officially more official than the founding fathers.
 
Internet memes are just as much a decentralized crowd developed phenomena as Bitcoin, except bitcoin fails to capture the imagination of the masses.

I think theres just too much no brainer thinking going on. All the innovators are looking for the next low hanging fruit to pluck instead of keeping their eyes on the real prize(BTC_BTC).

Re: Imagine the pop when Amazon finally is replaced by a DAC with bitcoin as its reserve currency....

1: Miners mine in giant pools to get the best reward rate

2: Traders, For the most part, are Dumb and prone to manipulation resulting in selling off coins with small price drops. 



On a positive note, Satoshi will inevitably hail in the permanent revival of cryptography as a whole



TL:DR; It's kinda sad how beautiful ideas can die.

This has been debunked like over 9000 times. Theres nothing you can do with bitcoin that you can do a lot easier with a fiat currency that you have the printing presses for.

We need a terminology to describe bitcoin enlightenment. All of the biggest proponents of bitcoin all have gone through this phase where their entirety was consumed with the pursuit of knowledge of bitcoin. From what ive seen everyone that has gone through this enlightenment goes through it in phases.

First: they hear about bitcoin and just brush it off

Second: they hear about bitcoin again and then they read the satoshi paper, this is when they catch the bitcoin bug

Third phase: depending on the person to various degrees their lives get consumed with the pursuit of knowledge for bitcoin

Fourth phase: After they realize bitcoin is now their higher calling, it redefines their existence. They try to integrate bitcoin in their lives, eventually they make it a full time pursuit. In this phase Andreas goes from a little known security expert to the world renowned Andreas the bitcoin ambassador. He goes from virtually unknown to someone with a legacy. This is proof bitcoin will build legacies and disrupt the world, because we are already seeing the power it has to change the lives of the early adopters.

Here's an example of Andreas talking about how he was bitten by the bug:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW_wYvZ1eZg

In the beginning of this video he talks about how he (1) brushed off bitcoin when he first hear about it. After he read the (2) satoshi paper he was (3) consumed 18 hours a day for 4.5 months just reading about everything he could with bitcoin. During this time he lost 25 pounds and didnt eat or sleep all that much. Eventually he is able to (4) integrate bitcoin into his life and makes it a full time job.

In several videos, Vitalik briefly describes a similar process he went through.

Actually, this enlightenment process sounds like the death and rebirth experience that men in shamanistic cultures go through in a coming of age ritual.

the fud never stops eh? something seriously wrong with this place.

I just wanted to start a thread for my best buddy and business partner, Vince. Yesterday he had a seizure he most likely wont be completely coming back from. The doctors havent given us any good news yet, but im still hopeful.

Vince is a prodigy programmer who started programming when he was 5 years old. The things he does with computers amazes me. I will forever respect him as the technical genius and artist that he is.

Vince and I had known each other for 3 years, we had several projects in the works where he was going to be the main programmer. We just started going full time in the bitcoin space, we had dreams of making it big and being in the very center of it for years to come.

This is a reminder to everyone that everything in this world can be taken in an instant. Just try and make the best of it while you can.

I look at bitcoin as gold 2.0 and the future of banking because after holding my value in bitcoin for two years ive made 10,000 percent on my investment and there is nothing that can offer me reward like that in traditional banking cults.

fewcoins takes bitcoin because he knows he'll hold it when the graph is going vertical, otherwise the only reason to cash out to fiat immediately is so you can spend it. Remember folks: you cant buy hard drugs and hookers with bitcoin yet, studies have shown the most popular way to spend btc at the moment is in donations to charities.

 There are also studies which found that people that actually have 1+ btc of crypto currency tend not to spend it, they are saving it longterm. What fewcoins doesnt understand is that store of value is just one very important property of currency and bitcoin is great at it.

If fewcoins understood the potential in cryptocurrency, he wouldnt be talking this way.

If he looked at BTC as a longterm store of value and invested heavily, 2 years ago, hed be a millionaire. Im sure that's about the only thing he understands about Bitcoin and hes kicking himself for not having been taught the discipline of saving money.

This figure is more worst case senario than anything. Its the lowest number you can really shoot out there. The potential is hundreds of trillions in market cap, considering the finance industry as a whole parasites 20 percent of the world's wealth.

What i think you meant was, "Because there's a high chance that you'll lose money short term investing in bitcoin."
Since you're so short sited Ill revise what i wrote; "In the long-term, there is no risk in investing in freedom enabling tools."
'
Of course your gonna lose money in the short term.

You need to remember that when youre talking to someone that may be playing with the idea of investing in bitcoin they almost always mean longterm. If the person was trying to play the market short term they wouldnt be asking you the question.

These discussions are always long term

Greed has run rampant and people have lost site of open source software philosophy.

Sometimes I like to daydream about a bitcoin community with the same altruistic motivation as satoshi himself, maybe we would have a philosophy sub-forum to discuss these ideas.



I believe the philosophical basis is the most important asset to bitcoin success. When i introduce bitcoin to people , one of the things that really blows their minds is the realization that the philosophy of computer currency goes back 60 years, it just took a certain level of technology to implement it. From my experience, the philosophical basis of crypto currency gives bitcoin great value.


I think its about time we had a philosophy of  open source software sub-forum, where we could all atleast remind eachother about the strong philosophy on which bitcoin is built. If we had such a place to discuss ideas, we wouldn't be complaining about no one building the infrastructure, we would be building the philosophy for which the infrastructure could be built, something we still don't have to this day.

thanks.

Bitcoin is a tool that enables ever greater degrees of freedom. Can you provide any evidence as to why its bad to invest in tools that allow exponential increases of freedom to exist?

Were automobiles a bad investment because they allowed you more freedom in travel?

Was it bad to invest in computer development in the 80s when no one could see a future for it besides for visionaries like steve jobs?


Bitcoin is so disruptive its going to set a new standard for disruptive technology. I feel bad for you that you don't understand the very basic fundamentals behind it. 

 

Its not gambling when you're investing in freedom.

Dont ever forget, "Freedom is always a good bet."
