I'm learning ZF2 to pad out my resume. If you have an idea for a very simple script or module, I can code it for you. By simple, I mean not many pages, not many tables - like < 5 tables, and please no convoluted logic. The app wont' be ajax'd out. It's be an old fashioned web 1.0 style script, more or less.
You will get the sources and a shared copyright. I'll hold a copyright and you'll have one as well, with the stipulation that any derivative works cannot be used to sue each other or prevent further derivative works. If you want the license to be MIT or GPL, I can do that too.
Just post the idea here and offer something in btc. I'll indicate if I'm working on it, so you should hold on to the btc. When it's done, I'll put up a demo site, and we can trade. Bids should be in the $50 to $300 range. I'm expecting to work around 5 to 50 hours per project.
My github name is "johnkawakami". I only have a little C program up there, but I have experience, just not in ZF2. I'm still learning ZF2.

Bitstamp was at $79, but when I tried to open an account, the website was not available.
Is it possible that these exchanges lack the cash to pay for people changing their coins into dollars?

I thought the solution was to take a bunch of old transactions, hash them, and replace those transactions with the hash. Though it's a one-way process, if someone has the original transactions, it's verifiable.
This is functionally what the merkle tree does. Each transaction has it's own hash, which is then included into a binary hash tree with one other transaction, and then each of those hashes are paired and hashed again to form the full merkle tree. The last hash (merkle root) is included into the block header, which is then hashed again when the next block includes it into it's own header, thus forms the 'chain' part of the blockchain. That merkle hash root inside the block header is intended to represent that entire block (in the sequence of the lifespan of the blockchain) once every transaction included into that block has been spent. Presumedly in the future a great many blocks would be reduced to only the 80 byte, fixed length, headers after a few years time. There are already several blocks that could be pruned down this way to only those headers, but the pruning functions have not yet been implimented into any client that I am aware. Mostly because it's not consider a pressing need at the moment. Thanks for the explanation

I just realized that btc mining is profitable if mom and dad pay for the graphics card, computer, electricity, housing, and taxes.
No wonder people are willing to sell their services for 1 btc.

The coin might be anonymous, but I see these faucets everywhere, and none of them are anonymous - they have ads.
When you transact and buy something, you have to leak your identity to the seller.
Likewise, if you sell something, you are probably going to have to leak your identity to compete in the market.

I think it's worth it if you are a gamer and can use the cards for playing games. Though you'll fall short of breaking even on bitcoins, they'll subsidize your gaming habit. Presumably, you'll only play a few hours a day at most, and the rest of the time, the cards are just sitting there doing nothing.
This is somewhat like the reasoning that people pan for gold. The ones who are good at it say they make around $30k per year. That's a pretty meager wage, but for someone who enjoys being outdoors, in the stream, it's a pretty good job. Expenses are limited, and rent is cheap (if they rent at all - that land out there is cheap). If you love the work, you're going to enjoy life.

Not sure why anyone would buy old, used asprin from you?
No offense, just sayin.
It's not used ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Can any drug be "used"? They're actually in these blister packs. Again, another weird product. 81mg, which is a low dose for daily use. You can just take regular aspirin and cut it into 4 parts, and get around the same dosage. Yet, these low-dose aspirin cost more than the full strength 325 mg pill. Of course, we're a society that will pay $1 for a bottle of water.

You would have to examine if it is a controlled/scheduled substance. Other rules may apply too. For example, spray paint is not illegal, but selling it to a minor in your state may be, same thing goes with the anti-meth-ingredient ID laws some states have for ephedrines. I think there are no laws prohibiting you from giving aspirin to someone, but the prilosec may have a 'non-prescription' dose that the prescription exceeds.
That's the weird thing about prilosec: exact same dosage for prescription and otc. 20mg.

While a lot of diagnosed people can deal with mental illness on their own, I think there's a range and the more extreme cases are largely physical, not environmental or social.
I've read a little bit about drugs like lithium and other antipsychotics, and they measure brain mass or how dense the dendrites are, and generally, if someone is having psychotic episodes, and they take these drugs, it seems to reduce the loss of neurons. (By psychotic episode, I mean hallucinations or times when people lose control of themselves.)
That seems logical to me. We're always losing neurons, and our brains adapt by reinforcing things we wish to remember. As we age, our thinking slows down -- as a middle aged person, I can attest to this -- but we remain intelligent and functional largely because we simply ignore a lot more stuff that we think doesn't matter.
So, my point here - some mental health is a physical, degenerative disease. Let's not get all mystical about it. It's just the brain losing matter. I suspect it's analogous older people losing muscle mass, or bone mass, or hair, or other cells. That's why old people suffer dementia more often than young people.
I don't know why so many teens get morose and into moody, dark music, like I did, but my inclination is to think it's something related to brain development. Maybe it's a combination of physical, social, and environmental factors.

This is someone else's prescription, and they didn't need it all.
Shipping would be around $6, but the prilosec is worth more than that. It's worth around $30.
I just want to avoid putting this into the wastestream. I guess I'll try ebay.

I'm sure that bitcoins will be superseded by something with characteristics similar to btc, but easier to switch to traditional currencies. Bitcoins are a really smooth way to transact online, and the banks are probably trying to copy some of its features.
The methods of exchange for traditional currencies aren't a property of bitcoin; they are property of the traditional currency financial networks. Please enlighten us, how this alternative currency you imagine is going be made easier to switch? Should you have an answer, whatever your answer is, what stops bitcoin adopting it too? It bitcoin is superseded, it won't be because of exchange mechanisms. Most likely it will be superseded by Bitcoin2 when the developers want to make some huge revolutionary change, and it will probably be capable of importing all the transactions from bitcoin1. The network effect is what keeps bitcoin at the top of the cryptocurrency tree. Maybe a country would accept it for payment of taxes. That's how other national currencies were created.

I'm too lame to even know where to find Silk Road, though I've read about it.
I'm not *that* worried.
BTW, I just looked up in the ads here and found someone selling Prilosec for $1 each. The OTC version costs 30 cents retail at the drug store.

I have some really boring drugs: prilosec and aspirin. It just seems like a waste to throw them away.
Is it illegal to sell OTC drugs online? These are technically "prescription" and were dispensed as such, but they are identical to generic prilosec otc and plain old aspirin that you get without prescription.
I'll assume the risperidone I have is illegal to sell online.

wildgift, long time reader, first time poster. I don't mine anymore, and didn't make much when I did. If you're in los angeles and want to read some news, and donate bitcoins: la.indymedia.org. It's been accepting bitcoins a while.
