Economy / Services / Need anonymous hosting

I need anonymous hosting. Every single hosting provider I have tried that accepts bitcoins flags me for possible fraud for registering an address after connecting to their site through a proxy server. I just want to show up, register a domain name, get some hosting, and send my bitcoins to an address. Nothing illegal being hosted. Anyone?

Economy / Speculation / How much did lag cost you?

I can't believe Gox still has no stop loss orders to at least be protected that way. I put in a market sell order for all my coins around $230. By the time Gox processed it coins were at $150  |

stock markets are in total free fall.
gold is popping.
US debt still the safe bet.
what does it all mean for bitcoin?
(my guess, not much -- if bitcoin was stronger it could get a bit of "well fuck it, has to be safer than XXX" money, but not as it stands)
my guess rising up to the low nines and then start a bit of a slide again. next stop - $5 by end of weekend.
(full disclosure, re-bought a bunch of BTC at $6.20 and resold them all again at $8ish)

Give a bitcoin address for donations if you are so inclined https://pastee.org/4drkmA week after we defaced and destroyed the websites of over 70 law enforcement
agencies, we are releasing a massive amount of confidential information that is
sure to embarass, discredit and incriminate police officers across the US. Over
10GB of information was leaked including hundreds of private email spools,
password information, address and social security numbers, credit card numbers,
snitch information, training files, and more. We hope that not only will
dropping this info demonstrate the inherently corrupt nature of law enforcement
using their own words, as well as result in possibly humiliation, firings, and
possible charges against several officers, but that it will also disrupt and
sabotage their ability to communicate and terrorize communities.
We are doing this in solidarity with Topiary and the Anonymous PayPal LOIC
defendants as well as all other political prisoners who are facing the gun of
the crooked court system. We stand in support of all those who struggle against
the injustices of the state and capitalism using whatever tactics are most
effective, even if that means breaking their laws in order to expose their
corruption. You may bust a few of us, but we greatly outnumber you, and you can
never stop us from continuing to destroy your systems and leak your data.
We have no sympathy for any of the officers or informants who may be endangered
by the release of their personal information. For too long they have been using
and abusing our personal information, spying on us, arresting us, beating us,
and thinking that they can get away with oppressing us in secrecy. Well it's
retribution time: we want them to experience just a taste of the kind of misery
and suffering they inflict upon us on an everyday basis. Let this serve as a
warning to would-be snitches and pigs that your leaders can no longer protect
you: give up and turn on your masters now before it's too late. |

Economy / Economics / Africa is the ingenuity capital of the world in banking and currency transfer
|

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/jul/24/mobile-phones-africa-microfinance-farmingIt may seem unlikely, given its track record in technological development, but Africa is at the centre of a mobile revolution. In the west, we have been adapting mobile phones to be more like our computers: the smartphone could be described as a PC for your pocket. In Africa, where a billion people use only 4% of the world's electricity, many cannot afford to charge a computer, let alone buy one. This has led phone users and developers to be more resourceful, and African mobiles are being used to do things that the developed world is only now beginning to pick up on. The most dramatic example of this is mobile banking. Four years ago, in neighbouring Kenya, the mobile network Safaricom introduced a service called M-Pesa which allows users to store money on their mobiles. If you want to pay a utilities bill or send money to a friend, you simply dispatch the amount by text and the recipient converts it into cash at their local M-Pesa office. It is cheap, easy to use and, for millions of Africans unable to access a bank account or afford the hefty charges of using one, nothing short of revolutionary.

Economy / Marketplace / Double Trouble with a Shuffle: Round 2
|
on: June 22, 2011, 06:08:18 PM

Links to the first thread with spreadsheet is here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=20476.0Summary: This is double trouble with a twist.  At the end of the closing bell, bet order is randomized, and then payouts proceed as normal. This allows everyone to have a chance to end up with their bet "at the beginning". Random.Org is used for the shuffle at the end. We will do a "live" spreadsheet updating at the end again since that seemed to be fun for all. -- The twist this game: At the end of the game, 50% of the orphaned pot will go to the largest bettor that did not have their bet doubled. (50% goes to the house). Hopefully this will encourage people to take some risks. -- Minimum bet this game: 0.25 BTC Maximum bet: 5.0 BTC Bets under .25 will be considered donations. Bets over 5 BTC will be returned. -- Sending Address: 17yna2R8vogAnRNMGe1MqLxJkd3LSSPFNe -- Game runs for 24 hours 22 Jun 20:00 GMT --- 23 Jun 20:00 GMT |

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / non-profit bitcoin exchange
|
on: June 19, 2011, 11:19:27 PM
|
|
-community funded
-open-source
-all profits get reinvested in both exchange and large bitcoin development efforts
--
could be a good way to bootstrap bitcoin development in terms of being able to offer bounties, pay coders, etc and also have an open-source exchange.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / If bitcoin isn't the best cryptocurrency, will we ever know?
|
on: June 17, 2011, 02:56:07 PM

Haven't had my coffee yet,so this will be a little jumbled
It seems that somewhere along the development of bitcoin, the conversation drifted from how do we make this a functioning currency to how can this currency make me rich. (yes i'm overgeneralizing by a lot) now, contrary to the beliefs of some capital-L Libertarians, I don't actually think that a bunch of people trying to get rich actually automatically results in the best outcome for everyone. I guess my worry is that due to the value of bitcoin, we have moved out of the experimentation phase, but I don't think bitcoin -- in either the software sense or in the conceptual sense -- is ready to move out of that experiment phase.
And yes, obviously part of the answer to this is the code is open source, create a new blockchain with other features if you want. BUT I have the feeling that even if a far superior (you can define that in you head however you want) p2p cryptocurrency emerged next week, there would be tons of people on here trying to convince people NOT to use it just because they know that it would decrease the value of their bitcoins.
Does that make sense?
The flipside of course is that it is the value of bitcoins that is going to drive the innovation that will make this a far better cryptocurrency than any other possible future alternative. Which I can also see. But there is a brittleness that starts to creep in as well (ie; the arguments over the decimal point thing, etc, etc)
