This is a proper thread for the project I started talking about a while back.

The app uses a simple text file placed on a website to identify the address the websites owner wants any tips to be sent to.  Then while browsing with mobile safari or chrome, you simply use the browsers built in "share" functions to invoke the app and send a tip.

Current status is that I am coding the engine and working on the app once that is done.

Every day someone posts a thread about who they think SN id and why it can't be so and so.  Can we have a separate board/bin to put all these threads in?  They are very tedious.

then what is bitcoin?  A solution in search of a problem?

Here is a couple of designs i have done.  One is "bitcoin 2009" and one is "to the moon".

The t-shirts are available in a number of styles.



And the mug has a logo designed by myself.  A rocket going ... to the moon.



I can do the designs on other items if you want.  It is your standard CafePress shop, so you can get it in anything from a mouse mat (is that still a thing?) to a tote bag.  You can order from them quite safely, though I am not sure they accept bitcoin.

Let us know what you think.

Based on the current problems of bitcoin, I would have the following features.

1.  No mining or staking.  Every second, all outstanding transactions are bundled into non related groups (sharding) and a small amount (from the fees) is paid to a random miner for each "group".  Firstly speeds up transactions, secondly takes out the centralisation (of big mining pools) and thirdly as you only get a dollars worth it is not worth pooling or asics. 
2.  Fixed % fee based on what you spend paid into a pool.
3.  Optional privacy mixer built in.  Incurs 2*fee.
4.  Some sort of (optionally) identifier built into the public key.  FredBloggs_j3hg12jh3gjhg3j12g31j3gj12h or hacker33_kj4hk4hkjhkj3h4kjh4k3j. 
5.  Still non reversible.

Just speculating here.  Any comments?

I will read your badly written post and translate it into a good post.  It must be written in English, even if it is badly translated "Engrish".

My web comic is just starting a bitcoin related story.  It uncovers the truth behind Satoshi and what happens when bitcoin goes "to the moon".  It is not to be taken seriously.  Here is a link to the first episode.

Is there anything to stop the core devs saying we want unlimited bitcoin and changing the code to allow it.  I mean, 21 million isn't much. 

Even $100,000 would kill it.  If 1 sat (or even 100 sat) == $1 then the fees would grind the system to a halt.  The fees would be so high relative to the amount sent, that it wouldn't be worth it.  From an investment perspective 1 sat==1$ is a nice round number.  From a users perspective, only being able to buy things divisible by 1$ is crap. 

If you are moving 100s of BTC around then you don't mind paying $2 transaction fee to get it done quick.  You can afford it.  It hurts the rest of us though as we can't.  Btc will always be at the mercy of the whales.

This time last year someone hacked my account and changed my password.  This is to say I have now got my account back.  My temp account ThirdPrize2 will now become redundant.

Have I got any trust issues outstanding on this account?  I can't see any.

When you pay by card or Paypal the seller pays any fees related to the transaction.  Does BTC allow anything similar?  It would make it more customer friendly.

Had an idea for writing an event driven trading bot.  Just wondered if you thought it would be any good/different to whats out there.

TLDR - its event driven with properties you set and actions you want executed when different things happen.

Think of a candles display.  Every minute its updated and is either going up or down with a max and min value.  My "Bot" follows a particular pair (eg, ETHBTC) and every minute says, here is the current state, should i do anything?  You could just use this basic event and say if its below this, buy x% or if its above this sell y%.    You can specify "gain" and "loss" values.  If it drops by the loss value then it does something and if to goes up by the gain it does something.  If loss was 5% (BIG dip) then you could get it to sell everything.  If its gone up by 0.5% then buy.  It could do something when the trend goes from down to up (red to green) or vice versa, eg, start buying as it goes up and selling as it goes down.  It would keep track of the moving averages as well, with events when the lines cross either way.  That would be visible to other events as its fairly fundamental.  You could mix and match and say, start buying when the MAs cross and selling when the values start going down.

You would configure it all at startup and there would be a set of responses for each event, but with variables you choose (%s and other values).

What other events/variables would be useful?

What do you think?

If its a coin or website announcement, fine.  They can have as many pages as they like.  However its the pointless threads that rack up huge numbers of pages without really adding anything to the conversation.  There is one in Bitcoin>Discussion about how someone was going to sell their house and buy bitcoin.  It is up to 42 pages!!  The author only commented twice and that was a month ago.  It hangs around the front page as people keep commenting on it and they only comment on it as it is always on the front page.  You can't win.  I say that after 3 pages, see if there is any actual conversation going on and if not, lock it.

You have a great crypto related idea.  You need money so you launch an ICO.  You get a couple of million, the idea doesn't pan out and you scrap it.  Investors kiss goodbye to their money.  Is that how it works?  Who actually buys into ICOs?  Is it the public or VC investors?

Taxes, like death, are inevitable.  When they go up, people complain.  Txn fees are a form of tax on BTC that goes to the miners.  No-one wants to pay them but they have to.

And what are you doing now?

They sell some BTC to a noob and that BTC ends up on some dark web market.  It's all on the blockchain.  Practically doing their job for them. 

Would there be much call for one?  I googled it and there didn't seem to be any sites, just bots.  Would it be popular?  I am guessing you need a LOT of coin to invest if you are playing the % game. 

What i'm imagining wouldn't do the deals but it would tell you the cheapest route from one coin to another.  It would have amounts and links to the exchange pages to do the deals.  Maybe free and paid tiers.

What would you expect to see?  Which exchanges?  Which coins?
