Dit is wel een interessante survey om in te vullen.

Ik ben benieuwd naar de resultaten. P.s., het kan wel 20 minuten duren om hem door te lopen.

Beste dames en heren,

Zoals ik hier reeds al eerder gemeld heb, zijn mijn compagnon en ik bezig met de ontwikkeling van een altcoin. Dit is niet zomaar een altcoin, maar een altcoin die probeert te variëren op andere vlakken dan alle altcoins die tot nu toe gebouwd zijn. 

Helaas kan ik hier niet tot in detail uitleggen wat precies het plan is, maar wij hebben wel een goed wiskundig aangelegde programmeur nodig om met ons deze coin, alsmede de wallet te ontwikkelen. Wij zouden het idee graag met drie man ontwikkelen. Het is niet zo dat we een vast bedrag kunnen beloven, want we willen niet werken met een premine, maar we hebben wel een business plan er om heen ontwikkeld die we deze programmeur graag willen voorleggen. Dit businessplan zou in ieder geval voor de nodige steady inkomsten moeten zorgen. De verdeling van deze inkomsten zal eerlijk 3x33,33% zijn.

Als er iemand geïnteresseerd om dit plan met ons te bespreken, laat het ons dan weten. We vermelden er wel bij dat er een geheimhoudingsverklaring ondertekend zal moeten worden. Wat inhoudt dat je wanneer je op de hoogte bent van het idee, je dit met niemand anders kan delen dan wij.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Clochard.

Beste leden,

Ik heb een interessant idee voor een nieuw soort altcoin. Nu heb ik zelf de kennis (nog) niet om dit helemaal uit te werken, maar ik heb wel eens gehoord dat er een bedrijf in Amsterdam zit wat cryptocurrencies kan ontwerpen aan de hand van de eigenschappen die je hen geeft. Iemand enig idee welk bedrijf dit is?

Daarnaast, weet er iemand toevallig wat interessante links/downloads over hoe je een cryptocurrency bouwt?

Heel erg bedankt alvast!

Mvg,

Clochard

I have been studying land values lately and I came up with the following hypothesis: land values in big cities can give us more understanding of what is currently happening to the Bitcoin value.

p.s. When you don't agree, please elaborate why. I think it can be a nice discussion.
p.p.s. Of course land values are depending on way more things than just accessibility, just as Bitcoin does, but for this example we take this important factor as similarity and driver of growth/decline.

Just imagine we consider the total land value of all the land of one city. Increases in this land values are inversely related to transportation improvements according to a study of Mike Goldberg. What this means, is that historically technologies that reduce costs of accessibility have been forces that lead decentralization and dispersal of economic activity. Part of core businesses that were located in certain nuclei of commercial activity, are moved towards transportation hubs outside the center, or from a big city such as New York to smaller cities such as Houston or Miami. This affects the land values of a city as demand in the center declines and therefore negatively influences the land values, although land values in certain spots around the nucleus will rise. On the short term, this can lead to an overall decline in land values or a slower increase in land values for the city as a whole, compared to a city/nucleus where all economic activity remains clustered. On the long term this can lead to a more diverse city with better developed infrastructure and thus to greater economic success, which will reinforce land values and will push them to higher numbers than similar cities with worse infrastructures.

The bridge I want to make to Bitcoin is the following. Imagine, that all Bitcoins currently holded by a small group of people is the nucleus of a city. The entire Bitcoin economy represents the entire city. the Bitcoin value equals in this example the entire land value of the city. As soon as transportation possibilities increase, the possibility to move in and out of the nucleus to more decentralized location increases. This leads to (relative) lower land values in the overall city on the short term. Compare this with the current Bitcoin community. The infrastructure which is currently developed and rolled out enables the Bitcoin community (the nucleus), to transfer their Bitcoins to other places in the Bitcoin economy (other parts of the city).  Since these organizations often sell these Bitcoins directly, this inhibits current rapid price growth and currently actually leads to a value decline. But more important, the entire economy (the city), becomes more attractive on the long term. There are possibilities to travel quickly and with ease from A to B (spending Bitcoins) and the city offers certain advantages over other cities (fiat economies). This will attract people from outside the city to come and live in the city and in the example of the Bitcoin economy, these are potential new buyers. And just like in a city where not everyone travels non-stop from A-B, some of these buyers will not (immediately) spend their Bitcoins, which will have a positive effect on the value.

In other words, with the rolling out of all the current infrastructure that revolves around Bitcoin, it is pretty normal that the value drops on the short term. However this same infrastructure, is one of the foundations of future success of the city, the Bitcoin economy. This infrastructure will attract new investors and merchants, necessary for a vital economy. On the long term, this city will therefore outcompete others (fiat economy) and this consequently leads to an increase in value.

Hey guys,

I am technically a bit a Bitcoin noob, so I hope you guys can help me.

I have some back-ups on usb's (wallet.dat file) of an old Bitcoin QT wallet of a pc that is not working/starting anymore.

I have another computer now, I downloaded the Bitcoin-QT wallet, removed the wallet.dat that belonged to that new Bitcoin-QT from the folder where it was stored, imported the backed-up wallet.dat file, opened in the same folder a command window and typed: "bitcoin-qt.exe -rescan". Btw, When I made the back-up I changed the name of the wallet.dat file in another name, imagine it being called 'wolverine.dat'.

Bitcoin client started rescanning all the blocks and is now still 20 weeks away from being synchronized (it takes a shitload of time).

Have I done everything correctly? And when it finished rescanning, will my old bitcoin balance of the other wallet that was in the other pc appear? Until now my balance is 0.

Btw, one thing you should know is that the wallet on the other pc was encrypted. I am not sure if this will give any problems?

It would be great if some of you guys could clarify this for me.

Thanks in advance!

Best,

Clochard

Bidding starts at 100BTC, however this name is worth much more. Any realistic person understands that.

I am talking about the domain name www.comprarbitcoins.com

414 million people have Spanish as their first language. Domain names with an indent, like www.comprar-bitcoins.com function much worse than domain names without an indent. It is all about getting high in the search results when people search in a search engine 'comprar bitcoins'. This website will then be the first website they are confronted with.

Again, 414 million people with Spanish as their first language and an USA which is Latinizando, i.e. Spanish is becoming more and more important there.

Bitcoin will continue to grow and become more important globally, so the potential market cap for this domain name is huge. This name can and most probably will be worth millions in some years.

Since I am not eager to exploit this website and start an exchange myself, I offer this domain name for sale.

Bidding can be done here, but interested people can also send me a private message.

Let's see who is the lucky one.
