Is there a way to search for hero or higher members with at least 10 merit and make that a list to follow? So many threads and so many posts aren’t worth the time…but a more twitter like view of bitcointalk would be cool. Might bring us old timers back.

Howdy all...I want to make sure this message reaches everybody (not just those who are awesome at email). We're restarting the Bitcoin Foundation Elections and redeploying on Helios. Elections will be extended by 1 day. Expect new ballots by email shortly. More details here: https://blog.bitcoinfoundation.org/runoff-election-reboot/Cheers, Brian Election Fingerprint: hj4sXtCY/u/4qaM4nY3v+YQXJOciYtY8BIFuxJ7Vc3Y |

Any one listen to episode 34 of Bitcoins and Gravy? The episode features the author of Thieves Emporium, a book that presents a very plausible near-future America where privacy is violated by powerful governmental regulatory agencies, personal liberty sharply debulked in the hunt for "terrorists," and the exercise of constitutional freedoms, while still legal, face harsh extra-judicial penalties imposed by those that control government handouts and those that control the payment networks. How could such abuse happen in the US? The author uses the Federal Reserve's power of inflation, or hyperinflation, to show how populations can be controlled by controlling the value of their money. Those that profit from regulation and restriction, for example, sellers of items with marginal production costs, seek to maintain their profits by using government to stamp out those that offer arbitrage services (example, books and pharmaceuticals are sold at vastly different prices in different geographic regions). In a troubled economy, more and more people find themselves in the position of being poor but compliant with regulations or being able to earn a living by facilitating victim-less crimes (assuming decreasing the profits of big companies via arbitrage is "victim-less"). How do ordinary folks in this future America earn a living without being imprisoned? Community. A community connected via encrypted internet communication, TOR, and anonymous internet access. Oh, and money. But not just any money. Money that flows freely between individuals, unfettered by regulations that ease its confiscation or theft. Digital money. In function, if not form, the money used in the online community is very similar to Bitcoin. In the book, the author shows how populations can be controlled using paper money and how that can be resisted by using free money (free as in speech, not beer). I'm not one for political conspiracies, but, I do think the issues raised by the book warrant thought. The book is a fun and fast paced exploration of this world, in large part as seen through eyes of a struggling widow with young twin girls. The heroine is a survivalist. Not a computer geek, but a mother. A mother that will do anything to provide for and protect her girls. Her entry into the online community, called the Badlands, and ultimate uncovering of a government conspiracy and escape from the country is a harrowing tale...and all too real feeling. I recommend reading this book! |

Here is an idea (that very well may be of no merit): let each block be composed of 25 mini blocks, each of which may award themselves up to ฿1. Each block accumulates the lowest hashed mini-blocks until one of the 25 hits the target for the main block...or maybe when the sum difficulty of the 25 mini-blocks hits the target would be best.
Would this make mining in smaller pools more attractive to those with hashing power?
If it's a dumb or old idea that didn't pop up in my forum search, my apologies.

iOS 8 had a new currency symbol available when holding $ on US keyboard and having Thai keyboard enabled: ₽
It looks like a bold P with a horizontal bar on the upper part of the stem

What can we, all of us, do to help bring better security practices to the ever increasing pool of Bitcoin users? Should we start with a thread (has one been started elsewhere?) on personal security practices? That's a huge topic. If we get a lot of good material organized on a thread, perhaps we could make a publication ready PDF? Like I'm sure most of you, I feel deeply hurt by the fall of Gox (but no, I wasn't actively trading with them and I sure as heck wasn't storing any coins on an exchange). I don't think our community can take too many more deep blows like this...we are losing too many good people. At the risk of personal humiliation, I'm linking to a (sophomoric) document I am working on with at least one other member of the education committee of the Bitcoin Foundation. It's here: https://bitcoinfoundation.org/forum/index.php?/topic/784-bitcoin-storage-understanding-trust-relationships/The document is just a draft and shouldn't be taken as gospel. In fact, it needs much improvement! And there is so so much more to personal security practices than the handout above. What major categories/concepts could we organize personal security practices around? |

I just googled bitcoin price (on wife's phone) and the sponsored link/ad at the top said it was to mtgox.com...only it wasn't, it was too mtgoox.com. The site looked like mtgox.com (even offered to switch to mobile like the real gox site does).
Does Google permit this kind of fishing?
*edit-- updated thread title

I've gotten a few random Bitcoin payments over the past few months I wasn't expecting...I heard that this was going around the community and no one was sure who was doing it or why.
Anyhow, it got me thinking. I'm a physician, a radiology resident (see my npi in my old posts). There are several physicans that work where I'm in training that helped found a hospital in west Africa. They just installed an X-Ray machine and they don't have an ultrasound scanner.
Getting the hospital set up on the internet and getting a PACS (radiology image sharing) network installed could really be useful (volunteer radiologists could read cases remotely). Ultrasound would have a huge impact on patient care and they're not incredibly expensive ($20k ish). With a reliable internet connection, getting the hospital set up to accept donations in bitcoin wouldn't be a huge stretch (the hospital is aimed to become self sustaining/self funding).
Has anyone done something like this? I think it would be cool to show in a real way how Bitcoin can change and save lives. Pipe dream or do-able? How do I bridge the gap between the real world and digital currency gently (without sounding like a crook or used car salesman)?

https://bitcoinfoundation.org/blog/?p=261Read the linked document -- it's brilliant. Such legal work doesn't come cheap I suspect!. Whether it's supporting Bitcointalk.org or the Bitcoin Foundation, we are stronger as a community when we can pool our resources.

There are many tens of billions of XRP...why are people buying them?
Full disclosure, I sold the vast majority of mine for ฿2.5.
There are like, what, 80 billion XRP? Roughly 8,000 XRP per currently existing bitcoin. If XRP value as a currency equaled Bitcoin, then I guess it makes sense to buy 35,000 XRP for 2.5 bitcoins. But, XRP isn't a currency really, right?
I'll admit to not fully understanding ripple. I think the IOU idea is very interesting, but skeptical that mixing friends, family, and money will work out well.

My apologies if this is the wrong forum.
If I send money to Bob using my 1SendtoBobAddressL0r3mIp5umD0lr address and Alice sends me money to that same address, could Bob rebroadcast my raw transaction to get double paid?

Lets suppose I'm a big receiver of Bitcoin (like Bitpay). Lets say I'm really a big business with 100 transactions per second. Could I receive private keys instead of having my customers try to squeeze their transactions into the block chain and then construct one transaction with many private keys and "change return" public addresses from my customers to transfer the coins to my address and dispense change to each customer?
Is there any advantage to this approach in terms of block size limit (presumably a limit on data size, not #of transactions, but I'm uncertain) or fees? Or is this just a hard/risky/generally pointless approach?

Perhaps this thread should be in the meta forum, but I think that we should have a Dev tag for those who have made code contributions to BitcoinQt. I was browsing the test site http://174.142.20.146/en/development and I noticed the names of several people that had made commits to the code repository...and I had no idea. It's one thing to toil without compensation, but a whole different thing to toil in obscurity. We should celebrate their talent and efforts...thoughts? |

Anyone interested in a full set of BitBills? BTC1, 5, 10, and 20 notes. These were the first Bitcoin bills...before bitaddress.org or Casascius coins, there were BitBills! This is your chance to own some early Bitcoin history!
Pm me if interested. Payment in BTC only.

Whatever your feelings are for Greenpeace, I think most would agree these folks have chutzpah...my guess is that they would support Bitcoin. Anyone a member? Has Bitpay been in touch?
