That's extremely exciting to the extent that it starts occurring. Keeping my eyes on this.
A case study in similar rapid development would be Dubai's free-zones, which spurred the dusty town into a global city of over a million people in a decade.
The winning combination:
1) Zero or near-zero taxation
2) Respect for and protection of private property rights
I have no doubt Bitcoin will find its way into free Honduran cities if they develop in such a way!

Harvey it looks like the FeedZeBirds campaign is "off"? Did you put it on pause or did it turn off when it ran out of funds?
Just log in and click "on" to fix it =)

"Make the Bitcoin price to hit the Skylimits"
Can we please get that hardcoded as the splash screen in the official client??? Gavin??

I haven't used BTC-E, but I know CryptoXChange.com has a LTC and NMC market if you want an alternative.

All the dollars of the big buywall are bitcoins now - or in other words someone must hold or accept tough losses!
This isn't quite true... the dollars and bitcoins existed prior, they just switched hands. Group A had dollars, Group B had bitcoins, and now the groups are different, but the same money exists. |

Worked for me. I just made 0.1 BTC for posting this tweet. Sweet! Thanks Mike, glad you like it! |

The calm before the storm hits next weekend... perhaps the weekend after that. I'm inclined to think that those holding and waiting for the price to increase are going to do their monthly cash out a little earlier than in November, just in time for the holiday break.
Yikes there's going to be a storm!? This coming weekend or next? What price will it go to? |

You could spread any message to 10,000 people via Twitter on FeedZeBirds.com for about one bitcoin. |

A week or two ago when Bitcoin went up to the $3 mark, many here said it was "artificially caused" by the massive "fake" bid wall of "the manipulator." Well, that bid wall wasn't fake - it was filled.
But here we are at $3 again... so what's the excuse this time?

It's been exciting for me to see FeedZeBirds used both for commercial and non-profit messages.
Maybe I should call it a "speech platform" instead of an advertising platform =)

I think it's brilliant. This takes the passive resistance movement to the next level.
Yes... it takes it to the level of no longer being passive resistance, and instead to the level of aggression, trespassing, and theft. I fully support their right to protest, but the second they trespass on private property they lose all moral credibility and deserve to be forcefully removed. |

I would suggest you do not include such functionality, especially if you want to stand by your claims of weeding out spambots and the like. How do you verify all the twitter accounts that re-tweet all the campaigns? Do you plan on verifying them and then paying out to their account? Is it a manual process? If your service is successful, how much time can be put into such a process? I'm sure it's possible to do all of that work, but it doesn't seem worth it to me. I think those people who are curious enough will look into the service to collect their reward first. But that's just my opinion.
To be able to retweet from within Twitter, the user would still need to have signed up with FeedZeBirds.com. The point is that once they've signed up, they don't have to go back to the site to retweet. |

I can vouch for DeaDTerra. Not a scam.

I agree completely. The $15 fee makes it a non-starter. It costs me $0.25 to withdraw from MtGox to Dwolla. Why would I pay 60 times that to withdraw from CryptoXChange?
MtGox withdraws to Dwolla and then to your bank can take over ten days. Withdraw from Crypto to your bank is more like 48 hrs. Also - I think the fee is going to be reduced soon. |

If I see a retweet from feedzebirds, and I retweet it from with twitter, will I get paid too? Or is it only paid if you go to the feedzebirds site and retweet it?
Hi Peter, Our plan is to enable it to be retweeted from within Twitter itself (or and 3rd party twitter app), but right now you have to use FeedZeBirds.com. Ira (the developer) and I are currently in an epic discussion over how useful this feature is to users. I really want to make it available ASAP, but Ira is skeptical that it adds much. So can you tell him why he's wrong? =) |

A serious bug that was catastrophic, or a massive hacking that destroyed the blockchain or deleted/transferred massive amounts of coins could sufficiently crush the system so that nobody would use it.
Basically a flaw in the protocol could end Bitcoin. Other than a critical flaw, the only possible end would be a better currency coming along and replacing it (but that's a vulnerability of all currencies from fiat paper to gold to bitcoin).

+1 Proudhon, well said.
I think it's important for people to see Bitcoin not as a pruned and professional new tech project, but instead as a Wild West/industrial revolution phenomenon. With that context, one can see Bitcoinland is simultaneously full of promise and danger, brilliance and scam, optimism and torment. It's tumultuous - and will attract both great and terrible aspects of humanity into the fray.
It's a battle of innovation, creativity, patience, and stamina against uncertainty, doubt, sabotage, and trickery.
If you imagine Bitcoin as some formerly pristine thing that has been tarnished, that is the wrong outlook. Bitcoin has always been, and will for a long time be, a disruptive technology... and legacy systems, whether cultural, political, or economic, should not be expected to give up easily.
Bit regardless of all this, Bitcoin works. And as long as it works, I'll keep working with it.
