I thought bitcoincard was already finished?

http://thebitcoincard.co.uk/

I was referring to this project:

http://bitcoincard.org/

I really hope they get it done soon.

Um, I wouldn't let me kid under the age of 18 use the Internet. You guys are crazy.

Uhm, your parenting ideals are far more stricter than the rest of us. I was using the internet since I was 12. A LARGE majority of the people here are under the age of 21, and I personally think that is a HUGE plus. We have the youngest generation we can get here, and they will carry interest and support for Bitcoin and projects like it for years and years to come. Our generation will also see half of the lifespan for Bitcoin, and we will be able to make sure it works out. Anyone joining in 10 years from now really won't know what they are doing when they suggest changes unless they really look into Bitcoin's history. People joining in 30 years from now may not even care who Satoshi is.

Nice perspective of the future user !  And for kids on the internet, I think it's important that at a young age they learn to use internet.  I'll set up a computer in the living room for my child to access the internet, in this public room.  For sure I'll have a nice linux proxy by wich all internet traffic will go trought, to filter and log.  I'll be able to speak with them about good and bad thing they encounter on the net.

Internet (and Bitcoin) = overall good revolution made worldwide, at a tremendous fast pace !


I would never practice covert surveillance on my child. I think this is unethical.
Also, in any relationship there has to be trust. Those who sow distrust will reap distrust.

The best thing is to talk to the kids and explain why some things in the internet are harmful for them at their age. It may be acceptable to block certain contents for younger children, but never without explaining to them the reasons for doing so.

If women want to use bitcoin they they should do something about that, bitcoin is free and open source!  Smiley

Most women are more conservative and are not early adopters esp. not in technical fields. Bitcoin first has to be more mainstream for women to pour in.

To achieve that usability and accessibility has to improve.


And what suggestions do you have about such improvement?


I think there are some initiatives already underway.

If Bitcoincard gets finished it will be huge leap for adoption. The same for ATMs.

Maybe non-technical people will prefer bitcoin-banking services over holding the bitcoins themselves. (Not what I prefer though.)

If the aim of pocket money is learning about economic processes bitcoin is quite interesting but its currently limited spending possibilities and technical nature make it viable for older kids only, who can figure these things out.

Maybe paying part of the pocket money in fiat and part of it in bitcoin is an option.

The best option would be talking about economy and various forms of payment and saving with the kid and then letting him or her choose a payment option for pocket money. Again this is only likely to work at a certain age.

Why keep people measuring BTC against fiat currencies?

Given the extreme QE measures of all three big reserve banks it is not very meaningful to do future predictions based on a BTC/fiat rate.

For any long-term prediction Bitcoin should better be measured against gold, silver, wheat, sugar, milk, big macs, or alpaca socks... (or all of them)

Bei Mt. Gox muss man sich mit Ausweis registrieren (Geldwäschegesetz).

Bei dubiosen Webseiten wie Bitcoin-Brief.de kann man Geld ohne Registrierung ganz anonym per Post waschen.

Dieser "Service" (Geldwäsche) kostet halt extra.


Wenn ich so einen Schwachsinn lese, könnte ich k*****.

Alles, was nicht preußisch korrekt registriert wurde ist böse...vorauseilender Gehorsam rules.

Tschüss Bürgerrechte.

Wie Du den Verdacht der Gewerblichkeit schmälern kannst:

* Verzichte auf Deine Website (nur Angebot im Forum), oder reduziere sie einfach allein auf die Info, dass Du ab und zu Bitcoins verkaufst.

* Verlange keine prozentuale Servicegebühr, sondern einen fixen Unkostenbeitrag (z.B. zum Ausgleich von Fremdwährungsrisiken; max 3 EUR). Oder bitte höflich um Spenden.

* Nimm nur Kleinbeträge an (< 100 EUR).


Damit wirst Du zwar nicht reich werden, bekommst aber auch weniger Probleme. Ein zuverlässiger Bitcoins via Geldbrief-Service ist für die Community hier sicher eine gute Sache.

Sei vorsichtig dass du dich nicht der Geldwäsche schuldig machst mit deinem Business.

Angenommen, ein Drogendealer / Kinderpornohändler o.ä. schickt seinen Gewinn schön anonym per Post zu dir um ihn in Bitcoins zu waschen, dann bist du schneller im Knast als du kucken kannst.

Ist aber natürlich alles dein Risiko, da wollen wir dir nicht reinreden...


Da es sein Risiko ist, kannst Du Dich ja auch wieder beruhigen und Deinen Alarmismus im Selbstgespräch kultivieren.


Edit: Wie ich lese, hast Du im Übrigen öffentlich zugegeben, WorldCoins gemined und verkauft zu haben. Hoffentlich hast Du das entsprechende Gewerbe auch ordnungsgemäß angemeldet... Grin
811  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Exchange volume is more decentralized now then ever ... on: May 22, 2013, 09:20:13 PM
The tendency is right but the numbers are a bit misleading.

The exchanges listed do not represent 100% of the exchange market. At least you should add bitcoin.de, which has a higher turnover than campbx.


Good to see Mt.Gox going down.
812  Local / Deutsch (German) / Re: Spenden für den Wahlkampf der Piraten nicht in Bitcoin möglich!!! on: May 18, 2013, 10:22:55 AM
Piraten sind unwählbar geworden, da komplett von links unterwandert.

Anfangs waren sie eine relativ libertäre Partei, die sich vor allem gegen die ausufernde Überwachung gestellt hat. Ich erinnere z.B. an die Vorratsdatenspeicherung.

Dann kamen irgendwann die post-privacy-Vertreter/innen (Motto: "Wir haben uns doch alle lieb und brauchen deshalb keine Privatsphäre."; Hervorhebung Absicht) und die BGE-Missionare (Motto: "Es wäre doch voll cool, wenn jeder zum Rumhängen und Zocken genug Kohle hätte."). Inzwischen ist es ein einziger linksökologischer, politisch korrekter Netzpseudokompetenz-Sumpf geworden - die meisten fähigen Leute wurden systematisch rausgemobbt.


Hinsichtlich post-privacy genügt allein bereits ein Verweis auf den schulischen Geschichtsunterricht, der von diesen Leuten scheinbar nicht besucht wurde.

Hinsichtlich des bedingungslosen Grundeinkommens ergibt sich - ganz unabhängig von der durchaus diskutablen Motivationsfrage - allein bereits aus der Bedingungslosigkeit des Einkommens an sich ein Problem: Wenn ausnahmslos jeder vom Millionär bis zum Habenichts das gleiche Grundeinkommen erhält wird dadurch letztendlich einfach die Kaufkraft um den Betrag dieses Grundeinkommens gemindert, da Verkäufer/Anbieter/Vermieter davon ausgehen können, dass jeder monatlich über wenigstens den Grundeinkommensbetrag verfügt.


Ich finde es schade, was aus den Piraten geworden ist. Aber wählen werde ich sie sicher nicht mehr - von spenden gar nicht zu reden. Dass sie sich aus pseudo-sozialen Gründen gegen Bitcoin stellen, tut sein Übriges dazu.
813  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Winklevoss Index = $12,770,919 on: May 16, 2013, 05:33:34 PM
I added the Winklevoss Index,  they claim to own 1% of all the bitcoins created so far,  and the formula assumes they purchase at time to time to keep that rough percentage.   http://www.ounce.me/

I don't see that this is adding useful or interesting information. I mean everyone can do a simple comma-shift of the total market cap to get to the 1% value.

It would be much more interesting to add direct BTC/Gold and BTC/Silver rates.

Apart from that: Nice site.

For 0.5 BTC I would add this message to my sig for 3 months and to my free ripple request on page 172.

I share your ripple criticism - ripple's only use is to purchase bitcoins instantly.
816  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should Peter Vessenes resign as the Executive Director for Bitcoin Foundation ? on: April 24, 2013, 10:02:17 PM
The Bitcoin Foundation Inc. constitutes a serious risk to Bitcoin's independence that should not be taken lightly.

What they seek is Bitcoin's approval by the establishment by adjusting it to their requirements, which is a severly misguided aim.

The fact that they wish to take control of bitcoin.org raises a huge red flag.

What they exhibit first and foremost is constant usurpation for (more) power. They do not act in the interest of the majority of Bitcoin users - they act as they see fit.

Watched it. Excellent.

Only there is some humming in the audio in some scenes (variable pitch) - you can filter that easily with a notch filter in Audacity.

Keep up the good work!

820  Economy / Speculation / Re: Market sentiment poll - did we see the bottom ($50 at Gox)? on: April 16, 2013, 02:50:03 PM
I think we'll see $ 30 / BTC at least.

So many people are looking for $30 bitcoins that I don't think it will make it. It seems like every person I've seen on reddit is using that number, and plenty of people on here.

Also, people have to be willing to sell the BTC141k (much higher when accounting for people buying in as it drops) to get it there.

Attitudes change with mood. Buyer's mood will be different than today if we go down further. Uncertainty will spread. Before we will see Bitcoin going up (again) we will see capitulation of some perma-bulls. So below $ 30 is well possible.
