I don't know if it is good or bad but rigging a reddit should be quite easy. Consider an issue tracker that treats each reply to one reddit as an issue. The interested community could mark issues as resolved as soon as a sufficiently good answer was given. This way a far smaller group can answer far more posts without all having to read all posts.

A more generic approach would be a browser plugin that allows me to mark reddit users as competent/my team/insiders and the plugin automatically collapses all posts that were already dealt with by a marked users.

Script kiddies?

:/ my intent was to honor my pledge towards BUND myself but in a countable way and not via BitPay which hides the donations from the public. Anyway. Sending 1Ƀ to your address now.

… is this some sort of SEO?

Thanks Jan for your great work on my absolute favorite Android Bitcoin Wallet.

pledging 1Ƀ for the BUND Berlin. I would prefer to send it to an anonymous donation address at BUND over using BitPay as theser public anonymous tip jars make the amount public and the organization more transparent but just let me know where to send the coin.

Edit: At this hour the forum is dead. Don't be surprised to get no reply. USA and Europe are sleeping now.

the show must go on. hope there is a plan B for when BoB has to pull the plug.

I wish your PSP and your bank would consider this worthwhile enough to say a word on it on their sites, too

Got a server error at registration. Now my mail address is "taken" (surprise). Logging in tells me to verify first but I did not get the verification mail.

Epic! I sure would want that as soon as I can use it for all my banking needs (which don't include taking credits).

lol I was considering placing a bet on BoB being offline within a month. Actually your concerns are why I never bet on any event longer than 30 days away. I hope this will change though.

My point is that I know how to get Bitcoins but it is an effort. I directly loose 2% in fees, so this would be my minimum fee. I loose time, so my fee is significantly higher but I love when people trust me, so I would do the deal. Getting a MtGox account definitely is a hurdle and I don't mind sharing mine (in the sense of this thread) within limits.

Impressive article for bitcoiners beyond the line that mentions bitcoin.

Wasn't RMS posting on this forum somehow? Anyway, I guess he sees bitcoin as cash on the internet. Don't understand what problem you see in the way he put it.

Yes, this. Max contacted me for my Iran-thread here in the forum and I told him about Mohammad. We talked for half an hour. I'm happy he dug deeper and came up with some nice localbitcoins details.

Interesting

Scherzkeks. The Logo lacks a Ƀ

I see ripple work for small amounts. I wouldn't trust many people with 100$ yet I might want to trade 100Ƀ. Or much more at times. The easier it gets to trade, the smaller the trades may get though.

@Gavin:
If I trust a friend with 20$ and I hear he will not be able to pay back his debt because his terminal cancer treatment is too expensive, I will not complain. I do trust him with this amount cause this is the amount I am willing to loose to him. If he came to me to ask for a much larger sum, I might be willing to give him more after careful consideration but the ripple credit lines are amounts I generally trust to get back but that don't kill me if I don't get them back.

@OP: Ripple's instant confirmations are easy with a "central" server. Ripple is not a competitor of Bitcoin at all but a very very precious addition. Via Ripple you can exchange all currencies, gold, work-hours, bitcoin, etc. by building a web of trust with credit lines between nodes.

If now somebody wants to buy some bitcoins, I could send them to him instantly, stating in ripple that he owes them to me. Much closer peers in the network (aka my friends) now owe me back these bitcoins and I know they will give them to me some day because they again have friends that now owe them bitcoins all the way to the person that now has my bitcoins. If my friends give me some CLP, USD and a beer, I mark the debt as settled at my end.

As my credit lines are not unlimited, we still need to settle debts outside of ripple. Bitcoins will be one way to settle debts.

This getting big would be the greatest thing that could happen to get decentralized exchanges flying!!11

Edit: Ripple has many tricky aspects to tackle and I'm eager to see how they intend to solve them. Critical mass, exchange rates, fees, …
On the other hand it exists since a long time as a concept and I'm sure many smart people discussed it. I'm confident that if they are hiring people, they know what they are doing and wish them all luck.

If destroying bitcoin were on the agenda of the CIA since the last 18 months with more than 10 experts, bitcoin might well be dead by now. 18 months is enough to get a new core programmer positioned and sneak in some backdoor. Yes, bitcoin has very good hackers and some are surely paranoid about this to happen but I doubt that really every capital weakness would get caught. I assume that still too few academics are interested in bitcoins security and especially the security of release candidates. What would we do if some day all connected Satoshi clients were sending their coins to one address?
