I consider the heise ecosystem pretty much anti bitcoin. The comments are mostly uninformed and negative.

If I tell the blockchain that my addresses are not spendable for the next year, then what? A hacker steals my wallet and signs with its keys a transaction to spend all coins to his address. Great to know my coins will remain in my address for another year with me being unable to spend them and with them moving to a new known address the secondblock after.

If I can change the rules of the game in what is this different from having my wallet encrypted? Aka if the thief of my wallet can not act on behalf of all the bitcoins sent to keys within my wallet, how should this protection look like?

Are you talking about locking bitcoins in the blockchain (BIP) aka making them unspendable before block XY or not? Why would anybody lock bitcoins or pay interest for freezing assets?
Bonds are securities and I see no locking here.

Well, maybe "allow" was the wrong term. An extra optional field to encourage people to put a discussion link was what I meant. Also I see many non-link urls. Maybe you want to linkify urls in descriptions?

priceless

Here all freaked out about all Good Wife watchers jumping on bitcoin tomorrow – there all thought it's fictional. Reality.

Heise, the major German IT news outlet reports about Bitcoin again by listing several hacks and going into detail about Bitfloor and Romney. Title in English would be "Bank robbery and blackmail with Bitcoins"

no last seen please it doesn't tell anything about responsiveness. I won't log in there as I know there is nobody from chile registered. I placed my buy and sell offers and hope somebody will contact me and bitcoinary will mail me about that.

I like the feature at couchsurfers that tells you x% messages were replied. I don't like that searching for a couch for christmas results in getting replies around easter just because these users want to keep a clean reply statistics, so maybe post x% replied within 3 days or whatever seems a reasonable delay.

As the last year's thread went off topic from post 2 I spare you necro-posting there and open a new thread

Some like the term "free money" for bitcoin, yet on free money day the idea is to give away government fiat non-free money.
I'm not sure if it is a good idea to jump on the train and distribute qr-codes under the label of "free money day" but if this is any interesting for people here, now is the time to prepare as their free money day is next week.

Please allow the bet maker to link a thread in this or any other forum if you don't intend to allow people speculate about things on the site itself. It's much more fun to bet then.

(Also please allow to bet arbitrarily small amounts. If not, please measure how many people that got the error "bets have to be a multiple of 0.01" actually opted to bet more rather than less or 0. I doubt that your server would collapse if it had to compute some more bets.)

It's funny how some people assume just because they have a certain mind set that this applies to the bitcoin community as a whole.

I love how bitcoin can make anonymous donations totally transparent via one donation address. Many other aspects of bitcoin are very much about transparency.

Weird. I thought most people already agree on the Romney story being a hoax and a follow up of some satire article? Why even new stories and irrational stories like that?

Ok, if the story was legit, of course there would be an incentive to buy many bitcoins but those market makers should be confident enough about it being a hoax.

If ever I'm putting any service public (I have a Facebook wallet), I will have my cold storage on an air gaped computer and not hold more in hot storage than I can afford to loose as I would get hacked like all the others. If that service doesn't make money to hire people to charge the hot wallet, this would mean the service might perform much worse when I'm on vacation but I would never loose money to a hacker exceeding what I can afford to loose.

(Ok, if the hacker manages to send out payments that look legit over an extended period of time without my users reporting anything, this could kill me but so far, all hacks went in one go and frankly I can't believe all these stories of being hacked.)

Maybe we should go for fractional reserve for security. Exchanges don't have to hold any bitcoins and instead of charging addresses, they show withdrawal addresses that were earlier posted to them by people wanting to withdraw. This would only imply a slight delay here and there but provide much more security.</irony>

Well, the quote implies, there were anything done successfully against child porn. Maybe in relative numbers, less and less of the internet is child porn but in absolute numbers I strongly doubt that.

Thanks for the tip but BCC-mailing my contacts is fine for now. groupme.com requires all to either install the service and/or register + SMS fees.

… well, if the surprise is indefinite vapor ware, it can keep people entertained.

Ok, maybe I am negative. I don't see bitcoin and cs go together very well. CS is not about money. Yes, I annoy every single visitor with my bitcoin enthusiasm and got some of them their first bitcoins but you could just as well start a bitcoin thread on a climbing or neighborhood watch forum.

You mean group 38717? With 10 members? Wow!
You certainly mean something bigger, don't you? Can you provide a link?
