Es wird *immer* Leute geben, von denen ich 0conf akzeptiere und Beträge bei denen ich den Goldbarren erst nach einer Stunde zur Post tragen würde.

with the difference that we would provide only this and other wikis would put it along with audio and visual captchas.

yes, such a plugin would be cool. It could require a very specific donation to the bitcoin faucet and monitor for this via blockchaininfo api. this way you don't need a bitcoind.

Any offers for me to make it for mediawiki? it would be installable like all the other mediawiki plugins and javascript would poll blockchaininfo every 10s for a payment of exactly a server side random amount of 0.000?????BTC, provide a QR-Code and a bitcoin link to pay. The 0s not being 0s would still validate, so the users can mix a donation  with their captcha payment.
Of course if blockchaininfo allows long polling, i would do that.

Via PWYW I can pay 1 Satoshi and the receipt claims I paid "0.000 BTC" which is mathematically correct but … I insist I did not pay 0BTC.

That's like buying a car and getting a receipt that claims I paid G$0.000

woops, I'm not a seller yet. I only get people to your site and therefore try to understand it and report things that look counter-intuitive. If you do it like others do it, then I'm sure it's fine

I see you claim to use SCRUM in a huge distributed team but the paper scrum wall implies you only scrum locally. Did you consider using Kunagi? I would love to show you around in Kunagi (the first steps can be confusing but it all makes sense after minutes) as I find it near perfect as an online solution replacing what I did in my local scrum teams with paper, planning poker cards, …
I would even prefer using Kunagi over paper on a local team.

ok, so now the album is pay what you want and there really seems to be no lower limit (tested with 10 satoshi or so) and the single songs all have a price. I guess it's quite good to have this combination as it hits for a targeted average price but somehow I fell like this actually is a bug?

I wonder why there is no preview here while there obviously is a preview available as can be seen here.

Bug?

I met developers and entrepreneurs in Iran. Iran actually has huge quantities of oil for sale among many other products.

Oh, yes, we forgot to put English on their school plans. Right. That's what we did wrong. (sorry I have to ignore you and you are the first troll that gets this honor on this forum. The others I at least manage to not feed.)

Exactly as much as if a few hundred thousand Americans, Germans, Chileans or Italians suddenly used bitcoin. Opposed to you I actually do have friends in Iran and I do care if they can interact with the rest of the world or not. Their government discusses ultimately cutting the internet and makes them jump through hoops to get in touch with the rest of the world and ignorant fornits that don't care, make it possible that not only weapons and "dangerous" high tech can't be sent to Iran but also bitcoin and firefox. Congratulations.

The brilliance of your words shines bright. You must truly be an outstandingly happy and intelligent being.

I believe it is wrong, too. That is why I try to bring it to your attention. Just like people from Iran use a proxy to not run into theirs or our blocking, you can use a proxy to see the internet through their eyes.

My experiences might be outdated and I can't find a proxy that works right now. Feel free to verify if you can use github and sourceforge if you have your proxy set such that you get some strange Farsi link list for facebook or blogspot.

Yes, some companies might be bound by law to block connections from Iran but I doubt that this is a general problem as so many other US-based sites are still reachable.

There is nothing you can do about it technologically. There is not even the slightest chance any slightly educated performer could assume to be protected from landing on youporn or any other site. You should provide the legal framework though to allow the performers to get the video taken off other sites for example by allowing to embed a copyright remark on the stream or anything similar and by educating your performers.

Hi,

I've been posting about bitcoin in Iran before.

It's really a pain to even download the standard client as sourceforge denies requests from Iran (This is not the Mullahs being bad, this is sourceforge embargo of Bitcoin users (aka "us") in Iran. Many other sides enforce the embargo for open source, too).

It is a pain to get informed as 99% (really 99%) of the people there don't know any English so all the basic information should be translated to reach out to such countries.
There should be need as the inflation is horrible there.
There are no exchanges for IRR obviously.

Is there a project already of any kind that lists our reach for regions and languages? Like a checklist per country of availability of local(ized):
information (like bitcoin.org or this forum)
client (web, full node, mobile)
exchange (local, doing business in the local currency or being reachable through local payment providers)
BTC business (locals actually running some kind of btc business)
...

I know that at traviangames.com the huge success came with internationalization. The game was available in German and English and those markets were totally saturated with games. The Arab version rocked though as there was not much of competition. I could imagine that the western world is pretty saturated with financial online services, too and reaching out to more exotic languages could boost bitcoin.

Lastly to get BTC to for example Iran there needs to be something to sell from these countries. IRR are not really useful for anything outside of Iran so Iran would have to export something else in exchange for in-flowing BTC. I can only encourage all of us to keep mentioning bitcoin to all that want to sell stuff online. I told Mohammad Rafigh about this new way to sell his music outside of Iran and he's trying it out now via coinDL. I love this album and hope for more soon and I'm sure if it works for him, he will spread the word and people like him wanting to get fiat for their BTC will try to sell locally, … well … you know what I'm trying to say. Stop getting too excited about yet another clone of an existing service opening up for explored territories and reach out for the white spots of bitcoin-land instead!

Definitely this will be more interesting as 50s are running out. 25s you can get another 4 years.

I definitely would try to get it to a coinbase transaction and put it on a physical coin. Actually I hope Cascaci[wtf? how do you write that name???]ius makes a series of coinbase coins.

Kürzere Intervalle der Blöcke bringen nichts. In den meisten Situationen reichen mir 0-Confs aus und die sind so und so instant. Viele Websites verlangen 2-6 Confs und mit 5-Min Interval müssten diese 4-12 Confs verlangen um die selbe Sicherheit zu erlangen. 10s-Blöcke würden zu ständigen Splits führen und keinen Mehrwert bieten. In dieser Welt gibt es heute noch Regionen, die einen PING von 30s zu Europäischen Servern haben. Mit einer so hohen Latenz verliert ein Miner allein latenzbedingt 5% Chance auf einen Block-Reward.

Mein Ansatz ist, dass Du ruhig merged-mining betreiben kannst für alle Coins dieser Welt, weil das ja keine zusätzliche Rechenleistung bedeutet und das konfigurieren der Miner sicher Spaß macht, aber bitte pump kein Geld in diese Parasiten wenn es keinen überzeugenden Grund gibt, dass diese Coins je einen echten Mehrwert über BTC bietet. Dass Spekulanten sich da blenden lassen und gelegentlich versuchen werden, den einen oder anderen Coin zu pumpen, ist eh klar, aber da kannst Du dann auch Lotto spielen.

photos or it didn't happen

 
Would this be the first (mini)chain accepting bitcoin?

You're welcome!



… uhm … +1 I wanted to say

… but how? Is it implicit by not defining a price?

404?
I want this to take off. What's the silence about? Why 404? Who joins me to do this? Can't be that hard. At least in Chile it should be quite easy.
