Bitcoin is a nerdy geek project. And most of the people using bitcoin don't have much use for too many physical goods- my entire belongings fit into one backpack. And many geeky people from experience are poor.

slush is going to working on a new qt client? And you're working on a gtk client in Python and I was working on a qt client in Python ( https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Spesmilo ). I'm going to make a client eventually for libbitcoin and was planning to adapt bitcoin-qt. We have a ton of overlap between us. When we're both around on irc and slush too might be cool to let each other know what we're all up to. Form a group or something.

OK, I just made clean git clone. Autoconf failed again, autoconf -i did something, then autoconf passed. I have another error in ./configure now: $ ./configure configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in build-aux "."/build-aux
I'm little confused. Am I doing anything wrong? My system is pretty standard Ubuntu 11.10. Try this: $ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf libtool libdb++-dev protobuf pkg-config libboost-all-dev $ autoreconf -i I'm not on the forums too often. Feel free to poke me on Freenode. I'm either in #bitcoinconsultancy or I'm lurking. Or you can use my email: genjix@riseup.netThen for fun, you can run the test cases as: $ make -f development-makefile net bdb-test $ ./bin/tests/nettest $ mkdir database $ ./bin/tests/bdb-test
... and so on (look under tests/)

ok storage is now called blockchain. Also, on http://libbitcoin.org/ is a video about the design philosophy behind libbitcoin. I make one mistake in the video: Will be called in the order 2, 1, 3, but not be allowed to run at the same time. Not sure why I tripped up there on that- guess it was being on the spot kind of thing @slush, try autoreconf -i

Oops. Thank you- I updated the survey.
10 results so far. Interesting & unexpected answers (in a good way).

Nice. Guilt by association as an ad hominem fallacy. DDT is toxic. Mosquitoes are immune to DDT now from our indiscriminate overuse trying to wipe the species out. I haven't read that book but here's a quote from that page: The motivation behind Silent Spring, the suppression of nuclear power, the global-warming scam, and other outbreaks of environmentalist lunacy is the worship of centralized power and authority.

Calm down. We spent months organising the conference and made negative money from it. If the videos are slow then it's because we are editing them in our free time.

Tell me you're joking. Dubai is a hellish shit-hole. They foreign workers are abused and treated like slaves. My father used to deal with property in Dubai and no way are they happy. They are forced into the crappiest situation. Many are starved, beaten or extorted. They have no due course with the law either. Maybe the few forward facing workers packing bags at the mall are fine, but not the backend slaves. That's why Dubai has had numerous riots from the workers (who are jailed and then deported without anything). The country is horrid for human rights. I hate the place and never want to go back. It's a gigantic artificial motorway complex with nowhere to walk and no natural beauty. Biggest hotel, biggest skyscraper, biggest shopping centre, biggest indoor ski slope, biggest artificial archipelago, biggest fake islands, and most retarded city built by uncivilised backwards sheep herders with more money than sense. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Dubai#Foreign_Workers_.26_Labor_Rights

What happened to this guy? Would be nice to hear some updates. Hope all is well.

What is 'acting'? I prefer to see personal/private data clearly distinguished from public data by name.
acting = functions that transform or perform operations on the data (public member functions of the interface)

What is a good name for the blockchain + acting functions? Currently it's called 'storage'
ledger blockchain backend ...
There are other components for 'wallet' and 'node_list'. This only concerns blocks, block locators and transactions in the block chain.
I'm leaning towards backend.

Sorry but in the chaos, I forgot to make the announcement. It was that we found a bug in the AGPL due to a specific behaviour of bitcoin, and that the SFLC/FSF will be drafting a new version of the AGPL which will include a p2p clause. It's based on the fact that derivative works need to be proactive in providing the source code (you can't provide it on request). Also there was the talk of making a lesser AGPL too.
Something small + nice that's happening for bitcoin. But in the confusion I forgot to say it.
