Several miners have used that phrase "playing chicken".
Yes, playing chicken -- with a train.
You have to get off the road when you get close to that train (ASICs) anyhow, so why not get off a month or so early, and reclaim the space (quiet, money, etc.) used by the mining operation?
I will react to it when the first ASIC is verified and out in the wild. When and if. Ente |

Ente email me personally please I haven't seen anything about this before tony@bitpay.comNo problem here, Tony. Thanks for looking into it. Later, bud. ~Bruno K~ thanks sorry since Wordpress our new signups and inquiries have increased by 200%. There has not been much time to respond to all the people asking for special requests. Thank you, Tony. I just wrote you an email. It is all fine if you take your time. Now that I know someone will get back to me I already am happy :-) Cheers! Ente |

It seems like the payments/points were steadily falling.. Obviously crowdflower are testing how low they can go.
So, in this case the best you can do is stop working for them once they cross your limit. Hopefully they will readjust the payments again then.

I don't want to drop the ball on the NGO I am in contact with. So I want to have definitive answers for them soon. Bitcoin to Euro transfers via SEPA, frensh bankaccount.
What would guys suggest?
BitPay with 4% fees, hassle-free?
MtGox with 0.6%+1% fees?
Something different?
They are a registered NGO/Charity in France. BitPay didn't even reply to my PM and mail.
So I fear that asking BitPay to forward costs and fees to us will result in no answers too, and just steal more time..
For now, I don't see an alternative to a diy-automated MtGox account..

Schade, dass es solch eine Initiative nicht in Frankfurt gibt. In der Höhle des Löwen würden einige sehr unruhig werden.
Warum nicht? Gründe einen Stammtisch! Einfach mal hier in Local/Deutsch posten. Bei https://localbitcoins.com/postal_code/DE/frankfurt/ sind auch schon zwei in FFM und Offenbach. Trefft euch regelmäßig, berichtet im Forum, schreibt auf fecebuch, quatscht mit dem Gastwirt! Und voilá, los gehts! :-) Bei konkreten Fragen, sowohl von der Technik als auch praktische Implementation, Presse, wird dich die Crypto Economy Consultancy Group aus Berlin gerne unterstützen! :-) Ente |

Just don't want to reveal my real identity.
Those signed messages are useless, unless they contain a timestamp and a name. A la 'I own the address 1BqcwhKevdBKeos72b8E32Swjrp4iDVnjP with 40k coins. Loaded, 28.11.2012' Else anyone might use such/this signed message he found elsewhere. Just say'n, generally speaking. Ente |

Staus update for BUND Berlin e.V. (FOE Germany, Berlin branch):
It's looking good - they'd be delighted to accept donations in Bitcoin and have opened an account with BitPay. However as they are not an US charity but one under German tax law BitPay has as of now classified them as normal merchants with a 4% fee to clear funds to their SEPA account. We're hoping to convince Bitpay to waive these fees. Once this is tackled things are looking pretty well! Maybe someone else can use their connection to BitPay?
I need such a contact too, to bitpay. I PM'ed and mailed them weeks ago, never any reply. Same topic, a registered NGO, willing to accept Bitcoin donations. Not registered in the US. Never any reply. Other than that BUND Berlin is actively working on a webpage on their site for Bitcoin donations and will promote this accordingly once its ready and launched. Bitcoin100 can then donate to a 4th (?) charity - one with 14 000 active members and supporters in the Berlin area. This is their website http://www.bund-berlin.de/ (German only, but the bitcoin page coming up is supposed to be bi-lingual and will contain some aspects about the motivation to accept Bitcoin) That's good news. Is there no bitpay competitor that will jump in? Are they not willing to use the MtGox features? There you can also have instant exchange on coins received to a certain address. They would only have to trigger the €-withdrawals manually.
I like bitpay's approach, and love everything they do for the community and Bitcoin in general. But they either are not interested in more NGOs adding unpaid work, or have some communication issues.. I just didn't get around to plan/set everything up with MtGox yet., but will do so next days, hopefully. I'm German and willing to help if there is any language issue.
Else I'm sure there is enough bitcoiners in Berlin to help.
There surely are! :-) They should come to the next Bitcoin Stammtisch (= regular meetup), every first Thursday a month, Room77 in Kreuzberg. We might arrange the transfer of the Bitcoin100 donation for that, for example! Ente edit: quotes straightened |

The first revision to the IETF Internet Standards Draft proposal for an IANA-managed registry of ISO4217 alpha-3 like currency and currency-like commodity identifiers has now been published. The basic idea behind X-ISO4217-A3 is to provide a mechanism for the open identification of currencies or currency-like commodities on the internet that is unencumbered by the limitations of the traditional ISO4217 registry. This latest revision integrates the following changes: - Complete section on input treatment. - Expand treatment of formatting and add section on prefix selection in response to feedback from Bill McQuillan. - Change ISO identifier to 'Z' in response to feedback from Bill McQuillan. - Add IANA notes on handling ISO duplicate assignments. - Modify IANA considerations regarding code maintenance. - Correct formatting and typographic errors. While the latest draft should shortly be available at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-stanish-x-iso4217-a3-01 it can be accessed immediately via the IFEX Project at https://sites.google.com/a/ifex-project.org/wiki/our-proposals/x-iso4217-a3Kind regards, Walter Stanish The IFEX Project http://ifex-project.org/Welcome onboard Walter! It's nice to have people like you here, right at the heart of the community! I would be happy to see your proposal to be included into the iso. From what I read last, it doesn't look too good though, they answered somewhat detailed why "BTC" won't be included any time soon. IFEX looks like you get some serious work done. Would you like to write a bit who you people are and what you do? Yes, there is info on your webpage, but I still have no clue if you are a hobbyists group which like currencies, or a multi-billion dollar thinktank right at the center of the worlds finance.. ;-) Cheers!

I just happened across something that is possibly disturbing to me: Bitcoin 100 will gladly donate 100 bitcoins (100 BTC), approximately $1,200 USD (current exchange rate), to your venerable organization. There is only one tiny string attached prior to us contributing said donation. The caveat I speak of has already been accepted by a couple other non-profits of which I'll provide proof momentarily.
- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127522.0How long after they put this donation badge on their website do they receive the 100 BTC? (i.e., if they add this they do then right away receive the funds?) Well, I personally find your quote a bit too dramatic. It's no big deal to put up a new donation option/adress. This quote makes it sound like selling your soul to the devil or the like.. Great. With this hasty move you removed every option to generate that vanity adress with provable "only we have the priv key" for them. People may trust you here. Donations may be a small sums game. But you might be shocked to learn that real business (tm) might not accept to have a funds accepting account where some stranger(s) have unlimited access to. I don't even believe that bitpay would want to touch this adress. However, there are unlimited more adresses with those starting bits. Not with those firstbits though. Ente |

Hallo zusammen,
ich bin zufällig einer der 706 "backer" vom mPrinter und gerne bereit den für eine Bitcoin-Geschäftsidee kostenlos leihweise zur Verfügung zu stellen, wenn wir ihn aus den USA geliefert bekommen. Anfragen gerne an mich via PM.
Viele Grüße,
Oliver
Sehr gerne! Erfahrungsgemäß ist die Hardware da aber immer das kleinste Problem.. Das Integrieren in das bestehende (?) System wird die Hauptarbeit.. Ich denke aber, das lohnt sich allemal! Und dann gerne mit dem mPrinter! Ente |

Ich habe gestern erfolgreich einen NFC-Tag im Room77 installiert. Man kann jetzt bezahlen, indem man sein Boitcoin Wallet and das echte Walltet vom Room77 haelt. Fuer das Fabelhaft, Primo Maggio und Vinyl Living Room habe ich auch schon Tags vorbereitet.
Schöne Sache! Da wird sich vor allem Goonie freuen, der ist schon seit Monaten ganz heiß auf NFC! ;-) Was genau ist das? Name, Link? D.h. auf dem Chip/Tag/NFC ist nur die Bitcoinadresse hinterlegt? Per Schildbach-Wallet wird ja gleich der Rechnungsbetrag mit übertragen, per QR oder NFC.. Freut mich, dass die Entwicklung da so schön weitergeht! Ente |
