Genjix was referring to Packers and Mappers, not Myers-Briggs nor Jung. I'd be very curious to know (most) everyone's preferences:

what do these figures mean???

19145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can I tear a Bitcoin in two, like a banknote? on: October 22, 2011, 04:38:32 AM
i think, if you tear a bank note in half, that half with the SN number is the valid half .... the other is worthless
I guess it is different depending on the issuing authority - but this part not interesting to me!

i would use an escrow service. but clearly you dont want that,

maybe you could send the public key and then the private key ?

maybe you could send half the other half later ?

The payer would still have an incentive not to send it.

I'm wondering if there is something cryptographic whereby funds could be deposited at a BTC address, but both parties have only half of the key each. I'm thinking it might allow for instant payment for a retail transaction without the need for a counterparty.



Nope,

this is what an escrow service is for,
but for retail.... escrow is useless, the retailer has a reputation to up hold

One way you can use cash is to tear a banknote in two, providing one half now, and the other half later.

It ensures that the recipient is not paid any amount in advance, and ensures that the payer has no motivation to welch on payment, as half the banknote is of no use to either party.

Is there an analogy for Bitcoin that might be more efficient than escrow and without counterparty risk?

19147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Decentralized BTC Exchange Client. impossible to implament? on: October 22, 2011, 01:30:33 AM
Instead of an exchange, can we just have a decentralized ticker that reports any supported crypto-currency? It would only report the trades that have the value volunteered. The reason for this is that exchanging fiat currency for bitcoin requires trust anyway. It's not that I don't trust MtGox to report the trades accurately, but if we have to trust them, why not trust everybody and then use statistics to account for variance in each vector of bitcoin use. We can use the same ticker for accounting for any alternate blockchain. This would also of course be an alternate blockchain and the current prices would be included in every new block. We could even charge a transaction fee for price quotes.

huh?

i don't understand.
19148  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the price slowly climbing? on: October 22, 2011, 12:58:12 AM

ya thats what i thought, you have to find an offer yourself and once you do find an offer you want to take, you have to manually send the money to the individual....
send money to an anonymous individual, at your own risk  Tongue

19151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mass panic buy when reaches $1? on: October 21, 2011, 11:10:53 PM
Yeah but if you sold that 10k worth of bitcoins when it was at 2.50, you'd be selling them at a nickel a piece Smiley

that's just not true.
19152  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Flyers! on: October 21, 2011, 06:13:16 AM
i agree BUT

its make bitcoin look bad....

anyway if someone looks into bitcoin, the will come to understand that fact quickly, and tell their friends.

19153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Flyers! on: October 21, 2011, 05:05:22 AM
my girl friend said she will leave me if i post one of these flyers up anywhere ... lol
19154  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mass panic buy when reaches $1? on: October 21, 2011, 03:24:59 AM
i was just thinking how excited people would have been if it had gone from $2.04 to $2.72.

  true, there are many easily excitable in the audience.

i guess for many of us bitcoin was the first "stock market" experience , a bull trap can look like something to get excited about when you don't know
19155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Flyers! on: October 21, 2011, 03:07:47 AM
I suggested you could add some tear off strips on the bottom with a url on them and stick them to power poles and community noticeboards.

Even better some sticky tape with bitcoin logos on to attach them with Smiley

good tip. Done!

Edit: weusecoins.com is a better place for a complete newbi to start, the video is very cool

19159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I think the Bitcoin wealth pyramid hinders economic development on: October 20, 2011, 08:01:53 PM
I bought 25$ worth of bitcoin when it was ~0.75$
and then 100$ worth when it was ~13$
I'm saving these coins. and buying more as price drops
In the end i'll have invested 200$

i don't like buying things online because of the shipping and handling fees.
if there was a place in Montreal that accepts bitcoin i would go there weekly!
i would keep my 200$ investment, and only buy more coins when i plan to spend them.

if buying in btc was somehow cheeper. like a Groupon for bitcoin. i would buy.




19160  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in France: first legal decision directly related to Bitcoin? on: October 20, 2011, 06:42:43 PM
just call bitcoin a Crypto-currencies, and make up some laws.

And here we have it folks, it really is that easy. Just like we will all be billionaires next year when bitcoins are trading for $100000.

and ill bet the law they will make up will be...

decentralized Crypto-currencies are illegal!!!

everyone delete your BTCs or Else!
