on capitalization, I like this lots:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Introduction#Capitalization_.2F_Nomenclature

Accepted practice is to use Bitcoin (singular with an upper case letter B) to label the protocol, software, and community, and bitcoins (with a lower case b) to label units of the currency.

but when it comes to the plural, I can't find solid info.  Personally I've been using bitcoin as the plural. 

"I have 5 bitcoin" instead of "I have 5 bitcoins"

then it gets hairy with fractions... do you have "0.8234 bitcoin" or "0.8234 bitcoins"

when looking at the SwC FAQ we write "Why do bitcoins have value?"  should it be "Why do bitcoin have value?" because that sounds fucked when reading it in my head.

technically its bitcoinz

Did you mean internetly?

Quote
A flash mob (or flashmob)[1] is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression.

The Target: Some (any) bank located adjacent to a high automobile traffic area.

Time: About a hour (at most) prior to when the bank opens.

Can you imagine the ripple effects via social medias by those witnessing several hundred people standing in line in front of a bank prior to its schedule opening, especially if many of them are holding signs? Signs of what? Funny you should asks. Half with images of cats, and the other half of geese with the word "Honk" on them.

Ideally, two hours prior to the bank opening would just about guarantee social, then mainstream media exposure.

What happens when the bank opens? They walk in and welcome themselves to the free candy, then walk out. Every 20-30 person refills the candy the dish.

If/when the actual media arrives with cameras/producers in tow and start asking questions of those in line, they would all be instructed to say "no comment" and "talk to the organizer". When asked where is the organizer, they point across the street whereupon there's a sharply dressed man holding a sign that simply reads "WHY?" When approached with questions, the media will be taken aback when he replys only in...wait for it...Klingon.

I have a suspicion who donated the latest 0.10037 BTC, but of course, I can't confirm it. Thanks!

I looked at the tx to see why you have such a suspicion and saw why. If you suspect me, sorry it wasn't it. Now, I too have to thank them for Bitcoin 100's donation, as well as for the one to Sean's Outpost on their behalf.

Did somebody already mention planting a Bitcoin flag?
A flag could be amazing! But who has one? Does one exist?

The deadlines are November 1st for a delivery in Norway and November 4th for a delivery in South Africa.

the BTC logo on a stick would work as a flag.

but honestly im not going to support some random guy to be the first user of crypto in antartica. if he does it, cool. he beat a true crypto fan. but having some guy do it for money seems like fail to me.



If I'm not mistaken, the guy's selling advertising on his sled to help fund the expedition. A Bitcoin flag and purchasing something via Bitcoin while at the South Pole are afterthoughts.

Looking for more logo submissions. Remember, you don't have to win, for you may accidently submitted a logo of which I may glean some element from of which you would earn $25 USD via Bitcoin.

Consider using a Lincoln cent sized filled mushroom cap cavity pizza for visualization purposes incorporated in the logo. Just a though.

When does the competition end? I'll make a logo tomorrow.

Oct. 31/Nov. 1, thereabouts.

How are you planning on shipping to Europe without the pizzas going bad?

Via a warning: Consume at own risk if shipping takes more than 48 hours. Otherwise, consider it a novelty item.

Haha I think it'll take longer than 48 hours. Maybe you could laminate the pizzas.

I thought about using one of those home vacuum sealers. Better than the dry ice option of which would be more expensive.

I'm pretty sure that there's regulations about transporting food via the mail carriers of which I would have to be in compliance, but I'll consider that aspect down the road when it becomes warranted.

You probably can't ship to Australia. Their customs are a bitch when it comes to food.

Then I'll declare it as a craft item.

Upon further research, I can bake the micro pizzas in mushroom caps: http://www.melissassouthernstylekitchen.com/2012/01/supreme-pizza-stuffed-mushrooms.html

Is 0.5 considered one unit?
No, but a half is, just like 1000 is not one unit, but a kilo is. One kilo, two kilos, one half kilo, and so on.

I see my error.

I have 0.5 bitcoins.
I have a .5 bitcoin.

Albeit not common to say it that way, the keyword in the phrase is "a", thus one unit.

Question: If a mugger said, "Give me your bitcoin!", do I had over to him the protocol or a single bitcoin?
5915  Economy / Goods / Re: Bruno's Micro Pizzeria on: October 25, 2013, 03:59:10 PM
Bruono, put me down for one.

Down!

Over and beyond the novelty aspect, I guess these pizzas could be shipped and fit for human consumption given that their sizes (22mm; 31.4mm; 42mm) are more practical than say a 4mm micro pizza of which would not be fit for consumption (via mail) unless present on site.

I envision selling them as novelty items made with premium ingredients at a very reasonable price point, but if desired for eating via shipping, the cost wpuld be considerable higher with a slightly more profit margin built in.

Nice project,

Very good to eat




delicious

What a sick bastard! You don't eat pets. OTOH, I wonder what would they taste like on pizza. What I have in mind I would need the baby ones.

Um the plural usage is right there in your quote.

Quote
and bitcoins (with a lower case b) to label units of the currency.

Do you also say I won five hundred dollar or man prices in the UK were expensive that [...] was 10 pound.

It is units of currency thus it is plural.   The only time the units of currency is singular is when it is one unit.

That will be one dollar.
That will be one bitcoin.

That will be two dollars
That will be two bitcoins.



I have a half dollar. I have .5 dollars.
But that's still one unit. A half is a unit. I have two half dollars. That makes one whole dollar. Simple.

Is 0.5 considered one unit?

That is crazy.

NSA can look up Jason's cell phone and email records and see who he was talking or emailing around this time to pinpoint who it was... not smart, but then again, probably not real.

Really, someone would not go to such lengths to hide their identity, and then blow it by meeting with Jason who tweets it, LOL.

Really, someone would not go to great lengths to build and maintain Silk Road, and then blow it by operating the golden goose from a library.
