Bitcoin: legal headache.
The line I usually use: "Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer crypto currency backed by proof-of-work and a public psuedonymous transaction record."
proof-of-work means when the boss looks over your shoulder you point and say "look what i did!". does proof-of-work have any other meaning to the average person? |

thanks. i thought bitstarter was looking for investors to invest their bitcoins in start up projects? i'm not asking for any bitcoins from anyone for this. any direct monetary investment would come from my pocket. just want to trade people's skills and time for a % in what they work on. most probably won't put it on gblse.com... too complicated. too messy. too many complaints about that site's ease-of-use. |

but they could only do it once.
after that, the 300,000 coins would have been distributed more evenly thereby giving up the power to do it again.
That is like saying that you can only kill a person once. After killing me, you'd never have the power to do it again. Does that make me the winner or the loser? i already decided a while ago which one you were actually. but silly me took you off 'ignore' for this thread. |

Satoshi probably has ten times that amount, or more.
As for people being afraid about it, it's the same reason children fear the bogeyman under the bed; utterly irrational.
Of course. Just like the boogeyman, Satoshi doesn't actually exist. There's a small group of early adoptors though, who all have 300k+ bitcoins, who could all singlehandedly wreck bitcoin temporarily at any moment they choose. If you have to be affraid of it or not is another question though. but they could only do it once. after that, the 300,000 coins would have been distributed more evenly thereby giving up the power to do it again. |

What are the easiest ways to anonymously get bitcoins to start trading in in the first place? I know I can go through a trade exchange, but then I have to give them my paypal/bank account/blah details, and I'd rather not do that.
I'm wondering:
how traceable are virtual credit cards?
can I buy bitcoins for cash (EUR or GBP) anywhere?
see my sig. it's a nice image, vladimir, but it doesn't link anywhere. |

How long does the process take once documents have been submitted to increase the limit?
How many weeks?
thanks
how many months?  i've see many positive answers to this question: Have you been able to withdraw USD or BTC from your MtGox account?
but absolutely no answers to this question: Have you been able to get it unfrozen, if it was frozen at this time?
anyone out there actually had their account unfrozen successfully, which was pending review? |

thanks very much for the code, bitsky. here it is in case anyone else finds it helpful: #!/usr/bin/php
<?
$mbox=imap_open('{mail.mymaildomain.com:110/pop3}INBOX', 'user@mymaildomain.com', 'mypassword') or die('POP3 connection failed');
$mails=imap_num_msg($mbox);
echo $mails." new mails arrived\n";
for ($i=1; $i<=$mails; $i++)
{
$mbody=imap_body($mbox, $i);
$lines=explode("\n", $mbody);
foreach ($lines as $tmp)
{
$tmp=trim($tmp);
if (empty($tmp)) { continue; }
echo "BODY[".$tmp."]\n";
}
# imap_delete($mbox, $i);
}
#imap_expunge($mbox);
imap_close($mbox);
?>
basically i set up a new pop box, and a cron to run this script every 10 minutes. edit: i tested the delete/expunge commands too and it works fine, thanks |

I like this initiative had been thinking of doing this myself  I'll watch this thread! who did your awesome logo by the way? I had someone on the forum create it but I believe they are long gone :/ I'll see if they are still around! i'm hoping i can get some designers and programmers thinking long term... i suspect most will prefer some kind of immediate payment (which i can do a little bit to get the ball rolling). but maybe once things get going and we've got a few successful projects running, more might be tempted to come on board for a % deal. so far no responses for bitcoincoop logo. |

thank you both for your interest.
at the moment, there are more ideas in my head than i have managed to put down on paper, both for how this co-op will work and for some of the projects it could be working on.
s&m (ha, just noticed that), i'm sure your talents will come in handy too.
anyway, for the actual projects, i think we should start with something simple (simple like a coin toss game, although maybe more interesting).
i'm open to suggestions at this point for just about any kind of bitcoin-related online business, but will probably start with the smaller, quicker ones so that we can get a feel for how such a co-op will work, and also so that development of bitcoincoop.com can keep pace with the rest of what we're doing.
...will come back and post with some actual direction, if no other suggestions are forthcoming.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / screenshots of ancient bitcoin client?
|
on: October 04, 2011, 01:07:42 PM

does anyone have (or could make) screenshots of very early bitcoin client software?
for those of us that just got started this year, were the early versions (pre 0.3) much different in looks/functionality?
i'd be interested to see what the very first ones looked like.
