OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wait a second. this could be BAD. I just realized something.
Women return things constantly.
Say Woman buys shoes for 10BTC, Woman returns shoes, Woman wants 10BTC back.
Meanwhile BTC went up, after hearing about Woman using BTC.
Woman, fights till death over it.

Several people have suggested clothing, shoes, handbags etc... A perfect match exists. It's called etsy.com They are a site for handmade and vintage stuff. Most of the merchants are some girl or guy working out of their residence. I have no idea whether or not or how one could convince etsy.com to accept bitcoins, but if it meant increasing sales, I think most any of those merchants would go for it. I think it works like ebay in that they pay some money to etsy per sale, so given etsy's terms, I'm not sure if they'd ever be able to do it through etsy itself or if they'd want to sneak around etsy and make a deal through some other channel. It's not just clothes and purses and shoes. They have a nice selection of hand made glass uh tobacco pipes. And other cool stuff. there really isn't a face-palm pic on the internet good enough for this thread.
This thread so embarass...  Etsy could be perfect for more smart women here, it's exactly what bitcoin needs, but it would only really work well for bitcoin if Etsy was bitcoin only. However if someone could convince Etsy to become an exchange or even just allow sellers to accept bitcoin, that could be a big plus. |

can any of you imagine what they use for passwords.
here is a hint:
"imadirtylittleslut"
and then they smirk everytime they type it. XD
We will have to insist they use more intricately thought provoking passwords.
That password is NSFW.

I forgot shoes.
Women love shoes more than all of the above.
sell shoes 4 bitcoins.

gay dudes, sparkly things, dogs and sex toys, that's how you get women.
Women love gay dudes, sex toys, sparkly things and dogs.
so if you want women in bitcoins, get boutique fashion designers to only accept bitcoins.

That site is full of spoofs  I wouldn't be surprised if hedge funds went into virtual currency trading eventually. But GS? no  I did not vetting of, research on or otherwise investigated the blog site. It could be anything from Warren Buffets own person blog or that of Micky Mouse's. I always assume information is invalid until I have a chance to perform research on my own and you should too. Just an interesting thing that pinged on the Google Alerts for Bitcoin so I passed it on. Enjoy! HAHA, way to cover your ass! |

I'm curious if there are any cards using PCI slots that can be used for mining?
Maybe even a PCI to PCI-E cable adapter, would something like that work if it exists?

I don't understand why this is being called a bot, wouldn't be more like a Scope?
I've been working on a mockup trading interface, similar to this but with a bunch more stuff and options, and I was going to call it a Visor, OmniVisor! xD and another called Anti-Botnic. Anti-botnic would just input chaos all over the place to mess with bots. xD like if you watched clarkmoodys orderbook it would look like a rave or myspace circa 2005. it would pretty much just mess with all the fake orders, it would gauge the time of how long the orders where in and just add and remove orders really fast to highlight the fake ones being pushed by bots.
A scope that a bot checks and the pulls the trigger while pointed at a target of your choosing. I hope that works out for you, in what language would this be written in? I can barely figure out spreadsheets! xD here is 1st version of anti-bot mockup: https://i.imgur.com/WQDgx.pngit still needs a lot more thought, it's a mixture of a trading interface with attack options. Some of the functions need more or a definition. like for instance "span orders", say you wanted to sell 10 BTC, using span orders, you would break up 10BTC into 100 orders and push everything around, similar to what the bots do. or "Blink orders", what that would do is take a few minutes of add/rem data and then add/rem the lowest ask and bid to each one. it would make order books wonky, and could possibly be considered DDosing I guess.But then you and everyone else could see what is real and what isn't. could also do this locally too. I figure we may as well start picking attack vectors, it's exactly what the bots running the exchanges right now are doing. Especially mtgox, the strangehold they have on mt gox is so much the price isn't even close to where it should be, mainly because one or 2 dudes are vampirizing or siphoning off the entire exchange. |

VHS won because they had a longer record time. even though the betamax did have slightly better resolution and overall quality of the picture better porn.
Fixed that for you that's it. Same reason why we have such a robust internet now, porn. |

Storing a decentralized currency on a centralized database (exchange, eWallet, whatever). How ironic.
Is storing "decentralized currency in a centralized database on yr home computer" somehow different though? You do have an underlying great idea there, one I would really like to see expanded on and in development. A method of decentralizing a wallet could be perfect. AFAIK that doesn't exist yet, I don't follow much of the development however. (I'm not a developer so it's not really my place to try pushing ideas too them until I can come up with something they don't know they need. One day I would like to be a part of it somehow even if it's just usability. I'm great with usability.) Certainly good practice, not keeping all of your eggs in one basket. Something I should add to the rant if I edit it, thanks for that. Yes, it's quite different. No one else is storing their wallet on my computer, just me. If my computer is compromised, then my security is compromised. No one else. It's decentralized. MtGox is compromised and thousands of users and their personal information is compromised. It has already happened. I don't want to pick apart your argument on semantics, but the basic idea I am trying to convey is safety in numbers. Indications do point to Mt Gox having been infiltrated days before the sell off, however once they were able to realize what happened, that the threat was indeed real. They did immediately issue a statement that they were in fact compromised. We really were lucky to get that upfront approach so quickly. Most of us did have strong passwords, so that list wouldn't have been completed until months later of 24/7 FPGA cracking, and yes I do agree with you it was fucked up. First time anything like that had ever happened to me, to my knowledge at least. However, the affect of which raised the entire baseline to the utmost importance of user-base integrity. That's why I do feel we can begin trusting again. Not an absolute trust, but a healthy & justifiable trust. Sounds like you have a well thought out approach, the people I'm trying to reach with this thread is those that really feel an unhealthy anxiety about bitcoin in general. I'm telling them that they really don't have to feel that way. |

I doubt any country will be eager to adopt Bitcoins as their official currency when any counter-party can effectively take control of blockchain at their leisure with insignificant investment in comparison to their running budgets .
...what? You think a country can't beat current hashing hardware amounts in the network? how many GPUs currently run on the network? lets say 50,000 units, think it's impossible to beat that number for any country? Even Greece can overtake blockchain if it wants too I thought we had more processing power combined than the latest super computer? A person in the guinness book of world records thread last week said about this. Don't quote me on it, but from what I recall China was operating the latest one. Right, combined we have a very significant processing power. Which consists of what? 50,000 GPus, 100k GPUs at best.. Give me $100M and I'll quadruple current hashing rate at minimum. What's $100M for a country? - it's like 100 dollar bill to me and you if not less Damn, I was not aware of this. May I ask you what someone would be able to do if they were to take control of the blockchain? |

A person in the guinness book of world records thread last week said something about this, I might be wrong, I have to look through that thread again. So don't quote me on it, but from what I recall China was operating the latest one. I don't honestly think they are ready for Bitcoin, even though if somehow they did, it would certainly pick up their economy. |

The latest version should show all the decimal places if you have something. If it's really small it will complain about fees. To get around that, you could send some Bitcoins to the first wallet then empty it sending it to the next wallet. After you have done this they should all be empty.
thanks man that worked! |

A paper bitcoin wallet doesn't exist on your home computer. Your money would really only exist in the block chain, which is decentralized. The private key would not be decentralized, of course, assuming you didn't want everyone to be able to spend your coins. From what I gather that is a long term storage solution with not so much in usability correct? |

*This isn't intended for security experts
**rant alert!
It was great in the beginning, the client was bitcoin's harbinger,
but now it's a completely new game that requires a level of security,
that isn't here or foreseeable yet. It's talked about, but it's still far away.
Out of maybe 20-40 issues I've seen since signing up to this forum the people with the most bitcoins lost due to theft, computer or even user failure was from running the client.
The real options right now that is not widely spread to new people, and is actually turning people away is not knowing to entrust your stake with an exchange or online wallet.
The people that run exchanges and online wallets have so much more to lose than you, so please use them.
If their site goes down, their business goes down, therefore the site being up and secure is of the utmost importance to them. This can be relied on, as trust and security is interdependent to them. If one is lost the other is taken for as long as the imbalance is happening.
Remember to do your own research into this.
If running the client is the most secure method for your situation, and you are not at Mensa level, I'm the only person telling you to reflect on this rant. I don't like seeing people pissed off, confused and just being kind of hateful and hugely skeptical toward and of one another.
So, if after all the research you have done, all of this is still becoming way to daunting for you, use an exchange or online wallet. You will feel so much better having that layer of detachment and you might even notice no transaction fees. After that all you have to really be mindful of is managing all of your passwords, and the computer you are using.
/end of line
OR just backup your damn wallet and sleep at peace....still requires running the client. |
