I am not directly involved with YACy, but can make software like this. Ill need to study more about blockchain networks tho, so far I understand say 60% of it. Would you use such a search engine daily?

The ATM looks very realistic, good job.

Perhaps you could link IRC chat into it. You would directly have a lot of chatters in the virtual world, except they would not move around 

So the idea is, a virtual world in which people can easily learn about bitcoin?

for doing nothing I once got $5.
for working about $100

PM'd

I wish   0.00000488 BTC. Its hard to win more.. maybe there is a strategy, like holding mouse button longer?

Its not me, Im at 0.02  I will add more today, I want to beat the 0.03 guy

Reminds me of the guys who said "BTC will never reach the $100 worth" 

yes, this is a really cool concept. I could make a decentralized search engine also, but I need to study upon blockchain technology 

I dont use google  


Sure, decentralized technology has a lot of power. For example there is http://www.yacy.net/en/index.html, but there may wel lbe one based on blockchain technology

I have not heard much about net neutrality, can you eleborate?

This is very good. 0.000002 BTC / 10 minutes  .

Is there a way the bot would show another interface?  I prefer blue or light gray.



I dont know if this has been solved already, but this is probably a problem printing the variable to the screen. Its logical because "" is an empty string, which the machine does not understand how to convert into a double.  You may want to add try/catch, but Im not sure if visual basic understand this. Alternatively make sure the String.length is at least 1.



This is idea of the gambling sites.. but if you only use the faucet or referral links, you always win

Say in 1 month + 1000. It would require at least 9 months. Now the coin will fluctuate in between, say it is fluctuating 50% of the time. This would lead to 18 months or 1.5 year. I would say between 2015.5 and 2018 it could be at $10.000. If it happens, people are really going to regret it.. there will be new forum members wondering when it rises to $100.000 

Buying is the fastest.

Alternatively, if you just want to try the system, you can get some small amounts to toy around with using say faucets (will take you a week, and a total of 4-5 minutes to get 0.0001 BTC).

I never won more than 448 BTC 

In 2 weeks, hmm, if the past is any lesson I think between 400 and 600. I am a little more optimistic and think $464. Things can go very fast tho, it may well be $600. If I figured out the way to accurately predict bitcoin on the short term, Id be rich now 

Many people are scared of new technologies. This has been the case with the first train, the first airplanes etc. Sure there is always risk, but if you get the BTC for simple tasks  you are not losing anything. For example, I get BTC for talking on these forums and enjoy it   So in that way, the risk is very low, my life does not depend on it. In addition, there are extra features: like if I have family in the other side of the world, I can send a family member some money which arrives in 5 minutes, from which they can buy a nice present.
When you get used to bitcoin, the 1-3 workdays waiting for money transfer just become completely absurd. You may know how fast we can get used to new technologies.. its been only like what.. 10-15 years since most people get mobile phones?



Things do not happen overnight. I remember as a kid, back in the 90s, that you had like 5 websites you could visit, one of them being Yahoo. And you could do this cool stuff like search or email.  At the time people would say 'Why would I need the web? nobody is going to need it'. Look at where we are today.  Change always takes time, and within 5 years Bitcoin has caused a lot of change already.  Remember that Bitcoin is not like some silly website like Twitter, but a completely new technology.

Bitcoin has the network effect, like a phone has.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect. The more people use Bitcoin, the more valuable it becomes. There are at least 4400 bitcoin accepting stores right now. You are still an early adapter if you join. The features of digital currencies are too good to just ignore, it can make life much easier for tourists, shopping, business etc.

Imagine the situation, say 10 years from now, by which you take an airplane to the other side of the world. You can pay everything you want directly with bitcoin. No need for changing currency.. easy right? In addition, you would understand the value of things.. if you say $2 you may know what its worth, but what about 378 japanese yen. its much or few? so I think cryptocurrency will be benefitial in this area.

For online shopping it is troublesome to go trough process of forms, registrations.. I want to be able to buy things online with one mouse click.  

Give it some time.

Because sex is the greatest common divisor. Some person may be interest in ships, another person in cars.. but its likely both are interest in sex  Like they say, sex sells.

Alternatively, you may want 3d scanning software, which creates 3d models based on camera input. Half a year ago it was still state-of-the-art technology, I must say I dont know how things evolved in the meanwhile.

Or you could skip a bit of the modelling, and make it like minecraft. I've heard this game is very popular and uses just cubes.  Perhaps as name Bitcraft  .

I am not the owner of this software, but I think you want to solve this trough having several copies inside the network. This is what HDFS (the google filesystem) does.
Of course, an attacker could host a lot of files on a botnet and take the whole botnet offline.  Alternatively, you could spread tiny files across the network, of which a large group has a copy.  If I am not mistaking, this is something that bittorrent is doing. It could have like a reward system, if you upload data or participate in supporting the network you get a small btc ?

Another issue is speed and availability. Someone turns their computer off, you dont want the files to disappear for say 12 hours. If you store say a movie, you dont want it to be transfered at 2 kb/s.

I think you want to add little games inside it, by which playing you can earn btc.
Does the simulator support chat?

You can skip production costs, if you produce in another continent. For example, you can get one of this flying drone helicopters for about $10 in China (I have one).  Of course, you have shipping costs;

Perhaps a simple serial/usb cable to a tiny board, with the LCD attached. Prints whatever data you send from the computer.
Here is a list of some cheap boards : http://www.intorobotics.com/alternative-arduino-boards/
Example prices:
MSP: USD $10
Teensy : USD $16.00
Funnel : USD $16.84

For example the MSP has input/output pins for easy integration of external devices. It does not come with an LCD screen tho.  Im guessing the total cost would be around $20 to $25 to produce in the cheapest way possible using standard boards.

Alternatively, you could link the LCD screen directly to your computer and use computer software to interact with it. Assuming the LCD has some mico-controller attached to it.
