Could you go into more detail as to how this would work? I also know what hawala is.

Well, both sites are already connected to the Bitcoin network. It's just a matter of moving the BTC and crediting an account on the other site. It's not really that complicated.


But what about non-bitcoin cash?

Is this the sort of thing ripple was designed for?
2364  Economy / Marketplace / Re: 20 Bitcoin for a good name on: April 06, 2011, 09:00:04 AM
I think you should go with a name that's not so much a pun, and obvious parallels with existing services:

Bitcoin Stock Exchange (BCSE or BSE)

Or something easy to remember:

Bitsto.com (for 'bit stock' and currently avaliable)

BSE, isn't that the officia term for mad cow disease?

Bisto is a brand of gravy in the UK & Ireland, so Bitsto is a little too close for comfort.

Just on the point of growing your own fruit and vegetables, if you do have land (and it takes land to do this) then yes it is a lot cheaper to grow your own than to buy. There are a lot of natural, effective options available to those who want to spend the time.

But there is the issue, time, growing your own food is time/labor intensive. So if you live in the countryside and have 1/4 acre or more you would be surprised how much food you could grow there with enough work. I know from experience, having spent some time "homefarming" before leaving Ireland.

But this doesn't scale, the reason a lot of this is worthwhile for the individual is because they can put in the needed effort to get the most out of every inch of ground. I used to use nettles as liquid fertiliser (stick them in a barrel of water, after a week it smells like cow shit, great for plants, full of nitrogen, pour on the smelly liquid). But this kind of agriculture can't be done automatically on a large scale with only a few farmers.

So would that mean sites like mtgox allowing instant transfer to sites such as btcex and vice versa?

Sure.

Also, the forex markets/exchange providers should be careful not to reveal their identity to each other.

2367  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin conspiracy theories. on: April 06, 2011, 05:46:39 AM
Wasn't Bitcoin created in big part to resist governament, big banks  etc conspiracies?

That's what they want you to think, remember, just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you.

For instance, a professional operated and marketed exchange is one element that is desperately needed. An exchange that can handle big volumes and can be trusted by investors.

Not only that, but we also need more forex (mtgox/bcm) markets that are outside of the USA's jurisdiction.

The recent Liberty Dollar court ruling should make anyone in the USA, who is participating in a Bitcoin exchange service, very nervous.

Also, any large exchanger will draw the attention of local law enforcement eventually. I can think of many conditions that would lead an investigator right to the doorstep of a large and successful Bitcoin market.

What we need are thousands of little participating exchangers all over the world. It doesn't make sense to have a P2P currency with a few large centralized markets.


So would that mean sites like mtgox allowing instant transfer to sites such as btcex and vice versa?

2371  Economy / Marketplace / 20 Bitcoin for a good name [CLOSED] on: April 06, 2011, 05:16:21 AM
We (I and a few others) will be launching our bitcoin stock market soon (next couple of weeks) where anyone will be able to trade any kind of share certificate of their own making, essentialy it will be a great way to raise money for any venture they see fit.

It will be able to trade shares(that is, shares as they are tradionaly understood, with votes and dividends etc.)
Futures.
Dept/loans
And any other financial based contract a person can devise.

Originally we have called it "The BlackMarket" but it seems most people find this too shady.

What I am looking for is a clever name for:
1)Our company, we'll be doing this and another venture(reputation system) soon.
2)This stock market

Entries must have available domain names for both names (or a clever domain name to suit the project/comany name) posted with the entry.

Winning entry gets 20 bitcoin.

Go!!!!

-----EDIT------
Does not need the word bitcoin or any play of the word bitcoin, it's ok if it does, just doesn't need it.

2372  Economy / Economics / Re: A Resource Based Economy on: April 06, 2011, 05:07:24 AM
I think that's enough bashing of lightrider, welcome to the bitcoin community. What you can do to ensure bitcoins uptake is to accept bitcoin as payment for goods or services.

There are many different ideologies on this forum, the most common one seems to be Libertarian-ish, while we may dissagree with other ideologies this forum is about bitcoin, the money. So lets stop fussing and get to work.

Show me the money.
2373  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: NEEDED URGENTLY: Professional Bitcoin Exchange and More Serious Project Work on: April 05, 2011, 10:17:21 AM
Yeah, I get the feeling that a good few people are working on their own projects that just aren't ready yet, at least this is the situation with me.
2374  Economy / Economics / Re: A Resource Based Economy on: April 04, 2011, 08:10:48 AM
The reason money exists in the first place is to allow the allocation of finite resources. Where resources are limited but wants (and to a lesser extent needs) are not. With regards bitcoin as a god intermediary step, sure fine. The fact that bitcoin cannot be manipulated and diluted the way that fiat currency can is a big bonus and helps prevent governments or other groups stealing wealth by manipulating currency.
2375  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The term "mining" has got to go on: April 04, 2011, 08:08:05 AM
The term also allows new users to understand just how bitcoins come into creation. I bet most people think that their money cant just be printed.
2376  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Improving the Liquidity of Bitcoin on: April 04, 2011, 06:07:00 AM
The problem is, when doing business over the internet you need to tie into traditional financial systems, with all the issues and problems associated.

These problems include:
chargebacks
Red-tape, excessive legislation
High legislated costs (insurance, certification etc.)

The way around this is a face to face bitcoin for cash over the counter kind of trade.

This requires sellers to be physically present to do this though.

I've already said the primary reason is that the project changed and your skill-set didn't match.
I realize this was directed towards kiba, but, again, I'd like to point out that I'm great with python. Is there some other requirement that I don't meet?

Well we thought you were not interested, I asked genjix to contact you to bring you in on the client development side of things and then really didn't hear much back from you. genjix didn't tell me anything so I assumed that you were either not up for it or genjix didn't much want to deal with you.

We've moved on quite a bit with the client now, and it's already been opensourced.
https://gitorious.org/black-market/black-market-client

The next step is making sure it easily installs and runs on various planforms and then the gui.

How's your gui development skills? AFAIK it would be done with QT

You mean this advice?
Quote
What you should do is pick your own project, work on it for a couple of months, release it, get some users and then sell it for bitcoin. This way you get experience, build up a portfolio of work and crate capital at the same time.

Hogwash? That's good advice for anyone, that's exactly what I'm doing now. It's the best advice to follow if you lack experience, you don't have to work for anyone to get experience you just have to create, and you can do that yourself.

I've already said the primary reason is that the project changed and your skill-set didn't match.

When I was back in Ireland, I spent a lot of time job hunting, doing interview after interview. Almost without exception if they didn't want to hire me I never heard back from them. Sometime I could guess the reason but most of the time I just didn't know. It meant I never really knew what I was doing wrong, and probably repeated the same mistakes. It made it really difficult for me to improve.

I gave you feedback so you can take something from this, something positive, but you've taken it as a personal insult. Take what I've said as something to improve on. I like you, you're very active on the forums and I think this 3rd attempt at the bitcoin weekly will succeed. Chill

Well, this is not the most pleasant thing to wake up to. I would think that this sort of thing should be dealt with in private(not airing your dirty laundry in public sort of thing), but since it's been brought out into the open then I guess we'll have to deal with it that way.

I apologize for my complusion to air this thing in public. I guess this job left me a bad taste in my mouth.


Kiba, Chill, what I pm'd you was meant as advice, something you could use to reflect on, and use to make some self improvements. I hadn't complained to anyone about you. Do you think I'm like some fat executive hanging out in a boardroom with others, smoking cigars while we laugh and crack jokes about our underlings at their expense?

I'm just some person on a crappy, tiny, laptop in China who teaches English for a living. Trying my best to get something done. If I wanted to badmouth you I would have written a public post on the forum to air those things I sent you in the pm.


You need to COMMUNICATE with me if there's an issue with my work.

You can't say "Oh, yeah...that's guy not autonomous, unenthusiastic about work, only care about the money and not the job" in your advice.

I only worked for one week and did the job correctly and accordingly to deadline. That is what I know.

You thought my dislike for fossil as "lack of enthusiasm". However, you forget that it was textual information. You don't know what I think. That's bad.

I seem to not be in contact with genjix or with any other employees. That's also a big problem right here.

You're my boss, not a Chinese guy who teach English. You're responsible for making things run on time and making sure everyone is on the same page.

Similarly, I am not "kiba", but your employee. I can't help you if you don't communicate.  If my clients or employer said I did bad work, my reputation is the one that's getting chopped. You got an ISSUE with me, you let me know ASAP.

I don't even know that genjix was someone I was supposed to report to.

You keep changing your post, so I'm quoting you and signing my post.

Allow me to COMMUNICATE this: your role/position/job disappeared when the project changed. .I have no use for a relatively inexperienced Ruby developer that doesn't understand Public Key cryptography in a Python project that uses it heavily. Ryland is in the same boat to a certain extent (although he understands public key cryptography, and had the chance to work with genjix).

It's unfortunate but that happens.

I had just hired you, it's not like we have been working together for years and suddenly you changed, if I don't like the way you do things(no response for days, trying to get me to promise that you would have a job longer than what I had said, telling me how I should spend my companies money etc.) then it's up to me whether to continue working with you or not.

I didn't like your attitude, and spending a few days working with you was more than enough for me to conclude that our business relationship had come to an end. I'm not your personal coach, and have tried to be as non-confrontational about it as possible, I gave you feedback so you could use it, not post it all over the forum, continuing to beat a dead horse.

What do you want? what are you trying to achieve?
