I don't understand why people discuss other signature campaigns in this thread. There are special topics for that.

Because PD thread has almost become a general discussion thread. Wink

Aha sorry I just noticed today when I searched it up on Google. Thought it'd be a cool share

Please lock this thread Smiley

It's not 2011 anymore, and it's not April's fools. I thought I'd practise the dark arts of necromancy on this classic thread, now that Wikipedia accepts Bitcoin donations, this time for real.

https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/30/wikimedia-foundation-now-accepts-bitcoin/

(Necromancy is never pretty so apologies to anyone who read the thread and thought it's still a joke)

As I can see wikimedia is accepting bitcoin. Does it mean we'll get to see the bitcoin logo when wikipedia will raise donation ?

So, at least, Wikimedia is now accepting Bitcoin.

franky1 has a point here. A good security is way harder to establish than a decent UI.
So, when they are not able to get the second right, what makes you think, they got the first right? Trust?

cha ching, this guy gets it.

making a front end look good is simply, and fast to do. but to make a secure backend takes ALOT of effort. so if the site owner is LAZY with the front end, then dont expect detailed and thoroughly checked and robust code behind the scenes

I beg to differ u on this. If u have heard of a scam site called oilrigcontractors.com (now down), they had a superb UI. I have also seen a lot other top level scams sporting superb UI. UI has really nothing to do with site security. Moreover excessive use of JS for beautification makes a site vulnerable to XSS attack. BTC-e also sports a weak UI, but that does not make them an insecure site.

thats my point though. if scammers can make a good UI, and do it in days. then any slap-dash coded UI should be put on a lower trust rating than a scammer.. although this MLM is also a scam, which makes it the low of the low of the low in trust rating.. so as i said, screw it ill just quote it

im sorry but after 4 months work your 'skeleton' UI looks weak.

i don't recommend anyone using it at all. i smell security weaknesses and potential for loss at every click.

if you are silly enough to sign up. do not use an email address you us for other exchanges and DEFINITELY not the passwords you usually use. many "coming soon" websites are made purely to gather login details in the hope to find one fool that also uses it on another exchange that is funded. or to atleast gather emails to spam you with scams.


as for btc-e having a weak UI.. excuse me. they have managed to have the trading, the login, the chat, the tradepairs all there, right on the 'homepage' and also keep it secure. not sure where your calling btc-e weak. im not talking about glamour with shiny GIF's im talking about sloppy basic code, feature lacking on a front end. BTC-E does not have sloppy code, but this MLM does.

im now worried more about why your defending an obvious MLM scam.

U have a misconception that MLM = SCAM. Let me tell u that MLM structure of payment to its users which has legit businesses model is absolutely legal. People always confuse MLM with Ponzi as Ponzi also plays on the Pyramid model. But Ponzi pay new investor with old investor's money, whereas MLM pays its marketeers for every new sale where part goes to the direct seller and rest gets distributed in the chain of marketeers by which the end marketeer is attached to the company.

By the way, I wont be defending a business if there's a slightest hint of scam. But calling a business scam before its launch, while it is quite open about its business model is pure unjust. I'm not one of those who'll bang their heads on wall to get Amazon or Ebay to accept Bitcoin. Rather I'd like to see pure Bitcoin companies coming up to create a true Bitcoin ecosystem.

If u like BTC-e UI that is your call. But, accept it or not, compared to CoinBase UI BTC-e is nothing.

since everyone is trying to reserve a spot I would like to do so also, its annoying to see others who dont have a good status try to reserve a spot.

How can u reserve a spot whilst the rates are not yet out !!! iPhone 5 pre-sale ?
1549  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Satoshi Nakamoto be world's first trillionaire ? on: July 30, 2014, 09:06:50 AM
I firmly believe that Satoshi is a collaboration of 3-4 developers, that likely mined early but the coins were distributed among them.



But the blockchain analysis does not support your point of view.

IMHO UI does not reflect security of a website. It is just a mask to attract customers.
1552  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Satoshi Nakamoto be world's first trillionaire ? on: July 29, 2014, 09:36:14 PM
Even if Satoshi became the world's first trillionaire, he could't sell all his stash for that much money. The market would have to grow many orders of magnitude to be even remotely able to absorb such a big amount of coins!

He cannot become a trillionaire unless the Bitcoin price skyrockets from what it is now.

Assuming he had all 21million coins that aren't even out yet, I think the price would need to be about 5000 per coin(I am just mathing here folks).....

LoLz... u r really weak in math... r not u ? Wink

1554  Local / Mining (India) / Re: In-depth comparison between currently popular BTC miners on: July 29, 2014, 07:11:43 PM
I made a comparison sheet sothat all can be on the same page about buying the next miner
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gtj8ts3zEUZPwSBZQnYZwi__zGfg-0SKVIdH_17GqYw/edit#gid=0

You can add new miners or correct erroneous data points. Keep the pre-order folks away please.

Add a Return on Investment (% ROI) column in the spreadsheet will make the list complete.
Many of the miners prices are varying and only with estimated %ROI column we can compare miners.
Make sure the %ROI is based on BTC price itself. Which will help to draw up a consistent view.
Google docs help articles have all the coding required for that. Hope we can see an updated sheet soon.

For ROI what should be the time span to be taken into account ?
1555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do I use bitcoin if I have no internet? on: July 29, 2014, 11:09:35 AM

This is the real truth.
1556  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What bitcoin myth you want to see us bust next? on: July 29, 2014, 11:05:30 AM
Another myth: 'Bitcoin in it's current state is ready for primetime and mass adoption'

I'd like to hear more about this, mainly though, what can be done or is being done

+1

If OP was really interested in busting myths and do something good for bitcoin, he would take on the truth even if it hurts a bit right now. Critical and constructive criticism is much better for the entire ecosystem than overly positive propaganda that hides the inconvenient truth. Selling an unfinished product without telling the entire truth can come back and bite us all.

But hey, maybe OP is indeed sincere in his alleged intentions, but only he can prove so.


Well, this is not really a myth, it isn't ready for the mainstream and that's why it's not mainstream yet. But the tools to get there are being build as we write this.
The technology is young, we are still laying down the roads, that's expected process and needs time.
Nothing to bust here really.

So far, we haven't picked anything, so please give us more suggestions.

here is a list of Bitcoin Myths. pick up the one of your choice Wink

1558  Economy / Services / Re: Pocket Rockets Casino | Signature Campaign | Earn BTC by being active on BCT! on: July 27, 2014, 06:11:16 PM
>but why r u saying that majority is with 100 posts/month ? they r not.
They are. I get tons of PMs a day and I'm also talking to users. So far not even a handful of users requested that.

The 400 post ones only get cheated most of the time anyway by the way.. Try to make 100 decent posts a month without rambling one-liners for a change. I certainly could not do that without making up text that is not really "me". (and also sound like trying too hard while doing it)

A hundred are 3.33 proper posts a day. You don't have to post every day, you can do them while still having a life and not being online 24/7. This is more honest to me than any other way that focus solely on quantity.


This is a marketing campaign, it's about real users making quality posts and just being themselves.

Payout is guaranteed, so everything is fine for those that do not try to cheat the system.

I did not get the bold part. Care to explain ?
1559  Economy / Services / Re: Pocket Rockets Casino | Signature Campaign | Earn BTC by being active on BCT! on: July 27, 2014, 05:32:56 PM
@BitCoinDream
The majority is okay with monthly and I'd rather keep it this way.
Weekly is a pain to do with campaign hoppers etc. My inbox is full already. It's really for everyone's sake to keep it this way to be able to respond fast.

We'll definitely run stable and announce/publicize everything in OP in time Wink

Edit:

FYI: forever21 left the campaign today without eligible posts and therefore no payout.

a stable monthly campaign is fine. but why r u saying that majority is with 100 posts/month ? they r not. 100 posts r too low for a monthly campaign.
1560  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Who's brave enough to invest their life savings into Bitcoin? on: July 27, 2014, 01:04:46 PM
Reading a story from a few years ago where someone invested all their life savings into Bitcoin and started to live off Bitcoin. that guy was a lucky guy as now the price as more than tripled to when he invested in it. Anyone else brave enough to do this?

It can probably be done in developed countries where u r secured by social securities. U'll get life's basic facilities free of cost. But in a developing country it cant be imagined as people will dies starving if price crashes.
