For each contract, how many BitCoins will you pay daily assuming the difficulty is the same as it currently is.

"My Account" page started messing up for me last night. The workers table columns are messed up.

the "score" column has the "last share at" value, the "last share at" has the "action" column, and the "score" value doesn't display any more.

Same with me

Good job! This is exactly what we need!

The reason I was bought into BitCoin was purely for the fact that it was not controlled by a central authority, and there was a limited supply of.

If the first real services are going to be illegal ones, or ones that I personally consider unethical, then convincing my community to join BitCoin will be much more difficult, and thus because I cannot buy local services with it because of this, I'd rather disassociate myself with BitCoin.

A potentially revolutionised idea, hijacked by crime and thugs.

So depressing.

I know that I would immediately start looking into writing an Android client (which I would in turn open source) if someone escrowed >100 BTC.


Wait a minute - what would this offer above and beyond https://www.mybitcoin.com/?

MyBitCoin.com, although a very trustworthy site, is a central point of failure, something that BitCoin is trying to steer away from. However I am not against the idea of "banks" like MyBitCoin.com in anyway. Using these as current accounts would be best where money can be transferred instantly between each other as long as they are MyBitCoin.com account holders.

As far as android clients and what-not, what about POS technology? How would that interface with BitCoin?

Ultimately it's good for the network for mining to be expensive. It makes it that much harder for a well financed attacker to dominate the network.

I agree with this comment 100%.

The point of solving blocks is to protect the network, the more of us that contribute to that, the greater the Block Chain's integrity will be.

One's wages will also go down in times of deflation.
149  Economy / Marketplace / Re: EVE Online in-game currency (ISK) on: January 27, 2011, 05:48:41 PM
Somebody should set up a site for game-currency trades, including BTC.

The only problem is how to send the money...

I'm in the process of setting up a UK exchange, so no worries. Fees will be very low.

Should be opened within 10-15 days.

Hail to the genjix!!! Looking forward to it!
151  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Anybody from the UK? on: January 25, 2011, 11:22:27 PM
I think, as mentioned before, the problem is that most of the British people are wanting to buy BTC instead of sell it. This alone makes the demand higher.

Glad to know others are out there with the same problem.

As for an exchange, since MTGox is already very well established, it doesn't matter what exchange people use, it is going to be roughly around that price, and so the UK prices will be 'pegged' to the BTC price in dollars.

Did BitCoin explode in America significantly before anywhere else in the worlds? It just seems that most of the guys who have BitCoins are in America, the First Miners.

The more difficult (computationally) it is to solve a block, the harder it is to come up with an alternate block chain in a closed network.

Thus more computers to the network are always welcome as each new addition brings more integrity to the block chain. What I think is scary, though, is that there are people who join BitCoin for the sole purpose of generating coins, the oppurtunity to generate free money is always captivating. Understandably, the cost for generating coins against the electricity consumed to do so is actually counter productive.

After a while this would mean that the average joe who joined for free money will no longer be driven by this incentive, and think: "Forget this, why generate coins? What's the point?" So they go offline, and gradually more and more people drop off the list of contributors to making the block chain maintain its difficulty, making the difficulty easier again with smaller communities.

I suppose people, upon hearing that the difficulty lowered, would be brought back to BitCoin to try to beat a "second BitCoin rush"

All in all, difficulty is good defence against the block chain attackers.

The scammers have arrived.  CoinPal will be closed for the next few days while I analyze a batch of fraudulent orders from this weekend and make any necessary changes to the site.  Any financial losses were well within expected ranges, so this is actually good news for CoinPal.  It's hard to build fraud-prevention measures without experiencing some fraud.

I am saddened to hear that. My condolences, but I agree with your conclusion and positive attitude.
154  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin has gone over $0.40 on mtgox on: January 23, 2011, 03:27:19 AM

Actually you are right. If by the time the bubble bursts and we have sufficient goods and services that can be purchased with BitCoin

So, what is this number for this "suffcient goods and services"? The only way we find out is through the market process.

It looks like it, indeed.
155  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Bitcoin has gone over $0.40 on mtgox on: January 23, 2011, 03:14:10 AM
The assumption of "tomorrow's" prices is actually "today's" price. But people are hoping that in a year's time the price is NOT what it is today.

Woe unto the speculators.

You seem to think it will not be backed up by goods and services but we don't actually know how to figure out how much goods and services to sustain a price.

Actually you are right. If by the time the bubble bursts and we have sufficient goods and services that can be purchased with BitCoin, then the price cannot fall beyond a certain threshold.I suppose it will only go down to zero if everyone loses faith in it, but that would be true for any currency.
156  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin's immunity to government action on: January 23, 2011, 02:50:19 AM
Zimbabwe? Brazil?

Do these countries have readily available internet service providers for cheap? I know that in Indonesia broadband is a bit a luxory. Most people go to internet cafes for high-speed broadband. At home, they use dial-up if its absolutly nessecary.

I can't see how countries like that would ever adopt BitCoin, when the main blindingly obvious drawback is that internet is not so freely available!

Maybe we should find a lovely island and just settle there, create the first country with BitCoin as its currency!

Or just keep it as it is, BitCoin - the stateless currency.

Nah man!

That's not what product-people are buying! They are buying exposure. Just like companies who spend money on billboards, does that mean everyone who looks at it has an obligation to be interested in it? If an advertiser paid you a bit to look at their advert is that unethical?

True I offer an incentive, but the incentive is for people to get exposed to the products, not to nessecarily buy them.

I haven't set up my own BitCoin PTC site as of yet Sad I don't have the manpower or the resources to launch that kind of a campaign.

My primary goal is to circulate BitCoin amongst more users.

I understand that that is a low amount for now, however, one is not considering the amount of money they are earning by themselves anyway, money which they could re-invest with rent referrals in the site.

So in reality, their earnings a month will be $1.20 + 1 BTC. Which is about 4 BTC, at the current exchange rate.

I don't see how this is unethical, could you please explain? Should some adjustments be made?
160  Economy / Marketplace / Willing to pay clickers on: January 22, 2011, 04:02:50 PM
OK, here's the deal.

I have joined some PTC sites, and would like to see how much "clicking" labour I can buy for my BitCoin.

If you don't know, PTC sites pay very little, like 1 cent per click, of which 4 clicks are minimum a day. This allows a clicker to earn about $1.20 a month.

I am willing to pay any individual one BitCoin for 30 continuous days of clicking 4 ads on a site I have signed up to as my direct referral. As my referral I do not steal any of the cash you earn from the site, you get to keep the $1.20 you make, but for every click you do, I get half a cent.

For example, if you click 4 ads a day, you will get 4 cents a day, and I will get 2 cents a day, so the site pays both of us 6 cents a day in total.

Out of the 2 cents I earn from you a day, I will pay you 1 BitCoin (I can only afford this if the price for BitCoins stay around $0.30 to $0.50 each).

I know it is tiny amounts, but I would like to start off small first to earn trust. I have more sites that I have signed up to and there is a potential to earn more, depending on how much "work" you want to do.

Clicking to view ads doesn't take much time at all, each ad takes up about 1 minute to look at? So let us say, just to be on the safe side, this would cost you about 15 minutes of your time a day? Plus you have the potential to increase your earnings through rented referrals etc.

I will pay upon completion of the contract, which is 30 days of clicking without a gap. Every 15 days I will pay half a BitCoin, so you get income twice a month.

If you are interested, or have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me. Or if you have any advice or constructive criticism, please don't hesitate to post on this thread.

Many thanks
