The idea of promotion of bitcoin through an organized letter-writing campaign by potential customers and/or donors, is brilliant, effective, and One I've been preaching. 

In fact, this thread gives me another brilliant idea.

I'm going to go create it.    I'll be right back...  and show it to you.


Are you back yet? ^_^

You don't necessarilly know who the person is

Before you trade with bitcoins for something, whether using bitcoins or any other currency, you should probably establish an idea of whether or not you trust the individual or merchant, whether by knowing them or their reputation or some other acceptable method that seems legitimate and verifiable.

A few years back, Astroglide had a data breach where anyone who had ordered a free sample from their website had their personal data leaked. Among the data, many many people had ordered a sample sent to George W. Bush.

Send a distasteful but not dangerous item to a politician service.

I can mail copies of the Constitution to any politician in the U.S. Cheesy

heh, I found this thread from http://forumquotes.witcoin.com/p/340/A-distasteful-but-not-dangerous-item-mailed-to-a-politician
interesting idea!

I'm reading the same questions again and again and again.
We need moderators who can close those threads and point to the already existing ones.

Maybe it is time to start a bitcoin stack exchange site?

Forums aren't really designed for Q&A.


I am working on a site for q&a.  It will be similar to witcoin, but specifically allowing users to pay for someone to answer a question and for the answerer to get paid.  Unlike justanswer.com, however, the q&a will be public and allow users other than the initial question asker to also pay to see the answer.  Feel free to join #hivemynd for more info on the idea if anyone is interested.

Apparently he is. ^_^

<necrodearia> Has there been any effort to establish bitcoin to be included in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217 ?
<necrodearia> http://www.iso.org/iso/home.html
<necrodearia> Contact them and suggest to add support for bitcoin? http://central@iso.org/
<necrodearia> durr
<necrodearia> Apparently ISO fails at making an email link
<necrodearia> central@iso.org
<necrodearia> http://www.currency-iso.org/iso_index/iso_tables/iso_tables_a1.htm
<necrodearia> http://www.iso.org/iso/support/faqs/faqs_standards.htm Technology moves on - what about ISO standards?
<necrodearia> wow, http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=52600 from 2008 is free
<necrodearia> but http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=46121 from last month is not
<necrodearia> 7th edition
<necrodearia> http://www.iso.org/iso/standards_development/maintenance_agencies.htm#4217
<necrodearia> contact @ office@currency-iso.org
<necrodearia> Otherwise if someone lives in Switzerland or can call  +41 58 399 4255 then perhaps they can be contacted locally or by phone
<necrodearia> There is no country or governmental entity to support or back a currency.  e.g. no government agency to contact ISO non-governmental organization to influence or convince them to add the currency to their standards.
<necrodearia> There is only us, individuals that are participative in using and accepting Bitcoin.
<necrodearia> So, I suggest or recommend many of us collectively contact the ISO and express to them to add it to their standards and also spread the word to others to do the same until they accept it?

Maybe if ISO accepts payment in Bitcoins for buying their latest standard revisions or supporting them with donations, they will add it to their standards? ^_^

This would be nice to have a bitcoin-couchsurfing website, where you could ask for your needs (foods, travel, sleeping location) and people could make some offers: (for 10BTC, I take you with my car at this place and bring you to the airport).

bitsurfing.com is available

I'm doing a psychological experiment to see how many people are willing to send me 10 bitcoins. For each donation, I will post a creatively-written three-paragraphs of grovelling praise. If you have specific ideas for those three paragraphs, feel free to send me a PM after you've sent the coins.

Raises a few questions.

1) Are the Czech tax authorities going to sit idly by while over a half million USD goes untaxed?

1/20th of a million?

In today's sue happy world, the last thing I need is a lawsuit, or some DCMA or CALEA subpoena passed my way..
I've seen people and money happy litigators do much worse, with much much less..

SORRY!



Is Justice Being Served?

Quote from: hotcoffeethemovie.com
Seinfeld mocked it. Letterman ranked it in his top ten list. And more than fifteen years later, its infamy continues. Everyone knows the McDonald’s coffee case. It has been routinely cited as an example of how citizens have taken advantage of America’s legal system, but is that a fair rendition of the facts? Hot Coffee reveals what really happened to Stella Liebeck, the Albuquerque woman who spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonald’s, while exploring how and why the case garnered so much media attention, who funded the effort and to what end. After seeing this film, you will decide who really profited from spilling hot coffee.

Probably not
Quote from: Susan Harbinson
The public is quick to second guess everything they hear about. They don’t take the time to ask, “WHY would a jury make the award that high?”. They just assume it was wrong. The story, which takes only a few minutes to read on Wikipedia, has been available via the Net since the beginning.
People the comment on things they don’t understand are irresponsible.

Maybe witcoin can be used to establish these communities?  I'm still working on implementation of ugcategories

I would like more feedback on how user generated categories should be handled, either at witcoin.com or here.

Primarily, how should a category be fairly managed by one or more individuals so that other users do not recognize those users profiting at the expense of other users without deserving it?

The marketplace is becoming a vibrant place but yet the forum is not made for operating as a market bazaar.

I would like to propose a few features:

1. Jobs, offers feature filter. Simply put, being able to views all the jobs and offers being advertised on the forum and hide miscellaneous forum topic.

2. Reputation system relating to selling and buying things.

3. A way to post and track specialized forum topics like jobs and offers.

Does anyone have any questions they'd be willing to pay for an answer?
I'd like to establish an implementation that provides ability to let users profit from answering at the expense of users willing to pay for answers, however, I would like feedback if anyone is willing.  Maybe I can offer to pay for feedback?  *grin*
