My kid attends a technical school here in town. I've thought of introducing their class to some kind of Bitcoin project like show them what it is, how it works and give each student $1. Then ask them to barter with the rest of the class over a month. Suggest that some can invent or create products and services (like crafts or something). There will be some producers, some consumers, some speculators just like what we're doing. One day a week the teacher could let the kids go barter wild for a half hour talking about their good or service. At the end of the month we'd take a tally of how many bitcoins each student had and measure the economy. They could write reports on their experience. My only hesitance is their grade is borderline not ready for this, i.e. next year would be better. The year is almost up anyway.

tried it, got a popup saying "The text you entered is not a valid private key". anyway i realised it's basically a matter of doing sha256 hash of your string, which can obviously be done offline.
You're almost there, keep reading the dialog and click "ok". |

Has anyone figured out how to deliver these to the afterlife if you die of old age before it gets published?  |

Moral impact? This isn't a moral issue.
Me thinks he meant "Morale". Certainly a minor's morale will be affected by the drop in inflation. I think there's huge potential for this event to affect everyone's valuation. |

For everyone in this thread who can't seem to find a way to buy anything interesting with bitcoin, you're either not networking well enough or being creative enough.
We don't "need" merchants to accept Bitcoin - we need our friends, family, and coworkers to accept them.
I can't tell you how many times I've paid for lunch and dinner, bar tabs, purchased random products and paid for hotel rooms with bitcoins - to my friends after they have purchased what I needed with their shitty fiat/credit cards.
It's not the best solution, but if we all do this, eventually one of those "friends" is going to be a CEO of some big company and get his light bulb turned-the-f-on and get the ball rolling to take advantage of this system.
Network, think creatively, and dont be afraid to ask someone you know to take some Bitcoins for something they can purchase for you with fiat.

Not possible with the state of exit nodes today.
Perhaps LadyBytes can do a fundraiser for my TOR Exit LLC so I can add more exits. LOL |

a calculator for a specified exchange rate is always helpful.

What OP says is true, the guides will all try to bring you to shops that push crap on you. Going with a guide who won't do that is a major plus!
This wouldn't be a problem for me if the merchants accepted Bitcoin! I'd be all over that shit haggling prices in Bitcoin for their nicknacks. |

As an early customer of this merchant, I approve of this message.

A recent brain wallet article in bitcoin magazine stated you can use electrum client to import keys. Haven't done it yet, but this is a big todo for me.

Our API is excatly the same as instawallets - however we don't have the streaming function. If you need that, I will consider implementing it. https://easywallet.org/apiAnd actually we have one additional call: balance_unconfirmed, which return the normal balance as well. I have developed a simple script, which keeps my balance on a specific level. It is meant to be run from a secure linux instance, which has more secure bitcoind setup. https://github.com/kangasbros/Easywallet.org-toolsThis is great news. I'm going to PM you with an idea/use case . |
