Very cool, will be recommending to people.

Well thanks, but with a name like yours of course you have to like FeedZeBirds Wink

Haha, indeed. Free as in free speech usually, but I'll take the free beer as well.

Another thought is that you could have volunteer 'secret shoppers' actively testing things like response time and such.

I voted for the second option. It seems good because if the only review a site has is from a first-timer it's the best there is to go on and should be shown, but if a site has conflicting reviews from a 'pro' reviewer and a first-timer the 'pro' is more likely to be correct. I suppose you'll need to watch for 'pro' shills eventually, but at least you have something of value to take from them, their account.

Getting a key from the site sounds pretty bad. It still lets the site shill and depending on the service it would still be easy to get keys and post bad reviews. Not to mention be a burden for many sites.

I thought that we could simply generate a key pair by using a memorize phrase as the seed to the key pair generator. So I could memorize "Now it the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country" and then any time I want I can generate the corresponding public and private key pair from this phrase. As long as I keep my phrase secret (oops) I can get access to my coins.

Anyone doing this or similar should really add just a bit of unique and random data. If a lot of people are choosing keys this way people are going to be trying everything remotely common. Adding your name and bank pin ought lock it up tight I think.

Creating the data for that transaction is protected as a right but using it as money doesn't mean that it is immune from other laws.

What does it mean to use it as money? What if instead of using it as money you just say it, post it to a website, email it, or broadcast it to a peer? Are any of those things protected speech?

Paying came to my mind too, but users are less likely to pay X than a new business that needs quick reputation is.

I imagine a future where you sign nearly every posting (right click sign, easy as pie) and anyone can search the web for your other signed activity to make sure you are a person, and maybe even an honest one.

Of course just like bitcoin addresses you can make a new one any time and unlike bitcoin you won't as easily connect them unwittingly. Of course you could merge identities simply by stating it and signing with both keys.

Broadcast gibberish all the time. If a bunch of people are unloading crap into the same place and a bunch of people are all looking in the same place no one knows which messages are for which viewers.

I have a solution to something that might not actually be a problem.

Assumptions:

Turning small amounts of BTC into dollars is a pain.
Some people don't care about or even enjoy variance for small amounts of value.

Suggestion:

Run a lottery that takes BTC from players and gives cash prizes, maybe a check, probably a prepaid Visa debit, maybe even a widely coveted item. The benefits are:

Only winners need to give info such as address and name and transaction costs such as mailing are reduced by 20-100 times.

This probably gets around various laws also. You aren't an exchange. Call it a sweepstakes, no cost to enter, your ticket is your free-to-generate bitcoin.

I'm looking to create another bitcoin game, I previously created and sold bittleships.com - and created a lotto site interbitlotto.

If you have an idea for a game and want to earn some btc, send me a PM or reply here.

Any unique idea's will be considered.

Joe

Actually it's the republicans and the rise of right wing conservatism that did that. Reagan did nothing but spend money that the country didn't have and it basically set the prescedent for every other president (except clinton, who understood that you need to actually have money before you can spend it) to do exactly the same thing.

Try FDR and Theodore. The New Deal era was a precursor to the further damage.

Not strictly true. The New Deal worked until 1937 when FDR lost his nerve and cut public spending throwing American back into recession. The UK was embarking on re-armament at the time and was saved by that extra boost of cash.

What made him lose his nerve, what did he think would happen if he continued?

Nov 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th the Nightly 8pm ET 525 chip tourney will have 5000 chips added.

To celebrate Black Friday we have a 15000 chip freeroll at 3pm ET. After you win you should go shopping (or not, stay and play).

Trying to figure if javascript and php is good enough for an idea I have, and if not, what language(s) I need.

A player clicks something which modifies the database, immediately the values from the database that were showing on the page are updated, no page refresh needed.

Another player who is currently viewing the same values on their page also needs to be instantly updated.

What is it best and will scale well? Database of ~10k players, several hundred logged in, ~50 columns if any of that matters.

And what about handling a "who pressed first" scenario? I don't really care if it is super accurate, just that it can pick one winner. I think this part is trivial, just want verification.

Didn't want to bog down with details, let me know if more is needed.

games, buttons, coffee (bitbrew of course), gold and silver (private sales), a stamp, gift cards, lots of gambling (darts, BJ, casino games, poker), mullvad VPN, minethings credits, countless small donations, many ads (operation fabulous and others) programming work, design work, server costs, paper money, gifts, loans, staking deals.

That's most of it.

Hoping to move food purchases to bitcoin vendors soon. Then rent and I'm done.

Zero fiat monies were involved in the creation of firstbits.com.

Very cool, will be recommending to people.

yes with a little more work (Bug Killing) this will come become the better implementing that beats the competition

the site has a professional look to it expect for some kidish img like this one, you should change this

also the banner at the top MUST GO

I wish I could agree. The only good thing this site has going for it right now is that banner and those buttons.

Keep 'em. You'll get more traffic. It's the only reason I remembered your name.

EDIT: I lol'ed. http://freetradecollective.org/us-dollar-bill,name,100053,auction_id,auction_details

Yeah, I like the crayon. Should do it more completely. Also the top image is pretty thick. All just my humble opinion.

And I don't think anyone cares, but denominating in dollars really turns me off.

Well seriously.. rather than just describing the method of execution of whatever monstrosity this is, perhaps he could describe the intention?

If it's for a group of people to back up wallets - it sure seems batshit crazy to me.
Wallets as I understand it produce roughly 100 extra private keys at a time by default - so what is going to happen here when some users do a lot of transactions and want to back up a new wallet?
There will be multiple versions that need to be seeded and various people clamouring to add theirs to the set.. etc etc, and some people who were reliably seeding earlier versions decide not to because they don't use those old ones any more but suddenly someone is hunting for it..

I'm no p2p expert (maybe that's obvious) but it sure sounds like a 'hey.. let's herd cats for fun and profit' post to me.

Don't backup your spendy wallet like this. In the extreme it only needs one key, more is better so the 99% doesn't lynch you when they see your total, but whatever.

A savings wallet might never be used 10 times in a lifetime.

At first I thought this was 100% bad.

But maybe not. If it's a bunch of wallets together lots of people have incentive to keep the file available, sort of anyway...

But I wouldn't count on it and it seems better to put it in more reliable storage.

Now if you could make the wallets not-easily-separable from some desirable content you'd probably be golden but it hardly seems like the most efficient way.

Geez, why so many words?

If I work 2 hours on a bowl movement and 2 hours on a sonnet are they worth the same amount? No, so you can't tell value from labor reliably.

In an efficient market it might tend to be true I don't even know, but that doesn't really exist anyway.

He will be -delighted- to hear your are going with a child instead of him, be sure to tell him.
