I thought 'priority' only ranked free tx. I could be wrong.

PM coming

There are trillions of USD in circulation and billions of users this is not an indicator of a good system.

Uh huh.

4 US cents is ridiculous.

I know buying and selling seem like a reasonable way to decide a marketplace, but I for one am never in a buying or selling mood, so I always open both. But it would be helpful if it was broken like jobs, physical goods, virtual goods, services. Or something like that. I know Kiba just did a lot of work, I'd help rearrange, or we could leave threads where they are and let new posts go in the categories and not worry about old ones.

I like this. It's much better in terms of feedback on what people don't want to see in particular threads, but doesn't go all the way to deleting which causes pain and frustration.

Just have a button that says "Help hide this post" or similar then make it hidden by default when it hits the threshold, readers can bring it back with one click.

In the future there will be gold coins, silver coins, and coins. Hint: we use coins.

Haha, yeah, what is the deal. I like how bitcoin-central just has an address and you can cycle it if you want.

That channel has always seemed pretty convincing to me, but I just was thinking about the difference between those peaks. The first was on very thin volume. The orderbook completely emptied, if the guy who sold at .50 had listed .60 that channel would be at a way different angle, and I don't mean relative to now, but relative to the volumes before the peak. The second was more actively traded. So if you look for the price where a similar relative volume was actually traded and get a reasonable 'adjusted peak' you would see a steeper channel.

This isn't everything-with-a-block-chain.org. If you think there is lost of interest in discussing a DNS system then make a site for it. That said I prefer it all to be in one spot if it is going to be here.

Just 467.8 millies!

Yeah, it isn't hard at all.

You actually have coins and are having trouble sending them to MtGox?

I have an idea for a site. It will need to keep a current database (listen to the chain I guess) and look up data for users from a list of all known bitcoin addresses and the block number of the first transaction to the address. It seems simple to me, but I don't know what language one uses for this. If there is one clear choice please tell me and I'll modify the title.

It would be nice if the same person was willing to help with domain name and hosting stuff. If you have these sort of skills PM me and I'll share more details and you can make me an offer. I'm looking for low rates but not pathetically low.

Looks very cool.

A couple thoughts.

Checking the balance doesn't mean much since anyone clever will wait until after the sale to move the coins and you won't be rushing out to destroy the bill normally.

Even if it is virtually impossible to make a bill that could fool you, it won't be nearly as hard to fool someone who hasn't handled them themselves. This is more of a problem in the beginning, but it could recur as you change the design.

The prices seem reasonable. Will they get even lower if you can scale up? Do you figure people will trade them at face value or retail? Smaller denominations coming soon?

no fee for personal unless it is out of country.

Yes, I see you did. 1EidtUZpMbQ3S9aLD7kcYLxhfc7fFym86M is the address I paid to deposit. Did I give it as the withdraw address by mistake?

Do they sell the metal or keep it as savings? Are they getting it from customers cheaper than they could buy it?

It always seemed to me that it logistical difficulty made it more sensible to use the currency of the realm and then buy what you wanted to save in (and I think gold is a great choice).

Are you spending metal at these places? Moving to Canada is in the back of my mind with the whole collapsing fascist anti-poker regime we've got happening here. Before Bitcoin my dream was to have relationships with merchants who would take my metals so that I could hold very few FRNs, but I don't know how to do it. Now I'm banking (pun) on Bitcoin and I have much higher hopes.

Surely a lot of gold was dug up when it was a great barter good, but not yet full blown money. It isn't a black and white thing.

I suppose it's interesting that with gold very little is mined until people put a lot of value on it, but with bitcoin ~30% would be mined at this point with tiny interest or with worldwide acceptance.

As is frequently repeated though, mining is not the point. I could imagine a scenario where Bitcoin is introduced, say, 17 years ago. And it is way too early for major acceptance, but most of the coins are mined by this point. And now it gets in Forbes as this long lost great idea to save us from government money and some people invest in GPUs, but since the reward is down to 3/block most mining involves going to computer graveyard and searching hard drives for wallet files. We would essentially remine the coins once we realized the great value. Point being that the 'forced' creation of the coins isn't a problem. They will sit with miners or on forgot hard drives from 2009 until the world 'demands' that they be found and released.
