"What's so great about your money?"
"It's easy for powerful people to watch what we do with it and they take what they want."

I think going hundreds of years into the future more people will be remembered by someone but way fewer people from long ago will be know by nearly everyone. I guess this based on an expectation of better recording methods and growing diversity (there will be an ancient cryptographers of the early 21st century fan club).

I use my miners to dehydrate pork, be sure to mention that to the rabbi when he asks about how bitcoins are made. Also I work them extra hard on the Sabbath.

What options do we have when governments attack the dev team? The fact that someone in the team is afraid is a genuine problem.
They wouldn't need to "attack" them. I'm more and more convinced that just a polite request would be enough for Garzik to implement the perfect surveillance tool for the state to link addresses to people and monitor every flow of coins. Hell, he's trying to implement it right now, in anticipation. Sad. You would run that code? If what you are accusing him of was even possible most of us wouldn't be here. |

the only acceptable explanation is that jgarzik knows something about the technical limitations (weaknesses, vulnerabilities) of the currency as it stands. anything else is extremely suspicious.
Right... when you compare the probabilities of [someone being nuts or having a bad day or disagreeing with your values] to [critical bitcoin vulnerability] it's all just so clear. |

I really love the idea of BTC. I just wish they were a bit more useful in a practice sense.
I love them too. You could practice sending them to me if you want. |

This is about as relevant an indicator of bitcoin as ice cream sales on a hot summer day are an indicator of suicides.
The hours of sunlight a day are a good indicator of the frequency of suicides  I also read somewhere the daylight savings is always the #1 day of suicides. Is the opposite day the lowest number of suicides? And I thought is was near Christmas anyway. |

That's obviously a picture of his home aquarium, he was just showing how similar they happen to be.

yo wtf! Isn't having a connection to the internet a fundamental human right?  \ Time to get mad, Syria!   A god-given right iirc. |

I'd love to see a money that still works after you are beaten and robbed and bitten by zombies and unable to even communicate with your trading partners. It would be some true magic.

This is what happens to pirates who won't accept bitcoin.

"Babe babe, I won the lottery, we're rich!"
"Omg, where is the ticket, sweetheart?!?"
"Some guy on Bitcointalk.org has it. I hope he's legit!"

While I don't think the vast majority need to know the inner workings in order to trust and use bitcoin (as mentioned they used FED paper for a long time) there is some minority of oh 100 million people or so that would benefit by better explanations that I've currently seen available so it is a profitable avenue to pursue imo.

Always a good day to start accepting bitcoins (and to stop murdering people in faraway places).

Here is "ritual" for you: How about spending few coins on actual service or buying some good?
+1 Better yet, how about offering the other side of that exchange? |

I don't think they really need donations, otherwise they would accept bitcoin  Came to say it. Clearly not a pressing need. |

Happy halving day to you all! We had a nice after-halving get-together here in Vienna, because most people arrived late Bitcoin's usefulness as a measure of value might be debatable but it absolutely sucks as a measure of time - I hate nondeterministic appointments Flip a coin until you get 2845 streaks of more than 19 heads, that's when I'll arrive. |

I believe today's rebuy was the most entrants in a paid bitcoin tournament ever, 108 registered and 215 rebuys. Twenty places paid and the winner was Svarne2 for 7000 chips.
Donkdown.com freeroll tonight at 10:30pm ET, registration is open now.

Requirements would be:
1. someone to inject this data in to block chain
2. someone creating and distributing a program that can read this data as an image file
3. somone telling you where in the blockchain to find the offending data (a "link")
4. no one to take action to remove the data from the blockchain again
Now, since it's of no use/harm to have data that has the potential to be read by some program, if it never actually is read as such.
This means, that for this to be a real problem, you have to have someone publically sharing the "link" to this information. As long as you can cut the "link" sharing, then the offending data is not a problem on it's own.
A program can be made that will display bad pictures when fed this post as data. |
