This is worse than my offer.

You're not buying it from Alibaba though. Anyway, auction halted.

It just dawned on me, I could totally make this a lot more interesting.
This could be the first community based Bitcoin auction with bidders from all over the different local boards.
Also it would be a test run for another auction some time in the future (for which I already have an idea).
I suggest the following:
I'll offer 10% of the winning bid as compensation to local moderators/users who are willing to help facilitate the auction (primarly by translating the item's description and forwarding bids to the original post in Marketplace/Auctions while the bidding lasts).
In addition I will add another item to the auction. And I will turn the items into pieces of Art (without destroying them), by making an artistic amendment. (Unveiled to the auction's winner upon delivery.)
I'm not sure as to what timeframe would be sensible for this. Any suggestions?

Thread in question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=151708.msg1610159#msg1610159In my desire to reach more people for the auction I decided to crosspost it to the local boards. This should be ok as long as I sync them with the main article and use acceptable translation. To accomodate this it may be necessary re-post the original article. Just wanted to double check with the mods if this alright, i.e. if it passes the spam-test. thanks

I have in the last census my religion as Jedi. Happy to convert to Bitcoin religion now. Agree to be a high priest.

with the emergence of distributed dns's such as namecoin, could the fundamental logic of domains be redefined alltogether?
could a url be made to look like this?:
protocol://space.subspace1.subspace2.subspace3/folder/file?=POST_DATA
with 'space' being the domain name and the idea of TLD's and country name suffixes dropped entirely?
I'm writing this because I had a science ficticious hallucination last night and a white-bearded guy with a pointed hat and an e-cigar told me the domain name system was gonna be renamed to 'space name system' (SNS) and that those www.'s and dot-something's were gonna be a thing of the past.
I also saw something about desktops disappearing and 3d nodebrowsers...uh never mind
subdomains = suffixes? I kind of like the idea of having an infinite number of suffixes for a single registered TLD.. keeps the squatters out.

this looks to me like they're passively criminalizing Bitcoins:
"We don't understand it and we don't control it and the government doesn't back it, so we'd rather not do business with you."
My guess is that lawmakers around the world are going to come up with a shitload of contradicting and outrageously ignorant laws regarding Bitcoin which will give Bitcoin users and businesses an increasing pain in the ass until they decide to simply ignore other people's law and government and establish their own.
I know this is way off, but: initially the idea of bitcoin was to abandon the need for banks alltogether, now it seems like bitcoin businesses rely on the banks' and legislation's goodwill in order to carry out their business.
it's ironic. but if institutions like that really bannished bitcoins it might draw the whole thing closer to what satoshi had initially intended.

I opt for Bruce Willis as Bruce Wagner...
You could spice up the story just a little to make it more exciting for viewers, like silk road drug trafficking villains, 15-minute shootout orchestrations and a secret KGB hideout in remote Pattaya.
Who seconds this?

Forget about intellectual reasoning and entrepreneurial foresight.
Why should Joe Average start using Bitcoins?
Other than brutely forcing them to (which I must admit has its occasional appeal......)

Right. And with Bitcoin if someone steals my wallet and spends all the coins in it I'm screwed. No recourse. All my money is gone. With Credit cards I'm not liable and all my money is still there.
See what I did there? Still have money in the bank.
credit cards arent actual money, theyre proxy money. they assign a number to the actual money they hold in the vault. that money never actually moves. you can use a service like that for bitcoins as well. one that offers chargebacks, etc. and all of that.

In reply to: Hahaha, here I was under the impression that you were issuing a challenge to developers to see who can port a Bitcoin client to the Haiku (operating system) first! I hereby officially issue a challenge to developers to see who can port a Bitcoin client to the Haiku Operating System first! Code away, folks! (Winner gets a free Haiku)

as inspired by: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41288.0A Haiku is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HaikuA traditional Japanese form of short poetry (3 lines, 5-7-5 pattern of syllables/sounds), may rhyme or not, but most importantly it needs to offer deep philosophical insight by juxtaposing two images or ideas with a "cutting word" between them, a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colours the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related (............)

yeh
I'll quote that just for fun!

you can use it to become a pioneering entrepreneur I guess
if you even have to ask that question youre probably just a consumer that will eventually be forced to use bitcoins by companies like the ones you mentioned.
