Tradehill, a business venture which has capitalized on the success of Bitcoins, has acquired bitcoin.com <link removed>
Due to the success of Tradehill's bitcoin.com "community aspect" or services, and due to Google's preference of a .com over .org, "bitcoin.com" takes first place for "bitcoin" searches. This forces bitcoin.org to second place, and eventually third behind Wikipedia's own Bitcoin entry.
And by linking to bitcoin.com, you've just increased its Google juice. |

Same here. I shouldn't have labeled myself as a novice, when I will hopefully leave the novice status behind shortly.

This is my 5th post. Does it make me any less newbie? Only one way to find out.  EDIT: I guess not.  You need to pass the 5 post threshold and be on the forums 4 hours. |

(Do I have five posts yet?)
You do. /Cap'n Obvious. |

All are welcome and all help
Thanks. Right now I'm CPU mining with ufasoft as a learning exercise. I'll have to get a video card if I want to take this seriously.  I did find 3 shares though in the first 15 min. mining. |

This sounds like a *really* good idea, now we just need to think of how to get it off its feet.

Joined this pool with a painfully slow hash rate. Here's to hoping I'll get lucky.

It's five posts, regardless of if they are new topics or replies to existing topics.

(I know, chances are same..)
Unless being struck by lightning changed your behavior (i.e, never going outside during a storm, etc) then it might reduce the probability of you getting struck again. /trollface :p |

You're curious and I'm a novice.

If you have any more promo codes, I'd be happy to give it a thorough try and rate it in the app store afterwards.

Bitcoin Kamikaze is kinda addicting and I've won a couple bitcoins there. Try it: http://bitcoin-kamikaze.com/?father=45378 (Full disclosure: if you follow this referral link I'll get a small percentage of your losses, if you lose) Also you can play it without BTC as well, which is also entertaining. |

I think we should all put our time & energy toward making bitcoin work instead of diluting the effort chasing dozens of other dreams.

If you're in it for the long haul and believe the that bitcoin will catch on as a mainstream currency/payment system, then I think you stand to make some impressing gains just by holding BTC.

Sure, but you already gave me one |

It's boringly simple. Follow the laws of the land where you live concerning income / capital gains. Full stop.

Having different rules make it seem more like an entirely different network than a testnet, it also makes it less effective as a test platform. Would it be possible to automatically reset it once a week?
I am by no means an expert, but this sounds like a good idea to me. |

Thanks all! It seems to be back up now  It's up for me now too, but loads rather slowly. |
