well, I guess if we make a German section, we need some German speaking moderators.

Make a German topic here:
http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=11.0

And I don't think the other forums have moderators (are Germans in such need for moderators? De they behave so badly?).

Please note that Bitcoin was also on the frontpage of Freshmeat.net yesterday (I created a record for it).

So every ehh... "slot?" is balanced differently?

How do you prevent major flooding of area with people where one "plant" has a high win chance?
That people go to lucky "slots" and leave the unlucky "slots" untouched?

BTW, you will need to change the art a bit more to make it more "Chinese"-themed. I mean, palm trees? I'd expect more bamboo Wink
Now it looks more atitd at night with some Chinese thingies.

WOW, great!
1545  Economy / Gambling / Re: Dragon's Tale - a Massively Multiplayer Online RPG/Casino on: October 07, 2010, 03:11:03 PM
Sounds interesting.

Do you have some screenshots of what to expect?

And the requirement of the bitcoins, are they for playing in a way you could lose them? Can you win more bitcoins?

And davidonpda:  I haven't tried to figure out how long 10 characters would take-- it is exponential in the number of characters, so 10 characters would probably take years...

That's what I thought... just wanted to make sure before I started. davidonpda is 10 and will probably never get there haha!

Or, you're very, very, very lucky. Wink

Bitcoin was pricey

Should we stop the currency market or something like that?


Nope, this is imho nothing more than a correction. The only thing to watch out for is damage of the Bitcoin "brand".
1548  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanity bitcoin addresses: a new way to keep your CPU busy on: October 07, 2010, 07:57:08 AM
Or are there limitations to the address?

From the source:
If [vanity] is specified, is less than 10 characters, and is all valid base58 characters, then an address containing that string is generated.
1549  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Vanity bitcoin addresses: a new way to keep your CPU busy on: October 07, 2010, 05:41:04 AM
Can I use this to generate an address like "12kUimDnb1a6oAPifgavinAaxMmLe43UR6"? Wink (I know it will take ages to do.)
Or are there limitations to the address?

Nice addresses that contain:
"SendBitcoinsToBioMike"
"ILoveBitcoins"

I've bought some bitcoins through them. Everything went smooth.

No experience with selling bitcoins though.

Meh... you don't want to know some new "European" rules that where forced upon Europe by the US government.
Doing bank transaction (within Europe)? => Your info goes to the states. Can be in bulk, the US will filter it out what they need. (This is already in action)
Want to travel to the states? => Hand over all your private data (including "what eat on board of the flight", your sexual life, credit card numbers and email addresses). And of course these data are to be shared with the US allies. Even our Dutch privacy law has already been changed to allow this.

Indie game developers?

There are already 2 who have adopted it http://www.atitd.com/ and http://www.stronggames.com/

They might even help as a reference or in some other way.

Some hint of who might be interested: http://www.wolfire.com/humble
1554  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Gentoo Linux Ebuild on: October 05, 2010, 06:52:43 AM
 Otherwise instead of an entirely separate ebuild, if there are patches (just like the others) that can be applied when "cuda" USEFLAG is enabled, then you're welcome to modify my ebuild as well.

I think that would be the way to go. If the patches are right you could build it with USE="cuda", but the program would just not use it. People with Cuda hardware could then test it for you.
1555  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Gentoo Linux Ebuild on: October 04, 2010, 09:13:53 PM
As CUDA isn't in the main releases yet, I'm not going to include it (my goal is to get it as stable as possible to get it included into the main gentoo tree). Mizerydearia is taking care of the live ebuild and might want to include it.
1556  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Torservers - Free Anonymous Uncensored Internet for Everyone on: October 04, 2010, 03:20:46 PM
Thank you for the explanation. Wow, 5000-ish btc. That is more than I expected (about 20x more, based on nothing).
1557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Want to generate the next 2080 blocks all by yourself? on: October 04, 2010, 10:52:14 AM
True, that's why you need to keep up with the difficulty.
1st month : 1 machine
2nd month: 4 machines
3rd month: 16 machines  <== would we be able to get a bulk discount on that Wink
etc.

Or will the difficulty catch up to quickly for that?
1558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Want to generate the next 2080 blocks all by yourself? on: October 04, 2010, 10:25:58 AM
Lets see, 30 days has 43200 minutes.
1 block (50 btc) every 4 minutes = 540000 btc.
540000 * 0.06ct = $32400

Man, that's a nice extra each month Wink
1559  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Want to generate the next 2080 blocks all by yourself? on: October 04, 2010, 10:10:58 AM
Or use this for the stability of the network. Let me explain:

1) People donate bitcoins to buy this service.
2) Service starts crunching for a month.
3) Yielded bitcoins are sold in an exchange.
4) Money is used next month to use the service again (aka go back to 1).

Advantages of this system:
1) Even people with powerful computers can't control the network.
2) No hassle to keep track who gets what (if they want the bitcoins they buy
it with the money that saves them the next month, what they would have pledged).
3) If people keep putting money in this, it becomes stronger (enough money to buy
2x service, just do it).
4) Even not rich people can join.
1560  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: integrating digital payments into p2p protocols on: October 04, 2010, 05:23:40 AM
I'll offer 5btc contribution for this project.  I know it's not much (yet!), but perhaps it will spark others to donate also.  Which address can I send to?

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs <= Check the nice bitcoin button on their site.
Funny, I've send 10 btc also to them yesterday.

Seems to be an interesting project.
