YES, THIS IS AN ANARCHIST CONSPIRACY TO PUT BITCOIN ON THE MAP!

BITCOIN FOREVER!

Yeah, depends on the goals of the Space Program.

Explore mars. Build space stations. Build self replicating space probes. The usual.

So, how many of you would donate bitcoin on a regular basis to sustain a space agency?

The earth can support plenty more trillions. Plus, we have ton of methane.

Don't forget that we continue to be more efficient in the use of energy and that the sun give us more energy in one hour then we use as an entire civilization in a year.

Go nuclear if we must.

YES for walkable cities instead of socially suffocating suburbans.

I'm not the one who's supposed to draw, at least not the only one. The visitors are supposed to draw. It's somewhat related to this other (art) experiment: http://poietic-generator.net/

Clearly, this is not related to promoting bitcoin at all. Marketplace is where you want to post your project.

This is surely one of those "high art ivory tower" project.

Why don't you draw us some pretty picture...or stop calling it an "art experiment"...and just call it an experiment.

Right now, I am suspending the character auction for the next art piece.

I will do a one-shot comic called titled The British ODF. ODF stand for Orbital Drop Force.

(Why such a comic so early? Because it's challenging!)

Merchandising is pirated just as easily as digital content. I can make my own mugs and t-shirts with anything on it.... even easier than uploading something to bittorrent.

That may be so...but no self-respecting fan would buy merchandise that wouldn't support the artist.

With the merchandising model it seems to me that your creations would have to permeate pop culture. Think Spider Man as opposed to The Walking Dead (the comic I mentioned above) which is released by an independent, creator owned publisher.

No, I just have to be good as Misfile and Megatokyo. They don't permeates popular culture. Beside, I can alway sell graphic novel...at least until the dead tree format stop being collector items and just a bunch of paper with some data encoded in it.

Beside, webcomic is a money making hobby, not a primary money grubbing and fame grubbing adventure.

Well the artists need money to pay for food, healthcare, and what not. What he is suggesting is pre-selling the next issue until supporters get enough BTC for him and then he can release it for free! Kiba, wouldn't you like to do the same with your art?

I just have different idea of a business model.

Yeap! This is pre-selling the comic and fits as a perfect example! Feel free to pledge for it.

I am partial to the idea of letting the webcomic be free, and then selling mugs, goods, and exclusive access on the side.

Isn't the bounty, 450 BTC?

Lot of things have influence on the bitcoin economy from day to day basis. It would be foolish to think something cause something else with no evidence to back it up.

We simply don't know why bitcoin spectulators bid the ways they bid, unless we start handling survey each day on why they bid.

Tech isn't the limiting factor today.

And it's not the point of this exercise.

I am simply estimating when bitcoin could possibly take off much earlier. I know 2008 is definitely possible.

Obviously, bitcoin required bandwidth, space, and computation power.

So I am trying to estimate the year that bitcoin cryptocurrency would be a practical based on computation power, bandwidth, and HD space. "Practical" as in, most users would not hesitate putting the bitcoin software on their low-end computer and use it with no problem.

This is the year at which the bitcoin economy could start germinating itself in earnest with technology NOT be the bottleneck.

The bitcoin is for getting a hosting service?

You will be using bitcoin central?
