Shouldn't this be moved to the development forum?

Let brainstorm reliable, useful, and easy bitcoin jobs that everyone can do for the economy.
One of the probably most no-brainer way is to offer RAM, HD space, and CPU power to someone else. However, there need to be 1) problems that people wants to pay for and 2) easy to setup. Bitcoin mining fit the bill, but your gain is likely to be eclipsed by electrical usage.
You could offers HD space via tahoe-lafs but there is no billing mechanism. Even though I posted a bounty to code a billing system long ago, nobody offers to do the job.

The time to nominate the next hacker charity donation with the hope of achieving donation acceptance is NOW!
We got 618 BTC leftover from the CCC operation.

Rolling to the next charity.

There are other things we can do with 1000 USD.

The license is rather harsh, but then I have not pledge a single bitcoin..so I get no say.

I seem to have lost discipline.  |

The book is available for free around the net.
Just because it is available for free doesn't mean it's legal to sell it. |

I'll mention that 95% of this forum are libertarians. Take all political posts with the biases of the writers.
Hey, it clashes with our fundamental understanding of economic and reality! We're going to point out certain things that doesn't make sense to us. |

I guess it didn't come across in the short vid, but we are not advocating some sort of socialist nightmare. Far from it. Agriculture wise, we all just need to start growing more food on a grassroots level. Anyway, these points help us anticipate the kind of assumptions a wider audience might make so keep them coming.
I think that negate the benefit that come from division of labor. |

That is .
One day we might be able to print our food....
And the market will reduce everything to mere commodity... Everyone will be reduced to intellectual works. That, and the homeless will have blankets and foods printed by machines. They can also have an education if they ask for one of those cheap smartphone. |

In year 2030, with the help from a branch of government XYZ, a computer virus is released, for a period of several days, it simultaneously hijacks sourceforg website and infected millions of bitcoin client executables, moving funds to other infected nodes before destroying the wallet.dat files. Before bitcoin development team gets the message out and releases a patch, billions users has been impacted and millions BTC have been destroyed.
Tons of valuable will be stolen via social engineering attack before the government have the chance to try out that attack. Thus, users of bitcoiners continue to learn... |

I do remember this. However people tend to like things that are either concrete or can be imagined in a concrete manner. The more fractional an ownership is, the less tangible it will be. For example, when buying a stock in the market you are actually buying a very small percentage of a company (often less than .0001% per share). However shares in a company are not referenced in this manner.
Citation needed. Dude, it's called using blah miliBTC if you hate fractional an ownership so much. |

In the next ten years we will see an open source movement for hardware. One of my favorite projects the RepRap will be able to reproduce itself by the end of the next decade. http://www.reprap.orgWe already have an open hardware movement. |

The extranormal bitcoin video is just bad IMHO.
If you have somebody narrating it instead of a computer voice, you would do it a lot better.

Two problems that were brought up don't really work. The first is the question of a worm that attacks wallets. while I agree that the artificial limit at 21 million is a pretty bad idea.
We have 8 digit percison right of the decimal. 21 million bitcoins is not a problem. |

No, but spending is better for the economy. Anyway, we ain't talking about hoarding here.
Spending is just consuming something. For an economy to have wealth, it must produce the things that people want/need. |

A whole lot more bitcoining. I expect/hope to see a disruptive transformation of our economy in the way we deal with our finance and how we think about money. The rise of ubitious computing will continue. When we're finished with smartphones(the price of smartphone will drop until it become standard), we will upgrade our cars. At the end of the decade, we will have autonomous cars as part of our daily life. We're also begin equip everything with more computers and internet connections, connecting it more and more. Cheap 3D printing become an everyday normal thing. Customization and improvement of products increase at a frantic pace. Regular space launches will be the norm by the end of the decade. |

2000:
1. Still on dailup.
2. Pretty much everyone is still stuck on IE.
3. The computer I am using was pretty much only 10 GB in size. I am pretty sure it's window 98.
2005:
1. We finally got rid of dailup and transits to broadband.
2. Firefox already arrived, but it's 1.5.
3. I gotten an upgrade in HD size and other stuff. 40 GB.
2010:
1. Bitcoin is in its infancy.
2. The browser war is in full swing. Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera, and others are competing and making the web a better place.
3. My latest computer is still an outdated piece of shit but it is dual core and store 4x the previous computer.
