Is anybody interested in this kind of venture?

In fact, I would like to think about broadening the scope of the project.

How about the first bi-directional online manga reader site, where exports of cultural artifact occurs bidirectional. English comics get translated into Japanese, and vice versa, as well in different languages.

That would be an interesting experiment.

Seem to me, that Bitcoiners are simply the latest in the long(short) line of techno-libertarians that can trace our origin to cypherpunkers and hackers.

I hypothesize that Satoshi himself IS a cypherpunk. That would explain his continued usage of svn in the age of git.
4064  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What problem does bitcoin solve? on: December 28, 2010, 12:13:41 AM
Thank you for your answers. I still don't quite get it though.
Ok, so bitcoin isn't just a payment method, it's a currency. And it doesn't have a central bank, the bank is seen as a problem here.

Hyperinflation, trust, and integrity are HUGE problem. Bitcoin virtually eliminate the need to trust bankers not to abuse the printing machine.

Fees, too small to warrant switching form a well established currency.
Chargebacks, solveable by insurance.

The uncertainty of people chargebacking you is still real. Insurance is more fees you have to pay.

I'm afraid bitcoin will never take off, just existing as a fun thing for the libertarians and anarchists. :-)

The historical record indicates that we are growing and continue to grow. Just this month, we broke just about every forum record. Obviously, past performance doesn't mean future performance will continue...but it is clear at this point that our community is growing beyond the slashdotting stage.
4065  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Whats the fee for? on: December 27, 2010, 04:56:54 PM
You will probably never generate a bitcoin unless you joined a pooled mining effort.

Even so, you will find it 50 times easier to simply sell goods and services for bitcoin. Very few people can mine profitably, anyway.

Economic is primarily based on logical reasoning, not inductive.

We can't run experiments on whole economies, and perhaps we never will be able to.

What we can do is reason out something that definitely is true.
4067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Emotional Arguments on: December 27, 2010, 04:51:37 PM
Bitcoin is a weird idea. It's like trying to explain to them the concept of cryonic.

Both ideas are really good idea, but it's so strange that people have a higher level of skepticalism.
4068  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin in the 3rd world on: December 27, 2010, 04:00:38 PM

Another thing about bitcoin is the indterest rate can't be controlled, I know this is a key feature, but isn't that something you need to be able to do?


The interest rate should reflect the saving rate. This can reflection can only be accurately controlled by the market.

Assuming that you're some sort of democratically elected body accountable to the people, you might want to be aqble to accelerate or break the economy every now and then when it's over-heating or to ecourage it to move around more...

Democracy IS the problem. The people don't need a democracy. They deserve much better than a Lord of the Flies type of government.

If you let people take care of themselves, I am sure that they can come up with solution that is much better than what politicians could create.

Continuing my experiment with clothes folding and shading. I don't think the blue cloak look good. (especially the right side cloak)

Also, pink stocking coloring is in progress!

No incentive to save = no capital formation.

Everybody's time preference will be short, and that means problem.

I just tried out 7zip for encrypting. The only problem is that the encryption feature is obscure and require some automation.

You take bitcoin, right?
4077  Economy / Economics / Re: Will occasional losses of bitcoin wallets limit available maximum bitcoins? on: December 25, 2010, 07:45:32 PM
Bitcoins are never lost. just that the key is lost in the ocean somewhere.

One day, some guy might get very very very lucky to find a key to a vault full of bitcoin.
4078  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Pastecoin on: December 25, 2010, 03:55:23 PM
Read ^^^.

Notifying the owner of the security flaw is the most ethical choice, and yet you hesitate just because you want to look at my artwork for free. You refuse to pay an equivalent of 3 cents(.10 BTC * .25) each time. You didn't even make me famous.

What kinda of person are you, bober182?

But anyway, disclosure of a security hole is most ethical thing you can do. Assessing my artwork where you aren't allowed on server is a minor ethic violation, probably.

if you select other then US you dont need phone number

Seem like an easy way to get SmartKidz dinged.

Look like they detect suspicious activity from you, smartzkid.

I wonder how kwukduck manages to create that much accounts...did he cheat or something?
