I don't use MtGox, but the website says:

Mt. Gox charges no fee and is free to use. Donate a few BTC to help keep it that way: 1EuMa4dhfCK8ikgQ4emB7geSBgWK2cEdBG

Why not use that?

I was planning to donate but I have problem with compiling bitcoin. I will donate soon.


However, people do not have incentive to donate to mtgox. IF they could, they want to keep as much of their profit as possible. This meant that mtgox essentially rely on the few suckers who do donate. Second of all, even if they did, it will probably not be sufficient to cover the volume that mtgox experienced everyday.

Isn't this getting off-topic. In any case, we need to figure out how to contact bytemaster if it is at all possible.

Update: They pulled the auction!

wtf?

Never heard of it. Must be fraudulent! Delete!


Roleplay beside, did you check their TOS to see if they prohibit virtual currencies or something similiar?
5344  Economy / Economics / Evaporation Cooling of the Bitcoin Community on: October 10, 2010, 09:48:23 PM
http://blog.bumblebeelabs.com/social-software-sundays-2-the-evaporative-cooling-effect/

This forum is full of hacker and ciphergeeks, and people familiar with crypto-anarchist political theory. This in character encouraged voluntary entrepreneurial behaviors and the discussion of radical business models(such as p2p darknet powered by bitcoins).

However, as the bitcoin economy, we may dilute the knowledge quality and entrepreneurial and voluntary spirit of the community. Thus, voluntary. nonviolent, and innovative solutions may be looked over in favor of possibly more corecisive solutions and corrosive social environment.


So I invites forum goers here to figure out how to preserve the effectiveness of the bitcoin community in the admist of bitcoin economic growth.

All the more reason to fund the development of increasingly easier payment and receive methods.

I support it.

How big is this market? Is this exposure something like... 1k usd/day?

Valerius

For the last few days, it's a lot more than a 1K USD a day.

I supposed you could call it double-backed up reserve banking for no exposure exchange practice?

Or should it be doubled back exchange?

Or is there already a term for this?

Use this URL precisely:

     http://www.bitcoin.org/

Using SSL brings up a browser warning, and it's slower anyway.

Updated.
5348  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Next Hacker Charity Target on: October 10, 2010, 07:45:57 PM
which hacker/geek charity do you guys want to target next?
Wikipedia.

Once Wikipedia is accepting bitcoins, they can hardly deny that the article is encyclopedic.

Tie up all the smaller guys first like the FSF and CCC, then we can convince Wikimedia foundation to join the bandwagon.
5349  Bitcoin / Project Development / Letter to the CCC on: October 10, 2010, 07:43:45 PM
Time to write a letter to the CCC(Chaos Computer Club). We will also need German translators once the donations and the letter has been finalized. This is the letter adapted from the EFF letter. Feel free to critique and make improvement.

Dear Chaos Computer Club,

The Bitcoin community appreciates your efforts to protect electronic liberty and help the internet remain free of censorship and unnecessary intervention.

Bitcoin < http://bitcoin.org > is a new open-source P2P cryptocurrency system, published under the MIT license.

There are several enterprises and individuals in the Bitcoin community and growing. We have donated about 600 BTC to date to the EFF, now we wish to donate X amount to you.

We are certain that you will receive many more in individual donations if you will set up your own bitcoin address and tell people that they can donate to you via bitcoins.

Warmest regards,

The Bitcoin community.

Mt. Gox. should find ways to make money and maintain emergency reserve. We are thankful for being able to trade on such a liquid market. However, it is unacceptable that Mt. Gox. can easily go bankrupt, thus losing one of the easiest way to purchase and sell bitcoins in the bitcoin economy.


Signed...sincerely,

Mt. Gox. customers and traders.

The first ever bank run.

People are buying bitcoins now that dollars are unwithdrawn-able for the time being.

I think that prove bitcoins are hell lot safer than dollars.
5352  Economy / Marketplace / Re: paypal dropped mtgox on: October 10, 2010, 05:41:01 PM
Good to know that not everything is in paypal.

However, will you begin to charge for mtgox services? It would be comforting to know that mtgox can keep running after some catastrophe. I mean, you are fronting all the risks for providing such a liquid market.
5353  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Fed is dead.. maybe already by 2012 on: October 10, 2010, 05:36:16 PM
I believe in nobody, not even the bears.

Let kill some buddhas.
5354  Economy / Marketplace / Re: paypal dropped mtgox on: October 10, 2010, 05:08:02 PM
Bitch! We're going to get our revenge on paypal by making bitcoin the best currency ever!

So those damn paypal dudes will be forced to pay attention to us.
5355  Bitcoin / Project Development / OperationFabulous and 1400 BTC Bounty by NoAgendaMarket on: October 10, 2010, 03:11:34 PM
So Noagendamarket said you were working on an advertising clearinghouse like projectwonderul and google's adsword.

How is it going?
5356  Economy / Marketplace / Re: The Niche List on: October 10, 2010, 03:10:26 PM
Updated niche list for plant store and beer supply store.

No takers on any of these project yet.
5357  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Selling $50 Amazon.com gift card code. on: October 10, 2010, 03:06:53 PM
We should stop thinking of USD as the standard measure of value.

It's....deeply ingrained.
5358  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Next Hacker Charity Target on: October 10, 2010, 03:05:30 PM
I think the Chaos Computer Club will be the next target in the hacker unity behind bitcoin letter writing campaign.
5359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Mutual Aid Society on: October 10, 2010, 02:27:24 PM
Only two members?
5360  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Active Bitcoin discussion on the TalkGold forums on: October 10, 2010, 01:49:19 PM
I tried bumping the thread where we have a bounty for someone to make a video explaining how to use bitcoin. Ive donated a lot of btc to the bitcoin address listed in the thread but the person who started it seems to have disappeared. Is this yet another example of a bitcoin scam? The bounty should be over $1000 with the latest rise in value yet nothing has been posted.


When is the last time that somebody saw bytemaster alive?
