I'm really excited about this! Bitdrop is a great idea. I would definitely help out as a runner and moral support  |

I believe a solution like this would be nice:  the option of whether to display the combo box or not and its default value can be changed in settings, that way it'll be up to each user and his/her preference how to handle all the zeros.  And something like this upon hitting "send":  This way, the user gets a chance to review the numbers. |

Hi, I work for the DMS, specifically the CTD, and we've been authorized by the DMSEDWWSOE to confiscate all of your belongings and hold you indefinitely while we conduct further investigations. You have the right to piss your pants.
have a "panic" button (destroys your hard drive), and keep a backup of your wallet on a remote server. there are people that have implemented that, especially those that are involved in highly illegal works on the internet (no, i don't mean cp, get your mind out of the gutter). even better - truecrypt your hard drive, don't cache passwords (of course), and pull the plug when you see the feds pull up. that way, unless we're in a total police state, you should *eventually* get your stuff back. truecrypt has a huge vulnerability: YOU. think "enhanced interrogation techniques" The "hidden volume" feature is pretty awesome against this. |

I think it's very unlikely TiagoTiago, too many governmental corporatism interests depend on electricity for survival.

How many of these have been reviewed by a native speaker? I don't even know if any norwegians other than me are reading this thread; however, the article has been left alone by the wikipedia patrollers through 7 revisions so far since I first created it almost a month ago, indicating it's in decent shape linguistically. As far as the technical soundness goes, the article is, as topi points out, a direct translation from the english one, so the errors are very few or none. I'll see if I can find someone to check the article. Meanwhile: Hvis du er norsk og leser dette hadde det vært hyggelig om du ville sett over: http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin |

Care to offer readers an option for fetching stories via RSS? I like the articles on the site, but I know I'll forget to go in there to check weekly.
Nice work!

Very nice! I will surely take a look. Make sure you let people RSS/Atom/[whatever feed] the news  |

Myself, I think the use of the "bitcent" terminology should be discouraged. I've laid out my rationale in other threads, but I'll do it again:
Human beings are not particularly adept at dealing with large numbers and/or great variations in orders of magnitude. Nevertheless, in the West people have been educated to group orders of magnitude into threes: thousands, millions, billions, etc. Now, Bitcoin currently has 8 decimal cases. This means that further subunits will be demanded even if the term "bitcent" becomes widely used. These may be called millicents, microcents, or whatever. And herein lies a huge potential source of confusion, since we would have a system which would mix two different groupings for orders of magnitude: a two-order grouping (1BTC = 100 bitcent) and a three-order grouping (1 Bitcent = 1000 millicent).
If you still don't see this as a problem, try to answer instinctively (and correctly!) to the following question: "How many Bitcoins in a million millicents?". Do you understand now why mixing different order of magnitude groupings within the same system is a recipe for disaster?
Hence, I propose that instead of talking in bitcents we encourage the use of millicoins, microcoins, and nanocoins. That way the entire system relies on a single three-order grouping.
+1 Furthermore, as many people argued in the discussion against using the thai baht symbol for Bitcoin because it implied some association with an existing currency or country, using cents would bring about the same effect regarding it's use in a selection of existing currencies. Use of the SI prefixes will provide the advantage that most people are already familiar with it, either through schooling and/or exposure to everyday technology. And SI is somewhat open source, is it not?  |

It seems that everybody forgot about my Polish translation... I'm afraid it seems the OP left his duties as a vault manager. Oh well, I'm not making a virtue of necessity though - I'm happy to help out anyway Still sort of rude regarding those who chipped in... |

It might be good to have a choice of sources under the Info tab, for when mtgox is getting DDOSed... +1 Also, would be nice to see even more info, like total money supply, difficulty ++ (more inspiration from http://bitcoinwatch.com ) Nice work  |

Is there anywhere I can buy a 5850 using BTC?

CIA has seemingly been hanging around for a while; they have the competence to understand what Bitcoin's all about. No reason for Gavin not to give the speech. It's a great opportunity for "us" (gavin) to deliver unbiased information to the guys in power.
What's more, if the feds get involved, the Bitoin protocol is prone to be tested for its strengths and weaknesses. Someone mentioned the protocol would from now on cease to be anonymous: would this not indicate that the protocol is weak?
About the $3,000 I say: grab it. It was yours to begin with, given that you've been forced to pay taxes all your life.

Morally, and in principle: of course it should be on the list.
However, if we consider the argument from effect I think it's obvious that for the sake of bitcoin gaining popularity it should be left off the list.
I agree. Morally and in principle, of course it should be on the list. However, if we ignore the previous sentence, it should be left out. Invoking then negating a statement of morality and principle is utter bullshit. Want it off the list? Say so. Don't try and make yourself out to be concerned about morality and principles. If considering arguments for/against important issues is utter bullshit, we could just all shut the hell up and create polls for every thread instead. This is why we have discussions. |

Let's make this system without extension. They have been an unnecessary overhead anyway.
So just 'google' instead of 'google.com'
Another incentive for people to adopt it.
+1 So Trends would be http://trends.google ? |
