Even though this an announcement of a new service I'll leave this thread here because it's the first operational service that is specifically addressing off chain transactions which I believe are a significant issue for Bitcoin.
This does not however mean that I endorse this service or the OP in anyway so any bitcoins you are trusting this service to handle for you you better make sure you can trust the operator.

While I don't agree with a lot of Hazek's viewpoints on other issues (block size) I do agree with him here. What is Google's angle on this? Nobody does anything for free and if it may appear to be free now, there is some potential value to this in the future. I have a site dedicated to bitcoin with a user login and will look into it. Still, I have a hard time believing that Google develops anything without a strategy behind it. The "do no evil" days are over.
The strategy is to get as much integration and dependance as possible and have as many google signups as possible and with it influence and market share. If you implement their login infrastructure, your users automatically have to become their users. Pretty simple math. Btw I'm not saying using their infrastructure isn't viable or will automatically harm you in some way, I'm just complaining about Mike saying that the use is free. It's not. It's gratis and I think the distinction is important. |

for free:
Please Mike.  Nothing is for free, especially not anything from google. It may be gratis but it most certainly has a cost, whether it's a cost in association, or privacy, or sovereignty, there is a cost and it would be upstanding of you if you worded your posts appropriately. |

That is if you enabled anonymous payments.
How do you enable anonymous payments? I looked through all the settings and could not find anything. The anon payment option used to just show up in the send money menu but that option is no longer there. If you do not set anonymous=false it defaults to on. This sounds like you are talking about an API. I am asking about the web interface at blockchain.info Through the web interface at blockchain.info I used to be able to do anon transfers, now I can't. What is up? It was removed in the last few days, no word from piuk yet why.. in fact he is MIA for a few days now. |

so sorry Adam.
It was pretty close and looked like was going to make it, but no cigar after all.  |

Is this already the new webpage that you were promising? Cause the search algo still sucks..
We're still tweaking the search algorithm. Can you tell me the search term you used and what the results were? Thanks, -Jon "micro sd" and got 337 hits but this is better from what I remember when I bought the micro sd almost 2 months ago, back then I got like 1600 hits. |

There is no question Bitcoin is an ingenious innovative technology but there also is no question that despite it's brilliant design it still has issues that can be improved upon. What I want to do with this thread is to make an appeal to savvy developers who would like to make a name for themselves to take the Bitcoin code and improve upon it and come up with a serious Bitcoin competitor. I would try to do this on my own but I'm not a dev so this is the best that I can do right now. First my ideal cryptocurrency is built upon the same principles as Bitcoin. Don't change anything aside maybe a few parameters (max coins, coins per block, blocks per min..), but never the rules. It needs a limited supply issued at a predictable rate and it needs to be as decentralized. Second it needs to solve or at the very least significantly improve the 51% vulnerability while keeping the proof of work mechanism. I know it can be done, someone clever enough just needs to figure it out. Third it needs to solve the scalability issue with a prunable yet just as secure blockchain. Fourth it needs to set a fixed relationship between fees and the block size making sure there will be enough collected to serve as an incentive to secure the network before increasing the capacity. Fifth.. call it something without the word coin in it. That's it. If you can develop that it I will certainly switch to it and advocate for it just as hard as I'm advocating for Bitcoin right now. |

I really hope we don't break the all-time high today. It'll be much more amusing/exciting if it happens at the 11th hour tomorrow lol Man Adam I didn't think you were going to make it but your bet is looking pretty good right now isn't it? |

I am interested in this as well. |

That's why it's important to do research into building efficient and privacy preserving tax systems that can apply to cryptocurrencies (and yes, they exist, Bitcoin is not the end of taxation).
This is such a terrible piece of bullshit. We do not exist for governments, it's the other way around. Governments exist for us. We should pay taxes because we want to, not because we are forced to. If we are all forced to pay taxes we don't want to pay, it means that something is seriously wrong with our democracy. And actually, because what I said is the case in most countries in the world (except for Switzerland and maybe few other countries) , there is something wrong with the whole world actually. So the sooner the world changes to the situation where people WILL WANT TO PAY THE TAXES (because they will know that the money will be well spent), the better. Do let us know when you catch that unicorn. |
