That don't make sense. You say it's opensource, but yet sell it? That defies the logic of opensource.
Ok I sell it, but the buyer gets opensource, so they can change it however they want. If I encrypted the code, it wouldn't be opensource. Why don't you open source the code, and sell your services to installing it, working on it and hosting it for people. You will make a lot more money this way. I did something like this early in bitcoin, but I did with a trading bot, I open sourced the logic that made up the bot but not the strategies I used. People would contact me all the time to implement their strategies and/or host it on a VPS for them. |

2GB is required, and you will probably want some swap as well.

One day I have to not be anti-social and actually go to one of these things.

Your idea would work, but wouldn't stop piracy. All someone would have to do is drain the bitcoin wallet and create a new one. Then distribute the private key so anyone can use the software.
He would probably put a cap, at 5 or per payment. So once the key has been verified 5 times by the server it can't be used again. |

No more than about $250-$500, pretty simple for people to build, but be warned a developer could put a backdoor in so they always win or something like that. I would also get a 3rd party to vet the software before using it.

I think this needs to be proof of concept, because you aren't giving a lot of technical details to go off. Also what if I use your software for a 10000000 years but in 10 years you are out of business, now I can't unlock the message cause it sounds like some centralization is involved.
Try to make it decentralized that would be awesome!

You could use a alternative client which are much faster as some of them don't install the client but instead connect to a server which hosts the blockchain instead.
When you suggest this always include, that your security/trust goes way down. This means that if you can be served bad data, if you connect to a bad server. |

Trading bots don't work anymore. Unless you are just looking for a bot that buys at certain points, but for bots that are smart, are not around anymore.

We aren't interested in working with certain types of services, these include porn sites, gambling sites, large mining pools, anything altcoin related, and suspicious services of low quality.
I'm only here for the porn, gambling, pools, altcoins and really suspicious low quality services... isn't that what bitcoin is based on! Why take away from what you are built on? Those suspicious services wont take bitcoin to mainstream and those are not what bitcoin is only based on. Bitcoin.org perates as the face of Bitcoin (oh I know Bitcoin is faceless). So they cant promote some low quality services. Leave them for BitcoinTalk  I can understand suspicious low quality services, but porn, gambling and altcoin (such as NMC not others) seem like they should have a crack at it. Hell, I think Bitcoin is best for porn and that is a huge industry. I expect to see more "mainstream" porn sites going BTC. Looks to me like bitcoin.org wants to push BTC to minors. (Which is fine in my eyes... Kid cash spends the same as grown up cash!) I guess I can see it from their point of view though. Guess I'm SOL on sponsoring. Probably could use the Snail site. Are snails cool? I would have sponsored as well. Extremely disappointed! Guess they are taking the Mike Hearn way of doing bitcoins. |

I would take a guess at it is UTC.

So when am I getting paid?
you're not. end of story.  also, the site has been on a losing streak. everyone's still getting paid out. great storying in the making for PRCdice! You do realize two things, 1) House edge is a long term effect, and while in the short term they are down, they are up over time. 2) It is investor money that is being lost not the profit of the site. |

I still think it will be the java applets of the alt-coin world. Plus as many people pointed out, this is a stolen idea. Look at Charles Hoskinson, he isn't really a person on the up and up.

I disagree. I just came back from a bitcoin conference in Chicago and was pleasantly surprised. Have you been to a conference? Or are you just assuming what is, or is not, happening? This is a great way for all walks of life involved in bitcoin to get together and achieve a variety of goals, whether that be to learn more about it, invest in it, develop innovative ideas, discuss these ideas, meet people, collaborate together to accomplish goals and game-changing visions, gain merchants, view/test new bitcoin technology, etc. I do not think that conferences are all about showing off what-so-ever, it truly is to build upon and better bitcoin, educate people, and spread awareness.
I have been to some early conferences where it was what you are describing, but from all the videos I have seen and the companies that actually go, I see no innovation, no education and just everyone trying to show off. Conferences are great!
You get your employer to pick up the tab for a week of beer and babes and sight-seeing in another city.
Just be careful what you tweet or the boss may find out.
Self-employed and millionaire... I get to do that on company time all the time... I agree. Just a pointless dog and pony show.
Yeah, after hearing about it from a few people who went on those, I have no plans of going. It's okay as a meetup for people from the forum or who know each other online because of crypto, but it's definitely not going to make me smarter. Glad some someone agrees. They should go around introduce themselves to small business and developers, then they would help the overall community. Talking why bitcoin is good to a bunch of people that love bitcoin is not going to do much, at least that is what I think.
I agree we are still extremely small. Conferences, just like training is only good to catch up with friends. Like it is meant to just be a fun thing...
I see why people want to do that, but you can do that anytime I think. |

I don't quite agree. Reading news online and exchanging ideas on forums and alike are great. But still nothing really compares to a nice and vivid talk between 2 people who are into the same matter. Meeting other people in person adds a whole new layer to Bitcoin and makes it more real.
But the question is? Must we? Conferences are for special types of people and majority of bitcoin enthusiasts are not that type. Well I believe many of the faction who are interested in technology and 'Computers' aren't. But those who are entrepreneurs and/or work in the financial areas, actually love those conferences. On a side note: Ever been to a big IT conference/exhibition/show? You completely missed my point. I am saying that it has been nothing about sharing ideas and more about showing off. |

Conferences are becoming the overcompensation shows. I never once said to myself let me check out a conference. I think I would come back even dumber. Just like the entertainment business, that needs to pat themselves on the back every 5 minutes, so does bitcoin need that as well. How about instead of conferences individual companies in different states host meet ups for developers, small business and individuals. That is how we grow, and not from these stupid conferences where no innovation is being shown off.

Well guess I'm scratching fastbluff off Bitcoininformation will be surprised to see this one. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=684966.msg7979904#msg7979904This is our last signature campaign week, you all can blame Sed, we are going to just use traditional ads, we were enjoying this until the trolls showed up. Gweedo will be making an announcement tomorrow as he is really the one that pulled the plug on this!
That seems like an awfully disproportionate response, for what I assume was a simple misunderstanding. Oh well, I guess that's why people often hire someone else to do this for them.  Yah, kinda surprising. However I suppose it reveals that there were many other issues just below the surface. I mean, the guy was ready to drop a nuclear bomb over the fact that I wanted him to pay me for 6 posts (which I made with his signature) and he was refusing to pay. Obviously there's more here than meets the eye. EDIT: the site is now down too, weird. The site has never been down, please don't spread false information! You're kinda cracking me up with the "false information" thing. This is what I get from curl: sed@citrus:~$ curl https://fastbluff.com -D -

When I look at it in firefox, I see just a blank page. Admin here, the bitcoind keypool was out. Everything should be working great now! |
