The wider spread, on different IP networks, the better. Our accessible P2P network is something like 0.2% the size of the Azureus Island (total accessible Azureus/Vuze), and an even smaller fraction of the total active-at-any-one-time bittorrent userbase. In file sharing terms, we are barely to the level of a popular torrent.
Have any devs ever talked about maybe making BitTorrent client plugins that act as a Bitcoin node (with empty wallet?) as a step to piggybacking on BitTorrent popularity. The added traffic would be trivial in comparison to file downloading. If getting the node count up is important then this seems like it has potential. Absolutely. Or even better, maybe the plugin would permit you to send somebody bitcoins in exchange for a file, or file storage. Hey Jgarzik, how about you unban the person you ragebanned and state that you don't want any more discussion of Iran? That is reasonable, but banning someone for it isn't. And since it took this long you should also apologize. |

Bob wants to gamble on various with tiny skates.
Bob makes a special condensed payment of 0.01BTC. Bob signs the transaction with the address's private key. SatoshiPokerz acknowledges this transaction, and signs it with their address's transaction fee.
Bob then "transfers" 0.001 btc to SatoshiPokerz. Bob signs the amount + timestamp. SatoshiPokerz signs that message.
Bob loses, and decides to play Satoshiwheelz instead. Bob then makes a special condensed payment with the same 0.01 BTC to Satoshiwheelz. Bob, SatoshiPokerz and Satoshiwheelz then signs 0.009 available. (SatoshiPokerz will check the transfers, and will only sign if the amount claimed by bob is 0.009 btc).
Bob plays 0.001 btc in Satoshiwheelz. This message is signed by all 3 parties. He loses. [etc etc etc].
Note that all of the microtransactions are NOT sent through out the network. They are direct peer to peer. Let's say Bob ends up with 0.015 btc in total (after playing a lot) and decides to withdraw. All bob needs to do is push out one transaction to the network, include all of the messages. Miners verify that they are signed properly.
Unlimited transactions, Bob can even send 1 satoshi a transaction (1) without fees (2) without bloating the blockchain. Just two transactions on the network.

Mine for bitcoins.. literally!
There's already servers that gives out satoshis for mining blocks. However, you earn something like a few cents an hour. This project's goal is to make a bitcoin-backed minecraft server with a player-based economy, and lots of gameplay elements (eg factions, arenas, lotteries, spells).
How People Will Earn Bitcoins:
1. Mine for ores, and then sell them automatically to other players and earn BTC!
2. Play FUN games like spleef, fight in arenas, play lotteries, and earn BTC!
3. Join a faction and fight your enemies! Earn BTC for conquering enemies, and top factions get massive BTC!
4. Participate in official events like fishing contests to get BTC!
5. PVP people who are being hunted (by someone) and earn BTC - like a hitman!
and countless more.
How The Server Will Be Kept Running:
All bitcoins (with the sole exception of official events) comes from other players. If someone puts an offer to buy a diamond sword for 0.02 btc, then it's worth 0.02 btc. Server never loses out money except for hosting. Sure, a lot of people won't deposit any coins in, but those who want to speed it up will. And so will people in factions while they wage war. (Powerful) Spells will consume a lot of blocks, including common likes like dirt so everything is worth something.
How The Server Will Make Profit:
A small fee in the economy, donators benefits, et cetra.
Thoughts?

Pretty cool. Make a full bitcoin economy (factions, real shop), add stuff like lottery, slots, pvp

1. People who want bitcoin to take off as a method of accepting donations contribute to the bounty
2. When a major* company, website, foundation or organization accepts donations via bitcoins, the entire pool is donated to them.
3. We can tell people "if you accept bitcoins, you'll get an instant $XXX".
*Major is defined as a site in the alexa US 500 or less.

everyone gets their own address
let's say here's the bids:
0.01btc
0.01btc
0.01btc
0.02btc
0.02btc
0.03btc
0.05btc
0.06btc
0.06btc
0.08btc
0.10btc
0.14btc
0.03 wins as they have lowest unique

Happy halving day everyone. In 30 or 40 years you can tell all those next generation Bitcoin developers that you have been using Bitcoin so long that when you started blocks had a 50 BTC reward.
It is kinda weird seeing blocks with a 25 BTC subsidy though ...
Yeah  I want to have mined a block with a 50 btc reward.. |

Wow.. hopefully you get your coins back. Nakabot should compensate by marking all of them as wins.

Mix your coins |

1. I buy a new VCC on Entropay. Entropay charges 5% in fees.
2. You give me the bitcoins, via escrow if you want.
3. I give you the VCC (minus a 4% fee that is charged by me) and you're free to do whatever you want with it.
|

Idea: For real life shops (eg resturants, bars), we pay a bit more with bitcoin (eg 2% more). This is to encourage businesses to adopt bitcoin as a payment method.

Location: Australia / US only. Must not keep logs. Will pay a bitcoin.

1. I will need to test the VCC to make sure it works for the site I'm going to use it on. So how can we do this?
a) you give me the vcc details and I test. if it works, I'll pay, if it doesn't I'll destroy the vcc details. obviously this requires you to trust me.
b) I tell you what site I want to use it on, and you enter the vcc details there with my account.
c) you could give me the details via teamviewer and see my screen as I boot into a freshly installed Windows VM with process monitor open so you can see I'm not keylogging anything.
2. Only a small amount of $ is needed, like $10 or so.
3. I will pay you 100% of mtgox weighted for the value on card, up to $15, plus one bitcoin.
Interested? PM!
