261  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / How about setting a MAX coin age ?! on: June 07, 2013, 08:46:09 AM
I am not sure whether it is already discussed.

Is it ok to set a max coinage (5 - 10 years), so coins that are were not spent for specific can be invalidated.

and, to distribute these coins through mining rewards (throughout for next few years).

So that, no coins were ever lost. Smiley

I propose two new symbols too: 1 and 2
Can't be more practical:

How many do I owe you?
210

How many do you owe me?
100.01


so, you owe me, 9.99.  Roll Eyes

pay me my 19.99 now. in other words, 29.99. Cool
263  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Sheepcoin to dominate all alt-currencies on: June 06, 2013, 09:09:39 AM

Villagers in China can buy gadgets with sheep.

People in China's Kashgar can pay for their consumer electronics, such as smartphones, with sheep. One entrepreneur recently announced the innovative program in order to teach locals that gadgets aren't as expensive as they thought.

The "price list" isn't ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-ad. A smartphone costs one sheep, and a laptop costs four.

The biggest hurdle so far is that local villages don't have access to the Internet.

I am running out of my patience.

Can somebody give me a better link to put in bitcoin wikipedia page as a reference to XBT.

Looks like, change.org petition is not accepted.

Somebody is deleting XBT related edits again and again.

269  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: GBSB - a new way to GET and SPEND bitcoins on: June 06, 2013, 03:34:32 AM
This is really big. Cool

Everyone wants to pay less (5%) of items they buy, or for any other bills.
People who wants bitcoin also ready to pay more (5% - 10%).

This is not just amazon specific business opportunity.
This can be implemented in every country.

Somebody deleted XBT references from bitcoin wikipedia page, for being used wikipedia as a SOAPBOX. Sad
I have explained it in the bitcoin talk page, to the person, and put the changes back to the page.

I have provided change.org petition as reference.
If anyone knows a better reference link, please go ahead and update wikipedia.

otherwise, update this thread, and I will update wikipedia.

Just wondering, did ripple go through so much trouble for 'XRP' ?!
Looks like, XRP is also not yet approved.

Jon Matonis:

It looks like XBT is the proposed ISO 4217 symbol for #Bitcoin. Gold is XAU and Silver is XAG. http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/six-interbank-clearing-include-a-symbol-for-bitcoin-in-iso-4217

thats just an idea, a symbol / alphabet which could be made only using 1s and 0s.

there are many alphabets that fits the above requirement too; like, Q, D, P, d, B or, θ, etc.

anyone is designing bitcoin symbol can consider the above concept.

---

Anyone is designing for XBT symbol, can start with *


just an idea.
274  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Proposing two bitcoin currency symbols; % and * on: June 05, 2013, 10:49:47 AM

Hi, this post is not for fun.

I am proposing two more bitcoin currency symbols; % and *

I was just checking key board symbols,

% inspiration;  some symbol that could be constructed with 1s and 0s. % is just that.
* inspiration; from this we can get all alphabets of X, B and T. somehow. how??  Roll Eyes

example,
  %567
  *234

ugly? please feel free to ignore.  Cool

There are already more than a dozen symbols proposed already. Sad

I am yet to add these symbols to, https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_symbol
275  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC - XBT - bitcoinfoundation.org on: June 05, 2013, 10:38:14 AM
updated http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin, for XBT.

Hope somebody won't delete it sooner.  Sad

Nice idea.
You are making some waves..!

Thanks. Smiley

277  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Start Using mBTC as Standard Denomination? on: June 05, 2013, 07:14:02 AM
Our startup will be calling the mBTC a "bit", and using the symbol below.
...
Also, there is a perfect unicode symbol that already exists (U+0180) ƀ

'Bits' would be best suited for colloquial / everyday usage, like bucks, grands.

Whether this 'bits' would be milli / micro BTC depends on the exchange rate.

Now it is perfectly fine to use 'bits' for 1 milli BTC, but you wouldn't be calling it 'bits', when 1 milli BTC costs around $100.

Still, we need a ISO standard currency code, XBT.

Again, all these currency codes (BTC, mBTC, uBTC, Bits, XBT) can coexist peacefully. Smiley

278  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Start Using mBTC as Standard Denomination? on: June 05, 2013, 06:10:34 AM

XBT, please. Cool

I don't think this would scare new users. I hope this would benefit entire bitcoin ecosystem. Besides, these symbols (BTC, mBTC and XBT) can co-exist peacefully.

Here is a petition from change.org,

Thanks.
