I don't really see how that's more convenient than photographing your baseball card with the nytimes.com in background.
Oh wait a minute, the nytimes.com solution doesn't require you to scan any sort of fancy QR code.
My point is that your idea doesn't really solve any problem in a much more elegant way than the outlined solution.
The OP mentioned that it would take a lot of time to authenticate if the newspaper were Chinese... on the flip side, a photo of the NY Times may take a long time for a Chinese/Other person to authenticate. |

I voted He actually never met the woman at all. The whole story was invented by his ennemies because there was no Who the fuck is Dominique Strauss-Kahn like in the other poll.

Also, the redemption URL is blocked out because I haven't got one yet.  SunAvatar, I will donate 'bitcoinvoucher.com' to the cause if you build a website and tell me the name servers. *I'll personally guarantee to keep the domain pointed there for at least 6 months, and will give plenty of notice if there is to be any change. |

from 8 to 10 is merely a 20% increase
Please trade in your calculator for a new one. Yours is broken. |

I'm the one that bet 1 btc on it being a girl... at this point by the current rules I stand to lose 0.038 btc even if it is a girl! Let's hope others come to the party and even up the sides Anyway, you'll be able to spend your profits on 0.0004 of a disposable nappy. |

^^ shhhh... don't anyone tell this guy about the block chain  |

I clarified the description text. Is this better?
And now that's even clearer than before... perhaps the problem is that people aren't even reading those descriptions |

Also, regarding fractional reserves... there is nothing wrong with them SO LONG AS bank losses are not insured by a government agency AND so long as the bank makes this fractional policy known to its depositors. A fractional bank can offer higher interest rates than a 100%-deposit bank, and individuals can choose their risk/reward accordingly.
I get how it's possible to create a fractional fiat bank, because you can just make $ out of thin air to lend out, but how do you create a fractional reserve bitcoin bank? |

1. I just tried to withdraw from Mt Gox and got an error message telling me "Invalid Bitcoin Address" however the bitcoin address is valid and has been used: http://blockexplorer.com/address/1GHATvgY4apPiBqmGkqfM3vWCbqtGAwKQ92. In addition, I've also sent 3.29 to the above address which still hasn't been included in a block yet, however it's also not showing up at http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/ which, I thought all waiting transactions were supposed to be listed at. My client's been open for several hours now, shouldn't it have rebroadcast it by now? (I've tried restarting with -rescan a couple of times). |

Difficulty increase due in about 4-5 hours from the time of this posting
240K
Next question then: How does one find out in advance what the difficulty is going to be 5 hours into the future? I uploaded a page at http://bitcoindifficulty.com a few weeks ago but I'd like to add a little more info there. |

If I default on my mortgage, they take my house.
This is because (in Australia at least) they hold the title to it. So what's different? If you default on your bitcoin mortgage from a bitcoin bank where you've used your house as security, they take your house. |
|
|
|
|
Is there some page somewhere that lists the difficulty history? And possibly, what date/time each jump occurred?
|
|
|
|
if its not an international bank, then its of less importance..
Perhaps, but an Australian bitcoin bank could still be mighty handy for Australians, regardless of whether or not other countries have them too. |
|
|
|
seeing that bitcoin is international... using an existing legal system is going to be a severe pain in the ass...
and reputation is hardly a danger for many people, new name, new face... the internet is anonymous.. and bitcoin is semi-anonymous.
Just because bitcoin is 'anonymous' doesn't mean the institutions that utilise it need to be. You could set up a bank exactly like any other cash bank is set up now... domestically. Why does a bitcoin bank have to automatically be international? For security you could put up title to your house or land, just like when people take out loans for fiat. |

Just an idea, but wouldn't it be a bit more interesting if the timer only resets if the last payment bursts a bubble?
Thoughts? Concerns?
Thanks for taking the time to read my idea :-)
Ooh, I like that idea. It would make it a lot more fun. Me too, it would be a bit like raising the minimum spend*, but in a variable way. *Minimum needed to reset the timer |
