what is 'TIX' ??

@crumbs
what is the source for this diagram ?

There may be some doubt on the the BTC correction in October.

1. true

2. https://all4btc.com/, coinmap.org, https://www.bitcoinstore.com/, https://www.bitmit.net/, http://usebitcoins.info/

3. if you do not pay a transaction fee it may take long. Otherwise the transaction will be visible immediately and confirmed within minutes

4. try that - anybody has the right to give out redeem codes for his goods

Another good overview is
http://coinchoose.com/

One thing should be evident - as long as Bitcoin is rising fast in deflation all other cryptocurrencies are loosing value.

Bei der allgemeinen Funkstille hier im Hamburger Forumsteil, wunder ich mich auch nicht
dass BTC in HH kaum eine Rolle spielen. Gestern war ich im Queue,
wo jeden Montag ein Pool Billiard Tournier stattfindet und habe mich mit dem Wirt unterhalten.
Der hatte natürlich keine Ahnung, was Bitcoins überhaupt sind (vermutlich wäre die Italienische Mafia
eher sein Thema  kleiner Schwerz) - jedenfalls glaube ich, dass ein kleiner Flyer zum Verteilen
meine Erklärung sehr erleichter hätte.

Wer hätte denn Interesse an der Gestaltung des Flyers mitzuwirken und würde sich an den
Druckkosten beteiligen ?

@adamas
Thank you very much - from my POV this diagram simply reflects the long term development.

Here is an overview on many cryptocurrencies with their profitability:

http://coinchoose.com/

In reference to what I wrote before:

the Bitcoin value is just the believe of the people. Since more and more people are believing in it this is the savest harbour any asset can have. Even one goverment tries to destroy and put little damage on it all people from other place of the word continue in their believe - this is more save than gold because goverments can forbid gold trafficking but not Bitcoin trafficking over borders.

This is a very inaccurate speculation - more a believe or wish:
 - not everybody has access or advantage of BTC
 - who says that BTC goes mainstream - maybe it does not
 - maybe the market for cryptocurrencies will widen up and other currencies will be on the same level
 - "1% of transactions, a BTC could become worth tens of thousands of dollars" - two unknown numbers combined to a third one 
 - maybe it will take 10 years until the market for cryptocurrencies settles
 - ...

Maybe - maybe not - but if not it is worth to find algorithms and protocols that enable it to handle this volume of messages.

The value of Bitcoin (and anything else) is simply what people are willed to pay for it - same for fiat currency which has the adavantage (?) that goverments made supporting statements on it.

Eg. take a bible. There may be 2.26 billion christians on this globe with believe in what is writen there. Surprisingly the bible itself can be bought/exchanged for small money. That is because the total number of bible is not limited. Consequently the prise dropped down to the printing costs.

For comparison take a peace of ground in New York City. This is a very limited resource what many people believe in. And not surprisingly the price for this kind of ground is very high.

Bitcoins is a limited resource with a steadily growing number of believers. And the more it is attacked the more it is well known trusted. That will raise its value.

PS: Definitely it has nothing to do with drugs or other crimes.

That has no meaning since Litecoin can be build into any service or application as easy as Bitcoin.
On the other side Litecoin simply provides the nessecary liquidity (number of units) for bigger markets
which is limited to 21E14 for Bitcoins  (the EZB has given out something around this as EURO).

So my expectation is that the future will bring combined services for LTC/BTC and the exchange rate
will go to 0.25

Hi all

since the breakdown of bitcointalk.org we know how easy it is to attack the community on central services. It was a good sign that no serious implication has been on the market (even not the SR shutdown   ). But on the other side we have also the experience from Bitcoin itself how much better distributed, trustless systems work.

Therefor I suggest two applications to be created:

1. distributed discussion board system based on the Bitmessage platform and protocol

2. distributed market place for for coins also based on the technology of Bitmessage

With these kind of services nobody would be able to shutdown or interrupt the community anymore.

What is your opinion - anybody there to create a paper ?

Bitcoin is a very good example for a currency which simply reflects the market size plus investor speculation. If the market grows - and it will - BTC will go up automatically. Nobody is stupid enough to invest a billion in BTC as a single investment and speculation. But as market participants start to pay more and more goods in BTC and rebuy the paid BTC on the currency market then it will have an effect on the price.

Gaddafi hatte doch schon einen konstruktiven Vorschlag: Aufteilung der Schweiz in den Deutschen, Französischen und Italienischen Teil.

Simply encrypt the wallet.dat with Bitcoin-QT. Then it may be stored anywhere in a cloud system.

complete nonsense - if the USD goes down in a rush BTC will skyrocket like anything, because it is not bound to any other asset or currency. but in difference to USD nobody can print BTC

Ist bei mir auch angekommen - nur ansonsten ist Schweigen im Walde 

Die Kollegen vom Bitcoin-Stammtisch München haben einen Flyer erstellt -
den findet man hier:  http://bitcoinage.de/

Schlage vor für Hamburg ähnliches zu machen -  was  mein Ihr?

PS: Was ist mit Kommunikation über Bitmessage ?
