Awesome work, sir - and wow, what a detailed schedule.

Is the code on github anywhere?

Auctioning Litecoin for Bytecoin:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=823884.0

Hi, folks, Walter Rothbard here, Bytecoin enthusiast.

I need to build my stock of Bytecoin, so I'm going to be running one-day auctions, selling 1.0 LTC per day to the highest bidder in Bytecoins.

The current auction began at 2014-10-25T00:00:00 UTC and ends at 2014-10-26T00:00:00 UTC.  As of this update, there are no bids!

After that another Litecoin goes up for sale, taking bids for 24 hours, terminating at 00:00:00 UTC.  I'll do this for several days, selling 1 Litecoin per day.

Place your bids by posting on this thread.  I'll contact the winners by PM with an address to send payment, after which I'll send the Litecoin.  I'll update this post to declare the winners and keep track of payment status.  Bids for each day's new auction can begin immediately at 00:00:00 UTC.

Make sure you understand where you are relative to the UTC timezone so you can understand when each auction starts and ends.

I've conducted a set of auctions like this before, if anyone wants to see the history:

I also did a similar set of auctions for BBQCoin:

The Bitcoin economy is very much like a new country.

When you visit a foreign country you have to exchange your money if you want to spend.  Depending on where you are going, that might be easier or harder.

As time goes by, people will figure out ways to better serve the market for those who need their money exchanged going into this country.  Those people who serve that market better will be rewarded.

What I'm saying is that anybody who thinks they know how to make it easier to buy Bitcoin can probably earn some money by selling Bitcoin in this hypothetical easy-to-buy manner.  After all, if they improve convenience over the existing offerings, it should be easy for them to win customers over from the competition.

What I'm point out is that it's not nearly so easy as people think it is.

Meanwhile, people who raise the issue but expect other people to do something about it aren't really contributing!

We don't have a shortage of issue-identifiers; we have a shortage of problem solvers.

Contribute to solving the problem and you can likely make a bundle of wealth for your contribution.

Yep - when you conduct these things in public, we all get the chance to form our own opinions on the persons involved and how they handle things.  And many of us are not shy about expressing out opinions.

Well, that would certainly be a non-proportional response!

What an unfair and hypocritical thing to demand of people.  I recognize your message is tongue in cheek, but what you are describing is slavery.  People do not own other people.

Actually that's not entirely true.  Under the present legal situation, people are in fact owned.  And they currently live for their rulers.

I believe the generation code is still built and used in testnet, if anyone wants to try that out.

Wouldn't any other solution that came in today have the same problem?

If Bitcoins can be stolen from places like Mt Gox and Sheep Marketplace that didn't take all possible precautions ... that somehow means that no matter what precautions you take you can't keep them secure?

I'm not following that.

lol


Suddenly I've got the urge to go fire up Nesticle, Stella, and MAME.

Can you acquire vircurex but not acquire vircurex's debt?  Because I imagine you would start out wiped out.

Maybe you could license vircurex's code base.

If that happened I would probably be with you as a customer.  I miss Vircurex!

I hereby agree to this arrangement between myself and Holliday.

And salute you as kin.

Threads like this make me wish Dread Pirate Roberts had gotten further with his book club before being imprisoned.

Personally, I had no trouble getting it to work.

Thanks for the awesome software - I was able to compile and configure a private pool in about five minutes!
