I don't know about all of these things. They are so tedious and boring.
Plus, they make the site owners a lot more than you'll get in BTC. There's no other reason to operate such a site. |

You should probably upload some mock examples, in the least.
As mentioned it is sorta hard to do right now. As I also mentioned : You dont need to pay until you agree with it. It will all be watermarked so it isnt stolen. Beside the point: there's no indication on what kind of quality you actually put out. You mentioned you've done work on animated cartoons and adverts; is there anything online, perhaps YouTube, that you could showcase? It's difficult to hire someone who has no evidence of work, know what I mean? Anyone who works in the creative field will have something to put up as a benchmark for what to expect. Even programmers will have a few projects they'll showcase so you know what kind of product to expect. What I'm proposing is, doing some pretend-work so people can see what you're capable of, if you don't have access to anything else you've done in the past. |

It's actually very soothing  |

This is actually really cool What dictates which tone is played? Is it random, or do the numbers influence it? |

I don't understand. There should be a way to create new bitcoins (increasing the amount of existing bitcoins, that is how it gains its value), because creating bitcoins is allowed until 2140. After that, there will be only exchanging.
All 21 Million bitcoins are already existing, miners just find them (referred to as minting) and add them in what we currently can use right now. |

Ok. I've been GPU mining at ~3GH/s in the shadows for a year or so now and don't want to get left behind. Looks like I'm going to have to buy an ASIC to keep up.
Apparently Avalon is the reputable one, has shipped units, the whole 9 yards. They don't have any availability right now, but I'm sure soon will.
What I'm trying to figure out is:
Why would they sell a 60GH/s unit for $1500, or even $6500 when a single unit sitting in their labs will make this in a month(at half the current BTC price)
If I have 600 units that will make me $60k/year, why would I sell them for a total of $3.6mil when they could make me $36mil in a single year. It doesn't make sense to me and is what is preventing me from sending 62BTC to them.
Even if you consider the increase in difficulty...it's 1 block every 10 mins right?
Current network has rate 52TH/s. 600 asics at 60GH/s each is 36TH/s, hash rate would increase to 88TH/s, or 40% of the network hash rate. So they generate a block every 24mins (40% of 6 blocks/hour) or 60 blocks/day. 25 coins/block = 1500BTC/day. Assuming the current bubble pops, $40/btc = $60k/day = their total sales made in bitcoins in 2 months and they still have the hardware.
Butterfly Labs pricing for their (so far) vaporware is even more perplexing...or perhaps they're doing exactly what I'm questioning...
Or am I missing something?
You know, I really wouldn't doubt it. If I had so many units that could mine gold over the Internet, I wouldn't let anyone else have it. |

I predict, by the end of this year, Bitcoin will be quite a popular subject. 2014 will be the year everyone's on about this new currency that's challenging the state. 2016, the upcoming American president will likely be well aware of it, if Obama isn't already mentioning it and why either feels it's good or bad for the nation.

I do not believe the US dollar will collapse any time soon.
But then you gotta explain how you've come to this conclusion  |

I just got this real crazy idea.
What if Bitcoin encourages people to stop spending more than they need to buy? Since by holding BTC you're likely to become wealthier, thereby decreasing the need to spend frivolously, people would hold onto their coins and spend them only when they had to, such as for food, shelter, and the recurring payments of entertainment--and everything else would be only if they really mean to spend, as on their business ventures or schooling or whatever else. On the other hand, with fiat, you're encouraged to get rid of it ASAP on whatever it is you need or want. Capitalism seems to favor an inflating currency, as people are more likely to get rid of their cash by either buying or investing in something else (but average Joe seems to prefer to buy.) Therefor, more money runs around, the economy (is supposed to) keep moving, la-de-da.
I think a society that's more focused on conserving their cash (and thus, their resources) is much better off than the society that must eternally spend and expand. Maybe people won't waste their hard-earned money so quickly then, and won't be so easy to coerce into giving a bank for gambling purposes--I mean, investing. This system seemed to work well when we needed to spend and expand, but now that phase is over, and the cup keeps spilling over.

Re: price swings and how they affect merchants - there's a menu cost. You need to change your price as BTC moves around since your inputs are likely denominated in your local currency, but your output is priced in BTC.
Keep your menu price in local currency, use a BTC quote at time of checkout. It's not rocket science. But what if you put Bitcoin on a rocket and flew it to Mars? |

Nope, no highlight on your ignore either You have to remember though, that it doesn't count all forum members in the highlight. I can't remember which ones it does count though... Bah! Guess I'll have to try harder!  |

Who might that be I'm hoping no-one is ignoring me lol. You'll find his ads in several user's sigs, I think it's called the Bitcoin Megastore. The guy's a prick; first thing he did when he was called out on not accepting Bitcoin, is essentially call every member of this forum diseased and some form of retarded. Because insulting someone who's trying to help you is completely normal. AFAIK nobody is ignoring you, but I wouldn't be surprised if my ignore button is a faint shade of yellow. I don't keep my thoughts secret |

A whole slew of assholes I mostly only ignore the willingly ignorant who turn and think they can argue with their non-facts. There's also that one asshole who runs that one Bitcoin store that doesn't accept Bitcoin, but sells a bunch of junk with the Bitcoin logo on it. What a genius. |

Bytecoin is superior to Bitcoin, because a Byte holds 8 bits, thereby increasing my cash flow by a factor of eight. |

Hey, if Web 3.0 marks a new generation of web content, I don't see why not. I'd call this a pretty big leap for what's made possible via the Internet.

I hate sharing out my brilliant observations and not even getting a "k thx" in return. Or: "I disagree". You're effing welcome!
I disagree |
