Regarding the forum theme, is the bounty for suggesting the default theme, or the themes included for the user to choose from? Edit: The default themes kinda suck right now... This or this is what I would use if I had the option to. the bounty is for suggesting a theme/design and getting enough votes, there is no restriction on what you can propose would you be open to posting screen shots in here? so that people can look and comment instead of clicking on links use postimage.org/ and print screen with ms paint |

nah way too early only maybe 0.1% adoption at this point. but we are moving to 1% adoption in the next year 1 or 2 I believe.
by the end of the decade this will hit full on critical mass which is hitting about 15 or 20% where the network effect takes over.
and when that happens i think some very interesting things for the history books will start to happen.
for example if the dominant currency is not government controlled, things start getting real interesting. if certain cutting edge distributed applications do no accept fiat, ummm how does govt even do the things it is supposed to do?
but the more real interesting answer to that question is that you can start using distributed systems to pay for and care for things that bureaucracies are responsible for (like what roads get build, how much forest is cut, etc). They were invented back around the time of the Roman Empire or maybe dating back to the Babylonians and Egyptians... well if you can coinify bureaucratic decisions from transaction and proof of stake data, you can then lower your cost of government which is a necessarily high expense for analog civilizations.
sounds a bit far out but i think it is possible to have much more efficient societal level decision making that isn't such Byzantine labyrinth of regulations that even lawyers I talk to barely have a sufficient knowledge of to make sound decisions.
JP Morgan are trying to replicate. Also a Russian bank. I'm sure there are others. Who knows, we might see SDRs in a bitcoin protocol. At expansion rate of 20% per month, doubling time is every 3.5 months. From 1 million base to 1% of population, approx 70 million will take about 21 months. So, yeah about 2 years unless we hit some kind of tipping point in certain markets before then. Decentralisation will be an interesting transition. Yeah we are definitely seeing the start of the replication stage. Its a good sign banks are trying to replicate even though bitcoin penetration in the real world is still so low. Banks can see a good thing. "Shame" they have no chance of usurping it. of course they can usurp it. never assume something cannot be done. |

That's why we must not fight them, rather bring them into the fold by attraction and bringing them to realize that they only can benefit financially by adopting these technologies.
Most of the people in our societies have been paying some kind of imagined debt whether perpetual (slaves or serfs) or temporary (wage slavery), our societies are debt driven not opportunity driven. Crypto makes access to capital that much easier, because it lowers transaction costs of finding high performers.
Anyway this is all I have to say on this subject. For now.
First they ignore it then they laugh at it. Then they understand it and will try to replicate it. Only after that will they all pile in and get as many as their pudgy fingers can grab. Still, that is ok. At least debt based fiat will be more or less fading into history. We are at replication stage I think. nah way too early only maybe 0.1% adoption at this point. but we are moving to 1% adoption in the next year 1 or 2 I believe. by the end of the decade this will hit full on critical mass which is hitting about 15 or 20% where the network effect takes over. and when that happens i think some very interesting things for the history books will start to happen. for example if the dominant currency is not government controlled, things start getting real interesting. if certain cutting edge distributed applications do no accept fiat, ummm how does govt even do the things it is supposed to do? but the more real interesting answer to that question is that you can start using distributed systems to pay for and care for things that bureaucracies are responsible for (like what roads get build, how much forest is cut, etc).

There's a set of quick and easy bounties to help with mastercointalk.org (using SMF style forums) since talk.mastercoin.org was a bit confusing for people. [SWARM] $300 in Bounties - SMF Forums, Be Global Mods, Make Look Nice, Promote
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=427327.0Please help out and join as either a mod or help pick the design, or if you want to make a quick $100 all you need to do is post a referral URL at a few places |

We did another update on masterXchange.
- Improved history of trades
- Option to receive emails on trade (under "account settings")
And lots of minor changes.
i know i will get some negative comments on this feature request... i'm okay with that. so here goes: can the exchange show on the first page the price graph, the bids and asks, and also a troll box? I know, I know but I have such fond memories of the trollbox on btce and i think it really helped people learn about crypto and develop a sense of community. i got a lot of advice (good) on there how to build my litecoin miners, how to create p2pool server, etc maybe let people who have enough trading volume post emoticons?  okay maybe not that far... |

great! just added you. btw that is your referral link, not your profile, but it's okay i found ya |

Added as well! |
|
|

awesome! you have global mod rights and also rights to create categories and i think also add icons and stuff like that. if you need anything else just let me know. |

Global ModeratorsI'm looking for folks to help set up the categories for http://mastercointalk.org/ and do other moderator/admin type stuff to make sure the forum operates well and is to people's liking. And recommend modifications/mods. First people (up to 10) to get promoted to a Global Mod and actually create at least one category will split $100 in Mastercoins/MSC. If you create some b/s category you get disqualified (i.e., don't create a a category for why dogecoin is better than peercoin, ripple, ethereum, nxt and bitcoin). To be a mod once you sign up, post link to your profile here.
SMF DESIGN THEME
The person or group who proposes the top 2 SMF designs to be used (see http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/) will split the next $100 in MSC. How do you win? You get the most votes, likes, whatever. You can use reddit, fb, bitcointalk voting, manual thread voting on bitcointalk or mastercointalk or the dogecoin reddit, the sky's the limit. Voting will end on 01/29 at midnight GMT, post a screenshot and links to your votes here; and totals here. The top 2 win.
Are You a Social Networking Sex Magnet?
People follow and stalk you for no reason at all? This might be for you... So this one is really simple: refer the most sign ups by the end of the month and you or your group gets $100 in MSC of course. There is a community of Mastercoiners on bitcointalk, reddit, google, fb, etc. Low hanging fruit for you to sign up. You can use your referral link like this one below, and if you are working in a group/swarm you can add them all together to win, and distribute the $100 in MSC to your groupies. Pick a lead. http://mastercointalk.org/index.php?action=refferals;refferedby=2It is located in your profile on the forum, looks sort of like this:  If I catch you creating b/s accounts, you or your group win a lump of coal from Satoshi next Xmas. Post your total referrals here on February 1st. Include links to the accounts of your groupies that represent the total.------ Any other suggestions for future bounties just PM me. Note: you need to actually read this page and follow the simple and few rules of the contests. ------

btw I just remembered that the Chinese give each other these red envelops with lucky money in the new year or leading up to the Chinese new year, and then they burn it I think... I'm not Chinese so I don't really know how it works.
I know it was not the original intent of this project to burn, but I thought how ironic that the burn would end around the Chinese new year.
No, Chinese will use the lucky money in the envelops. Chinese only burn fake money as an way to worship ancestors. These are two different things. so the lucky money is real money then? when do they burn the fake money? Yes, the lucky money is real money. The fake money is burnt on Qingming (around 5th April), 7th month in lunar calendar, and other days, mostly for ancestors worship. Actually, burning real money is illegal in China, just like in most countries. cool thanks for the lesson |

Some noobie told me that Amazon declined to integrate Bitcoin, but they are hot on Doge |
