I need someone to make various pieces of art in accordance with the rules on fanart.tv
From time to time I get music or video which isn't on fanart so I need someone to add the art.
Once the art is accepted then I can pay out.

I'm glad that people at least some potential in the idea. I would love to see Tor's quality increase. As I said I haven't enough know how to pursue this myself. But if people did see potential I am will to help in whatever way I can. I can contribute to a bounty, that's probably my only useful skill in this regard. :-) Unless there's need for an EU Banking Lawyer.

I currently use Dropbox; would migrate to this service due to BTC acceptance! How does it compare to Dropbox do you know?

That's an interesting idea. I wouldn't make the clients mine, though. Not everyone has access to a reasonable mining rig. Just have the clients pay BTC for premium bandwidth. For instance, offer to pay 0.001BTC per MB of transit. That's highly profitable for the relays - it's a 100x markup over premium internet transit. And it'd be a reasonable price for many users who want to go fast.
The two problems I see: 1, you'd have to prepay for your bandwidth, though that's not so bad when you can do very small microtransactions with BTC; 2, if you get your BTC from a non-anonymous source it defeats the purpose of TOR. Clients who care could mine their own; most won't care since they're not worried about a threat strong enough to trace the coins back.
Well that's good idea. I would happily pay for premium bandwidth. Getting coins from anonymous sources would hopefully become easier in future when BTC becomes more widespread. You could meet someone and pay cash or whatever. R |

My gut reaction was: no way is this going to happen, mainly because people who mine usually want the Bitcoins for themselves. On further reflection, I think this isn't quite impossible to get working - maybe in the TOR userbase there are people who'd be willing to part with some GPU cycles to support the system, even if they wouldn't be interested in mining as such. I think you'd have to make it voluntary, though, with the TOR installer / executable asking the user if they're willing to mine, and my feeling is people tend to say no when they're asked to do something extra.
In other words, there may well be a bunch of people who'd go for this, but whether it's big enough to justify the effort, I don't know. The biggest problem is, you'd probably have to get it included into the TOR client, which is likely to be an uphill battle as it would probably seem somewhat tangential to their actual focus.
I understand that people who mine want to keep them for themselves, but I saw this as more of a 'fee' for using Tor and rewarding those to give services to Tor i.e. you pay with GPU cycles which can be anonymous I assume also many usign Tor are from oppressive regimes where they may not be able to afford fiat currency payments. I accept it is tangential to Tor's aim and would be uphill to get them to include it, but they idea was to increase the usability of Tor by making it beneficial for people to act as relays. |

Hi,
I really like Bitcoin and have been becoming more and more interested in Tor with Sopa and Acta being discussed. But Tor is quite slow, which I think is due to a lack of relays.
I was thinking of a way to inventiveize being a relay. One idea I had, also I should preface that I don't have much tech experience so don't know how realistic my thoughts are, but I thought that the Tot client could make users do some Bitcoin mining, then for all the mined coins to be distributed fairly between those that act as relays.
Not sure how many use Tor in order to be even capable of competing with pools to get coins to be worthwhile for relays.
Again, just an idea from an uninformed user.
Best,
R

Hi, I am looking for someone to write a style file for bibtex based upon http://www.law.ox.ac.uk/publications/oscola.phpThey have a endnote file which I would happily accept as guiding some of the harder aspects of the style i.e. year is (2011) or [2011] in case citations depending on how it is cataloged, endnote have let users manually enter the citation on that. Interested in quotes for getting this done. |

4) Paxum will not accept a scanned image above 4 MB in size for identity verification, but states that images must be "high quality" and rejects faxed images. It took me several tries to come up with an image that was of a size it would accept and also a quality it would accept. This is *really* annoying. I opened an account with them, sent them Scanned Passport that I have saved from PayPal, MoneyBookers etc, and sent Utility Bill. They rejected the Passport because a part of the top edge was too close to the edge of the scan. So I sent a scan of another Government ID as my Passport is in my Parent's house in a safe so I don't keep it in mine Still no dice. So I closed the account. I didn't even want to use it for deposit just withdrawal. R |

It would be incapable of patent protection in Europe, I assume other places too, as it has been seen publicly therefore does not satisfy the novelty requirement. It's a strict rule; the windsurf lost patent protection because someone had a photo of some kid that stuck a sail on a surf board before the patent was granted.

It seems bitcoincharts show the current rate at .eu based on when an order is finalized by the seller which can take a few days. I think the api should be updated to show the last sale's price even though it hasn't been finalized yet.
Makes comparing the markets easier when looking at charts.

. Anyone having issues with bitmarket.eu selling their coins for lower than they entered? I entered sell order for 12.5EUR and it keeps trying to sell them at 9EUR. I have to keep trying to cancel with the buyers
Are you sure, you entered your order without typo? I've got only good experience with Bitmarket so far, selling this weekend last time. And it happend already twice to me, that my counterpart asked for cancellation because of a typo on his side. Perhaps you should write an email describing your problem to BitMarket staff. . Hey, First I thought it was a typo then I tried again after the counterpart allowed the cancellation and it happened again. I have emailed and Twitted them to let them know. No response yet. |

use a different service.
one that works.
^^ this What settings did you use on the trade? i.e any stop/limit, market, etc etc? Settings are simple. Price per 1BTC? I entered 12.5EUR it sells for 9EUR. They just added a moneybookers and a dwolla service today so I reckon they messed up their code somewhere when adding this. |

I will once they unfreeze the coins that have been sold below the rate I entered. Just wondering if anyone else is getting this problem and to warn others to watch out for it.

Looks cool, but again can't use it as it has no European deposit/withdraw.
