They're really trying to push to Bitcoin as hard as they can ;-)

Awesome work, cedivad, hat off!

But why using a commercial software?
This would render more difficult a possible (official) switch to this new board, I suppose.

Impressive feature list, and congratulations for being the first to find a good use of multig!

Looks awesome, I'll experiment a bit.

Very interesting interview with James Rickards about collapse of the monetary system.. and the replacement of the dollar…by BTC??
Actually he told the exact opposite, but you got me see the video for that! :-D

It's a good one, nonetheless.

I'm sorry if I'm a bit off topic, but I would like to signal all of you the story of Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock, one of the biggest (maybe the bigger?) retails in the world accepting bitcoins:

http://www.wired.com/business/2014/02/rise-fall-rise-patrick-byrne/

The usual thought is that he began accepting them for marketing purposes while in reality he don't give a shit about Bitcoin.

Short answer: quite the opposite.

Read it, it's worth your time.

Too bad a viable business model that included leaving the bop server open source (an apache project would be great) couldn't be found.

The Bitcoin economy is still in its infancy and many years shell pass before a community of contributors can form and evolve your project.

For unknown reasons (ok: because his reasoning is flawed), he talks about the doomsdayer and it applies it in reverse on bitcoin.

I would like to make a simple feature request, if it's not already available (I was not able to find it): give the possibility to copy to the clipboard a public key in the address book or in the wallet.

Use case is when I'm chatting with someone or browsing a site requesting an address to make a payment I would be able to choose one of my addresses and give it to them.

Keep up the excellent work!

114  Local / Italiano (Italian) / Re: ARRIVATO PRIMO BANCOMAT DI BITCOIN IN ITALIA. PARLA FRIULANO!! on: February 22, 2014, 09:21:02 AM
Credo che in Italia solo una banca vera e propria o perlomeno una società finanziaria con tutti i crismi (quindi autorizzate a operare sui mercati finanziari), sarebbe titolata a installare un ATM che converte BTC in FIAT.
Mi sa anche a me.

In ogni modo facciamo un favore all'informazione corretta e smettiamo di chiamare bancomat il lamassu, visto che no lo è.
115  Local / Italiano (Italian) / Re: ARRIVATO PRIMO BANCOMAT DI BITCOIN IN ITALIA. PARLA FRIULANO!! on: February 21, 2014, 08:51:47 PM
Ottima notizia, complimenti Gavrilo per l'iniziativa ed il risultato.

Ci tengo però a far notare che il dispositivo di Lamassu non è un bancomat, infatti il lamassu, a differenza di questi ultimi, non permette di ritirare banconote.

Il lamassu quindi è una sorta di distributore automatico e suppongo che sia questo il motivo per cui è stato possibile avere i permessi.

La mia domanda a Gavrilo quindi è: avete provato a vedere che tipo di permessi servono per installare un vero bancomat, tipo Robocoin?

Immagino che la faccenda sia molto più complessa...

So, what are the differences?
Are you serious?

Yes, I am.

Quote
Anarchy = no rules about anything, you do anything, random warriors of the night assaulting random people.

As I suspected, you have no clue what you are talking about: which definition are you using, defined by who?
This is the definition that the general media and public education gives you since you are a child, so that you can freely associate anarchy with chaos, killing, fraud and whatever.

The modern definition of anarchy upon the vast majority of "modern" (i.e.: of the last decades) anarchist agree upon is the one defined by Murray Rothbard in his writings, generally regarded as "anarco capitalism".
Of course anarchy has nothing to do with what you state, anarchy does not means absence of rules, but absence of a central power that can enforce arbitrary rules to the society. A part for a very small minority of anarchist (the ones defined something like "anarco comunist"), anarchist respect private property, and as such the integrity of a person (his body).
Actually you can derive a whole set of sound rules from this only principle (contrary to the democracy).

A difference with the usual system (the one we live in), that's not difficult to accept because it's quite natural, so you just need force to defend yourself from aggressions, and not for enforce the rules, as in our society.

Quote
Free market = only a few economic rules, mostly just preventing fraud and colletting some taxes, the state still exists and acts on other things such as welfare, education, social disorder, etc.
If there is a super entity (i.e.: the state) that can unilaterally decide the rules, it's not a free market: for example, what about patents and copyright?
117  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Check out my awesome site for generating secure OfflineAddress.com on: February 20, 2014, 10:42:07 PM
I understand your concern, but this is how "standards" works on the Internet: someone propose one (BIP38), some others implement it (for example Mycelium, that is great), and it becomes used by many users.

And voilà, we have walked the path from a simple proposition to wide usage, now it becomes a standard Smiley

Paper wallet without encryption are very insecure, so I strongly advise against its use.
118  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2014-02-19] The First US Bitcoin ATM Arrives in New Mexico on: February 20, 2014, 07:11:59 AM
All of them are ATMs. Some uni-directional, some bi-directional.
Yes: the unidirectional ones (the first ones) allow you to withdraw cash, while the bidirectional ones allows you also to insert cash.
What they have in common is that you can withdraw money from both.
Quote
The only reason this is an issue is because some are falling for the marketing spin that one of the device manufactures is putting on the definition. They want to differentiate themselves by trying to play down the importance of the other products on the market and single themselves out as the only manufacturer who is making "True ATMs". This is all marketing spin BS.
Actually, what I find misleading and marketing BS is the Lamassu BVM (Bitcoin Vending Machine Smiley) that market itself like an ATM where it is not.

Quote
From that wikipedia page:
Quote
Using an ATM, customers can access their bank accounts in order to make cash withdrawals [...]
With the lamassu machine you can't make cash withdrawal, so it's not an ATM.

Find me another ATM where you can't withdraw cash!
119  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2014-02-19] The First US Bitcoin ATM Arrives in New Mexico on: February 19, 2014, 09:29:27 PM
ATM aren't just money or fiat dispensers anymore, they're more multifunction.
Yes, most of them are multifunctional, but they all have at least one thing in common: you can draw money.

Without that property, they are not ATMs.
120  Economy / Economics / Re: My bank account's got robbed by European Commission. Over 700k is lost. on: February 19, 2014, 09:24:33 PM
This is not just free market, this is anarchy.
It's a different beast.
So, what are the differences?
