I can help with hosting and know a few graphic designers. I haven't gotten around to opening up a skype account yet and I still spend most of the day at my "day job" but I respond to PMs and emails pretty quickly most of the time.

I chose 75% even though it's closer to 95%. I believe bitcoins will keep growing in value and would like to save more but, unfortunately, I don't have the capital necessary to continuously be reinvesting my own money into a Bitcoin only business. In other words, revenue goes right back in.

What I meant is that is there a risk that a perceived ease of creating free money limit bitcoins acceptability as a main stream currency. Does the ease with which current paper money is printed limit its acceptability? |

I think this is a good idea, in general, but the BBB shouldn't be used as a model. The Better Business Bureau is a C Corporation which charges dues in order for any business to join and members seem to get better evaluations than non-(due paying)members. IMO, setting any sort of "criteria" invites the suggestion of paying dues, leading to a conflict of interest.
Maybe existing businesses could "vouch" for new ones.
Yeah, I agree. I would want this to be more like an open source project. Possibly the criteria could be proposed and voted on by existing members. You'd have to guard against members using their position to limit competition. If squarewear.biz were part of this organization and another t-shirt company wanted to gain membership, I'd have incentive to vote against them entering (although I wouldn't). I'm sure a system of checks and balances can be put into use. I'm at my "day job" right now but I'll give it some thought. |

I think the main point to take away from this is that he considers his bitcoins "profit."
What is wrong with profiting from his comic strips? How could that possibly cause exploitation? What is wrong with profit? Is he some type of communist? Why would he open the black hole in the first place? Your interpretation of edd's comment is very different from mine. I read it as, "He is thinking of his bitcoins as real money, not pretend internet money. That means there is a good chance he will accept them in trade in the future." SunAvatar got my point. (I'm also hoping he'll spend them on some coffee so I can profit, as well.) |
