Thanks, I asked Bradley again about accepting bitcoin donations - He basically said they do not currently because they were unclear on the legal and tax implications. I noted that FinCEN guidance was pretty clear so long as they don't sell the bitcoins for US Dollars. He said they were currently working on accepting bitcoin donations, and I linked him to coinwidget.com
Hopefully there will be a solution up soon.
Thanks for the donation - We've recieved .82btc from the various donation addresses (I separate it to track where donations come from) for Episode 1 of Lets Talk Bitcoin!
Breakdown: Soundcloud page - Two donations totaling .12btc Email Donation - One donation .10btc "Building Platforms" address - One donation .10btc Main Page widget - One donation - .50btc

Love the show!
It is a bi-weekly event correct? Are there two particular days in the week you are targeting to release (like Tues/Fri or something like that)?

Really enjoyed the podcast! If you really are going to talk about alt-coins next week, could you mention that some Bitcoin users (me, for example) hate Litecoin? I can't stand the pump & dump attitude related to it: Litecoin (...), that's going to be the Facebook to Bitcoin's Myspace We could see the Bitcoin market completely tank and move over to Litecoin in a day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2u3BNiANVAHowever I'm all in favor of alt-coins with new features, such as Namecoin. Disclaimer: I don't own any Namecoin

If you focus on the real struggles that Bitcoin faces, such as exchanges, the uncertainly on how governments will regulate it, and merchant adoption, none of those are solved in the least by using another alt-chain. Any way you want to promote/pump/dump your coin is fine but don't do it by bashing Bitcoin. Outsiders just won't understand. They see all cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin. They don't appreciate the difference between mining algorithms in the least. They just see uncertainty and infighting and reconsider "should I do this cryptocurrency thing"?

Hey guys, Thanks for the comments - I am very skeptical of alt-coins personally for exactly that reason: I think the biggest hurdle in Bitcoins future will be legislative and regulatory, and none of those things can be solved by an alt-coin - I thought Andreas made a really great point about how alt-coins COULD address that problem, but only when there is actually a reason to do it (i.e. they're banned) I was initially curious about the alt-chains but after watching SolidCoin I determined it was better to stick with the original which had been very thoroughly vetted. The Litecoin bump seems more about contingency planning in case of technical issues with BTC (i.e. the encryption is broken and we need to switch to a new scheme) than anything else, and as I mentioned I do not think it will be a technical hurdle but rather legal/regulatory. I do not think this is commonly understood with the people who support litecoin as the likely successor to BTC.

More for my Litecoin hatred https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOCKm4aEIXELitecoin is the second decentralized, peer to peer currency, that was created by the Bitcoin community. No! It wasn't the second, and it's not by the "Bitcoin community"! YARG!

I was the guest on episode 46 of POP CULTIVATION, we spent about an hour talking about Bitcoin and answering his questions. This was a very casual show, there is a small amount of swearing - it is uncut and unedited so if you're into that, have at. It's on the podcast feed or available at my blog.

Nan sorry, I didn't look much into altcoins until recently. I do know however that Namecoin was already there back in 2011 when I started looking into Bitcoin. You could probably find someone to answer your questions in the alternate cryptocurrencies subforum.

Good stuff guys.
Glad you got Bradley Jansen from freebanking.org ... he very aptly spelled out what is going to be the coal face in the regulatory reaction (via the abominable Bank Secrecy Act). Monetary freedom is not going to be a reality until the laws around money and private banking are changed.
Thanks, I'm going to try to cover Bitcoin more than we have--and I welcome more allies against the BSA and FinCEN!
