Yeah that's a real weakness, I consult and my rates are very reasonable in BTC adam@mindtomatter.orgBefore starting the shows, I'd been volunteering my time as "community liason" at one of the Kickstarters I backed... Good lord do people have unrealistic assumptions, it can turn even a successful project into one everybody involved (creator included) just f'ing hate, and wish they'd never seen. My rates are cheap because it hurts my brain to see good people failing because they just can't get away from their own limited point of view.

Yolo! Some feedbacks: The intro where you present everyone, the purpose of the podcast and everything was kinda long. Especially for those who listened to the other podcasts. Between the first and second part, there was a long musical part. If I listen to a podcast, it's for hearing people talk. Really enjoyed the ID scheme! BitcoinATM: The story might be much more interesting... the other cofounder is the SilverVigilante; he already works with Jeff Berwick on other projects. I urged him to speak up, but still nothing. MtGox: This is why I love the free market. Everyone's bitching about MtGox, but the fact is that they provide a service and (at least for now) they are better than everyone else. They've also remained unhacked for a surprisingly long period of time. Especially considering they are probably the prime target. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2ku1A5Ox8UI also wonder why nobody mentioned the elephant in the room... it seems the contract is incredibly one-sided to benefit Coinlab. Why the hell did Mark signed this in the first place? Anyhow, keep up the good work!

There was a long musical part, and I put it in as a test to see how people liked it. I've been using them for transitions and thought it might be good to have a longer break since this was a more host-intensive show. Thanks for the feedback on it, as you can tell this is all an experiment The long intro - It's about 2 and a half minutes - I thought adding music under it might help a little, and it does change every episode - kind of an update about where the show is before it. I figure it's easy to skip on most podcast players chunks of 30s, but I am looking to make it shorter, or to spread out the information a little more. We actually did talk about the elephant in the room, it wasn't really a one-sided contract. It may seem that way, but signing the contract prevented the creation of probably their most connected US challenger to date. The partnership means that Gox basically keeps their monopoly on market trading, rather than losing their US customers when Coinlab's exchange is much easier to get money into, and comply with relevent tax law. Turning a competitor into a subsidiary partner is a good move by Gox - They just failed to deliver for whatever reason.

Enjoyed the show. A comment about the donations issue. I expect that many people like me will think "I'd like to donate. But I don't want to do it every week" so that's why people are donating in the .1-1BTC range rather than the 0.01 x hundreds of people version you were hoping for. Like, for myself, I donated 0.1 thinking of it as ~$15 USD and thinking "that's my contribution for the next month or two, let's see how this goes". And then if I think you're providing me a really valuable service and I enjoy the show, I can do the same again later. Of course, once automated payment systems are up and running, that would be a great option for micropayments Comment on the content: the ID-tied-to-BTC-address concept is excellent. There seems to be a connection with the Namecoin concept and what Julian Assange was saying to Eric Schmidt in that transcript. Your concerns about tying monetary value to speech are valid, and I am worried about that too, but I believe/hope they will be addressed by the free market. That is to say, just as now people can interact via facebook if they want to, or on an open forum with anonymous login if they want to, so in the future fora will form based on BTC identities for those who see value in that (avoidance of spam and fraud or anything else), and other fora will form with other user groups in mind. There is no need to try and regulate anything away. At a deeper level, I think the "ID in BTC" concept, like the "smart property" concept has great philosophical significance for the way society develops from here. I have an idea in my mind based around reification, Platonic ideals and entropy but that's for another time...

Yes I do remember you talking about the Quid pro quo, but in my opinion this really isn't of the same magnitude. MtGox was removing only one (theoretical) competitor, at the cost of giving away much. This move was risking to alienate part of their customers; many people really didn't like the idea of MtGox simply transferring private information like this. (Which was expressed quite clearly on the forum.) I, for one, really didn't like the move to US soil. Gox also pretty much has a de facto monopoly on market trading anyway. People buy BTCs from different exchanges, but if they want to trade, they mostly just send their BTCs to Gox. I don't really see any reason why buyers at Coinlab would have stayed at CoinLab. The contract mentioned that Gox was supposed to help CoinLab with the liquidity and know-how. This, alone, is a huge chunk! We've seen again and again exchanges appearing with what you call the amateurs hour. What were they lacking? For the most part, liquidity and know-how. CoinLab also gained the prestige that comes with associating with the oldest and most successful Bitcoin exchange. From a startup which initial plan was to GPU mine on gamers computers... let's just say it was a more than necessary PR boost. And this is all assuming that CoinLab indeed had some important footholds in the banking world that would prevent banks from arbitrarily closing their account. Oh and CoinLab, by the contract, is also prohibited from entering in competition with MtGox for only 2 years. It's probable that Mark saw things I didn't see, but that deal really looks one-sided to me. Edit: Related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yNWUcmfJoQ

That's a good point about the frequency issue. Without counting, .10 donations are probably the single largest number, with .01 and .02 being close seconds. Maybe that should be the ask - .1 per month (8 shows) - I'm really curious to see how the donation thing develops - looks very promising. I really think the Bitcoin ID concept is a huge deal, I've started helping organize the open source project along with Joe - We're going to use the Let's Talk Bitcoin! forum as a proof-of-concept and then roll it into a few very important projects within the bitcoin decision-making world. If you know any User Interface/User Experience guys please send them my way. Enjoyed the show. A comment about the donations issue. I expect that many people like me will think "I'd like to donate.

I have an idea in my mind based around reification, Platonic ideals and entropy but that's for another time... Enjoying the shows Adam. I tend to agree with "waxing". I donated .1 as a "subscription" of sorts. I listen to maybe 5 - 10 podcasts fairly regularly and donating $15X(5-10) a month is just too steep for me (and probably many of us). But, I guess it is supply and demand. Also, we will have to see where BTC goes to and stabilizes at ( a long ways away...) I think we all appreciate the show and what is more alarming to me is that so few people donate at all. As you said on the show it would be nice to see more .01 donations and less larger donations, as the few shouldn't carry the many. Then again, it is a "free" show, so we'll have to see where things settle down to. If you have over a 1000 listeners, donations and supporting the show shouldn't be a problem. Looking forward to listening to #4. Thx again, IAS
