glad you made it this time.

I nominate
The DarkWallet Project
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ouo7Q6Cf_yc#t

DarkWallet will store a user’s Bitcoins and interact with the Bitcoin network, allowing the owner to spend and receive the currency. But unlike other wallets, DarkWallet is designed specifically to preserve and even enhance the properties of Bitcoin that make it a potentially anonymous, tough-to-trace coin of the Internet underground.

“If Bitcoin represents anything to us, it’s the ability to forbid the government,”

Let a few mouths foam at the nomination but it is an interesting concept back to our roots in a sense

Check. How could I forget about that.

Any more Nominations?

[QuestionAuthority]

I nominate Icominer. Unity plugin developer Icoplay has come up with a new way for developers to monetize free apps on the App Store while avoiding in-app purchases, through the use of Bitcoin mining.

Isn't this quite pointless with the current difficulty?  Maybe not if they mine scrypt coins, but even then, it is probably much more waste of energy than if the users donated directly a fraction of their energy costs.

From their website:

"3) Will I be a millionaire?
No. You won’t earn thousands of Bitcoins by doing this, but with their value fluctuating so wildly we can’t guess what you’ll earn. This is an experiment, a deliberate step out of the comfortable practices of F2P. Maybe this isn’t the best solution, but we’ll only ever find a better model by experimenting. We may be the first to do distributed monetisation, but we won’t be the last. Our main goal is to make innovative and productive software that people want to use – if there are problems, we really really want to solve them."

But think about this a moment: Every cell phone in the world running the app in the background relaying transactions. For free you get increased network strength from people that aren't even connected to or care about Bitcoin, you get publicity because people will need to read about Bitcoin to decide whether or not they want to opt to allow the program to run and a new group of developers looking into Bitcoin and seeing the value in having some. I think it's a win if it gets off the ground.

But does each cellphone really relay transactions? I thought it was just doing hashes.

I'm not sure how it will work. It's still in development. The advertisement value alone is priceless. If you download an app you can pay for it with Bitcoins without knowing what Bitcoins are. Bitcoins? How do they work? Maybe I should get some?

See my point.

GPU powered bitcoin miner - mining on a phone - come on...   

I already have a bad conscience because I let inputs.io on the list though I knew better:

What about this?

hmm... this is an online wallet with private keys on the server? Is there discussion about it's safety somewhere?
