[BPS] Bitcoin Project of the Season - Winter 2014 - Winner: BitWasp

[QuestionAuthority]

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?

I guess it wouldn't get any votes then anyway. I think it's great that Bitcoin knowledge will spread to people that aren't already interested. What other project will do that? Even the education project can't do that because you already need to be interested to look at the info. With this you don't have to give two shits about Bitcoin and you'll find out what it is because you will have to read an agreement allowing the dev of the app you want to mine on your phone. Kind of like a mining bot that gets permission from the zombie owners.

OK. You are right, it is not up to me to judge.

Could not find a thread on bitcointalk... please point me to it if you know of one.

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

quite honestly I don't think either of these make sense... at all. Nice idea and all, but not practical.

relaying: just relaying at the mobile station would make much more sense. It's not like phones communicate with one another (yet, but looking at opengarden or similar projects, we might be getting to a point where phones build meshnets, then it might make sense)

hashing: really?!?

[phelix]

The game is on. Vote!

I voted for darkwallet, because I think cryptocurrency doesn't work without (the possibility of) anonymity and darkwallet could be a big step towards more widespread use of the possibilities the blockchain gives us.

I don't know of a thread on it here. I was talking to a guy in a coffee shop in SF about Bitcoin and he told me about it.

Exactly!  Also my favourite, even though I nominated Moneychanger ... didn't think about Dark Wallet at that time.  But since I'm involved (a bit) in Moneychanger anyway, it wouldn't be fair to vote for it.

After 24h KncMiner and DarkWallet have made a head start with both 15 votes.

What Molecular and Domob said and since I nominated Dark Wallet I had to vote for it

I would like to nominate the Bitwasp Project: http://bitmerchant.tk/

For the moment it has the looks of a open source silk road, but they are thinking about branching out and making a truly useful service that could support community group purchasing, fundraising, crowdfunding, etc....

Let alone the importance for privacy in digital cash...

Having Caedes involved in Bitcoin development is just priceless.

Plus the thing is made in Calafou, a dwelling of reality hackers - and endorsed by Enric Duran the "robin bank" promoter of the right of rebellion manifesto

Darkwallet forevah. Its almost too epic to be a single project.

Bitcoin Education Project

Education and quality information is the basis of a sane society !

This is really needed... Some central source of good information, wich could became THE reference.

Good point. FYI Stackexchange has opened a bitcoin section in beta http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/

Plus there is the ever green Bitcoin wiki, there since the beginning https://en.bitcoin.it
