ok so,
what can we do to restore some confidence in bitcoin??
my idea.
we should build a "web of trust"
a place where everyone can place reviews for all the bitcoin stores and services, in an attempt to weed out the good from the bad
your ideas are welcome

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

How about a web of trust webring. People who are trusted can display the banner and they can also click "next site" to go to the next merchant or something.

I'd say this is a good idea, but I don't see how it'd stop the lemmings from giving a stranger 1,000 of BTC and then being surprised when they run off. Can't fix stupid.

Maybe we can fix stupid! we can lunch a site, which has a list of trusted bitcoin site. we advertise this site everywhere. and we tell poeple not to trust anyone else then the sites listed this way any new site would have to be reviewed by the community for security holes and doing a background cheek on the owners. if poeple knew we had such a system in place, they you have more trust. |

A yelp for BTC could work. |

How will that help? I mean, wasn't MyBitcoin quite trusted by a bunch of quite trustworthy people?
|
(I dont always get new reply notifications, pls send a pm when you think it has happened) Wanna gimme some BTC/BCH for any or no reason? 1FmvtS66LFh6ycrXDwKRQTexGJw4UWiqDX  The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar! |

you know trough experience what it's the average satisfactions business and service review. It's independent tool make in power customers to understand what choice they have toward the market/service they chose Yelp it's a great example I am talking as a two business owner |
