Their website is currently down.

loads fine for me

Could be another DDoS then. I think I read they were having a problem with that this month.

Re: Bitcoin in the 3rd world

In a more anarchist society this issue would have been resolved within weeks. One possible scenario: Since the parents care passionately about this issue, they all would have chipped in and purchased the street and run it as a cooperative where they can set their own rules.

Wow. I wonder if I can get enough people to chip in and buy Ohio. Of course, they're probably not selling, so we'd have to vote in people who would allow it first. Then we might even be able to skip the buying it part and get those people to do what we wanted in the first place. Too bad it never works that way.

Of course, there's still one thing that I like you to do, put your public domain declaration in COPYING in your source code. You could use something like http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/ to make sure that it is somewhat foolproof than your public domain declaration on the forum.

I like it. It's been added to the newly attached zip.

Good grief. I can't live and breathe this stuff like the rest of you can. So here's the code for the most recent release. I've got a Mt. Gox enabled version mostly done now and will post it once I finish and get rid of some useless, confusing (and commented out) stuff. As far as the code goes, the Mt. Gox stuff won't significantly affect anything you're seeing in this version of the source. The code is pretty basic and horribly uncommented, but the concept is there. It would be nice if someone would like to look at the address recognition stuff and come up with something more consistent. I'm thinking of using pure regex and not messing with the validation through the RPC so it will work better with Mt.Gox. If the address is invalid, it will fail during send. The code is public domain / free as in do whatever you want with it and do or don't give me credit. I appreciate and will include any good fixes and submissions, or you can spin off your own version because you're still pissed at me.

I would buy every bitcoin in existence and then loan them to the government at interest to use as currency...

Well, for starters a lot of new coins are currently being generated on GPU hardware at a better power consumption rate than his measly 2000 khash/s machine, which wasn't all that far off the going rate for bitcoins to begin with. I saw a figure once that it costs something like 4.5 cents to create a US penny.

We use plastic notes here.  Tongue

They'll be cabon nanofiber notes in 200 years. Or bitcoins. Either way your plastic will be worthless. What were we talking about?

Why print something when digital is the way to go?

I have a book sitting on my bookshelf that is 200 years old. Do you think you will still be able to read your chosen digital format in 200 years?

Do you have any 200-year-old bank notes? If you do, would they still be honored? I can't even keep current bills in my wallet for long. If you want long term storage, convert to something you feel is likely to retain value (nothing is guaranteed). This is currency, not artifacts or knowledge. It's supposed to be used.

In the case of some war involving EMP, many smaller electronics should survive. Even so, if you're worried about that, you should stock up on things like food, medical supplies, and beer. That's what what people will want when the lights go out.

This is quite a good idea.   Some kind of a mind trick, in some way.

Also, instead of suggesting the installation of the software, one could point to mybitcoin.com.


Or even Mt.Gox.

This is a great idea. No one is going to ignore a decent size donation.

Another crazy thought. You could set up a dead man's switch to sell them all off at a decent rate for LR and exchange that for a check in the mail to your beneficiary. Sure, a lot could go wrong, but it's easier for them.

This has been on my mind too. I like your solution. You could even have the proxy send to multiple receive addresses in the same wallet to mix it up some more. The only real problem I see is a compromise / shakedown of the proxy server.

Re: The Illusion of the Infallibility of Gold as Money

The thing with aluminum is it's like the 3rd most abundant element in the earth's crust. It's the process of extracting it that was difficult with older technology. Gold actually has a rarity. That said, I'm not a huge believer in gold, either. But then I don't have any. Of course, I don't have much of anything, dollars included.   Tongue
