Re: Proposition: Forum Entry Should Cost 1 Bitcoin (about $10)
by

Nobody proposed this. What was suggested was a 1 BTC fee at sign-up and that's it.

Oh, Ok.
I don't think this would help.

There are always people that likes to hear themselves talking. (Don't know if this makes sense in english).
They would spend 1 BTC and than need to write a lot so that it's worthwhile.

IMHO better a very small fee per post.

With the small fee per post, I'd also like to have a button on replies to my own post, to pay of my asking fee to the writer of an answer.
Also, a possibility to pay a higher fee for a post that could than be donated to answers. Makes sense if I have a question and a good answer is worth some BTC for me.

The more I think about it, the more I like this Idea. Only say things that are worth the BTC. And if other think so to, your post will pay off itself.

I think in order to keep users serious we should make it to where their account here is an investment. We can get rid of the newbie board and assume a user that registers and pays for membership considers this community valuable and will return a similar amount of value in return.

Another side benefit of this is that it would pay for forum hosting easily and possibly with some profit on the side for the project.

Thoughts?

With 1 BTC per post, this forum would be dead.

But with a lower fee (like 0.001 or 0.01 BTC) I like this idea.
Also, I would like to have the option to send up to 50% of the fee to the writer of the post that I'll answer to (defaults to 5%).
(Hm, needs the option to answer a specific post -- like quote).

So it would pay of to write good posts that other people think it's worth to answer.

But I would keep the newbie board and would keep it free to post there. With the option for everyone to hide the newbie-board from their view.

Kein Versand, ihr solltet in der Nähe von Braunschweig wohnen, damit sich das lohnt.

Ich dachte an 0.5-1.0 BTC pro Messer. Je nach Messergröße und Anzahl.

Ist das zu teuer, oder wohnt keiner in der Nähe von Braunschweig, der BitCoins hat und geschärfte Messer braucht?

Wenn's nur zu teuer ist, macht ein Gegenangebot. Ist ja hier kein Laden mit Festpreisen Wink

Die Messer kommen von euch, die Schärfe von mir  Wink

In anderen Worten ich schärfe Messer gegen BTC.
Kein Wellenschliff (dafür fehlt mir noch die Ausrüstung).
Kein Versand, ihr solltet in der Nähe von Braunschweig wohnen, damit sich das lohnt.

Ich dachte an 0.5-1.0 BTC pro Messer. Je nach Messergröße und Anzahl.

Bei Interesse PM an mich.


Edith hat mir noch verraten, daß der Preis pro Messer gelten sollte...

Re: POLL: What name would you give to the smallest unit of bitcoin (0.00000001)?

0.01 µBTC:  Microcent  or Microbitcent

or my favorit: 10 nBTC:  Nanogroschen  (speak it Nanogroshn)

For english speaking people the latter one would be somewhat like a Nanodime but that's not that good because dime comes from disme = 1/10.

That would be two and a half hour to spend here. To late for today...

Hm, seems my arguments weren't good enough or there was no admin available.
Anyway. I'll try again tomorrow. That would be enough for the four hour limit, so never mind I've asked Smiley

Re: Am I missing something, or is ledger growth going to rapidly become an issue?
by
Harry
on 20/06/2011, 19:59:20 UTC
The transaction ledger grows each day, and because it's permanent, eventually it will get very computationally expensive to move a single coin because it has a huge transaction history built up on it.

Am I missing something here? To me it seems that over time the global block chain will grow in size to the point where it consumes all computing resources thrown at it. Home PC's can't be expected to store multi-gigabyte (or terabyte) block chains just to perform transactions.

As far as I understand this, the complete block chain is only needed to be downloaded once if you start a BitCoin client. If you want to make a transaction, you only put this transaction request (size depends only on the contents of your transaction) in the system. The next block that is computed for the block chain will (hopefully) include your transaction. This is the first affirmation of your transaction. If six further blocks are created without any problems regarding your transaction, it is believed as valid.
To compute a new block, only the last created block is needed. The hash of the last block goes into the new one - confirming the last one.
The hole block chain is only needed to verify that the hole block chain is valid.

Right now, each new block is about 10 MB in size. That is every ten minutes.
Right now I have nearly 500 MB data for 132129 blocks - thats nearly 4 KB each. When there where no transactions, the blocks had a size of 216 Bytes.
So maybe you are right, if there are more transactions, the block size will increase. Resulting in maybe a few hundred MB per block in a few months if BitCoins grow further and is maybe accepted by Amazon Cheesy
With an average of 144 blocks a day that would be more than 50 GB a day if the block size reaches 350 MB.
Hm, so maybe I should start to look for a faster internet connection.

That's what I understand this far.
Corrections welcome Wink

Edit: Many people posting here have already met the 5 posts and 4 hour requirements. If you see "Jr. Member" by your name, you don't need to post here.

So this is four hours since registering, four hours since the fifth post or four hours total time logged in?
Ok, just read the answer. That would be two and a half hour to spend here. To late for today...

So I request to get on the whitelist because I'd like to post on topic to the thread in forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=4667.0
There I just want to write whom I hope to convince in using BitCoins  Cheesy

Thanks,

Re: POLL: What name would you give to the smallest unit of bitcoin (0.00000001)?
by

Cent.

And shift the decimal point six places so that it matches regular currencies. No regular currency is divisible to eight places. We talk about thousands or millions or billions of dollars or francs or euros, not megadollars or petafrancs. Millibits or microbits might work for geeks but not for average people.

The problem here is: You cannot produce more Bitcoins to cause inflation if they deflate to much (I guess thats what is done with 'regular' money).
What would you do if in a couple of years 1 BTC is worth $5000? You would have to pay $50 for your Coffee because there is no smaller value.

Hi,

so this is me  Smiley
I'm still trying to find out, how bitcoins work - not the use of them but the technical details without reading the source or puzzling the details from the protocol specification in the wiki.
Any hints for further reading? (If not, I will take the source if I find the time Smiley )
