But please, not Facebook.

Not even "sheeple" are going to want to use a non-transferrable currency with a spending tax of 30% outside of Facebook games.

EDIT: To the OP - if you want to give Trust Cash the benefit of the doubt, they may be an agent of an already licensed entity. But I have to say the whole operation seems odd to me.

So where is this peer reviewed journal or even a good thorough discussion of proof of stake? I think it has been dismissed by the code gods.

Interesting discussions are here:

I'm not sure that the Bitcoin devs (if those are code gods of which you speak) are necessarily dismissive so much as focused on improvements to the existing Bitcoin model.

I guess I understand their paranoia, but given you can instantly convert the Linden Dollars you bought with paysafecard into Bitcoins on Virwox, do they really think having two steps between them and Silk Road instead of one is going to reduce their legal liability by that much?

Re: Chase Bank to offer deposits for MTGox

I don't think you understand how this works.

You are making a cash deposit into MtGox's bank account.

Last time I checked, most reputable banks will not let you "withdraw" money from somebody else's bank account.  That's usually called a "bank robbery".

Maybe you know about some secret I don't?

If they were able to somehow restrict deposits to their account to only cash and not checks, then they're fine. But checks are, of course, cancelable.

Can't personally recommend one, but have you taken a look at Full Towers instead of Mid Towers? I'd assume there'd be more 8 slot options there.

Hi, I haven't been able to try out Bitcoin yet as I have an old PPC Macintosh, so I'm out of luck for now.

Reading through the threads, I got the impression that there is no way to have a message field when sending to bitcoin addresses as opposed to IPs? If that is the case, how is everyone managing transactions through their websites that access the API?
