Re: We Need a Real Bitcoin Online Store, not "retailers" who just price gouge 15-20%
Don't forget about www.bitcoinworldmarket.com
We don't do Amazon, newegg etc... We have our own vendors and many of our prices are comparable to that which you can find on Amazon or the like. We also have a decent selection of items you can't get on amazon.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Re: Certain Bitcoins worth more than others?
A bitcoin is only worth what someone else will pay for it (or value it).
I'm sure someone would want the very first bitcoin ever mined or maybe even the 3141th bitcoin or the 1337th bitcoin etc. Will they pay 100$ USD? 500$ USD? maybe...
I certainly wouldn't but that doesn't mean someone else won't

Re: [ARTICLE] The Bitcoin Economy Is Collapsing With No Sign of Recovery
When I read that article, I thought to myself, this guy obviously doesn't visit these forums, else he would have heard of Bitcoinworldmarket.com or any of the other dozen or so smaller guys out there selling tangible goods for bitcoin.
Re: Make No Mistake: MyBitcoin is NOT Back Up!
The problem I have is this hurts the entire bitcoin community ... it has far more widespread than just 25,000 coins here.. or a 100,000 or more coins there...
It makes every bitcoin service look bad... even if the other one is steller it appears to be crap in this new light. He setback the entire bitcoin economy by at least a year or more.

Or this is the prime opportunity for someone to step forward and shine as a reputable service. Bitcoin needs some more grownup infrastructure. We need services that are going to make holding bitcoin more secure and easy.
I challenge the people posting here who are outraged about this to start something of your own. I'm sure we can all pool our heads together and come up with good ideas for services that can build the bitcoin community and move it forward.

Re: How long till BitCoins become outlawed?
I would think it would be as successful as trying to ban Euros or any other type of foreign currency. Maybe I'm being naive here but I don't see bitcoin as any different than any other currency except that its decentralized.
Re: THE Place to Shop w/ Bitcoin: BitCoinWorldMarket.com
Any international shipping available? if not, when can we expect to see it? and how much would it cost? I would personally prefer slower and cheaper shipping over overpriced 7-10 day shipping for hundreds of bucks..
I'm ready to place an order! So give us international shipping please!

I'm working on it this very moment! I know there are a lot of you out there waiting for international shipping. I just ask you bare with us a little while longer. We've been working to find the services that will work the best without charging $200 for a 2 Lb package.
This is currently the highest priority to get out the door.
Thanks again for all of your support
Re: THE Place to Shop w/ Bitcoin: BitCoinWorldMarket.com
I just think it's good see more and more business' open up to bitcoin(even with the recent ups and downs). I'm just kicking myself now for not looking for an alternative to Open Cart >.< (if Jonathan designed the site, he'd know what I'm talking about).
Indeed! I had to do some serious modifications to the shopping cart in the framework we use. It was fun though and seems to be working like a champ!
Thank you everyone for your support and well wishes and especially for keeping this thread going. I enjoy hearing feedback on what we've created.

I've purchased a couple coins from CoinedBits. I can tell you several people have purchased stuff from us at www.bitcoinworldmarket.com
I think this is hugely exciting that we are all early adopters of bitcoin and I'm stoked to see all of the economy springing up around it.

Re: HIRING DEVELOPERS FOR EQUITY, YOU WILL GET 40% OF THE COMPANY
Quote from: PLATO
hey there -
I'm so sorry to send you with unsolicited email. I'm in an internet cafe in Amsterdam and someone left their gmail account logged in so I've emailed everyone from their contacts in the hope that someone can help me.
I took some magic mushrooms for the first time last night, lost my mind, and lost everything - my glasses, my cell phone, my purse and my netbook. I'm all alone in the city and need to get back to Dresden by Monday night for my show.
when I called the cell someone answered it - he said he would sell me back the laptop in exchange for 75 euro. the good news - it's truecrypted with a wallet file containing about 400 bitcoins. The bad news - I have no backup.
In addition to the BTC I have personal photos on that laptop that I dont want to lose so I am willing to do basically anything to get it back. I don't have anything other than the clothes I'm wearing, but I found an exchanger a nearby who will sell me euros at 6 euro per bitcoin.
Can you help me? My bitcoin address is 1DZq2LeX54nzbrQWmzogDah7xbzs151XZr. If you can send the whole 12.5 BTC I will be glad to reward you with 25 BTC when I get the laptop back as well as some photos. Even if you can spare just one coin you'll be helping me get home safe.
yours truly

Bitcoins sent! This sounds really legit and im sorry you have fallen on hard times.
Re: Would you use credit cards to fund your trading accounts?
What bitcoin really needs is the ability to easily convert from USD (or other currency) to BTC quickly and without the possibility of chargebacks.
Dwolla is fine and good but it take 5-7 days to get that whole process rolling. If that was reduced down to maybe 2 days MAX then I think there would be more people willing to go through the effort.

You shouldn't go with your mind set to "learn a programming language". A "programming language" is only an expression of the underlying art, The art of computer programming, there even is a multi-volume book bearing that title. Programmers ought to dedicate their career to master this art. I recommend Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. TAOCP is a legend, it's very lengthy but if you have enough time you can't afford to not to read it.
Lisp is a family of programming languages which bear the essence of programming than have been lost in modern computer languages made for the computer pawns, the bottom 99 percentile which dare to call themselves a "programmer". Scheme is probably the most elegant computer language, it is used in the SICP (The book linked above). Learning the proper use of Lisp is a unique enriching experience for the artist programmer, even if you are working with other computer languages. C does exactly what it's supposed to do and does it well. Unfortunately you will probably have to learn to find your way in C++ if you plan to work on the Bitcoin reference implementation.
In advance, the reply to this is your biased point of view accusation is Of course!. Pretending human recommendations or opinions aren't biased is naive. However, people honest with themselves and their fellows will try to make their opinions biased toward what's perceived by the former as good, right or better and I'm no exception.
Regards.

Programming languages should be designed not by piling feature on top of feature, but by removing the weaknesses and restrictions that make additional features appear necessary. Scheme demonstrates that a very small number of rules for forming expressions, with no restrictions on how they are composed, suffice to form a practical and efficient programming language that is flexible enough to support most of the major programming paradigms in use today.

While there are a ton of languages out there, and I agree that a good solid programmer doesn't learn a language they learn how to program, every solid engineer gets their start in one language.
Myself, I lean towards C# and .NET, but I've messed around with PHP and Ruby. For web stuff, you might find PHP to be the most free. Its pretty powerful and quick. Some even say it can do anything, im still waiting for it to make me coffee in the morning but hey.
Find a language that you can get behind, learn the basics and then if you feel like moving on, explore a completely different language. PROLOG will blow you mind!
Re: THE Place to Shop w/ Bitcoin: BitCoinWorldMarket.com
Gah. I managed to accidentally slice the last paragraph off my last post as I was posting. :/
I do want to add, I give these people serious credit for actually making what is, to my knowledge, the first place where I can actually buy dog food and kitchen appliances with my bitcoins. And I've already added them to my long-term bookmarks bar. I'll be peeking from time to time to see if they end up having stuff I want at prices I'm happier with -- and it wouldn't be the first time I've seen a business start out one way, then evolve. Especially because they may be first but probably won't be the last, and competition is good for everyone.

We appreciate your feedback and I am pleased to hear that you will be peeking in from time to time. I'm sure you can understand that the first few steps of a new business can be a bit shaky. We are working hard to roll out new features (like international shipping) and are always looking for a way to lower our costs where we can.
Please keep the feedback coming everyone!

Re: THE Place to Shop w/ Bitcoin: BitCoinWorldMarket.com
... And I run the BTC Economy Plugin, so I can say with certainty that indeed the volume of bitcoin merchandise available just doubled.
Hehe well we hope to quintuple it shortly
Re: THE Place to Shop w/ Bitcoin: BitCoinWorldMarket.com
Actually to be honest our cost is $59.00 for that 16Gb Card
When was the last time a merchant told you their cost? We are not looking to rip anyone off. Please take your Trolling elsewhere.

Why, on earth, would you buy from that supplier when you could buy it retail for a third of the price? You're either being very deceptive or very incompetent, so why should anyone trust you with any money (fake or real)?
Jalum,
Thank you for your feedback. We will be contacting our supplier to ensure that the price is up to date. Once we receive a response from them we will take appropriate action. We are committed to finding the best deals we can and hope to build a relationship of trust.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. I'm sure you can understand we have our hands full with various aspects of the site and occasionally things will get past us.
Re: Best 1-3 line selling pitch for Bitcoin
the one i've heard that i like the best is:
it's like PayPal, but it's free.
it's like PayPal, but it's free.
+1
if anybody is familiar with this basic investment concept. Now my question is what's your stop loss? You're holding BTCs because you either bought them or mined them. Either way, do you set any stop loss?
For me, I'll probably sell all my BTCs if the price goes below $10.
For me, I'll probably sell all my BTCs if the price goes below $10.
I think you have this backwards. You're supposed to buy when it's low, and sell when it's high.
He'll probably buy back when Bitcoins are in good shape at $20.
"Buy high, sell low".
Holey Swiss Cheese Batman, I've been doing it wrong this whole time!
Re: an idea for easy two-factor authentication (Attn: Mt.Gox)
What a brilliant idea. The only flaw I can see here is if the passcard, (which would need to be stored in a db somewhere) were compromised along with user login information.
