I'm sorry guys. I'm really busy with RealLife(tm). I've given credentials for the escrow mybitcoin.com to eMansipater so he can manage the bounty or, eventually, give access to other trusted parties.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

I ran out of bitcoins, but I'll definitely send mine either to the escrow account or to DOSBox when I get more.

Then, check that thread: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4599.msg84623#msg84623

topi is working on Finnish: http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin

Skimming through that translation, it is lacking external links section and categories.

Please, don't do that. Wikileaks might have some bad press in USA, but they're seen as heros in the rest of the world (for example, a recent survey shown recently that Julian Assange is the third most reputated "international leader" for Spanish people). Just be neutral, it's not bitcoin's role to endorse or condemn Wikileaks. If bitcoin.org condemns Wikieaks, it'll be EPIC FAIL for bitcoin reputation in many places all over the world.

I haven't worked on this lately and it is in no way useful yet. However, foxmulder has asked me for the code, so I set up the GitHub repo just in case anyone wants to look or contribute:

https://github.com/smola/bitrade

Well-established privacy-hardcore hosting services look like an ideal match too:
http://cb3rob.net/
http://heihachi.net/

Both already provide anonymous payment means (Heihachi accepts Ukash, cb3rob might accept special arrangements).

You better have TrueCrypt (or simiar) installed in the Flash Drive and keep Bitcoin data in an encrypted file/partition.

This claim needs citation. Satoshi cites Wei Dai in its Bitcoin paper, but not Szabo. So the citation is specially needed in order to back that Bitcoin is implementation-of/similar-to/inspired-by Nick Szabo's Bitgold.

That claim needs a source that verifies that Wei Dai's b-money proposal was originally published on Cipherpunks mailing list in 1998. Anyone got a link to a verifiable source that can back this claim?

Yeah, that's just a long-term goal, something in the horizon to motivate the step-by-step improvement of the article

EDIT: Just be brave and edit the main article! I'll be watching and correcting anything that needs Wikipedia experience, so don't be afraid to make mistakes!

Instead of waiting forever until translations are 100% perfect, which makes no sense since we have a lot to improve in the original English article, I'll start rewarding the bounty now for those who have provided a decent (or better) translation. At the moment, that means everyone. If someone makes further improvements, specially after the English article gets better, and the translation turns out to be a really good article... then it would be time to reward some extra bitcoins.

So, these are the rewards:

Actually, the question is not how hard is getting to Good or Featured (yet) but, how would you improve the current article?

I have opened this thread to discuss how to improve it (no bounty there).

There is no bounty here (at the moment)

Wikipedia awards the status of Featured and Good to the best articles it contains. Good articles have the recognition of them being of high quality, while Featured articles are the best ones. If an article is on the Featured category, it gets to appear on Wikipedia's front-page for some time, which means great exposure.

In the English Wikipedia, there are about 11,564 Good articles (0.32%) and about 3,214 Featured ones (0.09%). So improving the Bitcoin article to the point that is is categorized as Good, and eventually as Featured, will mean great exposure for Bitcoin.

So, how would you improve the Bitcoin article? What does it lack? What does need to be extended? After we improve its content, eventually, we could start a bounty on the Wikipedia Reward board so that one or more veteran Wikipedia editors do the last improvements and get the article through the community process of Good (or Featured) article voting and approval.

This is not something that can be done overnight. At the moment, it'd be nice to hear your comments about the current status of the article and its needs. I'll dedicate some time myself to improve the article, and help from anyone is welcome!

Great. So after you review it, you can drop a message in Imperto's Discussion page and ask him to check again. If he has any further objections, he should point you some specific (and reasonable) examples. Otherwise, you (or he) should remove the "{{språkvård||månad=2011-03}}" template and you will be ready to get the bounty.

If you have any doubt about policies or how to interact with other Wikipedia editors, you can ask me, either in this thread or via PM.

Looks good from the point of view of references, links, format, markup, categories, etc. Although, I see it's been marked as needed grammar improvements by the user Imperto. So it might need some work yet.

Could you add some relevant categories to the article? Otherwise, looks pretty good!
