Re: Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [3600+ BTC]
I'll give this job to someone when I'm satisfied that they will do it perfectly.
You can satisfy yourself that bidder x will do the job perfectly by choosing an appropriate legal agreement and payment structure. It's impossible to have complete confidence at the RFP stage: that's what lawyers are for.
Re: Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [3600+ BTC]
So is this thread dead?
Seems like it. theymos hasn't provided any feedback in months, as far as I can tell.You will regret hand writing a forum when a proven one exists for years.
I did it once, than the particular programmer who did it, got very upset with me.

I don't think anyone (who is experienced) has seriously suggested doing this. It's not feasible to write a complete product from scratch within the current budget, and it wouldn't make sense to do so for this project even if the budget was higher.
Re: Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [3600+ BTC]
This thread is quite comic after all this time.
It should be clear to anyone that the admin is not willed to proceed in the next future, and i still keep losing time on checking this looking for a feedback.

+1. I agree that it's reasonable to expect feedback.
Why are you offering to work for next to nothing? No professional experience?
Since when is $12-13 an hour "next to nothing"?
Good developers can reasonably charge up to around $160/h freelance. 1 BTC/h would be low for unskilled labour in some places.
Re: Looking for someone to create/modify software for this forum [3600+ BTC]
After looking more closely at the mess that is SMF 2, I'm leaning towards something like http://vanillaforums.org/ as a better option. Architecture is significantly better, for one, which is especially important given the amount of customisation this project would require.
bounty is 5 BTC.
Software for bounty is a great way to get low quality software from inexperienced devs who can't do any better. Not the greatest idea for automated financial software.
I know i would do it for like BTC200 that right now is like $2,000 and that is fair for a site like that
This estimate is out by at least one order of magnitude.
Remember I am going off what a free lancer would get paid and that is a pretty big site, but what would think would be a fair price?
At minimum, a site like the one linked would cost $20k to launch. $80k+ is more likely, depending on requirements.
The other option is some $15/h offshore development company, with which it will cost $10k over 12 months to never launch.

15BTC, why thats $100/hour! 
Yet no references or a link to a portfolio to back it up.
I am actually quite curious what a $100/hour programmer must produce to expect to be paid that kind of money.

That's actually pretty low. Personally, I wouldn't bother for less than $120/h. Overheads are too high for this kind of work to accept anything less. It also tends to work out cheaper to work with someone with a high hourly rate than someone who works for <$100/h. Pay peanuts, get monkeys, etc.
Re: New to bitcoin mining: ButterflyLabs Mini Rig SC - preordered it
BFL is a bit controversial at the moment. Bear in mind that if these machines end up shipping, they'll dramatically increase mining difficulty, so it's difficult to say how much your 1TH/s will earn. See here for more info.
This seems incredibly easy and too good to be true. What am I missing here? The coins are confirming and all is well, but I can't imagine how this site stays profitable giving away $1000+ to a user. Does everyone usually win this much?
Hehe. Definitely not. I ended up -25BTC down first time I played. Never again. Makes me want to set up something similar.
if we are talking about books...

Most of you noobs do not realise that your emotions will be your downfall, just a matter of time.
P.S. I also do like what Kazimir said above.

Interesting book. Thanks for mentioning it.
Re: Is generating a private key using /dev/random under Linux secure?
What you're suggesting should be fine, but for some other options, see this article.
Hey BitCoin Forum, I'm rather new to the community, but have been investing for some time and I'm interested in diversifying into BitCoin's. What is the equivalent to fiat currency investment of indexes or mutual funds. As far as I can tell, GLBSE seems rather popular, do I just send them the BC's (like I do to Vangard) and hope I make money? Thanks again for your time and help.
Aside from the other suggestions, CDs are still giving very good returns, though obviously a little risky. Avoid anything marked PPT if you're worried about risk.
