PS#2. Hum, it's open source ! This is good, for it means anyone can run his own loom server. This makes decentralisation not necessary.
This concept of "federation" has always intrigued me. You have have a "centralized" service, but still be able to connect those services together without every member of the network having to act as a server.
I'm very excited about this service! I first found out about it via your Tor site. A list of stores where these can be used without verifying name, address, etc. would be very useful.
College kids being able to ANONYMOUSLY buy weed with a Visa/MasterCard .... Is that a "killer app" for Bitcoin?
1. Kid buys Bitcoin with Visa online. 2. Delivery Man accepts Bitcoin as payment.
Not to mention...
3. Delivery Man can then keep it in Bitcoin as an investment, or 4. "Cash Out" daily or weekly in a completely separate transaction with a local Cash-for-Bitcoin dealer..., or eventually even 5. Send payments to distant suppliers without transporting cash, Or... 6. Travel abroud and take their Bitcoin with them via Internet... and "cash out" little by little to live on.
Apparently a lot of people are buying joke domains such as wikileeks.co.uk and pointing them to their ip address .
Gotta love the web.
I cant wait till the new .p2p dns system rolls out and it dawns on the control freaks that maybe they shouldnt have poked the bear.
It'll be great. I'd love to watch the tech advisors trying to explain why sites can't be shutdown anymore even though some law was passed saying they can be, lol.
I've been following BitCoin on this forum for a little while now, but I haven't come across anything mentioning a job board. The easiest way to earn bitcoins is to do work in exchange for them. How does one post what job they are willing to do for bitcoins? How does one find someone to hire for work? It seems like a job board would facilitate trade and provide new users an easier way to acquire bitcoins rather than mining. Thoughts?
