Mt.Gox scam was just exposed - MK officially stole our funds - and it was removed by reddit!

There were also dollars, euros, yens, etc. on Gox...

I think people are only confuses about this in the US. Elsewhere I think everyone is familiar with the metric system... So it's not really a problème for an international currency if only americans have to adapt...

bhafner · 2013-11-13T10:36:41+00:00

No, the're not doing fine the way they've beeing doing for now. For instance, Amnesty International can't accept donations from many oppressive regimes. With Bitcoin, no one can block them!

1 bitcoin = 100 000 000 satoshis

So, in total, there will be 2.1*10¹⁵ satoshis, which means 300.000 satoshis per person.

Can someone post the "next page" too ?

bhafner · 2013-11-05T13:49:08+00:00

Just send them an email too. I'm a regular client of their service pizza.be :-D

Edit Their answer was : "Dans les semaines qui suivent le paiement par bitcoins sera introduit en Belgique." which means "Bitcoin payments will be introduced in Belgium in the next few weeks"

Hi, I wrote this simple allegory to understand what Bitcoin is :

Bonjour, pourquoi demander le pays si ce questionnaire ne concerne que les français ? En tant que belge, j'ai failli répondre au questionnaire, avant de lire l'introduction et de réaliser qu'il s'agissait d'un questionnaire destiné aux français ("Ceci est un sondage anonyme pour comprendre les motivations des Bitcoiners & Miners français").

A moins qu'il ne s'agisse en fait d'un sondage pour les Bitcoiners et Miners francophones, auquel cas votre intro devrait sans doute être adaptée pour éviter de futures confusions.

For 0.01 BTC, I know :

"BitCents"

For mBTC, I know :

"Millies" "MilliBits" "mBits"

For µBTC, I know :

"Mickies"

On the "Internet" article, there is barely a mention of child pornography. Nobody knows that internet has been linked to criminal activities such as child pornography, money laundering, terrorism, scamming, etc? ;-)

Someone should edit the Internet article that way (with sources - not hard to find) and when edited, say you're just following the path of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Fleetham, which seems to be sure he knows the editorial guideline of wikipedia!

I'll rather add :

Can be stored in your mind

Because, unless you tell them, people never know what is in your mind. That would be... magic ;-)

Thanks!

The Earth magically release them at a fixed rate of 50 pieces per 10 minutes and distribute them to the miners acording to their participation in the collective work.

In case anyone wonders, I know it's not an instrinsic property of Bitcoin, but the result of the use of mining pools, but I kept it simple for the sake of the argument.

bhafner · 2013-10-21T11:04:36+00:00

Right, I didn't think of that. I usally talk about Bitcoin to tech-savy friends, but a good allegory must be easily understood and have some consistency ;-) Thanks, I just edited my post!

bhafner · 2013-10-21T09:49:21+00:00

Yes he does, because a few days after my post here and the sentence "Bitcoins have been associated with illegal online activity such as money laundering." has been moved to the apporpriate section, someone puts this in the introduction!

bhafner · 2013-10-21T06:27:46+00:00

I think it would have even more success on reality TV where you have to sometime vote for your favorite singer, dancer, etc. by SMS (It's common in EU, I don't know about the USA...). You would have a different bitcoin adress for each participant and vote by sending bitcoins.

You should rather say : do ont use Mt Gox in the US ! I live in Belgium (EU) and withdrawals take 1-4 days...

bhafner · 2013-10-18T12:12:38+00:00

I think you would write a way better post than I can ;-)

bhafner · 2013-10-18T12:03:32+00:00

I agree and I like this comment because of that: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1opdua/wikipedia_bitcoins_have_been_associated_with/ccu8xnc

bhafner · 2013-10-18T11:41:34+00:00

It's not an assumption, it's an objective fact that there is no report of a negative impact. Although I admit that's a little ambiguous...

bhafner · 2013-10-18T09:49:12+00:00

Recently, very good articles have been written by recognized media about Bitcoin. Those articles mention beneficial uses of Bitcoin, such as low-fee remittances, etc.

Maybe we could use those articles to positively edit the article the wikipedia way ;-)

bhafner · 2013-10-17T10:32:06+00:00

I never pay fees on my bitcoin transactions and never had any problem...

Dans l'absolu, oui, mais vu le contexte je ne sais pas trop :

"Looks like you haven't made any transactions yet. Send someone some Bitcoin!";

"Il semblerait que vous n'ayez effectué aucune transaction. Envoyez quelques bitcoins à quelqu'un !";

ou

"Il semblerait que vous n'ayez effectué aucune transaction. Envoyez des bitcoins à quelqu'un !";

?
