Project AVC - AntiVirusCoin (self.Bitcoin) submitted an hour ago by jake-shake I'm sure someone will beat me to the punch, but here's my project. Imagine using the Bitcoin blockchain to search for and destroy computer viruses and such. Imagine the wallet doubles as your anti-virus software. Imagine a bank that bank that owns and operates it's own armed guard service. Living, breathing, evolving security built right into your wallet. Anonymity combined with active security on an unparalleled level, enterprise won't know what hit them. Talk about practical. This is the future of crypto. I'll see you all on the other side. Name suggestions welcome.

$100,000 bounty for software platform that can replace the Bitcoin Foundation (self.Bitcoin) submitted 8 hours ago * by anarchystar Hi Everyone, My name is Olivier Janssens, early adopter and Bitcoin millionaire. The Bitcoin foundation has had its role in the last 2 years. Unfortunately, it is internally recreating the same archaic political system that fails to work for society. Bitcoin is the currency of the internet generation. It puts the power back into the hands of the people. You cannot expect its main representative organisation to be exactly the opposite: A non-transparent, political and secretive elite. We have been trying to push the BF for transparency and clear communication for years, without result. Meanwhile they started creating even more political structures inside, such as committees, which can only be accessed by knowing the right people. At the bitcoin 2014 conference, organised by this same organisation, I expected to see full internet participation + live streaming of their events. Especially of the BF member meeting, where they are supposed to get input from their members and disclose what they have been up to. Instead, the board decided that the event is not to be recorded or broadcasted. We have also no idea or say on how our money is spent. Half of their board gets elected by industry members (a group of about 100 companies), and recently lead to another extremely controversial election of Brock Pierce, which has a history of being connected to cases involving fraud and pedophilia. This needs to stop. We as an internet community, don’t need public figures to decide what’s good for us. We need to stop politicking and start focussing on the projects directly. For example, we need a project to fund the core development of bitcoin, and put our money straight to that. We need a project to have lobbyists in Washington, to fight the anti-bitcoin lobbyists from Mastercard, and to prevent the government from destroying the currency. Basically, we don’t need another intermediary. We can do this ourselves. Therefor, I want to announce today that I am organising a contest and giving $100k USD in BTC, to the group that can come up with the best platform to make this happen. I am thinking of a system where prominent people can voice their opinion, where people can propose projects, and where the core devs can actively show their roadmap with detailed features + costs, and where we can vote on the features being implemented by sending bitcoins towards the feature of our choice. This will allow the core dev team to expand by being able to add/pay more devs for feature requests which are fully funded. Maybe we can even evolve to a system later where anyone can work on a feature, which, when programmed properly (approved by the core team), will receive the bounty. The same applies to lobbyists, we just send bitcoins towards the one that we consider the most competent for the job. This will allow Bitcoin to grow and expand at a rate it deserves, a rate that a political organisation such as the foundation can never accomplish. Let’s liberate bitcoin. Olivier Rules of the contest: Anyone can participate Software will be open sourced I will cover the initial hosting costs, until it can be self funded and created as a DAO Reddit community can help by voting on the platform submissions they like the most Ultimately I will decide who wins, but I will take all votes and feedback into account Deadline for submissions is 1 month from now: 17 june 2014 at 12:00 UTC [–]EnglishBulldog 18 points 7 hours ago* A DAO that runs on the btc blockchain is worth more than 100k, immensely more. If this comes to fruition, then thank you, from the bottom of my heart. If you truly make this open source, then you are not only buying a new DAO that can represent a bitcoin majority, you've also created a very valuable framework that can be applied to many different areas of life.

[–]obvious__throwaway_ 9 points 6 hours ago sigh. Please don't get me started on the Bitcoin Foundation. The amount of bullshit and arrogance expressed this Thursday (at the non-recorded part of Bitcoin2014) was unbelievable. You know what we did as a 'exercise' to start the day? Encircle sequential numbers on a piece of paper filled with random numbers. And yes, that's as bad and pointless it sounds. Was it used to explain proof-of-work? No. What was it for then? I STILL DON'T loving KNOW. And of course (!) more pointless games including "opportunities vs threats", "write down your favourite organisation you've been part of", etc. And good gracious, the terminology used. My Bullshit Bingo card was full after one hour, I think. "Leadership", "maximizing profits", "turn-key membership platform (to streamline management??)", "disrupting market forces", "high technology penetration". What the hell, really. I did like the organisation of the public event at Friday and Saturday, although I found it really wasteful. Is it really necessary to distribute plastic bottles with maybe 50 mL of juice in them? Or to distribute bottled water, instead of encouraging reuse of a cup or glass? Or to package two types of food thus encouraging trash? (Maybe I'm just being an rear end in a top hat about it.) tl;dr: lovely event, would go again. B+.

The Secret To Bitcoin's Success Might Be Not Telling People They're Using Bitcoin [...] “We’re really trying to make using digital money accessible to mainstream users,” said Circle’s Jeremy Allaire in a video of how his service works. Circle — which will let users buy Bitcoin with a credit card (!), debit card or bank account — is going head to head with Coinbase, while Bitreserve — which will only store Bitcoin obtained elsewhere — is competing with Blockchain.info. What they hope will set them apart is their focus on “normal money.” New Circle users instantly get $10 in their account; its .022 BTC-equivalent is grayed-out and de-emphasized below that. By pushing the weird virtual money created by an unknown dude into the background, these companies hope to appeal to mainstream users, truly threatening banks, money transfer services, and financial technology giants like Paypal that charge sometimes exorbitant fees to send money around the world. Of course, to start an account with Circle, you still need a bank account of some type to buy bitcoin unless you already own them. And with Bitreserve, you do need to have Bitcoin to begin with. Bitreserve claims it will actually convert people’s Bitcoin into U.S. dollars, British pounds, euros, renminbi, or yen while it holds them, backed by a real-world currency reserve, protecting them from Bitcoin’s infamous volatility. But Circle does not have a system like that, and I do wonder what its users are going to think when their “$10″ is worth $12 or $8 the following day, depending on how the Bitcoin market is swinging. For Circle’s service to work, the price of Bitcoin is going to need to stabilize in a big way. “Circle doesn’t shield users from bitcoin’s price volatility, meaning that account balances will change if the value of bitcoin changes relative to the dollar,” says a Circle spokesperson. [–]Poryhack 19 points 7 hours ago I think this right here effectively negates the whole article: 'and I do wonder what its users are going to think when their “$10″ is worth $12 or $8 the following day, depending on how the Bitcoin market is swinging.' People are going to be painfully aware that they're using bitcoin for that reason alone. [–]Throwahoymatie 1 point an hour ago Painfully aware? You mean happily aware. How dare the Bitcoin price appreciate! How dare people have extra buying power! Cease these impure thoughts immediately! [–]_nightengale_ 12 points 6 hours ago Not if fiat is held, and you quickly trade into and out of Bitcoin for money transfers. I believe this is going to be Bitreserve.org's model -- it makes a lot of sense. And once enough volume is using Bitcoin for moving money, it will become a more acceptable store of value and prices will increase and stabilize. [–]ba4s 1 point 3 hours ago Your final paragraph is correct as of today, but eventually Bitcoin is likely to become stable, and not experience the volatility of today, then it can be a way to send payment without fearing volatility. [–]unk1911 -1 points 2 hours ago rules if bitcoin club 1st rule: you do not talk about bitcoin 2nd rule: you DO NOT talk about bitcoin

TIL Satoshi's disappearance immediately followed Gavin's correspondence where he mentioned 'going to talk at the CIA' (bitcointalk.org) submitted 6 hours ago by hmsimha [–]samsonx 20 points 5 hours ago This is well known. As soon as Gavin said he was going to the CIA Satoshi disappeared. I don't blame him, who'd want to be mixed up with that bunch of crooks. Is Gavin now a CIA stooge ? [–]dfgs352342342 41 points 6 hours ago More like the CIA talk was Gavin's "job interview".. after he was accepted they nolonger needed to maintain the 'satoshi' persona anymore. [–]corebtc 7 points 4 hours ago* If it is the NSA (plus CIA no doubt), that to me is a buy signal. It means they have won and General Alexander or a rival is ready to assume the Imperial Throne, dissociating themselves from dependence on Congress as a means of funding their operations. There is no point in resisting an omniscient, omnipotent sovereign. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1u89qv/why_the_nsa_revelations_make_me_worried_about_the/cefifmz [–]ElHombreDelQueso 4 points 4 hours ago That's a scary thought.
