Re: Crowdfund an LTBcoin Project

What a clever idea @deweller

If I have any projects in the near future I'll certainly look at this!

Re: What exchanges would you like to see LTBcoin listed on?

Cryptsy would be awesome.

Re: 728x90 Leaderboard Advertisement

@adam I actually don't have anything yet, but it looks like I need to have a few banners made.

Any updates on this @adam

Also to everyone else this offer is still open. I am modifying the original post to reflect the new price of 1k per week :)

Re: The issue with tipping

@adam

@knircky

@deweller Bitcoin and Counterparty are expensive for tipping small amounts. It is a known issue. I'm pretty sure you would pay the fee if you sent from coinbase to a tipping address as well.

I'll throw this out there. Would you use an off-chain web-wallet if there was one for LTBcoin?

Say the fees were much smaller than $0.15 and off-chain tipping transactions in the LTB network were instantaneous.

Would this be of interest?

Nope, coinbase transactions are free entirely. One of the reason why its my wallet of choice anytime i sent btc. they pay the miners fee and they advertise this.

i don't really want another wallet. tipping is not quite that important to me that i would make a wallet for it, especially if its just cheaper.

i think the solution is actully to do this off chain via ltb directly. Let me have an account inside ltb and let me tip this way for free.

Is this what you were proposing?

That is one proposal yes, let me ask for your opinion about the other.

We have built an automatic bitcoin or asset sending system that lets you put in either usernames or bitcoin addresses, and the amount to send to each, and it gives you a single address to send the bitcoin miner fee(and asset if you are sending an asset). Our system pays about 1/4th the standard bitcoin fees and takes at most 10 blocks to get in at those reduced fees.

The proposed system would be that each comment, forum post, or piece of content would have a "tip" button on it. When you click the little version, it would pop up your standard tip amount (each user would define this), whether its in Bitcoin, LTBCOIN or something else. You would be able to modify the number with either a +/- or just type in the amount manually. You can click a Cancel or Confirm button, if you confirm it makes an entry in a distribution noting you want to send that value from you to the person you want to tip.

At the end of the day or the week you "Settle up" and are given a total amount as well as a reckoning of what everyone is going to receive. You've spent the week programming the recipients and amounts, You pay the total amount and the system handles the sending for you.

This is all on-blockchain, but again it's quite cheap and the experiance of tipping no longer requires you to do anything but click the button. We can even prevent people from spending tokens they don't have by asking them to attach an address to their account by showing them a unique "Prove I am this user" address, sending a tiny amount to it and thus associating that sending address as being under my users control.

Love the idea of having a button that reconciles each week. That would reduce the fees and seems like a bloody easy way for this to go for everyone.

Re: BTC Consumption

@jshow5555

@coinfire

@jshow5555 Big % of my time too.

What sort of things are you doing with that time? Looking up prices? Researching and reading? The news? Forums? All of the above?

All of the above, not in that order though - looking at prices takes the least time for me.

Yeah, some people mistakenly (I think) obsess over the price for bitcoin.

I would rather think about the things people are doing with it, buying and selling services and products personally :)

Re: LTB emails coming in as spam on Gmail

Also just wanted to give an update @cryptonaut and let you know that a friend of mine signed up using Gmail and his email did not go to spam so it appears this might be fully resolved.

Re: LTB Conference/Summit/Expo

@adam Yes, we've been talking since the beginning of the year about doing one in Iceland spring 2015, but with so many conferences all the time we're now thinking it might be better (we = me and my wife Krystal) to do something virtual and focus on the content rather than the venue, sell virtual conference tickets (cheaper in LTBCOIN) etc.

I love conferences but man do I hate to travel.

If this changes be sure to let us know. I would certainly attend!

Re: BTC Consumption

@robmitchell Forget Bitcoin, just this LTB board is suddenly taking up a too much of my day! I was saying to myself I wanted to simplify my life because I was just too busy. And then I got sucked into bitcoin. I don't even want to guess how much time is related to Bitcoin and related projects.

Aside from being hands-on with bitcoin-related projects and daily reading (and multitasking with Bitcoin podcasts), I have what I consider an odd practice. I perform daily Google image searches for the word Bitcoin, limited to the previous 24 hours. I started the very obsessive practice to find my own creative commons Bitcoin images being used (I then use examples of published images for marketing purposes). But aside from that purpose, it's interesting to see the new images associated with Bitcoin each day.

hahahaha Between keeping up on the news for reporting and being active here because this is such a great community I've found even more of my time gone hahahaha.

I love the idea of trying to find all of the CC images for Bitcoin (what a great idea)! Are you going to document them all in one place at some point?!? I think that could be a really cool and valuable project for others.

I'd be willing to help you get such a thing going even. Let me know!

Getting the next one going with a bid of 1k for Coin Fire. Hope to see some more bids coming in!
