Bio:

I'm a graphic artist and small-scale inventor/entrepreneur who started spending a lot of my time exploring Bitcoin in early 2013.

I've been accepting Bitcoin for design and print work since May 2013 (my first Bitcoin job was business cards for the Let's Talk Bitcoin team to bring to Bitcoin 2013 in San Jose).

I've been selling Bitcoin Keychains since July 2013.
Bkeychain.com

I made Litecoin keychains a bit later in 2013, but they haven't been selling that well (anyone want a deal on 1000 Litecoin keychains?).
Lkeychain.com

I've written bitcoin articles on Let's Talk Bitcoin and Spelunk.in
LetsTalkBitcoin.com/blog
Spelunk.in

And in October of 2014 I became an LTB Network podcaster with The Bitcoin Game!

I'm definitely not a Bitcoin expert, just an enthusiast who enjoys participating as much as I can.

Re: why is there 0.000055 btc in my LTB account?

Counterparty is set up on top of the Bitcoin Blockchain, so sending LTBcoin (or any Counterparty asset) requires sending a little BTC. The small Bitcoin transaction transmits the info about the Counterparty transaction.

(That's the first time I've tried to explain it, hopefully that's accurate)

Re: [Official] The 100,000 LTBcoin Logo Design Contest

Here are a few versions of a basic design for consideration. My goals with this design are:

-Utilize the current LTB branding (my sense is familiarity and cross-promotion of the brand is important)

-Create a design that fits with other major altcoins

Re: Whats your price for LTBCOIN?

I wanted to share my experience with LTBcoin's value, to date. My first transaction was for design work, and I was paid in LTBcoin, at an agreed upon value of $0.01/LTBcoin.

Next exchange of LTBcoin was the first user drop, and I was surprised how substantial it ended up being.

And I've agreed to purchase a display ad on LTB.com (one of three ads auctioned off), at a price of only 1100 LTBcoin. I think that was a screaming deal, even at the higher valuations I've seen of LTB. If the ad bidding stays in this range next week, I will try buying a couple of print ads, and reselling one or more of them to friends with Bitcoin companies, who aren't in the ecosystem (with LTB's approval). It's a roll I thought about pre-coin, and was excited to see Brian Cohen jumped right into that roll with the podcast ads.

@Adam I'm wondering if the model is extremely generous to early users by design, or if there just are less users early users than projected? (and I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, or projections are in your documentation)

Re: Display Ads on LetsTalkBitcoin.com!

@steven, I sent my art to @Adam, awaiting a payment address.

I'm looking forward to seeing the ad on LTB.com!

Re: Display Ads on LetsTalkBitcoin.com!

@steven I have one banner ad I am willing to sell. It is for this week. Anyone want to make an offer?
Just want to make sure @coinfire sees this, since his bid was just barely too late (due to time-zone calc error).

Re: LTBcoin paper wallet

Hi @adam, that makes sense to me, but I'm referring to this specific comment @dweller said in the comments to his article: "You don't have to sweep all the tokens at the same time. But I would consider the paper wallet less secure as soon as you recover any token from it."

No need to address further, I was just trying to understand something that didn't make sense to me.

Re: LTBcoin paper wallet

Thanks @deweller, and sorry I missed your response on the original thread. And regrettably, while I get what you're saying in regards to the way Counterparty sees the transaction, I'm still perplexed about the Bitcoin part of the transaction. The paper wallet is still sending some BTC as a Counterparty message envelope (at least that's the way I conceive of how transactions work, based on what I've read in the LTB forum). So I don't know why the lack of a change address for the tiny bit of Bitcoin being sent isn't an issue.

Think you can explain the BItcoin part of the transaction so I better understand why a change address isn't needed? Don't worry if it's a pain to explain, but I'd love to correct my thinking if my current understanding is not accurate. Thanks!

Re: LTBcoin paper wallet

@deweller I tried it and as expected it works just fine. I wrote it up as a full blog post here:

http://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/secure-ltbcoin-paper-wallet

I posted a question after the article regarding partial spends of a paper wallet. When others asked about partial spends, there was no mention of "change address" issues. Can you address that?

Re: Tipping LTB with LTBcoin

I actually forgot tipping was even part of the LTBcoin model, but was reminded of that on the most recent podcast. As I somehow have missed any mention of tipping on the site, I'm unclear if that reward feature is implemented yet.

Is the Bitcoin address on each article an LTBcoin tipping address? It's vague as it stands, so I think that should be explicit if in fact those are all addresses we can tip with LTBcoin.

Re: BTC Consumption

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.
