Re: LTBcoin 'reputation staking' linked with account

Good thinking, @ltb4me!

We're actually working on something like that and quite a bit more. The basic idea is that a user's level of access to a system, their overall experience, flair and many other things are controlled by the tokens they have in their wallet. Adam is about to release an article in the coming days.

Here's the abstract as a teaser:

Token-Controlled Access (TCA) is a simple idea. In a given system, different levels of access to that system are granted according to the combination of tokens in a particular user’s wallet.

What is TCV?

Token Controlled Viewpoint (TCV) is an application of TCA to information content (forums, posts, comments, bonus content, bloopers, walkthroughs, tips, tweets, supplemental blogs, RSS feeds or other data) on basic web pages.

Each piece of information, or blocks of information, are associated with a token(s) and quantity(s). If the quantity is zero, the information is viewable to users with or without accounts. If the quantity required is more than zero, the information is not loaded unless the address(s) associated with the user contain the required token(s).

Re: I (like) my posts

@cryptonaut

@rob But perhaps self-liked posts aren't counted in the LTB distribution calculations? I'd hope and assume @adam @cryptonaut didn't overlook this.

self likes do not count

..but we left them in there for when we get a flood of Facebook grandmas.

Just kidding, @ademczuk. Facebook grandpas too! ;)

@mic

Would you be interested in sharing your African perspective on the Crypto for Change blog I've just started on LTB, in return for LTBcoin? This could be either as an occasional guest blogger or as a regular contributor.

I'd definitely be interested. It'd have to be occasional. Its chimes with why I set up this thread! I've been planning on putting up something for the LTB community from my perspective. I'm still learning my way around the new community rewards & content scheme. Can in get in touch in the next few days?

That's great! Take your time and just drop me a note when you're ready.

Re: Editors' Communication Thread

@geofflosophy

Thanks for your post submission. It sounds like it could be a great sci-fi story idea, but it's not quite publishable quality as is. Maybe you could work on it some more and write up a story along these lines.

Andrew

Re: Magic Words - Is this correct?

I've just tried typing in a random (wrong) magic word and that's the error I got. @Cryptonaut will have more info on what else might be wrong.

Meanwhile, what shows did you input magic words for? Are they older than 4 days? That's how long magic words are valid.

Re: Bitcoin in East Africa & Africa

@mic I hear and read a lot of misinformation and misconceptions about bitcoin and how/what it can do for developing countries including Africa.

That's an interesting observation. I've lived in rural Guatemala (Central America) for a year, helping out with various projects, and can relate to the huge gulf between the idealized expectations of people on the outside (despite the best of intentions), compared to the reality on the ground in developing countries.

A big part of the blog's goal is to reach out to citizens of developing countries and anyone who runs projects there. You can read the first post, here. It's about a different way of getting people passionate about crypto: showing them how they can use it to achieve their goals.

Re: Doctor, doctor....

@mike This would be a good narrative style for a weekly forum roundup.

That's what I thought as I was reading along.

@spengler

Awesome! Thanks for the laughs. And...

Re: T-Shirts for the D.A.M.N known as Lets Talk Bitcoin

@deadnettlez Cool stuff!

Can you do the T-shirt (F) in any colors, maybe yellow? And how much would it cost to ship one to mainland Europe?

Re: Record my article(s) as audio.

@mike

@crimsonroze sounds like the weekly roundup should perhaps be a podcast :)

This was my first thought when I saw the original post.

Best if it's both. The transcript is handy for the links to more info.
