Satoshi codes

Davux: /* Code table */ Proposing "Good Luck" / support in general at 11

Someone [https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=37892 had the idea] to add numeric codes at the end of transactions to add a special meaning.

Here is the explication that came along with the proposal:
<blockquote>
One thing to make Bitcoin more sociable would be to add a message to a Bitcoin transfer. Since this is not part of the protocol, one could have a standard to interpret the last digits sent in a Bitcoin amount, the Satoshis. The digits are currently hardly ever being used and it costs nothing for the computer to use these. People want to express emotions in the messages on computers, that's where the use of emoticons came from (namely as just simply an interpretation of certain rarely used key combinations).

Therefore I present hereby, Satoshi Codes, the "emoticons" of Bitcoin. You simply add these Satoshis to an amount you are transferring with the following meanings (since Satoshis are currently worth very little it also costs almost nothing).
</blockquote>

== Code table ==

Here is the list of proposed codes so far:

{| class="wikitable"

|}

Notes:
* Some other codes were proposed in the thread, but it's difficult to tell which ones are serious proposals, so feel free to add yours if it is. :)
* Suggestion for adding codes: check your past sent transactions and wonder what message you would have attached to each one. Try to make the message generic enough so that it's useful to many people while being explicit enough.

== Code discussion ==
=== Number of digits ===
For the moment, two-digit codes should be enough, but due to the proposed scheme, it should be easy to add more. Let's try to keep the list small though, so that they're easy to memorize without needing software implementation. --[[User:Davux|Davux]] 22:14, 19 August 2011 (GMT)

=== Private codes ===
Just like unicode characters, maybe a specific range should be reserved for local/private use. --[[User:Davux|Davux]] 22:14, 19 August 2011 (GMT)

== sort-of Protocol ==

From the original idea submitter:
<blockquote>
You simply add these [[Units|Satoshis]] to an amount you are transferring with the following meanings (since Satoshis are currently worth very little it also costs almost nothing.
</blockquote>

Alternative idea: just prepend your code with a given number of 0's (say 4). Backward compatible with the original suggestion, while allowing sub-satoshi amounts when needed.

Davux: Proposing ᗸ (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER KHEE)

== Currency code ==
The [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/ISO_4217 currency code] for Bitcoin is '''BTC'''. However, at the moment it is an [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/ISO_4217#Without_currency_code unofficial code] according to the ISO 4217 standard but the official code according to the Bitcoin community.

A [https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7205.msg112577 request] has been made at the [http://www.six-group.com/ organization] maintaining the currency codes in the ISO 4217 standard to support BTC. This has been declined mainly on bases that organizations such as [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Reuters Reuters] and [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Bloomberg Bloomberg] are not reporting on the Bitcoin currency. when this changes a request can be resubmitted.

== Currency sign ==

There is no official currency sign for Bitcoin as of December 2010. As an alternative, the BTC currency code can be used. Some existing Unicode symbols have been proposed but also serious work is being done on creating a custom Bitcoin sign with its own official [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Unicode Unicode] that is recognized by the [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Unicode_Consortium Unicode Consortium]. Note that a currency sign is more complex than creating a logo as will be explained below.

[[File:Example-unicode-reference-currency-signs.png|256px|thumb|right|Examples of Unicode currency sign reference glyphs]]

=== New Unicode symbol ===

In some discussions [https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=41.0 41], [https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=369.0 369] and [https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7215.0 7215] on the bitcoin forum several designs of an official Bitcoin sign have been proposed. This section on the Wiki is intended to streamline the process of arriving at an official Bitcoin currency sign with its own Unicode character code.

==== Goal ====
Having a unique Bitcoin currency sign will allow typographers to add their currency sign design in their fonts. This is similar as implementing support for the euro sign. Each font has its own version of the euro sign that fits with the style observed in the characters in the rest of the fonts of their typefaces. Note that the Unicode Consortium does not endorse Bitcoin in any way by assigning a Unicode character code, however, having a Unicode for the Bitcoin sign will also be good for PR and help having Bitcoin be taken more seriously.

==== Requirements and criteria ====

A reference Bitcoin sign could/should/must be:
* recognizable as a [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Currency_sign currency sign] such as $ € ¥ £ ¢ (e.g. with one or two vertical or horzontal bars)
* not confusing with existing currency sign such as Thai Baht ฿
* build from recognizable existing characters found on most [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Keyboard_layout#United_States QWERTY keyboards] such as bar |, minus -, hash # and/or capital B referring to currencies and '''B'''itcoin
* easy to use in handwriting
* easy to compose with one or more [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GtkComposeTable#The%20Gtk%20Compose%20Table compose seuquences] that are still free and refer to the elements recognizable in the sign (For example the euro sign can be composed from = and C even though the = and C are not part of how it is pronounced.)
* ''possible'' to implement in [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Serif serif and sans-serif] (Most of the [http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U20A0.pdf Unicode reference implementations] are made with serifs but sans-serif also exist in sans-serif fonts. So a reference implementation in serif to what is found in the PDF is preferred.)
* ''possible'' to implement in regular, italic, bold and bold italic (for sans-serif the italic will simply be a slanted version)
* in [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/SVG SVG] and use this [http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FVY8W1W3 template] (save as bitcoin-sign-20110719-template.svg) with updated metadata and public domain or similar free/open/libre license

Note that a reference Bitcoin sign will only be used as a reference by the Unicode Consortium and it is up to typographers to implement their version matching the style of their typefaces and fonts.

==== Submissions====

It is possible to submit proposals for a '''reference implementation''' below until (community must determine date). They will be judged by (community must form committee for this). If you have problems submitting your design, ask a friend with knowledge on editing wikipedia for help.

=== Existing Unicode symbol ===

There is a discussion over [http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=369.0 which Unicode symbol might be the best suited] for bitcoin.

To type Unicode characters, refer to:

* [[How to easily type the circled B symbol on a Mac]]

It has led to the following options:

Satoshi codes

2011-08-19T22:14:34Z

Davux: wiki syntax bugfix, notes&suggestions, sort-of protocol

Someone [https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=37892 had the idea] to add numeric codes at the end of transactions to add a special meaning.

Here is the explication that came along with the proposal:
<blockquote>
One thing to make Bitcoin more sociable would be to add a message to a Bitcoin transfer. Since this is not part of the protocol, one could have a standard to interpret the last digits sent in a Bitcoin amount, the Satoshis. The digits are currently hardly ever being used and it costs nothing for the computer to use these. People want to express emotions in the messages on computers, that's where the use of emoticons came from (namely as just simply an interpretation of certain rarely used key combinations).

Therefore I present hereby, Satoshi Codes, the "emoticons" of Bitcoin. You simply add these Satoshis to an amount you are transferring with the following meanings (since Satoshis are currently worth very little it also costs almost nothing).
</blockquote>

== Code table ==

Here is the list of proposed codes so far:

Notes:
* Some other codes were proposed in the thread, but it's difficult to tell which ones are serious proposals, so feel free to add yours if it is. :)
* Suggestion for adding codes: check your past sent transactions and wonder what message you would have attached to each one. Try to make the message generic enough so that it's useful to many people while being explicit enough.

== Code discussion ==
=== Number of digits ===
For the moment, two-digit codes should be enough, but due to the proposed scheme, it should be easy to add more. Let's try to keep the list small though, so that they're easy to memorize without needing software implementation. --[[User:Davux|Davux]] 22:14, 19 August 2011 (GMT)

=== Private codes ===
Just like unicode characters, maybe a specific range should be reserved for local/private use. --[[User:Davux|Davux]] 22:14, 19 August 2011 (GMT)

== sort-of Protocol ==

From the original idea submitter:
<blockquote>
You simply add these [[Units|Satoshis]] to an amount you are transferring with the following meanings (since Satoshis are currently worth very little it also costs almost nothing.
</blockquote>

Alternative idea: just prepend your code with a given number of 0's (say 4). Backward compatible with the original suggestion, while allowing sub-satoshi amounts when needed.

Satoshi codes

Davux: First version of Satoshi Codes

Someone [https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=37892 had the idea] to add numeric codes at the end of transactions to add a special meaning.

Here is the explication that came along with the proposal:
> One thing to make Bitcoin more sociable would be to add a message to a Bitcoin transfer. Since this is not part of the protocol, one could have a standard to interpret the last digits sent in a Bitcoin amount, the Satoshis. The digits are currently hardly ever being used and it costs nothing for the computer to use these. People want to express emotions in the messages on computers, that's where the use of emoticons came from (namely as just simply an interpretation of certain rarely used key combinations).
>
> Therefore I present hereby, Satoshi Codes, the "emoticons" of Bitcoin. You simply add these Satoshis to an amount you are transferring with the following meanings (since Satoshis are currently worth very little it also costs almost nothing).

Here is the list of proposed codes so far:

Davux: Ask Joise to document his changes

Hi Joise, thanks for all your contributions on the Trade page. The page needed some cleanup quite badly. But please, could you explain the changes you make? There is a "Comment" line for this purpose before publishing a change. Thank you. --[[User:Davux|Davux]] 22:07, 4 July 2011 (GMT)

Talk:Trade

2011-06-22T23:15:15Z

Davux: /* Require description of changes */ new section

==Proposed Listing Standards==
I propose the following standards be required for listing on the [Trade]. The listed site must
# Be currently functional (downtime of less than 48 hours is acceptable)
# Be currently accepting bitcoins
# Have clear instructions for paying with bitcoins from the link given
# Prices must be sane within an order of magnitude (non-sane prices indicate that the website has not been updated to match bitcoin deflation)
The standards will help keep the list manageable and easy to use.

This is a talk page, so please sign your contributions. I mostly agree, but the "sane prices" criterion seems a bit subjective ; there is a risk that we exclude goodwilling merchants, who would otherwise be willing to update their prices when contacted. [[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 10:43, 12 February 2011 (GMT)

:Here is an example [http://bitcoin2cash.com/]. When I say "sane", I mean reasonable within an order of magnitude. I moved your other comment to a separate section for clarity [[User:Ptd|Ptd]] 12:59, 13 February 2011 (GMT)

Sounds reasonable. --[[User:Sirius|Sirius]] 07:09, 23 February 2011 (GMT)
Reasonable. What about defining a practice for ordering the list of sites? I've got one to add, so I'll just tack it at the bottom, but it's going to be an ugly list after awhile. Alphabetical? Chronologically ordered by add date?
[[User:JulianTosh|JulianTosh]] 00:19, 10 May 2011 (GMT)

I'd say somewhat unreasonable regarding the clear instructions. A lot of my customers are the types who would get confused if I listed my native currency and Bitcoin side by side. I want to offer Bitcoin for Bitcoin users, but not at the risk of confusing other potential customers and potentially losing sales as a result. As such, I make it possible for customers to switch to using Bitcoin during the checkout process. [[User:Orbixx|Orbixx]] 18:39, 02 June 2011 (GMT)

Every link that does not go to a page that CLEARLY states they are accepting bitcoins should be removed. Try to go to the website Orbixx has added again, there is simply no way to check they accept bitcoins, and I believe they don't actually. I couldn't figure it out. So I think the rules should be that if the link does NOT arrive at a page that says the site is accepting bitcoins, it should be removed. Orbixx, companies can just create a separate page for it, and you link to that page, not simply to your homepage if you think it would be too confusing on the home page.
[[User:Berend|Berend]] 21:21, 2 June 2011 (GMT)

On Exoware.net payment methods are not stated at all until the checkout process; this is incredibly common. It should be evident that we accept Bitcoin because we are listed on this page and there should be no need to plaster it all over some landing page or on the site. As for your belief that "they don't actually [accept bitcoins]", you're welcome to try us - we do. The mere fact that you nonchalantly removed our listing in the first place for apparently not accepting Bitcoin without even getting in contact with us in the first place is ridiculous. Then to come on here after I email you with screenshots showing the page where you can change your currency to BTC and say that somehow you still maintain that we do not accept Bitcoin is preposterous. Do not remove any listings without first solidly verifying your inadequate assumptions. [[User:Orbixx|Orbixx]] 04:01, 03 June 2011 (GMT)

It's not unreasonable to expect a merchant to have a bitcoin logo among the mastercard, visa, paypal, google checkout, etc. buttons that clutter a corner of nearly every website that takes money. If they accept bitcoin, they should add a bitcoin logo there. if they take money, they should have a section that fits the description. it's that simple. no reason not to be able to tell at a glance. [[User:aarcane|aarcane]] 04:54, 03 June 2011 (UTC)

==Should we put addresses on the wiki?==
We just had some bitcoin address spam. perhaps it would not have happened if we did not put bitcoin addresses on the wiki ? [[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 23:50, 12 February 2011 (GMT)
: Page is now semi-protected. [[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]] 08:28, 16 February 2011 (GMT)

Yea i suggest not to put the bitcoin addresses of donation-accepting orgs on the wiki. this opens it up to vandalism in hopes of getting misdirected bitcoins. just link to the relevant webpage of the donation-accepting organization, and that's all. that way also we don't have to worry about the addresses changing.--[[User:Nanotube|Nanotube]] 04:41, 24 February 2011 (GMT)

==Hide Contents of Adult?==
Should the contents of Adult be displayed by default, or might it be reasonable to expect that to be a hidden that requires an action for the contents of the category to be rendered? - [[User:sgornick]] 06:22, 23 February 2011 (GMT)

Should be hidden or moved to another page. --[[User:Sirius|Sirius]] 07:05, 23 February 2011 (GMT)

I'm all for censoring it as much as the community will tolerate. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 13:27, 23 February 2011 (GMT)

Why hide adult section? They are just links to sites, and section is clearly labeled "Adult". What's the big idea on the censorship? --[[User:Nanotube|Nanotube]] 04:39, 24 February 2011 (GMT)

I suggest do not censor or hide. Consider for example genjix's calm reference to drugs in his presentation. Should he have been afraid and contemplative of censoring or preventing from communicating such things? Such is a kind of debate generally influenced by religi*** motivations. See [[Trade_R]] for adult content [[User:Mizerydearia|Mizerydearia]] 15:04, 27 April 2011 (GMT)

Against censorship of site links. They should simply be labeled as adult oriented and the vagues possible genre references.
[[User:JulianTosh|JulianTosh]] 00:21, 10 May 2011 (GMT)

The problem with listing every site together with adults sites is that automatic scanning software might label your business in the same group. You don't want that to happen, else your legitimate businesses will very quickly disappear from this page
[[User:Berend|Berend]] 21:18, 2 June 2011 (GMT)

== Drugs Section Empty ==

The "psychoactives" section appears to consist entirely of dead links. [[User:Ironwolf|Ironwolf]] 03:54, 28 March 2011 (GMT)

I deleted the Drugs section, since Bitcoin is still far too vulnerable to government actions against it -- there are many single points of failure. The most glaring to me is the DNS system -- the bitcoin.org domain could be taken down if the US government wishes to.

:This is a terrible decision. My company was removed because of this decision, and it disgusts me. Not all drugs are illegal. My company operates a physical storefront in the US. We ONLY sell drugs that you can buy at the supermarket down the road. Just because it is a "drug" or "psychoactive" doesn't mean that the government is trying to shut it down. Nicotine is a drug, aspirin is a drug, alcohol is a drug. Lotus petals are psychoactive, and so is chamomile and kava - but you can go into Walmart or Walgreens/CVS and buy them. These are the only drugs for sale. Stop freaking out about it. People have swept our business off this list twice because of this ridiculous mindset. We're a hippy art store - not a head shop or drug market. --[[User:Metagnosis|Metagnosis]] 17:59, 22 June 2011 (GMT)

I apologize to those merchants who may not get as many customers now, but really, it's probably better this way. Anyone who needs to can get a connection by asking around, I'm sure. My goal is only to reduce the "criminal" perception of Bitcoin. [[User:AaronM|AaronM]] 01:18, 27 April 2011 (GMT)

== What is a Notable Website ==

I started accepting bitcoin at http://la.indymedia.org and a couple other sites on the slaptech.net site. What's the standard for adding this to the list of sites? [[User:Johnk|Johnk]] 16:30, 17 April 2011 (GMT)

== New section for services that are not considered "Professional services"? ==

I'm wondering whether it might be advisable to add a section for services that are not really "professional services" as that term is ordinarily used in vernacular English.

For example, I just added a dump-truck haulage service to ''Professional services/Other''; but dump truck haulage is not generally considered a professional service. Ought we to consider adding a new section to the page? [[User:1ECVX6EAk53VER2NH5NKharUUGpfw8iUP6|1ECVX6EAk53VER2NH5NKharUUGpfw8iUP6]] 01:49, 4 May 2011 (GMT)

:i'm a massage therapist wanting to trade bitcoin for massage. what section do i put my services in?
:[[User:zenbunny|zenbunny]] 20:52, 25 May 2011 (GMT)

== donation accepting organizasions ==

perhaps a separate page should be created for them ?
I guess donations do not belong to "trade".
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 23:17, 5 May 2011 (GMT)

:Definitely. It's a bit sad that there is no place to list all Bitcoin-accepted organizations, particularly smaller non-profit ones since they don't sell anything and the organizations page has a notability requirement. I'll create one if no one objects and/or does it before me. [[User:Blues|Blues]] 20:36, 25 May 2011 (GMT)

== Alternative listings for bitcoin-related directory and merchant sites ==

Because this wiki is censored and not allowing of certain contents or sites, I have set up http://bitcoinsites.witcoin.com/ to allow for all bitcoin-related sites to be posted. Feel free to also use this medium for commenting and reviewing sites as well. [[User:Mizerydearia|Mizerydearia]] 05:28, 25 May 2011 (GMT)

* Since witcoin.com is subject to US and/or Canada law, I would expect it to be censored as well eventually. But perhaps not a bad idea to make an alternative site for the ratings/reviews idea anyway... I won't use it if it's based on witcoin though, since they require paying to comment/rate... --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 18:27, 25 May 2011 (GMT)

[http://bitcookies.com Bitcookies] - A community resource to list businesses, events, and classifieds that are related to Bitcoin. The server is privately owned and therefore not subject to any controlling interests. The site does not, nor will it ever have censorship in terms of the types of businesses/traders/websites listed. The site is free to all community members and was developed with funds from my mining operations. [[User:Miner249er|Miner24934]] 16:25, 27 May 2011 (GMT)

== Bloomberg Esque Data Suite: Compiling Transaction info from merchants to measure demand ==

I am included on the list of many who are very interested in seeing bitcoin succeed and want to be a part of that success, but there is one serious uncertainity that is keeping me from getting in: are people actually using their coins for more than just buying drugs and slim jims, and is all of the buying concentrated in one website or product and one consumer demographic? Demand for the coins is necessary for their success. This can be determined by consumption rates and habits. I have perused the website listing, but still feel that information is lacking.

It would be nice to see an economic indicator that acquires data from merchants (and compensates them in bitcoin for their effort) on the dollar value (and perhaps sector) of the bitcoin transactions. We could then weigh a derivative of total dollar amount and number of transactions against the number of bitcoins mined to get a better understanding of the economic health of the currency.

== Require description of changes ==

It's impossible to read this pages's history, because most people seem to forget to:
- use the "description" line when committing a change
- use the "preview" button, and do several changes in a row just because they forgot the label on a link

The first point is the most important, because of changes like [https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Trade&diff=prev&oldid=11246 that one], that suppresses and adds random links without even explaining why. Such changes should be immediately reverted, by policy. On the technical side, one small improvement could be to require the "description" field to be non-empty. People could still write random characters, but that would still be a different action. --[[User:Davux|Davux]] 23:15, 22 June 2011 (GMT)
