<hr />
<div>[[Bech32]] is a bitcoin [[address]] format specified by [[BIP 0173]]. It is used for the native segwit version 0 output types, P2WPKH and P2WSH. The upcoming [[Taproot]] softfork will add another output type called Pay to Taproot (P2TR). P2TR outputs and future native segwit versions will be using an updated variant of [[Bech32]], called [[Bech32m]] (specified by [[BIP 0350]]). This page tracks the adoption of [[Bech32]] and [[Bech32m]].<br />
<br />
Ideally wallets and services would first support ''sending to'' new addresses. When most wallets and services support sending to the new address type, people are more likely to adopt it for receiving. <br />
<br />
The amount of bech32 addresses on the blockchain is tracked on this website: https://p2sh.info/dashboard/db/bech32-statistics?orgId=1<br />

For trying these out you can use mainnet TXIDs <code>4ef47f6eb681d5d9fa2f7e16336cd629303c635e8da51e425b76088be9c8744c</code> and <code>514a33f1d46179b89e1fea7bbb07b682ab14083a276979f91038369d1a8d689b</code>. And addresses <code>bc1qar0srrr7xfkvy5l643lydnw9re59gtzzwf5mdq</code> and <code>bc1qc7slrfxkknqcq2jevvvkdgvrt8080852dfjewde450xdlk4ugp7szw5tk9</code>.<br />
<br />
Some blockchain explorers can only parse the bech32 address and display it, they don't build an index so users cannot search for bech32 addresses.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''NOTE: This discussion is repeatedly censored by Luke-Jr, the only user of Tonal Bitcoin. See History page of this Talk.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />
The page could be renamed somthing like "describing and writing amounts of BTC using Tonal numbers"<br />
<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />
<br />
--[[User:Ziv|Ziv]]<br />
<br />
==Voting about deleting page==<br />
<br />
I also think this page should be deleted. There are at least three people suggesting this now, so I will re-add the delete tag to the page. So far there seems to be only one objection to the delete. I will initiate voting on this talk page. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:48, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
* '''Delete''' - I believe this tonal suggestion will only do harm to the bitcoin project, and so far the only person advocating it is luke-jr, who rarely gives any rational reasons that I nor anyone else AFAIK can understand. Sorry luke-jr, but I'm doing my best to get you to explain the benefits. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:52, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' - I've been lurking for a while, but I registered after seeing this nonsense here. Clearly if luke-jr is simply (and rather immaturely) blanking the discussion rather than responding to the specific points he has few arguments to marshal in his favor. --[[User:Zyzygy|Zyzygy]] ([[User talk:Zyzygy|talk]]) 05:14, 26 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' along with all other references to this bullshit one man show in history, firsts and maybe other places. It serves no other thing than to Luke's ego. Why should the wiki as a whole support this? Apparently he realized that he can't win with arguments as he just deleted this very discussion. --[[User:Giszmo|Giszmo]] ([[User talk:Giszmo|talk]]) 15:41, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' because:<br />
# nobody knows it - it seems that all sources are from one person [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] and from 150 years old (!) book. There is no notability. Nobody after cares about it. There are no "tonal system community" or "people that are using tonal system" - tonal system uses just 1 person and he is trying to misappropriate Bitcoin for this<br />
# Tonal system is not at any way related to Bitcoin. Tonal system is related to numbers representation, not to monetary system. Please keep this page in general Wikipedia or some numeric Wikipedia, not in Bitcoin Wikipedia<br />
# Tonal units are very confusing - from technically point of view (font, writing it) and mainly there is very similar to decimal numbers - there are many cases in which is not clear which system is used. Also TBC is common typing error of BTC<br />
:'''Also I propose remove all notation about tonal from other wiki pages''', for example [[Units]] (very confusing), [[History]], [[Wallet protocol]] or [[Vocabulary]], and prevent them from reverting back (as happened several times). At least until Luke-jr (or someone else) find notable cites to keeping it here. [[User:Aleš Janda|Aleš Janda]] ([[User talk:Aleš Janda|talk]]) 19:44, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
<br />
Luke-jr comment to voting: This is for discussion, not trolling. Note that this is not an encyclopedia, and does not have any "notability" requirements. If you don't want to use Tonal, don't. Trolling is not acceptable and will be deleted. Reasoned criticism is welcome in the "Criticism" section of the page.<br />
<br />
:What exactly from this discussion is "trolling"? I think you regard as trolling ANY critism. Don't clear discussion. Also, "Criticism" section is not good place to talk.

<hr />
<div>'''NOTE: This discussion is repeatedly censored by Luke-Jr, the only user of Tonal Bitcoin. See History page of this Talk.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />
The page could be renamed somthing like "describing and writing amounts of BTC using Tonal numbers"<br />
<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />
<br />
--[[User:Ziv|Ziv]]<br />
<br />
==Voting about deleting page==<br />
<br />
I also think this page should be deleted. There are at least three people suggesting this now, so I will re-add the delete tag to the page. So far there seems to be only one objection to the delete.

<hr />
<div>'''NOTE: This discussion is repeatedly censored by Luke-Jr, the only user of Tonal Bitcoin. See History page of this Talk.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />
The page could be renamed somthing like "describing and writing amounts of BTC using Tonal numbers"<br />
<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />
<br />

<br />
The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />

* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />

I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted.

I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />

How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />

The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />

I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />
The page could be renamed somthing like "describing and writing amounts of BTC using Tonal numbers"<br />
<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />

<br />
:Tonal Bitcoin has lot of problems. Template "Delete" was there first time putted 1,5 years ago (not by me). There is discuss on wiki, in which ALL votes and opinions are against Tonal Bitcoin. I searched the Internet and I don't found any person using Tonal system (or being interested in it). Except you, of course.<br />
<br />
:Personally, I don't have nothing against tonal system itself, it's quite interesting from historical and technical point of view (although I would prefer counting in base 12 rather than 16 - it's better divisible in real world). Definitely, it have place in common Wikipedia. But how the hell is tonal system related to bitcoin? There are completely different things, why you don't promote tonal dollar, tonal euro or tonal counting of common things? I don't see any pages about it. Why just bitcoin is so different?<br />
<br />
:This is why tonal bitcoin on wiki is bad. 100% of people are confusing, 0% are happy.<br />
<br />
:I love bitcoin. From technical and economic reason. I think bitcoin has a future. I try to promote bitcoin, mostly in my country, write articles and try to put informations to people. Not forcing using them but everybody should know in which is bitcoin different and why. People should think about it. And then eventually decide to use bitcoin. To decide, they must have more informations and wiki is great for it.<br />
<br />
:But how I can recommend them wiki when is messed with off-topic things? Bitcoin itself is difficult enough, when we have add unrelated topics on it (in which isn't instantly clear that they are unrelated), we will have more confusing people. This isn't good for anybody. Nor for you.<br />
<br />
:I know, you love tonal system (for some reason) and you have something to do with bitcoin, so you are trying put your ideals to it. Even when there are unrelated projects. Even when everybody are against it. Even when it confusing new people. I respect your work on bitcoin, and - without a doubt - generally you are for bitcoin more useful person than me, but this is really, really bad thing.<br />
<br />
:Please, stop promote tonal system on Bitcoin wiki. Respect opinion of ALL people. Don't do it just because your ego. Do some fan page for tonal system, converters etc. but don't use bitcoin for promoting. Just until tonal system wouldn't widely used. It's very, very confusing and it damages the wiki.<br />

* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />
The page could be renamed somthing like "describing and writing amounts of BTC using Tonal numbers"<br />
<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />
<br />

<br />
==Voting about deleting page==<br />
<br />
I also think this page should be deleted. There are at least three people suggesting this now, so I will re-add the delete tag to the page. So far there seems to be only one objection to the delete. I will initiate voting on this talk page. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:48, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
* '''Delete''' - I believe this tonal suggestion will only do harm to the bitcoin project, and so far the only person advocating it is luke-jr, who rarely gives any rational reasons that I nor anyone else AFAIK can understand. Sorry luke-jr, but I'm doing my best to get you to explain the benefits. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:52, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' - I've been lurking for a while, but I registered after seeing this nonsense here. Clearly if luke-jr is simply (and rather immaturely) blanking the discussion rather than responding to the specific points he has few arguments to marshal in his favor. --[[User:Zyzygy|Zyzygy]] ([[User talk:Zyzygy|talk]]) 05:14, 26 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' along with all other references to this bullshit one man show in history, firsts and maybe other places. It serves no other thing than to Luke's ego. Why should the wiki as a whole support this? Apparently he realized that he can't win with arguments as he just deleted this very discussion. --[[User:Giszmo|Giszmo]] ([[User talk:Giszmo|talk]]) 15:41, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' because:<br />
# nobody knows it - it seems that all sources are from one person [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] and from 150 years old (!) book. There is no notability. Nobody after cares about it. There are no "tonal system community" or "people that are using tonal system" - tonal system uses just 1 person and he is trying to misappropriate Bitcoin for this<br />
# Tonal system is not at any way related to Bitcoin. Tonal system is related to numbers representation, not to monetary system. Please keep this page in general Wikipedia or some numeric Wikipedia, not in Bitcoin Wikipedia<br />
# Tonal units are very confusing - from technically point of view (font, writing it) and mainly there is very similar to decimal numbers - there are many cases in which is not clear which system is used. Also TBC is common typing error of BTC<br />
:'''Also I propose remove all notation about tonal from other wiki pages''', for example [[Units]] (very confusing), [[History]], [[Wallet protocol]] or [[Vocabulary]], and prevent them from reverting back (as happened several times). At least until Luke-jr (or someone else) find notable cites to keeping it here. [[User:Aleš Janda|Aleš Janda]] ([[User talk:Aleš Janda|talk]]) 19:44, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
<br />
Luke-jr comment to voting: This is for discussion, not trolling. Note that this is not an encyclopedia, and does not have any "notability" requirements. If you don't want to use Tonal, don't. Trolling is not acceptable and will be deleted. Reasoned criticism is welcome in the "Criticism" section of the page.<br />
<br />
:What exactly from this discussion is "trolling"? I think you regard as trolling ANY critism. Don't clear discussion. Also, "Criticism" section is not good place to talk.

<references /></div>Aleš Jandahttps://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Satoshi_Dice&diff=33424Satoshi Dice2012-12-08T08:52:43Z<p>Aleš Janda: Undo revision 33409 by Luke-jr (talk): SatoshiDice definitely floods blockchain, but it's not point of this game. If yes, please add source.</p>
<hr />
<div>SatoshiDice is blockchain-based betting game.<br />
<br />
Unlike traditional online gaming software, wagers with SatoshiDice can be sent without access to the website nor running any client software. To play, a Bitcoin transaction is made to one of the static addresses operated by the service, each having differing payouts. The service determines if the wager wins or loses and sends a transaction in response with the payout to a winning bet or it returns a tiny fraction of the house's gain to a losing bet.<br />
<br />
There has been the suggestion that the service might be also be used as a [[mixing service]], as the composition of a wallet can be materially changed after running wagers through SatoshiDice<ref>[http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=79079.0 Blockchain-based betting services function as mixing services?]</ref>.<br />
Though this approach could change the makeup of the wallet, it does not sufficiently serve the mixing purpose as the coins returned in winning bets are tied to the coins from the wager transaction.<br />
<br />
There is no reason to believe that [[Satoshi Nakamoto]] has anything to do with this attack, other than the service choosing to include the noun Satoshi in the brand.<br />
It is known to be currently operated by [[Erik Voorhees]].<br />
<br />
==Random Number Generation==<br />
<br />
To determine if a wager is a winner or loser, the site uses a method to produce a number between 0 and 65,535, similar to how a random number generator (RNG) would be used. The service uses a combination of the transaction hash from the wager transaction from the blockchain and performs a 512-bit SHA2 hash for that transaction hash using a secret unknown to the player. The first four bytes of that hash become the lucky number in determining winner or loser.<br />
<br />
==Odds==<br />
<br />
Each wager address has different odds, and each gives the house an edge of 1.50% (i.e., payouts are 98.5% when including the payout to the losing bets)<ref>[http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77870.msg906438#msg906438 Some changes to the site]</ref>. The website shows the full list of wager addresses and odds.<br />
<br />
==Automated Betting==<br />
<br />
Some gamblers have built automated betting bot scripts employing the Martingale betting system and variants thereof<ref>[http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80245.0 PHP martingale bot for satoshiDICE]</ref>.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
SatoshiDice was the brand given the service initially created by [[BitcoinTalk]] forum user FireDuck before selling the system to another operator<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/segz0/anyone_want_to_run_my_bitcoin_casino Anyone want to run my bitcoin casino]</ref>. The service was announced on April 24, 2012<ref>[http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77870.0 SatoshiDICE.com - Verified rolls, up to 65,000x winning]</ref>].<br />
Withing weeks, the site became responsible for a large majority of transactions in the Bitcoin network.<ref>[http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=79285.0 All-time transaction record was just hit]</ref>.<br />
<br />
Since August 20, 2012 SatoshiDice shares are publicly traded<ref>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101902.0 IPO shares announcement</ref> at [[MPEx]] under S.DICE symbol and paying monthly dividends.<br />
<br />
==Criticism==<br />
<br />
SatoshiDice has been criticized for the amount of load it puts on the Bitcoin network. SatoshiDice automatically sends a single transaction as a response to each bet, even if the bet in question isn't a winning one. Combined with the amount of bets the service receives at hourly rate, it has become responsible for most of the transaction volume broadcasted in the Bitcoin network since May 2012, which has increased the amount of transactions miners have to process.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''NOTE: This discussion is repeatedly censored by Luke-Jr, the only user of Tonal Bitcoin. See History page of this Talk.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />

* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />

<br />
<br />
I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />
The page could be renamed somthing like "describing and writing amounts of BTC using Tonal numbers"<br />
<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />

==Voting about deleting page==<br />
<br />
I also think this page should be deleted. There are at least three people suggesting this now, so I will re-add the delete tag to the page. So far there seems to be only one objection to the delete. I will initiate voting on this talk page. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:48, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
* '''Delete''' - I believe this tonal suggestion will only do harm to the bitcoin project, and so far the only person advocating it is luke-jr, who rarely gives any rational reasons that I nor anyone else AFAIK can understand. Sorry luke-jr, but I'm doing my best to get you to explain the benefits. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:52, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' - I've been lurking for a while, but I registered after seeing this nonsense here. Clearly if luke-jr is simply (and rather immaturely) blanking the discussion rather than responding to the specific points he has few arguments to marshal in his favor. --[[User:Zyzygy|Zyzygy]] ([[User talk:Zyzygy|talk]]) 05:14, 26 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' along with all other references to this bullshit one man show in history, firsts and maybe other places. It serves no other thing than to Luke's ego. Why should the wiki as a whole support this? Apparently he realized that he can't win with arguments as he just deleted this very discussion. --[[User:Giszmo|Giszmo]] ([[User talk:Giszmo|talk]]) 15:41, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' because:<br />
# nobody knows it - it seems that all sources are from one person [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] and from 150 years old (!) book. There is no notability. Nobody after cares about it. There are no "tonal system community" or "people that are using tonal system" - tonal system uses just 1 person and he is trying to misappropriate Bitcoin for this<br />
# Tonal system is not at any way related to Bitcoin. Tonal system is related to numbers representation, not to monetary system. Please keep this page in general Wikipedia or some numeric Wikipedia, not in Bitcoin Wikipedia<br />
# Tonal units are very confusing - from technically point of view (font, writing it) and mainly there is very similar to decimal numbers - there are many cases in which is not clear which system is used. Also TBC is common typing error of BTC<br />
:'''Also I propose remove all notation about tonal from other wiki pages''', for example [[Units]] (very confusing), [[History]], [[Wallet protocol]] or [[Vocabulary]], and prevent them from reverting back (as happened several times). At least until Luke-jr (or someone else) find notable cites to keeping it here. [[User:Aleš Janda|Aleš Janda]] ([[User talk:Aleš Janda|talk]]) 19:44, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
<br />
Luke-jr comment to voting: This is for discussion, not trolling. Note that this is not an encyclopedia, and does not have any "notability" requirements. If you don't want to use Tonal, don't. Trolling is not acceptable and will be deleted. Reasoned criticism is welcome in the "Criticism" section of the page.<br />
<br />
:What exactly from this discussion is "trolling"? I think you regard as trolling ANY critism. Don't clear discussion. Also, "Criticism" section is not good place to talk.

<div>The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />
The page could be renamed somthing like "describing and writing amounts of BTC using Tonal numbers"<br />
<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />

<div>The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />
The page could be renamed somthing like "describing and writing amounts of BTC using Tonal numbers"<br />
<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />
<br />

<br />
==Voting about deleting page==<br />
<br />
I also think this page should be deleted. There are at least three people suggesting this now, so I will re-add the delete tag to the page. So far there seems to be only one objection to the delete. I will initiate voting on this talk page. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:48, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
* '''Delete''' - I believe this tonal suggestion will only do harm to the bitcoin project, and so far the only person advocating it is luke-jr, who rarely gives any rational reasons that I nor anyone else AFAIK can understand. Sorry luke-jr, but I'm doing my best to get you to explain the benefits. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:52, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' - I've been lurking for a while, but I registered after seeing this nonsense here. Clearly if luke-jr is simply (and rather immaturely) blanking the discussion rather than responding to the specific points he has few arguments to marshal in his favor. --[[User:Zyzygy|Zyzygy]] ([[User talk:Zyzygy|talk]]) 05:14, 26 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' along with all other references to this bullshit one man show in history, firsts and maybe other places. It serves no other thing than to Luke's ego. Why should the wiki as a whole support this? Apparently he realized that he can't win with arguments as he just deleted this very discussion. --[[User:Giszmo|Giszmo]] ([[User talk:Giszmo|talk]]) 15:41, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' because:<br />
# nobody knows it - it seems that all sources are from one person [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] and from 150 years old (!) book. There is no notability. Nobody after cares about it. There are no "tonal system community" or "people that are using tonal system" - tonal system uses just 1 person and he is trying to misappropriate Bitcoin for this<br />
# Tonal system is not at any way related to Bitcoin. Tonal system is related to numbers representation, not to monetary system. Please keep this page in general Wikipedia or some numeric Wikipedia, not in Bitcoin Wikipedia<br />
# Tonal units are very confusing - from technically point of view (font, writing it) and mainly there is very similar to decimal numbers - there are many cases in which is not clear which system is used. Also TBC is common typing error of BTC<br />
:'''Also I propose remove all notation about tonal from other wiki pages''', for example [[Units]] (very confusing), [[History]], [[Wallet protocol]] or [[Vocabulary]], and prevent them from reverting back (as happened several times). At least until Luke-jr (or someone else) find notable cites to keeping it here. [[User:Aleš Janda|Aleš Janda]] ([[User talk:Aleš Janda|talk]]) 19:44, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
<br />
Luke-jr comment to voting: This is for discussion, not trolling. Note that this is not an encyclopedia, and does not have any "notability" requirements. If you don't want to use Tonal, don't. Trolling is not acceptable and will be deleted. Reasoned criticism is welcome in the "Criticism" section of the page.<br />
<br />
:What exactly from this discussion is "trolling"? I think you regard as trolling ANY critism. Don't clear discussion. Also, "Criticism" section is not good place to talk.

I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />
The page could be renamed somthing like "describing and writing amounts of BTC using Tonal numbers"<br />
<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />

<div>Stop trolling the wiki --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] ([[User talk:Luke-jr|talk]]) 20:51, 19 September 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
:Do you mean '''[[Tonal Bitcoin]]'''? No, this is no trolling. I'm only trying to make better wiki. Please, keep calm and let me explain it:<br />
<br />
:Tonal Bitcoin has lot of problems. Template "Delete" was there first time putted 1,5 years ago (not by me). There is discuss on wiki, in which ALL votes and opinions are against Tonal Bitcoin. I searched the Internet and I don't found any person using Tonal system (or being interested in it). Except you, of course.<br />
<br />
:Personally, I don't have nothing against tonal system itself, it's quite interesting from historical and technical point of view (although I would prefer counting in base 12 rather than 16 - it's better divisible in real world). Definitely, it have place in common Wikipedia. But how the hell is tonal system related to bitcoin? There are completely different things, why you don't promote tonal dollar, tonal euro or tonal counting of common things? I don't see any pages about it. Why just bitcoin is so different?<br />
<br />
:This is why tonal bitcoin on wiki is bad. 100% of people are confusing, 0% are happy.<br />
<br />
:I love bitcoin. From technical and economic reason. I think bitcoin has a future. I try to promote bitcoin, mostly in my country, write articles and try to put informations to people. Not forcing using them but everybody should know in which is bitcoin different and why. People should think about it. And then eventually decide to use bitcoin. To decide, they must have more informations and wiki is great for it.<br />
<br />
:But how I can recommend them wiki when is messed with off-topic things? Bitcoin itself is difficult enough, when we have add unrelated topics on it (in which isn't instantly clear that they are unrelated), we will have more confusing people. This isn't good for anybody. Nor for you.<br />
<br />
:I know, you love tonal system (for some reason) and you have something to do with bitcoin, so you are trying put your ideals to it. Even when there are unrelated projects. Even when everybody are against it. Even when it confusing new people. I respect your work on bitcoin, and - without a doubt - generally you are for bitcoin more useful person than me, but this is really, really bad thing.<br />
<br />
:Please, stop promote tonal system on Bitcoin wiki. Respect opinion of ALL people. Don't do it just because your ego. Do some fan page for tonal system, converters etc. but don't use bitcoin for promoting. Just until tonal system wouldn't widely used. It's very, very confusing and it damages the wiki.<br />

<hr />
<div>The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />

<hr />
<div>The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />
The page could be renamed somthing like "describing and writing amounts of BTC using Tonal numbers"<br />
<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />
<br />
--[[User:Ziv|Ziv]]<br />
<br />
==Voting about deleting page==<br />
<br />
I also think this page should be deleted. There are at least three people suggesting this now, so I will re-add the delete tag to the page. So far there seems to be only one objection to the delete. I will initiate voting on this talk page. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:48, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
* '''Delete''' - I believe this tonal suggestion will only do harm to the bitcoin project, and so far the only person advocating it is luke-jr, who rarely gives any rational reasons that I nor anyone else AFAIK can understand. Sorry luke-jr, but I'm doing my best to get you to explain the benefits. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:52, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' - I've been lurking for a while, but I registered after seeing this nonsense here. Clearly if luke-jr is simply (and rather immaturely) blanking the discussion rather than responding to the specific points he has few arguments to marshal in his favor. --[[User:Zyzygy|Zyzygy]] ([[User talk:Zyzygy|talk]]) 05:14, 26 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' along with all other references to this bullshit one man show in history, firsts and maybe other places. It serves no other thing than to Luke's ego. Why should the wiki as a whole support this? Apparently he realized that he can't win with arguments as he just deleted this very discussion. --[[User:Giszmo|Giszmo]] ([[User talk:Giszmo|talk]]) 15:41, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' because:<br />
# nobody knows it - it seems that all sources are from one person [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] and from 150 years old (!) book. There is no notability. Nobody after cares about it. There are no "tonal system community" or "people that are using tonal system" - tonal system uses just 1 person and he is trying to misappropriate Bitcoin for this<br />
# Tonal system is not at any way related to Bitcoin. Tonal system is related to numbers representation, not to monetary system. Please keep this page in general Wikipedia or some numeric Wikipedia, not in Bitcoin Wikipedia<br />
# Tonal units are very confusing - from technically point of view (font, writing it) and mainly there is very similar to decimal numbers - there are many cases in which is not clear which system is used. Also TBC is common typing error of BTC<br />
:'''Also I propose remove all notation about tonal from other wiki pages''', for example [[Units]] (very confusing), [[History]], [[Wallet protocol]] or [[Vocabulary]], and prevent them from reverting back (as happened several times). At least until Luke-jr (or someone else) find notable cites to keeping it here. [[User:Aleš Janda|Aleš Janda]] ([[User talk:Aleš Janda|talk]]) 19:44, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
<br />
Luke-jr comment to voting: This is for discussion, not trolling. Note that this is not an encyclopedia, and does not have any "notability" requirements. If you don't want to use Tonal, don't. Trolling is not acceptable and will be deleted. Reasoned criticism is welcome in the "Criticism" section of the page.<br />
<br />
:What exactly from this discussion is "trolling"? I think you regard as trolling ANY critism. Don't clear discussion. Also, "Criticism" section is not good place to talk.

<hr />
<div>The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />

I think this page needs a much clearer explanation of what is being documented and would be better if it had a more descriptive name.<br />
<br />

<br />
How about replacing the first couple of sentances with<br />
<br />
"Currently most people who use bitcoin use decimal numbers to represent amounts of money. That means numbers using the digits 0 to 9. All known bitcoin software displays amounts of currency to user with decimal numbers.<br />
<br />
Luke-jr thinks that there are people out there use a base 16 number system, he is probably right in the sense that it is correct to say that some people speak Latin because there are a few hundred people on the planet who speak Latin fluently.<br />
<br />
This page is a proposal for a way that people who use a base 16 number system called the 'tonal system' could talk about or write down amounts of BTC.<br />
<br />
This is about as useful as a book about making chocolate teapots written in esperanto. There is no evidence that anyone other than Luke-jr has ever used non-decimal numbers for bitcoin."<br />

Tonal Bitcoin is a representation of the Bitcoin network aimed toward providing a use-case for adoption of Bitcoin to people who prefer the Tonal number system.<br />
This is an alternative to the decimal and metric system, which improves usability by allowing for infinite binary division (note that Bitcoin protocol support is still finite).<br />
For more information on the Tonal system in general, please see [http://www.lulu.com/product/file-download/tonal-system/10991091 the book].<br />
<br />
Please note, that all numbers of TBC and its divisions/multipliers are written in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonal_System Tonal], not decimal.<br />
This means that instead of counting 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-- you count: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, , 9, , , , , , 10. Some higher-value digits may require installing a [http://luke.dashjr.org/education/tonal/glyphs/fonts/ font].<br />

The total number of Tonal Bitcoins ever (analogous to the 21mil BTC in decimal representation) is just over 7.75059 tam-bitcoin.<br />
<br />
== Compatible Clients ==<br />
<br />
While all Bitcoin clients will correctly approximate values in decimal bitcoin, actual Tonal compatibility is sparse.<br />
<br />
* [[Spesmilo]], despite its name, can be configured to display TBC<br />
<br />
== Guessing TBC or BTC ==<br />
<br />
Given variable 'value' in base units (uBTCents/TBCᵇ), one can guess whether it is properly Decimal Bitcoin or Tonal Bitcoin with the following pseudo-code:<br />
<br />
if ( ! ( this % 0x10000 ) )<br />
Choose Tonal Bitcoin<br />
if ( ! ( this % 1000000 ) )<br />
Choose Decimal Bitcoin<br />
if ( ! ( this % 0x100 ) )<br />
Choose Tonal Bitcoin<br />
<br />

<br />
== Criticism ==<br />
<br />
=== Hexadecimal could be done without new fonts as characters ===<br />
<br />
The tonal notation requires extra fonts. Within the programming community there is a widely accepted convention for hexadecimal notation: use A-F for the higher order digits. Thus, one counts 0,1,2,3, ... , 9,A,B,C,D,E,F,10,11 .... There are even two conventions, (which are lacking in tonal notation) for distinguishing a base-16 number from a decimal. The C convention prefixes 0x and the Motorola convention suffixes h. So, the number san, 256 (decimal) would be written 0x100 or 100h. In tonal notation, it would only be written 100, and thus potentially confused with decimal 100 which is 0x64, though this confusion is less of a problem for Bitcoin since the context is always explicit (SI/BTC vs Tonal/TBC units).<br />
<br />
Thus hexadecimal notation accomplishes most of the same goals as tonal notation, at least for Bitcoin, with no requirement for changing fonts, thus is more suited to wider usage. Further the prefix and suffix conventions lead to less ambiguity within the tonal community.<br />
<br />
However, the goal of Tonal Bitcoin is to bring Bitcoin to Tonal, not to redefine Tonal or advocate change to the number system itself, so this is out of scope.<br />
<br />
=== Not relevant to Bitcoin ===<br />
<br />
Contrary to common myth, Bitcoin is not all about anonymity (and in fact, Bitcoin is *not* even anonymous itself).<br />
Most people in the world don't care about anonymity, and Bitcoin would never get off the ground if it had a niche one-issue purpose.<br />
Bitcoin is many things to many people, and not everyone has the same ideals or goals in mind.<br />
For people who use the Tonal number system, Bitcoin's ability to adapt to it is a "killer feature", and gives them reason to prefer it over their local fiat currencies.</div>Aleš Jandahttps://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Category:History&diff=31080Category:History2012-09-20T21:50:38Z<p>Aleš Janda: adding London Conference + sources</p>

<hr />
<div>The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />
<br />
==Voting about deleting page==<br />
<br />
I also think this page should be deleted. There are at least three people suggesting this now, so I will re-add the delete tag to the page. So far there seems to be only one objection to the delete. I will initiate voting on this talk page. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:48, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
* '''Delete''' - I believe this tonal suggestion will only do harm to the bitcoin project, and so far the only person advocating it is luke-jr, who rarely gives any rational reasons that I nor anyone else AFAIK can understand. Sorry luke-jr, but I'm doing my best to get you to explain the benefits. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:52, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' - I've been lurking for a while, but I registered after seeing this nonsense here. Clearly if luke-jr is simply (and rather immaturely) blanking the discussion rather than responding to the specific points he has few arguments to marshal in his favor. --[[User:Zyzygy|Zyzygy]] ([[User talk:Zyzygy|talk]]) 05:14, 26 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' along with all other references to this bullshit one man show in history, firsts and maybe other places. It serves no other thing than to Luke's ego. Why should the wiki as a whole support this? Apparently he realized that he can't win with arguments as he just deleted this very discussion. --[[User:Giszmo|Giszmo]] ([[User talk:Giszmo|talk]]) 15:41, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' because:<br />
# nobody knows it - it seems that all sources are from one person [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] and from 150 years old (!) book. There is no notability. Nobody after cares about it. There are no "tonal system community" or "people that are using tonal system" - tonal system uses just 1 person and he is trying to misappropriate Bitcoin for this<br />
# Tonal system is not at any way related to Bitcoin. Tonal system is related to numbers representation, not to monetary system. Please keep this page in general Wikipedia or some numeric Wikipedia, not in Bitcoin Wikipedia<br />
# Tonal units are very confusing - from technically point of view (font, writing it) and mainly there is very similar to decimal numbers - there are many cases in which is not clear which system is used. Also TBC is common typing error of BTC<br />
:'''Also I propose remove all notation about tonal from other wiki pages''', for example [[Units]] (very confusing), [[History]], [[Wallet protocol]] or [[Vocabulary]], and prevent them from reverting back (as happened several times). At least until Luke-jr (or someone else) find notable cites to keeping it here. [[User:Aleš Janda|Aleš Janda]] ([[User talk:Aleš Janda|talk]]) 19:44, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
<br />
Luke-jr comment to voting: This is for discussion, not trolling. Note that this is not an encyclopedia, and does not have any "notability" requirements. If you don't want to use Tonal, don't. Trolling is not acceptable and will be deleted. Reasoned criticism is welcome in the "Criticism" section of the page.<br />
<br />

Tonal Bitcoin is a representation of the Bitcoin network aimed toward providing a use-case for adoption of Bitcoin to people who prefer the Tonal number system.<br />
This is an alternative to the decimal and metric system, which improves usability by allowing for infinite binary division (note that Bitcoin protocol support is still finite).<br />
For more information on the Tonal system in general, please see [http://www.lulu.com/product/file-download/tonal-system/10991091 the book].<br />
<br />
Please note, that all numbers of TBC and its divisions/multipliers are written in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonal_System Tonal], not decimal.<br />
This means that instead of counting 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-- you count: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, , 9, , , , , , 10. Some higher-value digits may require installing a [http://luke.dashjr.org/education/tonal/glyphs/fonts/ font].<br />

== Criticism ==<br />
<br />
=== Hexadecimal could be done without new fonts as characters ===<br />
<br />
The tonal notation requires extra fonts. Within the programming community there is a widely accepted convention for hexadecimal notation: use A-F for the higher order digits. Thus, one counts 0,1,2,3, ... , 9,A,B,C,D,E,F,10,11 .... There are even two conventions, (which are lacking in tonal notation) for distinguishing a base-16 number from a decimal. The C convention prefixes 0x and the Motorola convention suffixes h. So, the number san, 256 (decimal) would be written 0x100 or 100h. In tonal notation, it would only be written 100, and thus potentially confused with decimal 100 which is 0x64, though this confusion is less of a problem for Bitcoin since the context is always explicit (SI/BTC vs Tonal/TBC units).<br />
<br />
Thus hexadecimal notation accomplishes most of the same goals as tonal notation, at least for Bitcoin, with no requirement for changing fonts, thus is more suited to wider usage. Further the prefix and suffix conventions lead to less ambiguity within the tonal community.<br />
<br />
However, the goal of Tonal Bitcoin is to bring Bitcoin to Tonal, not to redefine Tonal or advocate change to the number system itself, so this is out of scope.<br />
<br />
=== Not relevant to Bitcoin ===<br />
<br />
Contrary to common myth, Bitcoin is not all about anonymity (and in fact, Bitcoin is *not* even anonymous itself).<br />
Most people in the world don't care about anonymity, and Bitcoin would never get off the ground if it had a niche one-issue purpose.<br />
Bitcoin is many things to many people, and not everyone has the same ideals or goals in mind.<br />
For people who use the Tonal number system, Bitcoin's ability to adapt to it is a "killer feature", and gives them reason to prefer it over their local fiat currencies.</div>Aleš Jandahttps://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Ale%C5%A1_Janda&diff=31069User talk:Aleš Janda2012-09-20T17:46:21Z<p>Aleš Janda: reply to Luke-jr</p>

<div>Stop trolling the wiki --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] ([[User talk:Luke-jr|talk]]) 20:51, 19 September 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
:Do you mean '''[[Tonal Bitcoin]]'''? No, this is no trolling. I'm only trying to make better wiki. Please, keep calm and let me explain it:<br />
<br />
:Tonal Bitcoin has lot of problems. Template "Delete" was there first time putted 1,5 years ago (not by me). There is discuss on wiki, in which ALL votes and opinions are against Tonal Bitcoin. I searched the Internet and I don't found any person using Tonal system (or being interested in it). Except you, of course.<br />
<br />
:Personally, I don't have nothing against tonal system itself, it's quite interesting from historical and technical point of view (although I would prefer counting in base 12 rather than 16 - it's better divisible in real world). Definitely, it have place in common Wikipedia. But how the hell is tonal system related to bitcoin? There are completely different things, why you don't promote tonal dollar, tonal euro or tonal counting of common things? I don't see any pages about it. Why just bitcoin is so different?<br />
<br />
:This is why tonal bitcoin on wiki is bad. 100% of people are confusing, 0% are happy.<br />
<br />
:I love bitcoin. From technical and economic reason. I think bitcoin has a future. I try to promote bitcoin, mostly in my country, write articles and try to put informations to people. Not forcing using them but everybody should know in which is bitcoin different and why. People should think about it. And then eventually decide to use bitcoin. To decide, they must have more informations and wiki is great for it.<br />
<br />
:But how I can recommend them wiki when is messed with off-topic things? Bitcoin itself is difficult enough, when we have add unrelated topics on it (in which isn't instantly clear that they are unrelated), we will have more confusing people. This isn't good for anybody. Nor for you.<br />
<br />
:I know, you love tonal system (for some reason) and you have something to do with bitcoin, so you are trying put your ideals to it. Even when there are unrelated projects. Even when everybody are against it. Even when it confusing new people. I respect your work on bitcoin, and - without a doubt - generally you are for bitcoin more useful person than me, but this is really, really bad thing.<br />
<br />
:Please, stop promote tonal system on Bitcoin wiki. Respect opinion of ALL people. Don't do it just because your ego. Do some fan page for tonal system, converters etc. but don't use bitcoin for promoting. Just until tonal system wouldn't widely used. It's very, very confusing and it damages the wiki.<br />
<br />

<div>The point of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized peer to peer currency. <br />
That is the novelty about Bitcoin; the novelty is NOT that it comes along with a funky new way of counting things.<br />
So please stop using Bitcoin to promote your own agenda ; this is just going to confuse people.<br />
If you want to introduce a new method for counting currency, I suggest you go talk to the FED and propose the Tonal Dollar, or whatever.<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 14:33, 20 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
* If Bitcoin has only one purpose, then it will never succeed. There are about as many people that care about a "decentralized peer to peer currency" as there are that care about Tonal. If you want BitCoin to succeed, you should support as many (legal) reasons to use it as possible. Also, whether it's ever enforced or not, vandalism and trolling should be bannable offenses. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 04:43, 21 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This page should be deleted.<br />
Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />
<br />
==Voting about deleting page==<br />
<br />
I also think this page should be deleted. There are at least three people suggesting this now, so I will re-add the delete tag to the page. So far there seems to be only one objection to the delete. I will initiate voting on this talk page. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:48, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
* '''Delete''' - I believe this tonal suggestion will only do harm to the bitcoin project, and so far the only person advocating it is luke-jr, who rarely gives any rational reasons that I nor anyone else AFAIK can understand. Sorry luke-jr, but I'm doing my best to get you to explain the benefits. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:52, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' - I've been lurking for a while, but I registered after seeing this nonsense here. Clearly if luke-jr is simply (and rather immaturely) blanking the discussion rather than responding to the specific points he has few arguments to marshal in his favor. --[[User:Zyzygy|Zyzygy]] ([[User talk:Zyzygy|talk]]) 05:14, 26 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' along with all other references to this bullshit one man show in history, firsts and maybe other places. It serves no other thing than to Luke's ego. Why should the wiki as a whole support this? Apparently he realized that he can't win with arguments as he just deleted this very discussion. --[[User:Giszmo|Giszmo]] ([[User talk:Giszmo|talk]]) 15:41, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' because:<br />
# nobody knows it - it seems that all sources are from one person [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] and from 150 years old (!) book. There is no notability. Nobody after cares about it. There are no "tonal system community" or "people that are using tonal system" - tonal system uses just 1 person and he is trying to misappropriate Bitcoin for this<br />
# Tonal system is not at any way related to Bitcoin. Tonal system is related to numbers representation, not to monetary system. Please keep this page in general Wikipedia or some numeric Wikipedia, not in Bitcoin Wikipedia<br />
# Tonal units are very confusing - from technically point of view (font, writing it) and mainly there is very similar to decimal numbers - there are many cases in which is not clear which system is used. Also TBC is common typing error of BTC<br />
:'''Also I propose remove all notation about tonal from other wiki pages''', for example [[Units]] (very confusing), [[History]], [[Wallet protocol]] or [[Vocabulary]], and prevent them from reverting back (as happened several times). At least until Luke-jr (or someone else) find notable cites to keeping it here. [[User:Aleš Janda|Aleš Janda]] ([[User talk:Aleš Janda|talk]]) 19:44, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
<br />
<br />
Luke-jr comment to voting: This is for discussion, not trolling. Note that this is not an encyclopedia, and does not have any "notability" requirements. If you don't want to use Tonal, don't. Trolling is not acceptable and will be deleted. Reasoned criticism is welcome in the "Criticism" section of the page.<br />
<br />
:What exactly from this discussion is "trolling"? I think you regard as trolling ANY critism. Don't clear discussion. Also, "Criticism" section is not good place to talk.

Nothing against Tonal, if there was a Hexadecimal Bitcoin or an Octal Bitcoin I would suggest those get deleted, too.<br />
* Seconded. Tonal is not a key part of bitcoin, and currently not used in any form. If there is a reasonable number of users using tonal, then I would have no objections against this page. [[User:Mqrius|Mqrius]] 05:11, 2 February 2012 (GMT)<br />

This is silly. I thought you'd removed this already, but it's seeping across to other pages despite me never seeing it in the wild. It serves only to confuse [[User:Gigitrix|Gigitrix]] 01:41, 13 June 2011 (GMT)<br />

I agree with Gavin that this page should be deleted. Regardless of my personal opinion or the technical merits of tonal v. decimal, it's fair to say that tonal attracts scorn and ridicule from the vast majority of the population if they hear about it. Bitcoin's reputation suffers from the association. [[User:ByteCoin|ByteCoin]] 24 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
* It's not fair to say that, no. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 00:45, 25 June 2011 (GMT)<br />

I have no legitimate stake in the matter, I made a few edits that I hope remove POV and still embrace the idea of Tonal Bitcoin. This is Raize, I am sorry I am not familiar enough with wiki editing to provide my signature. --[[User:Raize|Raize]]<br />

==Voting about deleting page==<br />
<br />
I also think this page should be deleted. There are at least three people suggesting this now, so I will re-add the delete tag to the page. So far there seems to be only one objection to the delete. I will initiate voting on this talk page. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:48, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
* '''Delete''' - I believe this tonal suggestion will only do harm to the bitcoin project, and so far the only person advocating it is luke-jr, who rarely gives any rational reasons that I nor anyone else AFAIK can understand. Sorry luke-jr, but I'm doing my best to get you to explain the benefits. --[[User:Rebroad|Rebroad]] 22:52, 20 March 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' - I've been lurking for a while, but I registered after seeing this nonsense here. Clearly if luke-jr is simply (and rather immaturely) blanking the discussion rather than responding to the specific points he has few arguments to marshal in his favor. --[[User:Zyzygy|Zyzygy]] ([[User talk:Zyzygy|talk]]) 05:14, 26 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' along with all other references to this bullshit one man show in history, firsts and maybe other places. It serves no other thing than to Luke's ego. Why should the wiki as a whole support this? Apparently he realized that he can't win with arguments as he just deleted this very discussion. --[[User:Giszmo|Giszmo]] ([[User talk:Giszmo|talk]]) 15:41, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />
*'''Delete''' because:<br />
# nobody knows it - it seems that all sources are from one person [[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] and from 150 years old (!) book. There is no notability. Nobody after cares about it. There are no "tonal system community" or "people that are using tonal system" - tonal system uses just 1 person and he is trying to misappropriate Bitcoin for this<br />
# Tonal system is not at any way related to Bitcoin. Tonal system is related to numbers representation, not to monetary system. Please keep this page in general Wikipedia or some numeric Wikipedia, not in Bitcoin Wikipedia<br />
# Tonal units are very confusing - from technically point of view (font, writing it) and mainly there is very similar to decimal numbers - there are many cases in which is not clear which system is used. Also TBC is common typing error of BTC<br />
:'''Also I propose remove all notation about tonal from other wiki pages''', for example [[Units]] (very confusing), [[History]], [[Wallet protocol]] or [[Vocabulary]], and prevent them from reverting back (as happened several times). At least until Luke-jr (or someone else) find notable cites to keeping it here. [[User:Aleš Janda|Aleš Janda]] ([[User talk:Aleš Janda|talk]]) 19:44, 27 August 2012 (GMT)<br />

Luke-jr comment to voting: This is for discussion, not trolling. Note that this is not an encyclopedia, and does not have any "notability" requirements. If you don't want to use Tonal, don't. Trolling is not acceptable and will be deleted. Reasoned criticism is welcome in the "Criticism" section of the page.<br />
<br />
:What exactly from this discussion is "trolling"? I think you regard as trolling ANY critism. Don't clear discussion. Also, "Criticism" section is not good place to talk. [[User:Aleš Janda|Aleš Janda]] ([[User talk:Aleš Janda|talk]]) 09:16, 19 September 2012 (GMT)</div>Aleš Janda
