<div>[[Image:Bitcoin Original Client.png|thumb|350px|right|The bitcoin original client]]<br />
<br />
The '''Original Bitcoin client''' is the first [[bitcoin]] client in the network's history. It is also the official client of the bitcoin project. It's available under the [http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php MIT license] for Windows, 32 and 64-bit GNU/Linux-based OSes and Mac OS X.<br />
<br />
The client comes with two executables, a GUI and an command line interface (CLI).<br />
<br />
== Executables ==<br />
See [[Running_Bitcoin|running bitcoin]] for more detail and an example of the configuration file.<br />
=== Bitcoin (GUI) ===<br />
<br />
The bitcoin GUI provides an easy to use wxWidgets-based interface. It allows to send coins and to monitor:<br />
* transactions from and to the opened wallet<br />
* block creations<br />
* confirmations of transactions<br />
* balance of the wallet<br />
<br />
=== Bitcoind (CLI) ===<br />
<br />
Bitcoind is both a headless daemon and a client for the same daemon. It also provides a JSON-RPC interface, allowing it to be controlled locally (via bitcoind or another CLI client) or remotely. [[Original Bitcoin client/API Calls list|Various commands]] are made available by the API.<br />
<br />
To use locally, first start the program in daemon mode:<br />
:bitcoind -daemon<br />
<br />
<br />
Then you can use the same program to execute [[Original Bitcoin client/API Calls list|API commands]], e.g.:<br />
:bitcoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true<br />
:bitcoind getbalance<br />
<br />
To stop the bitcoin daemon, execute:<br />
:bitcoind stop<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
==Theory of Operation==<br />
<br />
Satoshi's Original Bitcoin client is a multithreaded C++ program. It is designed to be portable across Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. The multithreaded aspect leads to some complexity and the use of certain code patterns to deal with concurrency that may be unfamiliar to many programmers. Also, the code is aggressive in the use of C++ constructs, so it will help to be fluent with map, multmap, set, string, vector, iostream, and templates. As typical of a C++ program, l a lot of code tends to end up in the header files so be sure to search both the .cpp and .h files when looking for a function.<br />
<br />
The client is oriented around several major operations, which are described in separate detailed articles and summarized in the following sections.<br />
<br />
<br />
===[[Satoshi Client Initialization and Startup|Initialization and Startup]]===<br />
Upon startup, the client performs various initilization routines including starting multiple threads to handle concurrent operations.<br />
<br />
===[[Satoshi Client Node Discovery|Node Discovery]]===<br />
The client uses various techniques find out about other bitcoin nodes that may exist.<br />
<br />
===[[Satoshi Client Node Connectivity|Node Connectivity]]===<br />
The client initiates and maintains connections to other nodes.<br />
<br />
===[[Satoshi Client Sockets and Messages|Sockets and Messages]]===<br />
The client processes messages from other nodes and sends messages to other nodes using socket connections.<br />
<br />
===[[Satoshi Client Block Exchange|Block Exchange]]===<br />
Nodes advertise their inventory of blocks to each other and exchange blocks to build block chains.<br />
<br />
===[[Satoshi Client Transaction Exchange|Transaction Exchange]]===<br />
Nodes exchange and relay transactions with each other. The client associates transactions with bitcoin addresses in the local wallet.<br />
<br />
===Wallet Services===<br />
The client can create transactions using the local wallet. The client associates transactions with bitcoin addresses in the local wallet. The client provides a service for managing the local wallet.<br />
<br />
===RPC Interface===<br />
The client offers an JSON-RPC interface over HTTP over sockets to perform various operational functions and to manage the local wallet.<br />
<br />
===User Interface===<br />
The user interface code is currently based on [http://www.wxwidgets.org wxWidgets] and is scheduled to be superseded by [[Bitcoin-qt]] in version 0.5.0. <br />

<hr />
<div>Bitcoin Plus is a [[Browser Bitcoin Miner]] written in Java. The miner is initiated by the end user, but is also embeddable in webpages, much like [[Bitp.it]]<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
<br />
The user registers an account, then is prompted to start mining. Mining is paid on a pay-per-share basis, with 3% taken by the pool operators. The site suggests that users invite their friends to mine with them, and allows users to embed java miners on their websites to create a [[Distributed Miners|Distributed Miner]].<br />
<br />
The UI provides features which seem to be exclusive to the site, such as a prediction of the time it will take to calculate one share.<br />
<br />
This miner is a [[Cpu Miner]]<br />

<hr />
<div>The Bitcoin Forum is a message board where people interested in the technical details and the development of Bitcoin software can talk to each other. The forum also has places for people who are interested in bitcoin [[:Category:Mining|mining]], in trading with bitcoin, and in the economics of Bitcoin.<br />
<br />
The forum is owned by [[Sirius]]. It is administrated by [[:User:Theymos|theymos]], Sirius, and [[:User:Gavinandresen|Gavin]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Before the creation of the current Bitcoin Forum, Satoshi used a SourceForge forum. When Sirius provided hosting, the forum was moved to bitcoin.org/smf. Satoshi made several custom modifications to the forum software and theme.<br />
<br />
The forum was at some point moved to forum.bitcoin.org. The bitcoin.org domain name was also transferred from Satoshi to Sirius.<br />
<br />
In July, 2011 the forum was moved to bitcointalk.org in order to make it explicitly unofficial. The "forum" link on the bitcoin.org homepage now simply returns the Google search results for the search terms "bitcoin forums". This was followed by Bitcoin Community members, very much in bitcoin's spirit of decentralisation, creating a number of alternative forums offering different moderatorial policies and using different software platforms.<br />
<br />
Satoshi's first non-test post on the forum:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><p>I left the admin account set to the original SMF theme so if I somehow completely wedge the custom theme I can still get in to fix it.</p><br />
<br />
<p>I've got a neat little 12x12 coin image to replace those pip stars with. Should look nice. Also some nice button images to try.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The registration page has "hide your e-mail address" unchecked by default. I must fix that in php before we can open up.</p><br />
<br />
<p>The Announcements forum is currently moderator access only.</p></blockquote><br />

<hr />
<div>BitChanger is a user-to-user, auction based currency exchange. Sellers list their currency on the site, buyers will bid on the currency. The winning bidder is the highest bidder when the auction ends. All transactions are facilitated between buyer and seller. This eliminates the need for charging a fee and enables BitCoin users to take full control of their coins.<br />
<br />
<span style="color:red;">This is a fairly new exchange. The exchange does not use basic security (https) when authenticating, causing passwords to be sent across the internet in clear text.</span><br />
<br />
===About===<br />
This works similar to an exchange like Mt Gox or Tradehill, but you get to choose from whom you buy or sell. This also establishes a reputation system so that your transactions are secure. You can leave feedback for each user in the transaction to let others know who to trust.<br />
<br />
The auction system is run by the members. If you are selling currency, you are able to set how long you wish to leave your listing active. You can also choose a buy-it-now option. Upon check-out, the winning bidder will be given a BitCoin receiving address (or whatever payment method was chosen to use to fund the transaction.)<br />
<br />
==Buying==<br />
Register an account at Bitchanger (browse for currency to buy) and select the currency you wish to purchase. Place a bid on the selected currency and wait for the auction to end. Once the auction has ended and the user has successfully won the currency auction, they will be presented with various payment options based on the currency. Complete the payment, once it has cleared the seller will release the funds. <br />
===BTC===<br />
<br />
* Adding bitcoins to the account balance incur no fees. Funds are available for trading once the payment confirms.<br />
<br />
===USD===<br />
* [[Dwolla]] (instant, $0.25 fee that you pay to Dwolla during transfer)<br />
* [[PayPal]] (use your Paypal balance to fund your BitCoin transactions; use with caution)<br />
* [[Liberty Reserve]] USD (instant, 1% fee that you pay to LR during transfer)<br />
* Bank Transfer (Domestic wire)<br />
* International wire (to EU bank)<br />
<br />
===Other Currency===<br />
<br />
* Same as listed above<br />
<br />
==Selling==<br />
Register an account at Bitchanger ’List Your Currency‘ you want to sell. Enter the specific details of your sale. Make sure to list the date and time you wish the auction to end, in the right hand corner of the auction editor (or use the buy-it-now feature.) Wait for the auction to end and then the winning bidder will be presented the BitCoin address the user entered when they registered (or it can be edited in their profile.) When a payment is received, the user releases their funds!<br />
<br />
===BTC===<br />
<br />
* The only fee associated with withdrawing BitCoin are ones issued by the network itself. You can use any method to fund your payment (client; e-wallet)<br />
<br />
===USD===<br />
<br />
* [[Dwolla]] Incurs Dwolla's $0.25 per-transaction fee.<br />
* [[Paypal]] Depends on size of transaction<br />
* [[Liberty Reserve]] (Fees 2%)<br />
* Bank transfer (ACH)<br />
* International bank transfer (USD converted to EUR and sent via SEPA transfer to EU banks)<br />
<br />
===Other Currency===<br />
<br />
* Same as above<br />
<br />
==Trading==<br />
<br />
Any fraudulent activity will result in immediate account suspension. Users are responsible for reporting any violations or suspect activity. Security issues will be dealt with swiftly. <br />
<br />
===Fees===<br />
<br />
Trades on the exchange incur no fees, unless required by the payment gateway. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The exchange was announced on July 15th, to compete with the other anonymous exchanges. <br />

<div>BitPenny was the first [[Pooled mining|mining pool]] to introduce a fixed-rate, instant-payout model. The service discontinued service indefinitely as-of April 2, 2011<ref>[http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=3266.msg78042#msg78042 Re: Instant-Payout Mining - BitPenny.com]</ref>.<br />
<br />
Each share submitted to BitPenny was worth a fixed (based on current [[Difficulty|difficulty]]) amount of bitcoins. The user's account was credited immediately upon submission, and the balance was instantly available for withdrawal from the [http://www.bitpenny.com BitPenny website]. This approach shifted the risks associated with bad luck, cheating, and transaction-reversal [[Weaknesses|attacks]] from the user to the pool operator, resulting in a virtually zero-variance payout curve.<br />
<br />
The service was operated for-profit and thus self-insured against variances.<ref>[http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=3266.0 Instant-Payout Mining - BitPenny.com]</ref>.<br />
<br />
The service was first available for beta testing starting February 08, 2011. The second round of testing began on March 2nd, 2011.<br />

<div>== Currency code ==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Currency sign ==<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
[[File:Example-unicode-reference-currency-signs.png|256px|thumb|right|Examples of Unicode currency sign reference glyphs]]<br />
<br />
=== New Unicode symbol ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Goal ====<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Requirements and criteria ====<br />
<br />
A reference Bitcoin sign could/should/must be:<br />
* 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)<br />
* not confusing with existing currency sign such as Thai Baht ฿<br />
* 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<br />
* easy to use in handwriting<br />
* 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.)<br />
* ''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.)<br />
* ''possible'' to implement in regular, italic, bold and bold italic (for sans-serif the italic will simply be a slanted version)<br />
* 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<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
==== Submissions====<br />
<br />
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.<br />

=== Existing Unicode symbol ===<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
To type Unicode characters, refer to:<br />

<div>This is a community wiki aimed at allowing the Bitcoin community as a whole to document freely what they feel needs documentation or representation.<br />
<br />
== Internationalization ==<br />
This wiki uses a multi-lingual scheme similar to Wikipedia's, which means a translated article get links to its translation in the menu (in the left column from the [[Main Page]]). <br />
<br />
If you feel one language is missing and are ready to start translating a lot of pages, you can request the creation of the language of your choice by contacting me ([[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]]).<br />

== Backups ==<br />
<br />
Backups are generated daily at 00:00 GMT, and can be downloaded from [https://dump.bitcoin.it/ the backup repository]. Setting up a mirror is easy enough, as many websites explain how to restore a MediaWiki xml dump into a fresh installation.<br />
<br />
== Contact ==<br />
<br />
While I can usually be contacted on [irc://irc.freenode.net/bitcoin-dev irc], you can also write me an [mailto:contact@bitcoin.it e-mail]. Please avoid contacting me to ask questions already answered on this wiki.<br />
<br />
== License ==<br />
<br />
When Bitcoin.it wiki was opened (on December 16th 2010), the initial license was [[wikipedia:WTFPL|WTFPL]]. It has been brought up that CC-by would be more appropriate as content from the previous wiki is under CC-by.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Proposed Listing Standards==<br />
I propose the following standards be required for listing on the [Trade]. The listed site must<br />
# Be currently functional (downtime of less than 48 hours is acceptable)<br />
# Be currently accepting bitcoins<br />
# Have clear instructions for paying with bitcoins from the link given<br />
# Prices must be sane within an order of magnitude (non-sane prices indicate that the website has not been updated to match bitcoin deflation)<br />
The standards will help keep the list manageable and easy to use.<br />
<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
: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)<br />
<br />
Sounds reasonable. --[[User:Sirius|Sirius]] 07:09, 23 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
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?<br />
[[User:JulianTosh|JulianTosh]] 00:19, 10 May 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
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.<br />
[[User:Berend|Berend]] 21:21, 2 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
I suggest we vote on this. Vendors who have hidden the fact they accept bitcoin extremely well (try finding it on Orbixx's site) do not deserve to be listed here. We could create a separate page for them (i.e. unverifiable entries). [[User:Berend|Berend]] 22:24, 11 August 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I agree that a site that accepts bitcoin must Clearly Say So on any page that mentions payment options, and their front/landing page. Any site that does not say so Up Front, should not be listed as Accepting Bitcoin. How do you verify that they accept bitcoin until you've already selected a product/service, and gone to the checkout page, and Finally see an option for using Bitcoin? This is a ridiculous thing to do. If I only have a Mastercard, and I'm on a site that only accepts Visa, I'd be pretty upset to not find that out until I'm already at the checkout page!! Every site I have EVER used to purchase Anything online says, Up Front, what kinds of payment methods they accept. No confusion. [[User:Krepta3000|Krepta3000]] 17:47, 25 August 2011 (MST) <br />

==Should we put addresses on the wiki?==<br />
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)<br />
: Page is now semi-protected. [[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]] 08:28, 16 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
==Hide Contents of Adult?==<br />
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)<br />
<br />
Should be hidden or moved to another page. --[[User:Sirius|Sirius]] 07:05, 23 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
I'm all for censoring it as much as the community will tolerate. --[[User:Luke-jr|Luke-jr]] 13:27, 23 February 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
Against censorship of site links. They should simply be labeled as adult oriented and the vagues possible genre references.<br />
[[User:JulianTosh|JulianTosh]] 00:21, 10 May 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
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<br />
[[User:Berend|Berend]] 21:18, 2 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
The header for the page claims 'Products or services illegal in US or Japan are not fit to be listed here - such links will be removed immediately. Any attempt to get those links up again will result in the account being blocked. This includes pornography and many mind-altering drugs'. As pornography is not actually illegal in Japan or in the US, it should be clarified whether the restriction is the result of an editor attempting to enforce their ideology, a requirement that all porn comply with Japanese censorship regulations (i.e. mosaic over certain body parts - which I suspect fairly few bitcoin-accepting sites actually comply with), or an administrative decision whose force stems from private property rights rather than from .us/.jp law. [[User:Deekoo|Deekoo]] 05:54, 15 August 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
== Drugs Section Empty ==<br />
<br />
The "psychoactives" section appears to consist entirely of dead links. [[User:Ironwolf|Ironwolf]] 03:54, 28 March 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
: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)<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
== What is a Notable Website ==<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
== New section for services that are not considered "Professional services"? ==<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
:i'm a massage therapist wanting to trade bitcoin for massage. what section do i put my services in?<br />
:[[User:zenbunny|zenbunny]] 20:52, 25 May 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
== donation accepting organizasions ==<br />
<br />
perhaps a separate page should be created for them ?<br />
I guess donations do not belong to "trade".<br />
[[User:ThomasV|ThomasV]] 23:17, 5 May 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
: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)<br />
<br />
== Alternative listings for bitcoin-related directory and merchant sites ==<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
* 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)<br />
<br />
[http://payco.in payco.in : bitcoin currency directory] - I've started a links list of my own (I admit I wanted to get my own site, [http://lorna-morgan.com Lorna Morgan], listed somewhere I wouldn't be removed!) I didn't like the design of witcoin ... and Bitcookies seems to be down at the moment. --[[User:Lorna Morgan|Lorna Morgan]] 05:36, 28 July 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
[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)<br />
<br />
== Bloomberg Esque Data Suite: Compiling Transaction info from merchants to measure demand ==<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Require description of changes ==<br />
<br />
It's impossible to read this pages's history, because most people seem to forget to:<br />
- use the "description" line when committing a change<br />
- use the "preview" button, and do several changes in a row just because they forgot the label on a link<br />
<br />
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)<br />
<br />
== Huge chunk of deletions reverted ==<br />
<br />
Hi,<br />
<br />
I've tracked down a huge set of deletions wich was probably done in error, [https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Trade&diff=next&oldid=11252 see link]. I've reverted each deletion individually because otherwise, new entries would have been deleted.<br />
<br />
It's probably necessary to watch out for that. --[[User:Joise|Joise]] 18:55, 29 June 2011 (GMT)<br />
<br />
== Vetting ==<br />
<br />
I realise this is probably a difficult issue &mdash; we don't realistically have the time or work to vet all listed sites &mdash; but should ones which are clearly scams be removed from the wiki page, or should each be discussed first before deletion (perhaps, by moderator staff)?<br />
<br />
For example: <blockquote>[https://sites.google.com/site/wwjdtd/ Time Warp interactive], is a fiction/nonfiction mmorpg that is in alpha and is selling the game only through bitcoins</blockquote>This, to me, is clearly a scam. Going through their Google Sites website (which is the new GeoCities), it becomes clear very quickly that this is not a product that it pretends to be, and is instead just some fly by night website setup by a couple of teenagers in hopes of some free cash from unsuspecting visitors.<br />
<br />
I doubt anybody would actually send any BTC their way anyway, but in my opinion having hoaxes like this damages the credibility and trustworthy of Bitcoin accepting merchants as a whole.<br />
<br />
Could we come up with some way of pruning false merchants like this?<br />
<br />
::I think that links which are very clearly scam should not be promoted. However I see two difficulties:<br />
::# It might be hard to see whether something is simply a low budget project or not serious. <br />
::# What is reputable and what not certainly will vary widely. If you want to promote a bank, I'd likely want another neighborhood than if you just try to sell psychodelically designed pizza containing extremely high concentrations of capsain.<br />
::# The more profound issue is that the not-to-reputable looking enterprises might be exactly the ones which bring the stongest kicks to innovation. I am thinking in the term "garage firm". And obviously grandparents will tell the kids some day that the whole bitcoin economy started with alpaca socks, online poker and fancy glass beads.<br />
<br />
::My proposal: Create a playground / dockland / bitcoinpunk section which can collect the fringe of the fringe. And let largely visitors decide what they are going to trust. --[[User:Joise|Joise]] 19:21, 4 July 2011 (GMT)<br />
