| The description of bitcoin is similiar to wikipedia article.--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 19:53, 16 December 2010 (GMT)
| | {{Archive}}__TOC__ |
| : It seems that the beginning of the introduction was made by Grondilu (french guy who sometimes comes on irc and auctions gold on the forum), see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bitcoin&diff=402269158&oldid=402260422]. Since most of the bitcoin article on wikipedia was put together by the bitcoin community, it shouldn't be too difficult to have them accept publication here. In the meantime I see no harm keeping this for a few days, until we either get explicit authorization, or rewrite it into something more personnal.

| I don't like "the idea of using digital files as money" -- maybe "the idea of using digital information as money" ? 'files' has too specific a meaning in the computer context. Then again, most dollars and euros and other conventional currency are nothing but accounting entries in various databases.--[[User:Gavinandresen|Gavin Andresen]] 16:20, 22 December 2010 (GMT)
| | == Database dumps == |
| : Maybe using with "bits of data"? (it's BITcoin after all). Anyway "files" doesn't seem appropriate... [[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]] 12:25, 23 December 2010 (GMT)
| |
| ::"bits of data" sounds equally weird. I changed it to information. However, is it really information? Information is supposed to be human-readable quantitative data, whereas data is the raw stream... It doesn't fit data or information as it's a solution to a mathematical operation. We could write "the idea of using computed solutions to mathematical problems as money". [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 16:38, 23 December 2010 (GMT)

| MT, can you make the fonts bigger? I can hardly see the fonts for the <source> snippets. Thanks. [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 07:23, 30 December 2010 (GMT)

| : For the source snippets, this can be done by editing [[MediaWiki:Geshi.css]] I guess, use the discussion page there [[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]] 14:59, 31 December 2010 (GMT)

| | :It might be better to just remove it, because such a prominent link on the front page is bound to cause friction with webmasters who want to get their own link added there too.

| There now are wiki URLs here for two languages in addition to English. How do bitcoin wikis for additional languages get started? For example, there are a number of bitcoin users whose primary language is spanish. Bitcoin has a number of German language readers too ... for example [http://www.go-bitcoin.com Go-Bitcoin]].

| This link should be displayed more prominently. Maybe something like: "spend coins". Also "trade" is very misleading because it is easy to think of trading bitcoins on an exchange but not buying goods and services.
