| 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)

| == Header capitalisation ==
| | The link to database dumps doesn't work anymore: http://dump.bitcoin.it/. It now redirects to the main page. [[User:Fturco|Fturco]] ([[User talk:Fturco|talk]]) 08:44, 2 September 2018 (UTC) |

| Please refrain from using Initial Caps in your titles. Use One initial cap; it's the style in current usage.

| For names such as Bitcoin Market, capitalise each letter of the word only for that name

|
| 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)
| | Could it make sense to replace the https://bitcoincharts.com/ link to Statistics with a link to https://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/dashboard/? [[User:Furunodo|Furunodo]] ([[User talk:Furunodo|talk]]) 10:31, 7 June 2020 (UTC) |
| : 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)

| == Myths about Bitcoin page ==
| | :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. It might be better to have a page on the wiki created which teaches people how to get statistics like Difficulty, height of tip, total coins from their own full node.

|
| [[Myths]] needs more love! Not sure what to add there, but lets work on this and put it on the front-page. [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 21:15, 9 January 2011 (GMT)
| | ::Yes, great idea! I started a stub at [[Statistics]]. [[User:Furunodo|Furunodo]] ([[User talk:Furunodo|talk]]) 21:26, 10 June 2020 (UTC) |

| ==Further Languages==
| |
| | |
| 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]]. [[User:sgornick]] 18:01, 8 February 2011 (GMT)

| Would an administrator please remove new users from the recent changes? It generally clogs it up and isn't helpful for editors.

| == Please remove text about Fractional Reserve banking! ==
| |
| | |
| This needs to be removed immediately from the front page: "Be safe from instability caused by fractional reserve banking and central banks. The limited inflation of the Bitcoin system's money supply is distributed evenly (by CPU power) throughout the network, not monopolized by banks."
| |
| | |
| Nothing about Bitcoin has anything to do with Fractional Reserve Banking. Fractional reserve banking will exist with bitcoin. Also, inflation is not limited by any bitcoin algorithm- only the currency supply which are two different things. [[Controlled_Currency_Supply|Please read this article!]]
| |
| | |
| Even if you change "limited '''inflation''' of the Bitcoin system's money supply" to "limited '''increase''' of the Bitcoin system's money supply", it would still be wrong because money supply includes demand deposits which are not limited by Bitcoin. The only thing limited by Bitcoin is the currency supply.
