− | 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.

− | :: In the meantime I have added a "wikipedia" source, thru adhering with the wikipedia CC by-sa license. [[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]] 21:49, 16 December 2010 (GMT)

− | :::Authorisation isn't needed. We're complying with the Wikipedia license by sourcing their work. Shouldn't matter. [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 03:31, 19 December 2010 (GMT)

− | 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) | + | The link to database dumps doesn't work anymore: http://dump.bitcoin.it/. It now redirects to the main page.

− | :::Ok, on second thought, I changed it. [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 16:39, 23 December 2010 (GMT)
| + | :Thanks for telling us. The relevant people have been notified. [[User:Belcher|Belcher]] ([[User talk:Belcher|talk]]) 13:30, 3 September 2018 (UTC) |
