Thanks in advance.
I looked at your translation and it seems it's a literal translation from the english article. I did the same thing - it would be very much a difficult task to create an altogether new version. But I can't judge the quality of your translation since I only speak swedish
let's wait and see if there are still any bounties available ...

Skimming through that translation, it is lacking external links section and categories.

I added External links and also the relevant categories that I found used in the articles of other sw pieces ... I think the article is now more or less useful for new entrants to Bitcoin, who don't have a good reading comprehension in English... That could include my mom.

Hi, it's true that I forgot to put on the external links altogether. Working on the small details makes one forget the larger ones
I added some own contributions at some places, I'll try to see if these spots could be better written on the original English article. Also, wikifying is important, to add some wiki links to various words and concepts. Work-in-progress
At least the amount of translations of the original article is slowly improving!

Thanks for the reward. I hope the english article is improved soon, so I can translate it and get more.

Instead of waiting forever until translations are 100% perfect, which makes no sense since we have a lot to improve in the original English article, I'll start rewarding the bounty now for those who have provided a decent (or better) translation. At the moment, that means everyone. If someone makes further improvements, specially after the English article gets better, and the translation turns out to be a really good article... then it would be time to reward some extra bitcoins.
So, these are the rewards:

Bounty received, thank you. I've rewritten parts of the Swedish article during the weekend, brushed up the references and changed some of the overall structure etc. I've also had some suggestions on how to improve the grammar from two Wikipedians which I think I've dealt with. Hopefully the grammar flag will be removed in the near future.

Personally I found the English article to be quite lacking. I'm not sure you get a good understanding of how exactly Bitcoin actually work from reading it. It also contains a lot of repetitions. I also think the article needs to push the economic aspects a bit more and be a bit more self-critical. Right now it's mostly about the tech, which is, to most people, rather uninteresting.
I have opened this thread to discuss how to improve it (no bounty there).
March 25, 2011, 12:42:09 PM
Yeah, I just noticed. I don't think it's so much the grammar (hopefully) as it is the use of some English expressions and such, which is really hard to avoid when it comes to technology in general. I'll look over the article more closely during the weekend.
Great. So after you review it, you can drop a message in Imperto's Discussion page and ask him to check again. If he has any further objections, he should point you some specific (and reasonable) examples. Otherwise, you (or he) should remove the "{{språkvård||månad=2011-03}}" template and you will be ready to get the bounty.
If you have any doubt about policies or how to interact with other Wikipedia editors, you can ask me, either in this thread or via PM.

Article translated to Swedish by me (http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin). Same username there as here, Zulu.
Looks good from the point of view of references, links, format, markup, categories, etc. Although, I see it's been marked as needed grammar improvements by the user Imperto. So it might need some work yet.

Could you add some relevant categories to the article? Otherwise, looks pretty good!
Added a couple that seemed relevant.

Yes. I didn't expect the translation bounty to take off so quickly. So that these kind of things could be pointed out. We should improve the English article and, probably, start a bounty here for funding a bounty on Wikipedia's Reward Board. That would get some experienced Wikipedians to work on it.
