The more support the better. Building a revolution here.
Hehe, I suspect you're getting a LOT of PM's. There's a lot of budding economists around this place.. xD
Most of the economy theories are just a joke, utilized by banks.
Are they a joke?
Or are they very clever and have been doing exactly as wanted for quite a long time?
OP, I pm'd you.
Most of the economy theories are just a joke, utilized by banks. Swedish central bank even invented a nobel price for those theory that they think will benefit them
A good start is to describe why today's debt based monetary system is flawed

PM me your bio. I'd love to work with you
I'm not entirely sure how you are linking this to mining. My goal is to educate the general public on bitcoin. The only thing this could accomplish would be for more demand for bitcoins thus reducing supply and increasing prices.
I have a degree in economics and I have experience trading been here since 11
I agree the most important thing for bitcoins success is that people in this form get together and do shit, if we don't care they won't. when they don't care you lose yr money
I could teach about trading and staying safe about it
Lol, well you could always assist us in that donation drive.
It's in the works as we speak... Unfortunately, no bites yet... But, not to worry!
Oh miners, where are you? Here's where you can turn you useless GOLD 2.0 bars into useful BTC currency.
It's been fun talking to you
Likewise!

Don't sell yourself short: your project is worth every satoshi of a 50BTC bounty per lecture.
I really hope the community sees that one day, until then we will just have to keep the faith that fellow bitcoiners will see the wisdom in supporting a project that will make bitcoin mainstream. Quote
How much are you willing to pay for producing these types of lectures?
Perhaps there's a miner who would like to cover these costs for you?
(Let's see how much in donations you'll get after this discussion.)

I think a project of this nature should be worth around 1% of the entire bitcoin economy. It will resolve the PR issue bitcoin faces and bring the mainstream into the currency... This project's value in my opinion is of equal importance as the development of the protocol itself.

I would really enjoy suggestions on how we can encourage more people to use btcs as a medium of exchange. If you'd like to record some lectures, then I'd be happy to post them.

Let me know when you get enough in donations to pay at least 50BTC per lecture. (Naturally, this fee will be halved in about 4 year.)

I think a project of this nature should be worth around 1% of the entire bitcoin economy. It will resolve the PR issue bitcoin faces and bring the mainstream into the currency. It will compel corporations to build products that will use bitcoin as a medium of exchange. It will bring in non-profits. It will give small businesses the knowledge necessary to start accepting bitcoin for their products and services. Citizens of countries with unstable currency can start transacting with bitcoins instead of their local money. This project's value in my opinion is of equal importance as the development of the protocol itself.

However, the very first step will always be teaching people the fundamentals of bitcoin.
What's there to teach? Currency is currency — there's nothing more to it than understanding where and how to buy/sell things with/for it. You don't need an economist for that.
But it's the bitcoin miners who actually need a lesson or two on how to turn their freshly-mined bitcoins into BTC without the help of "pump and dump scheme" enthusiasts.
However, something tells me that they would need to open up their pockets sooner or later in order to pay for those lessons.

Only if you can figure out a way to break the hoarding mentality... Right now your focus seems to be on boosting demand for bitcoins, not on spending them as BTC.
Our course mentions bitmit.net and other bitcoin e-commerce websites and will eventually have several lectures to help merchants accept bitcoins. We are actively working at increasing commerce in actual bitcoins.
However, the very first step will always be teaching people the fundamentals of bitcoin. They need to learn how to ride the bike before riding the mountain trails.
I will also mention that we use all BTC donations for services and products sold in BTC. For example btcedproject.org was obtained from orangewebsites.com an icelandic host that sells services in BTC.
Even if you don't decide to donate. I would really enjoy suggestions on how we can encourage more people to use btcs as a medium of exchange. If you'd like to record some lectures, then I'd be happy to post them.
it's super easy took like 5 seconds to open up the store, it's pretty darn cool and it automatically reprices your lising based on the market price of BTC
It's nice to see listings with no mention of any currency other than BTC. How has coingig.com been working for you so far: is it worth opening a merchant account there?
agreed I sell wallets for .1 BTC
As a manufacturer or just a distributor? In any case, your price is way too low.
At that price it only costs an average miner $0.30 to buy a wallet from you.
How much does it cost you to manufacture/source a wallet?
Figured that be a price that would go against the hoarding instincts, but I priced so that even at bitcoin being $60/btc I would still at least breakeven.
these are ductape wallets

I'm not in need of your service... But miners are — it's in their best interest to generate demand for BTC. Unfortunately, they still believe in bitcoin being GOLD 2.0, not BTC.
Consider it a donation to the economy as said coins will be used for commerce. We already paid for out website with btcs and also some graphics work in btc.

Much appreciated
