It's not even really crypto that's needed. Here's how it could be done in Linux

Code:

$ echo To Da Moon >prediction.txt
$ md5sum prediction.txt
16c02065ecdd742048d78181dbbeae8d prediction.txt

Then just post the md5.

I saw linux installed on a computer once in my life. md5sum ??

Something simpler please

If you use Microsoft Windows. They have a free tool for it here, along with some instructions.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290

Download FCIV, then run
FCIV -md5 -sha1 (path/filename)

If you post the hash (the result of running the FCIV program on the text file in which you write your prediction) then you can prove that the prediction is unchanged later when you choose to reveal what it was because people can check the hash and see that it was the same then as now.

When will someone make a service that will truly revolutionize the way we use bitcoin? An app/webservice that would oversimplify the use of bitcoin, making it accessible to the common folk who don't want to spend time getting to know bitcoin. Also something that would mitigate the exchange risk/confirmations duration problem.

This is why I'm not a believer in the recent "mass adoption" rants. Bitcoin is still a bitch to get involved in for the computer illiterate and average Joe.

Who's talking mass adoption right now? The recent volley of good news only means relatively greater adoption than before, therefore relatively higher prices.

All I've seen the past 2 weeks is references to mass adoption, primarily related to China...

SR merchants simply changed marketplaces and do the same as before

A, yeah? Then where did the 95% of my pre-SR bust sales volume go? Sheepmarket and BMR are pretty much dead at this point and don't even have a fraction of the volume SR used to have. Add a permanent DDoS of BMR to it's lack of volume and you'll start to get the picture: this industry needs at least a year to recover.

I might have misunderstood this. Did you you type that you were a Silk Road vendor?

Man, on his profile used to say "top SR vendor". It was never a secret.

thanks for the insight. my infos just come from consumers so I don't know nothing about merchant side.
i still think this will get stronger in coming months. perhaps depends on variety of products (just saw your cigs offers on bitmit).
SR shutdown was just recently, markets will decentralize until one site will get monopoly status again. it will take its time, but not a year imo (demand too high).

It's pretty depressing how slow innovation has been in this regard. 5 years later and user friendliness is still a lonnnnnng way off. No one has built even, say, an iphone app that lets you send bitcoin to friends with the "scary stuff" running in the background (interfacing w/ public keys, etc.). Normal people don't give a shit about interfacing with public/private keys. They want to click on a picture of their friend and send them bitcoins. This blows people minds in computer science that everyone isn't "technical minded".

In fact, the closest thing so far to being user friendly and "non scary" is probably Coinbase. Anything else I'd be afraid of recommending to a non-nerd. Seriously... would you send your grandma to blockchain.info?? lol

Stamp is having API issues, and maybe trading issues. Losing its virginity in this choppy market action I guess.

I have had some plans to. I just haven't moved on them. I'm surprised somebody else hasn't already.

Keep it crypto, dude. Type out your predictions, hash the message and post the hash here.

How technically should I approach this (this hashing and stuff)? I am a newbie in crypto. Should I use some software to do it?

I don't even understand Bitcoin. I only trade it.

Like a service that holds a wallet of bitcoin, allowing people to purchase bitcoins to immediately buy an item on the internet (this would be a service performed by the company itself). They would offer a variety of ways to deposit money, the difference is people wouldn't have to deal with the website selling the item or the inherent risks of bitcoin. The company itself wouldn't have to pay many fees because of the fact they work with bitcoin. Companies selling items accepting payments in bitcoin from this company would have eliminated the need to subscribe to payment processors themselves. Truly frictionless buying/selling for both customers and companies selling items.
