I would like to be whitelisted if it is not too much trouble. I will be posting in the market place, as I would like to see if anyone's interested in me making custom roguelikes or turn-based strategy games for them for a very small fee. Anyone who is interested would not have to pay me until their game is finished, and they also only have to pay if they like it. This way you know I'm not a scammer.
I just read the first post in this thread again, and realized that I need to prove that I know more about bitcoin than the average user. Sorry about that. I will do that right now. I have been a bitcoiner for probably a little over a year now, lurked on the forums without an account for hours on end. I was really into bitcoin, but then got to sucked up in real life issues. Now I am coming back into the world of bitcoin. As far as the technical side goes, I do not know much. I know that it is a peer to peer network that uses public-private key pairs for security. I know that the network grows stronger when there is more miners, which are people using their gpu's (or cpu's, but that is pretty much impossible,) to crack the current hash or "block." I also know a tiny bit of economic and business history of bitcoin. I know that bitcoins started out worth next to nothing, and I remember the story about the guy who paid 10,000 BTC for a pizza. When I first got into bitcoin, they were around $0.80, and quickly rose to parity with the US Dollar. Eventually, they soared to amazing heights, hitting $30 per bitcoin! (I had a bunch of BTC from when it was $0.80, so I made a lot of money off of that.) MTGox was (and probably still is,) the biggest bitcoin exchange. It used to be owned by someone else (can't recall his username.) And it also didn't used to be a bitcoin exchange. MTGox actually stands for Magic The Gathering Online eXchange. Last time I checked, it is now owned by magical tux. I remember the first mtgox hack, the mybitcoin theft, and my favorite hack, the cosbycoin hack on these very forums (I laughed my ass off that day!) I remember Atlas, all his suicide threats, and his eventual banning from the forums. I remember when the first bitcoin forks started to pop up (namecoin, iocoin, ixcoin, litecoin, solidcoin,) and all the controversy (especially with CoinHunter/RealSolid.) That is all I can come up with for now. Let me know if I should tell more. Now, how about a whitelist, John?
