Hi Michel, Yes, I do have a public key, but yet again, another nice idea with terrible interaction design and userbility - most people have no clue about public private keys, so this keeps it a geek thing - the actual app upon launch is unclear. Where to click, what to do,gah! I can't really support this even if it is a p2p solution. James On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 5:57 AM, Michel Bauwens <[email protected]>wrote:
James,

This is a p2p application, so we would need to post your's or James's public key, and people who want to donate bitcoins would need then send you the bitcoins by downloading the bitcoin application and sending it to you
quote:
"Bitcoin utilizes public/private key digital signatures (ECDSA). A coin has its owner's public key on it. When a coin is transferred from user A to user B, A adds B’s public key to the coin and signs it with his own private key. Now B owns the coin and can transfer it further. To prevent A from transferring the already used coin to another user C, a public list of all the previous transactions is collectively maintained by the network of Bitcoin nodes, and before each transaction the coin’s unusedness will be checked."

Sam, can you help us install it on the wiki and blog?

I've downloaded and installed and am game to try with p2pf network
folks.
This could actually be really useful for lots of local economy efforts too.

Dear,
thanks a lot for this email,
it seems that it is worthwhile for us to experiment with this, but I will forward this to James Burke for possible implementation
James, I think we should do this, what do you think?

Dear friends,
I have been looking in your site for any reference to Bitcoin for making a small donation.
As you probably know, Bitcoin (bitcoin.org) is a new kind
of a
P2P crypto-currency in which the general public can make donations, macro or micropayments in a secure and anonymous way usually without any transaction fee involved.
You can change Bitcoins for real money (eg: https://mtgox.com) or purchase services or goods in an increasing number of sites.
In order to receive donations you only have to publish one of your accounts as generated by the bitcoin client or any specialized bitcoin trader (eg: mybitcoin.com).
Currently some projects as www.i2p2.de, www.torrentservers.net and organizations like the EFF are accepting donations.
In my opinion this kind of decentralized solution without the need to trust any middlemen is much better than Paypal, Visa or Mastercard for security-minded people as most of your donors are.
If you are interested in pushing Bitcoin forward, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any doubt.
Yours, Cyclonite __ OpenPGP Email: https://privacybox.de/cyclonite.msg bitcoin donations: 16FVZweaaJLvhAy91oDugqaf84kXiDJ9PG
