Sorry, I am not sure Bitcoin can be a niche currency. It needs to be big enough to survive. If most people prefer to use other crypto instead then Bitcoin may fall into a death spi…

Thanks for the article. But I don't see where it says that Bitcoin can't scale 20x without decentralization problems. I see that "the block size should not exceed 4MB for X=90%; an…

True, but we are not there yet. Bitcoin can probably scale 20x times without a problem. That would be 20 times lower transaction fees and 20 times more people using it.

Do you think Bitcoin Classic has chances to succeed? It looks like their hashing power is growing: http://nodecounter.com/#block_explorer

First, I want to apologize. We have received a lot of negative feedback suddenly and I can assure you that we take it seriously. I temporary disabled ALL the email notifications (e…

we are not collecting or soliciting a contribution on someone's behalf.

Thank you very much! I am quite surprised because I remember fixing this issue in the same day patch became available and I run update recently. Upgrading the distro, hopefully it …

We don't impersonate anybody. We just provide additional way to reward project's contributors and perhaps attract more of them. We'll make it more explicit with https://github.com/…

> If you ask me, it's more likely that this is the whole goal of "the project." No, it is not. We just came with this idea for rails rumble competition, it was pretty spontaneous. …

yes, that's right, thanks!

> I assumed "the project" meant that the tip goes back into a general pool still dedicated to the particular project the tip was originally designated for. This interpretation is c…

When I said "returned to the project's balance" - I meant "returned to the funded project's balance" so that other contributors to that project could receive them. Sorry if sounds …

Thanks for your question. Currently it will just stay as unclaimed balance. But probably it is a good idea to return it back to the project eventually. PS: Thanks for your hint reg…

replaced it with a github icon there

replaced it with a little cat.. is it better?

Hopefully in the long term low effort trivial (but yet useful) fixes will become a scarce resource.

We have just implemented this feature. All the commits with email addresses that don't have "." in its domain name will be ignored. Thanks!

if you mean trivial yet still useful commits, then hopefully it will be harder to abuse when all the simple things are improved

You are right. But it is not a salary, it is just a tip. If developer spent time to make even a tiny useful commit - that is good. Probably with time it will become harder to find …

Yes, why not (we can't be sure that it was you who donated to your project). At least you know it works ;) Thanks for trying out!

Hm... Do you mean to allow the merger to specify the value of the commit? E. g. by default it could be 1%, but merger can make it smaller if commit is not very valuable. Sounds lik…

Yes, it is a risk. Same question partially answered here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=315802.msg3910308#ms... . If project gets traction then most of the collected bitc…

IMO if this commit is useful - accept it. It will reduce the next reward by only 1%. Sooner or later all the simple ways to get tips will exhaust. The project will be a bit closer …

That's right. We made this project as a part of Rails Rumble contest and are using a limited-time free server offered by them. So we need to collect money to move to a new server, …

Our initial idea was that each donation pays for 30 days of tips (and rewards depended on interval between commits, see http://blog.anonymousads.com/2013/10/tip4commit-first-bitcoi…
