Could the same bitcoins being used in many transactions?

I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but in Atom's signature he links to www.bittalk.tv, and the www hostname for your domain is busted.

not sure I can agree with this argument.

bitcoinwatch.com reports volume of transactions in the blockchain for 24hr period of time
exchanges move funds internally between trades without getting on to block-chain unless you pull in/out btc for each new order from/to an exchange.

Good catch elggawf, it's fixed now and I'm updating the first post

http://bittalk.tv

We'll get that www. working, if it's the last thing we do. Heh.

So not that I'm one to complain about praise, but anybody want to talk about the content of this first episode?   Is most folks on the same page with us, and that's why they're interested in BTC, or do you disagree?

Integrity is very important to us, we are being very selective about who we approach for sponsorship (none of the exchanges until one proves itself, no pyramid schemes or get-rich quicks, etc.) so that we can retain and reinforce our independent nature, and hopefully get some real information out of some of these unknown quantities.

Whatcha think?

Great podcast. You should consider uploading it to YouTube as well.

Heh, Atom, I don't think it is exactly preferable. It's more of an act of publicity, last I checked.

Sorry about that lol, Atlas has been trying various things on the webpage - we're still figuring out ways to pay for this operation, and that is one of the options discussed but you're completely right it needs to be disclosed.     Regarding the content, it's our first episode and really Atlas and I are getting to know each others viewpoints on these issues, so while I'll agree it may have been old hat to you it is benificial to the show overall (and additionally to people who don't spend most of their time on the boards)

So on the subject of mining, what do you think about it?   It seems like its a higher risk of annoying people to me than any costs that could be recovered by mining with CPUs given the ever increasing difficulty, but on the other hand it requires no effort and little to no cost (maybe more electricity?) to the listener who is taking advantage of a "free" service.

Ideally I think we'd fund purely through small donations like my comment says, which would allow us to be free of any ethical, legal, or moral entanglements resulting from sponsorship agreements with community members (who might become a subject of discussion, either rightly or wrongly)

Really would like to know peoples thoughts about this - what do you guys think?

The instant response is appreciated and goes to show that you are at least a decent person.

I would not mind the mining, as long as there is reasonable throttling (my CPU fan is a disturbing noise, as I guess is the case for most). I don't really know if it is technically possible to limit CPU usage to say 40%.

Another issue was that I found it hard to distinguish your voices after a while, so I didn't understand who was saying what at certain points. Maybe get a nice female voice to interview Atlas?

I think small donations are the way to go, until you have good enough content to charge PPV (pay-per-view) .Bitcoin is ideal for micropayments.

An added extra for paying customers could be a transcript. Although I said before most of it is not new, there were some sentences by both of you which would have a lot of staying value, even though you might not realize that. And different things would appeal to different listeners.

If it's not clear, I am trying to be encouraging. Donation sent.
