− | The description of bitcoin is similiar to wikipedia article.--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 19:53, 16 December 2010 (GMT)
| + | {{Archive}}__TOC__ |
− | : It seems that the beginning of the introduction was made by Grondilu (french guy who sometimes comes on irc and auctions gold on the forum), see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bitcoin&diff=402269158&oldid=402260422]. Since most of the bitcoin article on wikipedia was put together by the bitcoin community, it shouldn't be too difficult to have them accept publication here. In the meantime I see no harm keeping this for a few days, until we either get explicit authorization, or rewrite it into something more personnal. [[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]] 21:47, 16 December 2010 (GMT)
| + | <!--Insert new discussions below this line--> |
− | :: In the meantime I have added a "wikipedia" source, thru adhering with the wikipedia CC by-sa license. [[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]] 21:49, 16 December 2010 (GMT)
| |
− | :::Authorisation isn't needed. We're complying with the Wikipedia license by sourcing their work. Shouldn't matter. [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 03:31, 19 December 2010 (GMT)

− | I don't like "the idea of using digital files as money" -- maybe "the idea of using digital information as money" ? 'files' has too specific a meaning in the computer context. Then again, most dollars and euros and other conventional currency are nothing but accounting entries in various databases.--[[User:Gavinandresen|Gavin Andresen]] 16:20, 22 December 2010 (GMT)
| + | == Database dumps == |
− | : Maybe using with "bits of data"? (it's BITcoin after all). Anyway "files" doesn't seem appropriate... [[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]] 12:25, 23 December 2010 (GMT)
| |
− | ::"bits of data" sounds equally weird. I changed it to information. However, is it really information? Information is supposed to be human-readable quantitative data, whereas data is the raw stream... It doesn't fit data or information as it's a solution to a mathematical operation. We could write "the idea of using computed solutions to mathematical problems as money". [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 16:38, 23 December 2010 (GMT)
| |
− | :::Ok, on second thought, I changed it. [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 16:39, 23 December 2010 (GMT)

− | == Header capitalisation ==
| + | The link to database dumps doesn't work anymore: http://dump.bitcoin.it/. It now redirects to the main page. [[User:Fturco|Fturco]] ([[User talk:Fturco|talk]]) 08:44, 2 September 2018 (UTC) |
| + | :Thanks for telling us. The relevant people have been notified. [[User:Belcher|Belcher]] ([[User talk:Belcher|talk]]) 13:30, 3 September 2018 (UTC) |
| | | |
− | Please refrain from using Initial Caps in your titles. Use One initial cap; it's the style in current usage.
| + | Can haz backup? --[[User:RiskNerd|RiskNerd]] ([[User talk:RiskNerd|talk]]) 19:48, 2 September 2019 (UTC) |
− | For names such as Bitcoin Market, capitalise each letter of the word only for that name
| |
− | e.g "How to use Bitcoin Market".[[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 07:23, 30 December 2010 (GMT)
| |
− | :Lets stick to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(capitalization) Wikipedia style guide]. [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 21:07, 9 January 2011 (GMT)

− | == Fonts for source code == | + | == Statistics == |
| | | |
− | MT, can you make the fonts bigger? I can hardly see the fonts for the <source> snippets. Thanks. [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 07:23, 30 December 2010 (GMT)
| + | Could it make sense to replace the https://bitcoincharts.com/ link to Statistics with a link to https://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/dashboard/? [[User:Furunodo|Furunodo]] ([[User talk:Furunodo|talk]]) 10:31, 7 June 2020 (UTC) |
− | : For the source snippets, this can be done by editing [[MediaWiki:Geshi.css]] I guess, use the discussion page there [[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]] 14:59, 31 December 2010 (GMT)
| |
− | ::Thanks. I didn't know about that- well you've sorted it now anyway ;) [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 21:09, 9 January 2011 (GMT)

− | ==Further Languages==
| + | :It might be better to just remove it, because such a prominent link on the front page is bound to cause friction with webmasters who want to get their own link added there too. It might be better to have a page on the wiki created which teaches people how to get statistics like Difficulty, height of tip, total coins from their own full node. [[User:Belcher|Belcher]] ([[User talk:Belcher|talk]]) 17:31, 9 June 2020 (UTC) |
| | | |
− | There now are wiki URLs here for two languages in addition to English. How do bitcoin wikis for additional languages get started? For example, there are a number of bitcoin users whose primary language is spanish. Bitcoin has a number of German language readers too ... for example [http://www.go-bitcoin.com Go-Bitcoin]]. [[User:sgornick]] 18:01, 8 February 2011 (GMT)
| + | ::Yes, great idea! I started a stub at [[Statistics]]. [[User:Furunodo|Furunodo]] ([[User talk:Furunodo|talk]]) 21:26, 10 June 2020 (UTC) |
− | : Those informations are available on the [[Bitcoin.it Wiki]] page. [[User:MagicalTux|MagicalTux]] 08:30, 16 February 2011 (GMT)

− | Would an administrator please remove new users from the recent changes? It generally clogs it up and isn't helpful for editors. Thanks! --[[User:Firestorm|<span style="text-shadow:orange 0px 0px 3px;"><font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]]</span> 05:10, 26 May 2011 (GMT)

− | == Contents of "Topic central" ==
| |
− | I suggest adding "services". [[User:Phelix|Phelix]] 12:30, 15 September 2011 (GMT)
| |
− | | |
− | This link should be displayed more prominently. Maybe something like: "spend coins". Also "trade" is very misleading because it is easy to think of trading bitcoins on an exchange but not buying goods and services.
