The description of bitcoin is similiar to wikipedia article.--[[User:Kiba|Kiba]] 19:53, 16 December 2010 (GMT)

: 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.

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)

: 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)

For names such as Bitcoin Market, capitalise each letter of the word only for that name

MT, can you make the fonts bigger? I can hardly see the fonts for the &lt;source&gt; snippets. Thanks. [[User:Genjix|Genjix]] 07:23, 30 December 2010 (GMT)

: 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)

: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.

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]].

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.

Statistics

Could it make sense to replace the https://bitcoincharts.com/ link to Statistics with a link to https://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/dashboard/? Furunodo (talk) 10:31, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

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.

Yes, great idea! I started a stub at Statistics. Furunodo (talk) 21:26, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
