"As we all know, animal rights activists have (like many critics) had to collectively shift its criticism of kicking dogs away from accusations of being cruel, "it hurts the dogs" and so on to a grudging acceptance that there is a place for beating dogs mercilessly."

That's why this kind of project is hardly possible with traditional money. This project was created during a 48 hour rails rumble competition. The beauty of Bitcoin is that everybody can use it to create something during a weekend.

This is not a commercial project, we don't have resources to hire lawyers and accountants. And of course we don't want to harm anybody. If we see that we are damaging somebody, we'll try to fix it.

Update: It is already opt-out for everybody unless s/he receives a tip greater than threshold.
Update2: If people receive tips greater than threshold and complain - we'll rise a threshold. We are not sending endless emails to random people. I think if a person received a tip - s/he should have a chance to know about it.

Why would anybody want to sue us?

Thanks for your warnings anyway (though I am not yet sure how to deal with them).

it'll always amaze me that people don't understand that you can't just collect cash for someone without their knowledge, even if the endgame isn't to steal it

once upon a time, my some of the marketing courses at my college required you to create a semester project involving the sale of a widget of your choosing

they asked you to put their logo on said widget, and any funds you made past your initial personal investment went back to them to buy some department head a new chair or something

no one really checked in advance what the widget was going to be because you'd need to really go above and beyond to gently caress up a thing where all that was expected of you was to print the campus logo on a t-shirt

except one group decided that they would go above and beyond, and opted to produce a calendar with "professions" you could get after your getting your bachelor's

slutty accountant
slutty secretary
slutty mechanic (and 9 other slutty somethings that had nothing to do with an accounting degree)

the models weren't nude but were still doing their best to be all sexy like, and it later surfaced that the guy in charge of photography used his younger sister's friends, of course all minors

so basically the best case interpretation is that a calendar containing lewd pictures was sanctioned and produced by these idiots, and had the college logo loving everywhere on it, and at worst that + the child porn angle

so yeah, you don't allow random fuckwits to take your public image and associate it to whatever, because sometimes they'll do jaw dropping stuff

Since when is wasting energy and storing everything everywhere in one huge rear end database where key values and other hashes are magnitudes larger than the information you want to transmit?

lollin at genecoin claiming to know what is dna makes you an individual while ignoring metagenomics, like smdh it's not 1998 lol

also a sequence would cost $9k and inserting whatever pared down version into the blockchain would cost $800 in fees and take a minimum of four months (assuming no other transactions take place) in addition to whatever fee genecoin would charge

actually multiply this by a bit because your DNA info would need some sort of identifying header because the transactions would most certainly happen out of order

This project is not great or clever in any way. It's not innovative, merely emulative. The fact that you willingly infuriate people by refusing to blacklist their projects indicates contempt for the people you're pretending to help.


r04r commented a day ago
Just want to chime in that I think this project is great, and that anyone who takes an issue with it is overreacting. It's not that hard to block incoming email, especially since it's all sent from the same domain. This also seems a lot more reasonable than complaining about people wanting to gift you money for your work.

Unless tip4commit is somehow profiting from this I don't understand why this would be a problem.



Man, what a great scam. Collect bitcoin tips from people who want to donate to contributors of open source projects, annoy those contributors with e-mails until they block your domain, and then tip4commit keeps all of the unclaimed bitcoins. Put a little "we might not be endorsed by any of these projects ^_^" disclaimer at the bottom of the page to keep the loving non-bitcoin holding peasants happy
