不过我用这个地址已经有一阵子了,所以希望我的 dhcp 客户端能够成功续租,不会丢掉地址。地址时不时会变化,但这个地址应该还能用一段时间。

I've had that address for a while though so hopefully my dhcp client is being successful at renewing and not losing my address. It does change from time to time, but that address should be good for a while.

至少有一个节点的入站 IP 一直在同一个 B 类网络内变化。也许每次运行程序都会变。我没预料到这一点。

There's at least one node who's inbound IP keeps changing all the time within the same class B. Maybe every time the program is run. I wasn't expecting that.

你介意我把下面这些内容抄送到 bitcoin-list 或 Cryptography 吗?

Do you mind if I CC the rest of this to bitcoin-list or Cryptography?

你知道,我觉得 90 年代对此感兴趣的人多得多,但经过十多年基于可信第三方的系统(Digicash 等)接连失败,他们认为这件事已经没有希望了。我希望他们能看出区别:据我所知,这是我们第一次尝试一种不以信任为基础的系统。

You know, I think there were a lot more people interested in the 90's, but after more than a decade of failed Trusted Third Party based systems (Digicash, etc), they see it as a lost cause. I hope they can make the distinction that this is the first time I know of that we're trying a non-trust-based system.

是的,这就是最吸引我的特点。真正难的是让人们切实认可比特币的价值,使它成为货币。

Yea, that was the primary feature that caught my eye. The real trick will be to get people to actually value the BitCoins so that they become currency.

Hal 有点提到,它可能被看成一种成功概率很低的投资。既然我们已经知道一种实现方法,不会在可信第三方临阵退缩时不可避免地被削弱,那么如果 10 年后我们仍没有以某种形式使用电子货币,我会很意外。

Hal sort of alluded to the possibility that it could be seen as a long-odds investment. I would be surprised if 10 years from now we're not using electronic currency in some way, now that we know a way to do it that won't inevitably get dumbed down when the TTP gets cold feet.

即使它不能立刻流行起来,下一个想出需要某种代币或电子货币的方案的人,现在也已经可以用它了。它可以从封闭系统或小众用途起步,例如奖励积分、捐赠代币、游戏货币,或成人网站的微支付。一旦起步,如果你能像往自动售货机里投币一样,轻松向网站支付几分钱,就会有很多应用。

Even if it doesn't take off straight away, it's now available for use by the next guy who comes up with a plan that needs some kind of token or electronic currency. It could get started in a closed system or narrow niche like reward points, donation tokens, currency for a game or micropayments for adult sites. Once it gets bootstrapped, there are so many applications if you could effortlessly pay a few cents to a website as easily as dropping coins in a vending machine.

它现在已经可以用于付费发送电子邮件。发送对话框可以调整大小,你可以输入任意长度的消息。连接建立后,消息会直接发送。收件人双击交易,就能看到完整消息。如果某位名人收到的电子邮件多到读不完,但仍想让粉丝有办法联系自己,就可以运行 Bitcoin,并在网站上公布 IP 地址。“向这个 IP 上的优先热线发送 X 个比特币,我会亲自阅读消息。”

It can already be used for pay-to-send e-mail. The send dialog is resizeable and you can enter as long of a message as you like. It's sent directly when it connects. The recipient doubleclicks on the transaction to see the full message. If someone famous is getting more e-mail than they can read, but would still like to have a way for fans to contact them, they could set up Bitcoin and give out the IP address on their website. "Send X bitcoins to my priority hotline at this IP and I'll read the message personally."

需要让免费试用多一点工作量证明,以免影响付费订阅的订阅网站,可以对试用收取比特币。

Subscription sites that need some extra proof-of-work for their free trial so it doesn't cannibalize subscriptions could charge bitcoins for the trial.
