也许目前购买 LR 的难度,已经是这个方向所能达到的最容易程度了。
Maybe the current difficulty of buying LR is already the limit of how easy it can get in that direction.
每一种传统支付方式,都用可否认性来应对自身缺少密码和密码学保护的问题。系统完全无法阻止复制明文信用卡号和账号,只能在事后撤销交易来处理。对于必须送到某个地址的实物商品,以及无法转卖的服务,这套系统行得通。但当它与贵金属和货币兑换相接时,就成了问题。
Every conventional payment method has refutability as their way to cope with their lack of passwords and crypto. The system is wide open to copying plaintext credit card numbers and account numbers, and they deal with it by reversing the transaction after the fact. The system works for physical goods that have to be delivered somewhere, and services which can't be resold. It's a problem when it interfaces with precious metals and currency conversion.
第一步,只要一个方向变得容易,即 bitcoin->LR 或任何具有公认价值的东西,就已经很有帮助。即使不使用兑换的人,也会因为知道自己可以兑换而受益。交易比特币就成了更方便地交易领取 LR 权利的方式,类似于纸币曾经代表领取黄金的权利。任何人都不必真正领取 LR,也能享受到“只要愿意就能兑换”这一选择带来的好处。
The first step of being easy in one direction, bitcoin->LR or anything of established value, goes a long way. Even those who don't use the conversion still benefit from knowing that they could. Trading bitcoin becomes an easier way to trade the ability to claim LR, similar to how paper money was once the right to claim gold. Nobody has to ever actually claim the LR to get the benefit of having the option that they could if they wanted to.
很多时候,你只需要极少量在线货币。购买其他在线货币的麻烦,对于买一点点来说太大了。容易获得少量比特币,也许有助于带动一个面向这个市场、出售适合微支付的在线商品的卖家生态。如果卖家能用比特币换到 LR,他们就会满意,初期这也许可以由想大批购买 bc 的投资者补贴。
A lot of times you just need a minuscule amount of online currency. The hassle of buying the other online currencies is too much for buying a small amount. The ease of getting a small amount of bitcoin may help bootstrap an ecosystem of sellers of micropayment sized online goods selling to that market. If the sellers can get LR for bitcoins, they're happy, and that may be subsidized at first by investors who want to buy bc in large lots.
阻碍在线货币发展的主要因素,是缺少轻松获得少量货币的办法。比特币打开了这条路。它会成为唯一既容易兑现、又容易获得少量的在线货币。只是大量购买仍会像通常一样比较困难。
The main thing holding online currencies back is the lack of an easy way to get a small amount of currency. Bitcoin opens that up. It'll be the only online currency that's both easy to cash out and easy to get a small amount. It'll just be the usual harder difficulty to buy a large amount.
引用 Martti Malmi 的文字Martti Malmi来源 ↗Liberty Reserve 听起来不错。我可以先做一个只接受 LR 的服务,以后再增加更多选项。缺点是,顾客只是想得到比特币,却得先购买 LR,多了一步麻烦。不过也许我在这里没有太多选择。
Liberty Reserve sounds good. I could first make a service that only accepts LR, and add more options later. The weakness is that buying LR is an extra step of inconvenience when the customer just wants to get Bitcoins. But maybe I don't have too much choice here.
引用中本聪此前的文字中本聪来源 ↗你们国家有电子转账或纸质支票吗?(即使只能在欧洲境内使用)
Do you have electronic transfer or paper cheque in your country? (even if only within Europe)
有,可以电子银行转账。2010 年期间,大多数欧洲国家都会加入 SEPA(单一欧元支付区),这意味着欧洲境内的所有付款都将被视为国内付款。银行必须对所有国内转账采用相同的收费和标准,因此它们大概都会免费,并在一个银行工作日内完成。国际转账有 SWIFT/IBAN 系统,通常需要额外付费。
Yes, electronic bank transfer is available. During 2010 most European countries will become a part of SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area), which means that all payments within Europe are to be considered domestic. Banks will have to apply the same fees and standards to all domestic transfers, so they'll probably all be free of charge and complete in one bank day. For international transfers there's the SWIFT/IBAN system, which usually costs some extra.
我的兑换服务还有一项较长期的工作,就是了解银行提供哪些集成选项。银行转账能覆盖的顾客数量,几乎和信用卡一样多。
A longer term project for my exchange service would be to see what kinds of integration options the banks have to offer. Bank transfers would reach nearly as many customers as credit cards do.
