不过我用这个地址已经有一阵子了，所以希望我的 DHCP 客户端能成功续租，而不会丢失我的地址。 它确实会不时变化，但这个地址应该还能用 一段时间。
至少有一个节点的入站 IP 总是在同一个 B 类地址范围内 不断变化。也许每次运行程序时都会变。 这出乎我的意料。
你介意我把这封邮件余下的内容抄送给 bitcoin-list 或 Cryptography 吗？
顺便说一下，bitcoin-list 是： bitcoin-list@lists.sourceforge.net 订阅/退订页面： http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-list 存档： http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=bitcoin-list
你知道，我觉得 90 年代感兴趣的人要多得多， 但在经历了十多年基于可信第三方的系统（Digicash 等）接连失败后， 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。
是的，这正是吸引我注意的主要特点。真正的难题 是让人们真正认可比特币的价值，使它们成为 货币。
哈尔算是暗示过，它可能会被视为一种 胜算很低的投资。既然我们现在知道了一种不会因为可信第三方 打退堂鼓而不可避免地被削弱的实现方法，如果 10 年后 我们还没有以某种方式使用电子货币， 我会感到惊讶。
即使它没有立刻流行起来，它现在也已经可以供下一个 提出某种需要代币或电子货币之方案的人使用。 它可以从封闭系统或狭窄的利基领域起步，比如奖励积分、捐赠代币、 游戏货币，或成人网站的小额支付。一旦它启动起来， 如果你能像往自动售货机里投硬币一样轻松地 向网站支付几美分，就会有非常多的应用场景。
它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，而且你想输入多长的消息都可以。 建立连接后，消息会直接发送。收件人双击 交易即可查看完整消息。如果某位名人收到的电子邮件 多到看不过来，但仍然希望有一种方式让粉丝联系自己， 他们可以设置好比特币，并在自己的网站上公布 IP 地址。 “向我这个 IP 上的优先热线发送 X 个比特币，我会亲自阅读消息。”
那些需要为免费试用设置额外工作量证明、 以免免费试用蚕食付费订阅的订阅网站，可以对试用收取 比特币。

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

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.
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 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.
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.
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."
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.
