Bitcoin edits

[edit]

I'm going to go ahead and make some piecemeal changes to the Bitcoin page; feel free to remove those edits you have an issue with. I do understand the need to review larger changes and appreciate feedback, but I would also like to improve the page. I hope that by making incremental edits that can be reverted a la carte I'll be making a happy compromise in this regard. I'll post on the talk page about changes such as the cryptocurrency mention to get consensus prior to making them. Fleetham (talk)

@Fleetham: Smaller edits would be super super helpful. I didn't want to undo everything but I didn't really have a choice, then had to re-add some good edits.VinceSamios (talk) 11:15, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, well I believe I've finished. There's still some unnecessary edits to wade through, like me accidentally reverting your revert and then reverting this :) But feel free to take down the controversial stuff. Fleetham (talk) 11:26, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@Fleetham: I've readded and cited the image of how a transaction works - also happy to explain it to you if it doesn't make sense to you. I agree its a little dense on the technical side, but its also quite informative to how the protocol actually works. Hope you don't mind. VinceSamios (talk) 12:05, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, well I guess the diagram explains that you need a public and private key to make a Bitcoin transaction. You seem to like it, but I would prefer to place it near a textual description of what it's describing. I'll see if I can't re-position it.
Also, I switched out "physical" for "digital" from the "physical token or notes" thing in the lede. I can easily imagine someone who knows nothing of Bitcoin imagining that they're little digital files or something. I doubt most would think a Bitcoin transaction would include handing over a paper note (but it could). Fleetham (talk) 19:04, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I just wanted to say thanks for your plethora of edits to the Bitcoin page today. Except for a couple that I'll bring up on the talk page, I thought they were all beneficial to the article. I don't know why the removal of the physical tokens section got reverted, but I'm with you on that one. Cheers, Chris Arnesen 18:35, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

chrisarnesen the physical bitcoins section didn't have good content, hopefully now it does :-) VinceSamios (talk) 11:14, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A tip

Hi Vince, you may want to create a sandbox in your userspace here for developing content or whatever that stuff is above (for example User:VinceSamios/sandbox). Your primary Talk page should be for other users to communicate with you, and they will be confused when they see content that's seemingly unrelated to such. If the above is not related to Wikipedia articles, it would be best maintained elsewhere (see WP:NOTWEBHOST). --Laser brain (talk) 18:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
