Title: nten.org takes a dig at bitcoin
Post by: julz on January 13, 2012, 02:38:45 PM
Check out this bitcoin slight where once again - people get totally hung up on the 'mining' aspect of bitcoin.
Why on earth people think they should participate in the securing of the network in order to use bitcoin is beyond me.
These people supposedly have something to do with technology. pfft.

Note their message about finding out how to help NTEN raise "actual currency"

If these guys can't be hit with a clue stick - I hope they're the last to get on the bitcoin100 list  >:(


edit: according to the message from Brett on that page - they're potentially open to it, so I probably shouldn't be so disparaging of them here just because the humour comes across to me as a bit of a cheap shot.

There are bitcoin lovers, and there are bitcoin haters.

The best way to convince these guys would be to get them to post a Bitcoin address - or even setup an instawallet or something for them, and get people to donate BTC.
