Title: Re: Islamic mining pools?
Post by: ruski on July 16, 2011, 11:04:52 PM
We all knew the terrorists would catch on eventually. Another nail in the coffin as far as governments leaving Bitcoin alone.

What's wrong with a regular mining pool? Why the fuck do you need an "islamic" mining pool? Good ol' American Bitcoins too infidel for you? Well, lemme tell you something. There are no Islamic bitcoins. Just lots and lots of American ones. Wanna bitcoin durka?

Seriously dude... you're gonna go full-racist over banking rules? How is this matter even worth being such a douchebag about?

Look it's simple, from the first post:
principles of Islamic Banking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_bank#Principles): sharing of profit and loss.
Basically, Islam has specific beliefs about moral methods of banking, all he's asking is if bitcoin fits these ideals.  And honestly it's no stranger than any other religious laws or beliefs...  Jews have special diets and basically can't eat anything including more than 2 food groups. Catholics pretend to drink the blood and eat the flesh of the lord they worship. And Mormons, don't even get me started... magic underwear?

Look, religions are all dumb, but that doesn't mean you get to hate on people for believing something silly.

Ugh... no, there aren't.  If they were all American they'd be called "dollars" and would be worth about 15 times less.  And finally, YOU are part of the reason bitcoin is hurting, and you probably know it.
