Bitcoin Forum

Hey all,

My dad is blocking bitcoin related websites. WHY??
Why can I not learn about bitcoin? Whats so secret about it that I'm not allowed to know?
 
How can I address this issue and confront him?

Proxies.... Tor.... There are many ways.

It could be that he (mistakenly) sees bitcoin as a con and is trying to protect you.

Bitcoin is super cool and all the kids are doing it

he says bitcoin is probably not reputable  pff

says it was an automatic update for the router. like im supposed to believe that  >:(

tor sounds fine, but just why!!! those are not reasons those are plain excuses!

EDIT:

I'm 24 years of age why should he even care!

If he says it was an automatic update to your router, perhaps the router needs to go for a swim  ::)

Anyways, What country are you in? Who is your ISP? Are you still able to visit here? It might not be your dad's fault.

Why would anyone here know why YOUR Dad would do something?

24
          
            24

                         24

Time to move out dude! Take your bitcoins and go home  ;)

edit: I don't think your really 24.

I have standards.

Canada, Telus, Bell, Rogers who cares its all pretty much the same and yes I'm able to access bitcoin websites via other networks.

oh its my dads fault I know because he's pretty stupid when it comes to researching things he doesn't know about. he just doesn't care to do so.

he started questioning me about it the moment I uttered its existance.

Haha, I know right. I'm here for a while longer then I'm scramming.

this is the most sad story ive ever seen here. its like in jail... no bitcoin no life  :-X sorry for you dude.

Does your dad have any specific reasons not to trust Bitcoin?

Sounds like he doesn't have a single clue what Bitcoin is actually about. "Bitcoin is probably not reputable", right, and that assumption is based on what exactly?

Dear Mr. DynoTAP's dad, please join this forum and ask around. Plenty of people (enthusiastic Bitcoin adopters) will be happy to resolve any questions or misinformation you have about bitcoins, and explain why this concept is so brilliant and promising.

And dude, you're 24. If you're still letting your dad (or anyone for that matter) decide what sites you can or cannot visit, you're doing this to yourself and deserve no better.

Is you surname Bernanke, by any chance?

unfortunately Mr. DynoTAPs father was dumb enough to put a ban on this website as well, I'm thinking he's been sniffing my packets.

Dude! Wait one second there I'm trying to resolve this ... issue with my father. I'm not going to let him just walk over me like that!

Sadly, no.. but that's a really cool sirname! Why did you ask me that of all things? How is it related to my reply to Vladimir? lol???

do you share your pc with your dad?  that's even more sad  :'(  i'm crying bro

Maybe he doesn't know about BitcoinTalk.org forum.  Maybe you can post there?

LOL, I don't think he'd let me touch his computer! Hm... come to think of it, I don't think I let him touch mine (that sounds SOOO wrong!).

 ::)  the next thing your dad will do is to hack your pc and erase your wallet

Oh he's blocked this website too I'm just using an unsecured network. I don't know the legality of doing so but I think it has been assigned to be an open network for 'guests' and guests/basement suite renters.

Scary thing is I don't know how secure it is to be connected to this network... I mean there could be potential hackers doing some packet sniffing for passwords and such.

Lol, I don't yet have a wallet.dat file or a bitcoin wallet for that matter...

I want to start this bitcoin thing but have no idea where to start. I was doing some research some days ago before he locked everything down.

I use UBUNTU 12.04, I love it and it's my baby. I don't want to switch over to Windows due to security issues.

try proxy programs. hidemyass etc and use your provider to access the forum. i don't think btc clients (wallets) will be affected by the block

I read somewhere that hidemyass was bought by the FBI, NSA or something to do with the government of the United States of America

I'm fine with Tor but then again some of the proxies are being monitored by government organizations (and that's not coming from me that's from a tech show I watch)

are you planing on hacking FBI or other US government agencies?
if not you can use it for a non violent painless "dad" surfing

Made it's time that a 24 year old leaves the home?

(Trying to troll, how did I do?)

LOL no. just no! I'm just a listener of Security Now! (TwiT.tv), Hak5 (Revision3), Tekzilla (Revision3), and some other Revision3.com productions.

I'll definitely look into it. :)


P.S.

To the person that doesn't believe that I'm 24, I can assure you that you are not being mislead. I really am!

You're doing great!!! Push a little harder next time though  ;D

shhh don't tell your gf that your dad block btc, maybe she will came with an idea and block your porn sites too   ;D

I'll keep it quiet.

Tor, proxy... or just use one of these:

http://www.free-public-proxy.com/

http://hidemyass.com/proxy/

http://www.freeproxy.ca/

Oh and by the way your mom wanted me to tell you to go ahead and pick out a movie and heat up the frozen dinners, the baby sitter is on her way.

CAUTION: public proxies can be unsafe. you should do a little more research on the subject.

cytokine  hahahahahhaha awesome post +1 i have tears in my eyes

Try http://www.mullvad.net, it is based in the Netherlands, keeps no logs, and accepts Bitcoin, USD and EUR by cash through the mail, or credit card.

It's coz I'm a junior member  :'(

no worries bro by 40 your dad will be to old to control your life, i don't bet on your wife. just kidding. your an awesome dude if you post this problem here.

PS: stop hacking FBI already. they will get you eventually.  :'(

NICE!! I'll DEFINITELY look into this one!

And how are we supposed to know that you aren't trolling yourself?  ::)

To whom was this directed at?

Himself probably.

I'd like to know how much bandwidth does btc mining take up? is it in the hundreds of megabytes?

lol!

About 100MB / day.  You could do it on dailup if needed.  Latency is more important though, so a 3G connection would be bad, wi-fi even may give a disadvantage.

What's wrong with kids these days? I was finding ways to get my own internet access despite my parent's wishes when I was half his age back when getting online meant knowing about AT commands.

Perhaps it's because you're 24 and still living with your father. Perhaps.

You wish. At least the hookers. Blow is easy to get with Bitcoin. But despite you being able to buy blow you can't get blown lol

Also: stop feeding the SA troll, you morons.

Speaks from experience -- this one.

Perhaps you drive an ice cream truck. Perhaps. :o

How the hell is age relevant? ???

I've just been INFORMED  8) thank you very much.

I just starting reading this thread, wondering at what post count Pinkie Pie will be mentioned.

Ready to see page 2, and now leaning towards this thread being started by Atlas.

I give!

Later, all.

~Bruno~

WAIT! The party is just getting started!!

You're a fake.
Bruno wants the real deal lol

Pay your Dad in Bitcoin, to unlock Bitcoin related websites.

Yes. FTW

If this was my situation, I would react naturally...

..and start blocking all the sites my dad visits.

No porn for dad. Redtube resolving to localhost, or even worse, to meatspin, a la bitcoinica lol
Only problem would be if he enjoyed meatspin, then you'll get stuck listening to that tune all day

ya know that ain't such a bad idea ;D

LOLOL only IF I had the password.. would I manage that. I'm sure I could brute force though he would know immediately. by the way the problem has been 'solved' (i think).

OH!!!!! I'll buy a WiFi Pineapple Mark IV and pretend to be his router and then I'll block all the sites he visits! I may be able to do it off the command-line, not sure -- never tried. But that's going a long way to be only a little bit nefarious don't you think?

you... could just reset the router. it has a factory reset button.

Get your own internet...

I mean, i might not agree with it, but it seems like a case of "My roof, my rules" but of internet... so get your own and then you can make the rules... or pay for half of your dads connection and tell him to give you the passwords...

Apoiado!

Prepaid internet ftw.

Bankrupcy FTL lol

Let's not FtT (Feed the Troll).
There are so many solutions in the internet or even on this forum to his problem.
If he were really 24 years old, he would already tried to figure this out.
Damn, tunneling is so damn easy...
Tor even more.
But he isn't even capable of moving out or getting his own internet!
His father FTW, so...

Your 24 and he controls your internet? Oh dear...  :o

Tell him to watch these videos

http://vimeo.com/2244372
http://vimeo.com/6822294

He will probably like bitcoin after that.

Sad day :(

No need to take the thread down, just the insults. The guy didn't insult you, did he?

Thanks.

Just damn annoying.  Heck I'm just glad he (if it is even a he) doesn't have my phone number! LOL

Actually that was my solution (but I'll give you the credit  ;))

Banktransfer is a scammer... 

Do not deal with..

http://www.google.com/gwt/n

unblockable (unless you want to block Google too...)

1) Go to the router and press the reset button while your dad is not home.
2) Visit 192.168.0.1 and login with default credentials (usually admin/admin or admin/BLANK)
3) Set your own password so your dad can't get in.
4) Start blocking sites that your dad visits.
5) ? ? ? ?
6) Profit

Just talk to your dad  ;)

Internet gnomes!
