101  Economy / Goods / Anarcho-Capitalist / Agorist Flags - 3-5 BTC shipped anywhere! on: July 04, 2011, 04:45:19 AM
I've found a great supplier of market anarchist flags, and as Bitcoin has a strong Libertarian following I figured I could offer these to the community.

Market Anarchist Flag


5' x 3': 4 BTC.
3' x 2': 3 BTC.

Gadsden Flag


5' x 3': 5 BTC.
3' x 2': 4 BTC.

These are made of a high-quality 200D polyester and come with gromits for easy attachment to a flagpole.

I can offer 10% off on orders of 2 or more units.

Price includes shipping to anywhere in the world.

Try changing card identifier names in cards.lib to start with a letter instead of a number.

It's an awkward convention of screen that session names must start with a letter.
103  Economy / Economics / Re: Tobin Tax. Anyone want to help me build the Tobin Tax website? on: July 02, 2011, 09:49:40 AM
The need for at least a 1% Tobin tax has long been overdue.  The amount of speculative money sloshing through the world markets is staggering and a speculative drain on the real economy.  In addition the advent of hyper-trading and flash-trading is another toxic poison to the real stock market of capital investors, entrepreneurs and businesses.  In addition, it is the most feasible way to shift the burden of closing the deficit from the backs of the pillaged and raped middle-class to the bailout taking parasites on Wall Street.

If you don't know about the Tobin Tax and how it could close the deficit and fix many problems of our existing system then please read up on it.

For those that have already done their homework and know the benefits that a Tobin tax would have please PM me.  I'm diving into doing more 'hard research' targeted specifically at this issue exclusively in order to build my website.

I need help: researching, making animated videos, website design, essay writing.

If you'd like to help please PM me and we can start a conversation.

Thanks.

Am I right in assuming you don't work in finance and have never done so? A 1% Tobin tax is utterly unthinkable. Ask the Swedish, who used far smaller Tobin taxes, what became of that experiment.
104  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do libertarians support the idea of information as property? on: July 02, 2011, 06:30:44 AM
So which information should be protected by regulation and/or treated as property, and why?

Information is not property.
Why not? What necessary characteristics does information lack?
Scarcity and enforceability (without holding people's REAL property hostage).

Scarcity isn't the only necessary qualifier for property, nor should something no longer be property if it's difficult to enforce it as such. Property is not property because it is rare, it is property because it is the product of your mind/creation.

Thank fuck for the market.

Like I said, can't argue with stupid.  Your mind is made up and no amount of history lessons or reality checks will change it.


Thank fuck for that anything but free market though, right?  It's a free market when you want it to be and a government controlled scam when you want it to be.  Oh wait, we've come full circle.

http://mutualist.blogspot.com/2005/01/vulgar-libertarianism-watch-part-1.html

I see what you did there

Arguing with caricatures isn't gonna work. Try again.


It's pretty simple, really.  You can't attribute something you favor to the free market and say "thank fuck for the free market"... then when I point out an evil of the market, you turn around and say it's not a free market, so that's why bad things are happening.

Having your cake and eating it too.  Seems to be a reoccuring dilema for libertarians.

It's not a free market, but it's a lot better than a command economy.

Do not force your GPU fans to spin at 100% or they will die in a month or 2 of 24\7.

This is simply not true. Making your fans spin 100% 24/7 is bad for the motor, but usually they'll still last ~2 years. Still not recommended though.

76ºC is absolutely fine. Anything below ~85 isn't really an issue.
107  Economy / Services / Re: Mhash/s for rent on: July 01, 2011, 10:44:56 PM
why would someone pay X bitcoins for Y amount of bitcoins if Y<X?
For the same reason that is always referenced when this question is asked. To get freshly mined bitcoins, no risk of ending up with stolen or illegally tainted bitcoins if they come direct from mining. This is worth a premium to some people.

This is the main reason, yes. Bitcoins without a history are worth more to some people.
108  Economy / Services / Re: Mom's Basement Mining Contracts - From $52 per week! on: July 01, 2011, 10:37:42 PM
do you realize ur customer will take a lost on ur mining service?
I think it is time for you to update the OP.
Difficulty is now over 1 mil, and exchange is more like $16-17

If price and difficulty stay as they are right now, I believe the MH-1200 still profits but the other two make a loss. Any mining contract is a bet on price rising at a rate compared to difficulty, you cannot calculate Bitcoin profits over 13 weeks based on today's rates, as you can see with what I did a little over a week ago.

Unfortunately, I have to base my prices on the cost of running the service, which includes setting up more hardware, energy bills, time to build systems, monitor them, overclock them and fine-tune OS's and the risk of hardware failure. This cost doesn't change much whether Bitcoin is $15 or $150.

Do DHL serve you?

I'd be willing to book things on my DHL account for Bitcoin.
110  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: "Why is Pool Hopping a Problem?" - If you use a PROPORTIONAL pool, read this! on: July 01, 2011, 10:28:44 PM

First of all, we're going to assume that there is a proportional pool called Pool A, which mines at 90MH/sec without our miner.

(Emphasis mine)

Should this be 90GH/sec?

Yes, editing, thanks.
111  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: [Linux] Autominer v0.3.2.5 - GPU Monitor, Downtime Swapper, New Interface on: July 01, 2011, 10:27:48 PM
That's a bug with aticonfig, I assume, since all the script is doing is passing 'aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt' every 15 seconds.

To get out of screen, just hit Ctrl-A, then D.

I'm not sure about the VNC windows, even having the VNC server open may be a memory issue if it's caching.
112  Bitcoin / Mining software (miners) / Re: [Linux] Autominer v0.3.2.5 - GPU Monitor, Downtime Swapper, New Interface on: July 01, 2011, 01:46:13 PM
Do you think you can help with THIS?

I left my machine running during the night using your script and when I woke up it has stopped mining.
I tried connecting using VNC but I couldn't, so I connected via SSH and did sudo reboot.
So the machine was responsive, but it stopped mining for some reason.

Any ideas?

Usually that issue is related to running out of free memory. :S

Did you leave a VNC on overnight?

Sent them a donation.
114  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Let me tell you about Joe. on: July 01, 2011, 01:32:39 PM
He takes care of himself very well. He maintains a good shelter, feeds himself and waters himself whether it be through nature or exchanging with his neighbors. He hasn't particularly created any wealth but he always returns what he takes. Joe has caused no loss to another man nor any particular gain.

Is Joe an evil man?

from presented data, no.

This.
115  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What percent of Dollars are used for unethical things (compare to Bitcoin poll) on: July 01, 2011, 01:30:26 PM
Where is the 100% option? I would argue that every dollar is unethical because they all sponsor kidnap and murder by the state.
116  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 400 americans...... on: July 01, 2011, 01:29:05 PM
Who determines value? Subjective value is the only type of value which matters, because our subjective priorities are the only way of determining whether a transaction is worthwhile. As for progress being done at the third world's expense, that's bullshit. Ask the Chinese or the Filipinos whether they'd rather the factories disappeared and they could go back to living in rural farming communities with 13 hour working days for sustenance.

This whole ridiculous argument about the third world avoids context. This isn't the evil West forcing third world people out of wonderful Unicorn land and into slavery in a factory, to them it's a way out of the farms, into urbanisation and into a better future for them and their families. The fastest improvements these days are coming in the developing world. Countries like China, Nigeria and India (not the USA, Japan et al) are experiencing the fastest growth rates in the world.

The left likes to paint the developing world as a dystopia of doom and gloom but it just isn't. Life expectancies are rising, birth rates are falling, economies are growing. The left push for aid but in reality it is those countries suckling on the aid teat the most (Africa) which grow the least. Encouraging this dependance isn't just a waste of money, it's harmful to the countries involved and to their progress.

And yes, in the first world, we are all kings now. The division of labour and globalisation have given us all far more choice than royalty throughout history enjoyed and at a far lower cost.

Thank fuck for the market.

Done.

With effort this could run on Mac, as Mac is compatible with bash script, you'd just have to get screen working.

I'm not sure if Phoenix runs on Mac though.

As far as I know, to make it run on Windows would require switching to another programming language and forgoing the core of the program (GNU Screen).
119  Economy / Goods / Re: Social Gaming Engine for Sale [10k/month or more income potential!] on: July 01, 2011, 08:57:11 AM
Somewhere around $70,000... I assume that would include exclusivity? Otherwise this market could end up getting very saturated.
