I found an amazing ebook piracy site where all ebooks are about 95% off. Very large selection. It takes Bitcoin. Would it be OK to share it?
It's not okay to illegally download stuff, no matter how obscure the product is. Please don't, or I'll add you to my ignore list. |

Morning show hosts are so f**king stupid. Except for NPR hosts. They actually have working brain cells in the morning.

Last year, I did a presentation on Bitcoin in front of my class. Here are some of the questions they asked:
"How is this better than PayPal?"
"Is this backed by the government?"
"How does this have value if it's not backed by a government?"
"How do I set up a Bitcoin account?"
"Is this stuff regulated like gift cards?"
"Do you need a credit card to use Bitcoin?"
These questions were from some of the smartest people at my school.

My SO has banned me from buying bitcoin. I watched bitcoin go down to $425 / BTC on coinbase briefly a couple days ago, but I was unable to take advantage of it. My SO has declared, "Bidcoin is just a ponzi scheme cooked up by nerds. If you buy any bidcoin, I will break up with you. I don't sleep with nerds."  I honestly advise you to get a new SO. And not because of bitcoin.  What the hell is an SO? Is it like a stock broker? In this case SO = the chick that has his balls in a glass jar on her desk. I thought it was like a securities advisor or something like that. |

Under the Crytocurrency Consitution, Crypto trademarks cannot be claimed by any individual or entity.
I know of the Cryptocurrency King, the cryptocurrency universe, and the cryptocurrency economy but I never heard of the Cryptocurrency Constitution? I made it about a year ago, just search it, haven't taken the draft copy off, but no one suggested changes so its the final copy now have got a few digital copy's plus a framed one on the wall like it came out of an old Spanish galleon on top of this I'm planning the Cryptocurrency Banking act though that's going to be some piece of work and will take a few months yet I don't recognize your constitution!  |

The price will continue to go up. To suck more of you in to owing larger amounts of clawback. Please buy. Selling won't make the culpability go away. Once you own Bitcoins, you are screwed. Make all the posts you want, you are still screwed. You think I am happy about this?!  I thought one of the benefits of Bitcoin was that all transactions are final. I'm not expecting to ever have someone be able to randomly "cancel" a transaction. I guess other than some sort of involuntary fork.
Well so now you know, Bitcoin is a zillion times worse than cash and gold in this respect, because the chain of ownership is recorded in public forever. The only way I see to improve this is very strong, widespread anonymity, coupled with decentralized exchanges, etc... So we can hopefully get the advantages of digital money without the severe drawbacks. Note Bitcoin has ZERO anonymity, even when you try to be anonymous using Tor, CoinJoin, Dark Wallets, etc.. Everyone knows that Bitcoin isn't anonymous. How do you think Blockchain.info gets its data? |

New members: I know you like posting your first thread, but please don't post a whole thread to say hi. It overloads the system. Please introduce yourself HERE instead! Post something personal, that is interesting. Don't say "hi". EX: I'm RichG, and I've been here since January 2013. I'm the operator of 1btc.org. |

Lots of good info here, but honestly never liked using this site  Always lose my best post and see way too much The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later. And I am a very quiet type, don't know why i am typing this out it surely won't post. Best regards, John Moore  These are spamming countermeasures. I suggest you continue being an active member of the community, and you will find that the posting limits will go away. I'm Sr. Member, and I don't have issues posting. Have a nice day! |

See other topic: Perhaps the allowed signature styling should change with activity score / membergroup. Like:
- Newbie: No styling (including links) allowed. Max 40 characters.
- Jr. Member: Links allowed. Max 100 characters.
- Member: Unlimited length.
- Full: Color allowed.
- Sr. Member: Size allowed
- Hero: Background color allowed
Then newbies will be less effective advertisers, which would hopefully significantly reduce the incentive for low-content posts. And when people become capable of effectively advertising through their signatures, they'll have invested a lot of time into their accounts, and they won't risk being banned by spamming.
This is an improvement. I'm annoyed when newbies flash gigantor 72pt sigs. At least I advertise my own site. |

Didn't you get the memo? Reserved posts are banned, dude. I'll help, though. |

I propose that going forward, if someone wrongs you in anyway, the only appropriate response is to reply "Suck My Gox!"
Whose with me?
You fail. |

The number one thing my friends ask me:
How is this different from PayPal or Facebook credits?

It is one of the big red flags used against Bitcoin in the PR war, but I don't see it as being this seamless conduit for dirty money.
Most money that flows to exchanges comes via a bank transfer. If the money is in the bank, it's already in the system.
Likewise money flows from sale of bitcoins into bank accounts and is therefore on the radar.
Add to that the eternal nature of the blockchain and any progress in de-anonymizing software and Bitcoin doesn't seem to be any better than other methods.
I understand services like local bitcoins can be used but that is generally a time inefficient way to launder.
There is also the darkweb / silkroad style, but there are plenty of trust issues to deal with there if you are looking to clean large amounts.
We have a choice. A choice between freedom or security. We need to make that choice. Now. They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
