WARNING! This is another troll/shill thread, started only to be later featured on some mass-madia article about how "unsafe" and "bad" bitcoin and bitcoin community is.

(like for example this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=196138.0 was created only to be later featured on http://www.redstate.com/2013/05/16/tech-at-night-bitcoins-central-bankers-kim-dotcom-censors-mega/ )

 i know that btc helps with network and everything but i didnt know it was this powerful amazing i wonder if btc will ever stop such power can be utilized.



What an idiot article.

How the hell can bitcoin mining ASIC be compared with supercomputers? You CANNOT use an ASIC for what these supercomputers do!

Their combined speed is 48 petaFLOPS, roughly equivalent to 5% of the bitcoin network.
Bullshit, bitcoin network computing power is exactly 0 FLOPS

Yesterday I got a Notice of Class Action Settlement in the mail. It described a $6 billion dollar settlement against Visa and Mastercard. Their crime?  Forcing users of their payment networks to pay excessive fees in violation of federal antitrust laws. The victims include any merchant who accepted Visa or Mastercard between 2004 and 2012.

Details of the settlement are also online here:

https://www.paymentcardsettlement.com/en

Our primary payment service providers have been actively and illegally ripping us off for years now. Even worse, V & M have used their position as a must-have payment option to force merchants to obey the rules or risk being kicked out of their network. For examples, V & M made merchants sign agreements specifically preventing them from:

  • Charging customers an extra fee if they pay with V or M
  • Offer discounts to customers who use cheaper, alternative forms of payment
  • form buying groups to to give merchants more power when negotiating with V & M

Thankfully the federal judge ruling on the case saw the truth and ruled in favor of the people in this case.

As you're watching bitcoin's exchange rate rise and fall today, remember the bitcoin is more than just an investment opportunity. It's an engine of financial revolution of a worldwide scale. The largest of the existing payment networks on the planet are actively, knowingly, and illegally screwing people out of their money. Bitcoin is our best hope to stop them in their tracks.

Did V & M put guns to the merchants' heads to sign the contracts? Not providing a service has become a use of force now?
Go check antitrust laws  Smiley

Hey read again. If you mine and sell for goods (say gold) you are fine. You just cannot mine and sell into USD directly. You could also mine and convert into LTC, for example. Then sell the LTC or the gold.

No, you cannot. If you convert BTC to LTC to USD in the US, then you are considered a 'money exchanger'. From now on, only centralized companies are allowed to handle Bitcoin exchanges. Such a company does not exist in the US. Or perhaps only CoinLab?

No, he's right. BTC to LTC is not virtual to real, but virtual to virtual. In fact, I think the BTC-to-gold is more risky, since gold could be considered a 'real currency or equivalent' since it's a commodity with highly liquid markets to/from USD. BTC-to-USD is clearly in violation here, though.
Gold is not money, so it is not currency
