(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
 
Quote
   If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father.  Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

What kind of lunatic would make a rape victim marry her attacker?  Answer: God.


The idea is protection of the child and the parents at the same time. Some other opetions:
1. You could execute all three;
2. You could execute the mother and fetus and punish the guy;
3. You could let the state or the parents raise the child, and execute the guy.

There isn't any happy solution. The idea is that the kid gets as normal of a life as possible. That's with two parents. Besides, these things were somewhat the way things were done in those days, all over the place, not simply at God's command.

However, these days, when Stockholm Syndrome sets in, some rape victims marry their attacker voluntarily.

Vod, you're kinda talking nonsense.

Smiley

I'm sorry, I must not be reading clearly.  I could have sworn that you imagined three alternative means of justice that all involved execution, and also that you believe a silver payment and forced, terminal marriage to her sexual abuser is a good way to protect a rape victim.

Surely you must have meant something else, right?
1062  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blocks are still taking way too long. on: October 13, 2014, 08:54:34 AM
Over 30 minutes for a single confirmation does not (and will not ever) work in the real world.
(Almost) Every time I start to believe that BTC is "going mainstream", I have a delay waiting for a 30+ minute block....  Shocked

solution:
if your paying for a coffee or a mars bar, dont wait. if your buying a house wait 30 minutes

solution:
if your paying for a coffee or a mars bar, use LTC or DOGE. if your buying a house wait 30 minutes  Wink
One confirmation with LTC or DOGE is much less secure then a 0/unconfirmed TX with bitcoin. Both of their network is not secure so it would be easy to attack the network and reverse your TX. Once a TX is propagated throughout the network, nodes will not accept TXs that use the same inputs so you will not be able to broadcast a TX that spends the same inputs, the only way to double spend is to confirm a block that uses at least one of the same inputs as what you just spent. As long as the value of your cup of coffee is less then what it costs to mine the next block then you are almost certainly safe to accept a 0/unconfirmed TX after the TX has been properly propigated

Not disagreeing with you , but isnt LTC fairly secure?  
It is the most secure altcoin out there as of now but the short block time gives a misleading picture as to how secure it's network is. Even if it has the same difficulty as bitcoin it's 2.5 minute block time means that it takes 25% of the work to find one block and there will be at least 4x as many orphaned blocks.

If you want to do an apple to apples comparison of network security the LTC network has a difficulty of ~36.5 thousands now, compared to 35 million for bitcoin. Granted BTC and LTC miners are not interchangeable but I think this gives a pretty good comparison as to how easy it would be to attack either network.  

The thing is that one confirmation is more secure than zero confirmations as it prevents a whole category of zero confirmation double spend attacks. So that confirmation comparison you're making is only accurate for a comparison of attacks where a rogue miner is actually publishing blocks. And the amount of time you need to wait for the same amount of security is the same so they're actually equivalent. Like I said up thread, the only disadvantage to shorter block times seems to be more orphans, but since it's something that benefits the end user I would think most people who aren't miners would actually be behind such a change. And the smart ones who are miners will see that despite the fact that they will be wasting some hash in some cases, the potential gains in demand and positive perception due to people not having to wait around 30 minutes for a confirmation often enough should make up for it in the long run. That's just conjecture of course, but considering the amount of complaints we hear about Bitcoin's slow block targets I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

It's not just more secure, it's infinitely more secure.

Fast-confirm coins absolutely have a niche, in my opinion.

In this thread we've already seen personal valuations at ~200% current market rate, but this means nothing.  The posters don't even believe in their personal valuations because nobody's partaking in the 50% off sale going on all day every day.
I can't speak for anyone else, but every spare dollar I have buys me more BTC. I've been loving these 300 days.

Good to know  Cheesy  My unspoken position is also letting me enjoy these prices.
1064  Economy / Speculation / Re: Your current valuation of a bitcoin? on: October 13, 2014, 04:39:10 AM
I value mine at a million $ each.

Just waiting for the market to catch up

If you don't value others' the same, then that implies you don't believe bitcoins are fungible.

Edit:  I know you were joking.
1065  Economy / Speculation / Re: Your current valuation of a bitcoin? on: October 13, 2014, 04:36:44 AM
I don't particularly like the question because it's sort of irrelevant.

When I say "sort of irrelevant," I don't mean that individual opinion doesn't matter, but this is an auction market in which trading occurs across vastly different mediums.  In this thread we've already seen personal valuations at ~200% current market rate, but this means nothing.  The posters don't even believe in their personal valuations because nobody's partaking in the 50% off sale going on all day every day.  There's money up for grabs at half-off and nobody's buying.

I just don't think it's the best interpretation to visualize the market as requiring some Universal price anchor or pricing mechanism, but rather value will be determined by localized factors as it has been.  For example, certain factors make valuation on Bitstamp different from BTC-e, and certain factors also affect valuation of BTC traded on the chain vs. off the chain.  The price of BTC on BTC-e is always lower because it's simply near impossible to directly fund your account with fiat.  The price on Local Bitcoins is simply misleading because the spreads are ridiculous and the depth isn't there.   The prices asserted in this thread are, at best, hearsay because nobody is trading at these prices.

You are a scammer and a troll simply because you never utilized my services and because of that you cant have an opinion on how professional or agressive i am with my customers. It is  safe to assume that your opinion was supplied to you by somebody for a little bounty therefore you most likely were paid by this people "trolls for coin" or whatever they are called. I can see only them paying for this kind of service here.

Really, really bad idea to call legit users scammers when all they are doing is voicing an opinion or a belief about your services.

This can be considered libel, and if you target the wrong person, particularly someone who potentially has a lot to lose from defamation, you may find yourself in a very uncomfortable legal situation you really wish you hadn't gotten yourself into...

why dont you  bring it on talk is cheap ill ruin you in cort lol
Plus i was under the impression you guys are libertarians here - you obviously not - so you are not even a bitcoin lover - wth are you doing here...

First of all, you can't ruin me in court.  You can't even spell court.  Talk is cheap when people make reasonable opinions based upon some evidence, such as the statements left by others in your trust feedback.  Talk can be very expensive if you make an unfounded claim undermining the reputation of somebody else for which you know you have no evidence, which is what you have done in the feedback you have provided to several *very* respected members of this community.

Second of all, why are you telling me to bring it on?  Before this post, as far as I know I've never directed any comments towards you or your services.  I did, however, read your posts, and I agree with others' opinions that you are unprofessional in your demeanor.  

Third, libertarianism?  Lol what the hell?  How do you draw conclusions about views about politics and Bitcoin from a comment made to you about libel after you provably accused others of being scammers simply because you don't like their opinions about your behavior?



Although i cant spell court i still have access to more resources and better lawyers so yes i will ruin you in court.

Lol go for it dude.

I wouldn't call South Park "niche."  I saw the Book of Mormon musical -- which is basically South Park wrapped in a different package and performed live -- twice, and I'd guess there were more people in their 40's and 50's than there were people in their 20's.  I even counted dozens of senior citizens couples.

But yes, Good Wife was mainstream and it generated a noticeable uptick in Bitcoin searches that lasted for a couple days.  Overall impact on the price was fairly negligent IIRC.

^^ This is why this post thread exists.

My date registered is a bit later, but I still feel there is a core point of technology that still hasn't been fully realized.  I work in technology, and this is still new to people like me.  This is a long play, even if it isn't Bitcoin that makes it happen.  Crypto is here to stay, and that idea will only grow with time.

That's effectively my stance.  Bitcoin as a currency is incredibly interesting, but in my opinion not nearly as interesting as the decentralized network upon which it operates.

My only point in referencing the registration date of the OP is only to highlight that this type of volatility is nothing new, and we've ebbed and flowed through these cycles before.  To say that Bitcoin is "becoming" like a pump-and-dump blah blah blah is a statement cast from a more narrow range of experience.
