What if you purchase goods and services with bitcoins?

I'm no expert, but I expect this would take till all eternity just to find one. Even vanitygen takes days just to find one instance of a 10 digit word in a key at 22 million hashes/sec on a good GPU. Now imagine having to not only find a full valid key (impossible already), but also having to verify every privkey after generating it.
You could get lucky, but what are the odds of finding a wallet of any significant value? Doesn't vanitygen create millions of useless wallets per second, to add to the senseless nature of the exercise?
If someone can inform us on the actual probabilities, would be nice.

Well, it comes not from God, it comes from reality:
"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Amazing insight from a book written 2000 years ago. That which is not seen does not appear, cannot exist except at the hand a God-creator. Else how could it exist? Things that do not appear, or abstract thought, can only come from a thinking mind. There are no other sources of abstract thought, and since you claim that human rights exist apart from a human mind, you have conceded that God does exist, and that all things are created by him. |

I find it refreshing that Bastiat is not afraid to give credit where it is due:
“We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life – physical, intellectual, and moral life.”
“Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.”

 Bitcoin is big problem for me....... .PFFFFFFFFmuhahahahahaaha. I have one or two tiny problems.Bitcoins are not one of them, thankfully. Have fun with your play money, CHUMPS. After I bury these clowns, what will I do with all the profit? First I will have my plastic surgeon remove this pimple from my lip. Then? Then.......... Right, I remember: Jeeves: have my mistresses checked. |

Someone just installed a Rapidleech in their new server and it's going into the warez business. Guess who?
Link? |

Taking megaupload takedown into consideration this scenario is IMHO not only probable, but inevitable.
This is flawed comparison. I think we can assume that 90+% of Megaupload's traffic was illegal/cracked apps/games/movies/music. If 70-90% of all bitcoin transactions involved illegal drugs/weapons, then you might have an argument. Bitcoin {IS NOT} a Megaupload. Of course it is not. And we are not even talking about Bitcoin, but MtGox, specifically. But how does that matter to the US government ? Right. MTGox {IS NOT} a Megaupload. THat's what I mean to say. How it matters? No one is breaking any laws by transacting bitcoins using MTGox. Contrast that to uploading copyrighted material to a public server, which is by itself a direct criminal act in many countries. |

Well, I didn't mean to imply that OTC is a requirement to exchange funds, but that's how it is being read, seemingly.
OTC is not the only way to build trust, that is why you guys were able to do without it.

+1 on the Samsung Galaxy SII:
1. Awesome screen. (size is perfect for me, bigger than iphone)
2. Great battery life. I use it hard (high-res gaming, video) and it lasts nearly all day.
3. Tough beast. Dropped mine on gravel while riding my bike. Not a mark on it with just a silicon skin + screen protector.
4. Very popular, there will be are tons of accessories for it.
5. Great camera.
6. Fast.
7. Super thin and not heavy.
8. Android rules.

I'm impressed. This thread looks like 90%+ of the lending business (lenders) contributing to the OP misnomer. I can think of a couple that haven't written something, or who don't need to.
btw - I agree with znort - having been talked through GPG signing by INAU in slightly under two hours and going on IRC, I haven't been back since. It was a giant PITA.
I hate it, I dont have the time, I read the the directions.. And im no slouch with computers.. Its a PITA, and my time is valuable. in other words... Fuck that noise.. BOUNTY! 10 bitcoins to a OTC type system for bitcoin lending and trades that is easier than microwave popcorn Thunderbird with Enigmail. You mean using an actual mail client like in the 90's ? How quaint and charming  Lol, Yes as opposed to IRC from the 80's. He did ask for Easy. Most things that are worth doing are not easy. OTC registration is one of them. Its just like many aspects of the business world - if you want to taken seriously, you have to jump through a few hoops first. |

Looking to buy a package of premium file hosting accounts.
- I'm not interested in one or two sites, I need a wide gamut of 6 to 10 hosters.
- Needs to be 6 months or 1 year of access, minimum.
- Will pay a reasonable price, but nowhere near the going rate that these sites are asking. Make me an offer.
- I'm also interested in alternatives. Got a better solution? I'm listening.
- Anyone with low rep must be willing to use escrow.

I'm not here to offend anyone but nearly 90% of bitcoin services seem extremely unprofessional and the look like something a 12 year old made.
That applies to just about any internet website made before 2000 AD. |

Don't blame you for wanting one of these: its the most beautiful banknote i've seen in my life. Note: Pictures don't do it justice. The polymer makes it as slinky as silk. The red $50 note looks even better.   |

What the title says.
Non-reputable, unverified members please don't respond. If you have less posts than me, I will not send first.
I need a $100 or so in VV or other CC (must work in app store.)
