Whats really is bad from a user point is the huge block download, people will think it sucks, but my guess is that it will also
be adressed.
This is pretty much the only thing that is not optimal. People have no problem waiting two hours to download a movie. |

managing 550 email addresses is not free!  |
|
|
|
I just created a new email for it.
Best spam solution coz you also know who or where your email address was garnered from.
I do that every time I sign up to anything on the planet ... I've got about 550 email addresses - rarely have to close them down ...
There's a better way - sign up for hushmail service. Its free for a year, then it costs $30/year. They have a feature called pseudonyms - you can add an unlimited number of these to your account, they are just like creating a new email account. If you get spam on a specific pseudonym, just delete it from your list. |

Honestly, I know it's an impossible task, as I have already mentioned, bitcoins don't really exist.
Bitcoins exist just as much as any solid matter exists. Most "solid" objects such as a wooden desk are mostly empty space, by a HUUUUGE ratio, about 10^15. The electrical fields of the atoms make matter feel solid. This is a rediculous comparision, that does not deserve a response. That's a pointless comment, I won't bother reacting to it. |

The electrical fields of the atoms make matter feel solid. One could in theory create an app together with hardware and a projection system that can create the illusion of holding physical bitcoins. The more bitcoin in a "stack", the heavier it would be. Interesting thought experiment.  Or, better yet, if somehow we could create a new element that is visible and solid, and somehow its properties would allow us to embed bitcoins in it. |

nope, that was not my point, it was solely to point out the inaccuracy in that guy's post stating that there was a higher murder rate ever in the UK than in the States, ever - except maybe in the middle ages or something 1,000 BC
Ok then. But i think if the USA had twenty cameras on every street corner like UK, there'd be lower homicide rate. Liberty does not lead to an abundance of morality. IMO, increased liberty leads to moral decay.  |

...snip... A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The people who make laws that violate the above are the criminals. Its funny - the purpose of the militia is to defend against armies. That means you need surface to air missiles, tanks, artillery and the like. Yet all you guys are allowed are firearms, which while marginally better than slings and crossbows, are useless against modern armies. That just means relaxed gun laws is NOT ENOUGH when deciding how much liberty is within the people's rights. Remember, the American constitution was written long before we had tanks, missiles and accurate artillery. |

triplehelix - ur tripping dood, everyone knows US>UK for that since forever & nearly 4 times > WTG gunslingers on ur "just slight HIGHER rates of murder" lol edit: guessing that the UK murder rates may have increased in the last few years, don't think that it was so PolPot before that though compared to the US, 3.9% difference doesn't make this possible & before it was maybe more on your end, like 5% or 6% more If the point of this debate is that more gun laws = less crime, then you lose, Otoh. Mexico has much stricter gun laws than the USA, and rates of homicide are 300% higher in Mexico. Mexico did not allow any right to bear arms until 1917. Still severely restricted today.

I think you misunderstood me. Edited my earlier post.
"Tainting" coins is a great way to kill bitcoin dead.
|
|
|
|
"tainted" is a meaningless term.
Agreed. I am speechless - how can intelligent people not understand this simple concept? Bitcoins don't commit crimes, people do. |

Could somebody feasibly make a living playing online computer games? Slaying dragons and such all day, gaining armor and weapons, selling weapons for Bitcoins, and on and on? That's badass!
Why not? People make money playing all sorts of games and sports. And selling the related equipment. (ogrr.com seems great btw) I can see how this could bring bitcoin mainstream. Games are the fastest growing medium of the entertainment sector. Gaming has the 2nd largest market share, after the film industry. There is an article in The Economist about this: http://www.economist.com/node/21541164The yearly gaming market cap is forecast to reach 82 billion dollars by 2015. Especially the online games sector is really booming:  |

Uhm, perhaps because the combined number of Bitcoin users in Iceland most likely doesn't exceed 7 people.
Before 1992, total user count of Euro currency was ZERO. Number of users is not a reason not to adopt a new currency. Yup, that's right, the internet is older than the Euro. |

"Autonomous" (in the true sense of the word) agent is a misnomer. To claim true autonomy is to declare a creation of consciousness. This will never be brought to reality by human minds alone. How about this: the creation of an 'autonomous' agent, which would send "donations" to a Presidential candidate, or the CEO of a large corporation. Or, one can commit a crime, such as robbery, and have two 'autonomous' agents as witnesses for an alibi, or as witnesses that someone else committed the crime. Largely, many efforts to create autonomy stem from self-centered goals. So, even if we could create consciousness, the agents we would create will undoubtedly be destructive and disruptive in general to human society. The world today is already overburdened with crime, fraud, oppression and injustice. Now give to every criminal, dictator and thief the ability to spawn an unlimited number of agents to do their bidding.  |

And so the arguments go on and on with no resolution.
Here in the US, the land of free gun ownership, there are plenty of people who'd love to see the Second Amendment repealed.
And I know for a fact that in the UK there are plenty of folks who wish they had something like their own Second Amendment.
We don't need a "resolution". The 2nd amendment is correct. Liberty works. Enough said. |

Willful ignorance
Such a nice turn of phrase ! Permission to re-use ? That's from 2 Peter 3:5. |

I have another idea. It's not as high tech as yours, but it has the advantage that you can implement it now. You need: 1. a safe. 2. a friend. You don't know the password to the safe, only your friend does. He refuses to open the safe for you unless you pay him 1 BTC. There - a physical safe you can open with bitcoin  Friend is the weak link - they can be blackmailed/coerced to release the password. |

I presume that we can ask small tweaks from the winning artist so that we can make the logo work with the template that we choose for our site.
If one of my submissions is chosen, I'll be happy to help make it fit your template. |

GPUMAX always has much higher rejects, but that isn't a problem since they pay more.
Maybe that used to be the case.... but it isn't now. My 300mh/s reject rate at GPUMAX ranges from 0.3 - 0.6%, lower than any pool i have mined at. |

I got a q9550 I wouldn't mind parting with for about 250 shipped...even includes a 'custom' heatsink [it's actually just a replacement for my stock 1]...
A i5-2500k costs a lot less than that and dismembers that CORE2Q chip in all benchmarks to boot. |
