OP is all bullshit easily disproved just look around.

@saddambitcoin, @myagui, thank you for your replys. It turned out I did make a new address at mymonero. I guess I'll have to take a better care of my stash. Is there an exponential term for Ambarresed? I'm getting old.... I dread the day I'm so old I don't recognize my age related failures. I have a sneaking suspicion it's closer than I think. It might be a relief when you no longer recognize them Ignorance is bliss... ? When I get there I won't get headaches anymore thinking of the circular logic here rite?

The United States is found on the principle that the people have a duty to not allow tyranny. Clearly the current living conditions (in the United States) are far more tyrannical than the ones that forced the independence in 1776, and are listed in the Declaration. If I was American, I would be among the true patriots, following not only the spirit, but also the letter of the Declaration of Independence in not allowing tyranny in my life, and a good place to start is where it is most apparent, in the realm of money.
This is hyperbolic rhetoric, in my opinion, especially with the parenthetical qualification "(in the United States)". In 1776 the people living in the soon-to-be states were paying fealty to a king thousands of miles away, having to let his soldiers stay in their homes, living with no representation, slavery, indentured servitude, and oppression of women, natives, and imported slave labor, etc. Maybe if you left off the qualification you could argue that the USA is now oppressing/tyrannizing people in other countries, but I'd still call that quite a stretch. So you are saying the USA is not tyrannical? Pretty much, yes, especially within the context of people living within the United States. I know that's not a popular opinion among the uber-libertarians and crypto-anarchists that tend to be attracted to cryptocurrency, but it's just my opinion. Considering the list of world-powers/super-powers over the last few hundred years, the USA is probably the least tyrannical (maybe if you call the amalgam of countries that make-up the EU a super-power they would be a bit less "tyrannical"). The world has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the Truth.

ADD: I regard violent means of overthrowing the tyrannical government as dysfunctional. Gandhi is more my style. If you never step down from the moral win position, the enemy spends all its power fighting you and exposing themselves, and even if you die, you win.
Not that it is impossible anyway.

I think they are biased. Not a fan. for some reasons I think btc-e would be the best fit Aren't they the exchange that froze all that BTC because it was tainted? Not sure I can trust an exchange that might freeze my funds.

Looks like NOBL is in danger of being delisted at BITTREX, are we letting this coin die? or are we still looking for both coins to succeed?
That won't be good. Nobl still has value and potential. I thought NOBL was community driven now? That's why I divested. Nope, we never wanted control of it, just kept it warm for rofo Looked to me like a P&D crew was pushing to take the reins so I got out and I think rofo moved on as well but I can't speak for him. I'm pretty impressed he kept the market place going through the whole thing.

...I fail to see the problem.
This bothers me. A serious debate is happening in an environment that's almost devoid of technical input, at least from technical people who aren't part of the intelligence establishment. I guess I'm still steaming about the whole Bullrun thing. Bullrun is a perfect example as to why one must never trust anything that is propriety when it comes to protecting Privacy and Liberty. Exactly, scary Orwellian world we live in. XMR Integration / DEMO...
KILLER!

... What to do if you receive funds before they are blacks-listed and then they become blacklisted after you receive them. It wouldn't be right to punish someone who couldn't have known. So any criminal will take advantage of this and swap the bitcoins for clean ones instantly, the exact moment of the crime. His bitcoins will be clean, and so will be the ones that the recipient never could have known were involved in a crime.
On the other hand the government might decide that it wasn't particularly interested in being reasonable, which they rarely if ever are, than they might blacklist coins after people receive them. In which case the lack of fungibility would be a HUGE problem. It could destroy bitcoin.
Yes, This is the crux. Those coins can be Seized as one of a list of definitions whether they be considered assets or any other medium. And for those that say the US gov is not the world, wake up, they rule the world economy whether you I or anyone else likes it. wouldnt a blacklist make the currency completely unusable since the atomic units have allready been mixed so much? or would they just try to block "recent" crime coins so the currency still works?
Don't worry. The state will confiscate and clean them up for us. Then they'll give you the privilege of buying back those shiny white coins through any of the state approved outlets in your area of residence. After your BTC address has been properly registered, licensed, taxed and all "fees" paid up to date of course.

The NXT Foundation has handled the organisation and payment for the conference so far, and we will be able to sign off on the contracts for PayExpo as a legal entity. I think the NXT Foundation should foot the bill. Those deep pockets need to support their side chains.

So once the database is released for all to enjoy (which is so soon its about to fall off the branch - fruit/github pun!!!) what're we going to start clamoring for / working on next? ...
Do to the dependencies what we need is a hierarchy branch structure of the development schedule. This would make the Teams goals much easier to understand for the layman. Visual representation is so much easier to point out than reiterating lists. Something like a flowchart with arrows would be great for this in my opinion. EDIT: The flowchart could also be updated with people who are working on it, that would make communicating a lot easier and the work will probably go a lot faster. Really a simple Block diagram should be fine. this link might have the right template http://www.breezetree.com/articles/flowchart-templates.htmFlowcharting is designed to handle decision making. yeah, i found a couple tools. I've used flow charts as block diagrams, but if someone actually reads flow charts language, it could get confusing. https://www.gliffy.com/https://drive.draw.io/https://www.lucidchart.com/I think a couple of them have options for collaborative work, though I don't know how they handle version control or "pull requests". But I agree with the hierarchy comment - it would help both newcomer developers and the noncoders (thats me!!). For instance, there was a newcomer developer that popped into #monero and #monero-dev, all gung-ho to develop. He/she was pointed in proper directions, but I don't know what happened to him/her. But to embrace the decentralized nature of things, anyone should be able to stumble into the github via getmonero.org, see a fertile field that needs planting, and go a'forking without popping into IRC to see whats up. But I could have no idea what I'm talking about because, yah know, noob and noncoder. So I'll just go do the dishes Your doing great, wish I had the energy to get more involved but I can't even get up the drive to accomplish shit in my own life so I'll just sit here and cheer lead you guys on.

OK, so I don't know if this is OT or not but here goes.
What's your opinions on BTC next stable price? I will have to be buying in again and obviously want to grab BTC as low as possible as it's nothing more than a vehicle to XMR for me.
I am very curious as to how many monero holders take this stance. Are you "All in" or do you hold some xbt? I know it's heresy to ask how much btc deep these "all in"ers (or anyone) are as it infers approximate xmr holdings, but my curiosity begs the question still. I don't believe in BTC and won't even be bothered to call it XBT as most of the world doesn't know or even care what XBT means and barely knows what BTC means. I think it's retarded to try to rename something that is just getting a foothold in peoples mind. But I think XBT (happy?) will be gone in under a decade as the Blockchain will (If it hasn't already) be completely mapped and when that happens then All hell will break loose as LEA and Lawyers will be going apeshit over who owns what. It's already been shown by Coins being blacklisted from exchanges and gateways like coinbase collecting user info, the writing is on the wall. Nomenclature semantics aside, I simply find interest in the motivations of different xmr investors. I share many of your concerns for btc (happy?, ) and have gravitated to Monero for similar reasons. I believe bitcoins fungibility is fundamentally broken. It's development has also failed to remain agile, miserably. However I still see significant gains to be made down the road. I still hold a strong belief that for Monero to make it, bitcoin has to make it first. The public will be too cynical of cryptocurrencies if bitcoin fails. If crypto is to happen, it rather needs to succeed then fade into the background as something superior takes over. Otherwise I think some kind of state sponsored cryptocurrency may be the more likely outcome. EDIT: Don't want to be OT. Looks like 0.003 is quite determined to be the price of monero right now. I don't disagree, I did not mean to sound like I think BTC will crach and burn. I just see it going the LTC route albeit slowly as it is not an abandoned project. I think Bagholders will be looking to diversify and that is one reason XMR got a nice shot in the arm recently and I fully expect that to continue. As time passes holders will continue to see the threads come apart and will inevitably drift toward XMR and/or other alternatives. AFA the bolded statement, I cannot see any scenario where that will happen. The writing is on the wall and the only reason it will not be a quick death is large holders (and stubborn true believers) will shore up their investments as they divest. To address the "motivations of different xmr investors" I cannot speak for others but mine is simply the belief that it is needed for a free society and anything supporting that goal is where you will find me.
