Thanks for the public admission. Now what exactly does that screen shot prove?

The difference between 2012 apocalypse, and economic collapse is that it has happened over and over an over again since the beginning of society. Associating it with crazy theories doesn't change history. Also you conveniently left out all of the famine and suffering that came before the innovation....

This guy is selling stolen accounts. Don't trade with him.
11967  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Beware of scammers! on: June 20, 2011, 11:56:30 AM
The account you sold me was stolen by your own admission. I repeatedly asked for a refund me instead you insisted on giving me another account. Given the fact that I could lose my other steam games, what makes you think I want anything else from you other than my BTC? You clearly have no qualms about stealing from people, what makes you think your word is worth more than a pile of dog dook to me? Yes... I'll just trust that this account is not stolen too... brilliant.

BTW your post report counter accusation is quite convincing.

why would the managers of a currency design it to fail?  if it were me i'd rather keep it going and rake in a bit of profit on it in the meantime. 

I'll give you a quick example.

Benny banker wants to make enough money so that his children, and his children's children never have to work. There aren't many capital goods available, and they are not profitable. Benny banker then makes a local currency called Benny Bucks. At first it is backed by gold and silver, but over time that backing wanes and is eventually removed completely. At this point nothing is stopping Benny from printing as many Benny Bucks as he wants, so he does. Benny then prints up money and gives it out as fast as he can in the form of loans. He prints and he prints and he prints as everyone holding a Benny Buck loses buying power.

 Sooner or later people start to notice the system is rigged. By that point Benny already got everyone to sign over all of their capital goods to him for loans of Benny Bucks. He then collects all of the real capital, while driving the value of the Benny Buck to the center of the earth. As this happens over a period of years more and more people are forced to get loans from Benny in order to survive. When people finally refuse to use Benny Bucks because he destroyed them, he now sits on all of his newly collected capitol, while everyone else has worthless scraps of paper.

There is not a single case in history where a fiat currency didn't end in horrible failure. Also by creating this fictitious money, people were persuaded to go to work and create real capital when they would otherwise have not have incentive to do so. The owners of the currency then scoop it all up, and start over with another fiat currency to begin the cycle all over again.

Well just because BTC is hit hard now doesn't mean thats what it will be worth in a week or a month. Regardless of current market conditions people still invested the same amount of time money and energy into each BTC.

I am taking this step to prevent possible future issues, not because there are any current issues. For privacy reasons I can not discuss the details of why I made this decision, so please don't ask.
11973  Economy / Marketplace / Re: High Roller Double Trouble - With Day 1 minimums back. on: June 19, 2011, 03:00:58 PM
What a surprise, a griefer. Took a break from masturbating to tentacle rape and kiddie porn on 4chan to bait here did ya?  Whatever keeps the thread moving.

Nothing happened - as I explained I reviewed their policy and found a potential future issue. I can't get more specific than that.

If you found a way to improve the existing security of bitcoin by say never having an unencrypted version of the wallet file touch the hard drive, along with perhaps some novel circumvention around keyloggers, I think demand for something like this would be high, especially as the newb parade joins in.

Have you considered the use of a gassifier? You can take any waste plant matter and convert it to combustible gas to power a generator.

No,
 I literally couldn't get it to load up for even a second - just instant lockup. This is a great idea tho, I can't wait to get a look at it.

Would it be possible to add an option to select the mtgox high, low, and current ask? What about a tradehill rate function? This is a great tool. Thanks for this!

I agree, this hole needs to be plugged.
11980  Other / Meta / Re: What happened to the Silk Road thread? on: June 19, 2011, 01:37:58 PM
I think the one thing people are overlooking is that Silk Road violates the forum policy of no illegal activity. Silk Road is clearly illegal regardless of your personal opinions on its operations. Although this will leave a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths - it was the right thing to do for the preservation of the community as a whole.
