You don't think there is any reason to buy? What about recently when the Price dropped from 3.80 to what it is now the manipulator cashed out all there is left to do is buy buy buy. I think we will see a rally soon enough downward trend has stopped and guarantee the manipulator is looking to turn his hefty amount of cash back into bitcoins again

With bitcoin-unique i mean something which business model could not function well without bitcoin.

ya that's what I'm trying to figure out. I don't wana talk about more then two items pre Category. I don't want to go on the air and simply list all bitcoin businesses.

what's to stop anyone adding the magic line to their conf file?  Presumably you have to ask sweetly for the information.
1 million Solidcoins.
And then sell it to a 10 people for 200k and make a tidy profit?
Well it's impossible for someone to buyout 1 million Solidcoins, without driving the price up, increasing the miner production, thus increasing supply and creating even more millionaires in the process. Right now there is under 2 mil "spendable" coins in existence. Trying to buy those 2 million coins would cause a market frenzy, increasing mining production, and increasing the inflationary rate of the coins.

I really don't think you along with many people here have a fundamental understanding of what Solidcoin aims to be, and why it's an awesome alt currency. There has been alot of stupid decisions made by RS from a marketing/public relations perspective. Me and other people in the community were very vocal about this, and many of the problems of "total RS control" are being fixed.

How do you think Russia and other strategic partners to Iran react to Tehran burning in flames at the hands of the "wicked west"?

The sad part is, I really think they are crazy enough to do it. That will start an evil chain reaction, and then starts the "holy war". Is that what you really want?

Iran is NOT going to start a nuclear war. They're highly rational and risk-averse. They're not going to commit mass-suicide/murder in a nuclear attack.

They have a military budget of $9 billion, or 1/80th that of the US. The US recently purchased 20 bunker buster bombs for $300 million. In other words, one order of US bombs costs more than 3% of Iran's annual military budget.

Even if Iran acquired a nuclear weapon, it would be a primitive one, with a yield on the order of magnitude of "Little Boy". A study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies concluded that IF Iran acquired over thirty nuclear bombs, and had a nuclear exchange with Israel, it would be destroyed beyond the point of recovery, and would lose 16-28 million people, while Israel would lose 500,000 and could survive:

US report: Israel would weather nuclear war with Iran

And this assumes Iran will get 30 bombs, which is completely unrealistic, given the level of international scrutiny it's under. Iran's Supreme Leader has even issued a fatwa against nuclear weapons, yet this war propaganda continues, and people continue to buy into it.

For thirty years, a Iranian nuclear bomb has been imminent:

Imminent Iran nuclear threat? A timeline of warnings since 1979.

Quote
1992: Israeli parliamentarian Benjamin Netanyahu tells his colleagues that Iran is 3 to 5 years from being able to produce a nuclear weapon – and that the threat had to be "uprooted by an international front headed by the US."

1992: Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres tells French TV that Iran was set to have nuclear warheads by 1999. "Iran is the greatest threat and greatest problem in the Middle East," Peres warned, "because it seeks the nuclear option while holding a highly dangerous stance of extreme religious militanCY."

***

1995: The New York Times conveys the fears of senior US and Israeli officials that "Iran is much closer to producing nuclear weapons than previously thought" – about five years away – and that Iran’s nuclear bomb is “at the top of the list” of dangers in the coming decade. The report speaks of an "acceleration of the Iranian nuclear program," claims that Iran "began an intensive campaign to develop and acquire nuclear weapons" in 1987, and says Iran was "believed" to have recruited scientists from the former Soviet Union and Pakistan to advise them.

1997: The Christian Science Monitor reports that US pressure on Iran's nuclear suppliers had "forced Iran to adjust its suspected timetable for a bomb. Experts now say Iran is unlikely to acquire nuclear weapons for eight or 10 years."

If they even *TRY* to nuke Isreal they will be obliterated. They are close to *trying*...

I never said they would succeed...
1292  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: UK severs ties with Iranian Banks on: November 22, 2011, 04:42:47 AM
They have openly stated that they want to eradicate Isreal and essentially start the holy war (World War 3).
If they attack israel, I will volunteer to Iranian army. I also want to see that nest of evil zionism destroyed. If the western minions of jewish israel will not intervene, there will be no WW3 and the liberation of Palestine from zionists will be fast and not more deadly than Korea war.
You know that's not going to happen. If Iran even tries to nuke Isreal they will be obliterated.

The sad part is, I really think they are crazy enough to do it. That will start an evil chain reaction, and then starts the "holy war". Is that what you really want?

Death and destruction for all humanity?
I think Iranian leaders are brave and selfless enough to do that. If the jews and iluminati does not rule over the world, there will be no chain reaction. But even such possibility should not stop the restoration of justice and punishment (death penalty) for israel and jews.

There will be no destruction of all humanity. The danger of nuclear weapons are greatly exaggerated. In cold war both americans and soviets used enemy nukes to frighten the population and have the minds of people against capitalism/communism. In reality there is hundreds of nukes gone off in USA, and You are still living fine. In real war there will be maximum under 100 nuclear explosions, with less total yield than from all nuclear testings together. And modern nuclear weapons are more eco-fiendly, since they are more effective in using nuclear material than first generations of nukes.

Ok we get it, you hate Isreal and all Jews. I think your ideology is pretty disgusting considering that the most evil man this planet has ever seen tried to eradicate them from the face of the earth, not to long ago... But let me guess, you don't think that ever happened do you?  Roll Eyes

You are officially a lunatic. "Modern nuclear weapons are more eco-friendly". Let me spill out a few facts for you, and hopefully you can comprehend them, and become a better person because of them.

FACT 1: NO MODERN NUCLEAR WEAPON IS "ECO-FRIENDLY"
FACT 2: IRAN by all indications is actively pursing a nuclear bomb.
FACT 3: IF IRAN GETS A NUCLEAR BOMB, THEIR LEADERS ARE CRAZY ENOUGH TO USE IT.
FACT 4: IF IRAN EVEN TRY'S TO NUKE ISREAL THEY WILL BE OBLITERATED BY THE "WEST" EFFECTIVELY JUMP STARTING WW3.


It will start and end just as fast as pulling up a webpage, because of the power and speed of your "eco-friendly nukes"

Btw this is in the wrong section, belongs in Politics / Society...

I believe most of the youth in Iran want the very same things all of us in this forum want. Freedom, decent living conditions for their loved ones, and a shot at a brighter future. It's their nut job politicians and Imams that are fucking shit up for the rest of the world. And also poor sympathizers like yourself who simply don't have all their facts right.

IF there are any Iranians reading this message. You can change this.
1294  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: UK severs ties with Iranian Banks on: November 22, 2011, 03:53:36 AM
NO FUCKING THANKS.

THINK APPS PEOPLE, APPS...

If not this shit WILL fail simply on it's merits.

FFS - They have openly stated that they want to eradicate Isreal and essentially start the holy war (World War 3).

I could essentially go on for atleast 10 pages on crazy shit they have said, and are now acting on!

ARE WE THIS DESPERATE?

EDIT: I read that conversation and I have no problem with individuals in Iran using Bitcoin to overthrow their oppressive regime. I think that's what the majority of Iranians in that country want anyways. But an active
"Iran promo" campaign is a bad idea, and only brings more negative press that Bitcoin is trying to shake off right now. Let people find their own uses to Bitcoin through easy to use apps/services Smiley.
1295  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The new interface in Bitcoin 0.5.0 is BAD! on: November 22, 2011, 03:49:28 AM
... add Facebook support just like Skype did, so lamers can see each others bitcoin adresses and update they statuses when they send bitcoins.

That's actually a good idea.

  You know, as much as the thought of anything relating to social media makes me want to gag on a spoon, this is actually an excellent idea...
It's the type of shit people like me have been talking about for months...

Just no easy way to implement any of it...

Social Media shouldn't make you gag by the way...

Bitcoin can be seen as a more streamlined approach to monetizing "social media".

I'm not willing to take the risk of missing the boat for another few percentage points.
This is a good point but it is possible that the price is still going down another 50% so that's not only "few percentage points". However it's also possible that $2 triple bottoms and we never see $1.x again. This is why I'm also thinking of a partial re-entry at this stage. Not even thinking about all-in yet, but I think the current situation warrants a partial move.

But look at the people who bought in at 25 or higher. If the price drops 50% from where it is now, to them it is only a 5% drop. They are already down 90%, what's a couple points more? Especially if they are "smart" investors and only put in what they were willing to loose in the first place.


Dead on (though I did not really get going with Bitcoin until around the time of the Mt. Gox outage thank God, and I bought a majority of my holdings on various large dips so my loss is much less than I would have thought.)  Lemme add a few things from personal perspective.

I based a lot of my decision to own Bitcoin on certain fundamentals which have really not (yet) changed.  The seeming robustness of the system, the usefulness of something which could be easily transported around the world, the non-single point of failure properties, etc.  I was dead wrong about how low the demand could get, but I've no reason to reject most of the fundamentals behind my decision.

I consider anything less than several years to be 'short-term' and did not really expect my interest in Bitcoin to be short-term.  I am only a short time into my anticipated involvement.  Again, I did not expect to lose so much USD so quickly, but I also put no more in than I could easily afford to part with.  It's just that I expected to kiss the money goodbye if Bitcoin was cracked rather than in a general market decline.  Oh well...the net effect is the same (although the market could re-bound which is more likely than if there had been a terminal exploit to the Bitcoin network.)


+1

I will admit I have invested considerable amounts of money in purchasing Bitcoins, and "high-end" gear to mine. I knew that I could loose every single red cent I put into this investment, but in the end the thing that made me take the final leap were the fundamentals.

Those have not changed.
