Great! Thank you if you're in the team behind OB. It's a fantastic project, with huge potential, but it still needs work. I guess developers shall prioritize work related to ease of connection and stability issues over those over design, or personalization options.

If he is, so is BTC. M.Andersen has been the public face of BTC for many years, and he's probably the most respected BTC developer, only behind the unknown Satoshi. Sometimes, I wish he would still be in charge, there would be less of the governance problems BTC's going through.

Hey, think that if there were no welfare, they would be much, much less tax. So there would no need to to put your money abroad. Tax dodgers? They are heroes trying to save some money from the oppressive hands of Big Brother regimes like there is in the UK or Russia.

I know that. My point is that Tor, which is well known to be slow, works better than OB. And that is disappointing. I guess something can be done. You can help BTC by running a node on your home computer. Is there something similar which can help OB become successful?

The software's again failing to launch.

It's not about the physical wall , this is about Trump's project to stop all remittance between US and Mexico, but I don't think it could be done. Money has flowing freely for more than a century, and they are regulations not even a president can change.

So there was a transaction of .25 BTC yesterday at 11PM between wallet X and wallet Y. So dare you suggest it was illegal? It was aunt Arnie sending some money to little Tommy so he could buy books to perform better at school. So many bad mouth people... There's never been anything illegal sold or bought with BTC. Don't believe what they say on TV.

"No response was received from the server. It may be unreachable or taking a very long time to respond."

It's failing to start once again. You know, this is annoying. I understand I'm not at home, and that my connection isn't great, but I've just accessed Poloniex via Tor, so OB should work as well...

I don't like the idea of a dirty bomb because that implies there could be a clean one. But the real laughable part are that the biggest opponents to nuclear proliferation are the ones who have thousands of them. So we should be afraid of IS getting an atomic bomb, but we shall sleep if Trump has the button to the world's largest arsenal in his hand?

Welfare parasites? I like the idea but I don't see how anyone on welfare isn't a parasite. We shall put an end to all welfare programs, then we'll see if there will as many refugees coming. Borders would suddenly become useless. Only the adventurous would move abroad, and those people (yes, I'm one of them) have never needed welfare.

So what's wrong? Ive never understood how some people have the belief that men are a superior species, with the right to everything they please on the planet, and that they should be entitled to a nice house, a beautiful car, and a good standard of living. If the people shown in that documentary don't like their lives, they're millions who are willing to exchange their lives with them. In Bulgaria, minimum wage is $300 per month. In Ethiopia, there's no such thing as minimum wage, but people are happy to work 48 hours per week to get $100 at the end of the month, and they live in a place that a American wouldn't call a house, without running water.

How about India? I guess it's the country where the economical divide is the largest.

It's a pretty sad way to use BTC but I'm not surprised. If you can use BTC to hide money from governments, you can also use it to hide money from your wife.

You tell your wife you've lost money playing poker with friends, but you buy BTC anonymously via Localbitcoins instead...
(Those who didn't know how to do it can send me a tip. I've always been good at hiding money.)

That's what I meant. It doesn't matter that Windows is good or bad, or that using it wise or unwise. What matters is that of all computers which will be sold this year, probably ~85% will come with Windows. No one running an online store can ignore Windows users.

Bad advice! Sorry to point it out, but Windows is the most successful OS on the planet by far, so if OB wants to be successful as well, it needs to work perfectly on Windows. Pleasing Windows users is more important than pleasing Mac users.

Thanks, but I already know too well what I stand for. No need to make tests. I'll probably make the server explode, just like Homer Simpson testing the lie detector.
Then you must make sure the CIA isn't behind this test, recording IPs of anyone replying.

It's not only Germany. I think all western European countries have some kind of a free-for-all basic income. That's how terrorists manage to survive. All the Arabs in Belgium and France plotting to bomb the country, they're all living on welfare. I believe they are more than 20 millions people on the dole in Europe right now. Possibly more.

I tried, but it didn't work... But I've just launched it, and I'm pleased to see that OB is working today. But I haven't understood why it wasn't working yesterday. Hey, if I want to use OB for business, I need 100% reliability. I wonder how OB will compete against Ethereum.

I guess success will come from users, if there are enough people offering interesting products or services. Could it be possible to build a new Silk Road market out of OB?

How about universal death penalty to those who can't support themselves?
I suggest to open all borders, to delete all regulations against free movement of people anywhere on Earth, but with instant death, as the government will be fully entitled to shot dead anyone of working age unable to make a living? I could live in a world like this, but this is only a stupid idea, like the one of a universal basic income.

Yes, very old news, but maybe it's worth remembering. I don't know if someone makes an updated list of all web services which accept BTC, but Fiverr should be on the top of that list. I'm a regular Fiverr user, and I've been paying with BTC for what seems a long time.

Coffee shops? How about banks? I've been dreaming for years to buy BTC at a bank or a change store. Nearly every month, I buy or sell Swiss francs, Hungarian forints, British pounds or some other currency. It would just be immensely convenient if I could buy or sell BTC at those same places.

Damned thing! It seems I can't even close the software without being connected, which I'm unable to do. There's that full width nav bar on top of the window, but there's nothing on it. I'll have to close it via the Windows' task manager.

Is this still a beta release?
