I'm pretty confident that all the people spewing unpleasantness are themselves self-hating black jewish one legged refugee lesbians. It's the internet way.

Embrace yourselves. Don't be ashamed.

Riiight.

I'd bet my life that every single hitman on the dark net is an 11 year old scammer.

Do you accept 5-6 BTC to murder a stranger and potentially spend the rest of your days behind bars. Or do you accept 5-6 BTC, or perhaps half upfront, and, like, not do it?

Golly, that's a poser.

They can't freeze you. They don't seem to have a shortage of irritating glitches, though. I started off using them but ran away screaming eventually. They themselves may always be secure but the problem will always be security at the user end. I couldn't guarantee that I'd stay secure so shopped elsewhere.

Um, declaring yourself all in with Bitcoin might gain you a few hundred votes and alienate all the millions who still think it's a ponzi. The libertarian fella is accepting it. Expect nothing but silence from the big dogs.

By their very nature, they have to start off appearing to be profitable to draw suckers in. Like any Ponzi if you get in early and get out you may well end up making some profit. I can think of other things I'd rather be risking my money on.

Do you want the Bitcoin to spend elsewhere pretty rapidly or are you looking for some long term storage? That's going to influence your choices.

Personally I use Mycelium for smaller amounts for spending. Paper wallets do the job for the rest.

I think poor old Ross's conviction was so politically charged there'd have to be some type of miracle to gain a neutral reassessment. Perhaps it'll come a few years down the line. Right now daddy government is still feeling vengeful.


This didn't come up in his trial at all and he wasn't convicted of anything related to it. They had all the ammo they wanted just on the drugs bit. The hit bit is rather confusing overall but I wasn't there so won't declare anything.

What use would a murderer have for a mixing service? And drug cartels traditionally have a slightly higher turnover than the average mixing service can handle.

It's sensible to cut the link between your coins and their past.

That's not going to reflect too well on Apple if they were all over Piratebay. I assume the scummier and scammier the advertiser, the higher they'll pay. You could either pay for a nice click on your website or pay for the possibility of breaking into someone's computer and draining them of their worldly wealth.

That's a very interesting map. Do you know if those are final locations of migrant applications? If I was a young lad from a war zone and especially if I was non white, Serbia would not be very far up my list of dream destinations.

Nothing will stop the seedy anti semitism on here. It seems to be as natural as breathing to a surprising number of people. Considering how long it's been around it's clearly an innate feeling in a lot of humanity.

My cutoff date is 2020. If it's looking broadly similar to where it is now in terms of actual user activity then I'll probably reconsider my position. The way it's set up is rather shark like. It needs to keep on moving and growing if it's to survive.

If it was centralised it wouldn't be Bitcoin any more. And any country adopting it as their national currency would throw away everything including the hard limit to the extent that there'd be nothing recognisable about it any more.

There's no point comparing platforms that people can skip between for nothing when one becomes more fashionable. They have nothing invested other than their filthy content which again can be swapped across.

When your money's on the line your current setup becomes rather more compelling.

Twenty years? I'll be rather unimpressed if it's lurking around that level by then especially when you throw in inflation too. As Satoshi himself said it's either likely to be considerably larger or completely dead and abandoned by then. The former works better for me at least.

I've got no respect for anyone who's influenced by things they read in a trollbox for instance.

Someone who makes a trade based on someone else writing 'rapecoin 2 da moon lulz loool any second' shouldn't be allowed to dress themselves let alone trade.

I don't give a shit what others put into their bodies as long they're not harming people. The most dangerous thing about drug use is how staggeringly boring they make you. I've no interest in being around druggists any more.

Well, many countries manage to permit their citizens to live reasonable lives without a big daddy to look after them. Time will tell whether life becomes a heap of shit without the EU nagging away in the background. Swings and roundabouts.

I was expecting more oldies. They've got more money and have lived through the adoption of some previously far out technologies. You would've thought they might recognise the signs more easily.

Is that support email verbatim? The English is questionable in a few places. This smells of a phishing site or a man in the middle type of attack. And what's their definition of an account hack?
