That is how it worked in the past. But if a big media 'event' is sudden it can hit before corresponding price increase imo.

Also if the news is about the price increase it has to come after the increase and that's what a lot of the news was last time we had a ton of news.

How exactly would that discredit bitcoin?

That's like say a hammer is discredited because it cracked through a skull with ease. No, that's a really good hammer because all a hammer is supposed to do it be good at hitting things hard.

That'd be entertaining.

Yeah, I wish they had demanded dollars, then everyone would be like "oh, I'm so butthurt that he demanded dollars because now everyone is going to hate dollars oh oh oh no".

What does the owner need in order to change the lock? Why would he be able to keep this safe but not the private key of the address?

You mean they'll accept bitcoin for a while and then decide it's too risky because of vague conflict of interest issues and dump them?

"The Drifter" is at 2am ET tonight. It's had money added every time so far. 4BTC guaranteed.

We hit 140 logins tonight and in addition to 90 players still in the freeroll there are 7 ring games currently running from stakes of .001/.002BTC up to .6/1.2BTC blinds.

Correct.

Though micon said he wanted him on the show which is practically the same thing right?

The Donkdown.com 5BTC freeroll is tonight (Wed) 10:30pm ET.

No password for max convenience.

Don't quote me on this but Gavin will be on the show to reveal the big September Surprise.

That's smart. We've been waiting a long time for Nefario to allow the same coin to sit as bids on multiple assets.

Agree.

If they are going to stay, do not police them. You will make mistakes and nothing could be better for a ponzi operator than to get whatever stamp of approval the forum starts handing out.

But I think they should go.

If you want to let people talk about whatever it can be in off-topic it doesn't need a serious sounding name like "Securities".

There is a buttload of data concerning satoshi dice.

There is a freeroll (absolutely zero cost to enter) every hour at SealsWithClubs.eu that has a 0.05BTC prize.

Wednesday at 10:30pm ET is a 5BTC freeroll. It usually pays out 17 prizes.

Maybe you can bloat your offering and draw interest/get people used to the site by finding a nice selection of freely available books and organizing it well, summaries, tags etc.

I go to the grocery store and no one knows I'm actually a..

RADICAL

OUTSIDER

STATISTICIAN (STATUSITE?)

It's a collectible card game. That's all I know, mark it down as data.

Interesting, I had assumed it did exist, but didn't figure it was ever much.

Funny to remember how bitcoin was such a small thing that someone would use a left over domain for an exchange.

If you didn't know, Mark had nothing to do with the original MtGox (Magic the Gathering Exchange) he bought it from Jed after it had already been converted to the largest bitcoin exchange.

 

You know how the media gets all hot and bothered about voter turnout? It's because it legitimizes the system all their friends control. If some tiny minority went and picked themselves a leader it would be clear that he's just their leader, getting everyone involved keeps up the illusion that we all consent to the system. I don't.

I'm not saying that voting actually makes you responsible for following their terrible laws. If you think it can protect you, go for it. Maybe this time you'll actually tip the scales in the "should we rape the ladies in the lifeboat" political hypothetical. After you lose the rape vote again you can still try to drown the bastards.
