You need to get out of Korea, man. I actually did eat dog once like 5 years back when some church group took me to a strange restaurant that smelled horrible. After taking one bite I almost vomited (the smell is like dirty wet dog). Tastes like chicken though. Going to the local bi-weekly street markets you can see hundreds of dogs locked up getting ready to be killed (or sold, if you feel like saving their lives). It's brutal to look at. I could only save 3 because my apartment is already too small for a jindo and husky. And now for the real answer to this thread: 감자탕

Newbies, First and foremost welcome to the forums (unless you're a spambot in which case IPSUM LORUM IST RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE), I had previously sold half of my Avalon Batch 3 ASIC here, but is my understanding that newbies (at least those in newbie jail) cannot participate in that auction. Due to a somewhat medical emergency for me here in Korea (no, I didn't get into a fight with Kim Jung un), there is a need to let go of up to 10% more of my ASIC. In fairness, I have already contacted both current shareholders and previous auction bidders, and their offers will take priority, but if there is someone here who thinks they missed out on participating in ASIC mining or wanted to give it a shot, the offer stands. I'm offering 10 units worth 1% of profit sharing each. You can purchase 1%~10%, it's up to you. I am offering the units for 2 BTC per 1% profit sharing. Feel free to ask your questions here or PM me although most questions have already been asked and answered in the above linked auction thread. Also, please understand that there never have and never will be any guarantees when it comes to ROI for mining. Bitcoin may crash and burn tomorrow and it might also go back to $250/BTC. Understand the risks before bothering, or else don't participate! This offer is for the next 24 hours only. Timer removed. End time: 2013-04-21+22:11:00

TL;DR: Those of you buying and participating in Ripple are getting scammed. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but you're certainly going to get scammed.
Statistically this applies to Bitcoiners too.

Lol wut? I'm not killing myself, the CIA is hiring drug cartels to assassinate me, my principles of love stand against their principles of greed. Sorta simple, our youthful generation is taking over one way or another and we don't want a world where you must pay to live. We don't need that when we can create with our mind. Believe you can, and you can do anything.
"I believe I can make you pay back your debts and stop being a drugged out sponge." Did I do it right?

WOW.
I've been idly following this whole BFL debacle for a few months, as I've got a few shares in a mining fund that's waiting on a pre-order.
The behaviour of BFL staff on this forum and others is absolutely disgraceful.
BFL, you folks have brought great, great shame to yourselves -- not through your hilariously inaccurate deadlines, but through your interactions with others on this forum.
Would you buy ANYTHING from a company whose representatives are calling others "pieces of shit" and "idiots" in public forums?
Absolutely disgraceful. Both of you should shut the fuck up until you start shipping. Until that happens, YOUR PRIORITY IS ON DELIVERING. Not mouthing off to strangers.
Your arrogance has made you the laughing stock of the entire Bitcoin community.
YOUR ARROGANCE IS WHY YOUR COMPANY WILL FAIL.
STFU bitch! Im bill gates from Microsoft buy Windows 8, Metro rocks you piece of shit, fuck apple. I loled.

Does anybody here know someone with video forensics skills?
I could dust it for fingerprints if you want.

(note: please do not put me on any lists! I would not know what to do.)
Modesty! We need that! Quick, put him on the list! Ruin his life!

Glad I didnt buy into the BFL BS
Even if they produce a great product I have a hard time supporting a company who's overall customer service is representative of how this douche bag talks.
Imagine if the product is unstable and dies 3 weeks out of the gate. Would you want to be dealing with BFL through warranty issues? I can see that phone call to the BFL support line going something like this: Customer: "Hello, I need to RMA my BFL ASIC unit. It stopped working yesterday and I can't get it to turn on." BFL: "Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar! Liar! *click*" Customer: "Hello?" This. Or "It will take 6 months to fix this or we can just give you an upgrade to a working unit now for double the price you paid before."

The developers are only interested in creating a useful international payment solution, without color or ideology. Specific ideologies make very little sense when you look at adoption from a global perspective. Why would people in Africa care, for example, who want to adopt something for their mobile payment solution? If anything it's just noise that may blind them to the advantages of the technology. If you're not careful, this stupid controversy will become the story instead of the actual technology and its implications. Headlines: "bitcoiners split between libertarian and 'mainstream' factions".
That may be best that way. Why not start a libertarian-bitcoin.org or so? With its own foundation and press contacts? I suppose it will be really big in the US. Aww hell yeah. Same god, different church denominations. Let's do this! I call dibs as pastor of the Church of Comedic Coin!

Pushing Jon Matonis aside will lead to half-measures and to the fail of Bitcoin in the nearest future. It seems to me bitcoin.org guys prefer to lick political asses than to fight for freedom.
I don't see bitcoin.org registered as a namecoin domain.

Will this firmware be included already in Batch 3?

If you want *everyone* in the world to love Bitcoin, you need a way to explain it that everyone can love. If that explanation can be given by everyone, then everyone can give the same explanation. It's as simple as that.
I wouldn't feel like I would be the right person to explain Linux for any group of Linux developers to the general public, because I would obviously miss some things (I don't use Linux regularly). I also don't feel that Linus Torvalds is the right person to explain Linux to the average person. Someone like James Rolph (Angry Video Game Nerd) is probably more suitable for that. Fuck it, I elect James Rolph as the publicity contact for Bitcoin.

IMO, beside the scammers, the incompetence of these kids is one of the biggest obstacles to solid Bitcoin services.
How about some industrial-strength Microsoft Web servers, ASP MVC, .NET and C++ programming of the adults?
Java FTW I've heard Java is great if you want to do Android apps and such, but not so much for web apps (desktop) because of the need to download and run Java, which is apparently dangerous now(?). Maybe HTML5 and OpenGL are gonna replace both Javascript and Java eventually.

What are you talking about? Javascript is fantastic in its ability to be everything (if you abuse it). Node.js is a good example. So is DOOM rendered in JS.
P.S. I think C/C++ stand alone apps are the only "secure" way to do anything these days, and think that Perl beats PHP anyday.
So do most of devs of the more slick and responsive sites I've seen. I honestly do not remember a more functional and responsive experience outside of C++ backend and CGI frontend. I've been trying to see what CIYAM can do for me. Though, CIYAM is like a boxed templating engine. No coding. So...fail when it comes to thinking out of the box. Well, CIYAM, from what I can understand, is actually a few things: On one hand, you have CIYAM Open, which is actually an app in itself built with the actual "CIYAM" software. (You create things from within, like you said, although not necessarily templating). CIYAM Open is intended to use task based work to supposedly provide higher quality results. I have never had luck on places like freelancer, elancer, etc, because the scammers assholes hard workers there are either over promising and under delivering, or just downright unskilled and misrepresenting themselves. So while you're prepaying them to do something they can't possibly do, they're only thinking about how to do as little work possible (and often purposely fail just so they can keep the "token payment", rinse, repeat). Opposed to that, CIYAM Open was supposed to solve that by forcing people to outline the task at hand, and then bid against each task by others in their field (not by price, but by time-to-complete), forcing the quality to go up, and not throwing all your eggs into one basket. I think it's both nifty and highly secure (as a web app). On the other hand, CIYAM itself is a highly secure stand alone engine that allows pretty much anything to be built through it securely and simply so that companies (and individuals) can basically design entire software infrastructure (thinks like Facebook, eBay, etc) by just piecing tools together and telling CIYAM what you want. I wouldn't think of it so much as a template as much as an API for creating secure apps. CIYAM is very complex, and CIYAM Open is only now getting simplified. Last I checked there was a full redesign in progress from BitInstant's designer. Can't wait to see it. I guess it will replace sites like Freelancer. To be honest, I started learning VC++ back when I was learning VB, and it was confusing as fuck for me (I started on BASIC, and everyone says, if you learn VB/BASIC, it fucks you up for real languages-- they're right! I had no idea why you needed to even declare memory space for variables etc! "Isn't that automatic? LAME"). That said, after looking at CIYAM Open and reading about it in Ian's threads, I totally fell in love with C++. I have *no* idea why anyone would make a financial service these days in anything other than C/C++ now.

I wish trips were like that
Trips to church are like that for some people. Do you think they're crazy? Do you think they don't actually hear god's voice? You believe you're Jesus but you don't believe people can hear God? What an asshole. It's more of feeling and finding meaning in metaphors
Sounds to me like your relationship with god is faked. Everyone knows god speaks in tongues to real believers. I think you're a phony, I can hear god every day talk to me. Just yesterday he said "Push that grandma down the stairs" so I did. I will have a special place in heaven because I listened to him. God's message was truth and love too because I believe it, and belief is positive so it's true. I know I won't get my girl back until my world is nothing but love I stop living like a worthless drug addict and pay my debts
FTFY. something that cannot happen without A) earth becoming heaven (fat chance while I'm alive) or B) my death.
Although some here might think B would cause A (because you wouldn't be around to scam and annoy anyone anymore), I think A already happens for many people, and the fact that you can't even get there without chickening out and killing yourself proves how fucked up you are. My life and my world is heaven to me. I am at peace. If you're not, killing yourself won't help that, that's a pussy's way out. That's what people do when they fuck up huge and can't fix it so they make up a reasoning that "when I'm gone, the world will be better because of it". Tell us dank, are you sorry that you're a scammer who uses everyone's money you borrow to buy LSD? Is that why you want to kill yourself? I'll tell you a secret. If you can pay back your debts and treat people with respect, you'll know the secret to life, happiness, love and peace, and it has nothing to do with death or consumables (drugs included).

If Roger Ver, Jon Matonis and Erik Voorhees are not listed as press contacts, that reflects very poorly on the judgment of those maintaing the list.
There would be no harm having several categories of press contact, e.g.: "For a technical perspective..." "For a legal perspective..." "For a societal perspective..." "For a business perspective..."
I was thinking the same thing: "The bitcoin project has widely ranging views and beliefs but they all converge on one single point-- the furthering of the Bitcoin proejct. If you'd like more information on bitcoin from a certain perspective, we recommend the following people based on their knowledge of specific aspects of it. - Libertarian contact
- Technical contact
- Economics contact
- Technology contact
- Community development contact
- Pattaya Cruise contact (No misleading statements, please)
etc.

Any way to measure the amount of XRPs in circulation?
Since all the "coins" were "premined" in the first place, you have to assume they're *all* in circulation when doing culculations.
|
|

I also think that the following people should also be added to the press page:
Erik Voorhees Yeah, let's add the person responsible for the most violent damage against Bitcoin done to date... MtGox? Butterfly Labs? Pirate? I'm lost.

I'm also owner of 100+BTC Ian Bakewell debt now so if I can be useful, let me know.
