That's actually right but it's much worse than that, current feminists are people I consider to be nothing more than gold diggers without the sex, they want men to cater to them in every part of their life and just reverse the typical role of men/women and establish a matriarchy instead of patriarchy, you can see it in the way they protest for things, particularly with how they say "We want equal rights for women" women? What about everybody else? Why just women? Any other protest group or pressure group falls into this trap as well, they'll fight for their corner, but not for anyone else, this is also another reason why our democracies are pretty screwy right now because none of theses groups will ever work together and just want dominance.
The old feminists were definitely feminists compared to the ones you see today, they genuinely fought for equal rights, current feminists fight for special treatment.
No they don't. True feminism is about equality. Why do you tar everyone who calls themselves a feminist with the same brush? Is an African female feminist who protests about female circumcision and genital mutilation the same as an angry western lesbian who just hates men? No. I usually find the people who complain about feminists are just closet misogynists. |

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but the question is relevant:
Let's say that I keep 2 btc in an online wallet at blockchain.info, and that I'm concerned that the site will get hacked and my wallet will be drained by the hacker (or that the site operator will run away with it).
Therefore, I wish to move the wallet to a a local paper wallet. If I follow the procedure outlined above, in addition to having the wallet locally stored, the wallet still exists at the blockchain.info site - therefore still suceptible to external elements.
How can I be sure that I am the only one who can possess the wallet content, and that the private key is not available to anybody else - not even to a crooked site operator?
You can make paper wallets directly in the blockchain site. |

Ok . I will start buying some bitcoins or other alt-coins but which is the safest and most profitable place where I could buy ? I saw that mxgot has disappeared. I will look into the trading part of the coins .
Depends on several factors and where you live etc. just use cryptsy or btc-e. you can use bittylicious if you're in the uk. |

This week, newspapers reported a complaint made to Harrow borough council's Trading Standards office by a man who had been refused service by an escort. I am angered but unsurprised by his complaint; it seems to come from a familiar perception that sex workers are mere automatons, not skilled professionals. Ha, not heard about that, but could there be anything more embarrassing for a man than to be turned down by a sex-worker? Of course, I respect sex-workers' rights to refuse service though, and it must be difficult for you to actually have to refuse people too. Sometimes I need to refuse someone because they just stink and have no sense of hygiene. Yeah, I know, but essentialy being told you stink to the point of repulsion no matter how politely you put it is a pretty heavy blow. "Rights" of criminals and illegal activities. Funny  Being a sexworker or a prostitute isn't illegal in a lot of places, and just like drugs, where it is, it shouldn't be. |

Although this isn't the best way, its fast and can make you a lot of money; betting on dice sites like primedice can get you some money and there is a free faucet.
This is probably the easiest way to lose money haha. Suppose you can't lose from the faucet though. |
|
|
|
I can highly recommend Stunna and the PrimeDice program
Needs 50 activity, be patient you will get there
Short cuts just tend to get you bad rep
There is no shortcut unless you can buy an account. You'll just need to make sure to post at least once every two week period to get the full 14 activity points. |

I dont agree. What it is good for to login and post immediatelly, other than spam ?
When I load up the site: I am not logged in. I am almost always not 'logged in'. I will read many discussions, while still not logged in. When I see something that I wish to reply to; I expect to be able to login, and post my reply immediately. It is unreasonably annoying, to get a "Wait 6 minutes" error message, when attempting to complete the post at that point. Usually what happens then, is I will abandon the reply, as it just isn't worth it. I might not immediately logout after posting, but I am not logging in every day that I visit the site. Why don't you just stay logged in or as soon as you view the site log in then so it'll be fine when you try post. Or if you just waited the full six minutes before attempting to post you'd be fine. |

I'm pretty sure if we ran a poll among the seniors that this would get passed instantly.
Yeah, there's a good chance it might, but seniors aren't the only people who use this forum. Seniors also have the option like anyone else to either block the subforum from view or just not go in there. |

Creating a extra sub-forum just for ponzi's could be a good idea I never thought of that.
Where do I sign? I wouldn't count it as 'gambling' more than trading with someone is gambling just cause there's a risk that you lose your money. And yeah there are waaay too many in the forum section, mainly cause I guess most of them don't last that long, and many are just scams. Most of them are, but at least if they were in their own separate section with a warning about the high likelihood of deals being a scam, if newbs did get scammed after investing it would be their own fault. I think if they were in their own section most people would just stay out of it and they'd die off eventually. |

All looking at Bitcointalk.org? We're not talking about the entire internet. We're talking about this site. As I said initially it's very unlikely.
Unlikely mabe, but from the roughly 10 times I logged in so far I got this time-out message 7x when I tried to post my first post of the day :-/ Edit: scratch, that, just got it again...so it's 8 out of 11 The person that posted last from your IP was you. You need to wait the full six minutes after logging in or attempting to post. |

Stunna someone is paying 0.0005 per post 2.5 btc maximum per month.
Interesting, but we all know what usually happens when a new casino pops up offering more than Stunna. What is happening to them?  I don't know ? anyway this 0.0005 BTC per post seems interesting ... we just need to wait to see is it legit... They get free advertising for a month, don't pay you for your signature, then dissapear. |

Wolf of Wall Street is 3 hours?  That sounds Casino level excessive Aren't most off Scorseses' films around this length? |

Can't say if I like new rules or don't as I am newbie here and actually it doesn't matter, the rules have been changed. Let's live move on and we'll see how it is going to work. Btw like the idea of breaking users up into a group and it's cool you can see his status (Newbie, Jr Member etc)
Please understand that the request to re-open some form of "newbie approbation period" is nothing against *individual* newbies, or even against newbies per se. Also, you're not going to be put back into newbie hell retroactively I'd say The point is that, as a result of lifting the newbie restrictions, the forum became flooded with low quality posts -- or at least that's what's a large number of posters seem to believe. So "let's live [and] move on" probably isn't going to cut it if btctalk wants to stay relevant in the future... To be honest its sort of like mainstream society slowly moving down the pendulum to lower intelligence 2010 - Satoshi and High Level Devs 2011 - Those who follow crytography and some users 2012- Rush of users steady inflow of business and financial individuals 2013 - Early 2013 Waves of adopters continuing from 2012 followed by later waves of adopters as the media starts pouncing on bitcoin guess around November see the posts starting to drop in average quality 2014 - Early adopters and since the removal of newbie hell a lot more uninformed users who just throw gun-ho questions around The future is bleak indeed (As price rises for the rest of us and more people use it we will see the average users knowledge of technical aspects and quality posts dropping  Tragedy of the Commons) This is to be expected; it's just natural growth, but with a little snobbery thrown in. You can apply computers and the Internet and pretty much anything new to this as well. It's also like when one of your favourite obscure bands becomes big. On the forums you'll have the supposedly enlightened few 'early adopters' talking about how cool and superior they are whilst complaining that the band doesn't get the recognition they deserve and moaning that they're not more popular, then suddenly the band releases a hit single/album and become mainstrean and in come the influx of newbs and people start to dislike them for several reasons and then complain it was better before. Some valid, some not, but when anything becomes more popular it's going to draw in a lot of idiots, but you can't have it both ways. |

I haven't gotten to put an avatar on my profile and frankly it's pretty disturbing that it's taking theymos this long to sort out the forum.
I don't think they will be fixed until the new forum, so you might be waiting a while. |

Despite the negative press than bitcoin may receive because of the Gox fiasco, I personally feel the negative impact will be very short lived. A few months from now I think it will all be a distant memory and bitcoin will move forward with a vengeance.
I could see that happening. Time moves fast in Bitcoinland. I'm sure we'll have some new problems in a few months' time to worry about anyway haha. |

I haven't lost trust or faith in Bitcoins. Gox is just one exchange, and a shoddy one at that. It's not the entire Bitcoin universe. The quicker it goes the quicker Bitcoin can move on.

Its tricky because I cant easily get to one of the paypoints within one hour of ordering the BTC. There are places near me but you need the correct change down to the penny (so it says on bittylicious) and my life does not really let me run to the nearest paypoint during the day. Bank would be easiest really.
Dont know much about escrow - can you tell me more about how I buy this way?
Put a request in for how many coins you want to buy over in the narketplace and what payment methods you can use. Once you've found someone who will sell you the coins, the seller will send them to a trusted escrower, you then send the money to the seller and the escrower releases the coins to you. List of trusted escrows here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0 |

Host: So what do you think was going on over there?
Voorhees: Gross incompetence over a number of years that never got remedied
Sounds about right.

Now the question in the back of many folk's mind is, "I wonder if anyone is going to jail because of this?"
I dunno why, but I just can't see Mark doing anything illegal. I think he's just really incompetent and not a very good businessman. |

Welp, it looks like Gox might finally be biting the dust. BTC is spiraling downward, and soon, we'll all be "early adopters" again.
So you're all in the club now....congrats, I guess.
What do you mean? About the price? I think he means the price might go so low everybody can buy in a load at such a low price. |
