the blocks that the transactions are in are timestamped

Grue, philosophy can be a complex stuff. Proving a math theorem may take tens of pages. Even greater effort needs to be put in the realm of philosophy.
Then you must have read the thousands of papers opposing moral objectivism. Surely I don't need to copy+paste those arguments in this thread?

Well, I probably don't want to read all of that, it's quite tiresome to read/closely listen to 100+ pages of philosophical discussion in not your mothertongue.

Don't read! Download the audiobook and listen when you have time. Listening is better if you are not a native speaker of English.
>trying to convince someone

yeah that's not going to work well, especially on a forum.

Morality is objective (like math, physics, etc.). Term morality have unfortunately been acquired by weirdos, preachers and idiots.

It cannot differ from one person to person (killing, stealing raping were morally wrong for your and my grandparents 1000 years ago and are morally wrong now for you and me). Ethics (from which the statist and religious laws and regulations are derived) changes over time (raping was ethical and legal a few thousand years ago).
Quote from: wikipedia
Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct.[1] The term comes from the Greek word ethos, which means "character".
therefore Morality == Ethics.
1549  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Discussion about ethics and morality, split from "Should miners collude to steal funds from wall on: October 10, 2013, 09:35:42 PM
These rapes were immoral. These rapes were unlawful.

But these rapes were ethical and were legal.

----------------------------

This is the difference between morality and ethics. This is the difference between law and legality.
Your idea of morality being universal is rather flimsy when you label every counterexample as "immoral behavior". Also, laws don't exist or apply when vikings were raiding Britain/Ireland. "raiding" includes stealing, destruction, and raping women.

Morality is also universal (independent of time and space and independent of person using this particular concept). Examples:
If someone says ''it is wrong to initiate violence, e.g. to rape), then this statement is true:
- independent of time; this statement was true 1000 years ago, is true now and will be true in a million years from now
- independent of space; this statement is true in North America, in Portugal and even on Mars
- independent of person; this statement is true when you say it, when I say it and even when the pope says it
Actually it was pretty common for women to be raped when any settlement was raided. Even in WW2 Japanese soldiers did that. Therefore your claim of "independent of time" is false. Your claim of "independent of space" is laughable unless you apply it to a modern human teleported to those location. As for "independent of person", I would argue that the only reason the statement is true is because everyone is raised in a environment that heavily believe in the said moral values. Therefore that statement is pointless.

+1

this is my angle its not just about the ROI , im part of this movement that the whole world is starting to really talk about . i believe the price of bitcoins will rise to a crazy level and i will get my return as i keep mining away generating  bits of a bitcoin.

if America defaults on the 17th watch the price of bit coin go up 1000%
or you can buy the equivalent bitcoin now for a lower price. no hardware cost, no need to maintain machines.
1552  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: how do i link to a transaction on: October 09, 2013, 09:35:52 PM
find the txid and paste into your favorite bitcoin transaction site. there is no built in mechanism for providing links to a blockchain information website.
1553  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Can someone explain this because what is this on: October 07, 2013, 10:00:08 PM
on a serious note, blockchain.info should really remove the "relayed by ip" info from their site. its accuracy is utterly crap and only serves to confuse new users.

Is anyone curious as to why the SR logo is in the background of the seizure notice?? In past FBI seizure's the logo has never appeared.

also, past seizure images did not have drop shadows on the logos.

[...]

About half of all threadcrap I've received, IIRC, has also advertised competing offerings.
competing offers count as off topic. so what's the other half of the "threadcrap" that you received? legitimate criticisms of your product/service?
1556  Other / Meta / Re: Institute threadcrap fine/sticky for Marketplace & child boards on: October 01, 2013, 01:22:12 AM
I'm confused, you say it was clearly off topic and report-worthy, but that threadcrap is "allowed" in the marketplace (impying threadcrap is not report-worthy). What is the difference between "threadcrap" and "off topic" in your mind? I already gave my definition of threadcrap, and my definition of off-topic would be someone talking about elephant mating rituals in a topic about hash rates of BFL ASICs.
Depends on what your definition of threadcrap is. I have met sellers who consider any post that are negative towards their thread to be threadcrap.

By the way, who's paying for the 3G service for every one of these processors?  Intel, Verizon, or the NSA?

intel probably has an agreement with 3g providers, similar to how amazon has an agreement to provide 3g to its kindle devices.

Its nothing as I see avalon testing some terahashes in eligius in months and keep customers to wait and waste of ROI.
just because avalon did it doesn't make it okay for KnC to do it.

why can't we get a bitcoin user in tokyo to do this? surely it's cheaper than round trip plane ticket to japan.
