Black people are black because they evolved under a hotter sun (closer to the equator) in Africa than we did.  Notice how the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet, which would get less direct sunlight, are less black?  Darker skin is less likely to burn and kill you.

If you want to insult a black person, state a fact.  "Hey, your ancestors didn't know when to come in from the sun!"

Any other insult is nonsense, for they are different from white people in no other way.

Ok, I wasn't aware of this.

One should NEVER download any application from a non-trusted source.  I guess since I'm in IT, this is common sense to me.   Smiley

I guess since you're in IT you're an arrogant prick who has difficulty relating to other people. Smiley

Good guess, but wrong.  Smiley

I actually have the rare ability to interface with the non-technical user using terminology they understand.  It's the main reason I stayed in my own business instead of accepting the wads of cash companies offer to throw at me.  Smiley
16783  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Idea for a coin on: April 26, 2014, 03:42:12 AM
I have an idea for a crypto but no idea how to make one.

I think personally it is a neat idea and I'd like to toss the idea to a few devs on the condition they allowed me to stay on the team for marketing and PR (coin is focused around a "neat idea")

The wallet would need some "simple" custom code other than the basic QT.

If interested post here publicly first please. I'll either PM you or you could PM me.

Edit- Serious inquiries only.

You will probably get PMs from a number of users who claim to be able to make a coin.

Do your research.  Examine what coins they have made (have them prove they made it) and how successful they have been.

You can make a clone coin for as little as 0.05btc....  
http://www.coingen.io/status.html

If you want, you can PM me the special idea you have that will make your coin special, and I'll give you my honest (albeit brief) opinion on it.  I won't steal your idea or pass it on.

In an absolute literal sense, this is why racism is so ignorant.

We are all the exact same.

What exchange allows this?
If any such exchanges do this, whats the best rate?
I need some BTC as im wanting to invest in other altcoins.

I would never sell BTC to someone using a credit card, unless I knew them personally.

They can always claim the card was stolen and recover the funds.  You can't recover the bitcoins.

Are you looking to scam someone?

The community deserves to know about html malleability risks that could steal their coins.

Over a 100 BTC plus countless altcoins have been stolen.

In 1 transaction, 60 BTC stolen today here. The attack bypasses 2FA. You won't know your coins are gone until AFTER you hit withdrawal and you verify on the blockchain. Such a terrible feeling.

You'd probably be a lot better off if you hadn't posted the "nigger" thread. Racist or not racist you just can't say some things in public without pissing a bunch of people off. You can pick on old people all day long and no one will care. You can post degrading porn shots of women all day long and get away with it but "nigger" is a hot button word. Black people don't want white people saying it because it's reserved for only their use. White people don't want non black people saying it because they want to support what's politically correct and are embarrassed by the history. You just can't win using that word so shut up nigger. lol

"Nigger" is just a word.  It's up to each person how they feel about it.  In the context PG used, society as a whole certainly has a problem with it.

You can't offend me with any word you might say, because I choose not to be offended.  Too bad society can't evolve and take the same stance.

Vod really did you just affirm this guy?

No, in no way did I affirm anything PG posted.  As I mentioned, in the context he used, he comes off as a racist and will have to face the wrath of society.  IMO racists are ignorant scum.

My post was more of a wish that society could get rid of such trigger words.

I mean a real job, legall or illegal.

Sign up with localbitcoins and offer to sell bitcoins cheap!  Arrange to meet in a quiet dark location.

When the unsuspecting user shows up with cash, pull out your knife and rob them.

Rinse and repeat.

Can anyone recommend a good(the best) miner hardware in the markets right now? The best bang for your bucks of course. Is it even worth mining anymore? Estimated ROI?

The best way to make money on bitcoins is to buy as much coin as you can afford right now.

Most people believe the price of bitcoin will go up.

You then sell the coins for a lot more profit than you will make mining.

Gee, I don't know.  There is a long illustrious history of prison guards being bribed, cajoled, or blackmailed into working for the team.  Now I can't help but think little Ms. Lightspeed could be influenced to look the other way sometimes....

I'm on the other side of the fence.  I believe the fact we haven't been contacted by an alien race is proof that faster than light travel (for mass) is impossible.

Posted this on reddit, and people said I wasn't spamming or anything, account in reference is precrime3. I did not break any rules, at least not knowingly and intentionally. If someone could help me out, that be greatly appreciated! Thanks:)

How do you know your account is banned?  Could it simply be hacked?  In such a case, you can send a signed message to Theymos to recover it.

have Google, Firefox etc VERIFY identity of the corporation and or individual who submits the extension. that way the can be traced back and held legally liable for their behavior, or at least have a starting point for an investigation.

How is this a bitcoin topic?  Move it to "Off Topic" please - control to the left under the post.

Obvious scam is obvious scam.

A newbie offering a risk free investment?   Roll Eyes

Too lazy to even build a website.
16795  Other / Meta / Re: Taking over a thread on: April 26, 2014, 01:33:06 AM
Does anyone know how to take over someone elses thread?  The DIEM dev has been MIA for a few days now and we really need to update the OP due to an influx of interest.  Who would I talk to?

Theymos is the only one that can do it.  Requires a database edit.

(Move this to Meta so he will see it)
16796  Other / Meta / Re: Account reanimation in vain - no answer from theymos! on: April 26, 2014, 01:06:42 AM
As a precautionary measure, you might want to post a GPG / BTC address signed message somewhere in an auction thread. That'll do the trick and lock out any hijacker of your account. Wink

Wait are posts made in the Auctions sub uneditable/undeletable by the user who made it? Because that's what I'm inferring you're talking about from your suggestion.

Yes, you cannot edit posts in the Auctions area.  Threw me for a loop first time I posted there.
16797  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it possible to create a real live Jurassic Park? on: April 25, 2014, 11:29:08 PM
Even if we can bring back dinosaurs using their dna, they may not be able to live in our atmosphere. The air in the jurassic period has much higher levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide. If they could survive the atmosphere, they would be constantly out of breath and will not grow to their original sizes.

We will create a closed areas with those dioxides level that they will need. This is no problem. If we will manage to create a dinosaurs I am pretty sure creating an enviorement for them will be not a prob.

And that gives us added security - if they escape their enclosure, they'll probably die.

Until they evolve....
16798  Economy / Lending / Re: LendingTree Loans - .01 - 3 btc available on: April 25, 2014, 10:54:26 PM
I think its good to have members of the communities place checks on scammers. All he is doing is telling scammy newbies without collateral and a pocket full of sad stories to fuck off. Nothing wrong with that.... If I don't see vod doing it first, I would just as well step in and question just purely instinctively. So will any sensible member who comes into a lending thread. There are no mods here.... and the less scams there is, the better the environment to do good business.

Awesome attitude.  When I first started, there was only Tomatocage and I calling out the scammers, and there were a LOT of them.  Now, I'm happy to say, there are a lot less scammers and a lot more people calling them out.  Smiley

We have no idea what could be discovered there. They might have elements that we don't have.

False.  Mars is made of the same "stuff" Earth is made up of.   The planets formed the same way, from the same materials.
