That's not even slightly off. It's off by the same order of magnitude as saying "I wasn't sure how old the universe was so I just said 10 microseconds LOL." Humans don't understand large numbers.

EDIT: Typo.

Most members here are idiots posting nonsense because their signature ads are the most money they'll ever make from Bitcoin. Anyone earning significant amounts is likely to be reporting it, at least if they expect to ever spend their money. For example:
What can you buy for a million dollars without the government knowing about? A new house? Real estate deals are public record. An expensive sports car? Tax investigators look at car registrations. The government's going to find out about your wealth the moment you spend it on anything substantial, and they'll want to know where that money came from and whether you've paid your taxes on it. If you haven't, you're going to have a bad time.

Theism and religion are two different things; it's quite possible to have one or the other, or both, or neither:

	Religious	Irreligious
Theistic	Judaism Christianity Islam Theistic Hinduism* Shinto Sikhism Wicca Zoroastrianism	Deism
Atheistic	Buddhism Atheistic Hinduism* Jainism Satanism Taoism	Irreligious Atheism Agnosticism Humanism Antitheism

*Hinduism is, I think, unique among religions in that it doesn't require its followers to actually believe in its gods.

How do the various atheistic religions fit in with BADlogic's claim that atheism is a religion? Are they merely different sects of the same religion? In the same way Christianity and Sikhism are sects of the same religion, as they're both monotheistic?

¿?¿Por qué no los dos?¿?

I expect some of them understand English, which is the language in which I suggested that the topic be moved to the appropriate board.

It's not my thread; it's by a newbie who had a question that I couldn't quite understand because I don't speak Russian well and neither does Google Translate, but it seemed legitimate. I reported it to suggest that it be moved to the Новички board instead of Beginners & Help, and when I went back to check if it was moved it was gone! Why? Aside from being in the English section instead of the Russian section, what was wrong with it?

Why would you resort to such an ugly hack??? My way's better.

"You have reported 2514 posts with 100% accuracy"

I've still got it.

Because it's the truth.

The pressure is not from society, it is from nature. All living creatures must expend effort to survive. To seek food. To avoid danger. Nothing can live without continual effort, not even humans. This is the basic reality of existence. Do you deny reality?

I can spend that in 2 seconds. So what? Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. Nothing in society requires you to spend so much, and you have a decent income. If you're trying to live beyond your means and suffering as a result, it's your own fault.

Not all things are possible for all people. But I suspect that in your case, it is possible. If you didn't spend a week's pay in 2 days, you could save your money until you have enough to go to school without working at the same time. I've done it. Lots of people have done it. It's not in any way impossible. If you're unwilling or unable to accomplish that, don't blame society.

You've no right to feel otherwise. Comfort must be earned through effort like anything else.

No. You want such a job. You don't need anything, nor are you entitled to anything. Humans are just animals with the odd property of being (sometimes) intelligent, and have no fundamental right to exist other than what they can justify through their labour.

You are not made to work as a slave, and you insult all slaves past and present by comparing yourself to them. You get paid to work, and are free to quit and find another means of earning a living. The fact that a living must be earned instead of gotten freely does not make you a slave.

They would be living in a pre-industrial agrarian society with a life expectancy of 30. Specialisation of labour requires money. Why would anyone become a teacher or a doctor if they didn't get paid for it? Without money, everyone's a farmer without even machines to help them. If you think that's better than civilisation, then quit your job and start your own farm to feed yourself. Don't let "society" stop you.

Does that mean you have never experienced actual slavery as people are now experiencing it in South Asia? In that case, you should go there, if you think slaves there are living the good life. Otherwise, quit being a whiny crybaby.

No, you're on my list too, and I don't even ignore people based on their signatures. I'm egalitarian that way. The correlation between being on my ignore list and having a sig ad is just a coincidence, I'm sure.

What can be done about it? If a quack consistently fails to cure people, it's only a matter of time before those people (or their survivors) get angry and seek revenge. Not that I condone murder, but it's not entirely unexpected. To avoid being murdered, restrict your nonsense beliefs to a domain where people won't get sick or die from them.

It means what it sounds like. Of the 21 million bitcoins that will eventually be mined, nearly 16 million already have.

There is only so much of any currency in circulation. Dollars, gold, seashells, you name it, there's only a limited amount to go around. A currency can't function unless there's only a limited amount of it; if there's unlimited money for everyone, what incentive does anyone have to work or sell things?

Early adopters of a currency take the risk that it might never be widely accepted and the currency will become worthless. This risk must be taken into account when considering any advantage earlier adopters may have. It is not clear to me what you mean by "an alternate monopoly"; everyone who holds currency does so with the intention of eventually spending it, at which point the currency will flow into the hands of other people (specifically, people who provide goods or services worth paying the money for).

A long position means you make money when the price of bitcoin goes up, and lose money when the price goes down. 25x means you make or lose 25 times as much as you would if you had actually bought the bitcoins, eg, if the price goes up 1%, you will make a profit of 25%. Conversely, if the price goes down 4%, you lose everything you invested. Game over. Thanks for playing.

A short position means you make money when the price goes down, and lose money when the price goes up. Again, you lose everything if the price goes up 4%.

I strongly advise that you do not invest in a leveraged position if you do not understand the risks involved.

That's nothing. I currently ignore 4,018 accounts. They are not missed.

D'oh! Yes, you're right. I don't know how I got so confused about how base58 works. I blame insufficient caffeine.

Not necessarily. Since only the checksum was affected, it's likely the wallet decoded the public key hash correctly (in which case the transaction is valid and sent the coins to correct address despite the typo), but without checking the checksum at all. Other sorts of typos will not be so fortuitous, and are very likely to lose money. The wallet is not just broken, it's criminally incompetent and the developers should be beaten with rusty chains.

EDIT: Never mind, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Because with a proportional font, different characters have different widths (and not even consistently different, as you've seen). You need a monospaced font, which in BBCode is achieved with the [tt] tag.

"The most astonishing adventure in the universe begins when the world ends."

Your cult actually believes this? How awful.

Don't mistake the Satanic Temple for an actual religious organisation preaching any form of Satanism. They are a political protest group, nothing more. All they do is pull silly stunts like this one to raise awareness for the need for separation of church and state, using the name of Satan to scare people into giving them free publicity. This annoys actual Satanists to no end, but what can they do about it? It's not like there's a commandment against using Satan's name in vain. Satan's cool like that.
