1701  Economy / Economics / Re: Knowledge check: If a government had only 2 functions,what would they be? on: May 15, 2013, 03:25:50 PM
As for the 2 roles of government, one is the security of the land from outside forces, the other is the enforcer of law inside the country.

Pretty sure that's indeed the correct answer: (1) national defense and (2) rule of law.
Yeah, that's my vote too. Essentially:
1. Police/military (they're pretty much the same thing, especially if the military is used only defensively)
2. Courts

The thing is, monopoly power distorts even these two essential functions. In brief, when the government is the law, they are above the law. Market forces can take care of everything, and there is no need for a monopoly on those services.

I also think the first is courts. Basically only acting as neutral and deciding Party when there are disputes between citizens / companies in this country or other countries.

I'm not so sure about the military. Community Militias can form sufficient means for defense. Wealth People and companies could pay for the equipment while every citizens agrees to defend the country if attacked.

I would say the second is diplomacy. As long as there are other Governments. The free nation would need to be represented towards them through a single entity.

unhackable

That's basically an invite for everyone to go and try it.





Actually, the side looks nice and this may be a services that is needed not for us (still the vast majority) here, but for "Mainstream" users that are overchallenged with properly securing their coins them self.

That the community is by now very skeptic of such services is actually a very healthy thing.

As always, don't give any BTC to such services that you can't afford to loose.

If you are still around in ~1 Year and did not close, get hacked or run with the Deposits you have, then you will have the necessary legitimacy.

Strange, I tried it two additional times with different phrases (thought I maybe had encountered a bug as I used a ü the first time).

CPU usage goes to 100%, browser becomes unresponsive and it takes forever.

Well, as you are probably using Linux we just blame it on Microsoft  Cheesy

I use Windows 7. Smiley
What the browser was that?

Windows 7

Firefox 20.0.1

If u r willing to help, go to https://ripplepp.appspot.com, please.
U r supposed to click [Login] and enter a secret phrase.
After u press [OK] the browser will generate RSA keys and send a request to the server.
I need to know how much time it takes to generate the keys (approximately) and if "0 XXX" appears in "Balance".

Thank you in advance.

How long will this roughly take, I candled it after about five minutes, when I started it I thought you wanted me to stop the seconds it takes  Tongue

Yeah but at 10PM on friday night we get to all go watch Star Trek Into Darkness. Could we be any more nerd?!?!?

EDIT: I'm not kidding. :-)

Yes, this really jumped into my eye, too  Cheesy

I bet this will get a note in almost ever newspaper that reports about the conference.


... and after several hours of talking about how to bring down the Central Banks, the "evil geniuses" looked for guidance through Mister Spock  Tongue


Don't get the point with the comedian though. That's a common and good way to start a conference.

Is there any legitimate proof outside of bitcointalk.org about this announcement?

No, no there isn't. Several dozen people on BTCTalk and Reddit just decided to go post about the same email they got at the same time. It's a flashmob.

Yes, this is probably what's happening  Tongue

LOL, what do you mean by this?

What happens after 4 Confirmations?

Are you coins gone if you don't spend them within 4 confirms?

Bevor du hier rum trollst, solltest du evtl. mal den entsprechenden Thread lesen (und zwar von Beginn): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158935.0;topicseen

Dann wird dir vielleicht klar, was du hier für einen Schwachsinn verzapfst.


Und wenn du dabei bist, lern doch mal wie so eine Börse wie Bitfunder funktioniert.


Edit: Candoo, warst schneller.

Ja das ist wohl der Fluch wenn etwas langsam Mainstream wird, auch die Flut von Idioten, die sich nicht die geringste Zeit nehmen sich zu informieren aber trotzdem der Meinung sind sie hätten die Weisheit per Löffel gefressen und müssten das jedem Mitteilen wird immer größer.  Undecided
1710  Local / Trading und Spekulation / Re: Der Aktuelle Kursverlauf on: May 14, 2013, 09:56:31 AM
Sind ja alles sehr gute Zeichen. Wenn man einmal pro Tag mal Bitcoin News im Google checked, sieht man auch, dass wir nach dem spekulativen hype jetzt scheinbar in eine echte Wachstumsphase (neus BTC Business und so) kommen.

So gesehen hatte dieser Hype wirklich was positives.


Das mit den Transaktionen macht mir doch etwas Sorgen, wir rennen immer noch sehr schnell auf das maximal mögliche zu.

Andererseits, glaube ich langsam, dass dafür keine Lösung entwickelt wird, solange das kein kritisches Problem ist. Hat also vielleicht doch was gutes.
1711  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Got my own BFL 30GH/s ASIC today mining now on: May 13, 2013, 12:52:40 PM
Its just a way to get positive reactions, they gave one to wired aswell.
Thats the mind behind this.

No Problem with giving out Promo / Dev Units. But as long as basically nobody of the people that Paid for the whole thing revived theirs, it's not OK.

But well, anything it takes to attract more prepurchase money I guess.
1712  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Got my own BFL 30GH/s ASIC today mining now on: May 13, 2013, 12:30:18 PM
dev/promo copy, no order ID. Just was contacted by BFL representative. Will take some pics.

Nice how they keep giving away their customers Hardware for free.

Edit: come to think of it. As the whole thing was paid by prepurchase orders. Giving Hardware to someone that didn't order is basically stealing.

where is the watchlist link that would work perfectly good.  at the risk of sounding like a newb, I can't seem to find the link

Directly under "Show new replies to your posts."

Also: Make sure you have checked "automatically watch topics I have posted in" in you Profile settings.
1714  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: unwatched topics still showing up in subs on: May 12, 2013, 08:22:17 PM
the unread replies link

Use the Watchlist, just forget about "Show new replies to your posts.".

Watch and unwatch is only for the Watchlist.

as the name is supposed to restrict ASICs then I'll stick with it.

If that's your only Goal, how about ASICschürfungsverhinderungsmünze --> ASIC mining prevention coin.

Gerne verbessere ich die Deutsche Übersetzung falls es nicht ganz korrekt ist Smiley

Hm, ja. Das "verbringen" bei "Kaufen oder verbringen" macht irgendwie keinen Sinn. Ich kann nicht mal sagen was hier eigentlich gemeint ist, da ich hier € verbringen kann  Cheesy

Sonst interessant, werde euch mal ausprobieren. Wenn ihr wirklich eine Registrierung als Finanzdienstleister bekommt, wäre das natürlich super.


Edit: Habs, das müsste so was wie "Gesamtkosten in €" oder kurz "€ ausgeben" heißen.

Funny thing is:

However, if a country or a person uses a gold-based currency today, the exchange rate between that gold-based currency and the U.S. dollar then becomes very unstable.

Or:

Just read the whole article again, but replace the word Gold with Bitcoin and the word Bitcoin with Gold --> Nothing Changed. All Statements are equally true or false as before.

Naja, hat sich eher so verlaufen.

Wenn ein bisschen mehr Interesse besteht, überarbeite ich den Flyer gerne nochmal (ist ja nur ein draft).

Können ja ein bisschen Brainstormen und Vorschläge machen, was für Infos alles auf einen Flyer sollten.

Wenn genug Material da ist, bastle ich wieder an dem Flyer rum.
