Do you honestly believe that, in today's world, those things couldn't be built/services be offered without government involvement?

I believe it is possible for those things to be built/offered without government involvement.

It's just that historical evidence shows that doesn't work worth a damn for many things.

It's not impossible, but it's unlikely to ever succeed or become fully efficient.

Thanks!   In all my ~385 posts you only the second person to mention it. Tongue  The first guy pm'ed me asking what would happen if he didn't pay the fine, I replied with this:
I send a virus to your computer which slowly begins to hypnotizes you while your reading this PM with subtle flickers in the background.  You will slowly lose random memories and eventual forget everything.  You will be unable to use your long term memory except you won't forget the 0.01btc you own me. 

You will suffer until you pay the fine.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
P.S. he paid the fine Cheesy and became the first person to ever tip me on the forum.

Tipped or scammed/blackmailed?  Grin.

Hi,

Simple rules: Bitcoins on the auction will be given to highest approved bidder. The amount of bitcoins is calculated like this: Bitcoins on the auction - highest bid. Example: 1BTC on the auction, your bid 0.2BTC and it is the highest, then 1BTC - 0,2BTC = 0,8BTC are transfefred to your bitcoin aaddress then auction ends.

Only probably?  Grin

Oh well, I'm talking about getting rid of all taxes Tongue

What system do you propose for paying for schools, roads, hospitals, emergency services etc?

People can pay the service provider/producer. Same way you pay for food, clothing, housing, etc. It's called trade.

And what happens if you can't afford any of these things? You grow up without an education, are homeless and starving and left without any prospects or future, and eventually you'll die when you have a minor injury that's left untreated.

How do you pay the police? They come investigate a crime then bill you for it?

If you're going to use it for anything adult-related, you should check out Sexcoin. It's marketed directly as a coin for the adult industry.

Why would they need to use it? A name doesn't matter. What does Sexcoin offer that BTC doesn't?

It says I have "tried to post within the last 360 seconds... so wait"

When I wait and try to resubmit it says - "This post already has been posted............"

It takes 15 minutes to get a post through!!!

This is quite a pain and is preventing me from participating here fruitfully.

Any help would be appreciated!

You need to make sure you wait the full six minutes before you post. Log-ins and attempted posts count.

I think the 6 minute wait is lifted after some level of activity.

The wait diminishes with more activity you get. Mine is about 25 seconds now.

And now you've gone for the scare tactics by saying people will die in the streets despite me offering plenty of alternatives that will help people, also, if you honestly don't know what I mean by mathematics and common sense will always win you really are a lost cause.

Yes you are, when you don't pay taxes you go to jail, that's a complete lie:

http://cpj.org/2013/10/vietnamese-blogger-jailed-on-tax-evasion-charges.php

What you call 'Not paying taxes' governments all call 'tax evasion' and you get arrested and put in jail for it no matter how badly you want to spin this, you're the one who is frankly naive. Also, I actually said corporate sponsorship, I didn't say corporations should run everything, that said, if they do it on a voluntary basis and run it efficiently I have no problem with that unlike you.

No, I don't know what you mean. People don't have common sense, do they? I don't think you do either if you think we can live in this tax-free utopia where charities and corporations dish out services for free and out of the goodness of their hearts and everything is better because there's no evil governments. You used scare tactics by complaining that the government has failed because you have to wait a few hours in A+E to get seen and some roads are a bit shoddy. Things would be much much worse than pot holes in the roads if we turned this over to somebody else. My solution is to put more money into this; yours is to  stop paying for it and seemingly hand it over to somebody else and hope they sort the mess out whilst they continue giving it to us for free.

And I know people go to jail for not paying taxes, but you're being silly now and completely missing my points. You're also completely mistaken about what I said. I'm not paying any taxes and I'm not in jail. Some of my friends work and they don't pay any taxes and they're not in jail. And if you don't want to pay taxes; you can. Nobody is forcing you to pay income tax at all. You could also illegally avoid them if you want; just don't get caught. And if you don't want to pay any income taxes and are so against them, just move to a different country that offers this option. Tell me, which ones are those again?

Why would they do it on a voluntary basis? And I wouldn't  have a problem with that option; of course it'd be great it happened, but that's not gonna happen, is it? And what's wrong with the government running it as long as they run it 'efficiently'? So you're ok letting it into the outside hands of a corporation, but governments are a big no-no because they don't run it efficiently? Well neither will corporations and then it's out of our control because they can do almost what they like.

And you still avoided most of my other points. Tell me, what system would you put in place then if you were in charge?
17192  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How cryptocurrency is applicable to adult webcam? on: January 10, 2014, 01:19:49 PM
You only need to wait for one transaction really and it's as good as received anyway.
How much time?
What is fastest mode, and best coin for that?
Any model will have no charge backs and "free (unpaid) shows".

wait 12-48 hours for their transaction to confirm
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=339802.msg3645319#msg3645319

You only really need one confirmation and the payment is almost instant. Maybe you could get around any potential problems by sending the BTC to your cam account then the cam website deposits payments automatically in the models account. Problem solved.

Hi!
Fresh user here, I have mined some alt-coins and turned them into btc.
I am now looking for a place to cash in some of it since I'd like to pay off some of the hardware.

Is there anywhere I can sell them and cash out to an online wallet like paypal. I know paypal is a big nono with their tos. There has to be alternatives though, right?

You can find some (semi) trusted people on here who will buy with PP, but even then it's risky as you can still be scammed. How much BTC have you got and how much do you want for it?
17194  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: VOTE - POLL How may of us are here for a cryptocoin other than Bitcoin? on: January 10, 2014, 01:14:37 PM
Six votes and no one wants to say what coin they are here for? Come on someone must be here for Doge.

Well the polling options aren’t perfect. I came here for Bitcoin, but quickly gained interest in others (LTC, FTC mainly).

A lot of the newbs tend to come here by whatever new alt coin is hyped up that they've heard about (Doge, Kanye etc).

Help me change the poll. What option would you add without adding every altcoin in existence (the poll would be too long and always incomplete).

I dunno; it's a hard poll to create. Maybe a 'any/all cryptocurrencies' option. A lot of people just jump on pump and dumps until they're unprofitable to mine, so maybe 'pump and dump shitcoin' option  Grin.

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I'll leave out, "what's you're favorite pump n dump shitcoin". lol

Sad What about 'pump and dump crapcoin'?
17195  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do people think income tax is ok? on: January 10, 2014, 01:05:26 PM
Love how you use 'force' in quotations, what you don't consider taxation force? Smiley What makes you think government is so much more reliable? Oh wait! They've fucked everything up through massive overspending and poor organisation, don't get me started about how some of our roads here in the UK are still being 'worked on' despite the work being going on for several years and then there's the fact you have these huge hospitals which keep people waiting for hours while not even bothering to do basic triage to find out which patients need seeing to first because there aren't enough staff to care for them.

I also love the way you tried to insinuate I wanted corporations to rule over everything, did I say that? No, but your attitude definitely is that of a corporation because you're saying essentially if I sit on somebody's land or drink somebody else's water from a lake therefore I must pay for it OR ELSE.

Keep on preaching, basic mathematics and common sense will always win out in the end.

You're being incredibly naive if you think that just because this government is a bunch of corrupt fucks and failing on many levels that one cannot be implemented that doesn't serve its people better. All we need to do is put a system or government in place that will serve its people and not those of private interests. And yes, in some areas roads might be bad and hospital services lacking, but stop spending money on wars and bailing out bankers and put this money into things that need it. What happens when these charities you want start fucking stuff up and become corrupt or build shoddy roads or schools? Who will hold them accountable? What do you suggest as an alternative to the healthcare system? Sell it off to corporations so only people who can afford health care get it? Let's see how many charity hospitals there is if we go with your system. There'll be people dying in the streets, not in hospital corridors (and it's not that bad yet is it? Yeah, you might have to wait a few hours to get that cut stitched up, but if its an emergency you'll get treated). Let's put our taxes to good use and put more money into these services and they will improve.

And it's not exactly force, is it? You're not forced to do anything or pay any taxes if you don't want, yet you can still use all the services it provides all paid for by the taxpayer. Don't work and don't pay taxes if you don't want, or if you're smart enough you can work and get away with it. Maybe be a conscientious tax objector or avoider.

And I didn't insinuate you 'wanted corporations to rule over everything', did I say that?. But you suggested this as an option, which would be much much worse. You don't trust the governments, but you'd trust a corporation who's only goal is to shit on people and turn profit?

And can you explain and elaborate more on what you mean by common sense and basic mathematics will always win?

perfect I love this and can see the fee. This is great, thank you!

you will need to use escrow for trades !!!

I just did my first trade with a member here for $20 money pack still don't have the money I send the money pack I didn't know about escrow he says the transaction is to small that is why it's not showing up yet and that resent it again, I said if I get both 2 times I'll return one, but havn't gotten it yet I hope I will get it later today since I want to buy domain and hosting with bitcoin so I need some. Hopefully I get them, lets see but at least I learned that you are right I need escrow.

Who did you send to? Sounds like he's BSing you to be honest.

17200  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do people think income tax is ok? on: January 10, 2014, 12:23:50 PM
Oh well, I'm talking about getting rid of all taxes Tongue

What system do you propose for paying for schools, roads, hospitals, emergency services etc?

Either local government where people voluntarily give their money ( Like state government or Local Council depending on which country you're in ) the trick is not forcing it on anyone and then also people can just get together and hire a crew to build it or you could do corporate sponsorship, since advertising is already used a lot on roads why not use that revenue to support the building of them? There are of course more direct methods like toll roads and frankly if you're going to bitch about that sort of thing then you're a cheap skate because I'd rather pay for it on a voluntary basis than be forced to pay for it or go to jail.

The trick is not forcing anyone to pay for it, you do that and you'll have a lot less resentment about building infrastructure and free healthcare, you might even have people going out of their way to support it like with a charity, oh yeah as long as it's run properly I have nothing against charities either, just so many of them are corrupt now and take a large cut of what's donated to them. It's only natural that when you threaten people with violence if they resist that people start hating the idea of giving money to the people threatening them.

Take Sean's Outpost as a living example of what can be done in a voluntary society as well people are quite happy to give that charity Bitcoin and yet according to your logic, if there were no taxes nobody would build any roads, yet why is somebody who isn't automatically being paid for it just taking Bitcoins and going around helping out homeless people?

Oh and do I have to point out the internet as a world wide source of learning? These days even with a pretty cheap internet connection that doesn't work very well you can do a damn lot of searching if you want to try learning something.

If you don't 'force' people to pay for services then most people probably wont as there's plenty of cheapskates. Everybody should chip in for services everybody uses. There is not enough willing people to make mass charities work, and we couldn't rely on them to be rolled out for everyday services. I'd rather put my faith in fair taxes as opposed to this system. Are you really suggesting you'd want corporations to be in charge as opposed to Governments? At least the money from goverment owned companies goes back to the people (or should do in theory).

And would you trust a brain surgeon who got his education or qualifications from an internet based establishment? Whilst I agree you don't need school or qualifications to be intelligent or successful and can learn most of what you need yourself or from the internet, there are some arenas where 'proper' schooling/education is required.
