The client doesn't work really well for me. Crashes every time on exit, even after downloading the whole chain which solved some issues for my friends.
The wallet does not seem encrypted in any way either even though I enabled encryption.
Client crashes for me as well. |

kill everyone who wants bitcoin to go down in value! Then, when they are all dead, we'll have only people who want the price to rise. Then, we'll have to make sure they are not killed shortly afterwards. The victor will have bitcoins, and nobody left to buy them.  Everything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law  . |

Again - for like the umpteenth time. I'm not attacking Bruce. Seems like a very nice person. Look forward to meeting him. Not attacking anyone. I was responding to the anti American crap and just talking basic PR and the failed online coverage. Did you even read my post?
Summary - will places like Pattaya or private cruises add or be good for bitcoin expansion or publicity to a regular public who don't already know about it or aren't already insiders?
Answer: No.
Will there be nice beaches and bars and sex and drugs and whatever? Sure... but keep that stuff private. Hey smoke em if ya got em, I'm just saying official bitcoin conference.... Pattaya? More like private bitcoin party time. Nothing wrong with that, but label it what it is. I doubt you are going to get enslaved asian girls to invest in bitcoin.
But what do I know? I'm a silly american! (talks in monty python american voice while ordering prostitute and bit munchies)
We are all on our defenses here. I am seriously thinking about going to Amsterdam, and the World Cruise. If I go to any of these event's I promise to stream the entire event in Full 1080HD/With full moderated chat and special interviews and articles. I am sorry that things didn't go the best for our first time, but next time I think we will all be much more prepared. |

In Bruces defense, he is setting this up in several locations, so he is taking the initiative to make this accessible to people all over the world. It's so easy to dictate your opinions, but I doubt anyone here knows the amount of work that it takes to organize these events... Bruce is trying to make it as easy as possible for everyone to meet and way to much has been made of the "locations". Who gives a damn where it's at, the point of having multiple locations is so that people in that region can go with less money! |

The cruise is actually a great Idea Bruce.
Advantages are:
Easy conference access for many who can't afford to fly and stay at a hotel.
Free food for the entire stay we are there. Huge savings on a typical expense.
Various different meeting facilities so that we can diversify our meetings ( assuming that we will indeed be renting out these facilities )
Comfortable rooms at much cheaper prices than we would pay at traditional hotels.
The only problem I see with the cruise is Internet access. From previous cruises I have been on I can confirm that the prices for Wifi are ridiculous. Now if you can arrange a group Internet package for us and all of the above I think the cruise might be the most viable option for me and many other Bitcoiners who might be thinking about saving as their number one priority.
Thank you for the work that you do!

I have to admit I am spending to much time on bitcoins. I could be doing many other things ,but I am basically just watching bitcoins. It doesn't help that it's super hot and I do exercising in the mornings.
GET TO WORK! IF YOU NEED IDEAS FOR PROJECTS PM ME. I HAVE ABOUT 30 READY TO GO. Only 30? I know guy on this board who has over that. Please! No guessing! Hint: It's not me. (although I have a dozen) Shrug your shoulders, if you give up.  Bitcoin: An Idea Worth SpendingWell most of my ideas are pretty realistic . I will share one I have and if anyone likes it jump in this with me! I own the domain name BITTICKETS.COM What is BITTICKETS.COM? BitTickets can easily be a ticket vendor for movies/concerts/live shows/ and events that takes Bitcoin as a payment option. That is just one of the many Ideas I have. Some will be failures, but I expect the majority of them to be very successful. However, only time will tell! |

It would be very hard to secure loans via the Internet. Especially the way you're doing it. No offense, I just hate seeing good Bitcoins go to scammers who don't give a damn about this community or Bitcoins in general. You are sort of facilitating bad behavior by literally giving away free money to strangers. Money that isn't even yours (you got most of it from GLBSE) therefore you see no true value in it, other than people saying it's worth "this". I like your idea for Interest free loans, but whats the point of your bank existing in the first place? How do YOU make money? All of it sounds super fishy, and I really don't like where this is going, even if you really are the one loosing money. I say please change your practices and make it look like you're at-least trying to turn this into a legitimate business, otherwise it looks like a poorly planned HYIP...

People like you are the reason why this forum requires
some type of restriction of entry.
People like you are very damaging to open source projects. You only care about moving things in YOUR prefered direction and would like to see anyone who disagrees with you banned from the project and banned from even talking about the project. The_Duke, don't you see this is just a teenager craving for respect and authority? Don't feed the troll. You avoided my question nice dodge. The reason why you avoided my question is because you have NOTHING to show to the Bitcoin community. NOTHING other than your troll posts contributing to the total pollution in this forum. Done feeding you to. |

I am the biggest promoter of Bitcoins open source properties.
No you are not. If you were, you would also be a fierce advocate of as much freedom as speech if possible. Sure, if people start calling names, using excessive swearing or perform illegal activities on the forum (sharing child porn, setting up a money laundering system, whatever) I can see how that needs to be banned. But what you are suggesting goes way beyond that and it has nothing to do anymorw with being a promotor of open source properties. Saying stuff like "if I was a mod I would ban all people from SA forums" would be a huge red flag to me as a forum owner to never give you any moderation rights. But maybe that's just me. Wrong if I had it my way only people who are here to obviously obstruct would get banned. The problem with that is that this "obviously obstruct" of yours doesn't match the definitions others have of it. You seem to be extremely selfish and egotistical in the way you define how this forum should be used. Debate is good and I try to foster it on TweetForum When is the last time you looked at the user count there? I think we all have power as human beings to represent ourselves in ways that make our opinions count. I think I have earned the right in this forum for my opinion to be heard, since it is a sincere and serious.
All you have is baseless attacks in your posts. I am done feeding you. |

"People like you are very damaging to open source projects. You only care about moving things in YOUR prefered direction and would like to see anyone who disagrees with you banned from the project and banned from even talking about the project."
I am the biggest promoter of Bitcoins open source properties. I believe it is Bitcoins greatest strength, and it's one of the reasons we are all here. My preferred direction for Bitcoin doesn't have to match anyone else's other than my customers. That is the beauty of Bitcoin, and it is the reason why it can't be destroyed. No one can hijack Bitcoin and call it their's therefore no personal failures reflect on the currency itself. Anyone can win, and anyone can loose with Bitcoin regardless of the approach.
Of course. If you had your way, anyone who disagrees with your idea's would be banned. That is indeed the easiest way to win a discussion if you can't win it by arguments.
Wrong if I had it my way only people who are here to obviously obstruct would get banned. In RL and on the net some of the people I care the most about are people who disagree with me. I love to talk to people who disagree with me, because honestly that's the best opportunity for me to learn something new and grow as a human. Debate is good and I try to foster it on TweetForum and on BTCTALK.
Wow. Funny how you seem to think that you can define what a forum for an open source project should and shouldn't be. You realise you are nothing more than just another forum user, with just another opinion, just like the people you would like to see banned?
Your whole attitude does explain why you are the only one posting on your own little forum though. Enjoying the powers of moderating there? Great place it must be! No one to disagree with you
I think we all have power as human beings to represent ourselves in ways that make our opinions count. I think I have earned the right in this forum for my opinion to be heard, since it is a sincere and serious. I am trying my hardest to help the community with various projects that I have in the works, and with my hard earned money through various investments. I also give back to the Bitcoin community by donating everywhere I can, and I also run a forum that is still small but is helping people get introduced to Bitcoin every day. I have many members who are now earning Bitcoins, and yes many of them disagree with me, and that's OK. People can disagree with each other as long as they don't disrupt the flow of the conversation. Many people here are pressed on time as it is, and all these disruptions do is lag the inevitable, and I think we all know this.

People like you are the reason why this forum requires some type of restriction of entry. And yes many people have been banned, but not enough IMHO. Unless you're here to learn or invest you should not belong here. This is not that "type" of forum, and the sooner the SA crowd starts to realize that, the faster they will find a funnier forum to troll. The hilarious part (on our end) of this entire debacle with that specific troll forum is that we were actually able to convert some of their troll and now they are solid investors! Pretty soon they will start to delete their own threads at SA in fear that their slime posts are hurting prices. FlipPro, you are totally out of topic in addition to being a fascist. Will you please stop trolling this thread or s.o. will have to get you banned. Thanks. I have to ask you kindly sir, what do you do for the community? I want a place where people can come and debate fairly, without having sick people ruining every single post with their demented egos. |

You guys are also forgetting that this took place in the aftermath of a huge hacking that affected Bruce PERSONALLY and probably still is since he only got back half his Bitcoins from (myBitcoin). I will reiterate my statements in hopes to shoo the filthy trolls away. You are forgetting that he purchased those for 0.x USD anyway, so his financial situation should still be pretty damn good. You also are ignoring that he should be considered pretty damn lucky that he even got 49% back from an anonymous guy on the internet. Also, I wouldn’t even mind if he wouldn’t be hyping things AGAIN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38747.msg479911#msg479911It's his job to promote events. What is your ultimate wish for him, to quit what he's doing? That's what everyone wants because the world is full of haters, and I am sure Bruce is well aware of this. If he wasn't he wouldn't be in the industry that he is in. Media is a fierce industry with tons of competition and money controlling everything, and sometimes your own fans are the ones who want you to fail the most. I think what he is doing is admirable and he should continue to fight for the community, and never settle for anyone. No one else is planning conferences! This is an OPEN SOURCE PROJECT. Anyone can have a damn conference if they are good enough at getting people to go. However, I promise you that 99% of the people in this forum would not have been able to get the same turnout of people that Bruce was able to get to that CONVENTION in New York. Being in the marketing field I know how hard it is to get people to one place, especially when it's something as new and unknown as Bitcoin. I think we could have had better turn out, but either way for it being the first year, it was truly amazing that Bruce was able to organize all this with very little staff, and it only shows how much potential Bitcoins really have in bringing people together. People flew from all over the world to be in New York at Bruce's conference, so obviously he did something that most of the people here would have never been able to do. |

There is a difference between free speech and disruptive speech sir.
Yeah, we know that from China, several Arab countries and to a lesser extend also Russia. If something is not what you would like to hear, you just call it disruptive and have it removed. Maybe you should look up what freedom of speech means. Anyway, I'm sure you'll remember my name so you can ban my "disruptive speech" whenever you manage to get a hold on some moderation-power :') Real cute comparing probably one of the loosest forums I have ever seen in my life (btctalk) to Red China... That's such an oxymoron I don't even need to refute it. This community is vigilant and while some criticism was deserved, this has been an open opportunity for people to go way over their daily limits. I think collectively as a majority we want structure in this community, so that day to day reading is much easier. We all come here to dicuss our ideas and get as much information as possible. People who come here for the sole purpose to disrupt & dilute the value of this community, actually harm Bitcoins by tarnishing the reputation of all it's supporting community members. You're on my watch list. |

The dailymail does have a reputation of publishing bullshit but this is certainly withing the realm of possibility. How much do you think a holiday at Martha's Vineyard costs? Or this Hawaiian Beach side mansion that they stayed at for 2 weeks? I guess some people are just more than happy to work months on end to fund such an opulent lifestyle for their "representatives." To each his own. It's all bullshit though. Obama doesn't need to give up his lifestyle all because republicans don't want to raise taxes on people of his income level. In other words Obama WANTS HIS TAXES RAISED so he can further help the country! |

If you been there please don't click on the link (they love the attention.) I have already applied to be moderator here, and I swear to god I will handle it if I get the chance. About 200+ people would be banned overnight, but I swear to god I would clean this place up...
Hell yeah! After all, what good does free speech do anyway! It just makes people say stuff you don't want to hear. Go get em! There is a difference between free speech and disruptive speech sir. One leads to change, the other leads to a jail cell. EDIT: Or even worse, a mental institution. Which is where 90% of the SA members belong. |
