So now they're banning anyone who mentions how shoddy their IPO was on the Google groups forum.

My bad I should've checked first. Thanks for the payment

Could I get paid and registered again for another month?

Thanks

Where are the mastercoin investors? All the investors I see say they invested with BTC. Even the maidsafe team only invested with BTC apparently.

So maidsafe did the best they could and still managed to botch the campaign so miserably. I wonder what they'll botch next.


Fair indeed 

How exactly does a restaurant catering to certain people constitute a trampling of your rights? Businesses are free to cater to whatever demographic they wish. I'm sure you can find restaurants that cater to you and your ilk, and if not then hey, there's a great business idea for you. I'm sure many people in the middle east aren't too happy having the 'American dream' exported to them via the greatest arsenal of weaponry mankind has ever seen. The western world has murdered and denied the most basic human rights to countless people in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere and you're irritated that a few restaurants in your area choose to serve halal meat because it's good for their business? Gee, I wonder how those people who had their entire lives destroyed by the defenders of 'freedom and liberty' must feel compared to your major dilemma...

Who cares right? It's not like they're humans or anything, just savages living in the stone age, much like the aboriginals and blacks of yesteryear.

That story is fake.

I invested 1 btc into this IPO because I find the concept interesting and it looks like it has potential. I think maidsafe knew that they screwed up the ipo, but it seems they're not willing to compensate the btc investors because it would eat further into the money they raised. I think it's in all of our interests (investors/maidsafe) to discuss this and reach a resolution as soon as possible, as it may grow into a bigger issue later on if left unchecked.

Holding btc doesn't incur interest. The value of gold and silver go up and down and they were used as currency for over 1000 years in the Islamic world. Muslims in the Sahara used to use seashells as currency because they were non-existent in the desert and required difficult journeys to acquire.

The fiat currency system that's around right now isn't halal; banks that deal in usury, printing non-stop paper with imaginary values, putting pictures of dead guys on those papers, etc. Many Muslim scholars agree that dealing with usurious banks (pretty much all of them), is haram/forbidden except in cases of necessity (ie. Job that requires bank account to get paid, no safe place to store money, etc).

There's a middle east btc exchange already in the works.

You do know that a lot of medications contain animal products too right? And a lot of soaps have animal fats in them.

Most soft pills have animal gelatin in them.

Even some baked goods have L-cysteine from Chinese people's hair

Looks like we're at the anxiety level right now, with the holders getting anxious and annoyed at China.

Why not quadrillionaires? No need to be excessively bearish

We would need a whale to dump a large amount of coins at once to have a repeat of that last flash crash. I wonder if the seller made a mistake or maybe they were getting rid of stolen coins.

It is when many people are in denial and need a reality check.

Who said anything about miners? Obviously the miners deserve to turn some profit for their work. This is exactly what I'm talking about. I state the obvious and people ask irrelevant questions about miners and how long it took me to figure this out. Maybe try to counter my points and bring some meaningful discussion to the table.

If we go below $400 again, I don't think the market will recover for a while. Looking at the pattern for the last while, we've been setting lower highs.

Reading some of these posts, it looks like people are starting to get angry. All these hodlers were patting each other on the back and loving the Chinese when they were pumping their yuan into btc. Now it's suddenly F$#@ China! These people don't want the world to adopt btc because it's superior to the current fiat system, they want mass adoption simply so they can become rich. This blind greed is indeed negative news and bad for btc. If this is the attitude prospective btc buyers are going to see from many of the holders, don't expect many people adopting bitcoin.

Our bodies can convert complex carbs into glucose, so we certainly don't need that much sugar. Everybody is different and you can't expect that different people will thrive on the same diet. Some people's bodies need more meats, or sugars, or fats. Some people can't synthesize certain essential amino acids, some can't digest certain grains properly, etc.

The last time I caught a fish I had to use my bare hands. Took a bit of wrestling but I eventually got the better of it 

Even btc going to negative value?
