Top comment: "Change your Facebook profile picture to bitcoin and join the revolution."

No, thank you.  Thank you, no.

This is the kinda useless bullshit that I hate.

Actually its not bullshit, but yeah its not worth it. I have seen a lot of people
 change to show support towards a cause in the past,
and the same can be done for bitcoin.

So Bitcoin is a cause now like breast cancer awareness or stop drunk driving? Silly me, I thought it was a currency payment alternative.
Bitcoin is very political and helps propel forward people who are not able to use the banking systems that many of us take for granted. It's certainly a better cause than breast cancer awareness - like anybody isn't aware of breast cancer?

It's only political for the people on this forum. Everyone I know sees it as just another way to pay for stuff. Breast cancer is a big deal. Early detection saves lives. What do you have against desease free boobies? lol

The bank manager who wouldn't let me open an account for a Bitcoin-related, state and federally compliant business does. Everyone views Bitcoin politically, especially the people not on this forum.

Name one person you know that is not aware of breast cancer.

You could at least get your spelling and grammar correct. I hope this stays at $0.
184  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wikipedia on: December 10, 2014, 05:46:43 AM
Yea it is kind of wack for Wikimedia to require you to put so much personal information:



Kind of defeats the purpose of Bitcoin being a truly anonymous no strings attached method of payment.

At least other non profits like Mozilla, United Way, and Tor Project are more accessible and require less info when donating Bitcoin to them:

http://www.unitedway.org/pages/donate-bitcoin-to-united-way

https://www.torproject.org/donate/donate

Bitcoin was never meant to be truly anonymous.

Wikipedia is the worst website on the Internet you could donate to.


Wikipedia is a "non-profit" website that puts real businesses out of business. They have effectively cornered the online information market and instead of using advertising-based models (which create revenue from the non-enthusiast users), they ask the enthusiast users (who already contribute countless hours of work maintaining pages) for donations.

A few years ago I ran a very large online forum. All revenue was ad revenue. I disabled all ads for all registered users, because they're already contributing content to the site - you don't need to take their money, too. Instead, I let people who were not contributing by posting (unregistered users) contribute financially by littering the site with advertisements for them.

I strongly feel that this is the correct way to run a business (or even a nonprofit website), rather than ask your very best members to contribute money. Wikipedia should partner with Google's advertising and serve advertisements to all non-contributors. Google already puts them #1 for every search term (which pushes the informational sites on specific topics from real enthusiasts out of business), so it would only be natural.

If you want to donate to a site in that space, I'd recommend archive.org. The primary monetary contributors are going to be the users who utilize the resources they provide the most extensively, so asking for donations seems reasonable in their case.

Tails is okay and probably more worthy than archive.org. However, there are lower-funded privacy and anonymity projects you can contribute to that don't constantly have security holes. Properly configured TBB plus FDE is likely significantly safer than Tails.

How about binary options? Try Coinut.
186  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Send funds for bitcoins by email thru Bank of America on: December 10, 2014, 05:15:22 AM
Isn't this a similar process to the "Cash Deposit" option in LocalBitcoins already?

No.

Cash deposit is not reversible.  If I make a cash deposit, and then you send me bitcoins, I cannot go back to the bank and ask for the cash back.  They won't give it to me.

This is more like "PayPal" or "National bank transfer" on localbitcoins.

Actually, they might. Cash reversal scams are extremely common on LocalBitcoins - just search their forums. It's more challenging than just reversing a transfer (it requires human interaction and social skills), but it's still very reversible. It's wise to wait until the bank closes to send someone untrustworthy their BTC.

Why would this effect the price let alone make the price 'go to the moon'? What does the guy who bought them plan to do with them?

Yeah I'm not following the logic here either.

There are strong hints of satire within his post.

Do people not realize that 99.9999% of the market is controlled by people who don't need to cashout their bitcoins in order to buy Christmas gifts?

192  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 08, 2014, 01:21:48 PM


if it breaches 2100CNY Ill be slightly worried, but will still hold, and stand by my last prediction 2 days ago of above $500 / 3300CNY by 15th Dec


 Cheesy

Damn, I nearly spat my coffee all over the keyboard!

There is a certain level of logic to that prediction, though. We pumped a couple weeks ago up to $485 on OKC futures, which is practically $500 in itself. Add in the hypothesis that the price is purposely suppressed before an SR auction and there's a reasonable case that we're due for an end of the year pump.

Always just report the one post with an explanation to check out the rest. Reporting every single one is unnecessary and far too time consuming for both the reporter and staff to handle.
Hmmm....I am curious to know how you report so many posts. Per above you reported ~1k posts since you were promoted which was only a few months ago and works out to ~10 per day or ~300 per month

I am up to ~315 right now, still with a 91% accuracy rating, and do the same with multiple reports on one thread. Maybe it has to do with the lack of signature deals making me post less in general, which means I find less potential reports
The guy has nearly 15,000 posts in a year - it looks like it's just a matter of being online 20 hours a day.
