Wow, does Mark Beasley have any evidence that the choice of the city's name was due to some discrimination or cause discrimination currently? He could succeed and have the name removed and the memory of the indians fade with it.

Instead of trying to erase Native American history Mark Beasley should do things to promote Native American history, and Buffalo, New York would be gracious to have such publicity.

Navajo indians aren't even from the area where Buffalo is located in the US. The Navajo are from the Arizona/Utah area!

What does the Seneca Tribe have to say about all this?

Hahaha, great pics.

I think the cops are sick of people who are doing criminal or suspicous things getting pissed that the cops are in their face. People can be very self centered. If you're being a shady character you should expect the heat to follow.

Sounds like a good plan. The Greeks need to either do away with the services they can't afford or pay their fucking share of their taxes...you can't refuse to pay taxes and then be pissed that the government has to resort to austerity measures.

Where do I sign up? I'll take a trip to Greece to do some sleuthing on their dime!

It's tough to say for sure without more information. What's the difference in the bid/ask spread between BTC-e and Bit Stamp? The spread is the difference between the bid (what someone will pay) and the ask (what someone will sell for). That difference is usually the fee the exchange or trader keeps for bringing the buyer and the seller together. If there isn't a spread then it's possible that Bit Stamp's higher price is due to them adding a fee into their trading so they can make some money for their services.

At worst you know that you should buy BTC from BTC-e (lower price) and sell your BTC on or to Bit Stamp (higher price)!

Which companies are falling for this sort of stuff? They should do better research!

Activity is a time game. You can earn one point for every day you've been active (e.g., every day since you joined the forum) OR one point for every post, which ever is less. The fastest way to "activity up" is to have one post for every day since you've been active.

Also, if someone has fewer posts than days active they will show a rank equal to their post count. They can quickly get current to their number of days active by posting several times in a single day to equal the earned activity level. The updates are reflected every thirty minutes.

No, it's not bad in terms of morale. That's what the OP is saying, the speculation (i.e., the "to the moon talk") is hurting widespread use and acceptance of BTC as a currency.

At worst this sounds like an awful scam. At best this is terribly insensitive way to help the homeless.

How arrogant of you to drop money from the sky over homeless people or poor areas. You don't have any respect for those you help.

Which game(s)?

I'm in for BTC0.20.

When will we get confirmation?

You're misunderstanding what happened. The school WASN'T following the laws, which is why the parent called 911, to get the police to enforce the laws.

OG, you gotta call them. Their office is in San Francisco in the US, call them and figure out what happened.

So what happened, what did you go with?

If you buy all at once will you tell us when so we can sell when the price jumps? Thanks.

It's interesting that the ECB sees the lack of refund rights as a "flaw" rather than just a con or difference from traditional banking system. While the lack of refund rights is a risk it certainly eliminates some elements of fraud in the existing transaction system.

To the OP, what's your take on these stats? Is this alarming? Is it expected? Why should we care that folks in China make up 54% of BTC mining today?

I wouldn't consider Singapore, South Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, the US or the Philippines developing nations. And just because they have offices there doesn't mean they enable the poor to access bitcoin. Do you have any information on how Bitx is enabling the poor?

If you can't find resorts that accept BTC consider the sites that offer deals on the lift tickets, those retailers may accept BTC. Good luck and send us some pics of your turns on the slopes!

So what does th Dr. have to say about everything? What is her PhD in?

Where do you keep your personal wallets?

Or ask this question in the Marketplace section.

How do you make money in any currency?

Earn, sell, trade, steal (the last part is not condoned by me or Bitcointalk.org, hahaha).

Bitcoin is merely another currency, it operates the same as other currencies.

Beware of companies that will offer you rediculous percent return in a day for your bitcoin, they're likely a scam.

Why not go 50/50...$1000 in BTC and $1000 in Gold?

Or...just through it down on the almighty BTC and let it ride....you gotta let it ride!
