1) We are all here dealing voluntarily with a super-volatile currency because we think it will take off. Everyone is going to have a bitcoin account in this speculative future.
2) Have you really never seen 'Cops' or read a newspaper? You don't get caught by being smart... Plus, once those idiots who are "destroying bitcoin, coin by coin" wreak their havoc, .05btc will be like, 2% of the whole bitcoin economy. <---(This is a joke)
3) See #2
4) Hopefully this future-app in our speculative-future here wards off this future thug with its futuristic dummy account, but please refer to numbers 1), 2) and 3) regarding that future thug beating you to a pulp.

Bullion is also plucked off your bruised and bleeding body in the back alley where you were just robbed, and will most certainly buy you a good time with any customs officers you may encounter.

I would skip the bullion. Too sketchy...but diversity of assets is good.

You've got a place to stay in Los Angeles if you need it. The trip sounds awesome.

Don't compare Al Jazeera to Fox News, compare it to the Associated Press...it is the main conduit for news media in the eastern world. Size does matter when you view it in context.

Seriously...fuck off OP. Anyone with access to google can find it. There is a goddamn Wired article about how to find it, for christ's sake. I will show anyone for free.

You see the worst gang of them all, the DEA, waging war...but it's not helping. I live less than two miles from 11 - yes, eleven - dispensaries. The only thing being waged between them is a price war, which is great for the consumer.


No dog has ever smelled LSD, and most LEA have never seen it. Same goes for fungus. There are plenty of ways to ship drugs without odor being an issue. We are not talking about zip lock baggies here, fella.

Run a service industry, write off overhead, pay your taxes if you aren't clever enough to avoid it, and keep good books.

But c'mon, that's child's play. Anyone with an illegitimate revenue stream owns a service of some sort. Tell us about this 'dark pool' you've been using.

Are you fucking joking? You watched some breaking bad and are now the expert in laundering cash?

An LLC in California costs $800 a year. If you are laundering your money at 40%, you're doing it wrong...though on the other hand, I guess you could be doing it HUUUUGE, in which case I doubt you'd be on here bragging about it.

If I am selling you an eighth of weed, I can be reasonably sure that at the time of transaction, I can exchange your 5 btc for for that day's rate of $10/btc, and at worst I am out $50 if value plummets.

If I am selling you ten pounds, the odds that I will be able to liquidate $30,000USD worth of bitcoin without affecting market values is pretty slim, not to mention that a normal day's volatility may cost me $10,000. Fuck that. There is no incentive to use BTC for big transactions.

I am still waiting for an elaboration on the 'pay me to work for me' business model.

Hahaha. Is that the tagline for your series?

One time I felt the supernatural, but then she slapped me.

I like that guy...he just seemed...honest.

Win.

Huh? The 'private sector' controls over 90% of the country...the government only holds a small portion of the capital.

I think you should start a new thread for your employment. Too much anti-tax/anti-government here...tends to scare off legitimate businessmen. And for the second time on this forum, I'm sorry I had a fight in the middle of your Black Panther party.

This...

Typing Bitcoin into Youtube's search engine yields a bunch of pretty legitimate looking stuff. More likely, companies that track search trends to increase market exposure are picking up the word Bitcoin with Viagra, Cialis, Vicoden, Justin Bieber, and DVDA.

Honestly, people act like they are giving up a friggin' toe or something. I signed up yesterday after lurking for weeks and have racked up 8 hours and plenty of posts just reading up on things and doing a bit of trolling. It's not a big deal, and is enough of a deterrent to keep at least some of the shills away.

Haha. FTW.

A 'net lucky' streak is meaningless. The past hashes and blocks have no bearing on the future, save for their influence on difficulty, which is a global modifier and not significant in your example. I agree that a pool way in the hole is probably a deterrent to people coming in, but paying for the work as it was carried out is as fair as can be, even if it isn't ideal for the newcomer. What would be the incentive to stick around if your money was being paid to someone else? You'd drive away more hashing power that you would attract with a large positive SMPPS buffer.

You keep speaking of lucky streaks as if they are a train you can hop on. They do not exist and probability always wins in the end. You'll get your BTC eventually, as long as the pool op is legit. Remember, if you aren't finding blocks and getting paid, neither are they. They have incentive to square up those shares properly.

If someone has a miner go down while they are at work and can't restart it for ten hours, why should it make their previous PPS hashes of less value? The whole reason for PPS is to reduce the influence of time on the pool overall. Why bring it in again as a penalizing factor?

Rocking the charts there, fella. Awesome.

I am not dropping my hashrate to play a game
