Rest in peace for that people, that were a big mistake, but what can we do now? We can only pray for them.
You can protest. People just shrugging their shoulders and saying "shit happens" or offering merely prayers aren't going to change anything. Stuff like this only happens because not enough people are outraged or even vaguely bothered by it. One pair of hands working or even one voice protesting can do more than millions of people just offering prayers. We hold the power to change things, not corrupt governments. Stop paying their wages for a start and see how long they work for free. |

I see the future.. SR 2.0, 3.0, 4.5...etc DPR 2.0, 3.0, 4.0... it will never end.
This is true. The new DPR even claimed that if the site is ever taken down it'll be back up an running quickly, although obviously only time will tell on this. Hopefully these black market sites will force governments to consider legalisation and regulation. The war on drugs is futile and everybody with a gram of sense knows it. |

The block reward will drop form 16 to 1 in less then one month. Then lets see how they will protect their chain. I'm looking forward to all the newbs weeping like widows when they can't understand why they're not quark millionaires haha. |

A smart trader never invests all of his money in one single item. Go for 50% Quark, and rest for others.

May I ask where you heard this rumor?
Probably on this forum. |

Funny how everybody was saying PP is evil , PP is the root of all problems.
Then an interview appeared with David Marcus.
The whole board turned: Paypal is adopting bitcoin! Yeah!!! To the moon!
This is both funny and sad to watch.
As much as I dislike paypal and its polices, if PP accepted Bitcoins it would be great for Bitcoin in general. |

There was a definitely a guy who turned the whole operation over to him, to Ross Ulbricht. Nothing is known about him really, only that he became wealthy very quickly and allowed Ulbricht to inherit the mantle of DPR, with all the risks it carries. His writing style is much different from Ross'. There's a pretty stark contrast in the writing styles of DPR when SR debuted and the DPR who started doing the announcements/site addresses a little over a year later, maybe 12-16 months later. The first DPR conveyed a more thoughtful, philosophical, even a somewhat a more pacifist way of explaining SR's purpose and continued existence in the face of constant persecution. He conveyed the characteristics of martyrdom to the cause without explicitly stating as much. Ross Ulbricht a DPR wasn't very subtle with the way he wrote, he was flashy and was constantly talking shit about other markets, about how SR was superior etc. This has been documented to some extend in the SR forums. I haven't looked there recently for any updates, but I'd imagine there's been some developments since I checked it out last. Does Ross know who DPR #1 is? It's hard to say. If he does it'll come out during trial but he may have never even met this guy in person.
I don't think the original DPR has come out of retirement though. I've paid attention to all the site addresses and announcements so far and the guy is not eloquent with the way he writes at all. He seems a little stupid to me, his grammar sometimes isn't on point, it's really weird. Sometimes what he writes sounds somewhat normal. It seems like a third-party running the place to me, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
The change or writing styles could be on purpose though to fool authorities. When DPR was caught he had a Stylometry site bookmarked:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stylometry |

Starting to wonder how legitimate this offer really is since the OP hasn't replied in a couple of days. No feedback usually means something is up if you ask me. If anyone hears anything post it up so others can no the deal with this offer. thx
Most of these are scams just to get hits/activity. Very rare somebody pays out, that's why it's best to get the money out into a reputable escrow. Wouldn't waste my time otherwise. |

I hope we get some Bitcoin ATM machines here in the uk next year. That would really help promotion and legitimise it with the public.
I want to see an altcoin atm if that were to happen then everyone would realize how real this all is and more people would feel like they could establish their own bitcoin brands Yeah, as long as we don't get sexcoin and bbqcoin ones  . |

Thats cool I was talking about before he ever mentioned bitcoin.
Well, he does have a lot of other things to be smug about as well . |

I find hardly anyone can ever correctly spell 'definitly'... wait... definately... definetely... defiantly... fuck!  its spalled defanatalay u durm na larn tu spail u radnak Deffo . |

He always pissed me off, he just comes off smug.
I think if you become a Bitcoin millionaire and have been preaching about how great BTC is for years, then I think you're allowed a little smugmode  .  |

Dogecoins lol, whats next ? Have you seen sexcoin?  |

Sorry I don't get it, what does the picture have to do with anything?
She's a punk, 'pparently. |

I pray that day never comes. Don't get me wrong, I am a strong supporter of bitcoin, but having only one digital currency would be a very bad thing. The global economy thrives on having a multitude of currencys available at any given point in time. A single currency dominating the exchange would end up being a very bad thing. That is unless dollars/euros/etc go digital.
There doesn't have to be just one cryptocurrency for the world; there could be several. They could also coexist alongside fiat ones. |

Only cryptoplebs don't take it seriously yet. I'm sure they'll be wishing they'd've taken it seriously when/if it goes complete mainstream.

Why is it a joke?
A currency for porn only seems like a great idea, one of the problems of the porn industry is that buyers would like to stay anonymous and that's not possible with credit cards.
So they're gonna use a currency called Sexcoin instead? Hardly inconspicuous. The porn industry will just use Bitcoin if they need a crypto. I don't see why they have to have their own coin. |

What is the Doge coin acronym?
You mean what is its abbreviated name like BTC is for Bitcoin, or what is Doge an acronym of? If you mean the former I haven't seen one, but I think it might just be Doge haha. |

Most people have more posts than activity, but my activity always catches up with my posts.  The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)
Activity is updated every 30 minutes.
The info is stickied at the top of Meta and tells you all about ranks and coins etc: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0 |
