anyway, i'm going to go crazy conspiracy here.. maybe the U.S. wants terrorism to exist, so they have an excuse to invade other countries.
I find it both hilarious and terrifying that so many people still think of that as a conspiracy theory. If the mainstream media told you that objects fall upwards, would you believe gravity is a conspiracy theory? The CIA armed and trained the Taliban to begin with. This is not a secret, it's just what the US always does. |

Thanks but that is an input. There is no prohibition on the value of inputs only on the value of outputs (the goal is to prevent creating new dust, not preventing the "spending" of existing dust).
Hmm... For some reason I thought that 5430 rule applied for inputs too, but now that I think about it, that really wouldn't make a lot of sense. |

it has no dust outputs.
There's one under 5430: 1KM4q73ta9Wt4FHEr8f2pR8JtryuAo2CKV (0.00000745 BTC - Output)

I've noticed a curious duality in your posts recently. Where has magic monkey gone? Whilst I appreciate your own ideas I mourn his loss (though I have to wonder about his relationship with the painkillers you were taking).
I have run out of painkillers, which is making me grumpy. I am rather annoyed with the monkey as well. If I report his cogitations (which are always indecisive until he calls a turn) I risk my own reputation. Oh well, I am pseudonymous for a reason: Monkey says 625 on the 10pm bar was a low. (He decided that at midnight, two hours later, with the price at 638.50.) Monkey likes the upside for at least 4 more hours, considers 656 likely resistance. EDIT: Monkey changed his mind and thinks its going down for 5 hours now. On a daily basis, monkey is expecting to stay biased long until next Tuesday. He first started to like the upside on the 16th, which was a pretty good call, methinks. He had thought the 29th might turn south, but he was (a) wrong and (b) hedging. On a weekly basis, the last time monkey gave up on his longs was the week of the 13th of December, 2013. He failed to call that top out clearly, although he was on the verge of doing so. He decided he liked the long side again the week of the 23rd of May, 2014, and is presently expecting to stay long for at least a month and a half. Disclaimer: The monkey swills expensive single malts constantly. Invest accordingly (i.e., in distillers). Monkey is a fuzzy reasoner.  Sorry for my ignorance but what the fuck are you guys calling magic monkey? Is it a price prediction model? Sigh. Evolutionary psychology 101: Your brain is broadly divided into 3 parts. The oldest of these is the archaiopallium, which deals with the most fundamental instincts - the four "F"s (fight, flight, feeding and mating). This area of the brain is sometimes known as the reptile brain, as it's all that reptiles have, or popularly your "Chimp" (though this term can also include the limbic system). It roughly corresponds to what Freud called the 'id'. In Aminorex's case, these instinctive functions also include financial modelling. Most of the time the id is tempered by the superego, which deals with internalised concepts of morality, and mediated by the ego. However, when the "higher" functions are dulled through use of painkillers or expensive single malt, the chimp or monkey brain wins through. (It's why people fight and have sex a lot when they're drunk.) What you are seeing in these instances is Aminorex's monkey: pure, instinctive, unmediated financial analysis, unfettered by social convention. Ignore it at your peril. This is why I bother to wade through these abominable forums. Once you've macheted your way through the thicket of unabashed trolling and relentless stupidity, you can find some real gems  |

So. Registered on cryptomex. Dont see any shares. What else i must do?
Wait a few days. They will credit the shares to your account if you previously registered using the same email on icedrill.io. For the sake of efficiency, expediency, and lower overhead costs, they're doing it manually  |

It seems like the man may have been a little nuts even before he left his base. Nevertheless, he's clearly a hero. Like his parents he was always opposed to American imperialism and supported the struggle of the Afghan people for freedom. The only reason he enlisted to begin with was because he thought he could help the Afghan people that way, and that is also the reason he left the base that night. Unfortunately, it seems the Taliban (who are almost as bad as the Americans) preferred to use him as a bargaining chip rather than let him join the cause. In a sense he really is a traitor to the US, its army and its imperialist program, and for that he should be proud.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3162444/replies?c=28And right here is the problem with American libertarians. On tax day you whine and whine about the oppressive state, but when some good ol' small-town American soldiers get killed, you suddenly shed a patriotic tear and start waving your flag. A true anarcho-capitalist will not lament the passing of those who volunteer to violently oppress others. |

You might want to look into spondoolies-tech for hardware they deliver their sp-10 from stock (mine took 3 days from order to door) and they have very good power usage. only down fall is they are loud as hell http://www.spondoolies-tech.com/+1 They are rapidly gaining reputation as the most reliable manufacturer in the space right now. |

Quantum theory makes the universe absolutely unpredictable on the quantum scale.
Actually it makes the universe unpredictable on any scale. One reason for this, as Richy_T pointed out, is that chaos theory compounds on top of quantum theory. Small perturbations on the quantum scale could have larger repercussions as per chaos theory. Other reasons could be more simple and direct effects - the classical example, of course, being Schroedinger's cat. Schroedinger came up with that example precisely to demonstrate the effects of quantum uncertainty on the mesoscale. |

Not even sure that the small errors in the physic models are needed. The beauty of René Thom"s chaos theory is that the non-determinism lies deep within the maths.
As an example, even if you know very precisely the speed and the position of the solar's system planets, and the external perturbations, you just can't do the maths, the 3-bodies equations are already too complicated to be solved. And which planet will be ejected from the solar system is still a mystery.
You don't need to solve the equations though. In a deterministic universe, if you know precisely the starting conditions, you could run a simulation and get the prediction. Chaos theory says that small perturbations in the starting conditions can lead to vastly different outcomes. Quantum physics says small perturbations are intrinsic. Even with two initially identical systems, things will occur in one which will not in the other. But to run a simulation you need to be able to solve the 3-body equations... Unless you're running some sort of simplified heuristic simulation, in which case it could never be absolutely deterministic anyway. You have to distinguish practical predictability from theoretical predictability. Chaos theory (as well as the difficulty in solving 3-body equations and such) make the universe practically unpredictable. Quantum theory (and only quantum theory) make the universe theoretically unpredictable. |

Last block on blockchain.info is over 2 hours old. Is there a tread about this?
I'm seeing 302879 through 302881 which are less than 2 hours old... Nevertheless, it is odd to see 3 blocks in the space of 2 hours... EDIT: This seems absolutely real, not a blockchain.info glitch. 3 blocks in the last 2 hours. Accordingly, the number of transactions in each of these blocks is unusually high, and two of them are scraping the 1 MB limit. |

I think your outlook is too pessimistic, what about the possibility of decentralized exchanges or direct peer-to-peer trades without a third party? I think that will be the future if all the exchanges are forced to become this intrusive. And there are also more anonymous coins coming on the market now and I don't think those governments want to push us all away from Bitcoin and towards those coins. So I think they will be forced to come to the bargaining table and loosen up on their intrusiveness.
I certainly hope you're right... Like oda.krell, I'm glad you're optimistic Nevertheless, we must not ignore the existence of a conflict between the interests of the state and the core values of bitcoin. My view is that bitcoin is a revolutionary technology in political (and not just financial) terms. Stripped of its political significance, all it could ever be is a slightly cheaper way for moving money between existing financial institutions. |

And why are those two mutually exclusive in your opinion? Is making Bitcoin useful for businesses detrimental to the democratic nature of Bitcoin? I don't see how really, and I also don't see how the initial ideals can ever come to fruition if you don't make it useful for businesses and palatable to politics.
Here you go: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/26apno/bitstamp_will_not_process_withdrawal_unless_you/This is what happens when you try to make bitcoin palatable to the state. That's just Bitstamp, and it's precisely because of the unclear regulatory nature of Bitcoin right now that they are erring on the safe side. Not all the exchanges are asking those kind of intrusive questions, so if you don't like it then use another exchange or don't use an exchange at all. That's just it, I don't think they're erring on the safe side. I think they're heralding the future. It's just a question of time until all exchanges are forced to become this intrusive. It's just what governments do. If this becomes the norm, bitcoin will lose its primary benefits: privacy and fungibility. It will then either disappear or become a backend solution for the existing financial system. |

So don't use Stamp anymore. I assure you, I won't. But this is part of a growing trend. Compliance will come at the expense of privacy and fungibility. There's no way around that. |

At this rate, we're right on track to 100% ROI by August 2017  This is incorect... you are assuming Zach is not going to sell future contracts diluting our payouts and that future hardware purchases will continue to pay a bonus to us... it wont... by this time next year... the Bitfury miners we just got will not operate at a profit against power costs. The only savior in all this is when LRM finally gets their damn Imperial Monarchs, if that is the choice Zach made. Yes I was being sarcastic In the world of Bitcoin mining, "ROI by 2017" is tantamount to "ROI never"... Only the Flying Spaghetti Monster knows if Bitcoin will even exist by then. Obviously there are many unpredictable factors, both internal to LRM and environmental, which will affect success in the long term. At the rates of difficulty increase we've seen over the last year, ANY mining equipment (Imperial or otherwise) is useful for just a few months. By this time next year, it is quite possible that both Bitfury and BFL will be a distant memory. My point is this: at IPO, the future looked bright and many of us hoped for 100% ROI in a matter of months. At this point we must accept that no particular deal Labrat strikes, no specific purchase of equipment, will get us the kind of return we're hoping for. LRM's only chance of making back the IPO investment is by continuously making smart reinvestment choices and keeping up with difficultly changes over the scale of years. So, hang tight and don't put too much hope on Monarchs... |

Very nice spreadsheet, thanks! Bottom line: we've made 18.7% of IPO investment over 9 months of dividends. That's an average return rate of 25% per annum. At this rate, we're right on track to 100% ROI by August 2017 |

Does anyone know what these addresses are? Has anyone received any btc from this character? Is it anything to do with BTCINVEST?
The money really was sent to BTCINVEST addresses. I can confirm receiving a tiny sum. Nevertheless, I'm convinced TF's account was hacked or sold. Or maybe he went completely nuts. In any case, the language used by this new incarnation is clearly not consistent with the old TF. |

TradeFortress is back. He is posting a lot of messages lately. What's the status on this? How much did he return and how much he kept for himself?
More than 2000 BTC were returned, and 0 BTC belonging to Inputs users was kept by myself. How about very little amounts? Also, I noticed that the domain has expired and has been acquired by other guy? Now I noticed TF is back with new name and trying to built some good again but who is going to give chance now with his money There's no way it's TF. Compare the language, the style, the spelling. Even Leah McGrath Goodman could tell it's not him. His account was either hacked or sold. |
