Before I continue, i will say I have quite enjoyed the discussion with you. Despite different views, I do like to discuss things like this when both or more parties are respectful in it.

Interesting view. Actually, that is also similar in the material, that the one creator creates and seeks to know itself with its own will. I do believe however unlike yourself and found in that material that each creator portion such as me and you have free will, and us using that is simply the one creator using its own free will. The interaction of us two, of everyone on this forum, everyone in the world, the people playing a game of pool, those at a nightclub, are all portions of the one creator interacting with itself by the interplay of its many portions.


Quote
82.10 ▶ Questioner: Why does this partaking in the original thought have a gradient radially outward? That’s the way I understand your statement.

Ra: I am Ra. This is the plan of the One Infinite Creator. The One Original Thought is the harvest of all previous, if you would use this term, experience of the Creator by the Creator. As It decides to know Itself It generates Itself into that plenum, full of the glory and the power of the One Infinite Creator which is manifested to your perceptions as space or outer space. Each generation of this knowing begets a knowing which has the capacity, through free will, to choose methods of knowing Itself. Therefore, gradually, step by step, the Creator becomes that which may know Itself, and the portions of the Creator partake less purely in the power of the original word or thought. This is for the purpose of refinement of the one original thought. The Creator does not properly create as much as It experiences Itself.

Then we have something that you said, that I do find interesting.

Quote
God looks at the direction of the faith of our spirit, and expresses it in our lives in the direction He designs, through changing, as necessary, cause and effect back in the beginning, to produce His desired results right up to the present.

You point out something that would be impossible to disprove. I state that free will is used by an individual portion of the creator such as us and thus by the creator, you state that the creator looks to create the desired results and that it expresses its will through us. Both are the creator expressing its will. Neither concept is separate and both my view and yours would be valid when seen in the context that all is one, and one is all.

I will point out that I also do not identify the Creator as 'he' as both male/female are two sides of a coin and both equal to one another and beyond a certain point on our path back to the creator, polarity ceases to exist it seems. Having connected with the one infinity during meditation and got a small taster that we are all one, I am certain that we are all part of the one infinite creator.

You believe that we as an individual aspect may have no say and that the creator is expressing its will direct through our aspects, whereas I see the aspects as expressing their own free will and thus the free-will of the creator. There is actually no way of proving or disproving either statement, but they both seem to have the same message but intepreted slightly differently.

Whatever our belief systems, provided we are both kind to others in our day to day lives, the core belief system will matter much less than having been good to others. I seem to have deduced that much on my own path, though my information will have a positive bias to it and its' own bias, as the viewpoint of any one portion will have a degree of bias, including my own, including Ra's, including the views of any one person. That is where free-will discernment of information for you is important.

Whatever belief system you feel is right, hold it close to your heart, and do what you feel is right in your life, for the greatest gift we have is free will, and all will be well. If you feel the bible is giving you the spiritual faith and empowerment you need on your path, then it is the right piece of information for you and having your faith behind every action you make will make all the difference in the world.

If it were direct by God, what language does God speak? What happened to all the millions of souls before the Bible's creation? Though my belief system shows all things as part of one infinite creator / God / Intelligent infinity, so God wrote your post, my post, created Bitcoin, etc. An aspect of the one infinity with its own viewpoint.

Jesus biggest act was teaching people love/compassion/forgiveness and had a full understanding of what he was doing. Note that I see Jesus' teachings and the Bible as separate discussions that crossover, due to both positive/negative things in the bible. I have analyzed the Bible in detail.

I think for example on a positive note in the bible:

Quote
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Quote
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Quote
Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs.

Quote
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself

But then you have negative fear-based stuff stating that you should fear god, in particular the second quote, which contradicts an all loving god

Quote
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Quote
"Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Quote
I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

The one who fears is not made perfect in love, but then you have a quote telling you to fear Him and saying women should be quiet. This means all female teachers are violating that passage. That is why an inward digestion of the contents is needed, to separate the wheat from the chaff. Both opportunities for positive/negative interpretation are in the Bible. Either to control others and put them down as the second set of verses do, or empower people as in the first set of verses.

I would say here, that my analysis of things like the bible has proven to me of the positive/negative service to others or service to self-path both being given equal opportunity to put humanity one way or the other through their own free will. I have seen religious people go nuts controlling others and stating me as a homosexual is devil spawn, but then we have others who practice jesus' teachings of loving all.

Belief systems are of our own free will, after all.

Bitcoin is currently secure. ECDSA is not broken but has weaknesses that developers must account for. Also, I think updates will be needed due to the risks of quantum computers in a few years.

I definitely agree. I think that's the general plan when ECDSA is broken -- hard fork to a quantum-resistant signature algorithm. I also think it would be possible to implement Lamport one-time signatures with a backward compatible soft fork in the meantime, similar to how Segwit was implemented.

I will never say its infallible, as all technology has security risks, and I love Bitcoin, but PoW is a waste of electricity.

It's not necessarily a waste if you consider what it might be replacing. The banking and gold minting industries consume immense amounts of energy.

I'd love to see an economically viable blockchain that can compete with Bitcoin's security while consuming drastically lower amounts of electricity. Unfortunately, nothing like that exists yet.

To be fair you have a point on the PoW thing, it is miles better than PoS in any case or what is currently on offer. I did like the Proof of Importance algorithm used my XEM / NEM, which I think is a good alternative and it solves many of the problems PoS has:

https://cryptoslate.com/nem/

Quote
Your chance of successfully verifying the network is not solely dependent on how much you have at stake – rather, it is based on how many transactions you have made in the past, and the quality of those transactions.

Sending 1,000 XEM to another account that has already vested 10,000 XEM is an example of a quality transaction. Setting up a bunch of accounts and sending XEM between them will not be enough. If an account sends XEM and receives the same XEM back again, it will lower the account’s importance score.

I prefer this to PoW, but you do have a point on PoW.

Your mention of a soft fork and the one-time signatures is actually a great idea. I would suggest that any fork regarding ECDSA being broken should be done before (i.e when QC become mainstream) and I wonder what will happen to some of the old addresses that have not had funds moved since 2009 for example.

To buyers, ESCROW or meet in person. I had on my old accounts sold a few items of around £40 - £50 in value and the buyers did not use escrow though I did send the items! Had the situation been reversed, I probably would have used escrow for anything over £40 and would not have risked even that to a newbie and would have used escrow for that amount. That account got hacked and I was back to newbie status here, but my advice still stands. If in doubt or for a large amount, ESCROW, ESPECIALLY to newbie accounts or even older ones, as it may have been sold.

ECDSA is not broken. I am a full supporter of Bitcoin but I will point out that ECDSA has weaknesses that have caused problems with allowing coins to be stolen. If the same nonce value is used on two signatures, the private key can be computed from signatures stored on the blockchain(this was the part of the transaction that SegWit moved storage of, so signatures were not counted as part of the 1MB block limit). Quite a few coins have been stolen this way, and reputable wallet software MUST be used to avoid this problem.

This has happened a few times in the past and some people use bots to scan the blockchain for this. Not reusing addresses or using good wallet software stops this, it is also how the playstation 3 private keys were found. In this case, no amount of account 2FA will save you, a hardware wallet wouldn't if nonce values were reused, though any reputable HW wallet manufacturer such as the ones we know and love ensures this is not a problem nor has it been a historical problem with any HW wallets we know.

I am betting next-generations of Bitcoin malware could sit quietly and fuck with the PRNG on your system to leave you open to scenarios like this or bad browser RNGs causing problems in some web wallets.

This vulnerability in ECDSA has happened with Blockchain.info before:

Bitcoin is currently secure. ECDSA is not broken but has weaknesses that developers must account for. Also, I think updates will be needed due to the risks of quantum computers in a few years. I will never say its infallible, as all technology has security risks, and I love Bitcoin, but PoW is a waste of electricity. I like that I can send money with no government oversight, move wealth around at high speed, have control of my cash. The general public has not yet reached the level of responsibility needed to 'be their own bank', and Bitcoin I do not think will replace traditional money for a long time but will operate alongside the financial system. I fully accept any Bitcoin holdings I may have may go up/down.

FUD or Rose Tinted Glasses all cause harm to Bitcoin. People had years in which to solve the capacity overload of Bitcoin, and spent months bickering in forums while Bitcoin entered the mainstream in 2017 and the Joe public fully felt this problem and it is what seeded my first doubts about mainstream adoption. I was in full support of SegWit being applied ASAP. What the joe public saw, high fees, slow transactions, and volatility may very well have hampered adoption, as once the joe public is burned once, they do not like to be burned twice. Bitcoin is no scam and is a genuine P2P electronic cash system, but how to convince the public of that when all they see is community interests, rose tinted specs or FUD?

Nearly all my friends went from thinking Bitcoin had a future, were interested in it, to Bitcoin is not stable, slow, unusable as cash and WENT BACK fully to fiat and have not given it another thought. I think there is chance for future adoption, but it needs to work hard to restore PR, and this is the communites job.

Just be aware, that I fully respect your belief system and have no defense on that due to the importance of free-will of others. I will state my opinion though thus:

The problem with the bible, is like many texts it was written by man with the same fallacies as man and has both negative and positive opportunities to interpret the messages due to both positive and negative influences as this world allows equal opportunity for both. Has some truth in it yes, all religions contain a degree of truth, but discernment is crucial.  Even the law of one material is not infallible due to Ra being an entity with its own viewpoint however advanced. All religious text can be taken a positive or negative context. Why would an infinite creator claim that we shouldn't channel to another part of himself, that is an aspect of the one whole? Why would an all loving God send children to burn in hell? That is where I discerned fear-based information, even at a young age.

Like the person who will use the bible in one of two ways
1. use the bible to tell others what to do and not do, control people control wives, burn witches at the stake, persecute homosexuals, persecute other religions or
2. Will use the teachings in the bible to help others, be kind to others, spread the message of love Jesus was trying to spread, spreading the message we are all one.

The crew who channeled this, especially the lady was so positive to other people, and was a practicing Christian though the material is religion-neutral. I have quoted some parts of it that describe Jesus' lifetime from their understanding and about the bible:

Quote
26.4 ▶ Questioner: Assuming that it is all right to continue, we’re down to the last 3000 years of this present cycle, and I was wondering if the Law of One in either written or spoken form has been made available within this past 3000 years in any complete way such as we’re doing now? Is it available in any other source?

Ra: I am Ra. There is no possibility of a complete source of information of the Law of One in this density. However, certain of your writings passed to you as your so-called holy works have portions of this law.

26.5 ▶ Questioner: Does the Bible as we know it have portions of this law in it?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

26.6 ▶ Questioner: Can you tell me if the Old Testament has any of the Law of One?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

26.7 ▶ Questioner: Which has more of the Law of One in it, the Old Testament or the New Testament?

Ra: I am Ra. Withdrawing from each of the collections of which you speak the portions having to do with the Law of One, the content is approximately equal. However, the so-called Old Testament has a larger amount of negatively influenced material, as you would call it.

26.8 ▶ Questioner: Can you tell me about what percentage is Orion-influenced in both the Old and the New Testaments?

Ra: We prefer that this be left to the discretion of those who seek the Law of One. We are not speaking in order to judge. Such statements would be construed by some of those who may read this material as judgmental. We can only suggest a careful reading and inward digestion of the contents. The understandings will become obvious.

It also seemed to point out that Jesus was in fact, a real entity:

Quote
17.16 ▶ Questioner: When Jesus of Nazareth incarnated was there an attempt by the Orion group to discredit him in some way?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

17.17 ▶ Questioner: Can you tell me what the Orion group did in order to try to cause his downfall?

Ra: I am Ra. We may describe in general what occurred. The technique was that of building upon other negatively oriented information. This information had been given by the one whom your peoples called “Yahweh.” This information involved many strictures upon behavior and promised power of the third-density, service-to-self nature. These two types of distortions were impressed upon those already oriented to think these thought-forms.

This eventually led to many challenges of the entity known as Jesus. It eventually led to one, sound vibration complex “Judas,” as you call this entity, who believed that it was doing the appropriate thing in bringing about or forcing upon the one you call Jesus the necessity for bringing in the third-density planetary power distortion of third-density rule over others.

This entity, Judas, felt that, if pushed into a corner, the entity you call Jesus would then be able to see the wisdom of using the power of intelligent infinity in order to rule others. The one you call Judas was mistaken in this estimation of the reaction of the entity, Jesus, whose teach/learning was not oriented towards this distortion. This resulted in the destruction of the bodily complex of the one known as Jesus to you.

17.18 ▶ Questioner: Then if the entity Jesus was fourth density and there are Wanderers on the planet today who came from fifth and sixth density, what was it that Jesus did that enabled him to be such a good healer and could these fifth- and sixth-density beings here today do the same?

Ra: I am Ra. Those who heal may be of any density which has the consciousness of the spirit. This includes third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh. The third density can be one in which healing takes place just as the others. However, there is more illusory material to understand, to balance, to accept, and to move forward from.

The gate to intelligent infinity can only be opened when an understanding of the instreamings of intelligent energy are opened unto the healer. These are the so-called Natural Laws of your local space/time continuum and its web of electromagnetic sources or nexi of instreaming energy.

Know then, first, the mind and the body. Then as the spirit is integrated and synthesized, those are harmonized into a mind/body/spirit complex which can move among the dimensions and which can open the gateway to intelligent infinity, thus healing self by light and sharing that light with others.

True healing is simply the radiance of the self causing an environment in which a catalyst may occur which initiates the recognition of self, by self, of the self-healing properties of the self.

17.19 ▶ Questioner: How did Jesus learn this during his incarnation?

Ra: I am Ra. This entity learned the ability by a natural kind of remembering at a very young age. Unfortunately, this entity first discovered his ability to penetrate intelligent infinity by becoming the distortion you call “angry” at a playmate. This entity was touched by the entity known as Jesus to you and was fatally wounded.

Thus the one known as Jesus became aware that there dwelt in him a terrible potential. This entity determined to discover how to use this energy for the good, not for the negative. This entity was extremely positively polarized and remembered more than most Wanderers do.

17.20 ▶ Questioner: How did this aggressive action against a playmate affect Jesus in his spiritual growth? Where did he go after his physical death?

Ra: I am Ra. The entity you call Jesus was galvanized by this experience and began a lifetime of seeking and searching. This entity studied first day and night in its own religious constructs which you call Judaism and was learned enough to be a rabbi, as you call the teach/learners of this particular rhythm or distortion of understanding, at a very young age.

At the age of approximately thirteen and one-half of your years, this entity left the dwelling place of its earthly family, as you would call it, and walked into many other places seeking further information. This went on sporadically until the entity was approximately twenty-five, at which time it returned to its family dwelling, and learned and practiced the art of its earthly father.

When the entity had become able to integrate or synthesize all experiences, the entity began to speak to other-selves and teach/learn what it had felt during the preceding years to be of a worthwhile nature. The entity was absolved karmically of the destruction of an other-self when it was in its last portion of lifetime and spoke upon what you would call a cross saying, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” In forgiveness lies the stoppage of the wheel of action, or what you call karma.

I have been on a spiritual path for many years, and came across this material known as The Law Of One material. This material seemed too detailed and too complex in English with the concepts introduced to have come up with it on a whim. A group of 3 people channeled a spiritual entity known as Ra. One was a scientist, the other two were highly spiritual.

They described many things that I learned on my own path independently, such as why we are here, the levels of spiritual evolution, why we do not remember our past lives, the choice of positive or negative as a method to continue evolution. The Ra material was unique in that Carla would go into deep trance and had no memory of sessions, and it wasn't until the sessions were in their 20s that Don started to tell Carla what she had channeled, to try and preserve the validity of the contact. Only once she had challenged the entity would she enter the trance state.

The material is available for free at www.lawofone.info  / llresearch.org has other material channeled by love light research.

It has things like this: "all of life, all of creation, is part of one original thought"

or my favorite:

Quote
50.7 ▶ Questioner: Thank you. Can you expand on the concept which is this: that it is necessary for an entity to, during incarnation in the physical as we call it, become polarized or interact properly with other entities and why this isn’t possible in between incarnations when he is aware of what he wants to do, but why must he come into an incarnation and lose memory, conscious memory of what he wants to do and then act in a way that he hopes to act? Could you expand on that please?

Ra: I am Ra. Let us give the example of the man who sees all the poker hands. He then knows the game. It is but child’s play to gamble, for it is no risk. The other hands are known. The possibilities are known and the hand will be played correctly but with no interest.

In time/space and in the true-color green density, the hands of all are open to the eye. The thoughts, the feelings, the troubles, all these may be seen. There is no deception and no desire for deception. Thus much may be accomplished in harmony but the mind/body/spirit gains little polarity from this interaction.

Let us re-examine this metaphor and multiply it into the longest poker game you can imagine, a lifetime. The cards are love, dislike, limitation, unhappiness, pleasure, etc. They are dealt and re-dealt and re-dealt continuously. You may, during this incarnation begin — and we stress begin — to know your own cards. You may begin to find the love within you. You may begin to balance your pleasure, your limitations, etc. However, your only indication of other-selves’ cards is to look into the eyes.

You cannot remember your hand, their hands, perhaps even the rules of this game. This game can only be won by those who lose their cards in the melting influence of love; can only be won by those who lay their pleasures, their limitations, their all upon the table face up and say inwardly: “All, all of you players, each other-self, whatever your hand, I love you.” This is the game: to know, to accept, to forgive, to balance, and to open the self in love. This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit beingness totality.

I thought i would share this material, because to me, it is one of the few pieces of external spiritual material that I read, that struck a chord with me. One that respected both the scientific and the abstract concepts that we live by. I would read the intro to get a good idea.

This entity emphasized due to human free will, it is up to the people to decide what/how they proceed on their path.

It is obviously a parody, no one with any sanity would flush their hard-earned cash down the loo, though someone flushed 0.0001364 BTC down the toilet. If someone does because they think its a good joke, then hell I have made a few quid. If someone takes a dump of say 0.0075 BTC or higher, I will send an actual item with the logo on it, plus novelty bogroll. If I want to earn a decent amount of money, then I freelance and work a legitimate job like everyone else.

I did put a ledger referral ad in there, as even the bitcoin toilet aims to promote the need of a secure wallet, lest your bitcoins be forcibly flushed by a hacker.

UNO should be proud that it made a spot on one of the few honest sites there is in crypto. No promises of ROI, no bullshit, no roadmap promises, no presales, no airdrops, no magical money out of thin air for no effort. Just a site to flush your cash.

I often comment on the bitcoin toilet on as many scam posts that I can find on social media, stating that anyone who wants to invest in a SCAM ICO is better off flushing their bitcoins. I still cannot believe how many are still investing. I got a PM from someone asking me if I could list my 'ICO' on their site, when it isn't even an ICO.

I am a freelance writer who has worked on many projects, including cryptocurrency ones. I can send work samples. I accept payment in BTC, LTC, PayPal or UK bank transfer.

Looking for either short or long-term writing jobs.
37  Economy / Computer hardware / [WTB] Antminer R4 / S9 (in UK) with PSU or an antminer L3+ on: November 26, 2018, 05:44:02 PM
I would like to buy an antminer, an R4 preferably or an S9 / L3+. Bitmain are selling S9s for like $150 or L3+ for $65, but i can probably save on PSU cost and shipping if i get one on the forum. An R4 i would like to use as a space heater and make a bit back from the power cost, as i need one this time of year and the R4s are nice and quiet.

We MUST escrow with ognasty or psychoticboy, or I could pay PayPal or i could come and collect it if you are close enough to me and pay cash or BTC and have a cuppa while we wait for confirmation. I am in UK and am looking for UK or EU sellers only.

I fully understand why they stopped it. I would have done myself, had the situation been reversed. As writing is a side job for me, I use it as my bitcoin investment and because I like to spend bitcoin and use it for it's intended purpose.

It should hopefully come right, which it will do but the volatility is hindering wider adoption.

I am well aware of the chargeback risks, as I have been working with my clients and always been paid on time I will use PayPal, otherwise i refuse to use PayPal, for exactly that reason I used to list Bitcoin on eBay and wait for people offering to pay through PayPal, then alert the owners of compromised accounts, 99% of the time it was a scammer trying to buy it.

I have been receiving BTC payments for writing since 2016 by my two main clients. Only odd amounts of work, but still always been paid in BTC. They have both stopped paying me in Bitcoin as they said the volatility is driving them up the wall using it, and have wanted to go back to PayPal :/

The volatility sucks. I am less bothered about the price but more want it to stop jumping over the place. This is one major issue with adoption.

I am taking advantage of this bear market to own a full bitcoin once more.
