wow! Congratulations for getting hand on the bitcoin.com domain! Did you have that domain all the time or did you buy it for an enormous amount of BTC from someone else? :)
Good luck with the online wallet service, i hope it will lift off and attract some more people to Bitcoin!

Nothing has been contributed to better the idea of cryptocurrency through ixcoins, especially if the "founder" had to premine 580k for himself and say half are for "bounties".
#2 As I have said before - [...] iXcoins (developed with foresight, planning, and capital put aside to promote and expand the currency)...
Which foresight and planning exactly? And "developed"???? More like rip-off. He/you only did a search&replace for the name and changed the deflatation rate from 24 to 96. Thomas(or you) didn't even take the time to create a unique site, ixcoin.org is a complete rip-off of bitcoin.org. Where is the big "development with foresight and planning"? The only foresight and planning i can see is a pump and dump scam with +580K pre-mined coins. Finding victims that buy/exchange your pre-mined Scamcoins... The bounties "set aside" and listed on the page only add up to 200K coins. Even if he/you pays them there are still plenty of coins left for your personal wallet. |

In other words, when somebody has a legitimate complaint, such as mine about the porm ad in relation to increasing btc adoption among women, shouldn't my view be tolerated? Shouldn't others tolerate it when I'm saying something they don't want to hear? Where has your opinion about porn ads in signatures not been tolerated? Some said they disagree with you but no one here insulted you or made fun of it. First, I cannot believe that porn ALWAYS helps new technology. That is a very strong statement. I seriously doubt it influenced the light bulb or gasoline engine, just to name a couple things. If you insist to weigh one's words than of course it hasn't helped every technology. How could it? I doubt that geek-trader meant that word-for-word. But the porn industry did help new video technologies a couple of times. Porn sites developed video on demand systems since the beginnings of broad-band internet technology, even before most TV stations put their content online. VHS was already mentioned. Fun fact: the porn industry backed HD-DVD standard, and it lost. Some studios like Wicked Pictures did choose HD-DVD but not the whole industry. Also, they switched to BluRay later. The big porn studios and websites were one of the first adopters who shot "movies" in HD with newly developed professional equipment. Besides the format war, the industry knew that physical disc sales had gone down for years and that this wasn't gonna be the future of porn sales. That's why they focused on the internet. Producing HD discs wasn't profitable at that time, they just did it to show they can ;-) The early HD adoption also gave video streaming technology yet another huge push forward(in the technological part, specialized server design, protocol development.. etc). As before with SD streaming, HD porn streaming was way before HD TV series streaming for example. And before someone says "it wasn't porn alone", yes it wasn't porn alone but it had its part on pushing development forward. They experimented with the new technology and helped improving it where others just waited before they jumped on the HD train. Just a note here, there are plenty respectable women out there that enjoy porn #2 To attract average jane&joe to this forum, Bitcoin must become easier to use. The fact that there are so view woman on this board is (imho) just because Bitcoin is still too nerdy and it's not a secret that there are much more male nerds than female nerds on the internet. Removing my signature won't change this and won't bring more women on this board. I think the number of people who are afraid of getting scammed when doing a trade on this forum or the number of people who give up on bitcoin when they see what they have to do before they can even get/use a single coin securely, is much much higher than the number of people who are offended by my signature porn ad. |

This only creates a monopoly on people who can get away with secretly funneling more money. It would be a disaster if they set a limit.
Not really. In France, just for example, parties are not allowed to accept donations from companies at all. Donations from single persons are limited to 7,500€/year max. Bank accounts of the parties are public, the salaries for the members of parliament are public too. Election campaigns must be financed from the money within the public accounts. Parties can "claim back" the campaign money from the tax money, if their party gets at least 0.5% of the votes. And since the accounts are public, they only get back what they really paid for the campaign. So this way an election campaign is a bit more about getting votes from people and not just about collecting big big money from companies to do them "a favor" afterwards. |

2. I won't recommend btc to them either, not at this time. There is no easy way for them to get into the btc market, and no easy way for them to store btc safely. Crimony my client still crashes regularly and I haven't figured out why. I would be embarassed to tell my friends to download it. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for it. But I can't recommend it to my female friends at this time.
Bitcoin is still beta and isn't usable for average jane nor joe yet. |

Those public fund raising campaigns everytime when there's an upcoming election in U.S. are just insane. Why not say every party gets a max of 5million (or whatever) from tax money that they can use on their election campaign. Not a single cent more. Those huge donations from companies only lead to lobbyism...

I just know that this is a huge waist of money when this country is 14 trillion in debt, teachers are getting cut out of class rooms, roads are crumbling, and we are at the brink of collapse because of our inability to pay our own bills, even though we have MORE THAN ENOUGH money it seems to build fake islands in the middle of the ocean. Sure it's a huge waste of money but it's not tax money. |

Women can't come here to be educated without being offended or verbally harassed. For example, there is somebody here who has, as his sig, a site for bitporn. Do the board mods really believe that women want to see that sort of thing? I have porn advertisement in my signature too but I don't intend to offend anyone or harassed you. I do not use banners or oversized font size, my signature is far less annoying than Phinnaeus Gage's signature and his image spam posts in every thread to advertise his leather wallets. (Sorry Phinnaeus Gage  ) But I agree with you that this board isn't really made for women, it's a male nerd club. |

These "bitcoins ewallet/banks" aren't like real banks, as mybitcoin and other showed they can simply DISAPPER and nothing can be done. Not even know who was behind them. Of course they aren't like real banks, they are an online payment service just like Paxum, Dwolla or PayPal. But unlike the owner of mybitcoin the owners of FlexCoin have a real name and address. Btw you guys would really like EVE Online, with your "don't say it's a scam if you have no evidence" you will probably fall in all existing EVE scams I never heard of "EVE Online" but Google says it's a "massive multiplayer online roleplaying space game". Comparing Bitcoin to some random stupid mmprog.... why not?  |

The pre-mined coins were held so bounties could be offered to promote and expand iXcoin
Even if he pays all the bounties as promised there is still a +380K overhead, the bounties sum up to ~200K. |

Come on. Taking the BTC source code, changing almost nothing but the name, and trying to compete with Bitcoin (after mining 500K coins for himself, of course)? #2 The pre-mining of 580K Coins was just too much. I've just bought my 2000 IXC for a very cheap 12BTC

If you don't trust an online wallet service then don't use it. Do you have any real evidence that flexcoin is a scam? The fees you mentioned are clearly listed on their site, how is that a scam? I don't know if anyone has checked these information yet but they also have a real address listed on the site: http://www.flexcoin.com/?page_id=208Don't label something a scam if you do not have any evidence. |

Round #3 I've retried with a sober brain this morning.  I messed up your high score list tho, I had to restart from level 1. Add me another hour or so, nmat was faster! Nice game, keep up the good work! |
|
|
|
 ^I thought i told you i can't "fire up my brain" today. I'm stuck. May someone else succeed  |
|

D'OH I can't brain today, i has the dumb. I thought there was some base64 involved yesterday and "emSdAcWZioP" looked so 64 to me  |

You can, but not in the client tho. There are several mirror sites where you can download the current blockchain via http instead of waiting for the client to download it: For example: http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/blockchain-nightly/These archives contain a complete, up-to-date copy of the blockchain.
You can use them by simply uncompressing them into your existing bitcoin
data directory and opening bitcoin with the -rescan option.
That would be some variation on
User Folder/AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin or User Folder/Application Data/Bitcoin on Windows,
or some variation on User Folder/.bitcoin/ on UNIX/Mac.
These files are pgp signed, please ask me (BlueMatt) on freenode
or check my forum sig on bitcointalk.org for the relevant public
keys. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4530.0 |

bitfreak: Did you alter level 4? I had to restart from the beginning because i didn't save the level codes and cleared cookies. On level 4, instead of the Base64 line with a changing phrase i get a static line (no matter how often i restart the game, switch ip, clear cache&cookies): function checkPswd() {
var pswd = document.getElementById('pswd').value;
if (pswd = emSdAcWZioP) {
document.forms[0].submit();
} else {
alert('Wrong password. Please try again.');
}
}^Is that correct? The "if (pswd = emSdAcWZioP)" was some Base64 before, if i remember correctly. |
