Unless you are Patrick, which I wouldn't rule out, I don't think you are on the inside 

Its not for counterfeiting, its for playing with. Last time Mush came over to play, we played jenga and legos with 30 lbs of lead ingots. We need more though.

We are trying to catch drain bamage

I'm against finding the identity of the BTC-E owners. They don't ask for my info, I don't want their info as long as they don't run off with my money. They have earned my trust with years of excellent service, and they are currently the only exchange that I deal with. I'd say more than likely they don't want their ID's revealed for legal reasons, and I can respect that.

As far as I can tell, they have figured out that they stand to make far more money in the long run by operating legitimately, as one of the few exchanges that can't be shut down at the whim of the U.S Government. I say leave them alone until there is reason to find their information.

My largest complaint is that sometimes there are miscommunications due to the language barrier, but I've seen them act incredibly ethically, even when they didn't have to. Not to mention back when you could make faces in the chat box, they gave me a secret custom gif for my birth day   I had people offering me tens of Bitcoins to tell them to type :blacat: But I wouldn't do it! *kicks self in the butt*

You have EVERYTHING to do with this coin!

Hehe, the reason I'm interested in this coin, is because my buddies and I were working on making Goatcoin for giggles, but when I saw this come out I just kind of laughed that we had been beaten to the punch, and felt obligated to mine it.

My version of goatcoin was to be about the animal and Chang Noi Goat. The ultimate goal was to get Goat to accept my goatcoins, and thats about it.

And a pool. Sorry for breaking yours 0btc  , but there are no others at the moment. I'd solo mine, but tis not working for me.

This, while I don't really agree with the removal of the newbie requirements, I haven't seen any substantial out of place newbie spam, maybe one or two threads in the last day or two, I had expected a lot more. People are talking about the flood of topics, but I can't seem to find them. Please report them people.

Their site, their rules. They could decide to remove Bitcoin trading and ban anyone who mentions the word Bitcoin, or the color orange, or that owns a goldfish. If you don't like it, don't use them.

*edit* because this comes up so much, and people keep spreading misinformation, not that this will help, Balthazar, a very long time chat mod and a close friend of BTC-E created NVC, its not really a shock that BTC-E started trading Novacoin, it was more than likely a favor to Balthazar, he did give them a bunch of coins as a present, but then when people started getting pissy, they sent all of the coins to an unusable address. I don't know about the FTC situation.

The original doge early adopters intention was to pump doge, and then dump it on stupid people who would buy in on a dead meme (I was there during the conversation but decided I wouldn't bother with it) the question is, have they already done so, and did doge recover, or has it yet to happen. It was all done publicly, so I'd be surprised if BTC-E wasn't aware of it. They probably A. aren't interested in listing it in the first place, or B. would like to wait and see how everything turns out.

I'd assume its the acid in the ketchup, mild enough that its not going to corrode the metal more, but strong enough that it will actually work, but thats just my guess, I'm not cleaning it.

The 2011 Casascius coins were made, and they were funded at time of sale. If he didn't sell them until 2012 then they weren't funded until 2012.

I agree.

Anyway, on topic and straight to the point. Hell no.

I too got my payout.

Incorrect. The law that made it illegal to melt currency was passed in 1967, all currency produced before 1967 is legal to melt down. Luckily for us, it is 1965 and earlier that are 90% silver, so all 90% silver coins are legal to melt.

I don't think giving a donation from the forums to the developers if they need it is a bad idea, but I don't think constantly paying the developers would be a good idea. The forums are a place to get together and talk about Bitcoin, its an informal message board, not a hiring agency. The goal is not to centralize, if everything bitcoin starts revolving around the forums, rather than it just being a convient place to chat, problems could occur.


Would you mind providing TXIDs to where Theymos is taking BTC out of the forum's fund? (not to mention that Theymos doesn't actually hold most of the coins)

Also, Custom forum software was announced to have started development about a month ago, maybe more, it will take a while, but there will be new forum software. If we are lucky, that "~$9,000,000 in the forum accounts" will be a whole lot more by the time it needs to be spent.

I don't know what the big emphasis is on spending the forum's coins, why must all of the coins be spent? Had they all been spent last year, they would have had far less buying power. The longer the coins sit, the more buying power the forums has for upgrades. Why must it all be spent immediately if not sooner?

Daily bump

Heh, yes I have been advised 

However, I'm not going to do any restoration work on it. If someone else wants to, they are welcome to.

That I have, thank you very much. If I'm in the market for another, you will be the first person I ask 

There is no hashing promise. I get it, its a good joke, it accurately satarizes the flaws of other Asic companies and is therefor humorous. Off topic is an accurate place for it.

The prototype is a picture of a horse. Its not mining hardware. The entire thread, and I'd assume the order for a 0.035 BTC picture of a horse is a joke as well.

Can't tell if you are kidding or not. The thread is satire, I don't see why off topic isn't fine for it.

Minus the altering your mind part, Dank is actually rather close to a few existing theories of time travel. It is true, time really doesn't exist. Its just the progression of events measured in an evenly divisible amount of smaller "time" units based on the sun/light in general.

Personally, I believe time travel to be possible, however it is rather useless. It almost always requires moving faster than the speed of light which I believe will be possible in the future. However, all you would be able to do is alter your own perception. Light may be hitting your eyes from 30 minutes in the past, however people are still going to continue progressing as normal.
