           To understand who/what lulzsec/gn0sis are/is you need to understand where they came from.  Everything
           originates from the *chan (4chan/711chan/etc.) culture.  This internet subculture is pretty much the
           dregs of the internet.  It's a culture built around the anonymity of the internet.  If your anonymous
           no one can find you.  No one can hurt you, so your invincable.  The problem with this idealogy, is it's
           on the internet.  The internet by definition is not anonymous.  Computers have to have attribution.
           If you trace something back far enough you can find its origins.  So let's give a brief event timeline
           on how these groups got together:

              1.  Anonymous rises up from 4chan against CoS.
              2.  Anonymous starts DDoSing stuff.
              3.  Various lower level hacking groups get involved.
              4.  Anonymous stagnates for a while.
              5.  Uprisings in the world Attract Anonymous.
              6.  ProjectPM Looser Barrett Brown becomes mouth piece of Anon.
              7.  Anonymous shifts focus toward "Worldy" Affairs.
              8.  Aaron Barr desides he's tired of his job and targets Anon.
              9.  gn0sis (Uncommon) comes out of no where and releases the Gawker data.
              10. gn0sis teams up with anon hackers with all the OP<INSERT SOMETHING HERE> crap.
              11. gn0sis (nigg, eekdacat, uncommon, kayla, lauralie) and sabu (from OP Anon shit) hack HBGary.
              12. This is where Topiary comes in.  They all form lulzsec to be "hacktivists".
              13. Lulzsec (now a mix of gn0sis and opanon people) hack SONY and other stuff.

           The problem with Lulzsec/gn0sis's "Hacktivist" mantra is that they lack the skills to keep it going.
           As such after SONY they couldn't get into anything.  So they switched their focus to just releasing
           random crap that didn't mean anything.  Then they started running out of things they could hack. So
           they put out requests for people to join them.  That got them a few hits, and now they've switched
           their gears again to be "ANTI-SEC".  Whether or not this was an attempt at bring other groups out of
           the shadows (el8, h0no, zf0, etc), you can only speculate.  But as of this writing: 6/24/2011 Sabu
           and Topiary are the only two people updating the twitter and releasing shit.  Kayla is MIA.  The
           gn0sis kids are gone in hiding somewhere. 

           From what we've seen these lulzsec/gn0sis kids aren't really that good at hacking.  They troll the internet
           and search for sqlinjection vulnerabilities as well as Remote File Include/Local File Include bugs.  Once
           found they try to download databases or pull down usernames and passwords.  Their releases have nothing
           to do with their goals or their lulz.  It's purely based on whatever they find with their "google hacking"
           queries and then release it. 

           What's funny to us is that these kids are all "Anti-Sec" yet by releasing their hacks they are forcing these
           companies to have to hire security professionals which keeps the Security Industry that they are trying to
           expose and shut down, in business.  I guess they will realise that later in life when they get out of skid
           school.

           So we've been tracking and infiltrating these kids since the gawker hack.  We have the D0x (as they call it)
           on everyone except Sabu and Kayla.  First we'll go with the kid who did the gawker hack: Uncommon.

I was going to Photoshop a chart with a pound of feathers and a pound of rocks but I'm too tired.

DAMN ANONYMITY! 

Honestly just one of the mods has to buy it from you though and your user name is tied to the invite (I am honestly warning you, not like demonoid is exclusive file heaven).

I have considered putting a What.CD or Waffles invite up, but it's hard to price that out, I would want to make sure the person also has a high ratio.

Oh yeah, it's not 17.5 o clock, I should uninstall that shit.

Now checking out Bitcoin Ticker.

Also, I like the tool you made function wise.  Would you allow the ability for people to make skins?

Does not seem wise.  Checked their forums, I do not believe this goes with their rules, you are compromising your own account.

But whatever.

Found a decent seeming one http://www.onverify.com/

reddit is not your place to experiment with, that was dumb.

This sounds more interesting the more it gets talked about lol.  Found this

"This series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy." -- Adam Curtis


From Wikipedia:
Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, changed the perception of the human mind and its workings profoundly. His influence on the 20th century is widely regarded as massive. The documentary describes the impact of Freud's theories on the perception of the human mind, and the ways public relations agencies and politicians have used this during the last 100 years for their "engineering of consent".

Among the main characters are Freud himself and his nephew Edward Bernays, who was the first to use psychological techniques in advertising. He is often seen as the "father of the public relations industry". Freud's daughter Anna Freud, a pioneer of child psychology, is mentioned in the second part, as well as Wilhelm Reich, one of the main opponents of Freud's theories.

Along these general themes, The Century of the Self asks deeper questions about the roots and methods of modern consumerism, representative democracy and its implications. It also questions the modern way we see ourselves, the attitude to fashion and superficiality.

I think enough regulars browse the Newbie forums.  If anything, you'd find people like me, who just get bored and like to see what is going on in that side.  I guess in the end alliances and what not could form lol, but it is a decent idea for now (that seems like it might be complicated to implement).

You are awesome.

The site is looking tight, but yes empty as you said it would be, just a good simple wordpress set up that already puts your site a million times further ahead than most the other start up sites I see.  I guess the only thing I would say is abuse the categories since you will be so focused on specific goods.  Have a category for each company maybe?  I'm not sure the full mining market and what they go for, so I guess not knowing the rest of all that, looking good.  Good luck.

Edit: Maybe take out wordpress text.  Also look into affiliates within the community here.  I am guessing with e-commerce linking directly to related things is not as nice as a blog would be, but look toward blogs to link exchange maybe.  Don't make referral links so dominant if you are going to have them as your main links.   Maybe a 'we accept bitcoins' logo or something (they have those premade graphics on bitcoin.it)

+1 rule that only people outside the Newbie forum would be able to +1.  Make it enough numbers where you know members that have been around a while voted them up.

Also, have people accounted for, the +1 vote is not anonymous, it shows on both peoples profiles.

Meh, this sounds like a lot of bs editing of whatever forum script they use.

Wow, I like this idea a lot.  Except I am not sure how it fully works, so is it possible to set it, where any user can +1 another user on their profile page.  Every user would require X amount of +1's to get out of the Newbie forum.   And even a far lesser amount to get to post a topic, etc.

lol, care to share a bad experience with some merchants/customers?

I see a jump in the near future, but that will pop and fizzle down to a steady 20 to 30 per Coin.  My charting is boring, but that is because I see realistic sways in the price of btc until security is beefed up.  Unexpected events I always see as swaying the price higher, even if it seems as though there is bad news out there, most people tend to stick with the coin I've noticed, with good reason.
