Sub This was a much needed feature, I was getting sick of bulanula's scammer tag thread popping up all the time. Yeah, so no more senbonzakura's "hmm" either? Or subs all over the place? Damn, i will miss those ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) hmm I think the automated deletion should convert "hmm" as well as "sub", "subscribe", "subscribble", etc.

Cool, this was an excellent surprise. I've never used the notify feature before, and now I'll never need to again ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

It will be a market regulated by strictly market consumers i.e. a free market. I already told you free doesn't mean anything goes. Free means no rulers imposing arbitrary rules through violence.
If chodpaba's hypothesis of collusion is correct, there will be arbitrary rules imposed, through the threat of financial ruin.

sub
I've never subbed any topic before, and felt like this would be a perfect one to test what would happened if I were to really sub to a thread. Please feel free to enlighten me as to what actually happens when you sub a thread/topic.
Thanks, in advance.

Doesn't work like that. You should type just the word "sub" and then, before you click "POST", press ALT+F4. Then, a pop-up will come up when someone reply... Remember to click ALT+SPACE then C before ALT+F4.

I think BitStamp is a good choice for traders in Europe. For those in the US, I think BitFloor is a better option. The reason is how easy or difficult it is to send fiat currency to these exchanges. BitStamp offer SEPA for both deposits and withdrawals. BitFloor offers ING Direct P2P and PopMoney for deposits and ACH transfers for withdrawals.
I just wish Bitfloor had more volume...! Chicken... meet egg. Chicken, egg, meet bootstrap. Now fly! Chickens don't have the proper physiology to fly more than a few feet. They need to fly by "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps"... its the joke from which the term "bootstrap" as a verb originates. Still, your proposing a very unsatisfactory trajectory for BitFloor if you you want to fly like a chicken. It is a very satisfactory trajectory for Bit Floor.

I guess SgtSpike wants proof, of whatever little amount. This means the "sign with address" feature is useful, I hope.
Message: I, dree12, to the extent of the validity of this signature, confirm that the address 14p87GdersPoGBcB9cjXcQbJ1GUTfmmPMk, on 2012-06-14T00:40, is under my control.

That is why, after bitcoinica.com refunds me in FULL If bitcoinica.com refends Maria her 0.28007 $, she will be obligated to pay these debts.

A tax on consumption (sales tax) is quite interesting in theory at least especially in our resource limited world... and there is a good argument that it is unjust to force people to move.
But perhaps property tax encourages optimal use of land. For example, if you commute an hour+ to a city, think of all the neighborhoods you are passing and all the retired people, etc living in them (I can't say I really know the stats). But if they moved away you'd be able to move closer in for less $. Across the nation this would translate into a large efficiency improvement. So some encouragement to take those savings and move to where the living is cheaper is not a bad thing...
I believe that a sales tax, although difficult to enfore, reduces the trend of consumption and waste by pricing items higher. A property tax is not based on land, but rather the "property value", something difficult to define. I support this new tax system. If a property tax encourages people to move, it should tax land area, not "property value".

dree12, the joint: No offence, but both of you, in this case, are being simply ridiculous and really do not deserve any more detailed response.
Au contraire. Let us establish that there is little reason to assume manipulation by the major exchanges or major players on them, so we can assume that this price is, in fact, the price most people are willing to buy/sell at (as I argued previously, if you have a different price, I would be glad to exploit it). For each buyer, there is a seller. This means that for every 5.7 $ USD of people gaining an interest in the value of bitcoin, there is also 1 BTC of people losing an interest in the value of bitcoin (equivalent to gaining an interest in the value of USD). Clearly, if you believe that the fair market value should be in the double digits, as a rational actor you will have gained as much interest in BTC as you would be willing to risk. Someone must have sold these bitcoins to you; this person is evidently acting to lose interest in BTC. The effect I outline is your claim of people disagreeing with your fair value as ridiculous. It would suffice to state that this statement would apply to half the volume of BTCUSD trades, the selling side. And if an argument states that all these people are ridiculous, it follows that the argument is likely ridiculous.

Also, explain gravity. Elaborate on your answer.
This. I asked a physicist on these forums this before and all I got was a bunch of trolling about how I was an idiot. I'm not sure what you mean by "explaining gravity", since we still do not really know how it arises. We have excellent models for it (read: general relativity), but it's origin is still one of the big unknowns out there. Thank you. That's what I believed to be true, but I've been ridiculed on several occasions by people who don't think past "duh, it's gravity". We don't know how it arises, but we can observe and predict its effects. Its actually crazy when you think about it. There are parts of our model for gravity that don't quite add up. For example, the stars in galaxies are moving too fast to be held in by what is our model of gravity, requiring the postulation of dark matter-- but dark matter has never actually been observed and we have no idea what it could be-- only that it has gravitational mass. I have a theory that gravity isn't constant given mass, but I don't know enough physics to be taken seriously by anyone. Math Nerd
Honestly, this is enough to at least be coherent with your theory. Physics is math in the real world, so it's unlikely the theory would "work", but still, explain anyways. I'd be very interested in reading this mass-independent factor.

I can't believe sometimes how the forum promotes a free market, yet yells about what the fair market value of bitcoin is. The fair market value is what people are willing to buy it for or what people are willing to sell it for, which is at the moment $5.7. If you disagree, name your fair market value and I will buy/sell from/to you at that value.
