Hmm well, i guess there is that.

Here i just thought it was greedy brats and the usual market manipulators at work again.

Also i heard nothing of this new popularity going on.
I see the OP pointing out some market activity and since i don't watch coin prices i wouldn't have noticed unless he came here and told us.
So... i think you are all reading far too much into a shitcoin pump seen on Polo etc.

If you strike out you can always go download some porn from RarBG

There is more to it than spying guys.

For one thing many of us think Windows 7 looks nicer.
And stuff like a prompt to setup or log into an email to get on your OS ?
Uhmm no thanks.

My primary complaint has always been about the OS doing what i need and want from it.
I have 0 interest in Cortana.. start screen crap and gay little app's or being spied on or forced updates etc.
And the butt ugly UI  
EDIT: Start Menu advertising.

So what does that mean for me ?

It means i have far faaaar more modding to do with a fresh install of Windows 10.
Unlike most of you that are served garbage and like it.. as is.

First thing i do when i install windows 7 is mod a ton of crap from services to UI elements.
I add my own custom hacks such as an XP style quick launch and custom theme stuff.
So for windows 10 it means there is less customization options and far more work to do
..to get it how I want it ..the end user who is stuck using it !

I hear fanboys say it's great.. yeah, for YOU !
And out of box.
I don't do OOB ..no thanks.
I also don't want to bend over backwards undoing a huge pile of crap they did that to me was a regression and not an upgrade or improvement.

MS has had a long track record of fumbling around changing things radically pissing people off.
I got banned back when the Win8 start menu drama was going down on Neowin.net..
I posted stuff like this comment and i was perma-banned for "Trolling"
I heard all the users chant it's not coming back so shut up.. then it came back ROFL  
Bit late i was banned as a troll.
If i was a troll then why did they put it back ?

Customer is always right ?
MS does what ever it wants and many of you defending Win 10 now will be bitching about MS in years about how they changed the stuff they added now.
Seems to be a younger generation willing to accept non stop radical changes.. they seem to relish in it all.

I used to be a beta / alpha tester back in the day and after WIn7 i just couldn't do it anymore.
MS has little Millennial brat monkey's at the helm throwing shit at the wall hoping something will stick because they are slipping in popularity.
And fortunately for them there are contrarians and brats looking for a cause to fight for online.
A ready made group who are waiting for a cause to defend and fight for and WIN10 serves it to them.
The type of clueless little shits that want to be edgy and are are worried about what others think etc.
Kids should not be in charge of the direction and functionality of my OS.
I was using a computer before most of them were even born.

Why do i give two shits what little kids think of Windows ?
Where were you when Windows 95 came out ? In Diapers shitting your pants ?

Windows 10 is a continuation of the pandering to a specific demographic.
Rather than adding customization they are hard at work stripping it away.
The days of Windows being a focus to the modders and overclockers etc from the early 2000's are long gone.
Back in the day WE were the demographic.. now companies want to snag the large crowd of less intelligent users for larger profits which creates pandering for money.

Plenty of people see what i see too... here is a random comment from someone.

BTCe did in late 2013 and on my second transfer cashing out i got nailed hard.
a 2.5 month long investigation was started and they put me through hell.
I have heard since mid 2013 roughly that it's a matter of doing it and hoping you don't get caught.
Because users do show up and say they are not caught yet.. assuming it's fine then.

A LOT of people do it and you do not hear about the losers.
I dealt with traders here using this forum to run a Paypal conversion business.
One of them admitted to me he head been caught many times before and all he does is make new accounts and abandon his account funds.
I negged him for that and the rest of the story and he didn't like that one bit.
Problem was he admitted it all and knew damn well what he was doing was deceitful.
hence the untrustworthy rating.

What you think BTCe had no idea it was a problem when i did it way back ?
They have to have an account to send to me right ?
How many had they gone through ?

Have a look at the market section here.. half the forum is doing it.
A user posted their email from Paypal long before i got mine.. word for word.
So what ?
Well, when i had my account locked my transfers were frozen.
in that other guys case he simply abandoned his money.. who's ? his ? yours ?

..get it yet ?

it blows my bloody mind how staff permit the activity here knowing it is a clear TOS violation.
AND how it will of course result in a lot of user getting ripped off.
AND no not just from the sticky theymos posted about charge-backs (the least of your worries)

No idea if VISA allows crypto stuff.. i bet they frown on it if i had to guess.

So much innovation  

Either it's pointless crap that amounts to a coin gimmick.. or worse..
A pointless "one day" gimmick.. that will one day be created (once you pay enough ICO funds)
Then the one day after that it will get mass world wide adoption of course.
Like what ?
I dunno how about a Block Chain Blogging platform called Steem or Internet chain thingy like BlockNET ?

All those that make coins pander to greedy brats with the attention span of a sack of rocks.
And worse is the "long con" bag hodlers like that reject from Ethereum named Minecache.
The manic kool-aid drinker crowd (see Monero shill's for more examples)

Reminds me of Prime Coin.
Yup a coin that did something scientifically useful (to some extent)
Of course there was a surge for all the early adopters to get on the train.
Then they got bored when the process meant profits died down.. then the dumping occurred.

I see a tornado at work.. a system that will work how it works.
If anything i'd like to see us focus on currencies.. not alternative uses for block-chain tokens things.

And an ugly UI with a lame gimmick "APP's" stuck on the desktop.
With forced updates and telemetry etc...

I will not use any MS product ever again.
Everything they do or get involved with is horrible bullshit.

I know some people who use Win 10 and they are idiots.
My Mom hates Windows 10..
she bought a PC with it and her words were "What the fuck is this shit ?"
She soon had Windows 7 installed by the man of the house. LOL

@OP
Yeah i heard this News recently too.

Make a day of it and take your hands out for a nice walk on the beach and maybe a picnic with some wine & cheese.

Later on you can put on some fancy gloves and dim the lights and put on some music and treat yourself 

Paypal and Crypto is against the PP TOS ..if they are reported they will get their account locked and their money and all transfers frozen and a massive investigation will be started.
I know i went through it myself..

So.. if they really are using PP on their exchange they are dumber than i thought.

Besides why would you go buy MLM coins ? 

..financial toy to rip off people ?

uhmmm ? LOL

Dino there is no reason we can't work WITH the big bad evil authorities.
The notion Fiat is corrupt and this retarded bullshit is not is silly.

And i think the idea of a digital currency is not that crazy either.

You are good at spewing off a massive diversion though.
Monero ? Heard of it ? Care to comment on the topic title ?

I see what is.. the reality if you look around.
Poloniex taking picture ID so traders can potentially get ratted out to the Fed's.
Like this forum or any other service within arms reach of the US govt.
theymos and his opinion do not trump law.
If they show up at his doors and say either you play ball or you are going to Guantanamo Bay what do think he will say about handing over a users info here ?
Coinbase ? Cryptsy ?
They all do it if they are complaint.. even Polo's old XMR based market exchange.
Which was rather odd to say the least they added dedicated markets for Monero years ago.

blah blah blah.. see ya in jail idiots.
Chant "Free Market" to the judge or when you are in the FBI hot seat.
Did Gavin say no when they requested he show up and answer questions ?
Nope.. he was more than willing to do what he was told.
Ever heard of him ? He used to be a guy on the foundation who got a yearly 1 million dollar salary.

So what is the big rise of Monero about ?
Where to now guys ? What is your big plans ?

EDIT:

I would prefer we had no law on the web at all but it's a dream that is not realistic.
We can't ACT like that is how it is NOW !

I would rather have all laws thrown out and have the web as the wild west.
But once i see the need to interact with FIAT as a necessity i see big problems.
There is a link to FIAT and that is the source of problems.
..that *IS* reality guys.

You don't get to pretend your not connected or lie and say we don't need connections.

People you have a problem brewing here i have warned you all about loudly since 2013.
You are not listening and playing games for ROI's for as long as you can get away with it.
Rather than dealing with things like you SHOULD be.

I told you all reg's are coming and you all said oh they can't do anything laughing.
Wrong.. i was right look around !

WOW holy crap do i see this same topic re-posted pretty much daily.
And none of you point that out and carry on flogging your ICO coin'z 

Do you all like posting and answering the same question here 24/7 year after year ?

..seems like it.

Ya know.. i'd kinda rather just, turn off my computer than come here and deal with this.
Or maybe go to the Off-Topic section and read the genius posts by account farming spammers.

You people are insufferable.
I think it's official now.. i really hate the internet. 

You win ..that was the correct answer.  

Your GF has your prize though (not me)
Have fun though, i don't think i have had Lasagna in ages and boy do i hate Mondays !

I can just picture it now.. the song "Raining Blood" blasting away and two sweaty people rolling around in pasta !

Here is one of the other cards i seen earlier when i google'd for this topic before..



Yup.. that would be Tom Araya when he was younger from Slayer (if you all didn't know)
I didn't make it ..i could do better LOL

PS:
Noobs .."Raining Blood" is an old famous Slayer song.

Jeez i can't count how many times i have been over this with you.

Your preaching to the choir.. i have been a P2P supporter since around 2000.
And a pirate going back to the 80's playing "stolen" Choplifter etc on jumbo floppies.

You are trapped in your own personal idealism that the world does not share.
I am all for bending rules or being a rebel but you are being unrealistic and your age is showing.
I have heard far faaaar too much silly crypto rabble over the years chanting all kinds of silly ass stupid rhetoric.
I heard it all and LOTS !

- They can't stop us.
- We don't need FIAT or connections to it.
- They can't regulate our coins or put laws on them.

WRONG ..they already did, wake up !

I will admit best i can tell ANON coins have offered the only crypto currency innovation yet.
All the other shit is gimmick tokens for profit bullshit that has no real need or future.
But the problem is if your aim and big goal for a bright future is being added to Dark Markets
..then your fucked !
Trust me that won't end well.

And who the hell said crypto currencies were fully intended to "Stick it the man" ?
I think that is an exaggeration and silly childish little angle you are pushing for your own agendas.
You need a battle to fight so you created one.. it's what kids do best on the internet.
Who the hell says crypto has to be about fighting the police and govt's around the world ?
So what if FIAT has problems ? What the fuck does that have to do with it ?

Show me the quotes from Satoshi and other first day guys where they outlined their manifesto for world domination to fight the govt and topple fiat and abolish all law and create a greedy corrupt money grubbing scam scene for profits.

Because that is where your cute little idealism is born from.. profits.
Don't bullshit me with chanting Free Market like you are all philosophers and are being altruistic with your speeches.
You are shit talkers making pitiful excuses so you can keep making money off of THOUSANDS OF shitcoins

..in a lawless scam ridden scene.

Monero cheerleaders are often kids.. that know fuck all about life.
Dreamers..
Grow up kids.
Get realistic and look around.. your anti-law agenda already failed.

So what now ?

THE RISE AND RISE OF MONERO ? To what ? ...from where ?
(if you all mean price wise then this bullshit should be moved to Speculation)

@Joint
If your ICO was regulated like a traditional IPO etc ..you would get far more "investors"
Or would you ?
Do teens with a desire for a token on Polo asking for a million via kickstarter always get funded on the New York Stock Exchange ?
Get it ?

Laws are created to address the abusers.. such as teens with no experience who want a "me too coin"
Or posting fake company IPO's on the stock exchange then using illegal trade tactics to manipulate it for profit.

No wonder you all like ICO's and no Laws here

BlockNET got 1 million in Bitcoin for a posting a jpeg in the ANN section.
What's not to like ?
I dunno maybe go ask the "investors" asking why nothing happened a year later ?

This has all devolved into a silly greedy scammy little joke.
You all CHOOSE to see it as wonderful.... because it puts money on your pocket.
That is like saying robbing banks is great.. i need to get paid.
You all know this crap is not fair and heavily exploited.. by the others of course ..not me and *MY* coin.

I am done i will never buy an ICO coin.
This scene is boring and just gets worse in time.
I've had about enough and can only envision getting more bored and wandering off like so many before me.
Have fun guys and good luck you are going to need it.

I can't really support 90% of the Altcoin scene anymore.. it's a joke.
And the only people laughing are the guys making ICO's etc on their way to the bank.
Losing money is not fun.  
..which would be the majority (basic math)

Exchanges ? Which ones ? govt compliant ones ?
I love how you all skipped over that key point.

On the hoody they printed secure, untraceable etc.
Uhmmm compliant exchanges follow AML laws so.. uhh ?

You all catching on yet ?

And what exactly are you all clinging to with your future with Monero ?
What exactly is it that is going to get it from where it is now to a world wide USED currency ?
Dark Market adoption ?
Are you all REALLY actually looking ahead or just short term at your wallets ?

Maybe a safer bet would be to hitch a ride on the HaleBop Comet next time it passes ?
I hear they are passing out robes and Nike shoes and stirring the Kool-Aid as we speak..
"Heavens Gate" Anon Coin ..to the moon !

@rocky
Show me your balls  

I didn't see you guys calling Bruno gay when he posted pictures of himself wearing a pink tutu prancing around like a ballerina.

And how many of you here WORK ? 3% ?
At least crypto'z is not my "job"  

Hey i can appreciate the male form even if i am straight (secure enough with my masculinity)
I found the picture funny and thought you all would too.
And trust me i have a LOT of pictures of you all.

PS:
I am Dutch so i guess i am a Dutch "Native" Indian ?
And my taxes are paid last i checked. (VOD paid them last i heard)

PPS:
Jackpotcoin to the MOON !
I still have no idea who made that damn coin and i STILL have mine after it got delisted.
All i know is you guys don't like serious then say "Have fun" then when we do you still bitch.

(Vlad i hope will not be offended by me re-posting the picture Gleb Gamow already posted here)

I have "cited sources" so much that mod's sometimes delete them.
Such as the Coindesk we need clone coins news topic. (is everything about Monero ?)
It gets tiring playing with back stabbing little Monero assholes who run around here creating piles of accounts to chant "lies" over & over then having to re-type out a long winded explanation that you all say is too long and you don't want to read.

My trust rating says it all.. Monero assholes negged me claiming "Lies"

Your citation

[NEWS] Monero David Latapie French Police Fraud [updated]

They ruined my rating over that topic.. claiming i "lied"
And since i didn't that means it is more lies from them.. to go along with all the other trolling bullshit they pulled for years.

They have skeletons in their closet and i have said before it will come out eventually.
Their pattern of behavior will catch up with them all i can guarantee it.

Which is what this is about.. Monero assholes trashing on my rep hoping i will leave.
So i will stop bringing up the bullshit they pulled before.

I would urge users to look at the history of the Monero cult.
See for yourself.

Bottom Line:
If the Monero Cult guys pulled all their shit with some other coin you would all be screaming scam.
Why do the Monero assholes get a free pass ?

Doge coin ? yeah..
I was just pointing out the very real history of Litecoin.

Doge was created as a joke the dev said word for word before he abandoned it publicly.
Litecoin was a response to people exploiting Bitcoin with mining.
For a while it succeeded in this goal with SCRYPT.

No idea why you all love to talk shit so much about Litecoin.
Especially when you know so little about it.

It should be thanked as the project and the related miner coders contributed plenty.
I doubt you would have had any Doge coin or the other 1,000 scrypt clone shad it not been for LTC.
And it's point.. the implementation of stuff that can't get done on Bitcoin. (Such as changing the BTC hashing ALGO)

Some markets are regulated by law protecting investors.
Some markets are for "currencies"
Some markets are for currencies actively being used as such.
Some markets are for "one day" ICO scheme "coins".
Some markets are outright scammy bullshit.

You forgot about WHY Litecoin was created in the first place.

They changed the algo to stop mining exploitation and it did work.. for a while.
Don't forget when LTC came out it was not like how it is now.. SCAMMY.
back then there was not 1,000 ICO's a month coming out supported by greedy selfish ADD kidiot Investards flocking here.

Wanna bash a coin ? Then line up assholes to rag on Doge Coin the real shit coin clone.

If they wanted to ICO the first coin(s) that came out they could have people.
And you all should start doing your history before talking shit.

So..
If you think about it.. the very spirit of Litecoin was to implement shit BTC guys wouldn't.

Vlad got Triggered on his IXcoin topic and went full on Superman with Bruno !

Shit is on now !
