As Far as Ethics go, that is where I lean conservative (not politically, but in personal life) If you read enough source documents from the early American years, you will find that the "Founding Fathers" believed very strongly that we must have a moral society based on a belief in a God that will judge their actions.

Now we don't have so much of that anymore, people want to say they are religious, but don't actually believe their own Holy Book really is the truth... that leaves people to have to split their social and religious views into a contradictory position (see Bill O'Rielly and his book "Killing Jesus")

I wonder how people can say that they don't believe the book of Genesis is a lie, can still say that Evolution happened, but since that seems to be the majority opinion, obviously they are Ok with that glaring contradiction, or can read the Old Testament and then claim that God wouldn't discriminate.

It's kinda like saying you are a buddhist/christian

Anyhow, personally, I believe in an All-Powerful God who will judge everyone, has His own opinions (what I call Righteousness) and expectations of us. I may not know a whole big bunch of technical facts about God, but I do know that.

So, that means I have to keep in touch with what He wants for me, and I think others should as well (I honestly wouldn't want the most powerful being in the Universe being mad at you either)

But, if you just decided that there is no God, then there are no standard, and no system of government can provide freedom or equality, because it will simply go back to being wholly about "looking out for #1" and therefore without political power or wealth to purchase it, your gonna get shafted.

Here's a politics poll I can get along with  Grin

Now, who wants to explain the difference between Libertarian and Liberal?

Ok, well, many years ago, Liberal was synonymous with what Libertarians believe now, which is personal, social freedom, extremely low taxation, shackles on the government with most things out-of-bounds for them, only specific things were allowed to be in their purview, moral questions were left up to citizens. Libertarians believe that with less law, everyone is better off, because we can provide for our community, family, friends, even the world, as long as the government just doesn't get in the way.

Nowadays (at least in the US) Liberal now means Progressive: the earmarks of which are non-enforcement of social or religious based laws (not repeal thereof) anti-capitalist stances such as heavy taxation or regulation of the rich, every manner and scope of government programmes such as; food for the poor, cell phones for the poor, pensions for those in the public service,  reduced price housing for the poor , lower electricity prices for the poor, better loan rates for the poor (or "disadvantaged")
As well as forced unionization, or any program that increases the scope, power or enforcement mechanism of the state, increased regulation of any business, endeavor, or anything really.

So: If a person was up on trial for dealing marijuana:
 A Liberal would say that the judge should let him off, or remand him to a government sponsored detox facility.
 A Libertarian would say, This is wrong, there is no reason that he should be on trial in the first place, we need to allow people to make out own choices of what to put in our body.

Basically the Liberal is very similar to a Marxist be default, although many of them would disagree until they read Marx.
A Libertarian would generally agree with Ayn Rand.

The value is in the product. The product has the bones of something worth a good amount to money, just a little more work on the UI side and it will easily sell for $35-$50 Plus of course the fact that it isn't being marketed and people getting into BTC are looking for a bot and having a hard time finding them.
244  Economy / Digital goods / Bot4Bits.com Domain name and btc-e bot for sale on: January 11, 2014, 05:13:43 PM
I got a bot and use it surrently,  same one selling on ebay for about $20 by some guy without a good hold on the english language.

The bot is open source and could use a little better explanation and gui setup, but it works quite well, has a timeout, you choose the spread between the buy and sell, it's pretty rock solid. I was going to resell this on my own for about $5 apiece and make some decent cash, but ... make offer in BTC or paypal or escrow if fine.

Had to resort to trolling them on twitter, but they finally fixed the issue and it showed up.

Communist/Fascist/Totalitarian.

Good to know. You have a website that pools bitcoins and are a totalitarian. I know what I would do with that website. Avoid it.
248  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Official Anoncoin chat thread (including history) on: January 10, 2014, 10:54:49 PM
Still not showing up.

I would recommend not using cryptsy for ANC deposits for the time being, they are working on the backend right now, no idea if this issue is related to it or not.

Has anyone else had a deposit show up on cryptsy within the last few hours?

Please feel free to debunk this theory. " Roll Eyes" is not what I consider to be a valid argument.

Sent some ANC there hours ago, still not showing @ cryptsy.

can't suss the "Not yet redeemed" Also, can't tell how many confirmations with the blockchain (unless I am looking in the wrong place)

Not sure if it is normal for 2 hour transactions, it was very fast getting it from cryptsy to the site I was trading on....

Help?

I was thinking that perhaps it isn't that hard to figure out who satoshi is, I started trying to figure it out by using the second to last post by Satoshi. It said that wikileaks kicked the hornets nest and they were coming for us. One more post and he goes silent.

So.. who would have A. that view. and B. the ability to code and the focus on cryptography and C. was silent for the same periods of time.

I have come up with 1 name so far. Please debunk.

Adrian Lamo Hacker, in fact the guy who turned Manning in.

If you wanted to make sure you were not taken in yourself and the FED came to you for help with Wikileaks with the possible unsaid threat that they might go after all the bitcoin people for money laundering child porn, etc etc... It might make sense to help the FED rather than try to fight them.

Just in case the fed is watching. Hi. And I am not making a claim here, just wanting other people with more resources to help me figure it out.

Anoncoin being pumped now.
253  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Recycling of 'lost' bitcoins on: January 10, 2014, 04:24:17 PM
On the lost BTC issue, I wonder how much is actually lost forever (forgotten keys, mistyped sent coins) I would be willing to bet that the lost coins alone should make the bitcoin price rise over time, since you can't capture them. I wouldn't doubt that at some point in the future cold storage bitcoins can be recaptured using the 51% rule, but probably not for several years when scarcity becomes a huge issue.

Interesting.... I am finding that on here a lot of people have libertarian leanings personally, but want things that only huge government can provide (free healthcare, government pay for the poors)

Who calls themselves libertarian but want free healthcare and government to pay the poor? Example please.

No, they won't claim Libertarianism, usually, they claim some sort of socialist/anarchist views, but they want to be able to smoke dope all they want without consequences and be able to gamble online and have free exchange. their actions and wishes lean Libertarian, but their political views are in absolute contrast with their wishes.

I am always trying to get my crypto to reproduce. trading, investing, etc. So far so good, easy to lose a bunch (done that too a few times)

Sounds like a good value, but then, aren't all alt-coins going to have to crash if people keep making new ones every day?
