Marijuana is harmless and illegal. Do you expect them to make a hallucinogen which can be overdosed on legal?
With the authoritarian direction society is taking, I'm surprised they're slowly making pot legal.

I've always wondered if faucets were worth any time at all. Apparently they really aren't. But I think for anyone looking to have some fun doing a couple of rolls here and there it's not a bad way to pass the time. But by doing that I guess you wouldn't be doing anything productive at all. I wish Duolingo had Japanese, I need to learn some before heading there in the summer.
Memrise is similar and has Japanese. Used it for a while, but I got bored with it just like I did with Japanese Rosetta Stone and German Duolingo. Flash cards and textbooks are better IMO. |

Why should it be secret?
Shouldn't we have our secrets? What good are secrets? |

Maybe they are still trying to find out the forum flaws?
Or perhaps they're prioritizing other things forum related, like reworking the signature rules and such? But what's wrong with signatures at the moment? who told you about the signature issue? If I'm asking what the issue is, what makes you think someone told me about the alleged issue? |

You didn't expect this, did you?  Did you expect a game about the legend of Dread Pirate Roberts and Silk Road? I expected a few half-assed movies uploaded by the creator to The Pirate Bay, but this accomplishes the same thing I guess. |

There are about a million words in English. Assuming my math is right, here's the number of passwords for x words:
1: 1000000 possibilities
2: 1000000000000
3: 1000000000000000000
4: 1000000000000000000000000
5: 1000000000000000000000000000000
vs a 14 character password of letters, numbers, and common symbols: 67822307284900000000000000
so as long as you've got a good list of words to randomly pick from, you need 5 words to beat the security of a typical password. With real word lists, however, I imagine it being closer to 7 or 8 words.

How are there so many "no"s? Did I not understand the question?
If someone doesn't invest in Bitcoin because they don't understand it, they'll be missing out.
If someone does invest in Bitcoin when they don't understand it, unless they've got an honest friend to help them securely set up an encrypted paper wallet, they'll likely have their coins stolen.

Why can't I change my avatar?
because the forums were hacked, but who hacked them? But why haven't they secured and reenabled avatars yet? |

The blockchain is already 15 GiB. Bitcoin can't replace credit cards if we don't solve this problem.
What are you, living in 1995? 15 GB is not large. Any one of my 60 games on Steam are that size or bigger. But it was about 2GB a year ago. At this rate, it will require a NAS with several dozen 4TB hard drives in RAID by the end of 2016. |

How the world's governments can get control over the network bitcoin. On then FAQ page of https://bitcoin.org/en/faq#can-bitcoin-be-regulated: Can Bitcoin be regulated?
The Bitcoin protocol itself cannot be modified without the cooperation of nearly all its users, who choose what software they use. Attempting to assign special rights to a local authority in the rules of the global Bitcoin network is not a practical possibility. Any rich organization could choose to invest in mining hardware to control half of the computing power of the network and become able to block or reverse recent transactions. However, there is no guarantee that they could retain this power since this requires to invest as much than all other miners in the world.
It is however possible to regulate the use of Bitcoin in a similar way to any other instrument. Just like the dollar, Bitcoin can be used for a wide variety of purposes, some of which can be considered legitimate or not as per each jurisdiction's laws. In this regard, Bitcoin is no different than any other tool or resource and can be subjected to different regulations in each country. Bitcoin use could also be made difficult by restrictive regulations, in which case it is hard to determine what percentage of users would keep using the technology. A government that chooses to ban Bitcoin would prevent domestic businesses and markets from developing, shifting innovation to other countries. The challenge for regulators, as always, is to develop efficient solutions while not impairing the growth of new emerging markets and businesses.
Can world governments control bitcoin? it's possible: 1) Legalize bitcoins on the following criteria: - mined after the commencement of the special act (for example after 01.07.2014) - Mined using accredited software (legal miner software). - Accredited miner software accepts only those transactions that occur between legal addresses. - The legal address (or wallet) - the address is registered in the global registry (or the national registry). 2) Legal bitcoins become more popular than illegal bitcoins 3) When legal miners there will be more than 51% - illegal miner software will reject all previous illegal transactions (transactions made after the special act) and will begin accepting only legal transactions 4) the world's governments get a full control of the network Bitcoin Do you like? Bitcoin is the all around best computational network in existence - fastest, and if I recall correctly, largest. It would take more than a hostile takeover of every supercomputer in the world to get 51%, and even so, there's not much they can do without forcing people at gunpoint to update their clients to a new "government approved" version. |

I really don't think so but you never know.
Heh It's always fun to look through old threads and see things we said |

Chuck Norris mines Bitcoin with mental math
Pfft, with his hashrate, it would be more efficient to crack private keys of addresses containing lots of coins. |

Man, I wish Bitcoin would fall to $300 so I can buy relatively cheap again. But I seriously doubt it. Don't see it falling below $500 unless there's an accidental fork or successful 51% attack or something major like that.

I'm not sure how it works over there, but here in 'Murica, the more you raise taxes on the rich, the quicker they start moving to Mexico (where there are no government services and the government still has the common sense not to try to milk every last nickel and dime out of the rich).

Oppressive, authoritarian governments like these thrive on control of the economy. Bitcoin gives control of the economy to the people.
