You could also try incognito browsing. It's like starting a new session every time, no personalised results.
I have tried to use incognito browser (chrome and firefox) and it gives me always "the times 03/jan/2009 chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks". Maybe I should stop to use google and find another 'motor' like duckduckgo. |

I didn't know there was actually chatter about him being Satoshi an year back . Founds a couple videos this morning too about speculation about him being Satoshi. Also seems a lot of the people have been talking about the similarity in writing styles in that thread as well. Don't see why did this become a big news just today then. Satoshi Namaoto used a lot of styles when he posted here in the forum, so it is near impossible to determine a real "style". Another poor guy Does it really matter who invented fire  To be clear, are you referencing the guy who truly invented it, or simply published the white paper on the P2P torch-passing scheme, forgetting to credit the earliest known passing dude in the footnote references who was likely at most BBQ sabretooth outings together? I'd like to point out in the white paper. Satoshi refers to "himself" as "we". That point is not important. Most everybody does the same thing when it comes to tech papers, et al. The same true when one starts a website solo but comes across as more than one person are behind the scenes. It's a common practice. We it is to be considered (maybe) also like a form of respect, not the "we" of majority (more than one person). However it is also a common practice to make all the text more 'strong'. |

... When Theymos says it, its automatically gold. When some random guy says it, its shit. Oh BCT.
I think he created the trust system so he can include or remove any users from that 'list' without any sort of explanation. So yes, basically he is the admin of this forum and I know someone will say "you can always leave" That would be fine, except for the fact that he pretends like it is a decentralized distributed system and that he does not moderate trust. Not to mention the very idea of him sitting at the top of a centralized position of authority and dictating to everyone what they can and can't do is completely antithetical to the idea of Bitcoin itself. Why is it that he should have this extreme amount of authority and not even have to justify his actions?I do not know what he is pretending, but you are confusing the bitcoin concept with bitcointalk forum. It is impossible to apply all the bitcoin ideologies to this forum and it is near impossible to create and maintain a decentralized trust system. If someone has "an extreme amount of authority" why should he justify his actions? That doesn't make sense at all. If someone doesn't agree with the rules here I think he can leaves, or am I wrong? Try to argue is really hard (also if someone is saying the truth). |

Thanks for your clarification, so basically someone is trolling and it is really strange that those account posted in the Vod's thread (that it was locked) but who cares ... because everyone can make his own conclusion like me (and remember I am neutral).
Oh boy...  I hope this helps you understand. Pickissy is obviously my alt - I've made no efforts to hide the fact it was my alt. I made it to create a PICISI website exposing Armis' scams. Armis also made the alt account "PICISI". Having good morals, I can't continue to let himself pass his fake company as a charity, so I have decided to take action. I have generously given Armis a week to claim ownership of the phrase. He's been pretending it's his company for months, but of course it doesn't exist. So I'm going to form the legal company, trademark the name and make the website. Then Pickissy will be the only account authorized to speak for the official PICISI website. The website I make will be nothing like the website Armis continues to claim is coming - mine will be educational and won't be asking for donations. There will be no way a reasonable person will confuse my legit website with Armis' scam. He may launch a website later, but it will not be the official PICISI website. I originally made the account "Offical PICISI" and then the corrected spelling "Official PICISI" but I have decided not to use them because it can be argued I'm trying to impersonate the account "PICISI" and scam donations like Armis is doing. I may log onto them one more time to replace the important comments word for word with the new Pickissy account, just to avoid future confusion. I hope everyone understands I can't keep coming back here to defend against Armis' lies about me - "Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference." - Mark Twain Remember, he does not stand behind his words, so consider whatever he posts with a grain of salt. He has free reign to lie about me all he wants for the next week. We're giving you a week Armis - take a shit or get off the toilet! And no complaining later on when people (and Google) associate the phrase PICISI with an educational website - you have your chance to legitimize yourself now!  Peace people, I am outta here - we'll continue this in about a week. After all of the other nonsense this doesn't surprise me. It was not a "nice" and good way to resolve the situation, but everyone make his choices (and pay for them). Good luck with 'this battle', I am also waiting both sites. |

@redsn0w: What is the purpose of the Default Trust system? The Default Ignore system will, at least, make the forum readable again, by eliminating all the spam posted by account farmers & signature ad post bumpers, which currently constitute more than 90% of the content here.
But you will 'leave' the work to mods... if there will be a default ignore list what will be the work for the staff? If no one will read & report those posts? I do not think it constitute the 90% , but more than 95% of the whole content here in the forum. This is why the mods exist, to delete and ban the users (and this function is useless). My Default Ignore list will reduce the staff's workload? You feel that's a bad thing? The purpose the defaultTrust system /list is to help the newbie users (I have copied this concept written by someone else).
As is the purpose of my Default Ignore list. PS: now I think it is the time to reveal what is your main account.
I think it's not. I've seen the Default Trust in action. One would be crazy to post controversial ideas from his main account. ^does that help?
Yes, thanks. It is not bad for me but for the mods.... it will decentralized more the forum. If the majority of the users use a default ignore list, then it is not more necessary delete or ban an user (simple because you do not notice him). |

You are free to post your ignore list, as many other users have done. I'd appreciate if we had a way to massively ignore people by just copy-pasting their usernames in a field actually. Right now I'm ignoring certain trolls when I stumble upon them and sharing the created list is a bit hard.
But I don't think that ignore lists should be public (unless one would like to share his own publicly) for the simple reason that they can be personal.
You misunderstand my proposal. The Default Ignore List will be enabled by default when a new user joins this forum. Just like Default Trust is enabled, by default, when a new user joins the forum. By default. According to your logic, people could also just post their Trust Lists, yet that's not how the Default Trust works. We're here to protect new users. You don't want newbies to start with an empty trust list, do you? What is the purpose of the default ignore list? Protect some users to read bullshit? It is really an useless "request". C'mon, again : the ignore function is a personal thing the Trust is another thing. |

@redsn0w: My Default Ignore list will make what I'm currently doing irrelevant.
You, being on Level 2 Default Ignore, will quickly spot my shenanigans, and add my username to the Default Ignore List.
Problem solved.
It's easy to criticize, gentlemen, but which one of you is willing to propose a better solution?
Your proposal is not better than the actual system, however I am not saying the actual is 'good' but..... In any case the 'ignore' is a subjective and personal thing and a default ignore list is not really necessary (in my honest opinion). |

Gentlemen.
The amount of inane and misleading posts on this forum has become overwhelming. To assist new users in separating the wheat from the chaff, so to speak, I propose a solution: my Default Ignore List.
Implementation should be trivial: the code will be virtually identical to the Default Trust List. A new user, "Default Ignore," will be at the root of the list.
Level 1 ignore list will consist of myself and users I consider to be constructive and relevant.
Those a part of Level 1 will be able to both add to the default ignore list (the list of posters which won't be seen by default),
and add the names of those they deem worthy to Level 2 Default (who will also have the right to add to the list of posters to be ignored).
If a user is dissatisfied with the Default Ignore List (good God, why?!), he may unsubscribe from all or parts of said list through his account's profile settings.
Thus, in the manner of the Trust List, fully personalized lists may be created, etc., etc.
Thoughts, gentlemen?
Wouldn't that equate to censorship? I think it's a horrible idea. It would only lead to people trying to do multiple accounts if they were on this "ignore list". The best way is to use your own ignore, and if they are really bad report it. With OP only having 1 post, I wonder if this is a possible trolling attempt. Yes I think the same, it is not really a good idea and for the question of the newbie account maybe he is only trying to hid his main account (but I can't understand why he doesn't post from that other account). |

If Nick Szabo is 85 years of age at the time of this writing, then probably it wouldn't be him in that photo. Even if that photo is taken years or even a decade ago, still it wouldn't make any sense that it is in fact Nick Szabo. The man on the picture looks like around 30-40 years of age.
nick szabo is not 85...
Yes, who has said that he is 85 years old? Only due this post: Was employed at Lockheed, Link-Singer, and KLA (KLA was named after its founders, Ken Levy and Bob Anderson)
And Nick Szabo is 85 years old
His age and former employers are not included in the Wikipedia article. And there is no verified photo of him.
With any reference link? |

Nick Szabo is Satoshi. For real.
That's my opinion as well. But I doubt he is 85 years old. And I doubt Nick Szabo is his real name any more than Satoshi Nakamoto. Interesting the lack of any photos (I think I once saw a photo claimed to be of him, showing a mid-aged Caucasian male). His website mentions giving at least one public address about ten years ago. It would be interesting if anyone can claim to have met him from his speaking events and could shed any light. My recollection is that his name does not match up with any Washington univ. faculty. I have found this image of "Nick Szabo":  Reference: - https://twitter.com/AdrianChen/status/456922865992863744- https://archive.is/QNvySThat is Mark Kareles right? Or is my mind playing tricks on me today? I am not sure anymore..! Mark karpeles? Yes he seems him, but the one in the image is not karpeles but someone else who is named "Nick Szabo" but I also think that it is only a pseudonym like "Satoshi Nakamoto". |

What do you think about using symbols in titles?
It's quite rampant in the Gambling section. Do you think these should be allowed? I really jumbles up the page.
Anyways not sure if anyone is going to care because bitcointalk has quite a lax attitude towards advertisers.
What are your thoughts on symbols in titles?
Which symbols do you want to use? I am sure you can use all the unicode symbols : http://unicode-table.com/en/Have a look to the 'title' of my post. I do not think it is wrong or against the forum rules use those symbols. |

I remember that one time my teacher said << if we go past in the 1930 or 1950 we will see another Bible version, with more "things", words and concept. >> That makes me to thing "oh wait , there is something wrong here" and someone has removed some parts... and he completed with << I think the Quran is not modified, and if you 'catch' an old version of 100-200 years we will find the same words (except the "layout" and "graphic). >>
This is why my religion teacher said in one of his numerous lessons, ad from that time I started to think and think... and it is not so simple. I do not think it is a question of religion, the unique and important thing must be the respect " if I do not respect you, then I am worth< 0" and also the contrary.
The important thing in religion is salvation. Translations of the Bible into other languages are just that - translations. There are revisions of translations because the language changes, thereby making a revision necessary to match the current form of the language. The Bible does not change. But what is the 'native' language of the Bible? I have never find an exhaustive answer to this question. You are right, but sometimes in the translation it is lost the 'sense'. |

Another thread about Islam, amazing! We should rename this section in "Islam & Islam" ... 'Politics & Society' is not more appropriate. // just a little bit of sarcasm, why not.
I think Islam doesn't teach muslim to kill other people and no one of my friend or muslims that I know told me the contrary. So I think they can proclaim themselves muslim, but they are not muslims (in my point of view).
Most Muslims are probably reasonably peaceful, just like most other people. The writings of Islam leave a door open for people who are not peaceful. How do Islamic Writings do this? By suggesting that violence is okay at some times, and required at other times. There are many examples listed at http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm of violence listed in the Quran and elsewhere in Islamic writings. Here are several, translated: Quran (2:191-193) - "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing... but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)" (Translation is from the Noble Quran) The verse prior to this (190) refers to "fighting for the cause of Allah those who fight you" leading some to believe that the entire passage refers to a defensive war in which Muslims are defending their homes and families. The historical context of this passage is not defensive warfare, however, since Muhammad and his Muslims had just relocated to Medina and were not under attack by their Meccan adversaries. In fact, the verses urge offensive warfare, in that Muslims are to drive Meccans out of their own city (which they later did). Verse 190 thus means to fight those who offer resistance to Allah's rule (ie. Muslim conquest). The use of the word "persecution" by some Muslim translators is disingenuous (the actual Arabic words for persecution - "idtihad" - and oppression - a variation of "z-l-m" - do not appear in the verse). The word used instead, "fitna", can mean disbelief, or the disorder that results from unbelief or temptation. This is certainly what is meant in this context since the violence is explicitly commissioned "until religion is for Allah" - ie. unbelievers desist in their unbelief.
Quran (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things."
Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding merchant caravans for loot. Because of these things written in the Quran, there are times when Muslims who do not fight are going against Islam. Personally, since I am a rather peaceful person, I would not want to be Muslim, simply because there is that in the writings that seem to prescribe fighting and violence, and even hate. Check the link. There are many other verses with explanation. What if a muslim that he is a person like me and you don't agree with these sentence? I think he will be a better muslim, because it is really no sense kill someone else in name of a God... really insane. I should read that book ( Quran and also the Bible) in their 'native' language to understand more better the sense.. the arab one for the Quran and ... what is the native language of the Bible? The problem is: I do not know the Arab language  . No two people agree on everything. And the things that they DO agree on, they still have slightly different understandings of. The point is that the world is made up of people who don't agree. Yet we all should live in peace, being patient with each other. Regarding religion and peace, the written words of Islam suggest violence as well as peace. Most other religions writings suggest only peace. This can be a troublesome contradiction in the minds of knowledgeable Muslims. Which should they follow? Violence or peace? And when? Wrong. Even in Bible there is violence. "When" has been clearly mentioned in Qur'an and hadiths. They should only fight when they are being attacked or they have no other choice -- conditions apply. I remember that one time my teacher said << if we go past in the 1930 or 1950 we will see another Bible version, with more "things", words and concept. >> That makes me to thing "oh wait , there is something wrong here" and someone has removed some parts... and he completed with << I think the Quran is not modified, and if you 'catch' an old version of 100-200 years we will find the same words (except the "layout" and "graphic). >> This is why my religion teacher said in one of his numerous lessons, ad from that time I started to think and think... and it is not so simple.

redsn0w -- the two accounts that you provided links to not authorized to speak on behalf of PICISI. The account in the photo is the only PICISI account authorized to speak on behalf of PICISI Thanks for your clarification, so basically someone is trolling and it is really strange that those account posted in the Vod's thread (that it was locked) but who cares ... because everyone can make his own conclusion like me (and remember I am neutral). |

$200 is what the demand and supply agreed upon as a fair price right now.
The real question should be: Are we going to see prices over $1000 again without another willy bot?
No of course, the real second question... will you buy 1 bitcoin for 1'000 dollars? I do no think you will buy it . Ye how is price remaining in the 200s... Should probably be higher :{)
It seems this is the real bitcoin price, we are crashe from 1k dollars to 150 dollars .... and now we are here for a couple of months 200-300 dollars. Some users asking for 1k dollars but the price (not the value) can't never reach 500 dollars  . People who are asking for $1K Bitcoin while the price barely can manage to come close to $300 are clowns. They don't know how this market works. Typically get rich quick noobs. Yes of course but those people are not asking "1k dollars * bitcoin" they hope to see bitcoin at 1k dollars. I think sooner or later the next halving will cause a raise of the bitcoin price (not value) most probable around 500 dollars. Volume since the beginning of the year has been the highest in bitcoin history, yet the price has remained fairly stable, meaning a lot of accumulation is going on. In fact volume is at a rate where each coin in existence gets turned over roughly once a month. I wouldn't be surprised if some shenanigans such as naked short selling or some other fake selling is going on here near the end of the bear market, just as gox had some shenanigans going on at the top of the bull market. Volumes are most China fake market maker trades, 0 trade fee, 100 btc traded 1000 times = 100,000 volumes, just like this. accumulation is going on? how about they are all bag holders victims? Exactly, the volume is not related with the bitcoin price anymore. everyone can do these thing... also the same exchangers (who knows)? The can move their internal btc and generate a lot of fake volume.
For this purpose I have created this thread with this title "Do you really think bitcoin price will pump to 1000 dollars after...." ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1062360.0). |
