After the GUI wallet, 10K satoshi/IOTA will be cheap..

after exchanges 50K satoshi will be minimum imo.

 Cool Cool

It depends on the stake holders. If you guys slowly dripping your stash to the market then you can keep IOTA on a good exchange rate, but if everybody rushing to realize some profit, then it will be dumped back to 3k sats or deeper Smiley.

Science is not a religion, in any way. Science is based on facts and researches and religion is based on beleiving without asking questions.

Well, theoretically you are right. In practice science is greatly influenced by a lot of other things like ideology, business interest and politics. (As I said earlier, the human factor.) Unfortunately these external forces can suppress or even falsify scientific results. So, today some parts of science or some scientific results are very close to religion.

An FBI affidavit alleges the owner of a Dallas-area hospice ordered nurses to increase drug dosages for patients to speed their deaths and maximize profits.

Do i have to be shocked about this? Ofcourse almost all hospital doing this.

As I see natural death going to be a rarity or a privilege in the future :/. Governments and insurance companies going to be happy to get rid of the "ballast".

Nothing wrong with science, theories and assumptions as long as it's provides the best available explanation or solution for something. This is how science working. The problem is again the human factor when people start fabricating some sort of alternative religions around scientific facts or theories. Even worse when charlatans catching up and distorting those facts. The worst part is that when SJWs turning up and using, misusing or simply tampering with science according to their agenda.

Your English is fine. I have no way of knowing you are just repeating things you have read or if you are advocating for that position unless you specify this.

OK. Next time I'll try to be more specific.
287  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Would Automatic Loan Website in style of a pawn shop work? on: March 30, 2016, 03:58:53 PM
so, basically you want to give away LTC & get BTC ?

you can use https://shapeshift.io/ (swap currencies)

As I see in OP it isn't about giving away anything. This is how the lending section here working. You deposit some alts (usually 120% of the loaned amount) at an escrow as collateral, you get your BTC and when you paid back your loan (+ interest) then you will get back your alts. In this case the lending site would act as lender and escrow in one. It will turn to an exchange only if you default on your loan Smiley.

To OP: I think this could work, but you would need quite strong security and just a set of well established altcoins as collateral to avoid issues like that what killed Cryptsy.

Your profitability is pretty much depends on the geographical location of your visitors, as advertisers used to pay less for asian or african visitors than what they paying for for visitors from western countries. So you should target your site well, and also take a good care about marketing.

Unless you have some really tradeable skills, or enough money to start trading on exchanges, making 0.5 BTC per month going to be difficult.

First of all, lets not make this personal. I have several gay friends and personally don't have any issues treating them like anyone else. Now that that is aside and we can make this about the topic and not me personally...  Roll Eyes

What gives them the right to DEMAND acceptance from anyone? Should they be forced to invite people they don't agree with to their birthday parties? Are you even thinking about what you are typing? This demand is NOT WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS because it INFRINGES UPON THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS. No one has the right to appropriate the rights of others, I don't care how victimized you feel. Everyone has a right to tolerance, everyone DOES NOT have the right to acceptance. They can want it and strive for it all they want, but they DO NOT have a right to demand it and mistreat those who do not give that acceptance. You can not make other people accept what they do not believe in, they have NO RIGHTS to do this, and this behavior is not only extremely hypocritical, but counterproductive to their actual claimed goal of acceptance. Instead this behavior creates even more conflict and resistance leading to less tolerance on BOTH sides of this conflict.

Are you complaining to me  Shocked?!? Perhaps this is because of my quite far from perfect english, but I thought it's clear that I'm talking about the demands of "some gay activists" what I've found on the net.
291  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin thought experiment on: March 30, 2016, 02:30:28 PM
I was wondering how many people on here really believe in the 'longest chain wins' philosophy or whether it is only because it largely matches a 'first to publish' in the long term?

For example, if it turns out that what we currently believe to be the longest chain is suddenly and unexpectedly demoted to a side chain with the appearance of a new chain which goes back, say, 3-6 months. Would you accept this as the 'true' chain or would you push for reverting or locking to the chain that has been publicly seen?

New long chains not used to turn up suddenly. You would need a hard fork and the split of the network to form such alternative chains, so everybody would be aware of what happening.

Well if they don't like that they can opt in for PoS coins anytime Smiley. BTW maybe I'm wrong but I have the feelingthey are expecting an at least  linear growth of energy consumption with the spread of bitcoin, what make me suspect they have some odd ideas about how the bitcoin network working and what's the direction of the latest asic developments (decreasing energy consumption while increasing hashing power).

Good. This will raise more awareness about bitcoin and the whole crypto scene. I'm just wondering how that will be mined and what will be the block reward Smiley. Scrooge McDuck's stash Smiley?

They cannot survive when US allies send nuclear bombS to their country.
Korea is small. US can miss, and hit China.

Nobody would be very happy if someone would start nuking their neighbours. I think China have a rather strong control over NK, so they will stop them if needed.

Which currencies should be accepted as method of payment?

Apart from BTC you might want to use only some more established altcoins from the top 10. Alternatively you can take a look at some already existing btc/altcoin payment gateways or ripple.

Which blockchain, smart contract or Token based should be used for the VIP Membership?

Maybe using ETH is a bit too early in its current state. E.g. Counterparty is more mature and established.

@Tecshare

Gay people are only asking for equality, your argument about forcing people to except is thin because you are able tolerate other religions, therefore what some one does in their bedroom should be a lot easier.

If you read some of those gay activists they are demanding acceptance indeed, as they see tolerance as "not enough". As they claiming mere tolerance is just a passive coexistence without interactions, and such attitude isolating them from the rest of the society. They want you to invite them to your birthday party instead of just smiling and nodding to them while you keep avoiding any closer social interaction.
298  Other / Politics & Society / Re: to the misinformed member that wrote that white people stole blacks from Africa. on: March 30, 2016, 10:29:03 AM
DUDE I ABSOLUTELY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE! First it was slaves were kid napped by white men, when that myth was debunked by me, and others ( which took several years). Now it's the Kings captured people from other tribes for slavery which is just as artificial as the first Myth. The point is they don't want the truth told. The way black people in America behave tells the truth about human genes, and the fact of a criminal, and mental gene can be passed down to offspring. Shocker!  The connection to this fact is terrible for the multi billion dollar a year racism market makes for the black community in America, ( that's were the money comes from for fake history links) and the fact might stop the white guilty  movement. The same thing happen when we told people about over 200,000 blacks lived in the south as free men before the civil war. Oh the social justice warrior provide links after links telling that all black people in the south was slaves which is a lie.

Well those wikipedia articles are actually supporting many of your claims (at least on some level). Anyway if you want to make such claims you have to support it with some meaningful "documentation" otherwise you will be ignored by most people as "rabid racist" or someone shouldn't be taken seriously. Generic rule of thumb if you want arguing about such sensitive topics: lots of facts and very little emotion.
299  Other / Politics & Society / Re: to the misinformed member that wrote that white people stole blacks from Africa. on: March 30, 2016, 09:56:54 AM
No references? For some one that is about to blow our minds you did little research to back up the facts you are posting.

You claim all slaves heading to America from Africa where undesirables but thats a blanket statment and most people know the history of tribes kidnapping from other tribes as one of the ways they where gathered. So right there you lost the point and what ever argument you where going to make.
Being spared through slave to citizen is a funny way of saying "Hey thanks Slavery"!

There you go:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade#Triangular_trade

Selling criminals was a practice but that was still less common. The majority of traded slaves were captives from enemy tribes.

...and a wiki article about the jewish involvement:

Not sure where you get MLM or time share from..

It's straight forward to get the member discounts you need to be a member, hence the privileges and benefits.

Principles are based on the membership being trade able incase you no longer want the membership you can sell it on to somebody that wants it.

The benefits are as listed in description. (can be paid in Fiat or crypto) Hotel or flights etc

Sorry, in my previous experience travel clubs with tradeable membership quite often turned out to be such things. I do apologize if your site isn't one of those businesses.

So, is your site a crypto gateway to existing travel services (like travelsupermarket in fiat) or you have your own contracts with providers?
