I don't know about what happen in your country guys, but here in France there is something funny about commitees.


Most of time commitees are just stupid waste of public money and nothing very good comes out of it.

But if by any chance something interesting or pertinent comes out of it, the government puts the report in a drawer and makes sure it doesn't lead to any actual measures.  There was a famous Pebereau report about our public debt for instance.  It was wonderfully ignored by the government.

I use w3m so I had to wait a few seconds to see the pic.

When I finally got to see it, let me tell you that I was quite disappointed.

Indeed, with QC we won't use DSA, we'll just use quantum cryptography, which will be much better than prime numbers based cryptography.

I guess it will then be easy to create a quantic cryptocurrency.  Is there a quantum computing version of proof-of-work ?

But anyway so far this is just science-fiction.  We might as well talk about space tourism to Alpha Centauri.

Hum...  Interesting thread.

However, this is too a serious subject.  We should create a commitee to discuss about it.

Yes.   But pretty much also for everything you consider safe on the internet.

Well, I don't have a mobile phone (or at least none with an active SIM card).   Yet, I'm still breathing.


I don't get it.  Do you actually whish you lived in Huxley's world ?


Most people here think that personal gain doesn't have to be at the expense of others.  We beleive free market is a win-win game.  Most of the things I use in my every day life come from free market, i.e. from people wanting to reach personal gain.  I'm thankful to them.

F.cking prisonner dilemma, I always forget about it.  Nah, I don't see it as important as you seem to think.  Yes, cooperation is usefull.  But please let people make their own associations and decide how and with whom they want to cooperate.  Forced cooperation is not cooperation, it's slavery.


If they have no money then money has become useless and people will use an other one.  It's just an accounting tool, it's not real wealth, damned it !  Think about this.

PS. The very success of bitcoin could prove this point.  We're not happy with national currencies, so we're using a new one.


So   Some people kill themselves too.  It's not because some people do silly or desperate things that I should copy them.

Oh sorry I had you confused with talkinrock

There are many reasons why someone could make an early bid.

One of them is that he doesn't want to wait the very last minute and be outbidded by someone who has a program such as yours 

So it makes sense to bid to the max amount you are willing to pay and just forget about it until the auction is finished.

Are you arranged by Duke Ellington ?

Chill out, man.

Be aware that the seller can end the auction at any time if he's happy with the current bidding.

OMG I had missed that part.  Yeah I know about this kind of emergence of complexity out of a large number of small simple entities.  Very interesting stuffs.

But I am not an ant, nor am I a brain cell or a DNA molecule.  An ant would immediately give its life for its queen, just because it will blindely obey olfactive orders.  I won't.  Maybe it's because I am diploïd, and not haploïd.  Maybe it's because I have a bigger brain, and thus I don't obey simple chemical and olfactive signals.

I don't consider myself as a part of a larger organisation that I would value more than my own existence.  Call me selfish if you want, I don't care.

Please feel free to cut your arm and give it to society if you think it's better for human kind as a whole.  But don't expect people to be as fool as you are.

I very much doubt so.  I don't see how anyway.   To me if somehow the amount of money in circulation decreases, because of hoarding from a few people, then there is deflation and thus falling prices.  Then people can buy again with whatever money they have left.

I wasn't quite serious.   It was rather ironic.


Yeah, but I don't remember anything about policemen beating people to force them to shop.


I'm not advocating for removing cooperation from society.  Not at all.   Is it possible that you think the state is the only kind of social organisation ?

that's much better indeed

I know there are still 9 days left but come'on, 106 BTC ?

You can do better than that, guys.

Do you mean we'll be able to make EUR/LRUSD, LREUR/LRUSD and LREUR/EUR orders ?

Does it work if you try to encrypt the file yourself from the command line ?

This should be easy to debug, just try different things.

Yeah, margaritaville is indeed quite a smart South Park episode.

I'm not russian but I'll give you a few bitcoin cents.

I think the keynesian's point of view is the one of a farmer.  Sure, a farm would be a mess if cows were free to do what they want, and if chickens could just wander everywhere they want.

But we are not cows, nor chickens, damned it.
