What does Stuxnet have to do with this?! It was a worm spreading via USB sticks (if autorun/autoplay was not disabled on the victim's machine) and had a payload interfering with SCADA systems (industrial controllers).

More cyber war, Stuxnet was really just the first major example of cyber warfare.

Write it to take down any comp running a bitcoin node.   PLC's it was messing with, which is pretty crazy because no one ever thought people would write viruses for PLC's..  These control the back-up power to everything..  Done a bunch of back up systems with PLC's, due to the air-gap no virus protection is really thought of.

Although to get this on to all of the nodes would not be an easy task.. if even possible. 

I know of people writing "locks" for the code if the customer is known to not pay..  Well hey what do you know after 3 months it won't work and you haven't paid.. shame.  That is some shady stuff though.
2962  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stuxnet and bitcoin... on: November 08, 2014, 12:29:18 PM
That would be pretty extreme. Don't forget that the people behind Stuxnet did not just stop after creating the worm. They also went ahead and assassinated a bunch of Iranian nuclear scientists. If Bitcoin devs started getting blown up with car bombs then this would be mean war.

I would fear the people would do the same to us...  Well not you or I we are no one but the gifted speakers and thinkers of our community.  Probably hide it as several "unfortunate accidents".. :S.

LOL. Russia is just shooting itself in the foot.

I know.. banning bitcoin.. the dollar...  I honestly wouldn't be suprised if the banned Silver and Gold next.
2967  Economy / Speculation / Re: What sort of event will trigger mass adoption? on: November 07, 2014, 07:58:31 PM
Cyprus 2.0. By 2016 it will be legal to steal from peoples private accounts in EU countries. By next year, Germany. They are as usual ahead of the game.

If we have some easier and safer ways to buy and hold coins by then, all the better.

This... the govs will steal 10-90% of peoples holdings in their bank accounts.

Once this happens in countries where people live in dream land and are so arrogent they believe it could never happen to them.. shit will get crazy.
2968  Economy / Speculation / Re: So "what if", on Nov 30th... on: November 07, 2014, 07:56:51 PM
Not gonna happen, imo.

Alas I agree... the propoganda machine the Central banks control is just too powerful.
2969  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Stuxnet and bitcoin... on: November 07, 2014, 07:08:52 PM
Would the best attack against us be creating a mimic of stuxnet and taking out all the nodes at exactly the same time.....

Is this a legit concern for us?
2970  Economy / Speculation / Re: So "what if", on Nov 30th... on: November 07, 2014, 05:37:36 PM
Humanity is blessed that there is still hope for us to be free.

Seems one might just try.
2972  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to be a dumbass on: November 07, 2014, 04:41:03 PM
LMAO, quite hilarious.

Quite the pipe dream if it was going to go up 5% a year everyone would dump money in.... driving how much it went up... creating a bubble.. the bubble would pop people would sell... a bottom would be reached.. it would start to increase at a steady rate again.. people will go nuts and pour money in...

How about them market cycles..
2973  Economy / Economics / Re: is it possible at all for a bank to be honest on: November 07, 2014, 03:00:10 PM
I've been going over the history of modern banking, and right from the start when banks were little more than goldsmiths with vaults they already couldn't stop themselves from loaning out deposited client gold to other clients (e.g running a fractional reserve scam).

is it possible that humans by nature simply cannot hold other people's money for long periods of time without their greed leading either to them loaning out other people's money or downright running away with it?
it seems to me bitcoin's solution of being your own bank is the only way to keep your precious money from being stolen by one elaborate scam or another.

You are correct, it is IMPOSSIBLE for humans to hold onto others peoples wealth without running fractional banking.  100% impossible.
2974  Economy / Economics / Re: It won't be Bitcoin or any current altcoin on: November 07, 2014, 02:57:18 PM
Crypto is either decentralized or it's not worth switching on a computer for.

What you talk about already exists in many varieties and is centralized, any fiat currency or credits issued by a company fit what you just described.

Countries could use the Blockchain technology to track EVERY SINGLE thing you buy via the blockchain..

The ablity to oppress people with the blockchain is a very real and horrible thing.

I have a feeling before I die there will be wars fought over this(There must be or freedom dies)... civil ones... when govs attempt to implment this on their people under the idea of "protceting you from terrorism"
2975  Economy / Economics / Re: When will the USA pay their debts, if ever? on: November 07, 2014, 02:56:03 PM
It is not possible with fractional banking.  The entire idea is to not pay it off.

2978  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Monsanto & Bitcoin Argentina - Together ? on: November 07, 2014, 02:20:52 PM
Someone like Monsanto, who wants to centralize all crop rights in one entity associated with Bitcoin doesn't make any sense.
What are they doing there?

If done properly bitcoin offers the ability to control the population like never seen before...

If we let these people take it over... the enslavement of man will be set in stone.
2979  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: #BitcoinStarcraft ** 14 BTC Prize ** December 21st on: November 07, 2014, 01:49:19 PM
Somebody should try to make this happen this year too... It should be a lot easier this time around.

Unfortunately I don't have the time right now...

Good idea you'd get a lot of donations I would think.
2980  Economy / Economics / Re: How many Bitcoins to succesfully manipulate price down by $100 ? on: November 07, 2014, 01:36:42 PM
It does not count if it is only one exchange...

You/they did not drop the price of bitcoin down to $100... you decided you wanted to light your wealth on fire by selling it at 1/3 of what people are paying.

Dropping it to $100 on one exchange for 10 mintues means YOU DID NOT DROP THE PRICE TO $100 you sold your coins off for 1/3 of the going price like a moron.
