You have two cows
You kill one to limit methane production
You milk the other one for self-use and go work on your novel.

This is hilarious.  We need one for PETA.

Yeah, that whole "we're people too" thing was bad enough when the women and then the blacks did it...  Roll Eyes
completely different. woman and black people can't control if they're born wit out a dick or if their skin is black

They also can't control whether or not they like dick.  Do you like sushi?  Some people don't like sushi.  However, all people are born with the same tongues, so why is it that Bill likes sushi but Jane hates sushi?  OBVIOUSLY Jane is a fucking liar, because if Bill likes sushi, and Jane's got the same tongue Bill was born with, she's just pretending to dislike sushi for attention.

People might kill and/or rob you for your money if times are bad and you are not popular.

So it makes sense to be quiet about what you have at times.

This.  I don't mind revealing how much fiat I have (paycheck to paycheck; no more than $2k at any point in time,) but when it comes to BTC, and how much I value that BTC, as far as anyone's concerned, I don't have any.  At least not on this computer, or any other computer that may or may not exist.  Also, it's easy to steal BTC; you can do it anonymously, over the Internet, without any repercussion.

The only utopia is the voluntary utopia.  All other utopias are undesirable.

However, I would like to see the hashing power burned out on Bitcoin going toward something besides PoW.  It's intentionally inefficient--not a bad thing, but not a good thing, either.

won't people start to confuse all the different "wallet" addresses. if they are sending to a BTC, BTE or some other form . this will have too many people get confused later. it will be bad

They all start with a different number or letter.  Bitcoin uses 1, Bytecoin uses 8, and Litecoin uses L, for example.

what are  bytecoins?!? what's the incentive for anyone to move (keeping in mind that the name sounds like a complete rip off to begin with).
is the only incentive for LATECOMERS to get cheap entry into something comparable.  if so.. seriously?

Still beats fiat.

I'm assuming this is why we have more than one version of the same anthology.
3132  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you tell people who ask "how much bitcoin do you have?" on: April 07, 2013, 01:59:49 AM
I tell the truth. I had tens of thousands of coins at one point. Gave many away, lost some, bought a bunch of worthless crap, and got scammed out of the rest.

It was for the good of the BTC economy.  Tongue

3134  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin donation fund idea on: April 07, 2013, 01:56:26 AM
A public donation pool to be used toward charities would shine a good light on Bitcoin; considering it's deflationary, one could also display how much extra cash Bitcoin gained by just sitting around being Bitcoin.

It still wouldn't stop every BTC article to start with "Bitcoin, that one black market currency used to buy drugs and hookers,...", but it couldn't be a bad thing.
3135  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Facebook - advertising? on: April 07, 2013, 01:52:46 AM
Waste of our money, facebook ads are probably the most overpriced spots on the web.

Bitcoin price vs fiat is going to rise exponentially over the next couple decades, the devil is in the details. Personally I could care less if the mainstream adopts BTC this decade due to a mass advertising campaign, or thirty years from now due to necessity. I'm not going to spend any of my wealth to force the issue.

Spoken like a true miser Grin  But I agree, facebook ads are not only expensive, they go entirely unnoticed.

Plus, I closed mine the moment I realized they were selling my face for ad space.  I don't think I'm alone there.
3136  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2013-03-28 - Bull Market Thinking - Bitcoin Bubble 2.0 on: April 07, 2013, 01:50:03 AM

I think the problem with the competing currencies is that for any of them (including Bitcoin) to survive to large adoption by the masses, people have to feel comfortable using them.  ATM most people are not really "getting" bitcoin, although a few are.  When alt currencies of a similar type pop up, the natural inclination would be to say "well, why use those and not bitcoin?"  At which point I worry someone will say "altcoinA solves these problems that bitcoin has..."  Now the perception could be had that even among the knowledgeable early adopters there is concern about Bitcoin, leading to hesitation in using it.  With everyone saying "altcoinX solves these problems that altcoinY has", it leads to infighting (or the perception thereof) and undermining the general public's opinion of the whole concept.

Then again, maybe I am just overthinking it!    Tongue



What's likely to happen is a group of people who understand Bitcoin will advocate it in such a way to point out its pros against fiat and why it's a much better alternative.  The more people who adopt it, the more the herd follows.  They may not completely understand Bitcoin, but they'll know why it's the superior alternative to useless watered-down guvvy funny munny.

However, the media is also playing the game if discrediting Bitcoin, and driving people away from it; it's all propaganda, you see.  They're paid to influence, and they'll influence the herd in whichever way their masters (a handful of people, if you can believe it) feel; and of course, that handful of people are filthy stinking rich, so they're going to make sure you stick with the dollar no matter what it takes.

The undecided are ripe and ready to go either way.  The thinkers may not be rich, but they are plentiful.

Pretty much anything that uses Scrypt is incompatible with ASIC technology.

Right now that's Litecoin, and anything based off Litecoin.

[10:39] <@luke-jr> zzzzzz: the Catholic Church is
[10:39] <zzzzzz> Wow. just wow.
[10:40] <@luke-jr> the Catholic Church wrote the New Testament and decided which books made up the Bible
[10:40] <@luke-jr> it makes no sense at all to put the Bible above it
