I remember there was a vulnerability in the RNG which allowed to guess private keys and steal some Bitcoins. Blockchain.info owner fully reimbursed losses for the uses from own pocket.
Very trustworthy service!

You're from China? I Thought TOR bridges that you add to the TOR bundle made it work?
No, I am not from here. But if you will make some research you will find that Chinese authorities frequently update blacklist of the TOR nodes and bridges, so you have to know some hidden bridges to be able to connect to the TOR network from China. |

What's wrong with the site? I tried to load it at different times throughout the past couple of days, but it takes several minutes to load, or results in a 502 bad gateway error.
May be you have tried when big prize was scheduled to be paid out and the site was DDoS'ed by players. |

Interesting facts from the recent U.S. jobs report - while total labor force participation rate rose slightly, for the white men it have fallen. I can assume that only crappy jobs with minimum wage have left (automation has lesser impact on service jobs now, but it won't last forever). Some whites can think these jobs are not even worth for them so simply drop out from the labor force if they have some other income to live (parents, disability benefits, wife's job etc). However in long term it is disastrous because white men traditionally was a core of the middle class and their drop out from the labor force can cause severe downward spiral (because this demographic group used to buy goods and services from labor intensive industries - homes, cars, luxury etc).  |

Why would it be fragmented? We already have the technology to roll out a global mesh net. Its just that no one wants to use it yet.
I don't know exactly, but I think it will be virtually impossible for ordinary citizens (not the corporations or governments) to maintain worldwide mesh network. And people can still easily get porn in China?
Tech-savvy geeks may be, but vast majority of the ordinary people won't be able to bypass China's great firewall (solutions "from the box" like TOR bundle don't work here). |

The more the powers fight it, the more decentralized it will get, until the only way to block it is to stop it at the source for every anonymous person using it.
Bitcoin won't work if the Internet will be fragmented. Besides, the powers will very quickly lose all their power shortly after they cut off all their citizens' porn.
Porn is already blocked in China, and what?! |

Russian people tend to ignore prohibitions and will use Bitcoin even more actively for savings and spending abroad!  The only bad thing is that Russian companies (especially physical who cannot operate from the offshore) aren't allowed to accept Bitcoin so this can constrain adoption. |

I have no idea what an intelligent entity with a brain/processing hardware of the size of a skyscraper would be valued at. It might be able to stop any and all attackers just by talking to them after reverse-engineering their thought patterns, or by creating a virus that kills them, or by manipulating some of them to fight the rest, or by altering society to depend on it, or any of millions of other methods.
If you have ever taken an AI course you must know that developing an intelligent agent (robot) able to "live" in the competitive environment is much more complicated task than developing the AI for "friendly" conditions. Respectivly, the robots replacing most workers in manufacturing and services will appear decades earlier than military robots able to suppress riots the of unemployed. |

If that happens, supply of labor goes down, demand for labor goes up, whatever jobs still remain have their wages go way up.
This will happen only if the unemployed will be killed but not the bourgeoisie and tech elite (as history shows, it is very unlikely). Also, one way in which history won't repeat itself is that people with money (in bitcoin) will actually be able to leave and take their money with them, instead of having all of it seised at the border.
But likewise we won't need to start with janitorial jobs, because all our money won't get confiscared at the border, with us only being able to take $300 with us.
Do you really think the Internet will continue working and/or Bitcoin/TOR/anonymizers won't be blocked after revolutionary forces will take the power!? |

I don't think any altcoin's market cap will go above $1B. To get this altcoins must be used for investment purposes, but the most safe cryptocurrency is Bitcoin therefore all investment capitals will move into it.

@Rassah, history repeats itself and soon there may be new civil war if no action taken to resolve tech joblessness problem! This time it can be 1000x times bloodier than it had been during Russian revolution and civil war. Also you won't have any chances to start with janitorial job in the countries where capitalist and tech elites will save the power because they simply won't need human to do these entry-level jobs!  |

I think $10K/BTC will be after few years no matter from the situation in U.S. economy.

The biggest problem is that mining in Russia might be not legal now, as that's the only thing we could call currency emission here.
Most miners use pools located outside Russia, so this ban won't affect them. |
|
|
|
|
Seems the ban applies only for corporations, not personal users.
Also it is only recommendation because the laws can pass only State Duma (parliament of Russia).

Russian ruble is collapsing now, so government makes desperate attempts to save it.
P.S. I suggest to withdraw WebMoney WMX (if you have some) to the Bitcoin wallet.

But of you employ somone else do do it and don't comply with the thousands of laws, you go to jail.
Do you mean labor laws, e.g. minimum wage, safety on workplace, limit on working hours, child labor prohibition etc? If you repeal them, there will spiral to the bottom resulting in the conditions existed in Medieval feudalism. Would you like it?  |

When requesting my prize it says 'you need to disable ad-block', but ad-block is already disabled for your site.
Some users have complained about this but, may be there is a bug in the browser or ad-block. Try to disable ad-block completely or use different browser. Rates keep dropping to the point that it's worth nothing.
BTC/USD nevertheless is growing! |

Of possible interest to those posting to this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=430364.new#newIt's a very preliminary proposal for an altcoin that would generate a guaranteed income for anyone. This would do an end-run around governments and the whole "Tax some to pay others" mess. Nobody of the capital owners will accept these altcoins IMHO. |
|

Accepting this altcoin would be just as voluntary as accepting Bitcoin. So no, there's no enslaving going on.
Even if implemented, you could refrain from accepting free coins or payment in these coins, so there is no need to feel threatened by it.
Nobody of the capital owners will accept these altcoins IMHO. The enslaved are the people that are forced to work in order to enrich the people that don't work.
Partially true - if accepting altcoins will be compulsory, this idea have no difference with taxation. But assuming that main production factor will be the capital (robots) and not the labor, no people will be force to work, just bourgeoisie forced to share production means. |

Current resolution is to greatly reward these people so that they spare a few coins for the rest of the human to survive, while they can accumulate majority of the wealth on the planet. But this only works temporarily, eventually they would have no more wealth to accumulate
99% won't ever agree that bourgeoisie and lucky techies must have "greatly reward" while others have to live on the pauper's support that provide only water and bread, so almost certainly will start the war against capital owners if the state won't have fair redistribution scheme. This is just a beginning what will be: http://arstechnica.com/business/2014/01/protestors-show-up-at-the-doorstep-of-google-self-driving-car-engineer/ |
