What are these guns you speak of ?

I'm Canadian..

It's what makes a person with a uniform good and a person without one bad. At least in America that's how it is.

At this point the five person team fired 71 rounds at Guerena in seven seconds, who died after being hit 22 times.[6][7] An investigation revealed that Jose had not fired his weapon. The AR-15 rifle Guerena pointed toward officers was found loaded, but with the safety engaged.
 

That's terrible that they got away with that with no arrests. 


Yeah, they were recently cleared of any wrongdoing. And just to make sure that the grieving family had things in perspective, the attorney for the SWAT team said, "This was all about a man who made bad choices and when you make bad choices to men who are armed, uniformed, and there for a lawful reason, bad things are going to happen."

I'd like to think he's referring to the guy who fired the first shot, not the victim.  Of course it's a lawyer so...

Wait till you search the term "bump key" and find countless videos of sometimes children opening locked household locks and doors with a simple generic key.

You'll realize locks only keep out good people..  
Yeah like the old saying goes "Locks are just there to keep honest people honest." Or something like that.  If somebody really wants in there's no way to keep them out really.  I find my 12 gauge keeps the bad people honest  Wink

Ah I see you edited and reworded the post (or I misread it the first time), it makes more sense that way.

Oh, shit! Atlas is gone!? This will go down in Bitcoin history!

Bitcoin history?  Really?  He's just a kid with mental issues.  Or you're being sarcastic, hard to tell. 
Somehow I think he's here and in cahoots with these SA trolls.


He definitely is, he seems to have a pathological need for attention.  As long as he isn't posting crazy atlas stuff he might be able to evade a ban, but that would mean not being himself/not posting about anything he really cares about, so he'll get bored eventually and either leave or revert to the crazy stuff and get banned again.  So either way it's still a win.

I never lock my home, the keys to my F250 are on the dash, either in the driveway or on the public street, and my Bitcoin resides in Instawallet. One of my warehouses has never been locked while the other is locked only half the time. What am I missing here?

where are you warehouses located? (preferably exact addresses)  Wink

You looking for wood porn?

Maybe I'm dense. Perhaps I have the wrong website. But I can't find anything, not even a link, regarding Bitcoin on his webpage.
I can't either but the guys from bitpay say they have been talking to him.  And the topic title is inaccurate, it isn't Max's campaign, it's Bit-pays and they are trying(have?) to get Max on board.

Python is a good language to start programming in, I was going to at one point, but I sit around on my rear too much as it is, I prefer to spend my time outside.

That's why we're here!  Discussion is always great for getting new ideas, hard to see things when you only have one perspective.

He's the guy who was railing against JP Morgan(?) and tried to push the price of silver up enough to bankrupt them via their short position on that market.  It ultimately failed though.

It's definitely a problem, there isn't much you can't buy with fiat.  Opening a regular store (except with bitcoins!) is pretty much doomed to failure before it begins.  Digital goods like indie music and games is a good idea, but getting the word out to enough people to make it worth it would be difficult.  There's also the issue of the libertarian stance on piracy/intellectual property rights, that would hurt business.  Steam did a lot to curb piracy on the PC with their sales and easy installs/downloads but it took a long time and a lot of money for Steam to get where it is now.

I am sick of the Bruce bashing going on, the accusations have already been addressed satisfactorily, any reptition is pure malice.

There is no evidence Bruce was related to mybitcoin, except he encouraged newbies to get accounts there and lost a lot himself.
There is no proof mybitcoin was a scam, they failed to implement proper bitcoin security (only waiting for 0-1 confirmations) and got exploited.

Quote from: mybitcoin.com
It appears to be human error combined with a misunderstanding of how Bitcoin secures transactions into the next block. Our programmer was under the assumption that one block was good enough to secure a transaction

The lies were created by trolls from Something Awful to help crash bitcoin and for lulz.  There's no need to help them.

Let's get real here.  While theres no proof that he was associated with mybitcoin or that he is a ephebophile, but he is a convicted con man and took money from people on the verge of losing their homes with promises to help.  I doubt trolls made up court documents.

No, too reasonable, and not enough unilaterals and desires.

This would have been great before, but him and all 21(!) of his alts were banned by theymos a couple days ago.  Still useful since theres tons of his posts everywhere.
 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54127.0  Ban discussion starts halfway down page 2. 
Great work though  Wink

The day he was banned he admitted in a thread that he was off his meds, then proceeded to derail virtually every thread in general discussion (maybe other forums too I wasn't checking them).  The posts have since been deleted and cleaned up so it may seem like it wasn't warranted, but it was.  Luckily he was mostly being ignored, but it only takes one person taking the bait to ruin a thread.

It looks like the SA trolls are trying to hijack this entire situation, and trying to paint Atlas as the villain, when he's clearly not. Theymos may be pushing his power a bit to far in this situation...

What SA trolls?  They don't care about this place anymore, they even closed their bitcoin thread because they got bored.  It looks like you are trying to spin this situation into something it isn't.  Atlas wasn't banned because of something someone else said or did, he was banned because he spent an entire day posting off topic and irrelevant replies and disrupting real discussion in every thread he showed up in.  Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen.  In this case it's Atlas being the troll.
