i dont know this guys pro-biotic washing system (or whatever it is) but i'm not giving up my daily bath for anything. i dont use much soap, shampoo even less and never use deodorant, i smell fine. no one ever complains, and my friends wouldn't be shy to if i was stinking. he has a point that soaps and detergents are over used, but hot water is never going out of style.

also, he makes a good point about bacteria and such, but what about his ass? you gotta wash off all that sticky shit once in a while.

he should team up with the soylent guys. dont eat, dont wash... maybe he can figure out a way to never sleep too. i think he's got the dont have sex part totally dialed in by the looks of him

google charges the company that wants to advertise an agreed upon rate. The publisher of online content that hosts the google ads gets a small percentage of that rate. google takes the lion's share.

in order for google to retain their clients (advertisers) they try very hard to prevent click-fraud. they want to ensure their clients that they are getting real and valuable sales leads from each click.

i believe over 50% of clicks are either accidents or frauds. google wants to keep this fact a secret because they would lose billions in revenue.

no one likes ads. they are annoying. pay per click ads are a broken system since almost no one chooses to visit an an ad.

i am familiar with click fraud systems. years ago one could use bots to simulate clicks and steal money from google and their ad clients. now one must use rings of coordinated humans who manually change IP, wipe cookies, visit each other's blogs, open 20 pages, leave open for 5 minutes, click on an ad, browse ad for 5 minutes filling out any forms, then repeat for the next fraudster in the ring. it is a "you scratch my back i scratch your's" type deal, meaning every click fraudster who visits a site and clicks ads expects the owner of said site to do the same for them. since it is all done manually by humans it is hard to recognize patterns and is more viable than other automated methods.

anyways...back to my original statement.... ask anyone you know if they have ever genuinely clicked on an ad, with real consumer interest. the answer is invariably NO

my question is... how is this of any value to advertisers?

Gun control is important, really important. I'll give you an example. Last week I got a day pass from the psych ward I live in so I went over to Walmart and spent my welfare check on a brand new SIG pro and a box of ammo.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sig_Pro#/media/File:SIG_Pro_by_Augustas_Didzgalvis.jpg
Walmart is 3 buses away from the institute so I had to hurry to get back on time for chow time and I was real tired. That combined with my nightly meds had me more than a little spacey so that when I went on the roof to do some target practice I could barely control my gun at all and I didn't hit even one single air liner that flew past above. Tomorrow I will try again and hopefully I will have better gun control and will be able to take down a 747 or two before occupational therapy

Filled it out. Hard to imagine what the data will tell you, all pretty generalized questions. It will be interesting to read your results.

I'd imagine he was also a very early adopter. That alone would make you very wealthy.

Vancouver even has a guy running for parliament who's got BTC on his agenda https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1179945.0

I think Vancouver is the most BTC friendly city in Canada really. Even if Montreal has the BTC embassy, Van has the techies and the overall libertarian attitude

I'm going to give this a try. Always need some extra BTC. Thanks!

I'm lowering the price to 0.8 BTC insured shipping included (North America only-- I will split shipping price for rest of world)

PM me to set up escrow (also included in price

0.8 BTC!!!

he's a pretteh cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything.

no really, hes a big fake. he only owns 11% of his holdings.

suicide is always a bad move. dont do it. there are always people who care about you even if you cant see. besides, you never know what tomorrow might bring.

they have polled suicide attempts who did not die and almost all of them said they acted in a moment of darkness, but were glad to be alive.

wait it out. you're going to be ok

this generation already has been largly taken over by tech. its not all bad though. what we are seeing is some counter cultural movement. some kids are getting back to the land, like hippies in the sixties, there is a movement that is reacting against technocracy.

I get pretty tired of all the conspiracy theories

most are totally debunked here http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a49/1227842/

i do however believe that the terrorists were allowed to proceed as far as they did because they had been funded by US covert programs. 911 just happened to be what they call "blowback" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowback_%28intelligence%29

Canada looking better and better for bitcoin! He's got my vote!

I'm guessing you are somewhere in the states. Do you have friends or relatives in Canada? If you do they can buy up to 0.2 btc instantly using Interact (instant online payment) through an account at any of the national banks. It's done through this service https://quickbt.com/ca/
No verification needed.
I'm not sure if there is anything similar for the usa but you could look around and see

Good to know about this. Or should I say "aboot"
No actually, it's "about" I've lived all my life in Canada and never once heard a single person say it that way. It's a fiction that some American made up and I don't know why, there's plenty of actual true things that Canadians do that they could make fun of.
Anyhizzle, I like that Voat sub. It gives me reason to join Voat. Thanks for pointing it oot 

Adsense detects fraud with an algorithm and human checkers. The algorithm detects fraud like behaviour and then an actual human being takes a closer look. Their algorithm is top secret (if it was known it could be subverted) and the humans are pretty damn busy. I forget the numbers but Google Adsense has somewhere in the area of a billion publishers in their program. It's a lot to police. I can't imagine there are that many publishers using btc ad networks so it would be smaller scale to watch over.

If security is not tight and fraud is rampant no advertiser will use. It would be worthwhile to hire outside security. There are many cyber fraud securities companies out there. Even still, Google keeps it very quiet but I would guess at least half their clicks are bogus, despite their best efforts. Think about this; have you ever, even once, clicked an ad on purpose intending to buy something? Ask around. The answer is almost always "no"

PPC advertising doesn't work. The only person who profits is Google (and click fraudsters)

When ASICminer went down it officially closed the book on both cloud mining AND investing. They were one of the only trustworthy and profitable btc companies and when they ran off with their investors money there was no longer "the one" to point at when folks inquired if anything in this sphere was not %100 scammy poo poo

ACTIVEmining. He's been found guilty of breaking a bunch of securities rules by the Missouri Securities Division (misleading investors, failing to make good on promises etc) and has been issued fines of over $30000. He is also supposed to reimburse all investors for IPO value of shares. So far he has ignored these charges and refuses to cooperate even his lawyer fired him!
The deadline for paying his fine is coming up (can't remember if it's end sept or oct) but he's nowhere to be found. If he doesn't pay the fines it goes to the federal level and he will see jail time and a disgorgement of funds. The FBI will be tasked with hunting his sorry ass down.
There was some debate wether he was an outright scam or just in readable incompetent but his behaviour regarding the legal matters and his responsibilities to his shareholders (and the state of Missouri) lean pretty hard toward scammer

So says a guy who invented a software that is primarily used to share stolen content. His opinion is like almost everyone else's; irrelevant. What are all these suckers going to say, or even do, when consensus is reached and all this debate is in the past? Besides, I don't see any of them offering up any sort of other solutions.

Cryptos get discussed at various levels of Canadian government, so far with very little else happening than advisory boards and recommendations. Some positive some not so much. We are headed towards a federal election soon, depending on who wins, we'll see which direction it goes. Not really on any party's promises or platforms.
That said, all parties seem quite open to innovation (kind of a national point of pride) and our national mint has even experimented with its own crypto (mintchip fail) and most regulation regarding exchanges is at the provincial level.
We will have to wait and see, but so far so good. Canada is one of the top btc using nations after all
