I could not find one when I looked, but I think it's an awesome idea. I would definitely use it. Such an app store would have to allow payments in BTC. That may cut out iso, but why anyone would use a locked phone is beyond me anyway.

The problem for Mods is determining what is illegal, against someone's TOS, or legitimate. It would become their only job all day long. What I do is take note that an old, trusted account means nothing at all. Never trade based on trust. Satoshi's whole idea was a trust-less system.

I do think it's unethical even when it's legal. I will not sell my account, I may some day delete it, but not sell. I can only imagine why some one would pay me a few hundred bucks for it.  
3503  Other / Politics & Society / Re: i don't hate muslims on: March 05, 2015, 06:35:23 PM
I don't hate muslims I hate the terrorists (like ISIS and the other "organisations") but this is only my personal opinion.
That's right, we should point the difference here.
People love to draw conclusions without thinking, e.g. Some priests are pedophiles, I hate priests!
Only a small percentage of muslims are extremists, just like a small number of Germans are neo-nazis, but we don't hate Germans as a nation.

Yes, I have Muslim friends who are very positive about life and generous to the core, loving peace and too sociable.
When you meet such people and compare their lives with that of these extremists, there's an incontrovertible difference and a wide gap.

It would be like saying "I hate Germans because they are all Nazis!"

Invalid image, I can't see the image.
Once I did martingale on 10x by accident and I quickly lost 0.06. Another time I bet 0.2 on 95%, and somehow I lost Sad I'm not very lucky with dice, I prefer games like luckybit.
Since there are no dice involved you really don't know that you ever had a chance to win. I would not trust those sites at all.
3505  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: blockchain.info now shows CHINA mining 54% of BTC on: March 05, 2015, 06:26:22 PM
this is pretty alarming

not really..

after all. for atleast a year, maybe even 3+ years america was dominating the mining..
Yeah, where were the alarm bells when virtually 100% of the hash power was in the US?
And a conspiracy among Chinese miners to launch a 51% attack is not logical as it would hurt their businesses as much as anyone.

Dead again? Poor bitcoin. That makes 500 deaths so far.

We need a standard obituary that can be auto posted. It's exhausting preparing for this many funerals. Oh... wait,... It's twitching again and it's heart is starting up. Gota go.

All they want is your hatred. The idea of terrorism is to foment hatred and provoke a stupid overreaction. It's hard to argue that terrorism has not been successful in that effort. 9/11 did not break the world, our reaction to it has. Success draws support and we are now seeing that support growing. I don't know what we can do?

3513  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do you deny evidence? bitcoin has deluded all us on: March 04, 2015, 09:10:11 PM
The only reason for using dollars atm , is because its hard to find ( atleast where i live ) to find a store that sells anything for bitcoins. its kind of crazy that everyone havent gotten adopted to bitcoin yet. but i guess it takes time : l
True. "brick and mortar" stores are lagging behind and I do use dollars when transacting in real life. There are only a few places here that take BTC. Being a digital native it makes sense that bitcoin is more used online. In several years you might start seeing it in fast food and other places where credit cards barely work.  
3514  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do you deny evidence? bitcoin has deluded all us on: March 04, 2015, 08:58:16 PM
I don't look at price. I look at how many places I can spend my coins. Things look great to me. Just a year ago it was hard to find places. These days there are new choices every week. I thought that would take ten years, but wow, here we are.

The reasons I no longer use credit/debit cards:

1. They are unsafe and outdated. In the US we still use magnetic stripes. Yes really. How stupid is that? No wonder I'm on my third replacement card in a year.  

2. There are a million rules about where, who and how I can pay on the internet. I no longer obey those foolish rules. I buy whatever I want from anyone I chose no matter where they are. I travel a lot and when I do I look for places to spend my BTC. No swapping currencies back and forth.

3. Speed. This is more of a benefit to retailers, but I like it also. When I hit send and pay, it's over. The retailer does not have to wait days or weeks to verify my identity like a card. Within minutes the transaction is irreversible and the seller can ship with confidence.

4. Price. I can send a million dollars for a few cents. With dollars it costs me dollars to send dollars abroad. F that.

5. No trust needed. BTC is the only money in history that does not require trust. It can't be manipulated like issued money. It is the only fair money that can be used on the internet. Gold is also fair, but impractical.
So when you say there is no reason to use bitcoin I think you mean that you don't understand bitcoin. If you did I believe you would not see a reason to ever use dollars.

No kidding? Wow!



I was following Zach prior to his passing, always lovin' this song and relating it to Bitcoin in at least my mind. Hopefully, now in other's as Bitcoin is being introduced to newbies up there in the clouds.

Zach Sobiech "Clouds" gospel choir version performed at Dawn of a Dream 2013
Hey that was a damn good song! It will now be tied to BTC in my mind also.  Cheesy

I don't know BTC-E, but if they take a money order you might try that. It is generally cheaper and safer than the convoluted systems some exchanges use.

Hey I noticed the price per Oz. of the Kilo bars is the same as the Oz. price for a 1oz. coin. (within a buck anyway). Are there any discounts for larger amounts?

3520  Other / Off-topic / Re: Scientific proof that God exists? on: March 04, 2015, 05:26:22 PM
That's the point. Usually one piece of evidence isn't quite enough to prove anything. Even in the courts, if you are challenged regarding your statements, at least one witness is needed, and there has to be additional evidence that can't easily be refuted.

As I said above, the whole of nature is a multitude of evidences for God, way more evidences than can be counted. But if you need another angle, consider that in the reality of nature, everything operates by cause and effect. So, what caused the causes, that caused the causes, that caused the causes, that caused the causes, that caused the causes, and so on, right down to today? The longer you extend the timeline, the greater you are suggesting that God is.

Look at billiards, the game of pool. If someone hits a ball, that hits another ball, that hits another ball, that hits another ball, that hits another ball, that knocks a final ball into a pocket, that player is doing extremely well. So, the further back you extend time, the more complicated it would be for the Great First Cause to have kick-started everything into the positions that they hold today. What you are doing is you are actually declaring the greatness of God to be way beyond what I have suggested with my little 6,000 years.

Smiley
But that is not a convincing argument. Even the idea of cause and effect is known to be incorrect. It works at scales we experience but at the sub-atomic scale cause and effect breaks down and effect can follow cause. Following the same logic one could ask "who caused God then?".
And what about things we absolutely can prove without a doubt? Like the fact that the Earth is billions of years old, not 6,000?
I just don't buy it. Despite the fact that most people who have ever lived believed in one God or another.
