3541  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is Mark Karpeles Jewish? [serious] on: March 01, 2014, 07:39:06 PM
Whether M.K is Jewish or not is irrelevant.
I can assure you that even if he is, he isn't observant. He was probably not brought up in a observant household and therefore wouldn't be in touch with any of its ethos and morals.

Greed is powerful. It can change the best of people no matter who they are...
On a separate point, let's try not to be so assuming. Perhaps it really was a screw up and they lost them all including all their own hoardings...

Now, re the Talmudic post...
Talmud is a part if Judaism. It is the written law which contains the Mishnah.
The Talmud includes the Rabbinical laws, Torah laws and the personal understanding of different sages on what each law means and to the extent to which it must be observed.

The argument is honestly pathetic.
I will try not to mix in much.
The Talmud does NOT say that it is permitted to cheat a non-Jew.
No cheating is allowed whatsoever in Judaism. There are laws (Halacha) where the law is different when it applies to Jewish and non Jewish cases such as;
1) A Jew can't charge another Jew interest but he can charge a non Jew interest.
2) If a Jew receives too much change from a purchase, if the owner is a Jew, he must return it. If the owner is a non Jew, he is entitled to keep the money.

These are just examples of where the laws apply differently to Jews and non Jews.
Despite this, I'm sure most people (Jews alike) have good morals and will return the change in such a situation even when they aren't entitled to.

Let's keep any debate we have here clean. Free from any racism, anti semitism and violence.

Everyone is entitled to their own view. I'd be happy to argue as long as it is dignified Smiley

Wallet has stopped syncing, and in fact now counts backwards if you leave it to catch up.

I started the wallet, it got as far as 1 hour behind, then I left it, now 2 hours later, it says 3 hours behind???

If there is work going on, an announcement pertaining to what and what may be expected during would be nice.

Not much of anything here anymore??

I like my astrocoin.

So, what's happening, anyone?


I'm not sure whats going on.
The debs may have given up on it.
Tbh it was unfair by them.
The coin has just been left to rot and early investors lost out...

3544  Economy / Economics / The Question About Regulation... on: February 25, 2014, 11:12:27 PM
So...
After this MtGox fiasco (can't be put in any other way) many people are asking for the regulation of Bitcoin.
This can be looked at from a number of perspectives.
Should we go down the non regulation route, Bitcoin would continue as it has done. Obviously we can't predict the long term performance of it, but we can say this. If Bitcoin remains unregulated, we can assume and almost be certain that it won't be long before something similar to the MtGox fiasco happens again. We've seen endless cases where Bitcoins have been stollen and lost be it on the dark web or not. If BTC was regulated, it would put a stop to such occurrences and it would increase the confidence in Bitcoins and remove any doubt of people losing their savings as has happened in the past. Of course there is always a possibility that even with regulation similar occurrences can happen. We've seen it with Northern Rock and Lehman Bros etc. These are examples that even with regulation and centralisation, all commodities are prone to disaster.
This presents a strong argument for the regulation of BTC.

However, one of the attractions of BTC is its decentralisation and lack of regulation. If it were to be regulated, I'm sure a number of people would cash out and convert to gold/silver. It is true that BTC has been used for crime, money laundering and other shady business, but now as it becomes more accepted, its clientele is changing and perhaps regulation may drive away a small percentage of its users whilst attracting a larger user base.

The fact remains that this can't go on. Something must be done. BTC doesn't need to be completely regulated, rather it has to have a form of regulation. The only question is, what kind of regulation does it need? BTC will remain decentralised. We need to find a method to regulate it to an extent which will only expand its use and acceptance.

BTC is here to stay... We just need to find a way of improving it!

Any suggestions?

P.S I'm half asleep so I haven't managed to include all aspects and give either argument to its full. My sincere apologies.

Can I see it in person? Where about are you based in the UK?
3546  Economy / Marketplace / Re: [WTB] App ideas for Games or Apps on: February 16, 2014, 05:07:54 AM
I've got a few great ideas. Games and general apps.
Some are more complex than others.
Do you have any work that I can see? Based on the quality and content I can suggest work that you'll be capable of.
You can PM me I'd you like Smiley
3547  Economy / Digital goods / Re: NETFLIX 12 Months Codes For Sale on: February 13, 2014, 09:48:06 PM
Just want to say that all went well.
Seller agreed to split into 2 separate payments but as it was $10 I paid it in one transaction.
I'm in the UK so redeemed it using the Hola extension on Chrome.
Account works and have $87.99 credit with auto billing at $7.99 a month. (Works now without Proxy/VPN).

Many Thanks.

Seller is to be trusted! Smiley
3548  Economy / Digital goods / Re: NETFLIX 12 Months Codes For Sale on: February 13, 2014, 06:07:29 PM
Payment has been sent. Will post back later to confirm delivery and leave feedback:)

3551  Economy / Auctions / Re: 0.1 BTC up for Auction! Bidding starts at 0.01 BTC! on: February 12, 2014, 05:43:20 PM
Yes it does, however if someone else bids for it which is higher than you and he wins, you'd need to pay your bid to the seller if you were the second highest bidder. Smiley
3552  Economy / Digital goods / Re: NETFLIX 12 Months Codes For Sale on: February 12, 2014, 05:16:34 PM
I'll buy the first code.
Can you escrow it?
3553  Other / Beginners & Help / Crowd Funding on: February 06, 2014, 10:52:39 PM
Is crowd funding on here permissible?
I have an idea for a website but it will be quite costly to make.
It will be beneficial to all users of all cryptos and for now at least, the service will be free. (May or may not change).
Am I allowed to make a post on here looking for funding? If so, which sub topic?
Obviously I'll explain the site in full.
Hopefully with donations, the site will be created in the next few months. (I'll be using the funds to hire a professional UK based developer).
Obviously the funders will get some perks of some sort.

Thanks

3557  Economy / Goods / Sony Ericsson GH 198 on: January 29, 2014, 09:22:44 PM
I found this phone whilst cleaning up some office space.
I have no idea how much the phone goes for as I've never actually seen it online.
I'd say it's a good 15 years old approximately. Comparing it to my iPhone, it's like the mother of all bricks!!!
Anyway, the phone seems to be new.
Comes boxed with all papers and bits still sealed in their packets.
If there's a collector out there or just someone who can help me with the value, I'd appreciate it.
If someone's interested in buying it, please PM me your offers.

Pictures posted on request...

Thanks
3558  Economy / Goods / Re: IRIS SmartWatch, bitcoin only pre-order campaign on: January 26, 2014, 05:16:44 PM
Where are you based?
If you're in London, I may be prepared to go check it out in person if the members on here want me to.
Looks very promising but theres been no media coverage of it at all and some links on the site don't work...

Let me know Smiley
3559  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: BitCoin and Alts Personal Target on: January 25, 2014, 11:50:41 PM
Updated again. Annoyed at my DOGE sale timing but what's done is done.
I'm relying on ZET, MEC, and MEOW now.

Looking for a partnership for ASR dicing site.
Need a script for a site.
Got a very good domain name. (astrocoindice.com)
Let me know if someone wants to go splits on this. (50/50 or maybe even up to 70/30 depending on how much you input).
PMs preferred.

Thanks

EDIT:

Also have domain astrocoincasino.com
If someone can do something with it, please send me a message Smiley


Are you wanting 30%-50% of a gambling site because you bought a domain?

Also, are you related to Sir Henry Cooper the boxer by any chance?

No,
I'm willing to maintain the site and run support.
I'm offering a split for someone who wants to run a script and deal with the tech issues.

And no I'm not related to him. But it made me laugh. Not many seem to know who he is, but I know of him for the same reason that you asked the question if you get what I'm saying Wink
