1) I've always appreciated how both Theymos and Mt. Gox have managed this forum. I've had my complaints, but they could do much much worse and their performance speaks well of them (imo.)
Possibly OT, but how is Mt. Gox affiliated with forum management? I was unaware of a connection. MT.Gox pays for hosting, I think. |

A +1 Button on each user would be fine. Each user can give a user only one +1 and also remove it. Otherways some users would start paying for multiple votes. Also newbees can't vote to make sure one doesn't use multiple sockpuppets to boost his own ratings. I would like that. Edit: On the other hand, my profile would always say to me: "You have 0 friends"  |

Doesn't apply to academic journals articles. Basically you only buy a license to use, you do not buy ownership. Copyright law for scientific literature is all kinds of fucked up. For academic institutions it's even not THAT bad. You don't want to know what hoops you have to jump through to use them in a commercial environment, and that's not even touching on the massive amounts of money you need to spend on copyright clearance. I'm talking several millions in dirty fiat money here. Year, I agree getting this might be "questionable" to put it lightly. And that I'm outraged that this cost up to 30$ for one single article doesn't make it better. This service would allow me to read a few selected article that interest me for a reasonable price, that I would otherwise have no option to read. And I'm still not convinced that giving a article you have to another person is illegal. Selling them on the other hand? But he still can give me the paper to read and if it helps me he gets a donation for pointing me in the right direction. And that's basically what he does. (Sorry for confused writing style, I'm tired) |

MPOE-PR, just out of curiosity.
What do you expect to archive by this?
Do you think this will be successful and theymos gives himself a scammer tag? --> probably not, you aren't that stupid.
Do you think this will attract new customers to your exchange? --> I fail to see how that should work.
Do you just enjoy trolling have the feeling to be the sole fighter for whatever? --> That's what I would put my money on (not literally).
As from you previous reactions it seems I also have to say this:
I'm not trying to offend you, I just don't understand your motivations.

1/3 of Steam price, wow that's an awesome price.
How is this possible? Or are you just joking?

selbst die jungs von bitcoin.de, die immerhin aus ihrer start-up-historie beträchtliches kapital im background haben, haben diesen plan verworfen.
die marge wird sowas nie und nimmer finanzieren.
Das Eigenkapital sitzt ja nur rum -- es ist ja nicht weg. Bei 125.000 € und einer gwünschten Eigenkapitalrendite von 10% müsste das Unternehmen 12.500 € Gewinn im Jahr abwerfen (etwas mehr als 1.000 € im Monat). bitcoin.de setzte laut bitcoincharts.com im letzten Monat 309.000 Euro um. Bei 1% Provision (0.5% vom Verkäufer und 0.5% vom Käufer) macht das 3.090 € im Monat. Das ist tatsächlich nicht wirklich viel. Ein Umsatz von etwas mehr als 36.000 Euro im Jahr rechtfertigt wohl wirklich keine sechsstellige Investition - es ist ja noch nicht mal die Servermiete bezahlt, von Personal und Steuerberater ganz zu schweigen. Dennoch wäre es hervorragend, gäbe es ein erstes von der BaFin anerkanntes Finanzdienstleistungsinstitut über dass mit völliger Rechtssicherheit Bitcoin gehandelt werden könnten. Ich glaube, das würde der Verbreitung von Bitcoins gut tun. Du vergisst, daß ein Finanzdienstleister uU in Sicherungsfonds und Versicherungen einzahlen muss - daß er gewissen steuerlichen Auflagen unterliegt... so echt "netto vom brutto" is da nix. zudem ist ja der witz bei bitcoin, daß es "peer to peer" und nicht zentralisiert aufgebaut ist. die beschränkung auf "offizielle, legale" und "vom system kontrollierte" handelshäuser ist da paradox, odernich? Bitcoin müsste locker 100mal so groß wie jetzt sein damit sich der aufbau eines "anerkanntes Finanzdienstleistungsinstitut" im BTC Handel rechnet. Aber wenn das schafbar wäre, hätte das vermutlich eine Kettenreaktion ohne gleichen zur Folge. Banken würden in 0 komma nix die möglichkeit für Zusatzeinkünfte entdecken und ihre Gier würde die ausbreitung des Bitcoin befeuern (warum Visa/Masterkard gebühren zahlen, wenn man % im Tausch gegen BTC selbs einstreichen kann?) Bald wäre es möglich von seinem Bankkonto direkt in seine BTC Wallet abzuhenbe... träum. Aber bis dahin ist es noch ein sehr langer weg und den wird es nicht ohne gegenschläge geben. Ich sehe das ganze positiv, mit einer klar definierten Rechtslage kann man arbeiten. Mit einer schwammigen Grauzohne nicht. |

Saw this study today, seems relevant to this thread:  Any more information about this study? When look at the outcome, I fear that's the kind of study where the result is already fixed and the questions are asked in the way to archive that goal. |

Wow! If you compare the English text to the German one you see just how bad Google translate is, I didn't recognize it before.
bitsire, please go through with you civil suit, not because you will see your coins again, but because, thanks to known identities, this is the first time we really have a chance on laying hands on scammers, an bring them to justice. By doing so we can crate an example for future scammers.
That it it bitcoin doesn't mean you get away with it.
Please hold back from threats, like hiring black marked guys.
Threatening peoples lives or health is a penal offense, even on a internet forum.

From the wiki article you linked to: According to Fausto-Sterling's definition of intersex,[79] on the other hand, 1.7 percent of human births are intersex Reading you own references helps. |

To be realistic, the few women in here is only a symptom of where bitcoin is operating.
There are still about 90% Geeks here. (Which I count myself to)
It would be interesting how many % of the people here are not working in some kind of IT-Field, or study something IT related.
I think it's still less than 25%.

The sex of 20 of the people in the poll is other. lol
Wait, bitcoin has only 1% more women than hermaphrodites? About 1,7% of humans are born hermaphrodites, we have over 5%. Why is bitcoin so interesting for this gender? Other includes trans-gendered people, not just hermaphrodites. Ok, that explains this. That means we are on average on other and have only very few women? Edit: Aren't trans-gendered people changing themselves to a specific sex and would at least consider themselves as male or female? I don't thing transgeder people would speak of themself as neither male or female. |

Here is how I make it:
I have my general Bitcoins that I save (not very much, though).
Everytime I want something for my Fiat, I look if I can get it with BTC somewhere. If I can, I buy BTC for Fiat and then buy the product with BTC.
It cost you nothing extra expect for a little time (you would have spend the money anyway) and this helps the BTC community grow.
Sadly, expect from a view games there hasn't been much that I could get, but this will change.

Hahaha, awesome: Naturally, the government's response was to print even more money in larger and larger denominations, finally culminating with the 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 pengo note (imagine a hundred quintillion dollar bill).
Also:  Love it. |

OMG! How cool! Sadly they don't ship outside US. And where do you get ammunition for those things. |

0.000152 BTC = 0.152 mBTC or 152 uBTC. The reference client already supports this.
Then we should refer to the mBTC as THE BTC coin and the wallet should list the mBTC as the coins contained. Meaning if you have 0.5 BTC you see 500 in your wallet. But this is missing my point. Do not think about this issue from a pure technical or mathematical solution. Yes, I am aware we can go down to 8 digits. Think about it from a Bitcoin mass-adoption perspective. Businesses, merchants, "regular" buyers and sellers are not used in calculating and dealing with 0.00xxx prices. I strongly believe that it would help Bitcoin adoption if most of the transactions will be priced in that sweet spot range of 10 -2-10 4. If you are using the standard client, you can already set it to display mBTC or even μBTC. So just set it in the way that you are the most comfortable with. Solved! |

It is not gaming the system but intelligent use of the system in place. I do not intend to lay it out to you here, but I do share ideas with those I sponsor!
Other than using an account whitch is a top level account, I see only the way to user your own reveals with bigger investments, to maximise you bonus. But that doesn't speed up payout only increase your profit. |

Das führt uns wohl zu der Frage ob man ein 'Recht auf Anonymität' in Bitcoinland hat.
Meiner Meinung nach nein, Bitcoins sind Geld. Da auf Anonymität zu pochen kann nur Illegalität (Betrug) oder Steuerparadies als Motivation haben. Beides finde ich nicht gut.
Stimme ich absolut zu. Der einzige weg wie Bitcoins jemals Mainstream werden können, ist wenn sichergestellt werden kann, dass sich Knotenpunkte, wie besonders der Umtausch in Fiat-Geld im Rahmen der Ges. Vorschriften bewegt. Zum Recht auf Anonymität, nein. Aber eine Pflicht auf Bekanntheit (was ist das Gegenteil von anonym?) ist auch nicht richtig. Die Nutzungsbedingungen eines Services nachträglich zu ändern, und das Geld von Nutzern einzufrieren es sei denn sie geben ihre Anonymität auf kann nicht der richtige weg sein. So etwas kann man nur für Zahlungen ab dem Zeitpunkt der Änderung einführen. |

Ich denke der Verkauf einer unregulierten Anlage, ohne Versteuerung ist bestenfalls eine Grauzone.
Bin mir auch nicht sicher ob das Konsequenzen habe kann und hoffe nicht, aber ich bin ja auch alles andere als ein Experte darin.
