Seconding MSE, it's most totally excellent.  No loud noises, no annoying popups, no loud voices saying VIRUS DATABASE HAS BEEN UPDATED.  It just works and works quietly.

The DEA prides itself on big hauls and tends to leave small stuff to the locals. Success in their line of work is measured in kilos and tons.

I can see them making a bit of noise about SR crackdowns to discourage use of the site, but it's hard to imagine them dedicating a ton of technological resources to a relatively tiny number of people selling each other dime bags over the Internet.

I could be wrong, but it seems like it would be a waste of a lot of time, energy, and money for very little return. Granted, that statement could apply to all drug law enforcement.

That's exactly why they would do it, they need to justify their budget if they want to keep it.  Going after "a webring of drug dealing kingpins" goes over well in the press and in their budget review.

So now, we're going to 2.x again?  Roll Eyes

Very likely.  There will be less support this time since a lot of buyers got in on the last crash, and will still be holding, or selling to further fuel the downward trend.

The video was removed, but reading the description made it look VERY biased against the guy.

Also, he beat his daughter for doing illegal stuff. I think he is in his right as parent to do so. (I am not saying that I would do the same in this case... but I would not bash him either).

You should watch it before passing judgement and backing him up.

Watching cypherdoc get more and more frantic every day is pretty hilarious.  At least it would be if it weren't so sad.

I'm amazed i see this reaction. And  no one emails her but they bitch in public instead, on a forum she dosen't read herself seems ... like a waste of effort just to compain when it won't do any good

Why would someone email her to tell her she isn't their type?  I just close it and move on if I don't like it.  Not like telling her that will do any good either.

Look who didn't get the joke.  Did you hear the actual whooshing sound?

Why are you focusing on all these negative nellies Logan?  I'm still waiting for your business plan and market analysis, and income projections would be nice to see for any potential investor.  You can PM them to me if you wish. 
3573  Other / Off-topic / Re: Rochelle Hub Theater on: October 27, 2011, 04:57:24 PM
I'm sorry, SL?  Is that a corporation I'm not familiar with?  And yes, I would like to see your business plan and the results of the market analysis. 
3574  Other / Off-topic / Re: Rochelle Hub Theater on: October 27, 2011, 12:24:07 PM
I may be interested in investing, what's your experience in business/management, or do you have a portfolio outlining who you are and your previous accomplishments?  Do you have a business plan, income projections, or a market analysis of the town the theatre is in?

6/7 days up.

You have a ridiculously short memory. Up from...$2.5? Nice. Good luck recovering your losses. What you buy at, $28?

Not only that, sold his gold to invest in btc.  True believer bagholder right here.

lol at comparing bitcoin to folding.  You guys are hopeless.  Good luck with all that though.

You must have really cheap power to still be mining at these prices. 
Why should the current price matter if he's holding? Why should the price matter to enthusiasts at all? My computers ran SETI@home for over a decade, and no-one paid me for that.

It matters because if you are paying for your electricity bill, you are likely paying more to get btc than just buying them.  That is illogical. 

How much more will you pay for mining a bitcoin versus buying one?

I think it's conceivable that if the gap is not huge, some who already have mining rigs would rather pay a bit more by mining than dealing with getting funds into an exchange with the added benefit of securing the network and supporting the project.  Me for instance, though my mining "operation" is minuscule so whether I buy coins or mine them I won't pay much and won't get many coins either way.

Lot of factors, the current price of btc, your hardware, whether you actually bought the hardware for mining (lots did), whether you have paid off your hardware investment (lots havent), your heating/cooling situation, your electric rates, whether you actually pay your electric rates or not, hardware depreciation, premature wear and tear on hardware, I'm sure some other things I am forgetting.   

And if you are really using "securing the network and supporting the project" as an excuse, well illogical is an understatement.  If this were some small altcoin I could get that, but it isn't.

Will it take about 6-8 more months before it goes up above 4? I got in at $14.7, only in a few months it dropped to 2.

Did you sell at any point or are you still holding? 

As for the future, I don't see a significant rise until next year at this point.  It will bounce up and down for the short term, wiping out those who invested in the "bottom" or the following short term reversal of the past few days, which will allow it to fall even farther.  Future is uncertain as to whether it will recover.
