Why does XT have 12.7% of network - yet no mined blocks? Is it because the 12.7 are shill nodes without mining capacity? This is a real indictment against XT as it means they are trying to manipulate the appearance of adoption. What else do these XT proponents do that is dishonest?

does it have to be when you bought a bitcoin or when you mined it ?
mined it is OK by me - date? |

Altcoin section moderator here: Theymos is using censorship... Definition: Censorship blocks something from being read, heard, or seen. Source: http://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/censorshipGo look for the legal definition of constructively blocked, censored, et cetera. Theymos effectively blocks these discussions by burying them far away. Alts is an enormous cesspool of total shit. Nobody has the bandwith to sort through the mountains of trash there. Moving to the altcoin sections isn't blocking, it's literally clicks away. Regarding the /r/bitcoin subreddit, you are free to create another subreddit that doesn't delete BitcoinXT threads. Clicks away? It is a total noise factory. Nothing in there is useful. Alts is a garbage heap. Theymos doesn't like XT - so he dumps it to the garbage heap. to engineer his personal beliefs of Bitcoin - and XT is not the first time. You do know that this forum legally belongs to theymos, right? As such he can "engineer" whatever the hell he pleases and so far he's been pretty liberal about it. Legally belongs to him? Good. I didn't say he has a legal obligation - I am arguing that he has a moral obligation to avoid hindering discussions by turfing topics (dumping to alts) he doesn't approve of. He can engineer whatever he wants - OK. He just shouldn't be applying the delete button in response to his personal objectives and visions of bitcoin. Good that he owns the site - it comes with a bit social responsibility. When Theymos doesn't like something, he buries discussions of it to places where it isn't easily found. Yeah, clicking your mouse several times is such a hard task. Dude, Alts is a giant pile of shit - you can't find anything in there. Clicking your mouse? It has nothing to do with clicking the mouse. And you understand perfectly well what I am saying in this regard. This amounts to a form of censorship. See previous definition. See above He like to imagine 'oh, that's not true bitcoin - so I'll just stuff that over in alts'. And you go to the altcoin sections to see the threads. Big whoop. XT is bitcoin not an alt. btw, Mastercoin is bitcoin with some added protocol on top. It is not an alt. Moving threads to the altcoin section is not and will never be censorship. It is constructively eliminating the material by burying it deep in a noise bucket. |

It has a profound effect on the community. Censorship is wrong. Theymos as custodian of the largest platform on bitcoin should self impose restrictions on continued use of this technique.
For example, Mastercoin was worth $150M market cap and getting enormous attention. Mastercoin is added layer on TOP of bitcoin. It introduced some really useful new function - on top of bitcoin's blockchain.
Theymos didn't consider it real bitcoin. He moved the Mastercoin threads deep into the very noisy 'Alts' section. The community could no longer effectively communicate and organize. Mastercoin dissolved and disappeared immediately thereafter.
Theymos simply destroyed Mastercoin because he personally didn't like it.
Theymos does like XT. He considers everything outside his ideal - 'an Alt'. So, he invokes a kind of censorship to bury those topics.
It is a very dangerous part of our Bitcoin community that one man has his finger on the delete key and can silence large groups of people presenting important opinion - by merely declaring is 'Alts'.
Theymos needs to stop. - or be stopped.

Bureaucrats create more bureaucracy for the same reason that ticks suck blood, its their way of life, they are parasites
Then others have to waste time too, to comply or avoid the regulation. There are experts that claim that up to 80% of all the hours we work/spend are so called "useless work", and I tend to believe that.
TSA in American airports spend enormous amounts of money 'looking for bombs'. Recent tests showed more than 90% of test contraband easily passed into secure areas. TSA does nothing but make people think airports are secure. They sure as hell don't stop bad stuff from passing. While TSA is very annoying, they are not making an entire industry turn and put the US in the rearview mirror. I can live with TSA - dumb and wasteful as they are. Lawsky's Bitlicense made it clear to Bitcoiners - if you are going to do anything, don't do it in the US. You might just end up in a jail cell next to Schrem, Ulbrict or Shavers. Fuck |

All they will accomplish with stuff like BitLicense is emptying wherever the implant the license at off any Bitcoin ventures. Everyone is already evacuating NYC like if it was plagued by a virus. Ben ruined NYC from being the capital of BTC in the future. What a jackass.
That is not true, not everyone is leaving NY. Those who left/are leaving just thought that NY wasn't profitable/worthy to operate in. Yeah, it's not so black and white. Gotta say tho, I'm impressed to see some resistance for a change, instead of just bending over like business usually does. LOL! This guy (Comptroller Thomas Curry ) is brilliant - but far too late. http://www.coindesk.com/us-bank-regulator-calls-for-balanced-bitcoin-oversight/Lawsky already has heavy burdensome law in place - his flashlight is well up everyone's ass (ask Jaron) - companies (Xapo, Bitstamp, Kraken, many others) HAVE ALREADY LEFT!!, and now this guys says: " he called for regulators to avoid crafting overly burdensome rules that could stifle otherwise productive work on financial technology" LOL!!! American government. Idiots!! Laws against fraud work with Bitcoin - ask Trendon Shavers. Laws against money laundering work with Bitcoin - ask Charlie Schrem Laws against drug pushing work with Bitcoin - ask Ross Ulbricht Why does Lawsky think it is OK to crush small bitcoin operators with ridiculous expensive registration schemes - which do nothing but push good people out of NY and out of US? Holy crap. Mistake of the century for people in the US. Next thing they ought to outlaw TV remote controls. WTF? |

Please add your name to the list if you can say: I do hereby pledge not to conduct any bitcoin business within New York, with New York residents, nor with any business which does conduct such business. I will not pay an outrageous fee to join a government register which does nothing more than impose restrictive limits on my cryptocurrency activities in the name of government oversight. I hereby reject the BitLicense and all governments who bring such things.

damn no parole thats some shit
Now that he has been waking up everyday in the same cell he is going to spend the rest of his life and it is all starting to sink in, I wonder how he feels about everything. I'll bet it is now, for the very first time, that he is truly shitting bricks. Somehow denial protects you in the beginning. Not any more. |

This asshole Lawsky laid a very complex minefield of bullshit http://www.coindesk.com/lawsky-consult-digital-currency-nydfs regulations. Now, he wants to quit his government job and have you hire him so he can take tons of money from your company to navigate through the mines he laid!! Please don't hire this guy. Talk about abuse of a government job. I don't know what's he up to with this move, but boy, did he f**ck up in NY!! State of New York could have been a crypto and Bitcoin capital region of the world with all of the start ups and companies that would be located there and now they are all gone. What short-sighted moves did he make there, that's really unbelievable. And now to see that he wants to join Bitcoin community, this is really weird to me! except Jeron - he decided to stay and kiss their asses. His company will shrivel up and die try to suck up to Lawsky and the Feds. Otherwise sensible bitcoiners only see NY in the rearview mirror. Some people I know were setting up a massive operation in NYC just when all this hit, they as SOOOOO grateful they caught wind early and packed it up. Saved them a nightmare. Those who stayed in NYC - can pay the price. You just can't stuff an enormous regulation nightmare down the throats of tiny young technology companies. Lawsky is an idiot to think this was helping anyone. Oh well. History is done. NY is out as a Bitcoin option. |

For Beauregard, the BitLicense is about providing customer protection to people who are not actually requesting it. The regulatory framework, he said, was brought on largely by the failings of now-defunct bitcoin exchange Mt Gox.
In terms of long-term impact, Beauregard said the BitLicense would effectively drive bitcoin businesses out of New York and the US in their quest for more welcoming jurisdictions. "It is a shame to see government stomping on innovation at a time when many financial systems around the world are failing."
He concluded: "The US government and large merchants have shown they cannot effectively safeguard our personal and financial information. Now an invention [bitcoin] comes along that helps to solve the problem, and this BitLicense regulation seeks to carry on the legacy of failure to protect the very people it claims to be serving by applying the old rules to this new technology."
This is insane. Bitlicense is just an enormous flashlight being shoved up our asses by the government to find out if it is dirty up there. When people use bitcoin to launder money - bust them for that. When people use it to defraud, prosecute them for fraud. Why the hell put heavy steel shackle and chains on a tiny baby? The cops aren't having any difficulty going and finding the bad guys. Most of them are already in jail : Karpeles, Shrem, Ulbrict. Now, good decent law abiding companies are running from the US and going to bitcoin friendly UK. I've got a feeling NY is going to pay dearly for this very dumb move. |

The funny thing about Maidsafe is that so many of its advocates don't have a small clue about what it is. Fucking riot. Irvine is a mere swindler. |

Looks like the Jap cops are going to hit him for fraud. while I don't have a crystal ball, I think that dick deserves it. Japan should send him to the US where he'd get a real good long sentence and they'd put him in jail right away. Maybe they could put him in the cell right next to Ross the Pirate. In Japan, he'll be in the court for 8 years and then he'll only get 5 weeks of light scolding by an angry old lady. Cakewalk. http://www.coindesk.com/report-tokyo-police-seeking-fraud-charges-against-mt-gox-ceo/ |

It's obvious the government took control of the coin.mx twitter and spread misinformation that it was a domain issue, so no one would know about the arrests until later. https://twitter.com/coin_mx/with_replies I think it's quite possible the government let the site run for a little while after they took control in order to collect information on customers. This is good. They are actually trying to find the fuckers behind cryptolocker. Coin.mx was helping the Cryptolocker guys and the Fed is trying to get to them. Good to see Coin.mx get fucked. |

This crazy broad law means the FBI can put you in jail for 5 years anytime they don't like your business. Nearly every version of bitcoin business exposes its principles to 5 years of jail on the whim of the FBI. https://coincenter.org/2015/07/does-18-u-s-c-%C2%A7-1960-create-felony-liability-for-bitcoin-businesses/If you are going to start a bitcoin business in the US, it better be loved by Uncle Sam, the church and everybody - or you are going to jail. It is no wonder Wences, Vik Buterin, and hundreds of others have packed it in and left for Zug Switzerland. The Fed is truly going to run all bitcoin innovation out of the US. They already have a very good head start on that. |

A very strange thing will come from this. The largest group of most proficient bitcoin users - will be hookers. I thought nerds would always rule. Strange bedfellows. (pun intended)
