I cashed out of GLBSE a long time ago. It seems my instincts (and the push I was given) were right once again.

I've survived bad investments, pirate and other things with a nice profit. GLBSE might be another near miss.

The reference client should just be on dedicated miners that get paid to do their job.

Dreams aren't usually consistent since they rely on the subconscious and memories. Why are these so consistent in a specific scenario (death)?

It's shit like this. They want every user to be a verifying node regardless of their technical proficiency and what the end user wants out of Bitcoin.

When a user complains about the program using excess resources while being verifying node, the devs and some others often strikeback with a sense of entitlement "You should help out. If you don't like it, leave. Come back when the tech is better."

The tech IS better guys. There are thin clients and ewallets that resolve this but you deride them and continue to work on a vision of software nobody wants. It's rather limiting for Bitcoin as a whole. Can you imagine how many people have dumped Bitcoin because Bitcoin-Qt/Bitcoind continues to be a slow, overburdened pain in the ass?

It's very clear: This desktop-based vision for Bitcoin is one of Autism and general lack of ingenuity.

I want a community focus on this common phenomenon.

What do you feel is the explanation of many people claiming experiences of floating above their bodies, surrounding areas and phenomenon, and hearing it as well; while being clinically dead? What's the explanation for the common tunnel of light effect that's experienced shortly after an out-of-body experience?

Some say it's the dying brain waves producing hallucinations but why would the hallucinations be so common and consistent?

This argument was more incoherent than the concepts he derided.

"You don't own your self because that would require you to have control over yourself and your actions."

That's literally what he argued. Whatever this guy is smoking, it's pretty strong.

We can just use feminine terms such as "she" by default.

Can I have a douchebag tag?

That was a one month auction.

Hard fork and your coins aren't recognized by most as Bitcoins. No, that solves nothing. It appeases the developers but not people who want to use their money on their terms.

A fork works well for Linux when you get the same experience afterwards. That's not the case for money.

Nobody wants to deal in a unrecognized currency. That is not a choice. That's a cop-out.

Luke is still pushing his own idea of a symbol on wikipedia. It's getting silly.

Maybe to you and your browser configuration but nobody else sees it.

People will hate you and it's a beautiful, wonderful thing.

The exchange rats are vastly different. Additionally, the US Dollar stole the $ sign from other countries. It's just how it works. Things will sort out.

The Silk Road and other major retailers are using this sign. It can't be escaped.

Many currencies used already existing symbols. We don't need anybody's permission to adopt the Thai Baht.

Good luck!
