Domain names mean everything. You're not going to go to a site jasdflkjsdalkfoie78f90asdujfklk328fd89vkjsdahflujah.com to buy anything it doesn't matter how SEO ranked it is.
Check out flippa...

Website    Price    Bids    Ending
Stimulation.com    $1,350    7    6 days
Stimulation.com Domain Name For Sale - Premium Domain - One Word!
mushroom.com    $1,200    5    29 days
MUSHROOM.COM - SUPER DOMAIN
Enemy.com    $2,000    4    29 days
Enemy.com Domain Name For Sale - Premium Domain - One Word!

3 domains, nothing on them selling over $1k each.

Yeah and that's because they have better names lol.
Most of the Internet hasn't even heard of bitcoin, not to mention its name in abbreviated form ('btc').

terms such as 'mushroom' and 'enemy' above are much more popular than 'btc' so they will sell for a lot more

I don't think the OP's domain is worth more than $10-20.

It's a lot easier to hid a gun than a car. And cars are useful on a daily basis. Sorry, but the car/gun analogy is so tenuously weak, that it isn't worth discussing.

Guns are also useful on daily basis you never know when you face a situation such as this one, where obeying the law will mean death:

Regarding my views: outside of this forum, they're pretty mainstream. Hang it with some different people for a change and you might discover this yourself.

Most people are lemmings hence so few of them lead meaningful lives or achieve anything.

The way I see it someone who can't afford 10 bux to buy a 4chan pass shouldn't even be spending time on 4chan, but do something productive instead like getting a job.

what are you expecting from a 4chan user?
a lot of them are high school students anyways
with limited employment opportunities (especially in some EU countries this is a serious problem)

So William Gibson is now spokesperson for why guns are manufactured?

So having devices which allow us to put holes in things at distances for recreational value is worth 12,000 lives per year? Do paintings kill 12,000 people per year? Does playing a violin put people in danger? Do R/C cars cause 12,000 people to lose their lives per year?

Your argument is desperate. Stupid. Comical. Pathetic. Without value.

Guns are only tools, you can ban them but you won't stop people from murdering each other with knives or screwdrivers.
UK is an example, even most knives are difficult to acquire and illegal to possess in a public place unless one has a good excuse (works as a butcher, etc.):

Guns are for killing. Nothing else. Unlike cars, trains, planes, knives, axes and lawnmowers.

So what? What's wrong in killing someone in self-defense or hunting for animals to gather food?

Price is governed by supply and demand (+ govt. intervention, which is why universities in UK charge no more than 9000 pounds sterling for EU students). With possibilities of learning online emerging - khan academy, coursera, open courseware, udacity etc., less people will by applying to ''normal'' unis.

3733  Other / Off-topic / Re: [POLL] Do you have a college degree? on: December 17, 2012, 03:21:57 PM
I wish.
I have a Computing diploma which I obtained to get me onto a Computer Security degree course that I've been working damn hard towards, but my University has recently kicked me out because I owe them just shy of £1000 in tuition fees out of the £6000 I have to pay per year, and given me till mid January to find the sums or be kicked out for good.

How on earth any University can expect any young, middle class, part time employed person to find that much money with no help or support from the government is beyond me.

Early twenties, dead end job, and on the verge of bankruptcy, I have little hope that I will ever gain a degree.

Pounds? If you are in the UK AFAIK you can apply for a cheap government loan with very repayment conditions (installments are paid only if you are employed and earn at least 21000 pound sterling per year).
But if you are studying in the UK and have come from outside the EU you might not get the loan.

I did not, although I was awarded a scholarship to MIT (not a joke) but didn't know of it until over two years later when I met my former math teacher in line at a Ben Franklin's (department store). She informed me that my parents, namely my dad, strictly informed the powers that be at the school that I was not going to college nor was I to be made aware of the scholarship's existence. The bottom line was that it would affect the bottom line of the household with five other siblings to tend to. He told them that I would enter the workforce as he did, working at a factory till retirement.
My SAT scores where 800/720 reflecting a perfect math score, and I aced the ASVAB test without studying (not available at that time I don't think) to enter the Navy. I'm one of the few that never served on a boat ship, for they had other plans for me.
In retrospect, I don't think I would have done well in college, mainly due to not being mentally prepared for the workload, although I was the nerd in HS who commonly carried ten books to each class through a maze of anti-nerds whose goal was to knock the books out of my hands. It's acts like that, I believe, that are prerequisites for some who become police officers.

Wow, I would've been angry if my parents did that to me. Is your opinion that you would not have done well in college your own or was it influenced by your dad?
3734  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can I be anonymous to my bank when buying Bitcoins? on: December 16, 2012, 07:07:30 PM
If you go through a bank your anonymity is lost. No exceptions.

Not necessarily. It is possible to have an account with a prepaid card only with a random name attached to it.

Alternatively, find a homeless person and pay them a little to set up an account with their ID.

Nice idea, but a homeless guy won't be able to open a bank account, because he has no proof of residence.
Anonymous bank accounts are sold for approximately 1.000+ €, depending on some extras (e.g. telephone banking etc.)
I do not recommend to buy anonymous bank accounts, why the fuck did you want one?
I mean guys, seriously, we do have a market section here, buy your Bitcoin there, it's in my opinion the safest way.
And in addition you don't commit "crimes" (e.g. creating fake IDs etc. to open up a bank account).

Homeless guy can open a bank account but it may be problematic in some countries. Alternatively, it can be simply a destitute alcoholic or a drug addict who has someplace to live in.
As for the ''anononymous bank account'' it is only the cost of a prepaid card, about 3.7€.

I agree. Nefario seems to be refunding everyone and providing accurate lists.

I do not think Nefario deserves the scammer tag.

Let him repay all the money first, then we can think about taking his scammer tag off.

I understand the need of 6 confirmations for bigger (XX XXX) transactions but it wouldn't hurt to change the number of confirmations to 1 or 2 for smaller transactions (<$1k).

Be glad the market isn't as fucked by the government as it is in San Francisco.  A medallion (license) goes for about 350K dollars.

About 190K Euro in Paris or wait for 17 years to get one for free Wink
