Why did Satoshi hide his identity? Has anyone seen Satoshi in real life? Is Satoshi one person? Or is it a community?
Because nobody else has the balls to say it, I will. You're a motherfuckin' asshole! By your post history it's clearly obvious that you start threads with this newbie account so to have a thread to reply to with your other accounts participating in sig campaigns. The basic questions you asked above could've easily been found via Google by a second grader, but here you are asking them in spite of knowing which way is up in this space according to your post history. TBC, in case you missed it because you may be as dense as a rock, GO FUCK YOURSELF! Bruno PS: Does anybody know what a blockchain is? EDIT:I used to think that too until Wright came along. Unless Wright is a fake. And where do you get 1.5 million Bitcoins from? That number keeps growing. The highest I've heard is 1.1 million, which is enough to crash Bitcoin if Satoshi ever decides to dump it all. Vlad's back on my radar. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

The article in question is at http://www.nasdaq.com/article/what-is-bitcoin-mining-cm736542. I've added the italics to the relevant section, below: The process of validating transactions and committing them to the blockchain involves solving a series of specialized math problems . . . Each Bitcoin miner is competing with all the other miners on the network to be the first one to correctly assemble the outstanding transactions into a block by solving those specialized math problems. One gets the feeling that the author doesn't understand the nature of those "specialized math problems." Until authors like this do understand the hashing process, I think we can conclude that bitcoin is a long way from mass acceptance. <re the forthcoming reply I could've quoted any of the to-date replies to the OP opting for the latter> I'll agree with your sentiment including the use of hash function (in lieu of) you've later offered up given that this wasn't published in the likes of Reader's Digest. This was on NASDAQ's official site where assumedly their reader base has a higher amount of education under their belts unless, that is, they're catering to uneducated Investards, then I stand corrected.

Jesus man, I appreciate a bit of political humour but what you're posting just isn't funny.
"Haha, look here's some ugly ladies wearing pink hats, don't they look silly!! And I don't want to have sex with them, because they're silly and ugly, and old, and are wearing pink hats with ears!"
Well yes, they do look silly, but I don't understand why you need to throw some sort of sexual undertone to the argument. It's basically an ad hominem attack, and it's pretty low of you.
If you disagree with the protestors, then argue with them like a man, don't just say "oh well you're old and ugly and I don't wanna have sex with you so your opinion doesn't count..."
Like, I think most of these people are probably dumb but I'm not going to stoop to that level - If I disagree with them then it's on the basis of their opinion, not on their appearance... Grow up, dude.
I guess jokes from the other side out-trump my jokes, eh? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSL3JlifgS8&feature=youtu.be&t=24 See if you can spot the sign that reads, "Donald Trump's mom should have swallowed."Yeah, see that's quite funny. I would have laughed if I'd seen that sign. To be fair, like I said there were obviously a bunch of "dumb cuck liberals" (paraphrasing) out there protesting, but most of the protestors in that video actually have valid points. And the "reporter" was blatantly trying to bait them into looking stupid, although she didn't have many valid retorts to what they were saying. To be honest, she just seemed to be trying to get a reaction from people, trying her hardest to make them look stupid... There was a section where she was interviewing a guy who was obviously nervous about being on camera, and she didn't address his points at all. As an example, he says "don't you think that it's weird that Trump says one thing, then says the opposite - he's both on one half and then the other half" So his point is, Trump says one thing, and then backtracks and says the opposite (which he has done many times). And her answer to that is "Don't you think that's better than him being "ultra-conservative"". Well yes, but that doesn't excuse him from not having a clear policy on something, which a president of America should have. And then she bitches about people stepping on some "private grass". Well boo fucking hoo. That whole video made the protestors look a lot better than the reporter, IMO. Whatever man, I'm quite happy to make fun of both sides of this horrifically polarized electorate, but the jokes need to be funny, otherwise I'm not interested. Forgive me for addressing your last point mainly. By this poster's reply, he seemed to think that my jokes were funny - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1760280.msg17597887#msg17597887 - ergo it's subjective. Dude, I don't desire to get into a pissing match with you considering that your posts have [some] validity along with being well framed. TBC, I do have issues, some major, with President Trump even though I lean more toward his party. Likewise, I've never highly spoken ill of President Obama nor has the N word ever crossed my mind while speaking or thinking about him. In fact, I'm on record in stating that if I were holding an audience with him and some nutcase starting popping, I'd do my best to take a pop while acting as a human shield in protecting my President regardless how I feel about his policies. That said, please accept this thread as humor only in spite of it not tickling your funny bone, bud. Truth be told, some of those chicks pics above I've referred to as cows would not be kicked outta my bed for chewing their cud. Later, bud. Bruno

In ordinary cases, this would be the classic example of cartelization. However, in this case, transaction fees have been proposed after the PBOC did spot checks on the exchanges. The government seems to have gently nudged them. So who do you go to if you want to complain against these exchanges?
I'd say that a gentle nudge doesn't result in ALL three changing their websites on a SUNDAY night to reflect the same exact 0.2% trading fee starting Tuesday. Collusion, yes. A mandatory nudge, not outside the realm of possibility. A gentle nudge, no. Apologies for crowing so loudly, but rumor has it that in some part of the world The Year of the Cock starts next week. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2F31.media.tumblr.com%2Fff643712e5d3c65a2e913b2a3cc54ff6%2Ftumblr_mx9mboB5MO1s02vreo1_250.gif&t=665&c=vSySYpp8aqCN-w) "Here I am petting my friendly cock.

Hes not that kind of dude u wanna talk to. I believe you are smarter than what you've just said. Unless you think I'm wrong.

All three at the exact same time need to have a minimum of a 0.2% rate by noon on Tuesday. I think we'll see a lot less volume from Chinese exchanges starting.... NOW!
That's in 6-1/2 hours. Get your money out now! Anyway, one of my pet peeves is when a person claims that there is market manipulation without being able to explain exactly how the market is being manipulated.I concur! Fuck them Chinese regulators claiming that the Chinese cryptocurrency exchanges are manipulating the market sans explaining exactly how the market is being manipulated, forcing the exchanges to now include a transaction fee while the exchanges' principals remain mute on the subject with the exception of, "Our bad! We'll play nice now." Anybody who believes that Bitcoin's recent meteoric rise from ~$700 USD to $1,100+ USD prior to the even quicker freefall on the Chinese exchanges can even be remotely contributed to market manipulation are fuckin idiots. I'd say that them same idiots adamantly believe that three steel-framed high-rise buildings collapsed at freefall speed caused by two fuel-laden, non-lumbering jumbo jets on 911, safely discarding the general consensus by the lunatic fringe that a conspiracy was in play via connecting hundreds or thousands of unrelated dots in advancing their weird-ass theory. That said, visit the link in my sig to learn about entering into contract with Hashing24 so to cloud-mine bitcoins, paid regularly via BitFury's newly created mined blocks which nary have been spent for over a couple months now, hence your investment is secure from nefarious activities [in Hashing24's pocket, whoever they are].

Is it true Donald Trump gave these women more exercise marching in one day.

i'm planning to invest on this coin thru trading but as i saw the price on it's current exchanges is not worthy to invest and i believe it should be much higher than it's recent price, it also needed some good exchanges, it will be die just before it blooms on the current exchange where it listed. try C-CEX or yobit or even bittrex and polo.
Me also planning go to investment but before going it want to more focus Oro coin.Just takes a look whats going on also waiting such of well known exchanger that OP mentioned in his post.Hope all smoothly going and ICO will success. Will keep an eye on this threads how will progress OroCoin. I don't get it! A second person espousing loving ORO but opts to wait for the price to rise prior to making an initial investment. Let me guess, before you approached the first girl in high school who you considered beautiful, you waited till ten other dudes fucked the living shit outta her prior to you finally obtaining enough nerve to ask the bitch out to Taco Bell. How close am I?

Yes, the three chinese exchanges manipulated a lot.Thats why they didnt charge their customers any trade fees these much days. But after PBOC had a meeting with them and gave some guide lines to follow to avoid their country money going outside via bitcoin, the exchanges found no other way except charging fees of 0.2% per transaction.
So, either ALL three exchanges were operating on the up-and-up but were forced to charge a 0.2% fee to augment their profitable business model that doesn't including manipulating the market, or they were indeed manipulating the market as the main part of their profitable business model, thanking the regulators for the imposed fees so that they can garner revenue lost due to supposedly no longer manipulating the market, and if the exchanges were truly manipulating the market as the general consensus dictates, then why the hell were, and still are multitude of traders using the nefariously operated exchanges? They should be exiting the exchanges in droves prior to their eminent crashes hoping that their withdraw requests aren't delayed due to some server issue where the likes of Paul Vernon and Mullick need to drive to the likes of a Miami server center to rectify the situation while cohorts calm the masses not banned in respective chat rooms.

The Chinese are not bothered with all these Western opinions on anti-competitive regulations and so forth..
Yeah, but western people are concerned about it, hence this thread. China is holding back bitcoin adoption because the more people read about Chinese domination of bitcoin, Chinese market manipulation, Chinese government interference etc etc, the less likely they are to adopt it. It is only worth getting into cryptocurrency if it is genuinely decentralised. If it is going to be centralised, then you are better off with a centralised currency controlled by your OWN govt, whom you can vote out, rather than a centralised currency controlled by an opaque authoritarian govt on the other side of the world over which you have no control at all. Dude, I just wanna comment on your articulation elucidation. Bravo! Seriously, that's the type of prose we should be accustomed to by those participating in sig campaigns. Thanks for your carefully thought-out insight, bud. I guess these 3 exchanges are communicating to each other, they have the same problems and the same confusion. So probably they talk to each other and since they both does not charge fees, it is expected that at least they will have the same fees, making no one have advantage to one another. Probably a manipulation to others but it was been a practice of competing companies. They always have an agreement especially on charges.
Here in the US, such (in bold) is against the law. The Chinese are not bothered with all these Western opinions on anti-competitive regulations and so forth..

You can forget that argument dude. It doesn't work here. The people on this forum don't see that it's better to have currency controlled by a freely elected government. They would much prefer some psycho with a personal agenda (like Mark Karpeles) control their financial future. Personally, I prefer being controlled by a bald-headed dude donning a Pussyhat. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) <tell your wife I said hello, bud>

outrageous, but hardly surprising.
is there a list of those who did get pardoned & their crimes?
Thanks to John McCain not blocking my access to Google here in Arizona (else would've had to travel across the river to Nevada), mes found it: https://www.justice.gov/pardon/obama-pardons~ Unfortunately I didn't manage to find any life sentence in the list of pardons, so it's hard to compare to Ulbricht's case. As far as I remeber he ordered murders and torture operating the largest online drug market in the world at the same time, so considering to pardon him was a tough call. Jesus motherfuckin' Christ! I had to put on my underwear and swim the Colorado River to Nevada so to Google given that you, too, don't have access, hence the helping hand on my part. Full list of 64 individuals pardoned and 209 sentences commuted by President Obama: http://wgntv.com/2017/01/17/full-list-of-64-individuals-pardoned-and-209-sentences-commuted-by-president-obama/WASHINGTON – President Obama commuted the sentences of 209 individuals and pardoned 64 others Tuesday as one of his last acts as president.
According to the White House website, Obama has now commuted more sentences than any president in the country’s history, with a total of 1,385 including 504 life sentences, and he has issued a total of 212 pardons. Newflash: Sonny Vleisides is starting BFL backup. Preorder early and preorder often. Rumor has it that he's on a good track now, trying to put the past behind him.

What I learnt today: Don't invest in anything when the price is too low until it starts trading on some more betterer legacy exchange which I believe it soon will, hence the wait. In fact, it's probably best to purchase at its assumed peak with the belief that it'll go even higher, albeit such won't happen because it never has, but at least it'll look neat-o briefly in my portfolio used as a liner for my birdcage. Thank you, Crypto Girl.

It's pretty obvious that they reached an agreement, maybe motivated by pressure from the PBOC. Whie cartels are anti-competitive, I don't consider such an agreement to be market manipulation.
US AIR: Hello, United, what are you fares going to be next week, and don't tell the regulators that I called. United: US AIR, you're so funny! Log into the backend of our website for the answer as we do to check out your next week fares. US AIR: HEHEHE! You said backend. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) I guess the joke would've made more sense if I stated the cost of carry-on luggage fees oppose to fares.

http://mobile.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idUSKBN1570EZBTCC, Huobi and OkCoin said in separate statements on their websites late on Sunday that they will charge traders a flat fee of 0.2 percent per transaction. Exactly how does three independent exchange entities all pen on their respective websites Sunday night that ALL will be charging the same exact trader fee of 0.2%/transaction come Tuesday when formally ALL three formerly had a 0% fee in place sans communicating with one another? TBC, I already have a reply at the ready if the answer is that they communicated with one another. Think about it! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.makeagif.com%2Fmedia%2F12-07-2015%2FhdUdcF.gif&t=665&c=rZkNXcNgCUoOlQ) "Then by the power of ESP I got all three Chinese exchanges to start charging a 0.2% transaction fee unbeknownst to them individually that the other two legacy exchanges were going to do the same exact thing at the exact very same time, all under the watchful eye of Chinese regulators investigating if there's any market manipulation afoot."
