You haven't given any real information. People aren't going to pay you 5 btc for instructions on (for all we know) how to make grandmas chicken soup and sell it at a chain of chicken soup stands.

Chicken Soup Stands?!?! Hot dog, we're gonna be rich!

Maybe in the title...(of the book "What ruskihitman wishes he had, and how he stole a small part of it (.5btc)")

Don't make me screenshot it scammer. At least proof your scams...

Awww did I hurt your fewwwings? I'm sorry, dear.

I am patron...of the "it's the 21st century I'm sorry I'm not the most PC." Can't help if I use the superlatives with those who seem like they need them.

Call me a dick, or a prick, or a mofo (with or without uplift party plan). Rolls of my non-virtual shoulders....because I try not to get insulted by darkened pixels.

Who's offended? Or insulted? It was hilarious. Still didn't top Whorish Oriental Despot though Wink

Lemonginger. Not you...cheerio from lectern.

I'd agree...my once-over just gives levity to (all politics or nothing). At least you have a sense of humor...like a cat who's caught a mouse, after eating a nice medium ribeye.

Hi, my name is ruskihitman. I came across an investment that anybody can get into,
no need for any type of wall-street accounts or trade accounts. No min. buy in.
This investment has potential to turn $1.5k in to $3 this is on the higher end scale. On the low end
$10k, highly unlikely. I came across this investment on another forum and paid quite a high sum for the information.
This has to do with a physical item that you can buy and will receive in the mail. The investment will pan out
the only question is when, and how much of a ROI.

Now i will charge 5 btc for said information, first person to pm me will get it for .5 btc. I would really hope
this information does not get leaked since i will use the some of the btc to reinvest in the btc economy and i would think
all of you want it to succeed.

It's all in the post --> to turn $1.5k in to $3.

You get $3 when someone sends you the $10 Burger King gift card and you sell it to your drinking buddy.

Still...the only retort is ad hominem. That's political :-)

And it's yet another to over-post in an attempt to sound "useful."

it sucks that lofty, theoretical discussions disturb some people.

That's kind of the point- do you want it to stay theoretical?
Yes, and no.
Quote

The Bitcoin politicals seem divided into two camps, the hardcore academics who understand the underpinnings as well as the history of their ideology, and the "You're not the boss of me!" "I don't need you, I don't need ANYONE!" crowd who just likes to have a label to make teenage angst seem more credible.

That's your perspective of who the "bitcoin politicals" are. Seems subjective (is it just black/white, really?).
Quote

The serious, academic political types here realize that these "lofty, theoretical discussions" have been going on for a hundred and fifty some-odd years with little to show for it and what is needed at this point is not more talk or navel gazing- but credible proof. They reasonably think that a successful Bitcoin simply by nature of how it will function, illustrates their beliefs better than any book or explanation.

A lot longer than that, dear. Given the rash generalization of the academics, seems like you might not know enough of them. Bet you they swing both ways, if not more.
Quote

It's one thing to point to your books and say a structure is unnecessary, it's another to have a successful system in place that proves it so.

Collaborative dialogue is always useful and necessary, with or without any real implementation. Things change, sometimes too fast for anyone to do something else about it.

A forum is a motley assortment of crazy characters, only some of which fall under any definition.

Political musings related to bitcoin are both vital and extraneous. Innnnnnnn the end, just keep the little section for politics, and if you feel it's not enough, then you do more about it. If you feel it's too much ignore.

$1M is nothing for AMD.

Do they even care about mining? I'm sure its a "trend" on their analysis, and that's about it.

I though they made GPGPUs and CPUs, not SHA-2 chips....

Crash of the exchange/rate will only be when your client says "0 connections", and so does everyone else's.

Lol

If bitbills don't work for you, be patient. Once you get "the mark," btc will be uploaded straight to your dome, or your hand.
52  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is bitcoin legal? Not according to U.S. government on: June 17, 2011, 12:41:02 AM
Fine fine, I'll be more friendly.

OP, see references to any one of many "substitutes of money/value/transactions", like

Disney Dollars
Gift Cards
Fun Money
Fiat Currency
Monopoly Money
Poker Chips
Casino Credits
XBox Live Points
Ithica Hours
BerkShares
T-Bills
WoW Gold
Debit Cards

And ask yourself, "how many of these have been ruled illegal, and their creators cast into mythical dungeons," and "how does bitcoin differ from these," and "do I Wikipedia objectively?"

Well, Walt Disney maybe in some kinky dungeon, but it was his choice.

30% discount to the daily low in order to book a reservation?  Why would anyone do this as opposed to selling the coins and paying in cash?

Someone's a "hoarder"...

but anyway,


+1 for the BTC use...I see mouse ears in someone else's future :-)

Yet another noob unaware of how crime actually works (or how this btc thing works), or what something like chauming blinding offers.

What are Disney Dollars?
 
      Disney Dollars are a form of corporate scrip or tokens or currency used at Disney theme parks, the Disney Store, and at one time certain parts of Castaway Cay, the Disney cruise-line's private island. It is worth dollar for dollar.  Being backed up by real money...

-DisneyDollars.net


So n00b, what's the difference?
56  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Criminal Wallet Address Database? on: June 15, 2011, 09:31:51 PM
Infeasible.

Why wouldn't [the criminal] launder it? Why wouldn't [the merchant] accept it?

You might be able to "taint" the chain, but given the network, infeasible.
 

The criminal could launder it to another account, but all the transactions that are made from the account are known... so it will also be known what addresses the bitcoins are sent to from the fradulant account as well. The individual who stole the funds would eventually be pinpointed. Also... if it's known the address stolen funds are associated with, merchants could decide to refuse business if they want.

But yeah, obviously, there would be a lot of problems with application. Just trying to think of a way to address theft.

It seems to me preventing abuse would be very, very difficult.

I agree with this, I was just putting ideas out there.

Well, at least we you don't know what laundering is, or how it works here in btc land.

That's a complete misrepresentation of what he's saying.


The "structural issues" are that many of the unemployed are not getting their jobs back because those jobs were lost to machines, not a bad economy.  That's a structure issue.  He's not saying that evolving technology is an issue.  Roll Eyes
The fact he thinks it's an issue -- structural or whatever -- is the issue.

And the fact you don't is the bigger issue.

Productivity, via this awesome technology, has not been FORMALLY factored into labor-related issues. See "Productivity Paradox."

Put it this way (and the way AyeYo puts it), say I make some awesome critically-thinking Watson like AI. From that point on, you're useless. What are you going to do then?

He is different from you. You don't get it, where he knows something's gotta happen (and he knows it'll make your Grandma cry).
59  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Too late to start mining? on: June 15, 2011, 08:20:12 PM
Yes, it's too late to start mining unless
...

People have been saying this for months now.  Yes, it's getting harder and harder to generate blocks of bitcoins, but being that bitcoins are by nature deflationary, the value should be going up as well

Your statement requires you to "put your money where your mouth is."

As this is the n00b forum, and you're a n00b, you might want to check out the awesome mining calculators that exist; put in the numbers you think will happen. Good luck...

or

Just admit you're a late adopter (relative to those who are not), and invest.

The two cases I'd recommend attempting to mine: 1)If you needed a graphics card for gaming and were going to buy one anyway, it might not hurt (the economic value is different then. Also, notice I didn't say rig.). 2) You know the "f" what you're doing.

After 12000 blocks, the name expires (all dns records have an expiration date, after which the record is not valid). It can be updated and reset; that costs .01 NC.
