Is that your picture in your profile? I always imagine an indignant teenage feminists voice raging against "whatever" when i read your posts.
See these videos for some background: http://youtu.be/Yh0AhrY9GjA http://youtu.be/KAVmF-dYv4UI get the same feeling though. The profile picture was well chosen. I wish i hadn't watched them dooglus. I'm feeling too old for this site tonight. I'm now going back into my bubble of meme-ignorance , please don't burst it again.

Wow, just read that whole thread, had to unignore QS to do it. QS i salute you. That was the biggest heap of tendentious hyperbole i've encountered on this site so far,my dear. You sure have got your panties in a twist with your obfuscation and avoidance tactics. Is that your picture in your profile? I always imagine an indignant teenage feminists voice raging against "whatever" when i read your posts. Your avoidance of answering a straight question has made me want to label you a scammer but ,fortunately for you, i'm not petty enough to do that without any proof,unlike some "holier" than thou types that infest this site. I however do not trust you and if asked my opinion about you by anyone i will tell them to avoid you like the plague. I would like to know, QS, if you see a conflict of interest by escrowing for yourself using a secret alt? A straight yes or no answer will do.

Why is Bitcoin forking?Satoshi’s plan brought us all together. It changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of us across the globe. Some of us quit our jobs, others devoted their spare time to the project, still others founded companies and even moved across the world. It’s the idea of ordinary people paying each other via a block chain that created and united this global community. That’s the vision I signed up for. That’s the vision Gavin Andresen signed up for. That’s the vision so many developers and startup founders and evangelists and users around the world signed up for. ... A long time ago, Satoshi put in place a temporary kludge: he limited the size of each block to one megabyte. He did this in order to keep the block chain small in the early days, until what we now call SPV wallets were built (‘client only mode’). As seen in the quote above, it was never meant to be permanent and he talked about phasing it out when the time came. In the end it wasn’t needed — I wrote the first SPV implementation in 2011 and with my esteemed colleague Andreas Schildbach, together we built the first and still most popular Android wallet. Since then SPV wallets have been made for every platform. So Satoshi’s reason for the temporary limit has been resolved a long time ago. https://medium.com/@octskyward/why-is-bitcoin-forking-d647312d22c1In Satoshis words i trust Thank's LiteCoinGuy, that link was worth reading.

Do you think Gavin has knowledge of who or how to reach Satoshi?
Go and read the white paper OP. It's all explained in there. Yes, If Gavin really,really needs to contact Satoshi then he has a BIT-light that beams a 3d Bitcoin image onto the sky and Satoshi will appear. Think bat light from Batman comic's and you'll get the idea.

As long as he/she is selling account's then i see a potential for "conflict of interest's" problem's arising. p.s. I don't actually care who the moderator's are and have nothing against Quickseller either. I'm just stating the obvious.

Back in the 90's there were people trying to start religions based on Ecstasy and Rave's. I'm in no doubt that sooner or later someone will try to start a religion about Bitcoin. Seem's to be a common thing for us human's to do. I've got a sneaky feeling that Satoshi has a great sense of humour too. 6 days and Genesis Block made me chuckle when i first read it.

Got my first bitcoin from LocalBitcoins. I met a German guy in a Starbucks in Scotland and traded face to face.

Funny to watch criminals arguing over who is the greater criminal.
Spot on nutildah. I read threads like these and i can't help but think that too. Some people are desperate to be "big" men on this forum. I find it all pretty pathetic.

I used to work in a casino dealing roulette and the casino was mostly populated by Chinese and asian men. Most of them worked in the local chinese/asian restaurants and rather than going for a beer when their shifts end(as the local Scottish population do) they would rather gamble. Different strokes for different folks. P.S Go into just about any Scottish town and you will find most high-streets are full of bookies and pubs. Drinking and gambling seems to be a common pastime of the working classes,wherever they live.

1 = I trust Gavin more then any one else in the current Bitcoin Community. 2 = I don't know who the fuck you are OP.

OR Maybe we could do like Satoshi envisaged and build giant centralised mining facilities in cold countries with abundant hydro-electric and geo-thermal energy.

I don't believe you. 35000 divided by 31.2 = 1121.7948718 So you thought someone would buy your BTC for $1121.79 each ? I'll sell you some BTC for the super cheap price of $1000 each. p.m me if your really that gullible.

Bitcoin hasn't merged with a fucking joke/meme coin.Any credibility LTC had evaporated with that decision. I sent all my LTC to the exchanges and have been arbing them ever since they merged.I will never keep LTC again. I'm only keeping Bitcoin from now on.All the rest of the shit coins are just a way for me to get more BTC by flipping them,repeatedly.
A merged mined coin doesn't mean anything Bitcoin has Namecoin, Devcoin, ixcoin, i0coin and groupcoin merge mined. Does this mean Bitcoin is a joke now? Fair point. Merged mined was the wrong words to use. I should have written " Bitcoin hasn't become associated in my mind with a fucking joke/meme coin. IMHO"

On my next date, I will wear a T-shirt with a QR code printed on the front. The QR code will point to one of the richest Bitcoin addresses out there now. I will print the following on my back " Do you like me now? " It will get me laid, but I will have a truck load of trouble when she finds out, I am not the owner. ^grrr^
BAD IDEA!!!! It will get you robbed more than likely.

I had to wait an hour and a half for the 1st confirmation earlier which was a bit irritating till i found this thread , but it wasn't really a problem. I hope someone learned something useful out of this.

Reminds me of a film that you all should see. "The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer" . He tries something very similar to achieve his aims in the film. Brilliantly devious ;-) A very clever film that might just show you how the magic really works.

This sounds like Nick Szabo's "High Powered Money" idea from his blog.

Spend some time reading the forum's archives about all the hacks,thefts and pure greed that's happened. I keep having to stop myself from necro-posting it,some of it is pure gold. I've not read of any cold storage wallets that have been set up correctly being stolen, yet. That's why i use cold storage now. I wouldn't keep any more than 1 BTC in a online wallet.
