If only he were a vampire, then when he dies, the entire WBC would wake up and realize the error of their ways and stop being shitty human beings.

It's not that bad an idea, but it attracts the wrong kind of people. Upwards of 90% of the stories are either extremely boring/unoriginal, or obvious lies. Recent examples:

Quote
Today, on my way to Burger King I got into a heated discussion with my wife about our cats. We have 15 rescues, and I've reached my limit. Guess what came running up to my car while waiting in the drive thru? We named him Pickles. FML

Quote
Today, I was texting an artist friend telling her I wanted to buy her paintings; going on and on about how much I wanted it and loved the way they looked and couldn't wait to have them. I realized my phone had corrected paintings to panties. FML

Quote
Today, a crazy woman grabbed my hair and mentioned how lovely it was. She then asked when I would donate it. I told her I didn't want to, at which point she started yelling that she was going to get some scissors and cut it all off to teach me a lesson. FML

Quote
Today, the snow in my backyard melted, revealing just how much dog shit accumulated underneath it this winter. FML

These are slightly cherry picked, but they're all from the current front page.

care to describe a little more about the prize Huh i mean what's so special about that paper wallet,  there can be a malware to backdoor Trojan binded along so please describe Huh
How do you expect they would store a trojan within a private key?

Sure, they could just steal the coins, unless they ask for an intermediate code which would let them create the wallet for you and have the private key encrypted with a password only you know.

Anyone who trusts the federal government to do anything right deserves whatever they get. No presidential administration has had any transparency in a long time, and I doubt any will for a while.

46  Economy / Speculation / Inflation, deflation, and adoption? on: March 20, 2014, 02:40:25 PM
Currently, Bitcoin is inflationary because of miner rewards. This is offset because of adoption, so the price tends to go up over time.

As block rewards get smaller, the price should rise even without further adoption, or rise even more with further adoption, correct?

Does this mean that, even if only 10 times as many people are using Bitcoin by 2020 compared to now, the price should be more than 10 times as high?

A few times I've had a full bitcoin, and every time I manage to lose it or spend it on something(s) pointless.

Don't screw up like me.

It's nice to see so many other members spend so much of their energy attempting to defame me with inaccurate statements.  Just reassures me that I'm doing the right thing.
Regardless of whatever you're talking about, you owe squall a metric fuckton of BTC and haven't made even the most meager attempt to pay him back. Meanwhile, you're begging people to take your money in exchange for a hopefully-viral video?

I wouldn't call it "defamation"; there's no dispute that you owe squall, and I don't believe there's a dispute that you aren't paying regularly.

Except for the whole "he is not making the agreed payments" and "haven't made even the most meager attempt to pay him back" while I'm currently paying him back every month like we agreed to do.

Sir, please get off your high horse, squall is not complaining so I don't see why you and vod and everyone else feels the necessity to attack someone with false statements that you have no business with.


Revolution, I received a 75 BTC loan from squall back in 2012, when it was worth around $10/coin.  I got screwed for a couple transactions, two $500 ones and was not able to come up with the money to pay squall back.  I paid back 23 BTC of the loan.  Since then I have agreed to make monthly payments within reason of what I can do and even though I have been paying squall, some people feel it is their duty to stalk me online with defamatory posts even though I am making said payments squall and I agreed upon.
If you're making minimum payments, that's fine, but it's not the impression I got from the thread in scam accusations.
But regardless of the minimum payments, wouldn't it be nice to put the majority of your spare BTC toward squall and have your scammer tag removed that much sooner, instead of questionably beneficial things like this?

You're probably downloading from a server with a poor upload speed.

What my ISP claims: 30Mbps/30Mbps
What I really get: 9Mbps/0.5Mbps

Most things are actually faster with a VPN though, which makes me pretty goddamn suspicious of throttling/etc.
Why can't there be a decent ISP like Charter where I live? ;_;

Wall Street. That is the root to most evil in the world.

What does Wall Street have to do with murderers and child pornographers?
Of course there are other evil people in the world to. But Wall Street affects the world more than random murders and child pornographers.

That still doesn't make it the root to all evil.
Better?

Nope. I'd say that's money  Cheesy.
Money isn't the root of all evil, the lack of it is  Wink

Obviously security is important, but you can't just focus on that and call it a day. You'd need more than one of these qualities to be focused on if the ATM is to be successful.

I distinctly remember waking up in another room once when I was ~8, which I assume was the result of sleepwalking, but it hasn't happened since then.
54  Other / Meta / Rank signature rules? on: March 19, 2014, 11:00:28 PM
Are different ranks (Jr. Member, Member, Full Member, etc) given different restrictions in signatures? I've noticed that the paid signature I have always seems to show up red on Full Member and up, but blue on Members. Is this just a coincidence, or do Members and under have colors removed from their signatures?

this fact evidently shows that government is just afraid of it
Afraid of some tents and tables? They might not like it, but any harassment they face is bound to be because of the fact that it's a homeless reservation, not because of Bitcoin.

I don't have very much money so I don't know how much I could pay.  I was hoping to make this as a collaborative effort, my goal is to release something that will invoke critical thought into the viewers in an appealing way as to increase potential of virality.

I plan on releasing a couple albums for free but if possible would produce hard copies and distribute them as means of accepting donations for the cause.  I would have no problem sharing the income this endeavor may enable.

The goal is to move society towards family based ideology, I was hoping someone with a similar mindset would be able to help in their spare time.

I'm still thinking about details of the video.  Really it would come down to the designer's abilities, but I was thinking something more abstract whether it's footage, a cartoon or abstract renders.  The song is TBD, I'm going to work into making a perfect song for the video while most other songs I have produced within a day.

Just looking to promote peace through these rough times humanity is living through, a simple video could go a long way.
How about instead of spending money on attempts at viral videos, you pay your debt?

Trying to ease the guilt brought on by all their ill-gotten money by giving it away instead of returning it to its rightful owners?
What did they do?

I mean how did they earn those amounts? Aren't they legit?
The company itself is legit, but they had some questionable business practices early on. When they were first starting to sell ASICs, there were backorders of over a year, and they didn't allow refunds. Many people saw this as more or less a scam, because being there first is extremely important with ASICs (you could make back double the cost of the ASIC in a day with any luck, but only for the first few days that ASICs were out. The site said orders could take "a month or more" (which hardly implies "12 to 24 months").

As far as I know they've caught up now, but a lot of people spent thousands of dollars on miners that ended up making them a miniscule fraction of that.

No matter what, I would learn Python.
From there, if you want to do web apps, Javascript and Ruby would be good to know.
If you'd rather make desktop applications, you should learn C, which can be used on all platforms. You might like Java, which also works on all platforms, but some such as myself strongly dislike.
