401  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [ETC] Ethereum Classic: Immutable Smart Contracts on: September 06, 2016, 06:28:48 PM
I didn't agree to a contract where anyone can take the funds at their whim. I agreed to a DAO that would have been used to kickstart new projects and the like.

I realize that the fault lies with everyone who opted into the DAO. As the rules where the rules, however, it can be argued that someone needs to have extensive knowledge in programming to have vetted  that contract. Normally with conventional contracts one would hire a lawyer to go over it, then if anything goes bad you sue your lawyer for giving bad advice. I wonder if we who lost money in this venture can sue the company that vetted the code?

Even IRL it would probably depend on what your actual contract with the lawyer was and I bet they would cover their ass in every way possible.

The lesson learned from the DAO should be this: don't enter into a contract that you can't vet yourself. Otherwise what's the point of "smart contracts" if you still need to hire a lawyer AND a programmer to sort it out for you.

This wasn't like buying a house or something that you could call a "necessity". Just the typical greed+stupidity that accompanies most crypto "investments", plus a good dose of exuberance. Deadly combination.


You're missing the point.

Why would anyone use a smart contract if there was no guarantee that their money is safe? People will continue to just use banks and lawyers. You're right, why enter a smart contract you cannot vet for yourself. So with the current situation Eth/Etc is stuck and likely will go down, nobody will be using smart contracts unless they are insured.. This needs to be solved if we really want to attract the masses.

Money supply

The total number of bytes is 1015, all bytes will be issued in the genesis transaction. Since the fees paid are returned into the circulation, the money supply will remain the same.

1 Quadrillion coins is a little much don't ya think? Forget about BTC and LTC markets. Doge markets is where this one will be traded..such wow.

1,000,000,000,000,000

Only 1000 ETC? Surely he can do better than that. He "earned" millions from the "hack" and that is all he can spare? That is funny. I cannot see how this is big news. Also there is the bigger problem. What does he intend to do with all his ETC now that he has full control of it? Not to dump on the market I hope. It would be nice to have an official statement from him.


Hackers are Bad guys. What ever the reason is, taking someone's property without consent is nothing but stealing. And we are expecting nice thing from a hacker ??

He had consent. Everyone who sent to the dao consented to the terms of the contract. That contract had an actionable clause in it allowing for him to make a withdrawal. Hes not a hacker. He was exercising his rights as per the terms and conditions of the contract that everyone agreed to.

I didn't agree to a contract where anyone can take the funds at their whim. I agreed to a DAO that would have been used to kickstart new projects and the like.

We all seen building 7 get demoed. The owner was on TV after and said that they got everyone out and pulled it.

BBC reported that building 7 had collapsed 34 minutes before it happened. This proves someone feeding the talking heads had foreknowledge of the event. i.e. it was planned and the plan was executed 34 minutes late. or.. the info was released on purpose so that people would see this for what it truly is. A planned attack by people that have influence over the media. And that's not Muslim terrorists.

I don't think its in our genetics to be corrupt. Genetics are just the code to building your body. Corruption is something that is learned. Since we are not born with knowledge then it cannot be in our genes.

Do you smirk when you hear someone question the official stories of Orlando, San Bernardino, Paris or Nice? Do you feel superior to 2,500 architects and engineers, to firefighters, commercial and military pilots, physicists and chemists, and former high government officials who have raised doubts about 9/11? If so, you reflect the profile of a mind-controlled CIA stooge.

So you're comparing 9/11 to the Orlando bar shooting and the couple that shot up some co-workers? Like that never happened before 9/11.. duh. You sir are the CIA stooge.

Are you the new breed of conspiratards that automatically believe everything is a false flag because some fat guy on youtube says so?

I dont know if global warming is just to wash our heads to decrease human population which America wants to control the world.In whole Europe America was built HAARP system and now they are building in Norway biggest very big HAARP system to make earthquakes and other  crazy bad wheathers.In my country every year plants grow more slowly I think that isnt because of global warming it is 100% because of American HAARP system.

Plants are growing slower here too. I attribute that to the spraying program that's in place to stave off global warming. It's changing our soil and making it harder for plants to uptake nutrients.

The so called war on drugs has been waging now since 1971 when Nixon declared the 'war'. The war still goes on.. and on.... and on...... guess what, you lost and can't come to terms with the truth. So you appoint psychopaths to deal with the problems. The Germans did the same thing after WWI. Look where that got them.

The problem with the war on drugs is the pushers in the governments that keep pushing this war agenda. The solution is clear. Decriminalize/Legalize and regulate. Alternatively, kill 100,000 and keep killing for the years to come.


Its what they do this time. The previous goverment almost legalized it and now its time to regulate and its just worse for those in the drug business for a paychopath is about to kill them massively.

I'd be happy to just  put them all in a mass grave actually or just feed the dead bodies to the croc farm but thAt isn't very christian. Lucky for them they still getto have a proper burial.

So we should kill poor people? The only reason they take drugs is because they have nothing else. I have never been poor to the point where I can't buy food to feed myself or my family. I couldn't imagine the amount of stress that could cause someone. Most of them are likely very depressed and have other mental issues because of the failure of their corrupt government.

The Philippine government needs to fix itself from the inside first. I just don't think its possible for them to do so since everyone within that government is corrupt.

"Odicta and his wife, Merriam, met with Interior Secretary Mike Sueno on Thursday to deny their alleged involvement in drug trafficking.

During the meeting at Camp Crame in Quezon City, the couple allegedly submitted their version of a ''drug matrix'' involving lawmakers and local officials."

So after they blew the whistle on the governing body they were executed by the same people.

Like I said before, the prez and top officials in the Philippine government are all in on the take. They are all criminals and need to be prosecuted. The Philippines is beyond corrupt I would call it a failed state. The US needs to move in and clean up.
412  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Black man shot dead for not holding door open for woman on: August 31, 2016, 08:53:12 PM
In a tragic preclusion of male privilege, Mohammed Robinson, a 31 year old father of two, was shot dead in Las Vegas for failing to hold the door open for a woman.

The woman complained to her male companion, who retaliated by drawing his weapon and proceeding to shoot the black male.

Robinson's 14 year old daughter spoke on the issue:

“It was a stupid reason, honestly, irrelevant. It doesn’t make any sense why would you actually take someone’s life over not opening a door,”, Miniya Sampson told the press, “It’s horrible. I want my dad back and you took him away from me!”. Her best friend reportedly witnessed the shooting.

Police are still looking for the suspect, hoping that the surveillance footage from McDonald's will give them some leads. However, there isn't much to be expected, since the perpetrator was a white male.

When they do catch the guy who did this then I think he will be regretting listening to women. lol.. what an idiot. While he spends the rest of his life in prison, sucking dick for a pointless crime his babe is gonna be sucking dick too, just not his.

From reading this article it looks like the Philippines has been taken over by ISIS.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-37172002

Government sanctioned assassinations of drug dealers and users.. meanwhile..

"Mr Duterte describes it as a pandemic, afflicting millions of his fellow citizens. It is also very profitable. He has listed 150 senior officials, officers and judges linked to the trade. Five police generals, he says, are kingpins of the business. But it is those at the lowest levels of the trade who are targeted by the death squads."

If he isn't targeting the kingpins of this problem then he either has zero power or more likely he is in on the drug trade and getting a cut.

Sure why not. But not here, possibly on another planet similar to ours. Perhaps with different conditions that would allow such a species to evolve into giants.

I'm from Canada and think that bringing in refugees is the humanitarian thing to do. We took a bunch of em, I think 30,000 or so is what our PM brought in. If he didn't these people could be dead or dying now.. stopping them at your borders is evil. Put yourself in their shoes, how would you feel if you and your family was turned away from a peaceful country? The only place for you to go is back into a war zone with your children. Now that is evil.

Oh your scared, well fuck you. Grow some balls. You can't send people, women and children to their deaths because you are scared.

IoT is just internet enabled devices. Like the new Fridges that tell you when you are low on food. Like someone can't open the fridge door and look.. lol

So why do we need IoT enabled devices? So Russian hackers can have complete control? no.. So US Government backed hackers can have complete control? yes.. Its a surveillance tool for the control freaks running the show.

Why would we need to attach money and a blockchain of all things to internet enabled toasters? There simply is no reason whatsoever. Other than to make the pushers of this new drug some cashola. $$$

I find it funny that you ask this when you KNOW that this site is a PnD site for alt coins .. thats all .. nothing more..

Many people here simply do not want to be unplugged from the matrix, so they continue in their ignorance to believe a lie - spinning ball earth tale.
As I stated previous so many times: ignorance of LOGOS is darkness, comprehension is light.

BADecker and co are either direct or indirect employed by nasa and so they must push the lie for what its worth before getting chased out of town.

LOL! you know when I was into the 9/11 conspiracy this is what we would tell people who didn't want to listen to us. Its funny being on the other side now. Chased out of town.. lol! now that is truly funny. If I was employed by NASA then I wouldn't be here I would be on my rocket ship to the moon.

PARIS - France and Germany pushed Tuesday for Europe-wide rules requiring messaging apps such as Telegram to limit encryption to help governments monitor communications among suspected extremists.

I think that they've missed something...
The unencrypted communications are part of the past and present, but no will not be part of the near future. They have to find better tools, not rules.

They know where the terrorists are, all they have to do is go there and kill them. Rules are not going to change anything since these guys don't play by the rules. Sounds like the same old politico bullshit to draw out this conflict even further.
