But anyway, I was just trying to explain why I think Panamá is a decent candidate, not criticizing you for not having put it there from the start.

That's helpful

Ever heard about dictatory regimes? Now it does not matter if it is one person, a group or whole party who dictates.

So, robbing people of their possesions for whatever reason is one of the signs of dictatory regime. There are many other sings because of which we already know how fascistic the ESU (European Socialistic Union) is. So how really, how could you just be amazed? It was obvious this will happen, sooner or later. Other things will come as well, that is just sure.

Can you be more specific?  What countries?  Diversify?  How many organizations and where?  Lots of pie in the sky talk...seems like.

Unfortunately, these profit making money-sucking machines will never stop, to big to fail


In other words - "we are poor slaves and we cant imagine how to live without our Masters, we will all die without their guidance"

Now there are a few small countries still exist in Europe (but outside EU) which don't have personal income taxes at all, and the standard of living in there countries is much higher than in the rest of the civilized world.

She sent her entire balance from her blockchain.info wallet to an offline address.  She sent this balance without including a fee, and the transaction has been unconfirmed for a few hours.  I told her that I recalled reading here that simply importing the private key of the sending to a new wallet should work, but this does not work when I try importing to a new blockchain.info wallet.  I assume that this is because of the way that blockchain.info is set up, and that if I help her find some other online wallet service that allows for importation of private keys, that I can tell her to simply import the private key of the sending address there and then resend (this time with a fee, of course).  I distinctly remember that bitcoin is never lost in limbo, and if miners never take your transaction, that you always have the option of importing the sending address private key (albeit somewhere other than blockchain.info, apprently).  Any help is veyr much appreciated.   

Buying 5 BTC x 100$ = 500$, that is the risk for something that one day might be much much more valuable. I'd take that risk.

this is no different than forbes richest list. btc enables this and it should be used to advance knowledge.

and if someone is that concerned perhaps they shouldn't use a currency with a public tx ledger...

...As for Bitcoin itself, a EURO collapse will probably make 1 bitcoin worth $1000

We should all think about our deposits at any bank. We do not own these funds, they are not even to be considered currency. Those numbers in our bank accounts represent shares in the respective banks. Look at the balance sheet of your bank to see what you own a share of (likely many bad loans, various derivatives the value of which are probably less than said on the balance sheet and other toxic assets are to be found). The little gold or other valuable assets your bank might own are likely to be already grabbed by other more influential shareholders (or non-shareholders) before you even notice what's going on.

We have been warned.

better "withdraw" (sell shares of bank) a couple years too early than a second too late.

Weeks go by without Constantinos Mentzis, a tavern owner in Nicosia, stopping by his local bank branch. There is no point, he says, since banks in Cyprus have largely stopped functioning and small business like his are operating on a cash-only basis.

Now the economy appears to be sinking much faster than the 8.7% contraction that its creditors had forecast for this year.
...
Despite most deposits being frozen, many people have been withdrawing as much cash as they can from the bank—Mr. Pissarides put the figure at about €30 million a day. The two banks combined had €24.6 billion in deposits in March, before the rescue.  "There has been an enormous loss of liquidity at the Bank of Cyprus," he said. "If this carries on, the Bank of Cyprus will go the way of Laiki and that will lead to a disaster scenario."

...
[This part sounds quite familiar to everyone reading this thread:]
Manthos Mavromatis, who owns a water-pump company, was hurt when the government hit big deposit holders. One morning in March, he woke up to find that out of his €2 million in deposits at the Bank of Cyprus, he could access only €200,000. Some €950,000 was turned into shares of questionable value in the "new" Bank of Cyprus, the rest was frozen.

That's cool, is Ron Paul the candidate of president of USA?

Price fluctuates too much.

We all don't know...most of the time it gets valid eventually, so let's wait, but sometimes you are hours busy with mining and it ends up invalid...that's not nice

All wrong

The fiat currencies are losing value to Bitcoin as it is, and the value of Bitcoin is not "tied" to fiat, it floats freely. This equates to saying that the fiat currencies have value tied to each other, which is closer to the genuine truth (the currency markets are heavily manipulated a la LIBOR). Bitcoin's legitimate uses outnumber the illegitimate ones, it just gets more attention for the illegitimate uses via media ignorance and smearing. I'd have to put your opinions squarely in that camp: ignorant or hostile (or both, you choose)

Hopefully Slush will do some troubleshooting.  Both of these blocks showing valid on main chain.

if you click the blocks it doesnt say orphaned

I bought some, and emailed him according to his thread, and sent him my own mail tag. Can someone post for me on the thread?
