Augusto, a question if I may. What the hell is that... thing... on your head. Do they not have barbers where you live?

Oh shut up, why is it that every internet community I take an interest has to fall apart because of annoying witch hunting, hate mongering, mob lynching pricks who insist that whenever there is a problem with one individual that acts like a cunt it is somehow the administrators fault and want to usurp the whole place to turn it into their own little idyllic paradise where they'll just end up banning anyone who does anything they don't like?

Please people, don't fall for the stupidity and annoyance of these shit stirrers and just put them on your ignore list like I'm going to, don't let them turn a forum about Bitcoin into their personal battleground.

Actually usagi has been banned or ostracized from just about every internet community he frequented ever and afterwards these places turned into heavenly utopias full of butterflies, rainbows and sparkling unicorns. So there's maybe something to be gained here for BTCTalk.

The wider spread, on different IP networks, the better.  Our accessible P2P network is something like 0.2% the size of the Azureus Island (total accessible Azureus/Vuze), and an even smaller fraction of the total active-at-any-one-time bittorrent userbase.  In file sharing terms, we are barely to the level of a popular torrent.
Have any devs ever talked about maybe making BitTorrent client plugins that act as a Bitcoin node (with empty wallet?) as a step to piggybacking on BitTorrent popularity. The added traffic would be trivial in comparison to file downloading. If getting the node count up is important then this seems like it has potential.

Absolutely.  Or even better, maybe the plugin would permit you to send somebody bitcoins in exchange for a file, or file storage.



Is Bitcoin ready for a fight with MPAA? Because as soon as you offer "Imma gonna pay you for your illegal copy of that movie" functionality, you know MPAA will be lawyering up like crazy.

Let's face it, USA is no longer the beacon for the world of freedom and justice for all comers that it once was ...

... now it is a global empire that rules by fear.

USA citizens, like Jeff, have to live in fear of their militaristic govt. and so such actions that appear irrational to outsider but may have an internal logic perverted by contextual influences we are not privy to ... I seem to think his day job might be with a military sub-contractor, so it is even more understandable in that context. For example, if Jeff, was from communist China we would expect similar but even more extreme behaviour most likely ... removing the context of his circumstances is like expecting someone in a prison to behave like a free man roaming naked in the wilds.  Wink

So, you're saying that just because USA part of devteam is too lazy to move out of USA, it is justified to sell Bitcoin and trust of it's users?

I accept no excuse for treason.



That was a masterful troll. Kudos. Couldn't have done it better myself.

I like your faith in fellow humans, though.  I think I was born without that part of the brain. :-)

That's just because it's late. I get more mellow the darker it gets.

Are you reverse-engeneering compiled, for-the-masses, versions?...
That's very simple to do, anyone can anytime they want.

Far from the truth. Have you reverse-engeneered any of official compiled versions and compared the code with source? I doubt.

Shouldn't it be possible to compile the source on a similar system, then just check for byte differences between "official compiled versions" and your fresh compile in a hex editor?

We all live in our own reality.  We all have different beliefs.  I'm trying to unite our realities to one.

You'll leave my reality alone. Thank you very much. It's mine and I'm not sharing.

Better yet, why not have a FULL OF SHIT tag? There's posts from people claiming things that are obviously completely incorrect.

Yeah, but I think tagging all of BFL with that would break too many hearts and minds.

No it doesn't. Enigma encrypted messages had a header like this:

Yeah that would be nuts..... How cheap is natural gas for you guys? Were I live in Canada it's DIRT cheap.. 

Would it make sense to run a natural gas generator to run your home?


Innnnteresting idea. I'm already on the gas mains. Let me get back to you on that.

With all these people out their yelling about how they have free electricity, I think I'm beginning to understand why I pay so much for electricity. And I'm not even mining.


What's the problem? I pay for my electricity at my house. I run 1 rig at home. I have multiple other rigs running at my friends house.

I'm just kidding about Germany's huge rises in electricity costs.  Wink


A lot of places pay ridiculous amounts for electricity.  

But they don't see a 30% increase across the board all thanks to idiots voting "Oh, that Fukushima thing was pretty bad. I know, let's turn off all our nuclear reactors. That'll solve all our problems".  Cry

Didn't Iran invent language? They should not have exported that.

They certainly should have patented it at WPO.  Grin

Stopping the issuer stopped the currency.
How would you stop the Bitcoin issuer?

You don't. The examples illustrated that those former currencies were not illegal, but the behaviour of the issuer was illegal, thus killing the currency. With bitcoin illegal behaviour of certain issuers is irrelevant.
