The real question is, do we need the Bitcoin foundation?

How do you color a bitcoin that's gone through a mixer? Any address with existing balance that sends and receives coins is a mixer.

GPU mining needs to die away slowly. Bring on the ASICs..

Buyer can't get their money back if something goes wrong.

That is an advantage right ?

To the seller.

People getting bonuses at work, imagine that..

Oh yea, I forgot. There will be no bonuses for people paid with Bitcoin because you can't create Bitcoin out of thin air  Roll Eyes

Work is work, man. Nobody goes to work because it's fun and exciting. I hope you have enough to live on and good luck.

It's good to see the school hold their ground. They're not your mining sponsors, man..

But seriously, I couldn't watch the video. Some of us don't want to install flash or enable JS.
What do you use to start a fire?
451  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Throw Charlie under the bus and wash your hands clean of your biggest advocate on: January 29, 2014, 01:44:46 PM

Charlie was one of the biggest advocates and architects of placating to power structures in order to curry favour.

Keyword 'WAS'.

And even that is questionable. Maybe he was good at hiding his real motives and agendas. It doesn't matter anymore.

452  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What gives a person exclusive ownership over a BTC? on: January 29, 2014, 04:06:49 AM
I had a similar thread on here this week and my conclusion was that nobody owns Bitcoins and therefore Bitcoins cannot be stolen.
Whomever has access to Bitcoin storage and is able to move them can do so freely. All that is backed by mathematics. Great, ain't it?

You are being dense. Whoever owns the private key owns the bitcoins, there can be multiple owners, whoever first redeems the private key is the one who "owns" the bitcoins, as backed by mathematics.

Loosing control of a key is not the same as no ownership  Roll Eyes



Nobody owns the private key, that's the point.
If I happen to generate a private key that allows me to control some bitcoins then well..... I control some bitcoins, fair and square.

This thread for real or just a cleaver way to get Bitcoins from strangers? I thought I'd seen it all..

The one major reason Bitcoin matters is

FREEDOM

Smiley



Freedom from what?
456  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: DFS Hearing, Takeaway Thusfar on: January 28, 2014, 07:49:05 PM
BTC is unstoppable at the moment. Just depends who realizes that first.

BTC may just end up being a monster locked in a cage depending on how things go.
457  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin and Money Transmitter Laws... on: January 28, 2014, 06:43:43 PM
Stop exchanging Bitcoin for money and no money transmitter law will apply to Bitcoin...
458  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Very happy to share that my kid has moved to btc on: January 28, 2014, 06:23:42 PM
That's great but:

Call me cynical but could this be a way simply to solicit donations?

 Smiley


Just like 99% of the posts in this forum.
The only one I trust a little bit is the food donation. It pops up on the front page from time to time.
459  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wanna know which wallets are the Winklevosses'? on: January 28, 2014, 05:25:27 PM
Why do you want to know?

Because it's public information.
460  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEO OF BITCOIN EXCHANGE ARRESTED on: January 28, 2014, 05:19:48 PM
So if walk into a bank and get a loan and use that money to buy drugs even though the bank has no idea that I'm going to use it for drugs the feds will arrest the CEO if I get caught and they find out where I got my money?Huh  This case has no merit whatsoever.  The feds are just trying to scare people like they always do.

Your example makes no sense whatever.

The bank doesn't know what you're going to do with the money.

Charlie knew where the money was going and he knew The Silk Road was no mail-order gardening supply store... Ya'll need to stop acting stupid.

It's cool to dislike the gov't but Bitcoin needs to cut itself off from people like Charlie.
