Anyway, I've got about 500khash/s on my little old laptop. I realise that the chances of me finding a block are probably basically zero. The question is, does it help or hurt the network having me generate? Or is it pointless?

I don't mind, the 'lectricity is free for me. (Not interested in getting another computer, or anything, I'm only staying here a couple more months at the most.)

Not quite first to market.

Also, another interesting thread: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=241.0

Ahem, originally posted in the wrong thread. Let's try again.

I haven't read the thread. I haven't even read the first post. I'm just going to put a few thoughts down about capitalism and anarchism, and leave the thread again. I.e. don't expect a response.

Capitalism, where individuals can accumulate resources beyond (far beyond) what can be used by an individual requires a government like structure. I'll explain. A capitalist is one who owns resources beyond what can be used by the capitalist on their own. So, the capitalist either rents out the resources for others to use, or hires others to work these resources. (I would suggest these, and lending money at interest, are basically the same. The capitalist lets others use the resources, in exchange for taking a percentage of what is produced. The difference between renting and hiring is the structure, and how much the capitalist takes.) If the person to whom the capitalist is renting the resources to refuses to pay the capitalist, the capitalist will then use force to evict the person from the {factory; land; etc.}.

Anyway, I'll stop now, because Robert Nozick said it better in the first two parts of his book [rl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchy_State_and_Utopia]Anarchy, State and Utopia[/url]. Basically, all those little private defence agencies that would spring up to defend the capitalist's interests, would merge by necessity and by reason of efficiency. Eventually you would be left with multiple rather large defence agencies that would be big enough to enforce their world-view on all the people in a particular geographical area. Oh wait, that's a state.

I fundamentally disagree with Nozick's conclusions in his book, but I can't fault his reasoning that in any "state of nature" (as he puts it) which is a state-less capitalism, a state will inevitably emerge.

---

Now, contrast this to a anarchism where resources do not accumulate beyond what can be personally used, and rent, interest and profit are all rejected. I would argue (and have done elsewhere) that a state would not emerge from such a society. Mainly because without capital, individuals and groups of individuals would not be able to accumulate enough power to form a state.

I prefer that utopia, thank you very much. (And I would argue, as I have done else where, that it is a utopia that permits more utopias than the so call "anarchist"-capitalism.)

Final words: Mafia run society.

Posted in the wrong thread, try again over at http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5643.0

You people thick or something?

Anyway, thanks bitcoin2cash, your site is showing the 5 and 5 like you said.

Feel free to negotiate for better pricing .

Cheers, trying to be too smart, and using html syntax for bbcode.

i am selling shit! pleaz contactz me 4 prices n stuff.

edit: shit all sold. no more shit 4 salez!

733941 is that the right thing to do?

So, what's the server-side software?

Do you have any links to websites you like the look of? Can you explain why you like those websites, and what you don't like about them. (For the various parts of your own website.)

Can you give more details about the type of look and feel you want? You specifically say you don't want images, but you want places for them. What do you mean by this?

Why on earth do you require JavaScript to even see anything on your website?

I'd be modifying the terms of the promotion so that not only did the account have to be registered before the post, but that it had to have had at least ten posts.

I wonder how many other non-used accounts there are, and who they belong to.

Lol.

Wow, they can buy all my bitcoins! Oh noes! (Btw, profit. if government wanted to by my bitcoins, I'll sell 'em for a lot more than they are worth.) (And then I'll just be over there starting a new blockchain...)

Also, you talk about policing and monitoring the network. At bitcoin.org you might get the admins to agree with you (apparently so, as it's now not allowed to advertise illegal stuff in the marketplace). But how are you going to shut down Silkroad? Or any of the various other sites that will pop up. Will you boycott an exchange that is known to be used by these illegal sites?

edit.

Yup, and those at the top get the mostest, while those at the bottom get the leastest (if anything). Just another Ponzi scheme.

I have no problem with someone messing about with Bitcoin to enable direct payment. And this is one thing that doesn't actually require selling anything. But, it should be clear that is in fact a Ponzi scheme and that those at the bottom will receive nothing.

(Personally, I'd prefer to see more Bitcoin laundries, clean those bitcoins!)

edit.

Ooh, is this a beg for bitcoins thread? I too beg for bticoins, see address in sig.

Edit.

Eh, except that I either download all my email to my computer (when that works) or else access it through the one webmail interface. Ah.
