Hell if I'm installing the mtgox app on my smartphone for 0.0007 BTC

I don't even own a smartphone and I was able to get the code
to redeem at my MtGox account.   Cool

Ok Bill Nye, let's break it down:


First off this is a serious post although it may appear as trolling to some who don't value science as much as I do.

Circumstance:
- pirate's business remarkably resembles as HYIP ponzi scheme an inevitable outcome of which will result in a total loss for everyone who "invested" with him
- there is no actual credible evidence that would either confirm or deny that pirate runs a ponzi*

does not equal


it's certain they are getting scamed and will lose everything


You need to go reread about causation and then work on your logic skills.

I filled out the captcha and then pressed the "Get some bitcoins!" button.
If some bitcoins were sent, where were they sent? 
I was never asked to input a bitcoin address. The only input field I can
see in firefox is for the captcha.   

It seems to output the BTC as a QR code, which I'm not entirely sure how to redeem.

Yes, the first time I tried it I didn't get a QR code or a message to reload and try again,
or a message saying that it was empty, like it seems to be now.

The QR code needs to be scanned to give a code which can be redeemed at MtGox.

Clearly, she need an editor herself. Or maybe she's desperate for traffic, no matter how badly written the article is?

I liked the one theory presented in the comments that she is spreading FUD to try and drop
the price so she can buy a bunch of them herself. 

Ya, I don't think she has that much influence...

1) Have you been using bitcoin for more than two months?
Yes, almost 3 months now.
This confused me greatly until I noticed the date... Smiley
Holy thread necrophilia, Batman!

I wondered who would be the first to notice  Grin

Edit: Sent you a BTC  Wink

Would you send me a BTC if I give you a little advice. 
Those chopsticks...  you are using them wrong.   Wink

You havn't even listed all the free ones.

Which ones? 
Look for yourself, there are plenty.

I did of course.  Perhaps English isn't your main language and you aren't clear on the
difference between "free" and concepts like "earn" etc.  Wink

"surf these websites...
fill out these surveys...
give me your email address and personal information...
watch these videos...
reweet or post these ads...
build me a house...
AND I WILL GIVE YOU FREE MONEY!" 

LOL

Even if it is only time and attention someone wants it is still valuable to me
and anything I get in return for it, should I choose to spend it, isn't free. 

Now if the only time I have to spend is the time it takes to load up a website
and input a bitcoin address, and maybe wait a few seconds for some anti-bot
process or the like, and anything else is optional then I can regard any bitcoins
given out in that case as being reasonably free.

We are also starting to list methods to get free bitcoins, that require a bit of up front capital.

If it requires up front capital how does it qualify as free?  Wink
4556  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: Free Bitcoins Listing on: July 03, 2012, 03:27:18 PM

We review lots of sites and methods to get free Bitcoins.


Interesting idea about the reviews.  The [actual and non-scam etc.] free bitcoin sites there are already listed above.

4558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 6.66 Mark of the Beast!! ZOMG!!! on: July 02, 2012, 09:00:19 PM
bullshit stories in the bible.
There is too much evidence proving the bible is a historical account of real events.
Noah's Ark: Found!
Red Sea Crossing: Found!
Mountain onto which God descended: Found!
Ark of the Covenant: Found!

Historical fact of the bible is not contested but dates are. For instance, when did Moses live? Current theory states 1400BC, but I can show hebraic worship of ShangDi in China going back to at least 2500BC.

Repent! Cheesy

Lol

MICHAEL TOMS: I want to get back to the interpretation of myth, and especially relative to Christianity. What is your experience with people from the established religions? How do you convey to them that it is possible to look at the Bible from a symbolic point of view?

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: I taught a course at Sarah Lawrence College on comparative mythology for thirty-eight years. I taught young people of every available creed. More than fifty percent of my students from the New York area were Jewish; many were Christians – Protestant, Catholic; there were Mormons and Zoroastrians and Buddhists. There wasn’t much of a problem with the Buddhists, but all the others were somewhat stuck in their provincial traditions.

It was the simplest thing; all I did was to point out the parallels and identities all over the place. You see, when there is a motif – such as that of the virgin birth – which occurs in American Indian mythologies, in Greek mythology, and so on, it becomes obvious that the virgin birth could not have referred to a historical event. It’s a spiritual event that’s referred to – even in the Christian tradition. One after another, these motifs became spiritualized instead of historicized. And the interesting thing is that instead of the person losing her religion, she gained it. It became a religion instead of a misleading theory.

TOMS: How can a theologian in a seminary present a course in comparative religion and still hold fast to literal interpretations?

CAMPBELL: This is the most baffling mystery of my experience. Because I know, from associating with my colleagues, that a great many of these gentlemen become firm. "Ours is finally different. It’s a fact!"

TOMS: You mentioned the Flood. Like the Virgin Birth, it also is a motif that runs through all cultures.

CAMPBELL: Yes. There are very few cultures that don’t have a Flood motif. That’s a basic idea: the dissolution of the world which takes place every night when we go into the flood of our own unconscious. It’s the analogue of the mythological Flood: at the end of the cycle, there’s a flood. The American Indians have lots of Flood stories.

It was thought when the diggings in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley were proceeding that evidence of the Biblical flood could be located – at least a flood universal to that area. And there were flood levels found in several cities. But they were not the same flood level; they were local floods. There’s no cosmic flood; the Flood motif is a mythological idea. The whole notion that all originates from water, and all is going back to water, gives you a cycle: out of water, back to water, out of water, back to water; and each new cosmic aeon, each new world-age, is, as it were, a creation out of water and a dissolution into water. So it’s a mythological motif. This is exactly the point that Thomas Mann makes very well in the first part of Joseph and His Brothers: the archetypal Flood is a mythological, a psychological flood, and when local floods occur they become identified with it. Do you understand? We have experienced The Flood. The Flood is a mythological principle, and when a flood occurred, we understood the sense of the image.

TOMS: What does contemporary religion have to do with the adventure?

CAMPBELL: I think contemporary religion is in a very bad spot. And I think it is because it has taken the symbols as the referents. Religion is the constellation of metaphors, and the metaphor points to connotations that are of the spirit, not of history, as I said before. And in our religions, we’re accenting the historical image that carries the message, but we stay with the image.

TOMS: The literal interpretation, in other words...

CAMPBELL: Yes, and you lose these messages. The thing about Jesus is not that he died and was resurrected, but that his death and resurrection must tell us something about our own spirit.

TOMS: Why do you think we tend to a literal interpretation of Christ in myth?

CAMPBELL: I think it’s the result of a strong institutional emphasis in our religions in the West, and a fear of the mystical experience. In fact, the experience of the divine within you is regarded as blasphemy. I remember having given a lecture once on this problem of becoming transparent to transcendence, so that your life becomes a transparency through which light shines. I spoke of it as "the god in you, coming out through your life." A couple of months later, I met a young woman at another talk who had happened to be present at the first one; and she told me that when I had said "The Christ in you asks you to live," a priest sitting next to her had said, "That’s blasphemy!" So, in institutional religion, all the spirit is out there somewhere, not in you.

But what’s the meaning of the saying, "The kingdom of heaven is within you," if you can’t say, "It’s within me"? Then who’s in heaven?

TOMS: And, "I and the Father are one."

CAMPBELL: All of that. Jesus was crucified because he said, "I and the Father are one." Well, the ultimate mystical experience is of one’s identity with the divine power. That’s the sense of the Chandogya Upanishad saying which says "You are It." That divinity which you seek outside, and which you first become aware of because you recognize it outside, is actually your inmost being. Now, it’s not a nice thing to say, but it’s not good for institutions if people find that it’s all within themselves. So there may be some point there about our particular situation in the West where religious institutions have been able to dominate a society.

So here is one interpretation of what the number 666 means.  Ponder it if you dare.   Grin

"This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." - Rev 13:18

6 is the number of man as a manifested physical being, the beast.  3 is the number of divinity, mans truest inner nature.
666 therefore is the human being in the fullest sense... the completed man... The Christ ( which literally means "the
anointed one" ).  

Those who have a negative view of human beings and the material world ( like the compilers of the bible, as we know it in its
present form....  having a negative view of the world of people and things because they themselves were/are no-doubt filled
with self-loathing ) see this as representing a man ( lowly beast ) trying to be like God... the anti-christ in other words.  

To the wise however it represents man's true divine nature which includes, but also goes beyond, the physical material realm
( which they don't regard as a bad place, nor do they consider natural functions, like sex, as bad either ).  

To suggest, as Joseph Campbell pointed out, that man's true nature is of divinity, is one of the greatest blasphemies in Christianity
and similar organized religions... I mean what need would people have for priests to control them and act as intermediaries
between them and God if God is already within them?  

It is the greatest blasphemy but it is also the message Jesus gave... it is what he represents ( whether he actually existed
historically or is a mythological figure ).  

According to gematria the name of Jesus in Hebrew = 666.  And Jesus, "Son of Man", represents not a Divine Being
separate from us that we must worship from afar, but a potential which exists right here and now in all of us.  

Amen
Om
and pass the kaneh bosum* ( the main ingredient of the holy anointing oil of Hebrew Kings )

 Grin


Don't believe any of this of course... but ignore it at your peril...  lol
at least I hope you were entertained.  


* kaneh bosum goes by different names today... "cannabis" for example...   Wink
That's right Jesus and the apostles and many of the prophets before them were pot heads!

/edit Kaneh Bosm: Cannabis in the Old Testament

And if you were enlightened or entertained give me a Bitcoin for Christ's sake!

Looking at ads is also a service. At CoinAd you look at ads, with that surfing offer you look at webpages.

Most people these days are used to having ads on the websites they visit. At places
like CoinAd one isn't required to spend any time looking at, and clicking on, the ads in
order to get a payout.

Like I say at that original thread:
As long as anything like spending more time at their site, or doing something else,
is optional then I will consider the coins given out there as "free."

Here's some nobody knows about:

Get a free 0.001 BTC for joining the Bitcoin Tribe!
http://bitcointribe.com/

That might qualify, although I am not sure how many people would want to give out their email address
and other personal information to register at a strange site, just to get 0.001 BTC.

Are there any members of that site here who can say something about their experiences at that site?


Quote

This one does not qualify.  They aren't giving out free Bitcoin but are paying for a service, the surfing of websites. 

You can find a little more discussion of these types of things at the original post.

Also feel free to post your submissions there.

Thanks
