When I give a peek to 4chans /pol or reddit, facebook, twitter, pretty much any big community and/or social network people seem to be so ignorant and willing to voice their ignorance whereas in communities such as Bitcointalk (and a couple others which I shall not name) people are able to put together logical arguments, have discussions and view the current events without the glasses with a thick layer of crappy propaganda on them?
Seems that you rarely stumble upon ignorant fools on here.

People are way, way, wayyyy, over their head.
We are a bunch of pseudointelligent evolved monkeys floating around on a rock, we can't even invent a cure for acne let alone posses the intellect to populate other planets, Earth has been nice enough to let us live for a couple million years provided we don't cause any problem or else we'd be shaken off like fleas, it has been here for billions of years before us and will stay here for billions of years after us.
The average American can't even see through the thick layer of shit put on his forehead every single day, populating other planets would be tens of thousands of years away after global world peace/harmony, which is a state we will unlikely to ever reach.
Certainly not. At present rates of planet destruction, populating other planets will become a priority within a hundred years. Additional death-rate decreases will cause a population explosion by the late 21 st century. Humans will need to migrate off within 200 years, or risk extinction as a species. Could be that earth has summoned us just to manufacture plastic and warm it up a bit with global warming, we are certainly not a threat to anything and won't ever will be. Lemme tell you, I was on this cure and it's not funny. But it does work.
Pimple-face pimple-face!  |

TL;DR Us thinking of CURRENCIES that we will use AFTER we have populated other planets is the equivalent of a baboon dreaming about driving a Lamborghini after conquering the universe.

Can you disable them altogether?
You shouldn't need to disable at all. Bitcoin automatically shrinks the log file on startup. Unless you have file system permission issues, the log file should never get this big. What if I'm having it run 24/7 and don't like restarting? |

search coin control Thanks! Side question, how do you keep the debug log file from growing to 5 gigs of size? Fucking annoying, as if the blockchain isn't big enough. even with timestamps, my debug files are only ~30 mb. Plus bitcoin trims them on start up by default. You probably have extra debugging stuff enabled in bitcoin.conf. Can you disable them altogether? |

Is there some RPC command I'm missing that sends BTC from a specific address? It would really make life about x100 easier.
|

Is there a way that I can open the port on the specific IP for rpc commands but only allow SOME rpc commands? Seems like this would greatly enhance security.

meh, The US took out Bin Laden, all of his top leaders, and his entire Al Queda organization...
I don't know man. On Sept. 11, 2001 Al Qaeda had sent about 10K through their base camp. (Al Quaeda means military base camp) Today I don't think anyone even knows how many tens of thousands of fighters they have. They control territory in Africa, Yemen, Afghanistan and others. If you include other Jihadi groups then we see that this is a rapidly growing global movement which has expanded massively since 9/11. Depends on whether you give into the US propaganda or not, the US claims that every single group that rebels against them belongs to Al Qaeda and that Al Qaeda is a terrorist organization that has many independent cells in many countries which is a quite big claim, it completely ignores the fact that some people (or most) might want to rebel against the violent occupation, since really, there is no such thing as a peaceful occupation. No need to get all tinfoil-hatted up, the US is strong but not THAT strong. |

I think regulatory efforts will be focused on the exchange points. I mean, how else could they do it?
Sticks. Sticks hitting faces. Come on, no developed democratic country would ever do ... just a minute, there's someone at my door. Back in a bit.[EDIT]Sorry, what I meant to say is that you should all sell all of your coins right now. Never mind the price, just get what you can for them. Then forget about bitcoins and never come back to this forum. Ever.[/EDIT] This guy gets it |

Since laws may be passed to render Bitcoin a "currency" and require everyone who transmits it to become registered with the IRS and so on in addition to other human stupidity on the high levels of our social hierarchy that can potentially hinder the growth of BTC, couldn't we fork Bitcoin, leave all the parameters the same and change the name from Bitcoin to Jumpcoin or EscapeRegulationCoin?
There is really no name for Bitcoins which is engraved on them like in centralized technologies so why can't we change it to escape the label of "Bitcoin" or even "Cryptocurrency", they certainly can't make math illegal.
Furthermore even if we create a completely distinct crypto-coin the exchange between the crypto-coin and Bitcoin would be completely effortless in contrast to exchanging the dreaded fiat to either crypto-coin or Bitcoin.

"money laundering" is an artificial, made-up crime.
All crimes are. Surely you mean non-violent ones? Hopefully he does. I mean all crimes. Even the violent crimes weren't crimes until someone(s) decided they are. I doubt that even archaic hominins, before modern humans evolved, would kill each other with impunity. There has to be some progress in a million years! Regarding "money laundering". That is effectively victimless. The crime that needs to be punished is the one that obtained the money being laundered. If there was no crime then the allegation of laundering is just governments trying to micro-manage citizens lives. Name one way a criminal could obtain money which is so evil that he MUST be punished, because the way I see it selling weapons illegally isn't bad because people want to defend themselves (especially from their evil, irresponsible governments), selling drugs is even more harmless, who are you to decide what a person ought to put in his body? Pharmaceutical companies sell drugs like Ritalin to children, image a drug pusher giving some LSD or MDMA to a 8 year old child, surely he would be put into prison for all eternity yet when there is money for the government to be made off it, it suddenly becomes praiseworthy. |

Awww yeah, I wonder if anyone has made any long term profit?

Are you using >= 0.8 without the -txindex option? See the release notes. yes, and older one - but you made my day while trying to index all tx's! Th-thanks for copying my username? |

Had a pretty brutal May on Seals With Clubs where I lost around 20 BTC, but considering I was playing mostly games with a buyin of 5 BTC it really wasnt that bad from a variance perspective. Played mostly pretty well, spewed off in a few spots, Im not so much running bad in terms of all in EV but more running into the top of people ranges a lot.
Im recovering OK so far in June, sticking to the 1 and 2BTC buy in games unless I see some really juicy spots.
I dont really gamble outside of poker much, aside from random flips and prop bets.
Cool, I like poker but seals with clubs software is ancient. |

Lets open a thread where we all share our casino winning experiences.
Just won 2BTC in Casinobit, how are you guys doing?

Bcrypt is not asymmetric.
Couldn't you make it asymmetric if you introduced another alogrithm into the mix in a smart manner? Are you suggesting something like Lamport's signature, which builds a digital signature algorithm from the SHA256? It's not clear where the Bcrypt's advatange is here, Bcrypt is computationally intensive, but that doesn't necessarily imply QC resistance. Well you could have a schedule and raise the computational power it takes to get the hash as time goes by, this will not only solve the quantum computer problem but all other advances in technology as well. SHA256 is the least problem you would have to worry about, without QC, see here https://i.imgur.com/fYFBsqp.jpgAnd if QC is invented, it cannot just circumvent the SHA256, instead it will weaken it to the SHA128 level using Grover's algorithm, closer but still nearly insurmountable. If you want to replace the hash function to counter the threat of QC, take care that if QC would not be widely deployed but concentrated in a few places, the slowdown introduced by bcrypt may affect the performance of other non-QC miners even more, and force them to quit mining, the scrypt however, which throttles the hashrate with the memory bottleneck, may prove to be useful. From what I understand the whole concern is with scrypt rather than SHA256, SHA256 would take way, way too long to break. |
