Well done internet, this is the now the second news piece that has literally made me go "Oh for fucks sake" out loud, I actually thought it was the daily mail at first posting up bullshit but Russia Today don't normally do that with this kind of thing. I've read all kinds of racist, xenophobic, downright batshit insane, conspiracy theorist bullshit everywhere but I really do believe that only people who suffer from allergies have the right to complain about even traces of something getting in their food, let alone make death threats over it, it's not like they're secretly lacing it with laxatives and poisonous chemicals.
At least with the bullshit I've read they at least have some reasonable sounding grievances but this is just ridiculous.

Conservative estimates are always the best way to go, even pessimistic, especially when it comes to spending and profit outlook because if you constantly make almost arrogant statements about how high something is going to go you're going to get a nasty shock further on in the year and people won't trust you as well.

Oh please, we've seen people on Bitcointalk threaten to kill people or attack others before, we've seen it all over the internet, I will say though, that this is precisely the kind of reason why I think we should keep Bitcoin away from the regulators and government as much as possible because crazies like this really are out there.
Dark wallet and projects like it are a great tool to protect other people from persecution over how they spend their money and how much money they have.
Edit: I just tried to read his posts more carefully and they don't not make sense much.

What the fuck?! Prince Charles has called for an end to capitalism as we know it in order to save the planet from global warming. What does capitalism have to do with fucking global warming?

The earliest game I remember was C&C lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx1igDCbgq8Edit: I actually played the original nintendo with that weird brick controller ages ago but the games are so old I actually don't remember the names, I'd probably get my memory back on it though if I had gameplay footage

That's pretty much the case, I think the bombings we went to war with Iraq and Afghanistan over are highly suspect because the confessions by the 'bombers' were given after essentially having it tortured out of them so I must be a conspiracy theorist too, what America has done when it comes to 'gathering' intelligence is essentially act as the Spanish Inquisition and wanted scapegoats rather than the real people behind the attacks.

It's interesting because the problem is the label conspiracy theorist has been used so much by mainstream politics as a 'bad' thing where you have to be a nut case in order to think there are conspiracies out there but I think there's a difference between believing in a conspiracy and having circumstantial evidence to back it up and then being paranoid. The best thing to do when looking at this stuff is to actually examine the evidence rather than look at the scare mongering and read the text properly, in most cases you'll see that a lot of these people who are making stuff up will barely ever give out any real evidence and instead make accusations and presumptions. Think of it like trying to read through a scam and I'll use the free electricity generators as an example, why do they not provide videos of the thing working? Why don't they release the method of construction if it's such a brilliant idea? When they claim that investors have seen it why don't they have interviews with these people saying that they've taken a look at it in order to convince people? This exact same logic can be applied to conspiracy theories, the more you question somebody genuinely rather than argue with it, the more you start to unravel their bullshit because they're being forced to explain themselves rather than pretend they're being persecuted or censored ( another reason why I believe so much in free speech for everyone, no matter what ) that's not to say I haven't found some really interesting stuff out there. For instance, during the G8 protests there was a lot of evidence uncovered by people who were doing some real investigations on agent provocateurs and it was found that there were police officers dressing up as Anarchists and starting fights with the police so they'd have an excuse to go in and arrest everybody, the evidence brought forward to this were things like they were wearing the same type of issue boots the police officers wore and there were videos taken of people actually stopping them and they ended up going behind the police lines when they couldn't do anything. There have been quite a few admissions it seems by police that they've been doing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAfzUOx53Rghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDbJlWnW-VAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PG8nJbDEaD0So there's genuine stuff out there, but you just need to look at the evidence.

It's called the internet stupid and it already exists, go do some google searching on what decentralisation actually is.
Yes, you won't get a degree out of searching on the internet, but I have found far more information and learning tools on here than I ever did staying in school, you need to go to the deep web beyond the first to pages of google to find the really good stuff because it's inevitable that the good stuff will get ignored. In fact, me and my family found my two teachers through the internet just with some careful searching and I ended up finding Bitcoin as well.
It all just depends on how much trust you're really willing to put in a piece of paper with a government department's stamp on it.

Money and banking in the U.S is as much of a religion as Christianity, of course people are going to attack something like Bitcoin because it basically flies in the face of everything people like that believe in, I consider this era our financial renaissance now and just like with the people there who believed in mathematics we also are going to get persecuted for explaining something that is blatantly obvious to anyone who will willingly pay attention.
You hit the nail on the head. Capitalism is a Cult, economics is the very robust and widely-accepted pseudo-science which supports it. Bitcoin adoption is fear of the unknown vs. greed. Greed wins in the end, the only question is how long will it take? I think you misunderstood me, I don't think Capitalism is a cult, I think Capitalism is just a system of economic governance, when it comes to the federal reserve though and paper money that is a cult because it relies on the fanaticism of its supporters in order to survive. Bitcoin is what a currency within Capitalism should be, a medium of exchange between two consenting parties, what the federal reserve bankers have done is turn it into a religion where they a cut of anything that goes on in their country.

also xbox 360.
off topic: pirated pc versions seem to have a hidden bitcoin miner according to rumors
Correction: some of the pirated versions have a miner. If you download from trustworthy sources there shouldn't be anything wrong, RELOADED has just released their version for the PC and they're well known in the filesharing community.

If you're a total noob at programming, you could always go here: http://coingen.bluematt.me/ and then you could hire a programmer, possibly even on this forum to update it for you after you make your coin. Creating a cryptocurrency requires lots of experience in C++ and of course a good knowledge of cryptography so you can make genuinely unique coin and not just a clone, also, if you have no programming experience, I wouldn't recommend making a cryptocurrency unless you have at least a bit of money for hosting etc. CoinGen is shit. It's something to get them started though and cheaper than paying for a personal programmer. They aren't asking for a personal programmer. They're asking for someone to create a PUBLIC video that shows people how to make their own coins. Two vastly different things. This is a public service, not a private one. What you're recommending is a private one and would do nothing to help the public. Yep Oh shit, how did I misread that? ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) I thought he meant he wanted to create a cryptocurrency >_< If it's a video on it he could probably get into contact with the various altcoin developers and talk to them about it, maybe even do an interview perhaps and have them explain things.

You think you have it bad Kluge? At least Nascar is vaguely entertaining, we've got the fucking tour de france over here waiting to happen in June/July, that is going to mentally torture me more than the Olympics did, two events that the British media will never shut up about and I thought their constant ranting about World War 2 was bad. It's going to mess with Top Gear, I just know it! ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) Hahahaha... Okay, bicycle races must be worse than car races. You win. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Now you have one of the many reasons why I want to leave this country so badly.

Sure, I'll give a couple of trials away if it's short and holy shit that really is bad, not just the grammar, is this what you meant? Original Text
Pool might be for some and others not for some and others.
I took it as not pleased with it.
This is the main reason I left. hourly stats. weekly payouts for low miners. It's basically for the big boys.
Check out coinshift, they payout daily for .001 stats. so if you make that in 2 days the third u get paid. doesn't sit for a week to two weeks if mining and you just rolled over sunday with .0009.
Edited TextThe pool might not be for some and not for others, I take it you are not pleased, the main reason I left was hourly stats and the weekly payouts for low miners, it's basically for the big boys. Check out Coinshift, they pay out daily for 0.001BTC, so if you make it in two days or on the third day you get paid. I'm afraid I actually gave up on that last sentence you wrote about the mining rollover, the words are too broken up, is this roughly what you meant? Edit: Just took a look at Coinshift's website which explains things nicely on its' own. http://coinshift.com/about/
Basic Pool Info Fees & Payouts Fees are currently being waived during the first week!
The pool fee will be 2%
We pay out every day if your balance is >0.001, so you don't need to trust us with holding your coins.

I pose the same question when it comes to the death penalty that I pose to people who believe in god, what if you're wrong? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_exonerated_death_row_inmatesNo, I don't believe in the death penalty, no matter the crime, I've had this argument with people before, it amazes me the lengths people will go to justify to themselves and others killing an unarmed person, it also amazes me how like the U.S Iran is but you will find all sorts of people ready to jump to the defence of the U.S when they do something wrong. No one is sentenced to death, unless the judge is 100% sure about his crime. In the past mistakes might have happened. But with the advancement of technology, right now it is impossible to blame an innocent person for heinous crimes such as murder and rape. Bullshit, there are people out there who genuinely believe a women can't rape a man etc. which means all humans will naturally be biased to a certain viewpoint, none of what you said is true especially since a judge is a human being and is capable of making mistakes and then there's the fact that technology can always be tampered with. Zimbabwe women accused of raping men 'for rituals' http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-15876968And article so that nobody contest your first phrase Did you misread my post? I said they believe it, doesn't mean that it's actually true ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

So I'm trying to find more ways to be productive with my time while my brain is working on things and one thing that should be obvious to everyone who's seen me around long enough I spend a lot of time on the internet and particularly Bitcointalk. In order to monetise this I thought I might try what some other people have done and use my proof reading skills to make some coin since I'm not willing to dirty my signature with campaign signatures and spam the forum in order to keep to their ridiculous requirements because I think even a fifty post minimum is hard to keep to if you want to write something meaningful.
If anyone wants to post or PM me any offers let me know! I'd be happy to take Litecoin payments instead if you don't want to part with Bitcoins because of the price, I'd also like to do this as a way of increasing my reputation so feedback is definitely welcome, I have also decided I will go and research or find something out for you if you don't know where to look.
