Terrorists are not only Muslims in religion but judging from the other fact all over the world the terrorist groups are 95% Muslims. I taking Nigeria as a case study ;the bombings and killings are carried out my Muslim.... So to me I will say terrorists are mainly Muslims in religion.
Also, we need to distinguish religion-based terrorism from other forms of terrorism. There are a lot of non-Muslim terrorist groups around the world. ELN and AUC of Colombia are perfect examples. But they don't want to kill those who don't believe in their religion. There is simply no terrorist group intent on world dominion, present in almost all of the countries of the world, and practicing terrorism in most of the countries in the world, other than Islamic terrorism. It's simply not possible to consider Islamic terrorism as other than part and parcel of Islam. Islam's stated goal is world dominion with an Islamic state, a Caliphate. Lying is okay to help achieve this goal, such as the rampant lying in this thread. |

Like i have stated before on this forum , muslims believe they amount of attrocities committed in the name of Allah determines their reward in heaven, hence their willingness and zeal to cause mayhem on all those who do not believe in their cause, but hypothetically speaking, not all terrorist group are all muslims but majority of them are. In my country Nigeria for instance we have the Niger Delta Avengers who are not muslims. Trump decision to ban islam in America is not 100% a right decision, labelling all islamist terrorist is not the right way to go. Islam is a religion of peace, just that its followers are misinterpreting it doctrines, belief and what it stands for.
He didn't. |

I write for a professional comedian..
Just wanted to thank you all for making my job so easy.
My boy is doing great...keep up the good work
Good, now give equal time to Muslim jokes. Oh, you won't/can't? How about that. Then we seriously need to respect the free intellectual environment of the Judeo-Christian tradition, that allows this kind of talk. |

I am here to just say one thing? Why do YOU hate islam? and you should really give a valid reason not a shitty one that says 'Because media' and Yes, I am a muslim for those who ask, just tell me, come out of your shell and say why you HATE it, and I could be here to clarify things to you. Also here is something that most people mistake about islam is that "Islam hates other religions" for this I say, Islam does not hate ANY religion, but it suggests to 'invite' them to islam, as slowly, and peacefully, even if they refuse, you can try and try, until it's their choice, you stop. and for all the wars that happened, it's because the other religions decided to come into war on Islam. If you need anything clarified, I am here to answer you, don't be scared, I won't be offended by anyone, also haters, you can reply, I won't care  people dont hate islam, they oppose the antistatist element of it. I think you mean something other than what you say. |

Much of crypto currency was done by dedicated visionaries, often without a goal of personal gain.
This is true of bitcoin. To the benefit of the world.
But what's with all the wallets? There are hundreds of wallets of various sorts, and with the exception of hardware wallets that are bought, they are all free.
What do the developers get? Why are wallets free?
Consider normal, "typical" android and IOS development. People download "free" apps. Then the developers and marketers steal your data and sell it. It's all about your data. And we all know that.
But what model of development are wallet developers following? That of dedicated shareware developers with no profit in mind? That of the current generation of "steal your private data and give you the app for free?"
What am I missing.
Well... you are missing the Open Source part. Those developers who make the code just as you say without a goal of personal gain. But let me explain how this thing work, if you see the soul of bitcoin you will understand why there are lot of wallets. When bitcoin born it wasn't a coin, it was a white paper and a piece of code called bitcoin core. The white paper explain how it works and the code does the magic (even you can see the download link from the core on the top of this sit.), now the network run the core version 0.16.0 and the question here is; what can i do with the core? or with that program called bitcoin? The answer is data manipulation. Bitcoin core have a lot of tools to obtain network data, and others to manage transaction. If you take a look to this site, you will understand better the options you have https://github.com/ChristopherA/Learning-Bitcoin-from-the-Command-Line/blob/master/bitcoin-cli-commands-help.mdI will not give you a full lesson about bitcoin, but what you have to learn is that bitcoin works in a network, so if you run that network as a server, you can let other people run commands from bitcoin core, and that's how wallets work, is just a server in which you can install the bitcoin core and make a nice user interface to let the users manipulate their coins. some wallets give you limited access, other ones give you better access, but if you want to have a full access and build your own transactions by using commands you will need to install bitcoin core, at end that's the only way to guarantee no one will have access to your coins. Actually I think you missed the entire point of my post and this thread. Please let me reiterate. I start thus: Much of crypto currency was done by dedicated visionaries, often without a goal of personal gain.
This is true of bitcoin. To the benefit of the world.
But what's with all the wallets? I certainly didn't miss the "open source part." And I didn't miss the need to respect and use Bitcoins Core. The issue here is not full or limited access, but what the business model of these hundreds of wallets is and whether many can defacto not be trusted. |

No it is not worse. Stop making things up, takiyya dude with 12 sock puppet online identities. Islamic terrorism for the last 30 days. During this time period, there were 161 Islamic attacks in 26 countries, in which 709 people were killed and 885 injured.www.thereligionofpeace.com |

Where are the corners? I think we can all agree, we need to find those corners. Some of the flat earthers might be able to help. And why was it FOUR corners? And I have a big problem with the OP, which says "JC is coming back HERE!" Well how do you know he's not coming back THERE? To one of the corners. And we don't even know where they are. |

I stopped reading at this - If we get carried away with the technological progress and lose our ability of being productive, we will completely be replaced by machines, and controlled by few monopolists who own the AI systems. With blockhain, humanity will no longer be under the clutches of the robot dominion and will bring about a new prosperity in productivity growth.None of this is true. The nature of AI, and the singularity, is that what happens after it begins is completely unpredictable. Thus the simple alleged cause-and-effect relations in the paragraph are all false. It gets worse. "Humanity will no longer be under the clutches of the robot dominion?" Really? |

The only video that worked to reduce the collective blame of Muslims compared to a control group was one that explained how hypocritical it is to blame all Muslims for the actions of a few. The video (which you can see below) features a Muslim guest on a news program. “The Westboro Baptist Church, they were Christians,” she says. “The KKK was lynching people in this country — they were also Christians. This fixation and obsession with asking Muslims to condemn all acts of terrorism ... is ridiculous, and it wears me out.”
Please get real. The KKK hasn't "lynched" as many people in 100 years as Muslims kill in terrorist acts every COUPLE MONTHS. Has it occurred to you that there may be very real reasons why Muslims should condemn their Islamic Terrorism Problem? |

I've been reading some old posts of some prolific members here on the forum and here's a quote from DeathAndTaxes to seek your teeth into:
This. The first time I learned about Bitcoin, I took a look at the whitepaper and code I found all kinds of "flaws". It wasn't until hours (days?) of reading and researching that the elegance of the solution became visible (like a Polaroid appearing from the black). It is humbling when you realize that you are looking at the product of someone far above your own capabilities and they have created what you previously considered impossible. In a hundred years in a hundred parallel worlds I wouldn't have come up with the concept of Bitcoin, it was simply too alien. It goes beyond just intelligence, the idea was simply outside my frame of reference. The problem wasn't even one I considered that a solution existed.
Now Satoshi's coding (nuts and bolts)? Blech that is another story but nobody complains that Einstein's notes are hard to read because he had bad handwriting.
DeathAndTaxes is pretty famous around here for his ideas and intelligence. Even though he admits earlier in his statement that the idea of Bitcoin was completely out of his scope of intelligence he then goes on to slightly criticize Satoshi's coding ability. I'm curious if this is the general view point of the community and also if it is true was there any major adaptions to the code following Gavin and other developers contributing to the project? I'm trying to go through his other posts in an attempt to find any explanation of this as I've not found anything from some quick searches. Just start reading the code.... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=382374.0https://github.com/trottier/original-bitcoin |

....I mean really! Who cares if people turn transgender too. As long as all sex is done with consent, it doesnt matter.
Who cares? A LARGE percentage of transgendered individuals are very unhappy with it. These are surgical and chemical treatments, they are not "sex." There are a lot of misconceptions about these treatments. They do NOT really create a female out of a male. |

I believed what the OP said concern wallet developers is true but with my own research every old wallet developers (I mean wallet created before 2017 high traffic) are not into selling their users data. However, I also believe the whole idea and question was ask due to the Facebook accusation.
It's not, it is simply an effort to DEFINE and enumerate the business models. IF the business model is public service, like Bitcoin Core, let's get those addresses and donate. IF the business model of a wallet is to sell user data, let's get it right out in the open that's what it is. If the business model is to profit on coin swaps, purchases and sales, let's state that. If the business model is not evident...that bothers me and it should bother you. |

If I had the ability to invent for the sake of the world I could Im not just clever. If I had to choose and international problem it'd be the war. I want to invent something that would cease this unstoppable mayhem od bloodshed. It's unnecessary and somebody invent something for this isue.
I'd invent bitcoin. But Satoshi did that. So, nothing. |

Atheist don't hate god, they just want to keep an equal relation with every god so that they don't get punished by any of them.
It's not just about not getting punished, it's about getting the good stuff. Hey, don't forget the free handouts, various highs, and beer. |

if you’re under God’s wrath because you haven’t ask for forgiveness of your sins and accepted Jesus as your Savior, you will stay behind and experience a wrath unlike anything you can even imagine. This will happen during what the Bible calls “The Tribulation” — seven years when the wrath of man, the wrath of Satan, and the wrath of God will be let loose upon this earth. For seven terrible and terrifying years the Earth will be devastated and billions of people will be annihilated before Jesus’ Second Coming.
Yeah, I saw that in this movie Rapturepallosa. Great flick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVu2o2fTKlc |

....And no its not a person coming by train ...
Hes probably not longbearded tall guy with sandales ... is it really that hard to understand this all?
No, because he can't come back looking like Osama. I think he'll come back on an electric unicycle, because when you couple that with a long robe, you just look like you're floating down the road... Okay, before you recoil in horror, just watch this and tell me that floating nun ain't totally cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujxDA9VsQG4So you see JC, send me a note. I'll be happy to train him on forwards and backwards floating techniques (not on water, though). Also the importance of craft beers, that old wine-into-water thing might not cut it today.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3um5KSRqH-U |

I would like to ask the veterans of this sub to please start to snip some of the long quotes. I have seen some unbelievably crazy long quote trails....
I admit to being guilty of posting as much as a week of the latest recorded Islamic extremist attacks world wide, out of the 31,000+ since 9/11. It makes a point, that of the unexpectedly long list even for a week. I'll reduce it to the last couple days activity. Or just a link. |

Is there a decent business model behind this wallet? I ask this separate from a discussion of the technical merits of the wallet, many flaws of which were above described.
I think they earn money by offering exchanges between assets and charging a fee. (Or maybe by scamming users in the future)Still, Freewallet goes against everything about crypto and the idea of being your own bank. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they have a viable business model. Next, let me elaborate a bit on your critique. By design a wallet casts a net, which may or may not be in line with accepted "best practices for crypto coin management." Yes I just made that phrase up. Seems reasonable phrase and point of view, but it would be something that newbies were very, very clueless about. SO....as one example, let's look at the consequences of a wallet not allowing you your private keys. This means exactly, that you don't have those funds and you don't own crypto, but you have a "promise to pay" from the wallet company. Neither can you of your own volition remove those funds from that wallet. You make a request to the wallet company that they move some of the funds they hold on your behalf. Pulling out a forgotten phrase, "Can you get Goxxed?!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8vCj4DOsHc |
