Not sure if anyone brought this up, a satellite orbits earth about every 90 minutes, meaning we'd get connection for about 30 minutes when it's around and then silence 60 minutes. But likely there's some option to rent something "cheap", low bandwidth on a global level.

A satellite orbits earth however often you want it to.

This is not entirely correct since at the shorter orbital periods you will encounter an increasingly thicker atmosphere as altitude decreases. Typical Low Earth Orbit (LEO) period is ~90 mins.

Did you watch Gravity too  Tongue

...haven't seen it, actually in another life I'm actually a rocket scientist Smiley

Why are so many so afraid of a visit?

You all have the power of choice. Dont like where a crypto currency is going? Vote with your feet. There is nothing to worry about. Just remain vigilant.

I believe that is exactly what they are doing .... or you have a problem with participants expressing their opinions?

For the record:  I'm mostly libertarian, I think we'd be just fine if we replaced 99.911% of regulations with voluntary, private, market-based solutions. But that ain't gonna happen any time soon.

That's good to hear! Smiley

But honestly, that they want to talk to you is simply scary.

Afterwards, you'll need to tell us what it was like to be surrounded by Sith. Wink

OPT out of what exactly? Life? If you think btc is going to magically change society for the better you have a serious problem.  The list is endless on the number of people who benefit from a fiat system as well. You sound more like a retarded tin-foil hat nut-job then a rational human.

OPT OUT of fiat (not sure how you missed that glaring detail). Bitcoin is changing societies immensely already, people (even braindead economists) are thinking and talking about the central banksters fiat monetary RORT, it has already won regardless of what happens next.

Ad Hominem = Fail


... got any other pearls of wisdom or are we done here?

We'll I'm certainly done. Ignored.

Something happened here but I advise keeping your mind open when it comes to Marcus. He is very wise.

Maybe, but that's not the impression I get.

Maybe you are impressionable ... sometimes I mix and mingle with the smell of the sheople, to get a grasp for what's happening on the ground. Smiley

5010  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi a rather unique event. on: January 11, 2014, 11:21:39 AM
This is very valid point ... it is now possible for a single idea, implementation to completely change the world and upend the reigning power structures ... and it could happen anytime again in the future. No more can the incumbents feel so comfortable that better idea/technology is only one good coding away from tossing them into the biin of history.

Satoshi makes Zuckerberg and Gates look like pikers, imho. Social networks? OS? meh ... let's overhaul money.

But there's nothing they can do, other than accept it.

Chinese government has done a pretty good job of not accepting it. Any over government can easily follow suit.


Because the whole world would be a better place if we had authoritarian communist rule and Tianem-square like massacres ...

So let me try and understand this. He's wrong because he wants to change bitcoin. Yet your not wrong because you want to change the current financial system. How is there a difference? Your doing the same thing you claim he is doing.

And it doesn't sound like he's shoving anything down your throat, it looks more like he's being reasonable and intelligent and willing to discuss the topic like an adult, and it sounds more like you are trying to push some agenda you have

No, he's not trying to change the existing financial system at all ... we are trying to replace it entirely and give people an option to OPT OUT.

Something I notice no economists are offering or advocating for at present ... rather they spend a great deal of time trying to figure out how to keep everybody corralled into their sick facist financial system of control and monitoring, cash controls, border checks, sniffer dogs, criminalising cash ... the list is endless with examples of the restrictions of financial freedom to serve their fiat masters and their wrong, failed, sick economic theories.

This is good, a provocative article discussing monetary implications of bitcoin as well as transaction attributes, valuations, etc. Posted at a fairly widely read site also.

More of these.

Too much respect - borderline asslicking.

I hate these guys guts ... just do not under-estimate them and the pawns/tools outside finance they have access to, including media, courts, regulators, govt. to create temporary perceptions of over-supply.

Bitcoin's true weapon against these bastards is genuine scarcity ... and global demand is rising, fast.
5015  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: January 08, 2014, 12:28:48 AM
It surprises me that no one see's the obvious. Large manipulators wait for negative PR and then take the opportunity to start the drop, knowing that people will attribute it to the news and panic.

Holding is not because you're sticking with your internet friends, its because by and large individual amateur investors are going to have a really hard time timing the market properly and not losing money. You will lose less if you just step away and stop thinking about it. It's either going to be worth millions or nothing at all. You joined up for this ride, so don't quit your day job.

And please, stop complaining.

This.

I don't think many people here realise what it means now these Wall St. sharks are circling and amongst us ... they'll be picking you off one at a time like the ripe fat whales you are.

I've been watching/trading the Gold market for 18 years and you guys have no fucking clue what's coming ... it's not going to be pretty.

From here on out, either you're in bitcoin for the long haul and the protection of assets it provides or you're gonna lose most everything .... especially if you think you can out trade these guys with their trading algorithms, bots, deep pockets and propaganda machine ... they'll out psyche you every time and then take your money when you are beat ...

You've been warned. Get real or get out now.

Whats their problem?

Nice ... good vid also.

So what are memory protections like on that private key once it has been imported? It seems like you can load any amount, up to total held in that address, so is it recommended to send remainder to new cold storage key or ... ?
5018  Other / Politics & Society / Re: FBI Drops Law Enforcement as 'Primary' Mission on: January 07, 2014, 10:05:04 AM
this is no accident .... if it was law enforcement it would mean they have to uphold the constitution and begin prosecuting themselves and NSA for fourth amendment violations ... if it is national security then anything goes ... they can officially become a criminal organisation of the state without repercussion by dropping "law enforcement" as their primary mission.

Chancellor Alistair Darling on brink of second bailout for banks

Billions may be needed as lending squeeze tightens

Alistair Darling has been forced to consider a second bailout for banks as the lending drought worsens.

The Chancellor will decide within weeks whether to pump billions more into the economy as evidence mounts that the £37 billion part-nationalisation last year has failed to keep credit flowing. Options include cash injections, offering banks cheaper state guarantees to raise money privately or buying up "toxic assets"
