How many family/friends have you lost to suicide? It sucks for everyone. I hope his family gets him the help he needs. A good slap on the face... that's all the help he needs... The ones falling for this troll post are the ones who need serious help. In most forums, this would be disregarded. However, this forum brings an element of trust in ones <nick>. Jon aka Atlas has been around long enough to know this. So, if it was a troll. Yea. He got us all good but has lost all TRUST in his word. It does not demean us to believe in him and him let us down; it demeans him. Ironically this is a lose/lose proposition for him. For people that believed him, it is a win/win. Obviously a hacked account would answer a lot of questions here. However, as someone pointed out, a simple check on IP's will probably confirm to within a 51% degree of certainty. This is a court of public opinion and as such standards are not so high. IF the PD did do anything here, get a Bitcoin account and I'll donate 1 BTC towards a PR-24 to keep the crowds suppressed. You know your department needs money.  |

Wait a sec, a close associate? OK, now this makes no sense for a suicide note.
Yes maybe our assumption is wrong. He might be parachuting and his chute failed to open so he pulled out his phone and logged in as his last will and testament. OR He is on a plane that is falling from the sky... see above. OR ... |

Need help? In the U.S., call 1-800-273-8255
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
Maybe some humor to help this depressing thread:
In Russia, you don't commit suicide, suicide commits you.
In China, they'll charge your family for the loss of money they'll lose by not being able to exploit you.
In Sweden, ah... I'm thinking.

The cause of the inflation is important. Is it because people want it but can't obtain it OR is it because people don't want it so suppliers have to increase prices due to lack of demand (What I like to call Buggy Whip Economics). Buggy Whips went up in price before they disappeared because no one used them anymore. I judge demand by the amount of nodes using Bitcoin. Increasing nodes = increasing demand, decreasing nodes = decreasing demand. I believe increasing use of Bitcoins is the goal here. Mining operations seems to have taken a precedence over this. But my Nutshell says: If Bitcoin is increasing in price with increase in nodes, it is good. If Bitcoin is increasing in price with decreasing nodes, it is bad. If Bitcoin is decreasing in price with increase in nodes, it is good. (Although this scenario isn't 'good' for miners, it is good for the Bitcoin) If Bitcoin is decreasing in price with decrease in nodes, it is bad. Then apply whatever inflation formulas you want. |

I don't want children.
Humans have evolved past basic mating, my friend.

Perhaps, or perhaps not. What if it is happening one street over? can I go over there to respond? What if it is 20 miles away? I am not going to find out in a court of law. I am going to run if at all possible, even if it means certain death for your family.
I would also not use my gun to stop a rape for example. Rape is not murder and I think stopping a rapist with deadly force is murder.
NY isn't a castle doctrine state and of course isn't stand your ground. But you're allowed to use deadly force against rapists and kidnappers.I don;t know about other states, but they probably have similar laws. LOL, Victim: Hey Stop !!! before I can shoot you, which type of criminal are you? Are you a Rapist or Kidnapper? Criminal: ah... No. Victim: Ok then go ahead and take my stuff. The money is in the vault. There is a lamp over there to murder me with when your done. That was meant in defense of others, that means you don't need to retreat. Of course if a kidnapper or a rapist is after you, in NY you need to run very fast. Au contraire, they'll need to run very fast. (Decides which type of shells to put into the AA-12). Lets see, bean bag, bird shot, buck shot, and the best for last the grenade round (Frag-12) http://youtu.be/cQYp9fOJ9VI. |

all the US government has to do is take control of money printing, buy back all the bonds and boom save $400 billion a year in interest. And then, this is a big one folks so hold on to your butts, our elected politicians would be liable for any inflation or deflation as they control the money supply. although I assume there would be a ridiculous period of inflation for awhile as $15T+fractional reserve entered the money supply. after that, however, we'd (as a world) actually be moving towards sound money again for the first time in hundreds of years.
the fed is such a scam to the point where it almost makes me want to get violent.
Perfect solution except for that little TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) Bonds problem. |

It was just a joke, i'm actively supporting Miningbuddy, i have messaged him several times today but he was not available i suppose.
Bullshit. That post was written in the same fashion as Bitscalper communications I received by email etc and it's even ended the same using the 'BEST REGARDS' crap. You both use GMT to possibly hide location in your user profile. You BOTH refer to 'joke' being complete strangers ? How stupid do you think people are around here ? This is either YOU or your partner. If it looks like a Duck, Quacks like a Duck, Fucks like a Duck, Stinks like a Duck, Shits like a Duck....... Damn, I use Best Regards in communications. It seems to be an accepted ending among the most people. And, Sincerely as an ending with BTC seems to get laughs. What will the new one be: Best Wishes, Best Satoshies, May the Gox be with you, May Zhou Tong's arrow miss, etc... |

Transisto's point is spot on.
Inflation is taxation that is retroactive for the vast majority of people when it is done by purposely printing money.
e.g.
If last week you earned $100 dollars and saved $10, then inflation goes up. The money you saved is being 'taxed' in a way. The money you thought you already earned, you didn't. It is a pay cut with the numbers staying the same.
Not that inflation is bad or evil because as resources dwindle inflation is a natural process. What is bad, is when one purposely causes inflation by printing money.
People with resources will counteract the Quantitative Easing (printing money) by moving to commodities, equities, etc... but the guy with a savings account and no time or money to 'invest' or 'trade' gets screwed.
Lets just try to stick with a natural inflation rate rather than impose one on the people.
My guess is the FED is deathly scared of increased interest rates, so they will print more to buy their own bonds. Why? Because every 25 basis points increase, we owe $1 Trillion more in debt and we are already broke.
I fear we have already crossed the point of no return. Usually this is when people charge up their credit cards before they default and file bankruptcy.
Wonder what the 'new' dollar will look like in the future.
The above is a guess, it is entirely possible we will pay back the currently $15 Trillion now, or the projected $21 Trillion before any savings could possible be put on a downward spiral to pay it off.
But meh, the Aristocrats know what is best for you.

By the way. The title of this thread describes a "war" between the electronic currencies. Bitcoin should welcome the challenge of any new currencies. In the meritocracy of an open and free market, bitcoin compares very favorably. I can't see how a proprietary system could compete with it. Many of the strongest elements of BTC, such as being open-source, private and almost free, cannot be implemented in a fee for service environment.
mintchip has the backing of the goverment, so they'll try to spread as much FUD to say bitcoin is worthless/insecure. They won't need to do that. People will be able to get into and out of Mint Chip Easily. I hope Mint Chip has a nice client/app/etc... cause I foresee Canada having the best BitCoin Trading going on. If Canada allows it, the world will soon be trading in Canadian Dollars. One day the U.S. will realize that they are killing innovation and giving it to other countries. |

It was a huge false flag exercise so gigavps can sell all of his for 300+ BTC each and pay for his rigs.
I feel honored to be a part of the conspiracy.  If anyone wants to buy a BFL single from me for 300 BTC, PM me. I'll sell giga's BFL single for 400 BTC. I don't think he'll mind. |

But, efficiency is not the whole picture as one can't get a 100% Efficiency rate. Some energy will have to be used to get the oil. One can spend tons of energy on acquiring new and more effective drilling methods. The energy used in these endeavors must be used in the formula. Once again, you're not using the term "efficiency" correctly. You're using it as a synonym for EROEI. The term you are looking for is Coefficient of Performance (COP), which is usually over 100%. In terms of energy usage, oil drilling is always over 100% "efficient" otherwise we wouldn't do it. In terms of percentage of resource recovered, however, it is always less than 100%. You are confusing the two. Pick one and use consistent terminology. EROEI is the most fundamental metric. It is a foundation for almost everything. To an economist, perhaps. To non-psychopaths, it's a metric that is useful within a specific context. It only takes a single match to burn down a forest. The EROEI on that would be in the tens of millions. Sound like a good investment to you? Increase Efficiency is not always good. A balance needs to be maintained. The more out of balance there is the harder the crash when nature corrects it.
Often Increased Efficiency = Increased Unemployment based on current Population So to increase employment, either decrease efficiency or population.
Alternately, increased efficiency is always good and increased population is not. Because of the above, IMO, BitCoin is the most useful as a transactional currency (quickly in and out of BTC for payments) that can be the first truly international payment system.
This is a ludicrous notion. Every Bitcoin has to be held at all times by someone. If it were even possible for everyone to do what you suggest, Bitcoin's value would fluctuate wildly without any velocity to speak of, and it would be worthless as a "transactional currency", which is a fiction anyways. First: I appreciate your response and divergence from my opinions. You're using it as a synonym for EROEI. If I did, sorry to have given that impression. I do not think it is a synonym for EROEI. To non-psychopaths, it's a metric that is useful within a specific context. Not entirely sure about the implications here. But, I've found if one digs deeper they find what they think isn't always so and sometimes even surprising. I took it as you calling me a psychopath tho... Which is fine. No offense taken. Alternately, increased efficiency is always good and increased population is not. Rather than me debate this, while I see the point being made, there are two thoughts on the matter: The Khazzoom-Brookes Postulate http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421500000306Basically increasing efficiency increases demand. Which I will grant is not always bad, but can be depending on what efficiency is being increased to obtain. Also the speed at which resources are used can be accelerated to a point of no return. Cod fisherman became very efficient off of the NE North America til they diminished the cod. On the other hand, Lobster and Crab fisherman, ah I'll just drop this: http://icesjms.oxfordjournals.org/content/18/3/333.extractI think those sources should work, shouldn't they? Again, thanks for the opposing views. |

call me conspiratorial but I dont think the OP ever even had a single.. nor did the op even sell one for 300 btc.. anyone who would buy one that price without pics and without proof it works is plainly an idiot.. just the thoughts of a feral cat.
How much would someone pay for a new iPhone model with a restricted production time frame? Especially, if it was a chinese buyer purchasing it. |

I also meticulously scrutinize the language that people use when they communicate as it is a direct reflection of their state of mind -- after all, people think with language, and if they don't make sense out loud or in print, chances are that they are similarly confused in their heads. Wait... You psycho-analyze the written word? So 'they' are out there. The colour of phrases help to determine everything. How do you determine if the words have been edited, corrected, etc...? 2$ for your thoughts. |

Cash deposits at banks seems to be the way to go to maintain privacy.
This AML KYC stuff is just because LE has become lazy. If they truly suspect someone of a crime then they can goto the bank and get the video. This 'everyone' is a suspect so lets violate their privacy, needs to fail. So, every time they come up with a system, we need to come up with a 'legal' way of circumventing it.

Death of Dwolla. Forcing customers to have a bank activity every thirty days is a fools errand.
Maybe on the next venture, they wouldn't use a linked bank account. Just accept cash deposits via the banks to fund accounts. Then chargebacks are moot.
