I made my point, so I feel no need to lecture about it. ~ Sorry thought your post was gonna stop after that sentence especially on a Thursday  Merited. This is good advice, and we should all take opsec very seriously, or we risk getting our precious BTC wrenched out of us and into the wallets of thieves. A while back, a Turkish guy had posted on Facebook that he owned 400+ BTC. Notice the past tense "owned"... He was kidnapped, tortured, and his BTC taken from him. Tattooing BTC on an exposed part of your body is like inviting criminals to do the above to you. Just be extra careful and never openly boast about your stash, especially to people you don't know well. If someone asks, just say you're into the technology and want to be part of the revolution, but never that you own a good amount of corn. Does someone in here??? And I do understand, but still how many $, €, £,..... tattoo's do I see daily on people not owning what they paid the tattoo.... How many just wanna be in the picture or make a tattoo cause of wanna be a part of it just.... I have a Lebowski on me, he ain't my dad, bud, uncle, friend or whatever... just something I like Did I miss something here or did you just fuck up the quotes so bad it looks like I did?  |

Since no one mentioned, this weekend there will be a Monero conference in Denver https://monerokon.com/registration I dont believe there will be that much crowd. It is notices we barely digged out of bottom and there is no interest from people out of crypto. I am sure next year will be totally different. So now is your last chance to enjoy monerotalks in peace  DUDE BRUH: "... once hacked NASA with a toaster, and builds drones that stop bullets and mine Monero on the side. " ===> LOL YOU GUYS CANNOT BE SERIOUS   #GOTBULLETZZZ Primer... is that you??  HAH, that would be funny. he's been extinct since??? Just like TrueTroll. I think they disappeared after Alphabay? Fuck If I can remember. IIRC Primer was a higher quality troll and I think he's been on IRC a few times I've looked there. You would know better on that. |

It would be a real shame if she was a 2 bagger. I don't mind the hair, its common these days. I did dump a chick once that shaved half her head though, she really was a "Head Case"! Haha I dated 2 girls who shaved most of their heads. One was a total slut (19 y.o. and said she slept with over 100 guys), the other was legitimately mentally ill. Doesn't matter where you go, people are the same. |

I'd rather spend a few more minutes looking at this.  Now we do not swim, we're just diving.  Just perfect, any more of her. You only see a big butt, the hair looks blue, you can not see the face, you can not see the tits, maybe if we see the girl out of the water we get a surprise. It would be a real shame if she was a 2 bagger. I don't mind the hair, its common these days. I did dump a chick once that shaved half her head though, she really was a "Head Case"! |

Why would anyone here give any ratt's ass about what a banned member thinks about anything? especially one who has proven to be substantively disingenuous in the past? Couldn't be bothered to click on that. I'd rather spend a few more minutes looking at this. Now we do not swim, we're just diving. Just perfect, any more of her. |

I made my point, so I feel no need to lecture about it. Do what you want, and it seems quite doubtful to me that NOT tatooing yourself has as many disadvantages as tatooing yourself, and part of the reason is op sec. Personal choice off course.
Haha, this reminds me about every time I've been arrested I freak the cops out that have to write down all the identify marks (I've got a few scars here and there). LOL, I always let them think thats the last one and then tell them another one to write down. My Corpse is gonna be easily identified! |

Any update from V8? apologies again for blurting it out here, shouldn't have. but thanks to those who pm or posted. it really helped, and some good advices. not gonna 'update' here, sorry, too mundane, after saying: me and mrs plan to muck about now as much as possible in between her treatments, like the old days. meanwhile i'll try to keep my 'contibutions' to the thread as they were before ^  , if less frequent. Completely and utterly worthless? Bleah, have to log in for that. More generic flamage? So when will Libra turn into fractional reserve? Can we have a poll on that? C On launch. |

Why would you feel bad for a traitor.
Well, now that you've put it that way... I agree that she has utterly betrayed the German people, and Europe, but that's getting into politics. As an American, I'm not sure it's fair for me to speak about foreign politics when our own house is so screwed up. ...do you understand that americans are european? I've been called some nasty shit, but that takes the cake.   |

Ohh, this is gonna get good. Waters in her statement Tuesday said the cryptocurrency market lacked a clear regulatory framework to protect investors, consumers and the economy.
"Regulators should see this as a wake-up call to get serious about the privacy and national security concerns, cybersecurity risks, and trading risks that are posed by cryptocurrencies," she said. Looks like we can all grab a nice bowl of popcorn. Well that didn't take long. Don't mess with Bank of England. Coin Desk: Facebook’s Libra Could Meet ‘Highest Standards’ in Regulation: BoE GovernorCarney added the U.K. central bank would scrutinize Facebook’s crypto payments plan “very closely” and will collaborate with global forces including G7 countries, the Bank of International Settlements, the International Monetary Fund as well as the Financial Stability Board, for which Carney served as a former chair.
Based on the report, Carney also raised questions on how Facebook would be able to ensure anti-money laundering measures while protecting users’ data privacy.
Frogs are upset: Facebook’s Crypto Libra Shouldn’t Become Sovereign Currency, Blasts French Finance MinisterLa Marie has also stated his intention to find out more about the project at the G7 with the central bankers in the coming months.
“I asked the central bank governors of the G7 to report to us in mid-July, when the G7 Finance Ministers will be meeting, to tell us what guarantees are to be obtained from Facebook,” added the minister.
Le Marie’s concerns not only circulate the financial implications of a privately distributed currency. The minister has also raised his concerns about Facebook and its data scandals in the past. He added that this digital currency would allow the social media platform to accumulate masses of private data once again again.
According to Kübler-Ross model we definetly are in this stage: - Denial – The first reaction is denial. In this stage, individuals believe the diagnosis is somehow mistaken, and cling to a false, preferable reality.
- Anger – When the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue, they become frustrated, especially at proximate individuals. Certain psychological responses of a person undergoing this phase would be: "Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; "Who is to blame?"; "Why would this happen?".
- Bargaining – The third stage involves the hope that the individual can avoid a cause of grief. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. People facing less serious trauma can bargain or seek compromise. Examples include the terminally ill person who "negotiates with God" to attend a daughter's wedding or an attempt to bargain for more time to live in exchange for a reformed lifestyle.
- Depression – "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die soon, so what's the point?"; "I miss my loved one; why go on?"
During the fourth stage, the individual despairs at the recognition of their mortality. In this state, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time mournful and sullen. - Acceptance – "It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it; I may as well prepare for it."
In this last stage, individuals embrace mortality or inevitable future, or that of a loved one, or other tragic event. People dying may precede the survivors in this state, which typically comes with a calm, retrospective view for the individual, and a stable condition of emotions.

Hey do any of you guys use BTC at Newegg? I just noticed they accept and was thinking of using it.
Good thing my old CC expired or I would have never noticed.

New Poll "When 10K"? Should be short. Nite all. <<-- Shit /OpSEc fail |

“Participation” probably means they have signed an MOU to accept donations in Libra. Free money - what do they care.
It's not like every scam coin ever hasn't used this method to shill its warez. |

Careful with your OpSec kenzawak, my friend. I do enjoy your journeys though, just stay safe Checking my ip logs at least twice a day but you're right, you never know, I need to be careful. Thanks for looking out ! Yeah, 99% of people on this thread are probably absolutely fine. There’s always a couple of cunts everywhere though. Thats why on the eight day God said "Thou shall provide an ignore button, that is all" Work on your reading skills Hueristic!!!!!!!!!!!  Sometimes I get a decent amount of pleasure to boss around other WO peeps, even if they don't listen to me, anyhow. Anywhooo.... If you had read the contents of the posts that you responded to, you should have noticed that they are NOT referring to the kind of "fine" or "NOT fine" that the use of an ignore button will rectify. They are referring to someone who might be involved in this thread to violate the opsec of privacy of other members - which is not affected by use of the "ignore button." Actually, I would assert that way more than 99% of the peeps here don't give two shits about attempting to invade the privacy of the personal lives of other members here, but there is an industry that goes around and targets various individuals, and likely they would target the individuals with weaker opsec.. or if they can find any possible exploitable chink in the armor. Meh, I was trying to make a funny. Anything said in an open forum should be weighed v/s what OpSec level you wish to achieve. There is no way you can change that and actually thinking you could would adversely effect your ability to reach that unattainable goal by giving yourself a false sense of security which inevitably leads to lowering your guard. Now if you feel that someone is plying you for more information than you should be sharing then the ignore button is your friend.  |

Except we don't really KNOW if it was really fully backed. Also, neither cash nor BANKING FIAT are absolutely NON-FUNGIBLE... if they were selling Tether in exchange of banking fiat coming from dubious individuals/corporations, those funds were not really worth their face value because you are assuming a risk (that finally materialised) that the funds gets frozen later.
That's the reason even people (not only governments/banks) do require reasonable KYC on the origin of funds for big purchases, because you could end up without the sold good plus the obtained funds seized on a later date.
We only know that one point in time it was backed and that was done by a law firm which was only allowed access to the balance but not the books. Shady but they did prove they had the cash at that one point in time. That's not enough evidence for ME. I can't say I know that just because of a third party dubious appraisal. In fact neither could they (not enough information and redundant verifications). And also that cash was already hindered from the origin so it was never worth its face value (which is my main point here). I can have a barrel full of (real) notes but if the origin of them is dubious it is almost (unless I manage to launder them, which has a very significant cost) as if I had nothing. Which is exactly what happened to Tether when it got a big chunk of their funds locked. I didn't say they were legitimate in any way shape or form. I only stated that at one point in time they did have backing for all issued coins. Shady but true. So the consensus I've read is this facebook coin Libra is going to 'help' Bitcoin in its role as a 'store of value'. Does everyone buy this?
Just curious. I could see this 'maybe' if the facebook wallet for Libra would also allow the use of another crypto like BTC/LTC/ETH etc, etc.
that, however, seems very unlikely.
I still like the fact that it is $10 million dollars a 'node' to run the blockchain network for this Libra coin by facebook.
Also heard on NPR today that this coin will allow for tracking your spending and personal data, etc, etc. That seems 'convenient' as hell.
anyway, was wondering what folk think in the WO board here on bitcointalk?
whatever crypto always drama!
brad It should help legitimize Crypto to a shit-ton of Plebs by extension so it is a good thing in that sense. |

However, Libra is not designed to be a stablecoin (as currently defined in the cryptocurrency world) with its value not pegged to a single fiat currency. Specifically, Libra will instead initially be backed by a basket of assets denominated across four fiat currencies: USD, GBP, EUR and JPY.
While these fiat currencies are the first to be included, these are three key criteria we expect for any asset - fiat or not - that could be eligible in the long-term for inclusion into the Libra Reserve:
Individually uncorrelated: only fiat currencies with free-float can be eligible; currencies that are tied / soft-pegged to each other would only be redundant in the Libra Reserve.
Decision-making process should be tied to either public organizations (i.e. central banks) or an asset being freely accessible (e.g. commodities).
Quotability: assets must be universally recognized across jurisdictions, to have programmatically-quotable value. For instance, Apple shares (AAPL) are only traded with a single quote currency: USD. As a result, its shares lack additional quotes to serve as a way to value other assets in various jurisdictions. Alternative assets like Gold or Bitcoin could serve this purpose better as they are traded in multiple markets globally and thus be included in the basket of assets used to determine Libra’s value for end users around the world.
Doesn't matter what they peg it to, it's still a stablecoin if it's pegged to a asset class even if that class is newly made up and has variance.
Tether was fully backed by collateral deposits. Until it wasn't.
Tether was so not a scam. Until it was.
Actually it has become the opposite, it was a fractional reserve that they profited from and then backed. And now isn't again, but that is due to TPTB seizing their reserves. We have to admit they did state on their site that it was not guaranteed to be honored since day one. |
