I like the simplicity of the slideshow explanation! I hate the game concept though (I'm quite sick of these types of games to be honest, but maybe that's just me).

4 5/10 for the moment.

Yes, I can. Now what? (Also, if you're actually interested in learning, click the link in my signature. If you're interested in trolling, carry on.)

I'm not a gox hater, I'm in disagreement with Paypal's account limiting and funds confiscation procedures, and of course anyone who models their company after those as well.

Bitballs.


I have no idea if it's a scam or not, but I got this interesting message from him:


That to me screams bizarre. "Go away and stop drawing attention to my ignorant claims that all hidden private key coins and bills are insecure despite common evidence otherwise!"

I'm discussing hawks now. Remember the old Anime show something like "Sky Hawks" where they wore what seemed like shitty halloween costumes and jumped around like speed racer, talking too fast? That's what I think of everytime I see your name greyhawk. Someone jumping around like speed racer and talking too fast. Next thing we know we'll find a dead child and chimp in your trunk. Interesting note, "hawk" is an expression in Korea that means basically "holy shit".

For the language learning inclined, I'll use it in a sentence.

"헉, 그는 미쳐졌네~"

Roughly translates to "Holy shit, he's lost his mind."

History disagrees with you. The proof is quite simple. If I had been scamming people, why would Theymos have ever removed the scammer tag in the first place? (Or made me a mod after that). I understand your misplaced rage from not being able to respond to me properly in other threads when I honestly point out your faults, but the tree your barking up has already been burnt to the ground.

For those who don't like link bait from authors to their own "articles". (It always bothered me a bit that Roger Wehb aka "The Founder" would always link to his own blog posts, announcing them in the second person as if they were news items he just discovered. Really Roger, it's creepy. Cut it out.)



If anyone else would like to search Google for patent documents, use https://www.google.com/?tbm=pts (3 pages for keyword "bitcoin")

US specific: http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html (2 items for keyword "bitcoin")

It is pretty hilarious that some people would think that registering patents in relation to bitcoin-- something used mostly anonymously by people who enjoy breaking the law as a form of protest-- would somehow stop bitcoiners from doing..well, anything they're already doing.

Can't tell if serious or just spamming your links and didn't care about what you were saying.

I wonder if Theymos made the "Trust" segment in expectation of this and will just say "Okay, I finally agree that BFL are a bit shady but now we can just give their forum account negative feedback if you feel like it. Thanks for playing!"

RE: "Are extortion and threats okay at bitcointalk.org?"

Theymos blackmailed me with a scammer tag back in 2010 into paying a bum 1 BTC for something he had already released into the community with instructions to "abuse it freely". He's also allowed (and continues to allow) shady companies, scammers and ponzi schemes (which he supports) to advertise on the forum under the guise of "collecting revenue for software" that has yet to be changed in over 12 months since that claim. If you're looking for a high moral standard, you're in the wrong fucking forum.

That said, alternative coins are supported by this community because we are open to changes in bitcoin that we can all benefit from. Yours is a degenerate, inferior model that provides no value or innovation whatsoever. What did you expect? A welcome party? Please learn how to internet before pretending how to business.

I wonder if you can add MtGox to the list since putting money there is a gamble. Are they provably fair?

This, apparently. More macaroni artwork from the talentpool of the cult.

Ruh roh.. CoinGator, what state is your paypal account's address attached to?

Signatures are a form of self-expression, a blackboard for doodles, ideas, opinions and free speech. If a user chooses to accept money to use that blackboard to draw penises and anti-Ripple propaganda, it just helps the rest of us get a better idea of the quality of their conversation and opinions, that's all. As BadBear said, the bright and obvious colors help me to skip over poor quality shilled comments easier.

The difference of course is that we don't purposely pour rocks and dirt over top the gold, put on a blindfold while digging and spin around 3 times in a circle to make it more difficult to retrieve and thus claim it's more valuable, we simply dig when we believe there is gold to be found. We understand that if you agree with bitcoin in it's entirety and have drank the coolaid, that "mining" coins is necessary and thus acceptable. Bitcoin's code however is not a law of nature but a constructed set of rules that can be changed with consensus, leaving absolutely no excuse not to find more intelligent and less wasteful replacements for proof-of-work concepts later on.

I admit it; Cultist defenders of energy waste are a sort of pet peve of mine.

I can confirm that Pistachio won 7% of profit sharing in the Avalon auction and is currently set up to receive 7% of any and all profits from the first Avalon machine I receive in Korea (which is an 85Gh/s 4 module+PSU Avalon mining rig).

Given the delays from Avalon, I understand that he is interested in transferring his shares for liquidity and will not restrict him from doing so. The auction is for up to 7% of Pistachio's profit sharing in the rig and it will be transferred into the winning bidder(s) name/email/bitcoin address after Pistachio and the winning bidder(s) confirm payment in this thread.

As I am also interested in a bit of liquidity myself to tie my over I will also be offering up to 10% of my second Avalon (same specs) for the winning bid price. As this auction is Pistachio's, his 7% have priority, but if there is a willing buyer for an additional 10% after the auction ends, I will sell for the highest bid amount.

Happy hunting everyone and good luck in all bitcoin endeavors.

Something tells me your intended username was "Brisk".

Theymos, I am logged in by both iPhone and desktop at all times and signing out of one never affects the other so I'm wondering something. Wouldn't it be possible for someone's account to be hacked, but them be online using it at the same time as the hacker and thus completely unaware of it?

They wouldn't bother. Why do publicly what you can do privately with bribes?

This. Unfortunatey, proof of work concepts for bitcoin are hard to come up with for useful work and we are currently using a modified version of Adam Back's Hashcash to delay people from getting too many bitcoins (his is used to delay people from spamming emails and comments primarily).

Luckily, Bitcoin is not yet a consolidated effort of the brightest minds in the world so there is plenty of room for vital improvements (including removing the proof-of-work requirements of hashing blocks). Unless I'm mistaken, it's also possible to find a solution through Open Transactions.
