Did you really make a thread on an internet forum to try and get gratification from strangers about some chick that is only with you because of your apparent coins/wealth?

How pathetic.  

LOL Smiley
Sorry OP but this post makes me laugh Tongue

Perhaps you know why Smiley
I don't think you're the only mod laughing at him in this thread.

Latest:

-Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is still missing, some five days after it vanished in the air near Vietnam.
-The Wall Street Journal is reporting that U.S. investigators suspect the aircraft may have kept flying for about four hours after it disappeared from civilian radar on Saturday morning Malaysia time.
If their suspicions are correct, the plane could have travelled far beyond where the search is currently focused.
-Malaysian and Vietnamese aviation authorities have flown over the area where Chinese satellite images earlier showed mysterious debris - both say that no trace of the missing flight was found.
Great summary. I wonder why are all the info is pointing to a hijacking. Well, at least for me.

The top sheriff in a rural part of northern Nevada told residents this week that one of his deputies acted appropriately by confiscating tens-of-thousands of dollars and a handgun from two men who were never charged with crimes.

Humboldt County Sheriff Ed Kilgore defended his department during an open meeting on Tuesday this week in Winnemucca, NV, where around 40 residents of the region turned up to talk to law enforcement about two headline-making lawsuits that have propelled the area into the national spotlight as of late.

The federal suits — both filed last month in United States District Court — allege that Deputy Lee Dove of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office acted unlawfully when he pulled over two drivers in September and December of last year for routine traffic violations, only to confiscate large sums of money and, in one instance, a handgun, without ever charging either individual with a crime.

In each case, the plaintiffs were stopped by Dove for minor infractions and eventually released without being booked. Both times, however, he came upon large amounts of cash in their vehicles and confiscated it by evoking a controversial “civil forfeiture” provision that lets law enforcement take money if an officer thinks it was either obtained illegally or will be used for illicit means.

Both cases attracted the attention of Associated Press reporter Scott Sonner, who profiled the lawsuits earlier this month in a story that set the stage for Tuesday’s meeting in the county center.

“Two men who were traveling alone through the high desert last year offer strikingly similar accounts of their stops by the same Humboldt County deputy near the town of Winnemucca, about 165 miles east of Reno,” Sonner wrote last week. “Neither search produced drugs or an arrest, but in one case Deputy Lee Dove took a briefcase filled with $50,000 and in the other he seized $13,800 and a handgun, according to the lawsuits filed in US District Court in Reno.”

Attorneys for Tan Nguyen, 37, filed their suit on February 12, and in it they alleged that Dove pulled over their client the previous September for driving 78 miles-per-hour in a 75 mph zone.

“Dove stopped Plaintiff in a ‘profile stop,’ suspecting that Plaintiff was transporting illegal drugs, which he was not,” they wrote. Upon inspecting the vehicle, however, the deputy came across a briefcase containing $50,000 in US currency and two cashier’s checks, which were promptly confiscated.

“Plaintiff was neither arrested nor cited for any violation of the law in relation to this encounter with Dove,” attorneys wrote. “Rather, Dove gave the plaintiff only a warning.”

According to the suit, Dove told Nguyen that he would be arrested unless he “got in his car and drove off and forgot this ever happened.” The fifty-grand — winnings from a Nevada casino, according to Nguyen’s attorneys — was never returned.

Guess that's the other side of the coin: both the lack of control and too much control yield problems. And as I have seen the superpowers like US, Russia and China are skilled in mass control.

I have the same problem in installing my litecoin wallet from litecoin.org, It was going all good but suddenly after about half an hour it stop updating and error shown was 'no block source available'
 i tried everything i can think and googled a lot about it but no luck so far !!! Huh Sad
It probably means there just weren't other people connected to the Litecoin client. Or you might be having issues with your firewall. If it's the first case then you just have to wait until someone connects.

A very bad thing.
Such a bold statement (even though I agree to a lesser extent, more like not good) without any argument. Care to elaborate?

Now he will post everywhere that he have a tx of a transaction but blockchain do not show it Smiley
And perhaps he will consider to sue blockchain or you Smiley

Depending on your definition of "looking real".

If anyone is interested, and has spare time to stare at photos of empty ocean, there's a crowd sourcing effort to trawl through satellite images of one of the search areas. Yesterday they were showing a set from March 9, today they are showing images from March 12.

It can be found at https://www.digitalglobe.com/ top of the page.

At least now if people are complaining "I wish I could do something" you can send them there.


The average Joe does have time to waste for such an activity.
I don't.
We should post this on one of the image boards. The guys there already spend most of their time browsing through countless pages of images.

Indeed Smiley Smiley

I would like to have one of these bitcoin's stockpiles Smiley

I'll sell you mine for $1M.
And how many BTC are you selling for that price?

There are so many online casinos that accept Bitcoin that it is very confusing as to who to trust.
this is true. it's really extremely hard to establish a successful casino website and gain enough trust for the players to realize you are for real.
However there are some, like PrimeDice which I'm currently advertising for.

Bitcoin offers innovation as compared to the dollar such as semi-anonymous electronic payments, decentralization and low fee transactions comparing to banks. While 99% (not all of them) of altcoins offer tweaked versions of Bitcoin or Litecoin without any useful features and often premined.

so they are all the same, except for the waste of energy caused by PoW mining

you are just repeating slogans, not thinking
Well, those that use other methods of securing the blockchain and succeed in it are the 1%. However, I'm talking about all those coins created every day almost identical to each other, made to bring profit to the owner.

it didn't even cross my mind that one of those failures could ever influence Bitcoin in any way.

Most people feel this way about bitcoin in regard to USD. Would you still be interested in cryptocurrency despite this fact?

If so, well...


Despite the fact that USD is more widely used than Bitcoin? Well, yeah, I am know. Bitcoin offers innovation as compared to the dollar such as semi-anonymous electronic payments, decentralization and low fee transactions comparing to banks. While 99% (not all of them) of altcoins offer tweaked versions of Bitcoin or Litecoin without any useful features and often premined.

well, I guess you deleted your response

It has been over 24 hrs since I sent BTC  Transaction still unconfirmed. It was sent using QT wallet and 0 fees. Howl ong does it take? Can I resend it using fees. They are going to cancel my order  Please help

Longest conf I ever had took 2 days. That was an anomaly though, but still.

Two days ? Smiley man Smiley
Using fees helps a lot Tongue and it is cheap so I do not get it why people are sending BTC without fees...
Sometimes people are very greedy, you know...

Seems like it is one of the reasons why they do not put a fee.
But is it the only reason or is there any other reason to do not put any fee while sending btc?

Because I see many users from this forum (Hero, Sr Members) are paying none BTC as a fee.
And I am wondering - is it only greed? Maybe there is something else that we should to know about it?
Smiley

Not really. I think some just are used to the early days of BTC where zero fee transactions were an every day thing,
