The thing is, capitalism isn't really an ideology as such, it's just a formalization of the way the world works. You work, you create goods, you exchange goods, you have capitalism.
Anarchism, being the lack of an over-arching control, cannot oppose capitalism any more than it can oppose the laws of gravity or, (perhaps more aptly) fluid dynamics. The only way to suppress capitalism is by imposing control from above. Anti-capitalism is antithetical to anarchism.

"I'm starting to think that bitcoin as a store-of-value might end up being more attractive than bitcoin as a medium-of-exchange." -Gavin Andresen, 10-17-2010
Yes, that seems to be happening now. However, if MOE function falls too much it will quell SOV advancement (i.e., slow the price rise), which will allow MOE function to grow again, which will eventually spur SOV growth, which will interfere with MOE (but less now, since market cap is bigger), etc. So they may take turns leapfrogging each other.
The great thing about bitcoin is that it can turn from being a store of value to being a medium of change on a dime (pardon the pun). Want to save for a rainy day? Do so. Need to spend it? Do so. In many ways, it's a new paradigm. |

Anarchists think that work is a reward in itself
Who says? The anarcho-syndicalist. I bet he'd kill for a sandwich. |

Yeah, because the NSA has people being paid to listen to your phone lines, read your email and IMs, and intercept and read your regular mail.  I hear there's a thing called computers which can replace many people for a lot of repetitive tasks. Could be just a fad though. |

But for those of you who are considering buying USD, remember not to invest more BTC than you can afford to lose. Remember that you're dealing with an experimental currency that's only been around in its current form for about 40 years (and I'd add that the initial results of that experiment have not been promising). So be careful!

One way would be to have the sender sign a message with the private key of the origin address.
How many % can do this? I cannot  I was more like thinking: "take a random number 1-999 and PM it to me before you pay. Add that number of satoshi to your transaction to prove you sent it". I believe the "correct" way to do this is to generate a new public address for the transaction (though presumably you could reuse old ones). Though if your method is working, why mess with success? His method saves one loop in the ordering process and therefore speeds it up considerably. He doesn't need to be online and answering people with an address when they order. I quite like the system and I might actually use it for my casascius sales at some point. It's not a terrible system but it does mean you're charging different amounts to different people and just looks messy. If you do different addresses, it's "cleaner" but you'd really want to automate it. Then the buyer enters their details, and scans the resulting output QR, cuts & pastes (or enters the key manually if they're masochistic). I've been thinking this might actually be something that could be provided as a service by an external company, the resulting funds being funnelled into the end-seller's single public key and the order information either emailed or provided by an API. Disadvantage is that the external service gets a cut, of course. |

Copy/Paste always ensures Type-Freeness. It says "Unable to .." and the icon is gone, only the error message is being displayed. I cannot debug, the source is closed.
That sounds like it is unable to access the internet. It's not smart about caching the icons. That's also on my list of planned improvements. |

Yeah, the DDOS on Dwolla now appears to have been no accident-- they didn't want anyone getting buys in and preventing the inspiration of panic. Or raising the bottom.
If that was an organized market manipulation.
Hmmm.
It has occurred to me that some of the lag on Gox might be some kind of DOS attack since it has proven before that that induces panic selling. Seems like it would definitely be worth having some fiat on other exchanges in the event this happens again. In fact, it would be interesting to see if that is where a lot of the buying occurred. |

What's the public key in the app? I enter my btc address used in the pool and it does not work.
@Fireduck, the new PPS System looks promising as the pool has a lot of smaller miners, who will have yet another reason to stay.
It should just be the same one as the pool. Possibly you typoed? Make sure there are no spaces at the beginning or end also. If that doesn't help, let me know and I'll make sure that the next version has some debugging that would help. |

banks are businesses that want ot make money. Deposit boxes are one way of making money. They dont give a crap what you store there, as long as its not illegal.
Though at the one I used, they always gave you privacy when you accessed your box. |

I think it's interesting that we see these flash crashes but not so much the opposite, the price running up crazy followed by a rapid return to normal. I'm sure it means something, probably about psychology & stuff. If I believed in TA, I might name it something and spout some mumbo jumbo...

But at times like this flash crash it's not so good. I just tried to buy 20btc for my brother for GBP after he failed after finding blockchain.info/pingit is down and he couldn't get his head around LB himself. Then after that by the time I'd found my first choice was actually out of coin the price the opportunity had gone within the price range he wanted to pay . In the UK the problem is even worse than the States I think!
Yet despite all this enough buying pressure is getting through to the markets for this phenomenal growth. Surely that tells us something!
speedybitcoin.o.uk are pretty OK. They buy at market and there's a locked-in GBP to other-currency exchange built in but if you just want to buy bitcoins quickly without too hefty a cost, give them a look. Keep en eye on the strength of the pound vs other currencies though, they've already done that conversion and factor it into your costs |

I'm scared to go home now |

Anyone who thinks this is a catastrophe should remember that several years ago, the GBP fell 20c against the dollar, ~2 -> ~1.80 virtually overnight and is now hanging out around a little over 1.50. Now, that was a serious hit and supposedly a solid currency.

Nice little easter present for me. If it drops again, I'm in for more.

You can send me $90 too, feel free. Action is the trait of a real man.  Sorry, the fundamentals are all wrong. |
|
|

If $90 means nothing to you PM me and you can shoot me a BTC.
Yes. Because that's how investment works. You pay the broker your money and that's it. Goodbye money. Personally, I don't think that BTC is going to crash but if it did, $90 would be pretty insignificant to most people for being wiped out. Though if that's too rich for your blood, perhaps buy 1/2 or less. Besides, if you're living in a first-world country and that's too much for you, perhaps you shouldn't be thinking of investing anyway. Go flip some burgers and get some capital behind you. |

If they fan key log you password, they can access your key file. But sure, a key file is better than a four digit password.
Hard (but not impossible) to do with an air gap. |
