Taking advantage of others and not providing the service or product agreed upon beforehand.
5622  Other / Meta / Re: looks like a few posts were deleted... on: January 23, 2015, 07:24:15 AM
Any posts made on the 22nd were lost.

Edit:
About 8 hours of data was lost (anything after about Jan 21 21:44 UTC).


Can you salvage any of the lost data though? No backups of the disks at all?

Time goes by so much slower when you can't get on your favorite forum  Cool
5624  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Is Holding Steady on: January 23, 2015, 07:14:19 AM
I think it will stabilize around the $250 mark but nothing is 100% secure.

Russians are too much of nationalists to accept any other currency than their own ruble.

Glad to see the forum is back up and running after that downtime.

Do the aliens have fiat money as well? Someone should launch a QR code beacon in space for bitcoin donations Cool
5628  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fake transactions in the exchanges again? Don't trust your eyes... on: January 20, 2015, 11:32:55 PM
I sometimes wonder if all the hacked exchanges are just an easy way to siphon some coins out and label them 'lost' while avoiding police investigations.
5629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mentally coping with Loss - Thread on: January 20, 2015, 09:49:01 PM
Hey you took a shot at it and got a financial loss.  Losing sucks, period.

That said, this is a 6 year old project that hasn't even left beta, so chances of bumps in the road are inevitable.

Investing in unproven tech is always uber risky, and myself have suffered financial lumps during this process.

So for me, I can't tell you how to feel or what to do or how to cope, but personally....I'm gonna see this year 6 beta project called Bitcoin through!   Cool

Can't wait to see it when it reaches Alpha...

Alpha is before the beta version btw mate. Just pointing it out Grin

If the medicine advances so much in the future as to prolong the life expectancy to like more than 200 years than it's worth collecting huge amounts of money. Right now it's just getting golden toilets, Bentleys and chocolate desserts with golden toppings for $100k. Thanks but no thanks.
5631  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is made for all men women and Children world wide on: January 20, 2015, 08:50:43 PM
oh yeah, women and children better get to learning on how cold storage works.

If women can't even create a txt file in the appdata roaming folder and change the file extension to .conf, then obviously they shouldn't be allowed money in the first place.

Mate have you seen the speed of typing some women have on their cellphones it's scary lol  Grin
5632  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm back in! on: January 20, 2015, 08:44:19 PM
So the dust settled around $215 and people are buying in again in droves expecting the price to rise. Where is the catch?
5633  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will be bigger than Facebook on: January 20, 2015, 08:10:44 PM
Bitcoin already IS bigger than Facebook, because 1BTC is worth more than 1 Facebookaccount

Depends on whose Facebook account that is. Some celebrity accounts are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
5634  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: GAW Miners, Josh Garza, Paybase, Paycoin - SEC investigation on: January 20, 2015, 08:04:38 PM
Quote from: coinfire.cf
... a statement from Mr. Garza in August of 2014. Mr. Garza stated that a percentage of the profits for ZenPool came from “day trading.” The fact that he stated it was from day trading created a situation in which, according to various securities laws, makes it a security.

So the ZenPool is not a mining pool? It's a "day trading" fund!

I have never understood their Paycoin. Why deviate from what they were doing well before (mining) and introduce this Paycoin thing and created a media crisis and now investigations by the SEC.

Most likely greed happened. You reap what you sow as they say.

20.01.2015

Soccer * Nantes - Lyon (Draw or Away @1.25)
Soccer * Liverpool - Chelsea (Home or Away @1.32)
Soccer * Yzeure - Valenciennes (Home or Away @1.27)

Total odd > 2.10

I personally think the Chelsea-Liverpool game will be likely a draw.

5637  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Serves you right bitches on: January 18, 2015, 04:26:27 PM
Wanted to make a quick buck? Thought you found the short-cut to endless riches? Serves you right bitch, the punishment is only proportional to your greed and the damage done to Bitcoin by the bubble you derps caused.

Back at the day when I was new to bitcoins you could buy them at about 6$ per coin, wish I could travel back in time and slap myself on the head and invest all I can gather into them.

derp

I fail to see how is this relevant, when I buy I am an ideological ally to the Bitcoin cause, I hold and not sell at the sight of the most worthless news. e.g. not a speculator. Bitcoin can crash to 80 cents as far as I care, despite the fact that I hold BTC I understand that it wouldn't matter long term.

Yes I let myself get convinced by some ivy league schmuck to not invest into Bitcoin when it was <10$, I am still well off by now but I haven't stopped biting my elbows ever since. Should be on a yacht getting my dick sucked right now, instead of living the life that everybody deserves anyway.

There you go, the entire reason of this thread.  YOUR OWN GREED LUST!

You have the mind of a child.

Just because you lost is no reason to call coiners suckers; just because you got suckered...

Normal people lick their wounds and get back into battle.

I'm making a reasonable second income with Bitcoin but I know wtf I'm doing and own a Gold Mining business.

Price will keep tanking too before it sees a strong uptick, from necessity (Need now) buys rather than lower price is better.

I now mine, resell miners, sell contracts... if you do nothing, nothing will happen.

Bitcoin allows me to get an income over winter, it pays all my winter bills so I can bag my gold.

Heck, right now, it's heating my entire office!  Save a grand or so a month in the making  Grin

PS: We all had the chance to buy below $10 owning a yacht with pretty women, NOT JUST FUCKING YOU!!!  



Are you seriously making money mining right now because the electricity costs are more than what the profit could even cover? Or you have free energy.

If bitcoins can buy me toilet paper and food in a timely manner then yes cash is not so important any more Grin

you can always trade bitcoin for fiat to buy toilet paper and food.

Not if you have eaten 2 baskets of chicken wings and your butt is going to explode while you are wating for the blockchain transaction to get confirmed lol
