I have to agree that infowars has a record for over-sensationalizing things just to drive mania. However, they're usually on to things before they come to pass but they are in the fear mongering business and sell survival type stuff. Their chief, Alex Jones, has a radio show that you can tune into if you want a wild ride.

He sure as hell does. His squad comes up w/ zingers that rival what Team Palin come up with. Rand is just foaming at the mouth to pick Hillary apart and that's what is quite appealing in him as mainstream donors get to know him.

Awesome. San Francisco is an awesome city. I am not sure there is a more beautiful waterfront in the world. Nothing says living like a cup of coffee in Sausalito over looking the bay with the city in the distance. I'm sure it is a beautiful view and all but that city is ran by crooks and thieves and there's drug addicts roaming the streets like rabid dogs. If you ever get a chance, tune into the Michael Savage show as he lives there and goes into detail about how it is there. He's pretty entertaining too.

It is a bad idea for new IPOs while not paying dividends on previous ones! CryptoVest is just adding another platform to their IPO and they keep their shareholders' contact info offline so their investment is safe. Plus, CV has a determined sales/customer service team and a solid business model so I expect great things from them. Even though some of the past securities have been scammish, it seems that some more legit ones are up and coming.

San Francisco - The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) asked a judge today to schedule an emergency hearing, after learning that the government is apparently still destroying evidence of NSA spying despite a temporary restraining order (TRO) issued by the court in March. In an order issued in response this afternoon, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White instructed the government not to destroy any more materials and file a brief responding to EFF's allegations by 12 p.m PT on Friday.
"In communications with the government this week, EFF was surprised to learn that the government has been continuing to destroy evidence relating to the mass interception of Internet communications it is conducting under section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act even though the court explicitly ordered it to stop in March," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "Specifically, the government is destroying content gathered through tapping into the fiberoptic cables of AT&T."
She added: "Once again, the government has apparently secretly and unilaterally reinterpreted its obligations about the evidence preservation orders, and has determined that it need not comply. Today marks a year to the day that Edward Snowden leaked documents confirming the NSA's massive spying, yet the government is still engaging in outlandish claims and gamesmanship – even destroying evidence – to block an adversarial court ruling on whether its mass spying is legal or constitutional."
EFF filed its Jewel v. NSA lawsuit in 2008. In recent weeks, declarations from the government in the Jewel case made it clear that the government has destroyed five years of the content it collected between 2007 and 2012, three years worth of the telephone records it seized between 2006 and 2009, and seven years of the Internet records it seized between 2004 and 2011, when it claims to have ended the Internet records seizures. In an emergency hearing last March over that evidence destruction, Judge White issued the current TRO, ordering the government to stop any further destruction of records or content until the matter could be sorted out.
"There can be no dispute that the government was aware of the broad scope of this TRO, and in his order this afternoon, Judge White confirmed that it reached materials gathered under Section 702," Cohn said. "We're asking Judge White to enforce the order and impose on the government whatever further measures are necessary to ensure that no further destruction of evidence occurs. It will be very interesting to see what the government says in its defense in its briefing tomorrow." https://www.eff.org/press/releases/court-again-orders-government-not-destroy-evidence-nsa-spying-caseMuch thanks to Snowden and the Ace Journalist Glenn Greenwald for these revelations. Of course, this shows that courts take the back bench to the spying chiefs.

Just take a deep breath, calm down and just focus on doing this venture of yours. It may take time and extra effort but you'll be able to clear up your errors and make good. Spend as much time as you can applying yourself to your business and you won't have the time to drift into an idle time zone. It's truly your choice as to whether you bounce back or not. Show some guts and put your mind right.

Why dont we build our own Cryptostocks exchange. Need 2 main guys that runs the exchange, 2 developers, 2 guys do the support. We raise a funds and investors are stockholders.
We only need trustworthy transparant guys that can run it. Raising a funds isnt a problem im sure of it.
Agreed, need a couple decent community organizers to step up and create an IPO and I'd put a coin into it as a shareholder. CS charges .005 to withdraw so there's definitely a way to undercut that and still be pretty profitable. Then, we can host all the other securities plus the new ones that will come out this year and next, we'd be booming.

http://www.kltv.com/story/25635541/gun-homicides-down-dramatically-americans-unawareTYLER, TX (KLTV) -
It seems there is something in the news every day about gun violence. The recent mass shooting in Isla Vista, California, a movie theater riddled with bullets in Colorado, children and teachers gunned down at school in Connecticut, and the list goes on. While you may be seeing more and more shooting, the fact is, overall gun homicide rates have dropped dramatically over the past two decades, according to a recent study.
More than half of Americans believe gun violence has increased over the past two decades, but what you’re watching on the news, may be skewing your view.
That recent study said compared to 1993, the peak of US gun homicide, the rate was 49 percent lower in 2010, even though the population had grown. In other words, fewer people are dying by guns.
Assaults, robberies, and sex crimes also went down by 75 percent in 2011. Perhaps images from shooting crime scenes seem all too familiar, but perhaps the attention to gun violence in recent months has caused more Americans to be unaware that gun crimes are actually markedly lower than they were two decades ago.
There have been about two mass shootings per month in the US over the past five years, according to another report. A mass shooting is constituted as four deaths or more, but this study said each year less than one percent of gun homicides are from mass shootings. Between 1983 and 2012 there were 547 deaths from mass shootings. These shootings are highly publicized and the public is paying close attention.
“I don’t normally just read on it all the time, but when there’s a mass shooting or something like that and it’s big on the news, yes I do read about it and I take part in online debates and stuff,” Anna Katrina Pecson, a Tyler resident, said.
No story received more public attention from mid-March to early April 2013 than the debate over gun control. Though, seeing is believing, numbers don’t lie.
The study also noted more than half of gun-related deaths are suicides. Researchers aren’t sure why gun violence has gone down so drastically, but the study did note that the decline has slowed over the past decade compared to the rapid reduction in the 90’s. Tell the MSM and the progressives to put that in their pipe and smoke it. The actual study is at http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/files/2013/05/firearms_final_05-2013.pdf

So when is the post cut off day for the next payment period? Last time it was June 1st, right? So I'm guessing if you plan to pay around June 9-11 the cut off will be posts before June 8th? Is that correct?
Recent payout was for June 1st and FXO said next weekly payment will be paid on June 8th (after a week). If there will be a delay, yes It could be on 9-10 June or some but the payment should be on June 8 with no delay. It doesn't matter to me if the payment jogs a few days as long as it comes, that's the key. This way, the payee isn't scrambling and counting posts after midnight of the end period; they can just get to it the next day and just ring everyone up for all their good posts prior to the deadline.

We need a good crypto stock site, I would love to invest but not with such an unreliable platform.
If you do decide to invest, don't do it on a site that doesn't care enough about making your full transaction history and trading history available, at any time... (and not just through the API, which CS doesn't even make available there, either) No logged history, is never something you should accept from a site that deals with financials. EVER. =squeak= At least CS allows for the venture owners to access your email address and it's linked to your share ownership so if there was a prolonged DDOS or outright meltdown, then you could still get your divs on a different wallet. Of course, it would be a headache to manually pay out divs in micros every other day til they were able to get us on another platform. As it currently stands, most of the securities out there are listed on CS so if you're trying to invest in some of these great ventures, that's the situation here. The key thing in investing here imo is that at least business can be done offline if necessary and that the security owners don't run off. RETURN is the best and CryptoVest is an up and coming favorite of mine.

That was fast The Weare Police Department settled with the Free State Project President for $57,500.After being trounced in the 1st federal circuit court, the Town of Weare and the notoriously corrupt Weare Police Department have settled with Free State Project President Carla Gericke to the tune of $57,500!
After Weare police had arrested her for “wiretapping” for recording a traffic stop then dropped the charges, Carla sued. She had recently won an “interlocutory” appeal case where the 1st circuit decided (again) that there is an established right to record government police doing their job in public and that police cannot claim “qualified immunity” from personal liability when arresting videographers.
The civil case against Weare, the WPD, and the individual officers was remanded back to the federal district court to move ahead to trial, but now that trial has been canceled with the news that Weare has given up and settled the case for over $57,000! Plus, there are no restrictions on her discussing the case, as are typically found with settlements. Congratulations to Carla and her attorneys for this epic win! cont... http://freekeene.com/2014/06/04/weare-police-settle-with-fsp-president-for-57500/https://www.facebook.com/Martin.Hipple The law firm that handled the case.

Waiting of Governor's signature but just goes to show how liberty minded the NH state legislature is, partly because of the Free State Project. Today, the New Hampshire House and Senate gave final approval to a bill that bans government officials from obtaining “information contained in a portable electronic device” without a warrant “signed by a judge and based on probable cause.” It now goes to the Governor Maggie Hassan’s desk for a signature.
The bill sets up a direct legal conflict with federal surveillance programs as well. It reads, in part:
“Government entity” means a federal, state, county, or local government agency, including but not limited to a law enforcement agency or any other investigative entity, agency, department, division, bureau, board, or commission, or an individual acting or purporting to act for, or on behalf of, a federal, state, county, or local government agency. “Government entity” shall not apply to a federal government agency to the extent that federal statute preempts state statute.

That's my general outlook on things in this crypto movement as well and it's what is in the back of my mind whenever I describe BTC to people, friends and family. Some just laugh it off or have heard of the negative news and want nothing to do with it. On one hand, I can understand their concern in that they've saved all their life or have been burned before. On the other, if they don't do their due diligence and study things like I have, then I have no regrets if they miss out. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink or in this case, think. I don't mean for this to happen but there's a bit of a superiority complex building for those that do "get it" and have a vision to get outside of the govt created box of institutional slavery.

Yeah, I'm really happy about this venture and am pleased w/ the way the biz plan is laid out in such a thoughtful manner. I just reread the plan again and it was pleasure reading. The amount of services being offered across the board makes me bullish on this endeavor and am a proud shareholder. If people haven't read the plan through thoroughly or took a cursory glance, I highly recommend going through it w/ a fine toothed comb. The team of people involved here is top shelf which makes me enthusiastic about its future. If you see what I see, this is a great venture to get on board w/.

I'm super thrilled to see this press popping up on CNBC of all places as it's where the investor class keeps tabs on things. People are probably sitting back not knowing what to think as they've likely heard all the bad press and figure BTC is doomed and we're all suckers. Then, they hear a giant talking about integrating it and then their minds get blown.

That's weird, I swear I saw a press posting here about the 1st qtr of 2014 being 4 times higher than all of last year in terms of VC money pouring in. But either way, I'll take this a positive news and puts the writing on the wall for the later this year and beyond.

^That list can't be totally correct as I can't for the life of me see EFF working w/ the Feds on matters of this sort. I mean, they're the usual ones taking the feds to court for overreach steps. Makes no sense.

Now that everything is back to normal for now, I feel we can get back to project reviews. The most impressive Security right now in terms of dividend returns is RETURN. They are some great traders and know that business well translating into ~30% gains per month. Their 2nd IPO went fast and all shareholders are pleased w/ the div payments every other day.
