Rodeo - Good to have you aboard.

Would like you to speak out, and so to, your cohorts at the BTC Foundation. Amidst all of the allegations and conspiracy theorizing I can't imagine why such a transparent and noble group such as the bitcoin Foundation would remain reticent.

How can you, and anyone else involved at the 'Foundation NOT speak out on these matters???

Nice quote, btw.

The Revolution Will, indeed, be monetized

BTCitchin' out
I do try to refute these things when I see no basis for them. However it is hard to keep up with so many crazy theories. I have, for example, been accused of being an alien. I don't know how to respond to that.
This particular theory is not so crazy, some business may pay membership to have access to the forums. If I were CEO of PayPal I would do that. But so what? They are welcome to join. It's not like membership gives them any advantage over other bitcoin users.
One thing I have learned here is that some people desperately want a grand conspiracy. They can't accept that the government does not know about nor give a crap about bitcoin. So they invent a story about the CIA or secret societies. After a while they forget that no facts back the story and choose to believe their own fantasy.  Perhaps they just want to be part of something bigger than their real lives?

the good news about your goal is that since bitcoin is open source you can do what you want. You might just build the next killer app for bitcoin or figure out a business model that works well with the blockchain.
I wish I had an idea for you, but I can't come up with one. Still, I think someone will have a million euro idea this year. Could be you.

I'm going to guess it has little effect. It doesn't change anything right?  Huh

It changes everything.  Now bitcoin lacks that crucial cryptocoin property of having an unknown anonymous creator who invented it under his own real name.  See?  Can't you see now why everyone is selling?
Does this make it another stupid alt coin?  Cry



Another stupid altcoin? So bitcoin is now an altcoin derived from itself?
I was just kidding. If we know the creator, well it's just alt-ish. lol

If you know the foundation has been "infiltrated" by Dr. Evil, then do tell. Who is this evil mysterious person?

5747  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi's Daughter Says Her Father Distrusted Government on: March 06, 2014, 03:44:16 PM
well... remember when the US gov't (unlawfully) used Census data to track down and imprison Japanese-Americans during WWII?
That crossed my mind as well. It is a story this guy must be well aware of living in California. It would leave an impression of distrust on me.
5748  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If that really is Satoshi, how can we help him? on: March 06, 2014, 03:35:44 PM
Unfortunately he lives in CA. That is going to make body guarding him difficult. You can't even carry a gun in that backwards state. A law not obeyed by criminals.
Or maybe he does not need help? We don't actually know if Satoshi owns any bitcoins, though it seems likely.

Interesting stuff. But I'm skeptical of the James gang connection. Being from Missouri I can tell you that every antique found in the state claims a connection to Jesse and Frank. Even in my own family there is a story/legend of my great grandmother dating Frank. (makes me wonder about her. Maybe she was a hooker or something?)  Lips sealed

What is your price range?
I don't know enough about diamonds really. I am finding that a good price for the 1ct. center stone runs about $3,500.

Thanks to Ritual and nitehawk. I'll check into your suggestions.

5754  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is it possible to have something like the Bitcoin without mining? on: March 06, 2014, 02:01:32 AM
Mining does solve several problems with a trust-less currency that are otherwise very difficult. For example it distributes the money in a fair way that provides scalable incentives to run the network. Otherwise who gets the coins first? And why would people run hardware in support of the network? There may be a way I'm not smart enough to see, but mining is important in Satoshi's system of rewards and restraints.

Wow that picture is amazing! A garden subdivision?

Can I add to your theme the option of CSA's? If you can't grow your own food you might try community supported agriculture. You buy a share of a farmers crop each year and receive weekly shipments. Then you at least control your food supply somewhat. Because our farmer is organic, we get a discount on insurance that makes it cheaper than buying grocery store vegetables.

Dank, you mostly talk about peace and seeking enlightenment and I think you are part of an ancient tradition in that regard. It surprises me how much hostility is directed at you for your writings on a message of peace and love. Maybe people think your messing with them. or heck, maybe you are. In any case I'm cool with your non-violent path, even though my path uses science to find answers.

Good production values on the video. Nice job!

It says it will miss us. We need to be praying for it to hit us if we want to see a miracle.  Cheesy
Yeah praying will influence an asteroid.  Cheesy
I bet when it does miss us that will be claimed.

I have a question though. I just read your signature, is there any precautions I should take now to prevent permanent damage.

Oh God no! If you read that it is too late already. 
You seemed like such a nice guy, I...I will... miss you. Cry

The mods here are not investigators who have time to determine the legitimacy of an offer. It is buyer beware with bitcoin. You seem to have done your homework and protected yourself. Others will need to do the same.
