Well I sort of replied to macgsa again. Sorry this is getting off topic of this thread. Wexlike in theory you can mix your coins after purchase through the exchange, then obscure which coins are yours. Hopefully you'll be selling in the future to a buyer who is handing you physical gold, cash, or physical/virtual goods & services. For example xmr.to shapeshift.io allow you to pay in XMR to a BTC merchant. However you do raise one issue which is that authorities can force you to reveal your private keys if they know you ever purchased coins. So then the mixes become useless. Also by unmasking others, the anonymity sets for all reduce and everyone's anonymity suffers. So yes there needs to be a way for people to obtain anonymous currency anonymously via mining and selling their services anonymously. You could in theory rent compute time on Amazon AWS to mine coins anonymous, but then again can you trust that your code uploaded to AWS isn't tracked? You see without an anonymous internet, the entire thing is hopeless. So the current crop of anonymous coins are incomplete. |

Proving that the developer did not enrich himself or a few people at the expense of the widespread distribution needed to gain network effects, is not only ethical but also probably wise.
We'll have to see how it ends up in Darkcoin/Dash's case.
Ultimately I think investors and users of anonymous coins are going to choose the best technology. Someone will need to speak to the market in a clear language because users and investors are not familiar with technobabble.
Usually what happens in a market where there is confusion over contenders, is something changes where suddenly there is something that is head & shoulders better and the market sees it clearly.
I expect that will be the case again soon.

I don't know if XMR fulfills your anonymity needs, but this time around, seems to be the best there is for most people. Besides, it seems to enjoy the warmth of the pockets of some of the strongest players within the BTC infrastructure.
Hey that is all good. I have no complaint. I don't think it entirely fills my needs, but it is better than nothing. |

Bottom line is the USA is too big. The only real change would be the candidate that said he was going to downsize the Federal government and return more power to the States. Rather I hear all these candidates talking about moar Big Gov solutions. As if the free market can be top-down fixed. Trump thinks he can top-down engineer the Middle East, trade, etc.. Sounds great, until you think about it. I don't expect Americans to think. Edit: Rand Paul might be the exception, and Trump said, "I like him, but he can't win" (may have been referring to Ron Paul not Rand). You can see Trump wince when Rand Paul speaks, because Trump believes in "get 'er done" top-down organization. Rand Paul follows more in the line of anarchist thinking of Ron Paul and Libertarians. Trump is correct. There is no way to elect a President who would downsize the DEEP STATE. What I heard from Cruz was somewhat reasonable but appears to me to be not a powerful enough personality to be electable. MA is misreading the implications. Yes Americans are rising up to support a candidate that appears to be anti-establishment, but again they will be fooled by their desire to have change originate from the Federal government. The only real change can come from grass roots actions. And so I think I better go back to programming, don't you. The surgeon candidate Carlson is humorous. But so naive. You can find an example of this phenomenon over in Cypherdoc's thread. Edit#2: Drudge poll says Cruz came in second in the debate to Trump: http://www.drudgereport.com/now.htmEdit#3: the protectionism that leads to war has begun: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/629e0260-3c3d-11e5-8613-07d16aad2152.htmlDrudge report inciting Americans to lose their non-involvement in external conflicts culture: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3186229/ISIS-executes-19-girls-refusing-sex-fighters-envoy-reveals-sex-slaves-peddled-like-barrels-petrol.htmlTPTB are playing the Americans like fools (which they are!). Edit#4: put me on the podium with those candidates and I'd be executed the next day, because I would tell the people the truth which they don't want to hear. |

Regarding the Trump discussion (and resurgence in Republicans in general), I have concluded the winner will be...
...the military-industrial complex.
Right on time with MA's War Cycle, which expects war and pandemic to start going hot in 2017 and really accelerating into 2018.
We'll get the increased military spending. The reduced taxes won't matter because the world is going to be so fucked by the rising interest rates and War Cycle, that no one will be able to avail of the opportunities to start businesses in the tangible industrial age economy.
The Knowledge Age doesn't give a shit about the taxes any way, since they will be 0 for the anonymous internet coming.
A global smashup ahead. Trump card doesn't change anything and if anything this lurch back to the hard right politics accelerates it.
Now we see why the USA must break apart into regions as MA predicts. It is because the morass can not be changed from WA D.C. After 2017, the Americans will start to realize they have to take matters into their own hands.
The Feds will fight the militias. The country will break into parts. The world will be a much different place.
Crazy world we are heading into. Be prepared accordingly.
Edit: Rand Paul alludes to Trump being beholden to special interests. That Trump is loudly declaring that he isn't, is probably telling us that he is. Of course he knows he can't win without playing ball with powerful interests. He openly admits the realities of leverage. Trump is obviously willing to appease the NSA and military-complex in order to go after hard-nosed trade deals. He will appear to be a populist but is a wolf in sheepskin.
Trump represents a rise of fascist-capitalism in the USA. He is not talking about printing money the way the German socialists did, but instead it will be a hard lurch towards a brutal economic default coupled with military imperialism fully bankrupting Rome. As with Rome, the barbarians will later be at the gates of Rome and overrun it.
In fact, we need free trade and free markets. Rising protectionism is what lead to WW2. Trump is a very bad result for us.

I'm down with this, my kids do not have a bright future here.
Sorry adding bits as I move around, my kids have inherited their filipino citizenship as mum was one when they were born, my wife will need to re-acquire hers, since she has since become an Ozzie.
I will need to check this out so I am more certain.
It is a very easy process. Direct her to the DFA office when she arrives in the Philippines. In Davao, it is at the 3rd floor of the SM mall in Ecoland (not the SM Premiere in Lanang on other side of town from me). All three of them will be dual citizens and your wife can get Philippine passports for them. Very inexpensive. I did this along with my ex and kids. So I have done it. |

Anyway, I'm sure many other Europeans will explain the general zeitgeist here too.
Let's do a Steve Jobs and be brutally frank. Apparently feminism = hedonism. I've noticed how much Westerners are getting a thrill from teaching two women to eat each other's pussies. I think Nordic Europeans support feminism because it enables them to justify fucking non-virgins and then the hedonistic dominoes from there. It also frees the men from the obligation to raise children, if they can convince the women they are more powerful if they don't bear children. I've noticed here in the Philippines, the females are vehemently anti-abortion and anti-birth control. It is very, very difficult to get them to take birth control pills and they are not that happy about using a condom. These are real women who want to have the real happiness of bearing children and raising a family. My own mother criticizes me when I don't force the women I am involved with to use birth control pills! Europe has entered decadent Frankenstein mode and the USA is following close behind. I am not trying to be a moral dogmatic oppressor here. I know any of us can be influenced as we are human, but the thing is that once a man prefers to get happiness more from hedonism than from family, then the culture is broken. The society will collapse into an abyss. And this is precisely what is happening to Europe. How does a mother who has become bisexual raise her daughter and son  (not my mother) Sorry I am fairly open minded person and I've explored many things in life, but I can tell you there is a major difference between the gf I have now and some of the Western women. My gf values dogs, children, family. She could easily be a hedonistic queen given her D breasts and very attractive face (not to mention brown skin), but she is humble and wants the things that really make happiness. Those Europeans who support feminism are insatiable. They want to steal and have everything. They don't want any natural limits on society. They want that man is superior to nature. Why should a woman be limited to sex with only a man or a human? She can fuck a pet monkey and that is more freedom. Why must she bear children. It is better we educate the women to fuck more people, sexes, and things and have more freedom! It isn't enough for her to undress and fond herself on a webcam, instead the men want her to pee and insert objects into every orifice. And that is why they've run their debt sky high. And they can not change their system. They are addicted. bigtimespaghetti,
I added to my post after you quoted it.
The boomerang reaction to repression by religion is a supporting argument to the generative essence I stated, which is the people are reverting from fear of nature to boastful overconfidence disrespect for nature and the confidence that man can have everything he wants.
After the collapse, man moves too far to the other direction, and the new addiction will be the old one of religion again. Then man again disrespects nature (in a form of fear) and has the confidence that man can control everything other men want.
It is two extremes and both are founded in addiction and denial of reality. And both are founded in disrespect of the decentralized quality of free markets and nature, i.e. yes both extremes require collectivism.
The Republicans are trying to move back towards the old addiction. The Democrats want to move forward into the new addition. Conversativism vs. progressivism. Both are evil.
We need to put an end to this hamster merry-go-round using anonymity technology so the free market can be superior to collective power. Nature is a decentralized meritocracy.
I will quote this over in the Dark Enlightenment thread also.

... This is a fairly romantic view of the Australian character. True regarding modesty. And hile accurate in a general sense, it fails to mention the undercurrent of racism that has always been prevalent. At the moment you'll get a fair go (unless you're Muslim or Chinese). White Australia has continuously treated the Aboriginal population disgracefully, from outright murder and enslavement, to not giving them the right to vote (or be classified as human), to continually underfunding development. Aboriginals has poorer access to health, education, employment etc and even now, funding has been cut to remote communities. One of the biggest controversies of the last month has been the racist booing (called an ape, told to go back to the zoo) of an Aboriginal football player who has a) mentioned the way Aboriginals see Australia and his hopes to unite all and b) performed an Aboriginal dance on the field. With immigration post ww2 (outside of the horrendous White Australia Policy), each ethnic group that arrived was ridiculed and disliked until the next wave came; Greeks / Italians in the 60's, Vietnamese in the 70's, Lebanese in the 80's, Asians in the 90's, Muslims now. At the moment the Australians have a far right government that continues this racism for political gain by attacking Muslims and those seeking legal asylum (those fleeing the very wars Western nations have instigated). It is the main issue (along with anti climate policy) that led to their election. And as the government continues its disastrous decline in the polls after severe mismanagement and endemic rorting and lying, they are playing the terrorism card to its fullest (cancelling of passports for suspicious activities, decided by the Minister and not due process). They further aim to tax lowest wage earners and avoid acting on the billions of dollars lost by not taxing big multinationals. You must be European? Because your support for multi-culturalism is very apparent. (And that is why I would not even consider to migrate to an EU country) I am vehemently against multi-culturalism because it is just another way for TPTB to weaken the individual sovereignty of the men who are already present in an area. If we had a world with no government social welfare, then I would support a world with no borders. Who ever can pay their own way, can go where they like. But if you have the immigrants coming to alter the politics and voting for more and more expropriation from the wealthier citizens who were already present in the area, that is just another theft paradigm. I am against theft. Europeans for some reason wish to steal from themselves. And they are going to pay the price for it again, just as they did with Hilter 79 years ago (right on time with MA's 79.6 year cycle). Sorry I have always liked your astute comments up until now. And I am not trying to pick a fight with you, hopefully you can explain to me your position and we can agree to disagree. This is a reason I have a fundamental difficulty becoming politically symbiotic with most Europeans. They love socialism philosophically for some reason. Can any of you Europeans explain to me why It makes absolutely no sense to me. Don't Australians have an empathy for the underdog because they were always the underdog w.r.t. to the British who banished them? Yet it is natural that they see themselves as superior to the Aboriginals because they were the colonizers of Australia. It was necessary for them to adopt that belief system in order to steal the land of the Aboriginals. So they have wanted to be open to others who are underdogs yet they maintain the distinction of those who they think are more of the level of an Ape, such as crazy Muslims who behead people and Aboriginals who eat barbecued rats. I don't agree with stealing sovereignty from the Aboriginals, but I also don't agree with awarding them funding from the government. Let them have sovereignty over themselves and give them the same rights as citizens do. They were the original inhabitants. But don't give them (or anyone else!) social welfare! I can empathize with discrimination against Muslim (even though I know most are not fundamentalist nutcases) because look what they have done to Europe and they can't seem to get control of their nutcases (ISIS etc). So I say let them figure it out in their own lands. I also thought I heard that long ago Australians were a very male ego society and woman were second class, but lately I've come to believe they are more woman's lib? It is strange because when I first heard that during my travails to the Philippines in the early 1990s, I was more a women's lib guy and thought they were extreme and now later in life I have become against women's lib and now wondering why the Aussies have lost their masculinity? Let me explain this clearly so there is no misunderstanding. I am all for women achieving everything they can achieve. I would not discriminate if some female can do the work as well as a man. In fact, recently I recruited a PhD in math and a Masters in Math that were both female. And neither of them could handle the computer security requests and they couldn't handle the concepts of a society going F.U.B.A.R.. I have come to realize that there are innate differences between woman and men, and woman on average just aren't equipped with the same analytical interests nor the same priorities when it comes to building things and planning for the future. Females are more concerned about their kids and immediate family than anything else. Here follows some astute blogs from a guy you might think is a misogynist bigot rascist, but in reality his facts are correct. http://blog.jim.com/economics/the-future-belongs-to-those-that-show-up/ http://blog.jim.com/culture/the-false-life-plan/Men and women are happiest if successfully performing their traditional roles.

Whereas a male such as myself can lock himself in a programming cave and not see civilization for months while determined to reach a goal. Males were designed to tolerate pain and to prioritize hunting and strategic endeavors. Women not. They were design to rear children and manage the affairs of the local community. Those are damned facts. I wish someone could explain for me the European perspective? |

I don't understand why upthread comments say that you are only quoting data for one wallet. The above data is for all addresses on the block chain. Duh!  I think it is very likely that Bitcoin adoption has stalled. And it is very likely that active use is much less than a million users. There are likely a million+ users who hold balances though. I wouldn't worry about it. We are heading into a low price below $100 for Spring 2016, because the $usd is coming so strong due to the contagion in Europe, China, and developing markets. Commodities are declining. Next year we will bottom and see the interest in private assets grow again, but it will be driven more by anti-government sentiment (due to expropriation in the EU) and thus anonymous coins will receive much more interest than Bitcoin. Hi klee. Thanks for that. however, i was hoping for a chart resembling this, with gold charted in.  |

Males were designed to tolerate pain and to prioritize hunting and strategic endeavors. Women not. They were design to rear children and manage the affairs of the local community. Those are damned facts. I wish someone could explain for me the European perspective? |

I will likely be able to scrape up 50K worth of cash, and I do have valuable mechanical and electrical knowledge...
Then you are valuable to me. Also no need to get your wife and kids Uruguay citizenship. And you don't want to make your kids citizens of Uruguay because there is mandatory military service for every young adult citizen of any S.A. nation. Instead, your wife and kids can easily apply for dual citizenship of the Philippines. Thus they will have 2nd passports and thus can resist any dictates of the Australian government. As for yourself (not your wife and kids), shoot for the Dominica citizenship for $100,000 (or roughly $135,000 complete with all attorney's fees). Then you don't need to hassle with Spanish language tests nor the 3 year wait. Or if you prefer, then Paraguay since you don't need to reside there for the 3 year wait (you could do both, residency in Paraguay to get the clock ticking and shoot for Dominica). Peru is only 2 years but you must reside there 6 months a year. I don't particularly want to reside in Peru, but I might check it out. Since your wife and kids have Aussie passports, then you can get them into an S.A. country. Later if ever they had to renounce their Aussie citizenships (hopefully not!), you could get them a visa, because they'd already have established themselves in S.A.. If you can amass even $25,000 to invest by Spring 2016, then you should be able to reach that $135,000 goal by 2017 or 2018. If you can align yourself with wealthier expats to continue to earn, perhaps you can reach that goal sooner, maybe by late 2016 or early 2017. Hold your cash in $usd not Aussie dollars if you can. If you have valuable mechanical and electrical knowledge, then I suspect you can easily earn money on these S.A. ranches, because importing parts is so expensive so it is much better to repair them. I also have some mechanical and electrical knowledge, but I can't do everything (I'm already overloaded with TODO list and I will need to stop commenting here on this forum). Also if you can be a mechanic for vehicles that is another plus (I used to do it, but haven't since my 20s). I am more valuable as a programmer. You can imagine we will need our own backup solar or micro hydopower system for backup electricity. Wells and water pumps. Etc.. All sorts of stuff that requires maintenance. Even the weapons need to be cleaned and tested periodically. Also if I can attain wealth again (which is likely), I would be very much willing to pay a salary for a male who would be a maintenance man and security manager for any ranch I might purchase or rent. And very likely we would find other wealthy expats who want to join in our ranch and help share costs. If we live on a ranch in Argentina for example, we do not need to become residents and subjected to their tax system. We can stay there as tourists indefinitely even while owning and developing a ranch if we so choose. And if we have 2nd passports, it is very unlikely our 5 Eyes country can get us sent home. We have several last resort options at that point: - renounce the 5 Eyes citizenship if ever it becomes necessary (hopefully not)
- renounce both the 5 Eyes and the Dominica citizenship and fall under the protection of the UN Convention for Stateless Persons (host country can not kick us out)
- give birth to a child on S.A. soil, thus the child becomes an immediate citizen and the parents are also so protected against deportation and can apply for immediate citizenship
With a few like minded expats and our families, we can easily set up a paradise in one of these S.A. countries or even a Pacific island and ride out the coming bad years and properly defend it. I get along well with the sarcasm and joking of the Aussies. I have an Australian friend I've known from my Manila travails in the early 1990s. For perimeter early warning system we can set up a fenced corridor to keep out animals and run laser sensors which detect any intruder crossing the path. Thus we can easily be warned and respond to an intruder. Then we need only a few guys armed with AR-15 to deter any intruders. Better also is a tower with a sniper's rifle, scope, and night vision, and warning shots to the lower extremities using rubber bullets. Perhaps also an escape vehicle that has been bullet proofed. These days you bullet proof with a light weight material: http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/10/01/bulletproof-chevrolet-camaro-provides-performance-and-protection/http://www.texasarmoring.com/armored_vehicle_bulletproofing_materials.htmltrollercoaster, you simply need to become friends with wealthy who own a ranch. Perhaps you could even do that now in Australia and avoid needing to create a business. And/or you can come (or send your wife and kids to) Philippines to work on their dual citizenship paperwork. As for education for your kids, sounds like we have a community need if we have several expats and their families. Maybe we need our own small school and then we can dictate the education. Would be great if one of the wives is an elementary school teacher or has the ability to be one. She can teach the other females to help out. By the time they reach middle school or high school, we will have found suitable options. What you think? |

Let me know (PM or email) if either of you plan a trip to Peru, and we can arrange to have you picked up at the airport.
Thank you for the offer of hospitality. Reciprocally if you come to Davao. |
