You can support your family with a Bitcointalk account? Wow. Even if I tried to monetize it, it wouldn't cover the cost of my internet access. I wonder if Theymos realizes the economic devastation that would ensue if this board ceased to exist. No pressure there.

Wow. I can't believe I got outbid in the 11th hour! I thought I had a lock on this. Guess I learned a valuable lesson about when not to grocery shop.

If given the opportunity to burn your Country's Flag for a $100,000 payment, will you?
Be very Sincere.
Sure! Old, tattered or torn flags are frequently incinerated when retired. If I got 100Gs for doing that, I could throw a very nice retirement party for it

Appreciate all the work you're putting into reopening the WO thread, Theymos. Glad you didn't take the easiest route and decide to leave it locked. So, bumping it up, it looks like we have the following names for potential moderator: lightfoot - "I would go with a largely hands-off option, no directly blasting other people, no posting marketing crap, simple stuff"
yefi - "I'll throw my hat into the ring if there's a shortage though"
arklan - "if mods are needed, i have the time to do it"
kurious - "'Happy to help any team on a part time basis if it will keep the WO going in a fashion as close to its original anarchic form as possible'"
Erkallys - "I candidate if this is needed. At least I have no hatred toward me as well as any fanboy." - "I would not be too strict on moderation, and I am available all day long."
BlindMayorBitcorn - [No stated "style of moderation" AFAIK. Please update]
infofront - "I'm not a prolific poster, or well known personality, but I'd volunteer to help moderate. I started the "unmoderated" wall observer thread because I believe in the laissez-faire nature of Adam's thread. "
Lauda - "I could create one, and would if someone were to get something like ChartBuddy running again." <-- from another thread but related to this one. Proof below.
Perhaps now that someone else has taken the initiative to start another self-moderated wall observer thread, it can continue to live on in the speculation folder without causing undue distress and extra work for the moderators.
I could create one, and would if someone were to get something like ChartBuddy running again. This looks about right - 5% leaders, 95% followers. Do we need to wait longer for volunteers to come forward or can we open a voting thread now? Maybe we need a voting thread on how long to wait? Who's gonna jump the shark?

why am i getting this error ? [root@localhost vanitygen]# ./vanitygen 1ad Difficulty: 78508 vanitygen: pattern.c:164: vg_exec_context_init: Assertion `vxcp->vxc_key' failed. Aborted I would say based on this from the pattern.c code 163 vxcp->vxc_key = vg_exec_context_new_key(); 164 assert(vxcp->vxc_key);
points back to this (still in pattern.c) 43 EC_KEY * 44 vg_exec_context_new_key(void) 45 { 46 return EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name(NID_secp256k1); 47 }
Try this command openssl ecparam -list_curves If secp256k1 isn't in the list, that's your problem. What OS are you running?

Good BOOST for monday.
The boost won't be that big. Japan still isn't the leader in trading. Also, somebody should investigate how their Bitcoin businesses are really doing. I suspect there could be big interest in the currency but only out of curiosity and very little real use. Last time I heard, Japanese were all over bitcoins. They were buying like hell and also that the bitcoin price in Japanese exchanges was pretty higher than the other exchanges. I'm going to hazard a guess that it was 8% higher or thereabouts? The Japanese were paying 8% more for buying Bitcoin (and altcoins) from abroad - now they wont be. Going forward, we should see parity with other exchanges or there will be an awesome arbitrage opportunity.

So a country does have a birthday nowadays. My question is who is the parents?
I guess you could say Britain and France were our parents, with France clearly being the Mother part!! Meet the grandparents! First Nation Chiefs circa 1867

Most Bitcoin critics often cite crime as reason for wanting Bitcoin obliterated. I doubt crime is the real reason. . It could well just be a subconscious thing they have no control over:: like Hatred for the weak, poor and middle class, Preference for elitism, fascism and dictatorship,
PROOF: Tools like VPNs and Proxies almost have thesame capability as Bitcoin but you hardly hear the complain about them.
To be honest, most people with this weird ideology don't really have problems with people becoming financially independent . Their problem is just the FREEDOM money brings to people. They wouldn't give a damn about your wealth so long as you are totally under their control.
That's not proof! It doesn't even constitute evidence. How did you conclude that VPNs and proxies have almost the same capability as Bitcoin?

Can you describe the mechanism that "they" would use to drag the price floor of a Bitcoin to $1? Who is "they"?
Already did, war of attrition. Miners will not mine at a loss forever. They just tank the price on exchanges and then miners either immediately turn off their machines or do a few weeks later. If you look at things like litecoin hash rate vs price lately, these Chinese are turning on and off machines almost immediately as price fluctuates. Once they tank the price on exchanges either with real coins or synthetic derivatives, even if cost of production of a coin was once $10,000, there is no reason to pay that anymore since you can mine a never ending stream of coins as transaction fees for however low they want to tank the cost of production to. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that bitcoin has no price floor, does not function as a store of value, and is much easier to destroy by financial manipulation than gold or silver are. Does it take a rocket scientist to tell me who "they" are? Who is going to tank the price to begin this war of attrition?

If the "Powers that be" can and do on a regular basis as you put it, crash the price of gold/silver, then how are any investments in gold or silver a proper store of value?
They play Keynesianism in the commodities market and naked short metals down trying to cap them at like 5-10% above cost of production. This means they're usually a good buy in general since you're getting them practically at cost, with the price being almost entirely a derivative of oil. Oil EROI is currently collapsing, which will soon collapse the ability to manipulate metals. As for bitcoin, bitcoin cost of production is floating - recursive based on it's own demand. Bankers don't naked short metals below cost of production because it's counterintuitive and would create enormous scarcity. It would also bankrupt miners, creating even more scarcity, so they try to rig it right above production cost. However, if bankers ever want to naked short bitcoin, it's VERY productive since they can easily play a war of attrition and literally delete any price floor which they cannot do in metals. Metals actually have a cost of production price floor and bitcoin doesn't. They can drag the bitcoin cost of production floor down from $10,000 each all the way to $1 if they want to. That's something you can never do in metals. The only thing that could stop them from doing so in bitcoin is if it became the unit of account of something, but since like I said, it doesn't function as a store of value having no price floor, it's unlikely to happen when better alternatives like metals exist that actually can function as a store of value. Am I wrong or to store $1Mill in silver one would need almost 2.000KG of silver?
Weight is irrelevant in current state. It just means you will make more money when the GSR collapses closer to historical levels (15:1) when their Comex rigging blows up. It's like claiming, "o god, buying 100 pounds of gold is too heavy for $10 an ounce". No, nothing is too heavy if you get a good deal on it. Can you describe the mechanism that "they" would use to drag the price floor of a Bitcoin to $1? Who is "they"?

International package up to 2kg from Amsterdam cost ~ €25 for shipping. If it was found and is being kept at the bar, is there nobody working there willing to ship it to you?

every muslim must be fasting in ramadan. like me, but there are no a single lady full fasting in 30 day. you know that i mean?
No idea what you mean. Can you draw us a picture? Edit. Don't you eat at night during Ramadan?

Yes! Coincidentally, the Fast of the Holy Apostles began this year on June 12th and ends on June 29th with the Feast of SS. Peter and Paul. It is one of the lesser fasts of the Eastern Orthodox religion. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are strict fast days - no meat, no dairy, no wine and no oil. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we can have wine and oil but still no meat no dairy and on Saturdays and Sundays we can include wine, oil and fish but still no meat or dairy. Generally, any of the meals we take will be much smaller than normal during this time.
