I didn´t have time to follow the topic recently and there is too much pages to read, is here anybody who could shortly write where the stocks like DMS, BITVSP, PETA MINE, LABCOIN gonna move? Or if they don´t?
Go to the specific support thread for each of those issues.  If you don't know the thread title it should be listed on the "Details" tab for the stock at the BTCT website.  It is labeled "forum" or "support forum" or something similar.

just buy it, Obamacare isn't as HORRIBLE as fox news makes it out to be, if you don't have healthcare insurance YOU ARE A MORON.
Or maybe you just can't afford the Affordable Healthcare Act.

btw what does it cost for Obamacare ? just so i can compare it to the Mandatory basic health care insurance we have here in Quebec.
Affordable coverage of pre-existing conditions was a primary selling point of Obamacare.  An acquaintance has diabetes.  She went to sign up and found that the best plan she could get would cost $500+ per month in premiums and came with a $14,000/year deductible.  She didn't enroll and doesn't know if she will.

Ok people, just ignore the guy who actually met the person you're speculating about. I'm out. This thread's a blackhole 

Name dropper.

No one cares.  It's not Satoshi... I am the Satoshi.
This is Satoshi

Yes.  And that's me with her.  Where did you get this photo?

Nothing wrong with anything.  Money does have potential to be used for greed through bribery, paying off what you wouldn't do yourself.  But I happen to know humans are capable of creating goods without taking from the earth, for I have done so.  Then, money sorta becomes irrelevant.
Yes, it is the proverbial tool that can be used for good and evil.  Like a hammer.  Are you going to build a home or crack some skulls?

There are always unintended consequences when the government does something like this.  It seems (to me anyway) that one consequence of this give-away is that it would necessarily, directly feed inflation and/or devaluation of the currency.  By how much would be hard to guess.  I throw out a WAG that after this program has been in place for 15 months, it will cost at least 3.500 to 4.000 francs to purchase what that 2.500 francs would have bought prior to the start of this program.

No, I don't have any stats or info to back up that guess.  However I think it is naïve to think you can infuse that amount of cash into an economy, with no change (or even a negative change) in the work output, without causing inflation and/or a devaluation in the currency.
68  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Swiss to vote on 2,500 franc basic income for every adult on: October 08, 2013, 04:26:46 PM
Am I reading this right? "unconditional income of 2,500 Swiss francs ($2,800) per month from the state". Does that mean you get that amount of money even if you are capable of working and not working?
Conversely, I wonder if it means that you receive the money even if you are working and making a decent income?

Once more is known, we'll be sure to keep you all updated. You can expect clear and precise steps to be outlined for you if any are required for the transfer!

bump - Any further news on the transfer?

Some Silk Road users sold perfectly legal items, like art and books. I wonder if any of the legitimate users will be asking the FBI for their coins back?

They could have used more legal sites, such as Bitmit, or the forum Marketplace.

No.  No.  Legal means legal.  If I sell a hot dog on the same corner as a drug dealer, are my profits subject to confiscation? 
But if you sold them at an illegal dog fight pit they might be.

No. SR was not an "illegal place". Something illegal has been done there, but the website itself was not illegal. If someone is selling a stolen good on ebay, will everything sold there be illegal too? Of course not. They seized all the bitcoins they've found in the accounts, but I'm pretty sure that those belonging to (the few) people selling legal stuff there, could be (legally) returned back to the legit owner once the case is closed.
I thought that the FBI had deemed SR to be an illegal enterprise.  I can't find any source on that though, so I could be wrong.

I really doubt it was the government.  They had previously tabbed bitcointalk as too big to fail.  It's downfall could lead to the unraveling of the entire bitcoin economy.

oh wait

However, the court documents note that Canadian law enforcers have said there was no record of a homicide taking place in White Rock, British Columbia at the time.

Do you really think a person on the silk road just went up and shot someone. They probably used a poison method.

Death by poison would be considered a homicide as well, Sherlock..

Not if they aren't looking for it. Look up Robert "Iceman" Kuklinski, many of the people he killed were never linked due to the fact he used poison and it looked like a heart attack.
Considering that proof of the murder was sent via a photo, the method probably left more of a mark than poison or a heart attack.

It is well known photos cannot be edited and there is no such thing as makeup or special effects
I'm just saying that a picture of someone just lying there, with no obvious signs of trauma, wouldn't be much proof.

And again... for not too much $$$, you could get someone to stage paint a convincing headshot wound and snap a photo..
Christ, What are you arguing about?  I just said that it was doubtful that the method would have been poison or something similar.  The reason I say that is because the "killer" supposedly sent a photo as proof of the kill.  It would be very easy to fake that if it was poison, wouldn't it?  I mean a LOT easier than using photo shop, makeup, or special effects.  The picture wouldn't be very different than if the person was just sleeping.  So if only a photo was sent as proof, it seems that the picture would have to be more convincing than something that looked like the victim was just taking a nap.

"seized 3.2 million worth of bitcoin"

How would that have happened? Why isn't that money stored in safe cold storage?

Never been to SK, but I think this will turn out to be money in customer accounts / wallets as well as some temporary storage for recent transaction fees.

I found DPR's altoid account, but I don't see the silk road advert post dated January 29th, 2011. The earliest post is from February 25th, 2011, and is about running bitcoind on Debian...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3905;sa=showPosts;start=40

I suspect DPR deleted the post (wouldn't you?) and the FBI found it by requesting logs from bitcointalk admins.

Theymos, can you confirm?

Even if he could confirm, he is probably under restriction not to.
I thought this was the post they are referencing? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=47811.msg568744#msg568744

Yup - that's the one.  It is from 11 Oct 2011.  It's been necro'd with a bunch of posts today.
