61  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A letter to the community from Matthew N. Wright on: April 12, 2012, 01:39:55 PM
I manage a group of maintenance workers at Wally World (Wal-Mart).

Phil gave me a long apology about how he spends too long cleaning bathrooms for the third time. He told me he has finally improved.

I just wish he would just do and not care what I think.

I wish you would just release the magazine I paid for and stop telling me how great it's going to be.

Your customers come first. Not your talent. Not your magazine but the people you're serving. Without them, you have nothing unless you are doing charity (you aren't). You have costs and relationships to pay and maintain.

You aren't going to stay in business with this crap, Matthew. Get your shit together.

65  Other / Off-topic / My final words -- at least for a long while. on: April 03, 2012, 01:46:26 AM
No hoary falsehood shall be a truth to me; no cult or dogma shall encramp my pen. I break away from all conventions. Alone, untrammelled. I raise up in stern invasion the standard of the strong. I gaze into the glassy eye of your fearsome Jehovah and pluck him by the beard; I uplift a broadaxe and split open his worm-eaten skull.

I blast out the ghastly contents of philosophic whited sepulchers and laugh with sardonic wrath! Then reaching up the festering and varnished facades of your haughtiest moral dogmas, I write thereon in letters of blazing scorn: "Lo and behold all this is fraud!" I deny all things! I question all things! And yet! And yet! Gather round me, O ye death-defiant, and the Earth itself shall be thine, to have and to hold.

In no human brain can sufficient space be found for the relentless logic of hard fact, until all pre-existing delusions have been finally annihilated. Half measures are of no avail; we must go down to the very roots and tear them out even to the last fibre. We must be like nature, hard cruel, relentless.

To long the dead hand has been permitted to sterilize living thought. Too long right and wrong, good and evil have been inverted by false prophets. In the days that are at hand, neither creed nor code Must be accepted upon authority - human, superhuman, or "divine". Morality and conventionalism are for subordinates. Religions and constitutions and all arbitrary principles, every mortal theorem, must be deliberately put to the question. No moral dogma must be taken for granted, no standard of measurement deified.There is nothing inherently sacred about moral codes.Like the wooden idols of long ago, they are all the work of human hands; and what man has made, man can destroy. He who is slow to believe anything and everything is of great understanding, for belief in one false principle is the beginning of all unwisdom.The chief duty of every new age is to upraise new men to determine its liberties, to lead it towards material success - to rend the rusty padlocks and chains of dead customs that always prevent healthy expansion. Theories and ideals and constitutions that have meant life, hope and freedom for our ancestors may mean destruction, slavery, and dishonor to us. As environments change, no human ideal standeth sure.

Whenever, therefore , a lie has built unto itself a throne, let it be assailed without pity and without regret; for under the dominance of a inconvenient falsehood, no nation can permanently prosper. Let Established sophisms be dethroned, rooted out, burnt, and destroyed- for they are a standing menace to all true nobility of thought and action.Whatever alleged "truth" is proven by results to be but an empty fiction, let it be unceremoniously flung into the outer darkness, among the dead gods, dead empires,dead philosophies and other useless lumber and wreckage.

The most dangerous of all enthroned lies, is the holy, the sanctified the privileged lie - the lie that everyone believes to be a model truth. It is the fruitful mother of all other popular errors and delusions. It is hydra-headed. It has a thousand roots. It is a social cancer. The lie that is known to be a lie is half- -eradicated. But the lie that even intelligent persons regard as a sacred fact - the lie that has been inculcated around a mother's knee - is more dangerous to contend against than a creeping pestilence. Popular lies have ever been the most potent enemies of personal liberty. There is only one way to deal with them: Cut them out, to the very core, just as cancers are. Exterminate them root and branch, or they will surely eat us all up. Annihilate them, or they will us. Half and half remedies are of no avail.

But address cannot be linked to a wallet identifier and transactions cannot be link to a wallet identifier. So I'm not sure exactly what someone could subpoena for.
We have to trust you won't do that. We have to trust the feds won't force you to collect that information.

Also, I couldn't use TOR on your service. VPNs aren't as strong.
67  Bitcoin / Project Development / [BOUNTY] Zero-Trust Brainwallet Bitcoin Client on: April 01, 2012, 12:01:25 AM
TOTAL PLEDGED BOUNTY: 10 BTC

Request:

I am pledging 10 Bitcoins towards a Bitcoin client that allows me to enter a passphrase of my choosing (any length, any characters. I want total freedom), converts it into Base58/etc., then directly into the private key for a wallet. Of course, include a meter that shows the safety of the passphrase.

I do not want to be forced to download a seed or whatever. Please use a common algorithm that will be around forever.

I want it to be minimalistic. Just two fields to enter the passphrase and then your wallet opens up to which you can then send and receive money like any other client. No more than that.

No servers. No logged IP addresses. No email field. Just two unloggable fields where I can enter a passphrase. Feel free to make it a web app or desktop app as long as it logs no information.

I don't want to trust anybody with anything. I want to only trust my own memory. That is the main principle here. If somebody wants my Bitcoins, they'll have to beat it out of me or drug my system.

Finally, it must be open-source and licensed either under Public Domain, MIT or WTFPL.

If this interests you, post your pledges below.
68  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Blockchain.info Wallet: We log the internet IP address a wallet was created with on: March 31, 2012, 09:03:43 PM
Email and other personally identifiable information

Any email address, skype username or google talk username you enter will be stored on blockchain.info's servers. We will never share this information with any third parties. (They will have to when given a legal subpeona.)

IP Addresses

We log the internet IP address a wallet was created with and the ip the wallet was last updated with.


So, yeah, there is no anonymity with Blockchain.info. I tried using it with Tor to no avail.

I get paid $70 a day to ride a waxing machine around the store in addition to sweeping floors. Yawn. Combining this funding with my Bitcoinica speculation -- life is looking far too easy.

Anyways, yeah, that's the final nail in the coffin of "Atlas has no life experience" and "is a lazy, spoiled brat".

I still have yet to gain full understanding of the unemployed when there are mentally disabled people here running the photo lab.




All I have to say is...

Print this out and put it in a safe. Come back in 5 years, and see what you think of it. Rinse and repeat in 10 years.

That is all.

You expect me to have children. Too late, a vasectomy is on its way.  I will not compromise on financial sustainability a.k.a relying on long-term savings in hard assets and not on a fiat-based, corruptible retirement plan.

Life is easy if you're not a willfully ignorant, wasteful consumerist.

Also, no children.

72  Economy / Speculation / The best way to learn speculation/Bitcoinica... on: March 29, 2012, 11:22:23 PM
From what I've done, it seems the best way to learn speculation on Bitcoinica is just to plug-in 1 BTC and start playing. Consider any losses as just a cost of education.

Spreadsheets and blank-guesses are not worth much: They have no monetary-value behind them and the stress and emotion that comes with real trading is gone. You need to work with real money to be prepared for reality.

Just my 2 cents.

There is no evidence of a reality outside your perception. All else is moot.
Okay, so there's the obvious explanation for perception -- that the rest of reality explains it. And you're saying that there's some alternate explanation that's better justified, and that would be ...
It's not obvious. It's just having faith that what you are perceiving is consistent with whatever means that makes your perception exist.

I say there is no justifiable explanation. I say that believing things can truly be known in regards to our perceptions requires faith.

All I can ask is that you continue to act within your own nature.

I didn't go 10:1 just to gamble. Prepare for quite a huge spike.
