It's against the rules to make trades that are not legal in both the seller's and buyer's countries. I'm not interested in figuring out legality of trades or investigating locations of members, though, so I only delete really obvious stuff.

Is this forum hosted/managed by people in the US?  I assumed it was, if not maybe this isn't as much of a problem.

It's in Japan.

Fair enough.  So long as you and the other mods don't think this is a liability.  I'd hate to see this forum disappear!

So, rather than click the little report button, you go internet detective and compile a list of everyone whom has interacted with flaxceed and suggest they are committing criminal acts? I resent your unfounded and uneducated accusations against me, the other members listed and the forum itself. You should remove them.

how much did astana pay you to post this?

Judging by the horrible spelling/grammar, Blue.mitzi is Asstana


If you start guessing based on poor spelling ability, then 80% of the users here could be Astana.
90%, if you are really picky.


First off, resurrection of necrotic threads is one of the most gauche things a newbie can do... nice way to piss in your own bathwater.

Secondly, the delicious irony of your major grammatical gaffe beginning your second sentence in numerical form almost begs abuse, especially in a thread as incendiary as this one. One can only wonder why anyone would pick this type of train wreck to start screaming about how they want a turn to drive the wrecked train?

And third- there was far more forensic analysis that proved that blue.shitzi, now banned along with all of ass-hole-tana's other sock puppets, was the spokes-bitch claimed. Are you wanting the same critical consideration?

M3ta, don't worry about Loup.  Just enjoy the delicious irony of his messiah complex acting as a compliment to his underlying inferiority complex.

Or, you can simply criticize his failure to place commas after "gaffe" and "form."  Undoubtedly, the confusion you may experience from the resulting lack of clarity will ultimately shift your focus away from his attempts to humiliate you.  

I feel bad.  He has to live with himself all day.

Actually TJ, Strunk and White would disagree with you in regards to both both commas. No Messiah Complex here, (citing a medical condition would obligate a capitalization, neh?) nor Inferiority.

And here I went and tried to be nice to you for the New Year, and you want to go and disrespect me like this?

Today was actually a pretty damn good day with me, like most of them. But, seriously though, thanks for mentioning it.

Stunk and White are wrong; so are you.  "With regards" is also preferable to "in regards." 

"Messiah complex" and "inferiority complex" are not diagnosable medical conditions.  Check your DSM-IV again.  Read the whole thing line by line until you find them.



You are such a trolling amateur. Keep trying, it'll come.
623  Other / Meta / Re: My ad results on: January 10, 2012, 01:22:25 AM
And how does that price compare with what you would expect to pay per click at other sites?
I paid 2 btc for 200 clicks on dailybitcoins.org, so this is really high, and I would never do this again. The price is not worth the return.

Dailybitcoins.org hardly counts as advertising, and their clicks are just people trying to get paid, not people interested in the service. I take out joke ads there all the time and get disgusting amounts of clicks...

You should probably start paying Matthew to write clever ads for you, even though he has fat fingers.
624  Other / Meta / Re: Is selling drugs that are illegal in the US to US customers against forum rules? on: January 10, 2012, 01:14:06 AM
You are right- Winstrol is controlled substance, not a scheduled substance.  Edited OP to reflect this.

I don't have any problem with flaxceed, or people who want to order drugs illegally to their jurisdictions.  That's between them and their respective governments.

Fundamentally, as far as I can tell, flaxceed has never made a legal sale to his (at least two) US customers. Without licenses it is not legal to sell the majority of his products in the US. I am no legal expert, but I do not see any products he is offering that are clearly legal for him to sell to US customers. Do you? Some of them are controlled substances, which if he has ever distributed these to US customers over this forum, the DEA could seize BitCoinTalk.

I think it is putting the forum in legal jeopardy.  It hurts the reputation and credibility of information in this forum if buying dick pills (or gel) is only two clicks away from announcements of legitimate bitcoin businesses.

This is the central hub of bitcoin communication, and it would be a shame to see it get shut down over something so frivolous. 

Randy, do/did you live outside of the US when you received products from flaxceed?  If not, what is your interpretation of how what you did was legal under US law?

Who says I received products from flaxceed?

Sildafinil citrate (Viagra), which is on your list there as controlled, is not scheduled or controlled in the US. It is legal to possess without a valid medical prescription.

Clenbuterol is not controlled or scheduled by the US either, and with no approved medical use, you are free to import as much of it as you want and do what you will with it.

To top it off, the actual order and transactions are carried out outside of the forum, indemnifying them from any involvement in the matter. They are not facilitating any illegal drug transactions, if any even exist to begin with...there are quite a few users outside of the United States who can legally attain even the 'controlled' substances he is vending.

Irrespective of how the discussion may violate your personal mores.

Loup! Sentence fragment from one of the most eloquent authors on this forum? Come on, now!

Where is that evidence of 'illegal drug transactions beyond a reasonable doubt'? You seem to have quite a bone to pick with flaxceed, but you lack a leg to stand on. What does a list of people who have interacted with him show, other than the fact that they interacted with flaxceed? Even if they did make a purchase, you have no knowledge of the actual item purchased, and thus have no clue whether or not a crime was committed.

You also seem to have a fundamental lack of comprehension as to controlled and scheduled substances in the US.

Raise the minimum wage so that more people have more money which they can spend, stimulating the economy.

Minimum wage law is ok as long as it is FAIR to every employee.

stop smoking - smokefree for more than a week already  Smiley

good for you, m8!  You taking any medication or doing some activity to help with the addiction and habit breaking?

I got a nicotine inhaler and was able to kick a pack-a-day habit pretty easily. Gum and lozenges killed my stomach, and I imagine patches would leave my hands unoccupied and wanting a cigarette. Having something cigarette-like to puff on every time I had a craving was great. It's a passive inhaler with 2mg delivered cartridges that load into a thing that's sort of like the plastic tips on swishers.

I would recommend it to anyone trying to quit. The only caveat is their price: I think 160 cartridges was like, $300+ dollars if you paid cash, plus a doctor's visit to prescribe it. Mine was free courtesy of Los Angeles County. Check your state, city and county (or whatever the equivalent is where you are) as a lot of them have free or really cheap smoking cessation stuff. A lot of states have a 'quitline' program (google it) which provides free patches and 'counseling'.

Raise the minimum wage so that more people have more money which they can spend, stimulating the economy.

All that would do is devalue an already worthless dollar. It would create nothing. If anything, it would raise food costs and force employers to raise prices.

It's called inflation. It doesn't work and it sustained The Great Depression. Bernanke and friends keep telling you it works and you believe it does in the face of destruction.

Hurr Durr Keynesianism

I think you are confused. Case in point: Australia.

Australia has thriving trade agreements with one of the world's only sovereign nations: China. The Chinese currency is actually owned by the people that hold it. It's not backed by debt and the Australians benefit from it.

I think you are confusing Keynesian policy with actual productive activity.

Now UN and NATO influence is putting American troops on Australian soil. You know why?

The banks don't like the economic freedom around there one freaking bit. It's not going to last for long. I am going to put my money on it.

The Eastern hemisphere's sovereignty is going to be challenged tooth-and-nail in the coming decades and most of it is going to be done through war and war never changes. It debases currency and destroys sovereignty. It will all be centralized into larger nations, fewer currencies and more control.


So $17/hr minimum wage is paid by China? Can you elaborate?

There is not much economic freedom in Australia. Its banking and industry are heavily regulated.

No, the Chinese don't get paid in debt. They get paid in actual currency. That's why there is no such thing as a jobless Chinese: there is actual wealth creation and not a hopeless circle of debt.

If you were to pay off all of Australia's debt, there would be no more Australian banknotes. Australian citizen's get paid in currency that is owned by Chinese and European shareholder's that can be taken away from the citizens at anytime.

You're right, there's not. Again, they are living off the Chinese: they own the country.  An Australian's productivity is only collateral much like a US citizen's.



You have not addressed Australia's $17/hr minimum wage, it's socialized medicine or how it is funded. You keep going on about China. China exploits its natural resources for profit, just like every other country on earth. So why is everyone there so poor? Why the China circle-jerk, rather than an explanation?

Do you think australia is a big wasteland with people working for China? What about all the industry?

Side note,

It's funded by subsidization and an endless cycle of unsustainable debt provided by China.

China has poor people but the poor don't stay poor forever. They have an economic ladder than actually be reached from the bottom. Australia does not.

You done fucked up the pyramid, Matthew.

I feel like feeding the trolls tonight because I am bored, so I shall post some proactive communication from BF Labs for you guys.

Quote
Hi rjk,

I'm writing with an update.  The units tested out at a performance level of 832 mh/s and not 1.05 gh/s.  This is largely due to their consuming more power than the simulation indicated and the on board power regulator had a hard time keeping up with the demand.  To resolve this, we've upgraded the power regulation from one 50w route to two 60w route (one for each processor). 

This has pushed our production back several weeks and the PCB's are only now finished.  They're off to component assembly in Taiwan next week, then back to us here in Kansas City for firmware set and burn in testing prior to delivery across the 2nd half of this month.  We can't guarantee more than 832 mh/s until we test, so you'll need to either cancel your order or accept the performance reduction.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Kind regards,
Sonny K
BF Labs Inc.

So I asked for some pics... why not Grin

Regarding the updated PCB, we'll have photos on arrival at the assembly facility.  However, I'm not sure if we'll get around to posting photos of them until after assembly.

Nom nom nom. I can't wait. Cool

In any case, the comments don't even register on the radar compared to other politicians' support of devastating wars and sanctions against other countries. Ultimately all that matters is his political positions.

He doesn't have an issue with "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". I would say that is quite offensive to homosexuals and indicative of a distaste for them.
