edit: I'll have a read of the dutch wiki later, i didn't think it would be any different..... I always thought a nl.wiki was just a translation, learn something new everyday!
Well, it's a Dutch holiday, so the Dutch Wikipedia is the most accurate. Makes sense right? Grin

It's quite a long drawn out debate to my understanding, i have older dutch friends 60+ years and they don't care, they talk about the soot on his face and how he gives candy and the kids love him. My more younger circle of dutch friends 20-40 years don't like the big red lips, the gold earrings and the full blackface. I don't really know what to think as i have no interaction with dutch children( hate kids). I just looking for some different perspectives. I don't like the history or how i perceive what i have read as history.
Well, there is no "real" history, that's the point I tried to make. There are a lot of different stories, some are more racist than others. I honestly don't care about the history and I dislike everyone that has something against "Zwarte Piet". They are just looking for a reason to complain, because they have nothing else to do. It hurts nobody, children don't think of "black" people as "Zwarte Piet" and it's a loving and caring holiday.

I even talked to a few of my "black" friends and they don't give a shit.

I am not talking about the current situation when i say that, sorry for the confusion. I am talking about the history and how the character came about.
Oh I see, well I was never thought the "real" story, because their are a lot of them, according to the Dutch wikipedia page (which is the only correct one, if you ask me).

Children nowadays don't learn that "Zwarte Piet" was a slave, black because of going down the chimney or something else. We never told them anything. They just thought of their own stories and saw them as the helpers of "Sinterklaas".
Currently there is a huge discussion about it being racist or not. 90% doesn't give a shit. However, this does teach children about racism way ahead of their time. They didn't know about racism, they didn't care and they have ever thought about that, till now.

A teacher once did an experiment with a few children. She said that "Sinterklaas" would be coming to their classroom and started to change her outfit into "Sinterklaas" during that story. Once she was done she said that she was "Sinterklaas" and the children asked her where their teacher went. Children just don't see the similarities between "black" people and "Zwarte piet", only we adults do.

"Zwarte Piet" in The Netherlands is something children love. Maybe even more than "Sinterklaas" itself (because the Zwarte Piet gives them candy and "Pepernoten"). We don't gave a shit about the history and what the story says, in our country it's just a huge party.

Quote
The whole story conditions children to associate's zwarte piet with evil and being bad.
This is 100% bullshit.

What happened? Did he get banned again or has he just disappeared? I don't think a character like bibolarbob was created to stick around forever anyway.Maybe he's still amongst us under a different name?
He hasn't been on IRC for ages. I normally talked at least once a week with him, but he hasn't logged into his account for 2/3 weeks now.

Out of interest how many ads have you sold previously and for what prices, if you don't mind me asking?
Well, round 5 is currently in progress, so you guess how many ads have been sold. Tongue
The price is somewhere between 0.035BTC and 0.04BTC.

Ich kenne diese person (habe mal mit ihm auf einen Bitcoin treffen in Amsterdam geredet) und wenn ich mich nicht irre hat er einen NFC chip implantieren lassen mit encrypted BIP38 Wörter. Bin mir aber nicht 100% sicher, was ich aber sicher weiss ist das ehr das machen will:

"except that the QR code is a piece of paper and the NFC chip is stored under my skin. Because of the sensitive nature of the private key I think it is dangerous to store clear text and therefore needs to be encrypted. For incoming payments the bitcoin uri works it's magic and is just fine, it is just that Mycelium should not only detect keys that start with a 1 but also the encrypted keys (starting with a 6?) and that would solve the UI problem with having to convert back to qr code."

I think its a good idea as long as the escrow is reputable in the community.
It also helps clarify between new escrowed campaigns and new unescrowed campaigns.
If the escrow was relatively unknown though would be a bit more worried if some new fund escrowed with them as it could be an alt.
Well, the green part would only be done if someone is reputable. I would, for example, never color myself green. It's easy for me to say I'm trusted and even if people said they trust me, I wouldn't give myself a green color. Just for the sake of being fair.


EDIT: The next auction is up as well: Advertise in the Signature Overview Thread [Round 5]
6272  Other / Archival / Re: Updated Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns on: November 12, 2014, 11:22:12 PM
I would say it would be useful to include it anytime funds are escrowed with someone who is trusted within the community (I would say in the description, not the chart). You would also potentially add a y/n column to say if funds are escrowed or not.

I might also mention the maximum potential payout per period verses the total amount escrowed (in the description) so users can get a good idea as to how well they are protected.  
Adding more information about escrow to the description: Good idea, will do.
Add a "Escrow"-part to the table: Good idea, will add that
Maximum potential payout per period verses the total amount escrowed: Sounds like a bit of extra work. Might do that as well.

Congrats! You won this auction. I have send you a PM with further instruction.

Next auction is up as well: Advertise in the Signature Overview Thread [Round 5]

I am going to auction non-intrusive ad space in my "Signature Overview"-thread.


Ad Format

  • Leaderboard style (728x90px)
  • Static images (jpg, gif, png)
  • Non annoying colors
  • Ads may not misrepresent, lie, be inappropriate, be (or link to) NSFW content. I reserve the right to reject ads for other reasons or remove ads even after they have been accepted.


Extra information

  • There is 1 for sale. This ad slot is located at the top and everyone will see it.
  • The ad will be up for at least 10 days from when they are put up.


Auction Format

  • Auction will run for approximately 10 days, to end at midnight Amsterdam time (1PM PDT / 7PM EDT) on Sunday 23th November
  • Bids must be posted in this topic. PM's are not accepted at this point. Prices must be stated in BTC.
  • If two people bid the same price, the person who bid first will get the ad space.
  • Every bid that is posted an hour before the auction is over will extend it by five minutes.
  • Bidding starts at 0.01BTC. All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.005BTC.

I reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. In particular, bids from people with less than 15 activity points are likely to be rejected. I recommend not getting into a bidding war with someone who has less than 15 activity points, as their bids might not be accepted, but your latest bids will still stand. If you need to know right away whether someone's bids will be accepted, PM me.

You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address otherwise your slot may be sold to someone else. I will send you the payment information through a PM originating from this account ("bitcoininformation", user ID 113670). You might receive false payment information from scammers pretending to be me. They might even have somewhat similar usernames. Be careful.

I have updated the OP, thanks everyone for keeping me posted!


Small update to the OP: I have decided to add "Escrowed by devthedev" to the cloudminr.io campaign because they escrowed funds with someone who is well known and respected by the community.
What do you guys think?

Should I keep this message? Should I remove it? Should I do this from now on?

6277  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Dutyfree.io - Buy cheap cigarettes with Bitcoin on: November 12, 2014, 06:18:56 PM
I meant silk road not dutyfree...sorry for the confusion.  Only mentioned something about a permanent %5 discount on their SR profile.

Unless I totally misunderstood.
Ooooh, I see. No idea what happens to the coupons, they should still be valid, just harder to find I guess.

Anyway, I just ordered another carton from Only. Can't wait to receive it.
6278  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Dutyfree.io - Buy cheap cigarettes with Bitcoin on: November 12, 2014, 05:55:40 PM
Can we still find out what that coupon is?  That web site got shut down right?
Dafuck are you talking about? The website is up and running.
6279  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: Free Bitcoin Miner Game - Earn Tons of Free Bitcoin Playing This Game on: November 11, 2014, 09:40:57 PM
Not sure if this game is a scam, but I can't cash in my ores (keep getting a "Communication blocked"-error), so it's pretty much worthless.

EDIT: This problem was resolved when I disabled AdBlocker. I like the game, but the website needs a serious re-do. It's unclear what the game is, what you have to do, what you can do, what the controls are, etc.
