I think need easier to win games, since playing 100 hands and not winning a single one, is not fun...
Need dice games, but better odds, like 98% or better.

Its gonna be like World War Z, in my imagination. I will be zombie #32
This crossed my mind to until I heard about how the virus actually affects people. Like bleeding through body orifices but can only be contracted through saliva or blood exposure. It CAN be transmitted airborne at a short distance, also Ebola is a fast evolving virus. Virus CAN evolve the ability of being airborne. |

How's this any different then what the Austrians did in Serbia a hundred years ago, where they killed 57% of the male population?
Seeing as how the whole Ukraine thing is being tolerated in Europe right now it goes to show that we haven't changed in mindset from earlier times. If ISIS was doing this in Britain no one would care, not even the Scottish or Welsh ("as long as they don't come here").
You answered your own question, the difference is "a hundred years ago" |

Well, looks like the initial short term drop is over? price is creeping up, maybe the retailers are not converting much to fiat now since the initial rush to spend is gone.

瞎扯淡的标题党。个人用户自己的coinbase用户名密码被钓鱼了，能说成是"coinbase又被黑了"？何况哪儿来的"又"？coinbase系统本身从未被黑过。你这种标题党，在管理严格的论坛，早被删贴封id了。

Not sure what you are talking about Verizon or AT&T's remote access, do you have an article about that? I use an android phone I bought from China (xiaomi phone, no Google Play), on AT&T's network, it works just fine. I'm not sure how AT&T can "remote access" my phone.
The network operators reserve the right to push new firmware to your phone/device. You did read the fine-print of your contract, right? This lets them brick phones with a specific IMEI if it appears to be mis-behaving. Your Device must be compatible with, and not interfere with, our Services and must comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. We may periodically program your Device remotely with system settings for roaming service, to direct your Device to use network services most appropriate for your typical usage, and other features that cannot be changed manually.
You agree that you won’t make any modifications to your Equipment or its programming to enable the Equipment to operate on any other system. AT&T may, at its sole and absolute discretion, modify the programming to enable the operation of the Equipment on other systems. - AT&T Wireless Customer AgreementOnly if you choose to buy an android phone from AT&T with their firmware pre-installed. AT&T can do no such thing to my Xiaomi Phone, the only thing they could do is deny service to my phone. There's no way for AT&T to "brick" my phone nor "push new firmware" to my phone, since my firmware isn't from AT&T. Unlike the iPhone iOS, there's no "magic backdoor" in the Android OS for AT&T to just remote access any android phone without pre-installing AT&T firmware. |

Oh look, Apple has "allowed" their loyal slaves to use blockchain app again, the slaves must be overjoyed. For how long I wonder.

I guess Dell is still mass converting to fiat from their 10% off Bitcoin sale.

Who cares, if you use Apple products, then you hate freedom period, therefore you do not need to know why Apple banned this or that, because you already submitted to their role as your master. Apple will decide what you are allowed to see, hear and use.
I have no interest in knowing why Apple banned this or that, since I have zero Apple products and will keep it that way
Well, looks like not only Apple will decide what you see, hear and use. Apple will also monitor what you see, hear and use: http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2014/07/22/every-iphone-has-a-security-backdoor/Did you read the article that you posted, or just scan the headline? : The wider problem is Apple is far from alone in acting in such an autocratic manner. On Android, for example, ‘Google Play Services’ also runs silently in the background and officially has an innocent agenda “to update Google GOOGL -0.84% apps and apps from Google Play”.
In reality Play Services has limitless access to virtually every aspect of an Android phone and can even grant itself new permissions as and when needed (grabs above had to be spread over five screens). The user is never prompted and while Play Services can be easily disabled the vast majority of Android services and apps will not run without it making it unfeasible to ditch long term.
What's your point? 1. Google Play Service has not been proven to have a backdoor. 2. The article is actually dead wrong about Google Play being required. You are free to choose to NOT use Google Play if you wanted, there's a ton of 3rd party app markets you can install on your android. For example, in China google play is not installed on 99% of the android devices, everyone use the local Chinese app markets. 3. Android itself is free and opensource, you can even flash your android device to a 3rd party distro like cyanogen mod. What is my point? From the information in the article you posted, one cannot infer that iOS is backdoored any more than is android. OK so one does not _require_ Play. Are you indicating that verizon, AT&T, or whomever does not have the ability to remotely activate elements within your phone? Which part of this sentence you didn't understand? "Apple has issued a formal statement acknowledging the existence of services running on iOS which can bypass encryption to access user data (the classic ‘backdoor‘), but claims they do not compromise user privacy or security."Apple has admitted they intentionally developed a backdoor in their system. Google play has not been proven to have a backdoor, nor has Google admitted to having it. Not sure what you are talking about Verizon or AT&T's remote access, do you have an article about that? I use an android phone I bought from China (xiaomi phone, no Google Play), on AT&T's network, it works just fine. I'm not sure how AT&T can "remote access" my phone. |

Draws have fallen a bit behind - I'm going to speed up processing the backlog so we should be up to date shortly.
Ok - everything should be up to date now. Forking problem should be fixed, block explorer is up to date, draws taking place on time, and Bter on the right chain. I'm going to rest for a while  Why is block explorer on block 1133? http://lottoshares.42tx.com/I thought we were on 5xxx already before the fork. |

Dell and Newegg offers 10% off with bitcoin purchases. That pretty much beats any fees incurred from purchasing bitcoins and create incentive for a closed-loop bitcoin economy.
Those are limited time promotional offers. Only for Alienware with Dell, and lets just check Newegg for a moment. *Offer expires July 31, 2014 at 11:59PM PT. Offer valid while funds and/or supplies last.
Does not include Newegg Promotional Gift Cards, Marketplace or Open Box items.
Cannot be combined with other promo codes, or promotions that include a free gift.
Total discount limited to $100. Enter promo code: BITCOIN at checkout.
Discount not applicable to taxes or shipping.
Discount is applied before taxes and shipping are calculated.
Offer is only valid for purchases made using bitcoin. By using the promo code,
you consent to receive additional deals and promotions through our e-mail newsletter.
Limit one discount per customer.
All prices reflect the final price after savings/rebate(s). Offers expire 07/31/2014 at 11:59 P.M. PT. Especially the "Cannot be combined with other promo codes part". Is that Bitcoin promo really better than would you could get for Alienware or Newegg anyway? I found that during the Bitcoin promotion at newegg, everything I wanted to buy was 5%-10% cheaper at amazon... |

Yep, this is my other theory, is that Bitcoin will NEVER be popular for regular domestic purchases, even online. The regular consumer simply will choose credit cards, every single time (unless for some reason anonymity is highly valued).
Not necessarily. But there just isnt any decent infrastructure in place. That might change with 1000 bitcoin ATMs. Assuming the fees are low enough, the current 3-7% fees existing ATMs take is just plain robbery. Add some bonus similiar to cash back and bitcoin may actually be a valid option for "normal" people. But thats still a long way to go. Bitcoin can't compete on ATM vs existing banks domestically, I've never paid a ATM fee in my life for domestic ATM usage. Since my bank's branch+ATM is nearly everywhere. Even when I do use a 3rd party ATM ocassionally, my bank will cover the fee for me. Again, the key is international. I did pay a rather high ATM fee when I traveled to Mexico and Europe and used my debit card at ATMs to withdraw the local currency. I would have preferred to just sell my Bitcoin and get the local currency. |

Many early adopters intend to use bitcoin as a currency, and to hold it as a long term investment. Doing both at the same time means replenishing what you use as you go along. When I buy something online, I use bitcoin if I have the chance, but I prefer to deplete my USD savings rather than my bitcoin savings, so I do a quick USD -> btc -> purchase. If it's a miniscule amount then I might not bother with the USD -> bitcoin step, but if a bunch of miniscule purchases added up, then I would still eventually replete my bitcoin holdings.
Ok, here´s the thing i dont get. Why would anyone want to do that? So you loose money on the exchange (fees), pay the transaction fee and dont get any fancy things like cash back you would get using a credit card. So, basicly you are paying a premium for being able to use bitcoin? Yep, this is my other theory, is that Bitcoin will NEVER be popular for regular domestic purchases, even online. The regular consumer simply will choose credit cards, every single time (unless for some reason anonymity is highly valued). Bitcoin will shine in international trade/purchase, and also legal grey areas, such as gambling, adult business and drugs. Bitcoin has become THE currency of the Dark Net Markets, Bitcoin also enabled Dark Net economy to thrive and grow exponentially. Eventually, the physical shadow economy of the world will pick up Bitcoin too. It's simply better. |

Don't people who use their BTC to buy from Bitcoin-accepting merchants usually replenish their lost BTC after a while? That would create a net neutral effect on Bitcoin prices.
I doubt that most early adopters, who still have hundreds thousands of BTC bought for a few dollars, would want to buy back the same amount at a price higher by a few orders of magnitude after spending them with a new merchant. FTFY. Early adopters can easily replenish and even increase their BTC holdings by trading. trading is a good way to lose your BTC holdings, even if you manage to not lose in trades, you still lose money to the exchange by paying a percentage trading fee. Well, if you actually know what you're doing, you don't lose. People around here always keep saying that daytrading is stupid and you'll always lose. Other add that only big whales win, and everyone else gets ripped off. I believe there are people who know what they're doing and are successful by doing it! Trading is a game where 95% of the people loses and 5% of the people win big. Same thing on wallstreet and in Bitcoinland. The real challenge is knowing whether you are the 95% or the 5% before you invest your time and money into trading. There's an additional catch in Bitcoin land, even when you win in terms of fiat, you could still lose if you hold the fiat, due to Bitcoin appreciation. Buy and Hold has been the proven successful strategy in Bitcoinland. |
