What is your main reason you do not invest in BTC with huge amounts of money?


Nothing. I already invested some. It's a gamble, but I think it's a greater than 50% chance I'll see long-term profits.

Find a river and construct an aqueduct. Run it through your house with a simple turbine. Problem solved.

I think first you would have to teach them left-click versus right-click on a mouse.

Mr. Gavin still think that the security issue, such as back up and encrypt wallet.dat still not his first priority, which expressed in his recent blog. I think this is really a problem.


If you think it's such a problem, then do it yourself and submit a pull request.

That's an altogether great story, and pretty fair in my opinion. Thanks for posting.
648  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: POLL: Do you use Silk Road? on: June 19, 2011, 05:57:59 AM
The trend seems to be staying at about 10%... and I have to assume that half the people that use it would lie about using it, so let's make that 20%.

Take it as you will...

But half are also the CIA trying to inflate it to make Bitcoin look bad, so make it back down to 10%.

These forums should be closed...

You can do your part by not posting anymore!  Grin

I'll join you. For every post that you don't make, I will make one less than I would have otherwise. But for every post you do make, I will make 2 extra posts instead!

Nah, I'm going down with the ship.  Grin

I wish I was a moderator so I could delete half of these threads (or move them to a hidden sub-forum).
There should be a "retard" sub-forum where these threads go to. At least then they wouldn't be deleted, and we could look in from time to time for entertainment.

Yeah, that's even better.

Here's a scale from good quality to poor quality, where Bitcoin Discussion is scaled to be the top. I'm omitting most of the forums for brevity.

Great video! Just watched the whole thing. I liked how you used the continued high volume as evidence that prices won't continue to drop. I won't be too surprised if it next rallies to $54, like you suggested. That sounds about right.

That's idiotic. It's common practice on forums to quote the entire article.
655  Economy / Economics / Re: How we could "back" bitcoins with something of value on: June 19, 2011, 02:00:33 AM
Gold has unique physical properties.  It "backs" itself.  


True. And similarly, Bitcoin has unique properties. It shares some of these properties with gold (divisibility, homogeneity, scarcity, etc) and has unique ones additionally (instant transfer across thousands of miles, a billion dollars-worth can be put in your shoe, it's not subject to supply fluctuations, etc.).

Both gold and btc are valuable as money precisely because of their unique properties. Neither needs to be, or ought to be, or even can be, backed by another commodity.

I wish this was true.  But the bitcoin system can be duplicated.  In a week you could have namecoins, and a week later funcoins.  Gold can't be reproduced like that.  

It's only "replicated" if a massive amount of people choose to use the other versions, which aren't connected to all the trading websites, don't have thousands of machines mining, and a worse development team. It's very inconclusive whether people would want to use two different P2P currencies.
656  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MT.Gox account hacked - Suspected security bug !!!! on: June 19, 2011, 01:49:36 AM
Seems like noone believes me..Anyway I am not getting anything out of this, just telling you so you could avoid getting hacked.

It's not a matter of not believing you, you just haven't given any reason for us to believe it was Mt Gox that was compromised.  You need to re-evaluate the situation and consider that the breach may have occurred on your computer or due to your security practices.  Your computer could still be compromised and you need to address this.  Going by what you've written this is much more likely than Mt Gox having been compromised.

I wasn't aware that there were other recent reports of this happening at Mt Gox by the way.  I still think that you should do a full audit of your system though.
Man I knew my pc wasn't hacked turn out to be that MT.Gox froze my account because it contained suspicious coins, where was from a hacked wallet.dat

Ok... so can you change the title instead of being such a sensationalist attention whore?
657  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just an Observation on: June 19, 2011, 01:46:46 AM

The game is over, and the security holes (unencrypted wallets, Mt. Gox's absurdities) sealed the deal. There was a small window to get public perception on Bitcoin's side, and that has closed.



Yes let's compare Bitcoin's security holes to those of the internet itself in the 90's, and still today.

I have an awesome solution for your "game ending security hole" of unencrypted wallets... the solution is to encrypt wallets!

The OP is the same kind of person who would've dismissed the crazy motor car because gasoline explodes. Do you know that in my great grandmother's college science textbook, it told her that man would never venture into space because there was no air?

Give free markets a chance to solve problems and they tend to do so.

You don't understand, every single feature (such as wallet encryption) must be created immediately, along with all the other aspects of the client, before it even reaches version 0.4. When software isn't 100% complete by the time some people start using it, it is dooooooooomed!
658  Economy / Economics / What happened to the weekend slump? on: June 19, 2011, 01:40:38 AM
I thought Bitcoins were supposed to go down on the weekend? It just hit 18 at this moment.

Resident Bitcoin economists, philosophers, and speculators, please explain! Doesn't this run contrary to Bitcoin theory? Also, didn't Edward50 predict Bitcoins would drop to 8 - 10?

660  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reports of MtGox being hacked ARE REAL on: June 19, 2011, 01:25:12 AM
That would make sense, my account was hacked and the only places I used my password was mtgox, tradehill, and deepbit.

You entrust a BRAND NEW SITE (tradehill) with your regular password you use for "everything" related to bitcoins??

What's wrong with you?

My favorite part is that they blame the websites.
