If you kill trees and print up fancy toilet paper with heads of dead presidents then
- snip -
Trees? I didn't think any currency was printed on paper made from trees. I'm pretty sure that U.S. currency is 75% cotton and 25% linen I'm pretty sure there hasn't been currency made from wood pulp paper in any country since at least the 19th century. Even wartime emergency money (Notgeld) wasn't printed on wood pulp paper. |

Oh. The "new" scam that's been going around for months and appeals only to Nigerian 419 target levels of stupid. Yeah, that surely needs another another thread in addition to the other 800 we have about it every day.

Hmmm, a shame. Guess I'll better get to rebuilding my list.
Mind posting it after you're done, or PMing? I'd be interested to see, mine could use some rebuilding as well. Sure. I've actually decided to go ahead and shrink it down to the usual scambusters at inheritence level 0, which I actually expect should suffice for good results with the people selected. We'll see how it goes. - smoothie

 Space Raider on a CompuChron LCD game watch knockoff. This was somewhere around 1980/81. I also later had the 1983 CompuChron calculator watch. School wasn't too happy about that.  |

Here's the rub.
If I trust a trustee a problem can arise where the trustee in turn trusts another trustee whose trust list is .... bad.
Case in point, all my trustees for some reason decided to trust theymos, whose trust list is... not exactly a glowing demonstration of great character judgement.
Now this means that for me theymos' feedback appears as trusted and it is added into the trust calculation which of course due to reasons mentioned above is not what I should want as a datapoint.
The question now is how to remove the flawed input from the trust list? Is there a function to specifically exclude problematic lower level trustees or is the only way by removing sub level trust entirely and manually re-adding sub-level trustees to the first tier?

This is a good question. Primecoin finds prime numbers....
What does bitcoin do though? You cannot tell me that all that power is just going up in smoke....
But it is. All that power is used to throw random numbers at a hash function twice until one is mangled enough to have the required number of leading zeroes. There's your complex math puzzle: throwing shit at a wall until something sticks. Thats crazyness. You would think that Satoshi would have worked in some way for all this electricity and power to be useful for something else also. Kind of sad actually. Fold some proteins at least I guess he'd have done so if Bitcoin was ever intended to be anything other than a tech demo. |

Major Flaw with Bitcoin Economy: unsecured "banks" keep getting "hacked" into.
In what way ? Have you lost something from a bitcoin bank ? Me, personally? God, no. Paging Phinneaus Gage to thread 304544 |

Aren't you the dude who got scammed by wisely sending out secret number to that one dude and had that broken fingers thing if you didn't get the money back and all that.
Because that 5000k per week thing? Should probably stop that before you end up as the fall guy for your russian mafia connection and forcefully are taught new ways to be loved in the slammer.
