It's not that easy to change your IP with Tor when they block all public Tor nodes.

And it's even a bigger pain to download 8MB using Tor. The internet itself, in those countries is slow, and Tor is even slower.

There are some persons that believe everything they read on the internet, you know?  For those type of persons it's not a lie... lol


People here(me included) already pointed to you,and Nasakioto, that the 21 million cap on Ixcoins only exists on your head because you guys messed it up when you raised the block reward.

Too bad you only troll around and never address the serious issues.

Well, I just hope you don't get half the bashing I got on the thread i started about that same subject

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=37687.0

But at least these kind of threads will show us that some persons here can think for themselves, while others are just brainwashed sock puppets who can't see past their own belly.

Respect for you, for trying to do what is right.

Cheers!

Well, we can convince him to use Bitcoin in the way Satoshi described, to receive paid fan mail.
I'm sure Charlie would find something on Silk Road to spend the Bitcoin 

I have several dedicated servers on Worldstream with 1 year+ uptime. Can't really say how fast their technical support is because luckily i never needed to use it. But their sales support is allright, at least during the week and on dutch work hours

Your mileage may vary, ofcourse

People already explained to you guys that when you raised the block rewards you also raised the total number of coins that will be created/generated/minted/whatever.

Too bad none of you "developers" listened and continue to spew lies

Oh, it even gets better... Satoshi's email was @gmx.com, just like Fred's email.

Just a little correction: It's Amir Taaki's email that is @riseup.net, Gavin's email is gmail

That only shows that you talk about things you know nothing about!

Try opening http://i0coin.org ... Low and behold... WTF is that? Is it a forum? 

Oh, do you think that oldminer even knows what HTML is?


No, oldminer, HTML is not the brand of the soap you pick up from the floor when you're on the shower with your husband...  

Well, as far as i know sourceforge redirects download links to the geographically closest mirrors from where the download is requested, but people in those block lists don't even get redirected, they just get the part of their terms that say they are on the "forbidden" list, go figure...

So, i guess what you are saying is not the complete truth. Doesn't matter how many mirrors they have, the result will be the same. Unless you weren't talking about sourceforge in that paragraph and i understood you wrong. If so, I apologize, and ask for clarification about that statement.

Not going to comment on your other paragraphs because I already said too much on this thread and honnestly I don't feel like entering a path that will lead nowhere.

As I said on the OP: I'm not eloquent enough to be the one to put this on the table, but as I didn't see anyone else doing it, I did what i thought and believed was the right thing to do.

Now it's better to leave the persons who are smarter than me to discuss it and reach their own conclusions.

And in this case, Chalk is a lot more yummy than Cheese.

Hey, you might think the shop is mine, but it isn't. I just worked on it.

I don't set the prices, the record label does, and my first post was just to say that the prices aren't more expensive because they can be paid with bitcoin. Other users paying with ATM, bank transfer or paypal get the exact same prices. (note to self: tell the record label owner to give a 10% or 15% discount to people who pay with bitcoin)
As the complaint of the OP was about people pricing stuff in Bitcoin and pricing it more expensive for it, it was just a way to show that it's not always the case.
The reality is that we can't compare the prices on the music shop with itunes prices because we can't buy those tracks on itunes. If we could, then the comparison would be correct.

On a completely off-topic side note: People have no idea of the costs involved to maintain a legal digital downloads shop in Portugal, e.g.: just for having 30 seconds samples for the tracks the label needs to pay €100/month to the Portuguese RIAA equivalent, go figure, wether they sell or not. Add server costs, developers, etc, and it's a huge cost for an indie record label that has a tiny catalog and therefore doesn't sell much  And yet, the owner paid those $150 for the module to be built and opensourced, even if he wasn't expecting that much business from bitcoin users, just because he thinks Bitcoin is a wonderful thing than can change the world we all live in. And guess who introduced him to Bitcoin: me.

You all might think I'm an a-hole, but i really care for Bitcoin. And the only way to see it succeed is if small shops start accepting it, because you won't see the big ones doing it in the next years. I hope I'm wrong in this prediction, but I suspect I'm not.

Sorry about the long post and about anything else I might have said that offended any of you guys/girls.

Cheers!

 

PS: sorry about the images

So, go give your money to apple, I'm sure they need it more than any of the persons that have shops that accept bitcoin... and while you are at it, ask them to accept your bitcoins.

Unlike apple, that store has to pay 23% of VAT(€0,47 from those €2.50). I said it before and i say it again: Beatport charges €2,57 for each track ,VAT included. From those €2,57 they give the artist around €0.25...

And using an analogy that will fit very well in here: you are comparing apples to oranges. Comparing a shop that has a catalog of millions of tracks against one that has 40 or 50 tracks.

One more thing: The shop where i sent you PAID a bounty of $150 to develop the module that accepts bitcoin payments and gave it to the community. What did apple ever gave to this community?

Exactly, and this one was the most productive post i've ever read from you.

Targeted traffic to websites/offers that he will promote, be it his own or websites from people that will pay him for it.

Internet marketing 101

He already knows 2 things from his followers than he can bank from: They like Bitcoin and they like free stuff.
Sorry to the OP if it was supposed to be a secret. I'll delete the reply if you want to

No, it took me 5 seconds, the time for the page to open. It was the first time i went to that forum. lol

Gotta love pointless shit... 

If the new install replaced your wallet.dat(which it shouldn't if the install was on the same computer) then your *****A address is gone. You can't put it back just because you know it. You need the private key for that hash of the public key.
That's why they recommend to backup your wallet.dat before reinstalling the client.

If you still have your original wallet.dat somewhere in your computer you can retrieve it, if not, I'm sorry to say, but your money is lost

Honnestly, I'm already sorry that i answered him. I should know better than to answer to brainwashed sock puppets.

Maybe it's because of what my parents suffered before i was born and the way i was raised because of it that i feel it's a great injustice what is being done to the persons in those countries.
