Well this thread got ugly fast. I can't believe you're arguing about what prostitutes like to be called. I can settle this for you. In Clark County, which is where Las Vegas is located, prostitution is illegal. Because it's illegal they like to be called "escorts" and most charge between $300 and $500 an hour for things "on the menu". Off menu items can increase the price to as high as $10,000 an hour. You have to drive about 60 miles outside of Las Vegas to Nye County before prostitution is legal. In Nye County they're called prostitutes and have health and work permits.
"Escorts" is a different thing. They are "High Quality Companions" in their way of setting things (which is not bad) Apart from that, calling them escorts is not bad... try calling them hookers and see what happens  Same difference in the UK, whores (hookers) are stereotyped as the skanky crack-addled hoes you pick up from street corners whereas escorts are women who come round to your house and generally insist on using protection (no way would I go bareback ) Professional escort services also regularly check their workers for STD's so you're less likely to catch any nasties. |

It's the all-seeing-eye mofo  well, I've read that. I just don't know what does it have anything to do with facebook. I think he was just referring to the fact that Facebook is a data mining dream for certain 3 letter agencies and is more than likely played a huge role in the TIA program. Quite funny that nearly every terrorist organisation has a Facebook or twitter account x) Yeah I'm sure Bin Laden made regular updates to his Facebook account I agree groups like ISIS are much more social media savvy, probably going to bite them in the ass at some point. |

Could maybe compromise and have it so people just add the words DaDice to their own custom avatar instead of having lots of members with the same/similar avatar. That way it would be more subtle and less likely to offend other members, mods etc

I have four active facebook accounts that uses completely false personal informations. am I safe or not? Facebook doesn't have access to any information you don't give it. It's perfectly avoidable.
Actually Facebook collects data in the background processes of your computer even when you aren't signed in. You agree to this in the TOS. Why did anyone sign up for Total Information Awareness book anyway? what's a Total Information Awareness? I searched for it in the internet but found nothing that ties it with facebook.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Information_AwarenessTotal Information Awareness (TIA) was a program of the US Information Awareness Office. It was operated from February until May 2003, before being renamed as the Terrorism Information Awareness Program.[4][5]
Based on the concept of predictive policing, TIA aimed to gather detailed information about individuals in order to anticipate and prevent crimes before they are committed.[6] As part of efforts to win the War on Terror, the program searched for all sorts of personal information in the hunt for terrorists around the globe.[7] According to Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), TIA was the "biggest surveillance program in the history of the United States".[8]
The program was suspended in late 2003 by the United States Congress after media reports criticized the government for attempting to establish "Total Information Awareness" over all citizens.[9][10][11]
Although the program was formally suspended, its data mining software was later adopted by other government agencies, with only superficial changes being made. According to a 2012 New York Times article, the legacy of Total Information Awareness is "quietly thriving" at the National Security Agency (NSA).[12] It's the all-seeing-eye mofo |

If reddit complies that would do real damage to their standing in the bitcoin/crypto community. I am no fan of reddit but hopefully they stand on the side of privacy on this one.
I'd like to think reddit wouldn't give up any user information but if they're leaned on hard enough by the feds I'd of thought they would have no choice but give it up. Wouldn't they have to do it by law been as it's related to an illegal marketplace? If they got a subpoena for the information they have a choice. They can turn over the information or be shut down and go to prison. Yeah it's a pretty shitty choice, if drugs were legalized like they should be there would be no need for markets like SR. Maybe one day the feds will go after the real criminals [politicians, bankers], can't see it happening anytime soon... |

Nothing ironic about it, The Guardian was one of the news outlets involved in the initial publication of the Snowden leaks...
Are you really defending the actions of this guy? He worked for the NSA and sold their intel to the media / Russia instead of changing the way the NSA is gathering information as an employee... He sold no intel whatsoever so I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, maybe you are just making stuff up? Snowden exposed the illegality of the NSA/GCHQ's global spying aparatus, this guy should be given a knighthood, not be forced to live the rest of his days in Russia. |

If you've got 1 satoshi you can multiply it by a 1000 by using a faucet If you're talking whole bitcoins, easiest way is to spend part of your salary on btc every month til you've double your stack. There's no easy way of aquiring btc anymore unfortunately, early adopter times have long gone. |

I'd have to say bitcoin. Fiat still has its uses, it's still fairly hard to live 'off the grid' though some members of this forum have lived fiat free for a respectable amount of time. In the future I would love nothing more than to have my salary paid in bitcoin though I'd be wary of having to cash some of it out (for bills, insurance etc) due to the price volatility.

Can someone explain why anyone would buy bitcoin on LBC for such a high price? Someone posted in a forum that right now on LBC that BTC is worth around $249 now. But you have ppl on LBC looking to buy at $300+ for a BTC. Thus if they buy btc from coinbase, it would cost them only $ 249 plus a 1 percent fee. Can someone explain why there are ppl that are buying at this price? Makes no sense. Because why don't someone just buy a bunch of btc now and pay 1 percent fee then sell it all to those buying $300+ per btc?
Not entirely sure, it might be because you have to get verified / provide personal information on exchanges like Coinbase (as far as I know) whereas LBC you can sign up with just an email address. People charge even more for btc on Ebay. |

The last thing the Middle East needs now is another war/invasion, Iraq and Afghanistan are shining examples of not how to introduce 'western democracy' into foreign lands.
Sadly there are too many powerful war/oil profiteers around, itching for their next blood money fix.

Yeah I've used cryptothrift to sell a few bitcoin for paypal, even with escrow you still run the risk of chargebacks in the future. Fingers crossed it hasn't happened to any my transactions on there so far. It's a decent marketplace, kind of reminds me of Bitmit.
That's true. But considering you can edit reviews of users at anytime, it appears that for the sellers with hundreds of transactions, they have never once issued a chargeback since nobody has edited a review stating that they've been scammed. Agreed it's much more reassuring when users have excellent feedback, I've always avoided the new sellers that pop up, even when they're offering the best prices. |

Crazy turn of events, you really couldn't make this shit up. Force created certain fictional personas -- that were not officially sanctioned -- to communicate with DPR ...
...Using one of these personas, Force sought to extort DPR by seeking monetary payment... Makes you wonder if DPR was coerced into "hiring a hitman." |

Bear in mind, all of your "tests" are with very low amounts. If the transactions are worth only a few dollars, it would make sense for them to follow through and give you your cash if it means you convince others that there's no scam. So when somebody sends out 3 btc hoping to get paypal because all of these $5 transactions went so well, BOOM, they vanish without a trace. EDIT: For those of you looking to get paypal, this site may be an answer https://cryptothrift.com/Money is held in escrow. There are people with 400+ transactions on there that have no negative feedback. I personally have sold about 1 btc in exchange for paypal through sellers at this site. Yeah I've used cryptothrift to sell a few bitcoin for paypal, even with escrow you still run the risk of chargebacks in the future.

Any of the forum members here who have 1000+ Bitcoins with them right now, Two questions to you? 1. How did you get it? 2. How does it make you feel? Thanks  P.s: The most I have owned is around 10 Bitcoins and it felt great lol I'm not even in the 1 bitcoin club, let alone the +1000. I doubt anyone with that amount would happily flag themselves for being btc-rich, that's like walking around with a big sign saying 'ROB ME, I'VE GOT LOTS OF MONEY.' |

Getting killed while dressed as a woman, hmm?
Pretty embarrassing way to go.
The truth is that domestic terrorism is rampant.
I'd say domestic terrorism is much more of a threat than jihadism, lots of nutcases out there with axes to grind. Even intelligence officials (UK) have admitted that the IRA poses more of a terrorism threat than islamists, problem is it doesn't follow the mainstream news narrative. Anyways, pretty silly idea to try and 'invade' one of the most secure buildings in the US. |

I think bringing back the newbie jail would be counter-productive (and penalizes new legit users). Even if they put more restrictions on newb accounts, they could just buy a load of cheap junior accounts and carry on spamming/scamming as usual. Not sure what the answer is, guess we have to be vigilant and report as many of them as we can.

Unless your buying and selling a lot of btc it doesn't seem worth the hassle, making just a few dollars on each bitcoin isn't going to amount to much. Also bare in mind that your bank account might get flagged if you start receiving large amounts of $$$$ from lots of different people. I'd argue you could make more profit by purchasing btc from btc-e (normally the cheapest price but hassle to deposit funds) and arbing to other exchanges.
