He has some interesting connections. It could be Satoshi... But since it is all speculative, so could I.
 Huh

Well, the question is if you want your coins to be stolen or not? If you want them to be stolen, take an online wallet. Lot's of people do that. I don't know why, but I guess they feel generous.
lol +1
Online wallets come with risk. Even if you use strong passwords, you may not be able to trust the website holding your coins. One strength of bitcoin is that you can do it yourself and not have to trust anyone.

6724  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is Palio diet and how effective is it for weight loss? on: June 26, 2013, 08:02:36 PM
I like the idea of eating like a caveman, but I don't think they were into weight loss. The bottom line is if you eat very little and move around a lot, you will lose weight.
In fact starving yourself is the only proven diet that will prolong your life. Your long, hungry life. lol

We seem to have a problem deciding on how it will happen. But at least we can all agree that we have hopelessly screwed up the world.  Grin
6726  Economy / Speculation / Re: With Gold & Silver tumbling, will investors seek out Bitcoin as a hedge? on: June 26, 2013, 07:41:03 PM
Reading that makes me more likely to trade BTC for gold. I buy when the market tanks and sell when it soars. I divested of it a few months back when it was clearly at a silly high.

Perhaps it is time to buy back in. Hmmm.  Smiley
6727  Other / Off-topic / Re: selling my wallet with 4+ btc on: June 26, 2013, 07:33:25 PM
I doubt your a scammer. I think your just forgetful, like me.  Smiley

However anyone buying this does incur a risk. You could have another copy that allows you to drain the wallet while I try brute forcing it. Buying / selling wallets is a risky thing.

A fun alternate way of doing this might be a contest. For a smallish fee (0.1BTC) ,send a copy of the encrypted wallet to anyone who wants it. The first person to successfully break encryption is in a position to move the bitcoin and declare themselves the winner.

Certainly the CIA did work with people who went on to form Al Quaeda, but the group formed after the Soviets left. (1989-90?) As in any war, you side with anyone willing to fight, or you lose.
I have to disagree with the idea that the CIA works with Al-Quaeda. I have friends and relatives in the intelligence community. They see the base as an ultimate enemy in every way. And anyone within AQ who was caught even trying to talk to a western intel agency would meet a horrible death.
Jihadists are religious nuts first and foremost. They are fighting a super-natural war with the forces of evil. Cooperating with the west is bargaining with the devil and cannot be allowed under any circumstance. 
I have met some of them myself on the battlefield and they are not afraid to die, nor do they make deals. You can convert to Islam, get out of the Muslim lands, or die. That is all AQ offers to westerners.

This is a phishing attempt, don't click the link.
Can you explain? I don't see some of the tel-tale signs.
EDIT: well, never mind. The link is gone now.
EDITx2: I get it now, I was not familiar with that site.
6731  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Bitinstant cutting people short with double-fees on: June 26, 2013, 06:54:47 PM
That's the whole point with bitcoins.
And you still don't get it, you dumb.


Price will always be more expensive when it comes to bitcoins.
VISA / MasterCard / paypal can charge you to buy things on internet.


But they will never charge you more than bitcoin Sad
The fees are not "bitcoin fees".  I think you are thinking of fees charged by private companies for services related to bitcoin. Competition is the solution to this problem, and market forces will ensure that it happens.

I agree that if TBF is cut down we should construct another one (or two) for that very purpose.

...
I'm not quite understanding. Do you consider it "cut down" because of this letter? If so then we are all cut down. If TBF is being called a money transmitter then I think all bitcoin peers will fall into this category. It appears that simply running the client may be interpreted as a crime in CA.


You've just nailed my biggest fear exactly. If, due to lack of understanding, malice or unwillingness to learn, CA legislators found that the client is a basic tool of transmitting electronic funds...

That was a fear of mine as well. I thought FinCen's guidance ruled this out. It looks like it did not convince CA lawmakers. What a legal and economic mess California is. All their rules have made Cali a silly place to live.

These accounts will be a wonderful addition to any scammers portfolio. lol

5 post accounts for scamming?  Roll Eyes

But seriously, if you buy one of these accounts you can forget about doing business with me.

Go and cancel your BFL pre-orders and your MPOE account too.
Just to be clear, I am not against anyone doing this. But I prefer not to work with lazy, dishonest people. I also saw you were buying established accounts for resale. It would surprise me if none of your customers were scammers. 
Not that you should be held accountable for their actions. You are not doing anything wrong, IMO.

meh, The US took out Bin Laden, all of his top leaders, and his entire Al Queda organization...
I don't know man. On Sept. 11, 2001 Al Qaeda had sent about 10K through their base camp. (Al Quaeda means military base camp) Today I don't think anyone even knows how many tens of thousands of fighters they have. They control territory in Africa, Yemen, Afghanistan and others. If you include other Jihadi groups then we see that this is a rapidly growing global movement which has expanded massively since 9/11.   

Depends on whether you give into the US propaganda or not, the US claims that every single group that rebels against them belongs to Al Qaeda and that Al Qaeda is a terrorist organization that has many independent cells in many countries which is a quite big claim, it completely ignores the fact that some people (or most) might want to rebel against the violent occupation, since really, there is no such thing as a peaceful occupation.

No need to get all tinfoil-hatted up, the US is strong but not THAT strong.
Fair points. "Jihad" is on a spectrum from peaceful resistance to combat. I was only thinking of groups that have publicly sworn an oath of allegiance to Al Quaeda, Al Shabab, for example; Or official franchises, such as Al Quaeda in the Islamic Magreb.

Its going to be an "interesting" next ten years, I can tell you that.
This reminds me of the famous Chinese curse. ( 願你生活在有趣的時代。) "May you live in interesting times".  Undecided
