I wouldn't worry too much about Christians. The vast majority of them are sheep that are willing to be led around by a 2000 year old book if fiction with stories so stupid that they are difficult to sell to a small child. My 8 year old grandchild once, after her mother took her to Sunday school, told me the story of the great flood. She told me the people telling the story to her at the church were kind of silly. I asked why she thought that. She said, "because I've been to the zoo and they don't have every animal on the planet but no way did one guy and his family build a boat with hand tools, put two of everything on it and float around in a storm". All I could think to say to her was, "I'm so happy you take after your father instead of your mother".

no hooker is worth $1000 lol
You should say this to Eliot Spitzer.  He paid $4,300 to Ashley Dupré, and that too for just half an hour. He got ripped off. I wouldn't have paid more than $3,900. lol |

The biggest argument against Bitcoin - and all crypto currencies for that matter - is that everyone thinks everyone else is out to rip them off in one way shape or form. It's sad but when you can't trust anyone, how far can it go?
To use Bitcoin trust is unnecessary. Consensus is necessary. As with trading anything, all parties involved must agree with the value of the item being exchanged. Fiat is backed by trust in the issuing authority. Even transactional trust is unnecessary if you use escrow. |

Is that what your questions were about in the other thread? I think it's safe to say you have absolutely no ability to make your own alt coin. You should contract with someone to make it for you. No one wakes up with the ability to make a coin one morning It is a process you decide to go through Even if you already knew how to code before bitcoin came out you still had to learn how to do it and practice Yes, but it belongs in the altcoin sub forum not here. |

Go to bitcoin.org download bitcoin-qt and run it.
 What? That is standard I did that and it took less than a minute It did not take days You didn't start it i suppose So rudimentary I didn't even think of that. lol I opened it I just didn't realize I was 19 weeks behind How do I view the code now What do you mean by, "view the code"? Do you mean look at the blockchain transactions directly? https://blockchain.infoOr look at the language code Bitcoin-Qt is made from? https://codeload.github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/zip/masterI think this one I don't think you'll have the ability to change the logo on the splash screen of that client. lol |

Its never a good idea to keep all your eggs in one basket.
Exactly, I would never trust all assets in any one investment vehicle. Especially one as young as Bitcoin. At this stage Bitcoin is like investing in a junk bond. |

It's a good thing we have all this manipulation by exchanges. Can't have the price going the wrong direction. That's not funny because it's true. You don't get it: It's funny that it is true. Yeah, I guess so. It would be funnier if Karpeles were extradited to the US for money laundering and MtGox started working properly because the remaining employees didn't know what to do. lol Oh, and every trade came with a complimentary "magic trading card". rofl |

Thanks for sharing. It's proof that rich investors are going to get richer off of Bitcoin. These stories are interesting but I prefer hearing about new start ups that actually accept Bitcoins for product over mega miners looking for a quick buck or companies that cater to miners looking for a quick buck. Oh well, I suppose without mining profit Bitcoin wouldn't be nearly as successful as it is now.

I think the manipulators might have all died in a plane crash.
Yeah, where is everybody? This place needs some action. |

I'm pretty pleased with the stability tbh. We could well hit 550 tomorrow but it looks like we'll settle at 650 come monday. I don't expect much volume over christmas and once we get back over 800 we'll have officially shaken off china. We'll probably have a lot of panics as china exists but we'll be 800 into the new year regardless
Have you ever watched the price of petrol/gasoline during a global crisis? It increases dramatically. When the event is over and the market stabilizes the price drops but never to the level that it was before the event that moved it. Bitcoin is proving to be a commodity the reacts similarly. I hear what you are saying but gas prices are the most manipulated commodity ever. bitcoin is heavily manipulated but not to the same extent i.e. there is no real opec in our scenario. We could say the 'bit' in 'bitcoin' is because it's a bit like oil, a bit like gold, a bit like whatever. I suppose the gold/oil connection is scarcity/difficulty. I'd argue bitcoin is closer to gold than oil. Gold and bitcoin have arguable intrinsic value but it's scarcity that makes them valuable. Same for diamonds/silver etc. Yes you can do some stuff, make jewelry and electronic components but it's manly about a store of wealth. Oil is different. Oil has a real intrinsic value. It is fuel. A real difficultly(cost) to mine plus it has a cartel limiting the supply. talking out loud tbh lol I like that - a bit like oil, a bit like gold. lol I meant the reaction from market manipulation instead of actual intrinsic value. Bitcoin is highly manipulated by a few power players, so is crude oil. Oil is manipulated with supply too though. Totally agree that the bitcoin market itself is manipulated with big players willing to dump coins at below market prices to panic the market at which stage they buy back. rinse and repeat. I agree but also believe that the slow reward feeding of the supply of Bitcoin is a type of manipulation, albeit a constant one by design. The only difference is oil supply can be halted completely but I guess miners could halt the supply of Bitcoins for some bizarre currently unforeseen reason. |

Downloading bitcoin-qt is the quick part. Once you start bitcoin-qt you will need to keep it running and wait for it to sync.
It will download the blockchain from the network.
Once it has done that you should keep it running so that it can stay in sync with the network.
If you stop it and start it again later it will have to catch up with the network.
That should be obvious from the feedback visible in the Windows GUI. I think you'd have to be thick as a post to not see that it's syncing with the network, but maybe not. |
