The irony in posts like these is there is always going to be someone who says "That's just the way it is, nothing you can do about it, don't worry about it, etc". And when you go to his profile, he is a known trust system spammer. I'm of course referring to the poster above me.
722  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are bitcoin ATMs worth using? on: August 30, 2016, 06:52:59 AM
There was a Bitcoin ATM down the street where I used to live, they used to charge $1,000+ per BTC when the average price was between $490-500

Of course they will charge more. Not worth it unless you want the anonymity.
Damn, I think you're just making jokes with an irrelevant example... please correcting about your post... maybe you're not remembering your full experience about bitcoin atm.

I'm not joking, this was at a Hasty Market outlet in Canada.

Things that are known to science:
Evolution is a fact
Probability math shows that evolution is impossible. The thing that science calls evolution is simply complex cause and effect... programming of the universe and life.

Actually, the myth that Adam and Eve incestuously copulated and led to our current population today in just a matter of 6,000 years is what is mathematically impossible.


Adam live to be substantially older than 900. While we don't know how old Eve was when she died, people were healthy to live as long as they did. When you are healthy, sex is fun. Eve probably had 400 years of fun sex child bearing time. That's 400 kids+.

This kind of thing lasted the 1,600 years or so before the Flood, and for a time, after the Flood.

Like all the women were having this great fun.

The question is, why is the population so small?

Wars do you think?

Cool

Even the great Flood was mathematically impossible. Thanks for reminding me. At some point within those 6,000 years, life had to start all over again, this time, Noah had to incestuously copulate with his family, as well as the other animals in the ark in an attempt to recreate civilization. It does say "all the species", so where did they store the parasites?

It has been found that there is more water locked up in the mantle of the earth than all the oceans combined.

We don't like the idea of incest, and biblically it is commanded not to be done. But when you live for hundreds of years like Noah, his sons, and many people through several hundred years after the flood, the health to do this - incest - overcomes the health disadvantages of incest. In addition, the no-incest command was given at the exodus, hundreds of years after Noah.

Since Noah wasn't an animal, the "other animals" wording implies wrong thinking.

Well, where do you keep your parasites?

The fossil record shows at least 3 times the number of species back "then" as there are alive today. Noah took on board all the species he was commanded to take by God.

No Christian BS here. Simply lack of understanding or worse on the part of the secular world.

Cool

If I had to refute all your BS point by point, it would be a very long post, definitely not worth it. I have bolded the part where you acknowledge "incest for the greater good of mankind" though! You know what else the fossil record proves? That's right, evolution.


Those laws are from exodus, those are moses times. The new laws are during christ time. Its the spiritual laws that matters now and not the physical laws just as in the ten commandments are not valid ainymore.

The change or priesthood will also change the governing laws.

If you think the OT is no longer relevant, it means you embrace incest, because nowhere in the NT is incest forbidden. Lol.

And this is where you'd use the business portion of your brain and evaluate:

Should I spend $28,749.50 to change my Username on Bitcointalk? Or is it cheaper to create a new account with the username of my choice instead?
725  Other / Meta / Re: Q: Should Lauda *really* be a moderator of bitcointalk A: no on: August 30, 2016, 06:44:25 AM
Does anyone else think that Lauda should not be a moderator?

Lauda proceeds with her opinion when moderating the board. Lauda does not follow the rules of the board the same way other moderators do. Lauda is not open to ever being wrong or mistaken. Lauda does not understand what it means to moderate the board. Lauda does not bother to explain reasons behind actions in a friendly way. Lauda likes to be abrasive with people she is moderating. Lauda is power hungry.

I move to have Lauda removed from being a moderator effective immediately.

There are lots of moderators on Bitcointalk, but of course you chose to pick on Lauda, the female moderator. I'm not surprised, this place is the garden of sexism.

My brother was twelve when he made his first adsense revenue: $200. That was Google Adsense though, Bitcoin tends to be a lot more sophisticated than that. I would very much rather not introduce them to Bitcoin right now at all, or they will become like us, having nothing better to do all day than posting on the forum (Alas, such a terrible life I have).

Your entire post was full of broken links. When you paste from Info-wars or other ridiculous right winged troll college blogs, you should make sure you get the direct image link, and also make sure that it is not encrypted. Otherwise, it just makes you look silly.

Never mind, it doesn't sound like anyone here has a clue, just want to chatter up their sig campaign.

Ridiculous argument. My signature campaign posts are limited to 20 and I've met that a long time ago already. I know it's difficult, but you have to admit that what you are asking for in the title does not suit what is in the description of your post. What you are looking for is account recovery, not account hacking.

Oh, I see you have changed it now, smooth.
730  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bitcoin mining is taxable. Why the bitcoin miners don't pay taxes? on: August 30, 2016, 06:14:47 AM
How in the hell is the I.R.S. going to know if you're mining unless you stand up and say    Ummm Hello here take my money please i'm an idiot!

Dont worry, they can find your IP.

It's called a VPN.

Yeah, they can partner with VPN providers and get them to hand over your data, that's where TOR with a TAILS Live disk comes in. They usually don't try to tax you for your mining revenue unless you are a corporation like Butterfly Labs though.

I agree with that last post. Back when Obama was running, her campaign had criticized Obama supporters as "Obama Boys", to put emphasis on her gender. Then again in 2016, she called Bernie supporters "Bernie bros". Then she claimed she was a victim of a smear campaign when, she was the one who impugned her own integrity.
732  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are bitcoin ATMs worth using? on: August 30, 2016, 06:10:10 AM
Also, keep in mind that the whole goal of Bitcoin is to be decentralized. It's not decentralized if you give some corporation the power to horde your Bitcoin and then charge insane rates to purchase some. If people stop using them altogether, maybe they will be pressured to reduce their prices.
733  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Multiple issues with Armory, primary issue: Stuck in offline mode on: August 30, 2016, 06:06:59 AM
Update:

Day 2


Woke up again to see the message "Disk space low", however, I am seriously confused. The blockchain is stored on my D:/ drive which has a couple hundred Gigabytes free. The only "disk" that is low in space right now in disk usage analyzer is my Ubuntu partition which has three gigabytes left. However, for some reason I got the notification that my disk has only 500 mb left. What's the low disk space?

Does Bitcoin-qt use any other drives for settings or other storage unrelated to the blockchain?

I hate to see Mexican flags on us soil. If they love so much their Mexico they should go back.

Wow. You do realize that Mexico is in America right? America is the continent, the United States is the country. By the way, the United States flag invaded Mexico, the Mexican flag didn't invade the United States.

My post wasn't meant to be a critique of the Trust System, just the users that tend to abuse it by targetting people for their religious/political views.
736  Other / Meta / Re: Forum users targetted for their religious/political views, and I don't like it! on: August 29, 2016, 07:48:28 PM
Trust ratings should not be based on religious,political or personal views and ideologies.

I disagree.  I should have the right to distrust someone for any reason.

If your cult says theft is part of becoming a man, I am going to distrust you based on your religion.

I have had that idiot BADecker on ignore for far over a year now. 

We aren't talking about distrusting somebody, we are talking about the Trust System on Bitcointalk. Different things. Generally, a negative trust rating on here is associated with fraud. In that case you would think that all of the casino vendors and government employees would have negative ratings, yet it is very much the opposite.




As long as there is no specific guidance notes regarding Trust System presented, this whole discussion is invalid.
You can claim in your trust anything you like. Trust System it not longer tool to fight frauds - it is a weapon for personal use if you don't like someone.

You and others forget one simple thing: If you leave crap, unsubstantiated and non referenced Trust, you are actually making yourself irrelevant. People will simply ignore your ratings.

Yup, it's economics. Supply and demand. You can saturate your ratings by leaving a lot of crap in trust, but if people see giant red walls when they go to your profile, they won't take you seriously. Because there is an abundant supply.

It works for me.

Just for the sake of future reference, use this website to check if the website is down for anybody else:

http://downforme.org/

It will save you the trouble of waiting for someone to respond here.

If you have recently used VPNs, they sometimes block connections to their network, but it's uncommon.

Probably not *exactly* the same, I'm sure DPR's activism really led to his harsher sentence, he got life in prison for harming nobody!


I don't think his college idealism was causing the government to quake in their boots. here was a guy selling drugs almost beyond their reach. that's all they care about and that's why whoever it was gonna be had to made an example of.

While I agree that they wanted to make an example out of him, it was a lot more than "college idealism". The judge considered his ideas to be "dangerous", as did many other government officials related to his case.
739  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What is white nationalism and why it is so dangerous? on: August 29, 2016, 07:38:08 PM
This is what I don't get. When white people stand up for their rights, it is compared to Nazism and fascism. But black supremacist movements (such as Black Panthers and Black Lives Matter) and Mexican supremacist movements (such as La Raza) are tolerated and given governmental protection. There should be equal treatment for everyone.

That's ridiculous. White supremacy gave us the Jim Crow era, lynchings, slavery, mass murder, distribution of HIV positive needles to the black community, and lots of other crazy shit. There hasn't been such a thing as "black supremacy" in the context of white supremacy. Black Nationalism in America is just a term for anti white-supremacy.

So, to really establish equal treatment for everyone, we need to stop the glorification of the beneficiaries of the slavery era.

ross was never gonna be anything other than totally buried and if it had been someone else they'd have been treated exactly the same.
