From this thread all I've managed to gather is that "if there was a 2:1 ratio of murderers to civilians then all the civilians will be exterminated by a majority vote" or something

you suggest a system where-in if only say 60% of people agree with a vote then for every 1% of people who do not agree with it an extra day will be added until funds will be allocated to the vote. It might not be direct physical force but it is an attempt to force people to vote with the majority or not at all, which in addition does nothing of any substance since arbitarily saying "okay well we'll wait x days before we try to do thing y" isn't going to change the outcome of the vote or appease anyone. In fact it could make things worse, especially where time is of the essence such as purchasing something or emergency aid or voting.

It's called a Democracy because the majority of the population are happy with the choices that are being made. If you want 100% of the population to agree on something and are willing to essentially use force to coerce people into voting for what you want it's essentially fascism.

Minor inflation is good as it encourages investment in business assets which in turn grow the economy. People complain that this devalues their money but a majority of banks set their interest rates to inflation to prevent this very occurrence.

VISA is not a currency, it's a method of payment. Bitcoins are also a method of payment (albeit a horrifically convoluted one at this point in time due to currency exchange issues). Dollars however, are dollars wherever you go and while not everywhere will accept different methods of payment they will all do those methods of payment in dollars. Having physical money on me which I then cannot spend because places refuse to take it for no reason would screw a lot of people over for no obvious reason.

Not that it matters really, since currencies are self centralising. since it's more convenient for people to use a currency that more people accept and use it rapidly becomes dominated by one specific currency type because more people use it.

This is the stupidest fucking thing, when I go into a store to buy groceries I don't want to be turned away because I don't have the right kind of money on me.

you're forgetting that bitcoin users have pc rigs dedicated to forcing hashes.

It all makes fucking sense now, terrorists are trying to destroy our way of life and we can't do anything about it. fucking terrorists

I pointed this out months ago and no one cared. all it's going to do is force AV companies to shut down bitcoin (I mean fuck they already flag legitimate clients as malware even if it's not malware, shit)

clearly a forum that was so easily hacked no longer deserves to exist. I suggest bitcointalk be closed down and replaced with bitcoin.org.uk (please say i refered you when you sign up)

my wallet.dat was gone after I logged into the forums today and got the "uploading wallet.dat" box. So uh, yeah.

Not that it had much in it anymore because of the massive fucking price drops caused by terrorists.

What would be the point of this? You'd have a useless brick you couldn't use for any sort of exchange and wouldn't have it's value connected in any way to the bitcoin itself. It's just a stupid idea in general really.

Do you seriously believe that if you give mega-corporations free reign to do whatever the fuck they want they will somehow magically behave when even now, with the most negligable and tiny of regulations they routinely fuck large numbers of people over on a daily basis?

The only reason British banks collapsed was because Reagans best friend Margarat Thatcher Deregulated all the fucking banks during her reign of terror, in addition to essentially closing all the mines, factories, salting the north so nothing would grow and making ritual satanic sacrifices a requirement to join the tory party.

Hes right, shareholders demand money regardless of what the company is doing. Thats a major reason why GM failed, shareholders refused to let them fund the R&D into new car designs and research into what cars people actually wanted (people don't want SUVs that get 1mpg when petrol is 4 dollars a gallon) so GM was stuck making rubbish cars no one wanted.

yeah this address is GROSSLY offencive!! you should do something about that!!

So basically flexcoin is a pyramid scheme? it relies on new investors (and not income of its own) to supply the money owed to people?

Stephen hawking is british you ignorant pillock.

he calls it dollars and makes them in such a way that they are similar to real US dollars. That makes them counterfit in the eyes of the US. This is clearly the case because thats why they ruled them illegal.

It's technically accurate (there are bitcoin mining viruses in the wild and thats why all the AV programs default to blocking bitcoin now) so it's hardly discrediting.
