How to do this CAPTCHA shit.  It's a form of slavery!

They're trying to get you to type in some shit.  One of the words, they know already.  So if you type that in incorrectly, you lose.  But the other one is the one they want you to type.

So type in the one they already know.  For the OTHER word, just type in some bullshit.  Like nigger.  Or shitcock.  Whatever. 

I'd have been totally fine with Silk Road paying for ads.  Unlike BFL, Silk Road vendors actually delivered what they sold.  Taking money for BFL ads is basically stealing.

I should emphasize that I use Coinbase myself and think they're one of the best BTC services available to Americans.  They've also implemented two factor authentication pretty well.

Still, that high risk email is downright goofy.  If you just tried to do something normal and got turned down, you're already going to be pissed off, so the email telling you why you just got shafted really shouldn't rub salt in the wound.  And that's exactly what it does.  It calls you an idiot and then misspells shit while doing it, then basically concludes by saying "better luck next time LOL."

It would be hard to design a worse "fuck you" letter.

Agreed.  Seriously, guys?  Who wrote this shit?

I've never received this particular letter (I generally sell BTC through Coinbase and it's been excellent for me), but if I had, I'd be pissed!

Does your fuck you letter have to be that offensive?  Hire someone who can write.

ETA:  Also someone who can spell.  "Preventitive?"  WTF?  Hint, it has a goddamn A in it.

BFL pays for ads.  That's all this site cares about.

More likely they have someone reading incoming mail who immediately throws it out the moment they don't understand something.

You can say that about any medium of exchange, though.  Replace "btc" with "cash" in that sentence and it's just as true.

The media often talk about Bitcoin and throw around the word "anonymous."  However, there is nothing inherently anonymous about Bitcoin, and unlike cash, if you screw up your anonymity measures with Bitcoin, there is a permanent record of it.  Bitcoin is not really anonymous at all.  In fact, it's the opposite.  Non-repudiability is basically the opposite of anonymity, and it is much more the core of Bitcoin than anonymity.

Why in the world have you appointed yourself as some kind of weird defender of the biggest dick this forum has ever known?  What are you getting out of it?

Cause you seem to be an okay guy otherwise.  Why the hell have you allied yourself to this fucking jerkoff Josh?

Again, I'll disagree.  The justification for the laws is stopping terrorism and criminal enterprises.  Their actual purpose is more nefarious.  And since you weren't very specific, the particular laws I'm talking about are USA PATRIOT and the vast tranche of laws pursued under the "War on Drugs."

Nobody takes that asshat seriously.

Doesn't that kind of depend on whether you actually bring some logic to the argument?  There are a lot of laws that are commonly accepted as being "valid" that are just plain wrong. 

I do agree with you that some bitcoiners are so reactionary in automatically dismissing any kind of majoritarian law that this basically results in radicalizing the whole community to the point that cryptocurrency itself is rejected as a radical concept.

This just isn't reality, though.

Bitcoin isn't going to destroy governments, although cryptocurrency itself makes a lot of government abuses less practical.

Governments aren't going to destroy Bitcoin.  They don't even want to, apparently.

However, there is a hell of a lot wrong with a lot of laws that Bitcoin does have a lot to do with addressing.  And I'll disagree with you.  We will win the fuck out of that argument.

No we shouldn't.

Also, is that a death threat?  Because I'm Satoshi, you dick!  How dare you try to take out a "clean hit" on me with the very currency I created?  You damn pirate!

Josh the shitmonkey has routinely done shit like this with no consequences whatsoever.  The scumbags who run this site take money from his company to advertise the scam to this day, because money is worth a lot more to them than integrity, since they have none of the latter.

Interesting idea.  There still has to be a way for bandwidth and money to be mutually fungible, so you can't tell the (probably dangerous activity-creating) payers from the (probably idealistic) bandwidth suppliers.

Short answer?  You DON'T.  At least unless you're a moron.

A little late.  I already joined and busted out by going all in every hand.

People should stay away in droves.  If these idiots trust Nefario, like idiots before them, they will get shafted just like the previous idiots, and they'll pass the costs of their stupidity onto anyone who trusted THEM.

"No, I just buy another car."

Looks like it's a 4 minute blinds 50 chip-ament ALL IN ALL IN fest.  I'm going all in first hand whatever I have.  And then repeating that.

Thanks for letting me know this exists.  Apparently, you can sign up for it under your account page if you qualify.  I still have no idea what it is, but I just registered for it like I would the krillrolls.  Hope you can too.
