I'm surprised there wasn't a fist fight frankly, that's worrying, I seriously think that if the financial companies get involved they'll try and force some kind of change on the Bitcoin code itself and the way it operates, good thing it was released open source.
I thought this would be a fist brawl mortal combat type thread in the press forum with that title. Not much can be done if they want to invest in it, still a nice change of pace from lets just ban this. Bitcoin invites financial inclusion but there’s one impression I can’t shake off. Panel after panel were dominated by men in shiny suits and shoes reclining at their ease in armchairs – give these guys a few years and a few more steaks and they’ll look just like the ‘fat cats’ they seek to supplant.
That might happen as well just hope they all don't look like Karpeles ^_^. |

I definitely felt for him on that one but at the least he was able to strike a deal of sorts with the hacker so there is something returning to his wallet not many people can say that. Still qualifys on the master list though but I hope klee gets part of his coins and the scammer/hacker keeps up his part of the deal. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=576337.msg7802304#msg7802304 |

Presume a Libertarian and a Cryptoanarchist but at the least a Cypherpunk which is any activist advocating widespread use of strong cryptography as a route to social and political change. Originally communicating through the Cypherpunks electronic mailing list, informal groups aimed to achieve privacy and security through proactive use of cryptography. Cypherpunks have been engaged in an active movement since the late 1980s. I wouldn't know for certain but he did develop a system that can be traced to Timothy C. May's 1988 publication The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto The basic ideas are in this quote from A Cypherpunk's Manifesto (Eric Hughes, 1993): Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. ... We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy ... We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. ... Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and ... we're going to write it. ... Wiki for more info on those streams of thought http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-anarchismhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk |

He said for fun ^_^
I wish they started taking Bitcoins although I might consider trading for a microsoft key now and then instead of the coins ha-ha anyways neat job.
Then again with 1 BTC/Month for a Senior with 50 posts (drools lol)

This could easily turn into a huge evolving story. BTC/Gold is the future as fiat collapses and "almost everyone" is a paper millionaire.
Well purchasing power is how many assets you own that people want  So yep could have a bunch of paper millionaries but a lack of real ones This is cool though a three way exchange and it is part of a developing story. Wonder if Digital Gold or Real Gold will become the main driver in the future. |

Just wondering; where is everyone investing their BTC now that Dooglus has paid out all owing investments? Has there been anyone enter the market that's even close to being as trustworthy as Dooglus within the BTC gambling industry?
No real places to invest Bitcoin in my opinion now that just-dice is gone more or less I leave a bit of change on mintpal and try to figure out that market although I would much prefer a good storage location like JD anyday. |

Translation Shoot the Argentinians found a way out of our cruddy dollars we need to contain this leak ASAP (or improve the financial system in that country  ) Anyways a nice read thanks for the share good summary part The Argentinian decision basically puts Latin America in two evenly split camps with respect to virtual currencies. The public seems to be solidly behind the idea of a decentralized currency while both politicians and central banks are developing a myriad of excuses and “dangers”. |

I think that as blockchain technology develops, it will become possible to design decentralized autonomous organizations that are more efficient than any traditional structure. Paying Gavin does not require a human middleman, at the very least.
In any event, Gavin's criticism was lack of transparency, not that the organization is centralized. I don't see how more transparency would make the Foundation less efficient. They shouldn't be planning the types of things that would fail under public scrutiny.
That makes sense since a DAC will provide an incentive to user in that ecosystem strangely enough even though Bitcoin is a new and emerging technology its going through another transition phase towards these 2.0 Variants so in the future it may be possible to have decentralized organizations in charge to fund projects. Interesting stuff from a wired article on DAC's http://www.wired.com/2014/07/inside-dark-wallet/Taaki goes on to describe the bitcoin anarchist’s elusive ideal: decentralized, autonomous corporations whose equity is tracked in the bitcoin blockchain rather than in legal contracts and whose funds are held at a bitcoin address controlled in part by every stakeholder. With tricks like multisignature transactions, it’s theoretically possible to create accounts in which thousands of people control a pool of bitcoins simultaneously with no leader, and coins can only be moved when some majority agrees to cryptographically sign a transaction. In that future, math and consensus, not violence, might govern the control of resources. The result, as Taaki describes it, would be a new society where code replaces courts and men with guns as the arbiter of civilization. “We have new tools, a new class of mathematical contracts, based on the incorruptible rules of the cosmos,” he says, his voice resonating through the empty building. |

after this 3-0 defeat the only thing Brazilian players should be cheering about is finally its over for them ... no more humiliation , they can take a sigh of relief now .
I still believe Netherlands deserved a place in finals more than Argentina. lets see.
This World Cup they will never forget, they lost in their home like this can't believe. It's really big humiliation for them. They must apologize with their nation and fans. It's worse than 1950 Broke their streak of winning home games http://www.latintimes.com/brazil-vs-germany-world-cup-semifinal-can-germans-end-host-nations-nearly-40-year-winning-189614One of the most impressive winning streaks in the world is on the line on Tuesday in the World Cup Semifinal match between Brazil and Germany. In unprecedented fashion, Brazil has not lost a competitive match on home soil in almost 40 years. The last time Brazil lost was on September 30, 1975 to Peru. In that game, Brazil was well on its way to a 1-1 draw when stunningly; Peru scored two goals in the final eight minutes to beat Selecao 3-1. Since that day, Brazil has gone an impressive 45-0. We all know what happened when the streak was broken it was destroyed (too bad though not even a medal to take home in the end) # As for Qatar world cup they rather have good Air conditioning in that stadium! |

Well it doesn't feel like the score will change much now
Perhaps a momentum shift will happen but only 10 minutes remain in this match
Less the extra time
At the end it is a fair result. Netherlands have been quite good, and deserving of a 3rd spot. Germany/Argentina and Netherlands as top 3. Had backed 2 out of those 3 initially WE got a goal though 3 for Netherlands A nations sorrow is complete this game is now over well it was a while ago but this goal has no controversy I think Also as a note I just noticed a lot of FIFA ads no one bought the ad space for this game lol. |

That took me a while to get read it al but it was worth the read. I don't necessarily agree with all of their thinking but they have ideas I do understand the end goal. I don't think I am in need of that much stealth for what I do.
Ditto I will give this a read later as well but thanks for reminding me to check out the next issue of Wired Was reading about Occultus Rift and virtual reality becoming reality finally so they always have interesting articles. Thanks for the share |

Inb4 members post thinking xhamster.com is a pet store.
You took my line and I am familiar with that site ^_^ Good to hear though and Bitpay really is getting a lot of new users. Inb4 members post thinking xhamster.com is a pet store.
Uh oh...now it's too late...I told my wife to go there without looking and told her to pick out whatever she wanted for when we move into our new house...   Smooth |

It's fine to post in off-topic as long as it's not exclusively in there. If you sign up for a sig deal and then immediately go reply to as many off topic threads as you can then you're very likely to get banned. The last person to ask in here if it was okay to post in off topic went and got himself banned within a few hours. If you do post in there though make sure it's not just short replies in silly threads. Put some thought into your responses and contribute to discussion and you'll be fine.
Yeah, that is what I thought. Btw how you are "Staff" now? Reported a lot of spam posts and the sort accurately and made the staff go a bit crazy XD I kid but Theymos probably thought it made more sense to have him as a staff member than a reporter with all the posts he catches. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624427.msg7763245#msg77632451000 Posts = 1000 Reports ^_^ Well 1450 As of that Theymos post out of looks at H@C current 11321 So a pretty damn high ratio of 12% |

They are fine especially when you have cases where you would need to find someone guilty of something I saw this thread and someone made a bounty using Bitcoin so it has precedence So yes this and the lerner e-mails would be good examples of a Bounty request in Bitcoins and should be legal. |

Been saying this for awhile now, we NEED to develop space flight as a species, it's necessary for our survival.
What we need is politicians who will prioritize space programs over nonsense wars. Space programs need big budgets. What we need is politicians who dont have the power to control everything. For all we know the elites already have space transportation ready. We can have both we will call it the Gundam Universal Century Universe. Good old war and gundams but yah I would love to see space travel more affordable efficient and faster. Space X etc. Anyone watch the movie 2012 is based on this theory. But the polar shifts happen only in one day. It would be catastrophic if this happen even in one month. There would be lots of earth quakes and mega tsunamis. Mankind could be extinct.
It's imposible that the Earth's magnetic field could trigger such catastrophic events: it's just too weak to affect huge land or water masses. Our planet is not magnetar. Yah not enough magnetic effect to really impact earths magnetic field enough to cause catastrophes. Mining or fracking would have more significant effects than a pole change. That said I do have a curiosity would it impact any electronics in the very long run if the things were still fully operational. |
