Using the government to get special privileges is great fun for men and women. It should not be limited to just two people. Groups of people should have the same benefits of marriage rights, shared health care, tax breaks, etc...

Why stop at just special privileges for just two?

They should take all of the stolen money and work on solar power too and give it to the poor and give it to schools and give it to me, give it to you...etc...

We should all just go steal money and spend it on some great things. Why wait for the government to do it?
7443  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Iowa State University to former students: we got hacked by miners! on: May 14, 2014, 06:07:52 AM
When I was in college a friend of mine worked in the computer labs. He used to steal RAM out of the machines leaving each machine with just enough to run. He would put the RAM in his computer or friends computers.

A computer program running on 3 servers is hardly anything.

I also used to run a MUD on the servers in the engineering building. I had it up for about 2 years before they found it.

I recall no letter going out to everyone in the school when they found out. They just e-mailed me and told me to not use their equipment as a server.
7444  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can you spend bitcoin if you do not earn bitcoin? on: May 14, 2014, 06:02:12 AM
it is not a good move to use fiat money to buy bitcoin and then spend the bitcoin as it will turn out to be more expensive and ineffective

Why?

7445  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's to be done when a huge quantity of bitcoins is stolen?(+1% of world btc) on: May 14, 2014, 05:52:21 AM
And ban bitcoins used in Russia and Iran too!

Great idea opening this ban door!

Who else to blacklist...hmm, what race or religions?

It is always fun to dream about how to spend other people's money.

Bitcoin
7448  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Iowa State University to former students: we got hacked by miners! on: May 14, 2014, 05:41:29 AM
So they sent you an email that basically says oh hey, we got hacked but have absolutely zero evidence it happened, and anyway you weren't affected and even if you were, nobody knows? And you want to do what about it?

Did you at least ask if you got any bitcoin?  Grin

Worse, it looks like they spent money on actual letters to each student.

Maybe when their government currencies fail and they have to use bitcoins.

They will still complain though and say that government currencies were the reason for the good ol' days. That bitcoin ruined all of that.
When 'government currencies fail', there will be an apocalypse, you will have much more to worry about than money/investing, and bitcoin will not save you. Nobody should be hoping for this - be careful what you wish for.

People in Zimbabwe would beg to differ.

More likely an easier way would be to create a mining pool that has an algorithm set to not collect transaction fees.

Then those that want to cut down the fees would join that pool when mining, while taking a financial hit compared to other pools.

I doubt it would be very popular.

He claims that war is supported by fiat currency and money printing.

I was curious about this as well.

Wars and currencies I am curious about, the civil war, the 100 years war.

I know the confederacy had confederate dollars, did the union have fiat currency not backed by gold?

Salmon P Chase, Sec of Treasury, he took out a bank loan and convert it to gold thereby depleting gold reserves of all the NY banks.  Then he created the greenback so banks issued greenback notes instead of gold notes

The Union has the upper hand because they finance the war w gold while the Confederacy had to use cotton barter

Interesting, thank you.

It would be a short term solution. A bunch of people get together to fund a large mining platform that would cost a lot of money. They would also have to pay for the electricity.

In theory they could make their money back through the rewards but if not then you have to take a loss. And after your mining platform becomes obsolete you have to donate more. Basically funding the Bitcoin network.

Or they are literally talking about some big things.

What can you buy online that is big?
7456  Economy / Speculation / What will the bitcoin price be on Friday (May 16)? on: May 11, 2014, 04:44:53 AM
Just curious what others think the price will be at the end of the week.

Barring any more attacks by banks or governments I think it will slowly rise to move above $500.
7457  Economy / Speculation / Re: The SEC statement on Bitcoin: the government is trying to destroy Bitcoin on: May 11, 2014, 04:39:06 AM
BANKS AND GOVERNMENTS DO NOT LIKE BITCOIN

News at 11.

Huobi is a Chinese exchange.

China banned bitcoins months ago.

I predict Dell will accept bitcoins online.
