You seem to be listing banks as Bitcoin-unfriendly because they are shutting personal accounts that people are using for Bitcoin business transactions.
They'd probably shut you down if you were doing Euro/Pound/Yen trading with your personal account too.

They aren't "ignoring" their bitcoin customers if they are actively going out of their way not to service their accts, and lose business in the future. They've made a simple calculation that the cost and effort required for the Bitcoin related business is more than the fees it brings in. |

Set yourself up for Auto Payout for both BTC and NMC and the coins will come rolling in like clockwork. If you don't have or want a Namecoin wallet, many folks use an exchange which accepts mined coins. Not all exchanges do but www.btc-e.com does and it works fine for me. Payouts from BTCGuild aren't mined coins in the sense of p2pool, where they come from the coinbase transaction. You can payout from BTCGuild to Cryptsy, for example. |

My moral guideline? Morality is universal. It is the same for me and you, just like gravity is the same for you and me. This statement is an opinion; it is neither objective, nor verifiable nor falsifiable. You would not be able to prove it. |

Attempted to scam people into his altcoin by having conversations with himself under an alias: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=242406.msg2589322#msg2589322Why don't you people lay the fuck off the guy. Sure, his Coin doesn't bring a whole lot of innovation, but he's a nice guy, and a good dev. From what I've seen, this has been a fairly flawless launch. The hash rate was fairly high, for a while, and not a single post, from anyone, complaining about the client, or anything to do, with the actual launch of the coin. If it had some pool support, the coin might actually go somewhere. Not very far, mind you, its not the next BTC or LTC, by any means, but its gone much smoother than a lot of the coins, that the community has supported in the past.
He's paided out his bounties, albeit only one has been claimed, thus far. He's honored his give-aways, and has created a contest, and is giving away a shit ton more. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=242406.msg2592681#msg2592681Everyone is anonymous here, you fucking idiot. I can assure you, my parents did not name me Hydroponica. I know he's a good dev, by the way he's launched his code, and interacted with other people. I also know what else he has in the works, because I've been talking to him. He's too much of a nice person, to tell you to go fuck yourself, so I'll do it for him. Go fuck yourself. And then... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=242406.msg2622484#msg2622484Oh, and then there's the fact, that this is indeed, actually my coin. This was a test coin, to learn the ins and outs of creating and releasing a coin. I'd rather experience failure on my clone coin, than the actual coin I'ce been developing over the last month.
All in all, it has been a learning experience. As far as launches go, I feel mine was pretty flawless. The only failure here, was the lack of interest, due to the fact, that this is a pure clone coin. |

Nice of you to publicly link accounts to IPs, that should make the account holders very happy, I'm sure. |

I am rather belief-free. prove me otherwise. You believe in a universal morality, through both time and space, that just happens to coincide with your own moral views. What are the odds of that? Unless you think you have a special insight that others don't. Personally of all of the various religious or ethical 'taglines' I think 'An it harm none, do as thou wilt' probably come closest to a neutral morality, but I don't expect everyone else to agree, or think that this is somehow right. You simply cannot establish morality as a fact, there is no way it can be measured, observed, or proved. |

Use this pool the other one have like 50%+ stales atm some fuckbug somewhere. With a single GPU on the botpool pool, I'm getting 0.5% rejects. |

Put a bounty on a marketing package of sorts. JR - Please don't listen to this nonsense. Zero marketing is correct. If it works, it works. That is all. Marketing might be useful once there is an it. At the moment there is nothing but a set of ideas. Mastercoin is to XRP as Ripple is to ...? At some point someone will need to fill in the blank. |

Morality is also universal (independent of time and space and independent of person using this particular concept).
This simply isn't true, which should be obvious after any consideration. There are many things which are considered immoral now, which were not previously, and vice versa, or which are considered immoral here, but not there, or vice versa. 12 years old getting married and having children is considered immoral now, but was perfectly normal at some points in history. What you are saying is that your own personal set of moral rules are the only ones that are right, have been and always will be right, everywhere in the world, and anyone who disagrees with you is wrong. That is a very common viewpoint, usually promulgated by religions. In fact, morality is, and can only be, personal. Each of us has an inherent sense of right and wrong, that is our set of morals. It is obviously shaped by the society around us, and our upbringing and experience, but it is still ultimately personal. |

I hope you are getting differences between morality and legality. I think you are missing the point. I'm not saying what I think should be done. What I'm saying is that if group A decides to taint a certain set of coins because of they believe is morally wrong, why shouldn't groups B, C and D do the same? And they will each have different things that they consider morally wrong. Now coins will be seemingly randomly accepted or rejected based on some group's view of what the Nth previous holder had done with those coins. It would render the entire system unusable. Money works because people trust that it will be accepted. If that trust is lost, money loses value. And, btw, I'm pretty sure there are many many more people in the world would would consider dealing drugs to be morally wrong, as opposed to considering confiscating money found when arresting a drug dealer morally wrong. |

Yes. I wan't suggesting this was a good idea, just what a logical extension would be  Money gets passed around, once it has passed from the 'tainted' source to someone else, it makes no sense to continue to consider it tainted. It is just money. If money ceases to be fungible, it erodes its value as money. How could you trust accepting money from anyone, if later it could be declared tainted and unspendable just because of something they had done with it before it came into your possession? |

in fact we had 4 fires/burnt caps so far
2 x 0.92
1 x 0.93
1 x 0.94 (this one today at the datacenter of anotherhosting.se)
Sounds like I'm installing 0.91 If it has happened on 3 different firmware versions, the most likely conclusion is that it has nothing to do with the firmware, and is simply a hardware issue, either bad design or bad build. |

The only people that say that are the small group of lunatics you hang out with who will become irrelevant as Bitcoin expands.
Yep, you're new here. Those lunatics have supported bitcoin the most from the start, and are still it's biggest supporters (hint-hint, those lunatics include people pretty high up and well known in bitcoin businesses) And if Bitcoin is to become maintream, they will be more and more marginalised, and pushed out of the picture by people with more 'normal' approaches. Bitcoin can either: a) be a super-secret crypto-anarchist tool for conducting illegal deals and sticking one to the man, or b) be the future of money transfer around the world It can't be both. |

I have an idea for a new type of crypto-asset:
The protocol of this new asset should envisage in cases when coins get stolen / extorted by people doing business as ''governments'':
a) a mechanism for tainting the stolen coins (if you are a moral human being you wouldn't deal with such tainted coins, you wouldn't buy them, their market price would be lower), or even
b) a mechanism for making the stolen coins unspendable (thus screwing the thieves - a crime should not pay!), or even
c) a mechanism for making the stolen coins retrievable by the victim of the theft / extortion (in case the human that was attacked gets freed in some point in future).
Hmm. Seems like if Bitcoin does become mainstream, this is more likely to become: The protocol of this new asset should envisage in cases when coins are linked to illegal activities like drug dealing: a) a mechanism for tainting the stolen coins (if you are a moral human being you wouldn't deal with such tainted coins, you wouldn't buy them, their market price would be lower), or even b) a mechanism for making the stolen coins unspendable (thus screwing the drug dealers - a crime should not pay!), or even c) a mechanism for making the stolen coins retrievable by law enforcement (to remove the proceeds of crime). |

4. I am considering adding a "conservative" multiport that will only switch between NVC, LTC, FTC, MNC and possibly CGB. Would like to hear opinions on this.
This sounds interesting, but what might be interesting is to see some of the other riskier, but more profitable altcoins get added to a superset pool (like NRB, DMD, BTB, STR, ANC, etc). That way you have 3 varieties to choose from. Most of the 'more profitable' coins are only more profitable because their difficulty is below 0.5, making them undesirable targets for mining by Multipool. They'd be like LKY or ARG, only profitable for a couple minutes and then we'd switch to something else. ANC I think will be a good add. CAP, CGB and MEC all have single-block difficulty adjustments and the pool spends quite a bit of time on those. While CAP, CGB and MEC have single block difficulty adjustment, the adjustment itself is limited to only couple of % based on the time it took the network to find a block. ANC on the other hand has wild swings where every adjusment is 29% of the previous difficulty and those adjustments have nothing to do with network speed like they are for CAP, CGB and MEC Apparently ANC is about to adopt the MEC algorithm, which should improve things. |

No, they don't hate it.
Try to think in a more adult manner, who would they?
If you use Bitcoin to sell drugs, or operate unregulated exchanges, they will try to shut you down. Just as they would if you used dollars, pounds or euros.
If you use Bitcoin to sell shoes, then as long as you pay your taxes, why should they care?

The police have arrested people.
That means they must have had enough evidence to convince a judge to issue an arrest warrant.
They will get exactly the same chance to defend themselves as anyone else who gets arrested.
How exactly does that equate to martial law?

But what if the intent of the hack was to disrupt the bitcoin community rather than to gather information? Why? Do you seriously think anyone in power gives a damn what is being posted here? It is completely irrelevant. They have more important things to do. |

Anyway, why must someone be considered moronic for not having health insurance? If health care was both affordable and necessary at all times in a person's life, surely insurance would be simply an extra provision; what separates health insurance from an individual merely setting aside a portion of their check for when they need it? You have insurance for things that: a) have a low likelihood of happening, but b) have a large financial consequence if they do happen The chance of you having a complex condition that requires lifetime care is very low. The cost if you did have such a condition would be beyond the reach of most people. Therefore you buy insurance to cover that risk. There is no point insuring against things that are very likely to happen, and whose financial costs are known, you should just save for those yourself. |
