Unless media outlets have been given private beta access to test the interface before launch, I will take any future recommendation by BitcoinMedia with a very large grain of salt. Lazy media these days just reproduce press releases.
Well as a media outlet, I hope BitcoinMedia.com can remain as unbiased as possible when reporting news (the site, not the user) and press releases.   Currently contributing to the site, I like knowing there are no conflict of interests in the background (and I also hope the things I am posting are a little bit better than reproduced press releases, look for that "Bitcoin Porn" seal of quality / spam / http://bitcoinmedia.com/bitcoinica-three-days-passes-tradehill-second http://bitcoinmedia.com/updated-solidcoin-attack-method-used-in-namec  http://bitcoinmedia.com/mt-gox-taking-over-bitcointalk-the-official-u / spam / )

There is no links between anyone, Crypto X Changer is a private Australian PTY LTD company with no connections to any of the mentioned media companies

Awesome, thanks for that clarification.   

Then now I should be asking the user (not the site) BitcoinMedia why they are recommending your services without using it ? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43653.msg521437

I'm confused, what is the point to this post?
I believe you missed the question, Why do I feel funny?

This negates the rest of your odd post where you have taken the information that I am attempting to not string together into some weird conspiracy theory, but rather I am generally fucking curious as to what is going on here.

Quote
It seems like the only facts you have are that they follow each other on twitter, and theres a post on BitcoinMedia about it.
The other fact is the post BitcoinMedia (the user, not the site) has made on top of the post on BitcoinMedia (the site, not the user), rings as odd to me is all, I question it, I am attempting to discuss it on a forum even.  So I am glad you asked for clarification of my post, I am confusing at times and am aware of it.  So the fact is everything I posted.

I follow the Free Masons on twitter and I'm a Jew, does that mean I'm an elder of zion and want to take over the world ?
To make it super clear, the intentions of my thread are to NOT draw fucked up conclusions without reasoning, thus asking questions and trying to find information Smiley

Ron Paul schedules House hearing to push gold standard



http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2011/09/ron-paul-schedules-house-hearing-to-push-gold-standard/

Quote
Texas congressman and GOP presidential nomination hopeful Ron Paul is:

(a) chairman of the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology, and

(b) an outspoken proponent of the gold standard.

Put those two interests together, and you have a subcommittee hearing scheduled for Tuesday on H.R. 1098, the Free Competition in Currency Act of 2011, a bill that would allow for gold and silver to be used as currency.

In a statement, Paul said that America’s current “pure fiat currency system” is part of what’s caused the current economic crisis—which explains the need for a bill like H.R. 1098.

The bill would remove taxes from gold and silver and repeal federal legal tender laws to free up the metals for circulation, a move which, Paul said, would allow “the American people … to have a choice of currencies to protect themselves and their families from the poor decisions of government.”

Over in the Marketplace forums there is an announcement of a new site, the "Crypto X Changer" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=43653.msg521437

The site boldly claims "Please note we will not be disclosing any of our additional & special features until our official Launch Day."

Their launch will be sometime this month.  The launch will be live on OnlyOneTV / The Bitcoin Show.

First reply in the thread is from BitcoinMedia recommending the service that little is known about, and then this post on the Bitcoin Media site is made http://bitcoinmedia.com/69878975

So full support from a site I am currently contributing to just for the love of Bitcoin https://bitcoin.org.uk/forums/topic/213-need-bitcoinmedia-contributors/

Looking quickly into this http://twitter.com/cryptoxchanger/ has their first Follower and person they are Following is BitcoinMedia and BruceWagner accounts.

So a connection is there.  Promotion is being made.  Why do I feel funny?

I was going to make a post with this information in a little tighter and funner to read way, but honestly I have no intentions of trying to queer any deal between whoever is currently behind Bitcoin Media, Bruce Wagner, OnlyOneTV, and the upcoming CryptoXChanger by using the BitcoinMedia site as a platform for such curiosities.

Free-style?  What will stop it from simply being polluted (spam, rumors, trolling, etc.)?
As a contributor, I worried about that at first.  Now I worry about quality control lol https://bitcoin.org.uk/forums/topic/230-bitcoin-media-project/page__p__1622#entry1622

But does nobody else think it is a bad thing that bitcoin is dominated by white dudes? You idiots mock the idea of even pausing for a second to analyse the consequences of that.

You constantly offer racist problems but no solutions other than changing what has occurred and assuming what has occurred is wrong because of the fools who made Bitcoin were not born with the right heritage for you

Ewww. another thread mentioning Something Awful their forums died a long time ago - for the better.

Moving forward now!  Grin

Bitcoin.  Full of insane people confirmed.

So what happened to the Bitcoin comic anyway? I miss scratching my head trying to figure out what the joke was supposed to be. It looks like only 5 were ever made, which I guess is about how long most Bitcoin projects go before the creator gets bored and quits (or scams everyone and runs away but you can't do that with a webcomic).


811  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Don't Black People Use Bitcoins? on: September 12, 2011, 09:51:57 PM
BitcoinPorn, your powers of observation amaze me to no end. I have indeed been ignoring your posts after telling you to fuck off. This is entirely intentional; you have demonstrated your racism clear enough, and I do not wish to derail this topic arguing against that. Furthermore it seems foolish to argue about matters such as equality and ethics with a pornographer... Oh, sorry, I'm the one trolling.
Dude I know.  Classic trolling too (again, I admit I bit in my very first reply to the thread, I am not in denial on that), you continue to ignore the topic you created and instead continue to ignore my posts unless it makes your trolling easier, "good times" Smiley

But yeah, try again with another topic unless you can troll your way into making this into a real discussion backed by reality and not your view of whatever it is you consider a 'black' person (which again, you haven't clarified, but again, I'm talking as though trolls discuss things lol)

He is a God among men (and women lol).

I finally went ahead and checked Surawit post's history https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=40354;sa=showPosts

I am earnestly sorry I fucked up your trolling, I will try and stay out of your threads, but try harder next time, and have your back up arrive quicker.
814  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Mt Gox Break In Part 2 on: September 12, 2011, 09:27:01 PM
Help me understand why this is not more of a big deal?
It is a big deal.  Don't let the sound of these forums silence on the ordeal or many other issues currently running with Bitcoin make you think that no one cares.

I made this post for Bitcoin Media http://bitcoinmedia.com/the-bitcoin-communities-find-the-place-right and I am thinking about making a more updated and detailed post if enough people request it, as since it's posting these forums turned into CosbyCoin among other hackings and other happenings.   I would side with gusti so far on the 'maybe this isn't DiabloD3' at all way of thinking, but at this point of the day, someone associated with him would have already denied or confirmed something else if it wasn't the truth posted here.    Or not, who knows lol.
815  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Don't Black People Use Bitcoins? on: September 12, 2011, 09:18:19 PM
Historically for much of the time voting was not restricted to whites or males, just to landowners. It just so happened that almost all the landowners were white males.

A Bitcoin economy would be the same: The people with power would be the early adopters (that's us! woo!), who are overwhelmingly white and male.

Breaking down your post in the nicest way possible so you can continue to troll hard.    According to this information, the voting was not a "racist" thing intently, it just was that way because "almost all the landowners" were white males.    I think it is safe to say in this example from history, to be a landowner, you had to be white, yes?   So basically the whole voting thing was a sham, right?

So now you are saying that the Bitcoin economy would be the same?  So you are saying that it was only white people who had the opportunity to make Bitcoin?   Also, Japanese/Satoshi = "White" to you I guess?  (going by the classic definition of they aren't race 'x' or 'y' then I must label them as white?) Or are you saying because not enough non-white people were there to invent Bitcoin, that they have to be like a bad movie and force "one of every race" just to meet your weird diversity requirements?   BASICALLY WE MUST CHANGE THE PAST FOR THE FUTURE.    We don't need more black people to use Bitcoins, we need more black people to invent Bitcoins?

You trolled good, this thread makes no sense.

I await the same version of this thread but involving women not using Bitcoins, it is sadly a little more progressive to at least discuss that as a joke.

Quote
It's kindof predictable though: such decrying tactics are typical responses from those who are yet to confront their own privileges. They are simple deflections, to avoid and delegitimise awkward questions about equality and race...
Pot, kettle, etc.  Says the guy who seems to have stopped taking questions on the topic he started.  Lots of questions, no answers, you seemed to have stopped the topic and instead we are being Meta about the thread itself and it's users, weeeeeee.

Please, who or what defines a person as White?

Who or what defines a person as black?

This simple clarification in the original post might change a lot Smiley

pic very related
At least I admitted I was bored and took the bait right away Smiley

I agree btw, just a troll, not as good as it could have been. I almost feel bad for replying and not seeing what other sort of replies it would have got Sad
817  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Don't Black People Use Bitcoins? on: September 12, 2011, 09:00:04 PM
While I think this is the ultimate end-goal, I think it's far too early to believe that society as a whole will do the same thing. If people want to celebrate their cultural heritage, I see no problem with it.
There is a big difference between cultural heritage, race, color of skin, etc.   Sadly, not a big enough difference, but, a difference there.

Attacking the man's integrity and character isn't going to achieve much. I say we discuss his propositions rather than the man himself. At the absolute least, he has an interesting discussion to offer; contrary to my previous sentiments about this thread.
Less of an attack and more of a clarification, I am not sure so much if this "discussion" is interesting so much as it is silly or based upon things that do not fully make sense.   If you were to have made the thread and chosen your words as carefully as you did, this would have all gone down differently.  But.. "Why Don't Black People Use Bitcoins?" and the thread opening how it did, well, I find this whole thing interesting but not for the right reasons I'm sure lol.


So far, if the original poster meant to say "poor people" and not "blacks" as I am reading in other posts, well shit, he is far more racist than I was thinking.
818  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Don't Black People Use Bitcoins? on: September 12, 2011, 08:47:02 PM
Ah, here comes the ever clear headed thread starter ignoring thoughts on the topic and pushing through with the separatism
What I'm asking: In the future when bitcoin is in everyday use (and each coin is therefore massively valuable), the early adopters holding lots of currency are going to wield tremendous power in society. Would the lack of diversity amongst this group not be dangerous for wider society? It would be like only allowing white males to vote.
Lack of diversity regarding colors of peoples skin and/or what country they were born in is obviously not an issue with Bitcoin, as it is a worldwide thing.    But I am going to go ahead and assume with how racist you seem so far, you see "White People" from one side of world just the same as "White People" from another side, even though languages and history would dictate different.   

Or better yet, so no one is confused further with this thread, can you please define what you consider 'white people'?

Even if that definition is just 'anyone that isn't black or spanish', I am looking to find a gauge on how racist you are.
819  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Don't Black People Use Bitcoins? on: September 12, 2011, 08:39:54 PM
Celebrating the achievements of African American's is "holding back society"? In what way? Is it because you don't want people to realize that blacks have a history & heritage well beyond being entertainment in your sporting events?
I see achievements humans make, I try not to bring in things like where they were born or what color their skin is get in the way of that.

Yay progress Smiley

Fuck off back to stormfront please
Did you check that link btw?  I think you just called this man

A member of stormfront.  It would be racist of me to assume he is black, but I will go out on a limb and say he isn't a member of stormfront, in fact, I am pretty sure he is God.

Surawit trolled during the wrong hour, sorry to ruin your fun Sad
