Yep, that's totally the way to ask me to remove it.

You were 'buying' BTC for $5 and said you would wait til the chargeback period was over.  You clearly didn't care too much about the coins, but you really wanted that trust from somebody high ranking.  Rep loans can get you negged here, this really isn't any different

you could have confronted me, instead of going behind my back and negging my profile. how am i supposed to know, what is acceptable and what not. christ

Some may argue you were trying to abuse the system by attempting to essentially buy trust. You'll have to work it out with him, but I don't think he did anything wrong here, especially when you were quite open in what you were attempting to do.

i simply stated that i wanted to establish myself as trustworthy, and request to receive positive trust after completion of a trade. how does that warrant a negative trust. this is bullcrap

Can you not see how trying to buy trust to make yourself appear 'trustworthy' makes you the exact opposite?

i'm not trying to make myself appear as anything you fucking retard, i'm trying to prove my trustworthiness by completing a trade!

You are managing to appear to be someone who cares only about yourself and who will fight with those who trade with you if they do not do exactly what you want.  How does that make people want to deal with you?

i want to trade with reputable members only so i don't get scammed! i would have removed my stipulation about the trust if someone told me that that wasn't allowed. how the fuck am i to know? i don't read minds.

Hero member or other reputable member only. must have positive trust. After the chargeback window is closed on paypal, or whenever you are ready, you are to send me the btc. I am accepting the risk that you will not send the btc as recorded in your agreement. if you break the agreement or if i break the agreement, negative trust will be left for the breaker of the agreement. after transaction is complete and both users are sure that the deal was successful, positive feedback is to be exchanged with this thread as reference.

I was thinking of finding reputable hero members and asking them to do trades with me. i would send first, proving i am trustworthy. Really i just want it for bragging rights. My friends at work will be jealous of my green trust rating


Attempting to buy Trust won't get you much of anywhere and it may even cause your Trust to go the other way.
Bragging rights, really?


You were warned. When one finds himself in a deep hole, the first thing to do is stop digging. I believe this applies here.





I wasn't trying to buy trust . jesus get it through your head

What is the big sin here? i simply stipulated the terms of my agreement. I fail to see why this is such a controversial an issue? People make trades and leave feedback all the time. Why am i not allowed to stipulate that in a deal?
Because you were trading to make your trust go up, not do regular trades and have your trust go up by effect like the system is for.  One means you're legitimate, one means the exact opposite.

i want to trade with reputable members only so i don't get scammed!

When I don't want to be scammed (i.e. always) I trade with any member, reputable or not, but use a trustless escrow (e.g. bitescrow.org). Trading with a reputable member means nothing, as reputation doesn't guarantee that I won't be scammed.

how can i do escrow with paypal?
You can't, it can be charged back for months.

You made it pretty clear you were trying to artificially inflate your trust, it backfired.  gg

807  Other / Off-topic / Re: Scientific proof that God exists? on: October 05, 2014, 04:16:47 PM
I'm really having a hard time here. What I mean is, if God didn't exist, that is, if it were a for-real, proven fact that God didn't exist, that would clarify some things. But it hasn't been proven that God does NOT exist.

Now, since we don't have a way of scientifically proving that God does or doesn't exist, I am having a hard time understanding how foolish some of these bold people can be, that they would mock God. I mean, what if He exists?

If God doesn't exist, any reverence for Him that I might show would be wasted. If the reverence happened to be in the form of $money that I donated to a church, then I would at least be donating to the support of some preacher. It would be like I was helping him and his family to live, no matter how ignorant and foolish they were. And I could feel a little bit of pride in that.

But what if God DOES exist? You don't REALLY know that He doesn't. Some of you should be a little more quiet, rather than mocking of something you don't know.

If there is a God, there is a good chance that He isn't just a little bit God, but that He just might be God Almighty. You are going to die in a few years. If you don't honor the idea of God existing, and He DOES exist, He has all time to mess with you if He wants. I would think THAT would induce a little respect of the idea, so at least you would act civilly towards the idea.

If it ever gets proven that there is NO God, then you have all the time you want to freely mock.  But until you have the proof, how can you be so foolish as to tempt something that might be as great as God? Some of your fellow mockers who have departed this life, might already be suffering in great pain and agony, on some other planet, in some other dimension, totally outside of your sight.

You want respect. What if God exists, and wants respect a thousand times more than you do?

Nice job being the millionth person to use Pascal's Wager

All we have guaranteed is this life, I'd rather spend my time living it to the fullest than praising some god that may or may not exist in the off chance that he does and wants to burn us in a fiery hell for the rest of eternity if we don't believe in and respect him.

Hey cooldgamer did you make your money back and any profit on these antminers from moment you bought them to now? What is your break even point for these selling now if you haven't reached ROI yet? Just curious - been into bitcoins for over a year now but always thought mining was -EV bigtime so curious to know if you made any money.

Cheers and good luck with this auction!
Can't comment on that, they were hosted for somebody else

Also, do you have all of the original boxes to ship them in?  It sounds like the S2 has the square plate to keep the boards in, rather than the 2 rails correct?

Religions, just like everything that's human, have got good and bad things (except true love, because true love is always good - true love is not passion or possession). I personally don't like or follow any religion, and believe that "God" do not depend on any of these human inventions. (I also feel fine with Buddhism/Taoism)


This is where the hard part starts, especially for folks who don't have any background in religion.

It's reasonably easy to see that there is a God. All one need do is look at the marvels of the universe around himself. The trick is figuring out enough details about God to see what pleases Him, or to see if there is any point in finding out more about Him.

The religions of the world are run by people, as you say. Some of the people are good, some aren't. Some are sincere, some are out to make a quick buck off you. The quest should be to find out about the God of the universe.

You can fight off people. If the people of a religion join together to attack you, you can join others who are like-minded as yourself, and protect your group.

The quest should be to find out what God says. Why? Because anyone strong enough to play with the "mechanics" of the universe is someone I would NOT want to piss off. I can fight people who attack me. But what strength would I have against God if He decided to attack me?

There once was a puddle of water that gained sentience and began to look around at itself in its hole. To its amazement, it proclaimed that the hole in which it resides must have been perfectly designed for it, for not even a single atom could fit between its body and the borders of the hole. Obviously, the hole was built perfectly for the puddle to live right there, and obviously it must have been designed by some super intelligence to suit its needs.

So Dicksperiment, any proof of those 50btc you own?   Roll Eyes

Yeah, Decky. Take Vod on his honor, and send him the bitcoins. He'll send 'em back if he loses.   Grin

On topic: no matter how much you guys debate how entropy works, it still doesn't prove there is a god.  Seems to be the latest buzzword for trying to disprove evolution, even though scientists have already debunked that idea.

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/thermo.html

You missed a detail of our conversation. (See the emboldened portion.)

Boil glass of water, colouring will stick to sides.
By what means shall you boil such that you do not introduce "new disorder" into yourself (as per the requirements)?


Ok, I'll sit it out knowing the water will evaporate, and leave the colouring behind. I promise not to touch it Wink

That introduces new disorder into the environment, the diffusion of the water molecules through the atmosphere.

You introduced this disorder, not I, I just sat and fell asleep watching it.. remember your up against someone who will get to the truth of the matter, in that you chose water, knowing it would evaporate of it's own accord, I had no say in this scientific fact, I merely debunked the question, using nothing.

Edit: twas a good question, you had me thinking, but it is also an invalid question with regards to your point, due to the fact you forgot water is constantly changing.
That "constant change" illustrates (part of) my point: entropy does, indeed, proceed towards a maximum.

What was then to be argued is that existence is an isolated system and, therefore, subject to the maximization of entropy, and that this "maximization" begets the manifestation of everything (not read: "everything that exists" [though, that's technically accurate]).

By thermodynamics, existence, which is an isolated system, would "spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium, the configuration with maximum entropy" (Wikipedia).

Nothing, then, is lost to everything.

It is to be inferred from there that God necessarily exists.

In a closed system entropy does increase, buuut...

Quote from: Talk Origins
However, they neglect the fact that life is not a closed system. The sun provides more than enough energy to drive things. If a mature tomato plant can have more usable energy than the seed it grew from, why should anyone expect that the next generation of tomatoes can't have more usable energy still? Creationists sometimes try to get around this by claiming that the information carried by living things lets them create order. However, not only is life irrelevant to the 2nd law, but order from disorder is common in nonliving systems, too. Snowflakes, sand dunes, tornadoes, stalactites, graded river beds, and lightning are just a few examples of order coming from disorder in nature; none require an intelligent program to achieve that order. In any nontrivial system with lots of energy flowing through it, you are almost certain to find order arising somewhere in the system. If order from disorder is supposed to violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics, why is it ubiquitous in nature?
That demonstrates my final assertion above: God would be the ultimate manifestation of that order within existence.
I misunderstood your argument, my bad.  You are simply using the god of the gaps.  There are many ways that the minimum entropy state could have come about, and since we don't know you're throwing god in there.

For example, the big crunch theory:

Quote from: Wikipedia
In physical cosmology, the Big Crunch is one possible scenario for the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the metric expansion of space eventually reverses and the universe recollapses, ultimately ending as a black hole singularity or causing a reformation of the universe starting with another big bang.
