Although both I feel spy on me equally mumble
Then theirs Yahoo

Maidsafecoin definitely is one of the most popular sudden well not so sudden
But sudden if you were not paying attention to it appearances on the forum
Either way fascinating concept

Ukyo's a gubmint plant too.

Danny = British gubmint.
Ukyo = US gubmint.
Mark = French gubmint.
Then, presumably,'

Bobby Lee = Chinese gubmint
Those alexeys of BTC-e = Russian gubmint
Mircea Popescu = Romanian gubmint
The guy of Bitstamp = Slovenian gubmint
Antonopoulos = Greek gubmint
Tuur Demeester = Dutch gubmint

And so on.  Geez, the whole United Nations are out to kill Bitcoin! ...


Wow so many gubmints Smiley

Guess I'll add
Kaiser = Russian Gumbit

How come nobody's talking about this? http://maidsafe.net
Looks like one of the most innovative uses of
the blockchain concept since bitcoin itself. After
all it's it just about the money ;-)

People were talking about it the IPO pretty much is nearly sold out
Or I guess not really an IPO crowdfunding project
It is interesting stuff
8486  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are MaidSafe and Ethereum competitors? on: April 23, 2014, 07:11:20 AM
Since those seem to be the 2 hottest IPO for the year (maidsafe running right now and Ethereum coming within months probably) a lot of people might be wondering in which one to invest.

Now Ethereum is a platform that can do pretty much anything.
MaidSafe is just for decentralized hosting (well of everything)

The question is, Ethereium being the more versatile, can you do on top of it what MaidSafe does? And in that meaning are they competitors?

Would either of them need the average user install any clients?


Bit of a tricky question to my understanding Ethereum is a platform that can be used to develop technology on bitcoin based infrastructure but does not rely on the Bitcoin Protocol it's independent

MaidSafe does similar things and is decentralized data storage

As far as I know you will need to have both clients to use them but will wait for a more informed opinion from someone else.

What's your story? Where did you hear about it first? What got you interested? What made you stay?

Tenborru - On a certain site accepting bitcoin  - Reading Satoshis white paper - Hanging out and learning the system and understanding the potential involved
8488  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Third world countries adopting Bitcoin instead of their own fiat currencies on: April 23, 2014, 07:06:11 AM
I don't think that third world countries are necessarily going to "adopt" bitcoin, but I think there can be strong inroads for usage of bitcoins as being the primary vehicle for transferring remittances in those third world countries. I mean, the fees Western Union charges is quite ridiculous. But there's a lot more in the way of infrastructure that needs to happen before this can be the case.

I agree infrastructure remains a challenge to be solved but once the proper inroads are made adoption may accelerate quickly
8489  Other / Off-topic / Re: Where do billionaires keep their money? on: April 23, 2014, 07:04:24 AM
Most of those money is in stocks, capitals and in hard assets. Only a small percentage is in banks and in cash.

True they would not trust them that or in Government Bonds perhaps and using those bonds to sway policy in their favor

Wow that dude is dedicated wonder how he will cash out
8491  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: how to protect the people in a near future on: April 23, 2014, 06:54:43 AM
bitcoin dominated the world, people don't want to pay taxes to maintain corrupt government people, and the world had become wonderful and peaceful.

Hard to reconcile that statement. If the world is wonderful and peaceful, it's probably because there aren't too many corrupt government people left.

At that point, bitcoin is just like any other payment system. Currently, there are large black markets, and even larger grey markets. They all use cash. Substitute bitcoin.



Kind of a paradox we are implying that the reason it is wonderful and peaceful is because the government has mind controlled everyone to think what it wants and the few divisive sectors are what they are trying to wipe out Smiley

That said hopefully our advanced storage mechanisms and cryptography have advanced to the point that it is difficult to track these type of communications over the network.

I'm proud of you, need to show them that the hard way Smiley
Also surprised they didn't list Walmart and Facebook since they are entering the business as well

I don't know if this is the right place, but I wanted to share this with you.
I want to give you a little advice: don't use the martingale betting system.

I just visited just-dice.com and noticed this user:


Just Ouch that is painful but reading posts above guess it's not as bad
One years salary for some people down the drain for the normal folk though Smiley

Well as long as your alive you can learn, that or watch some drama or TV series with subtitles and learn the slow way Smiley


Well... if I devote 30 minutes to learning a new language every day, by watching the YouTube tutorials, how much time it will take me to master the language fully? I am referring to a world language, such as French, German or Russian.

Well spending 30 minutes of your time to watch a language tutorial may be faster than watching some television series with English Subtitles
But you can learn the connotations and the subtexts while learning the main language through dramas and television shows
French I guess reading Le Petit Prince and learning from Children Stories would help
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mVBaKd45jk
German and Russian never tried myself although
Guess you can find stories as well bit slower but in exchange more entertaining
That or find your favorite series and try to find the subtitles in English and rewatch in German Russian or French
Or music Smiley

8498  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Kim Jong Un Had His Uncle Eaten Alive By 120 Revenous Dogs on: April 23, 2014, 06:11:54 AM
Those dogs have a sucky fate then
If they escape North Korea they will be executed and eaten in China instead lol
Go to South Korea and face the landmined border crossing lol.

Don't you know that dog meat is the national dish of South Korea (sic)?

If any of the dogs miraculously escape from being shredded to pieces in the minefields, they are definitely going to be shredded by the Korean chefs and added to the Chilli Dog Bow Bow soup.

Ha-ha True I just kind of assumed they would not want to go that way in the first place since getting through the forest would be a migration of doom lol.

I guess those that do survive and make it will be lunch as well (This begs the question)
Where do they go if they do not want to be lunch lol.
8499  Other / Off-topic / Re: Answer the question above with a question. on: April 23, 2014, 06:10:26 AM
Wasn't that a TV show back in the day?

Think it was although I can't remember much about the show besides some spooky music, do you remember anything else about it?
8500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: April 23, 2014, 06:09:31 AM
(native) German, English and some Slovakian here - and of course, always open for opportunities to work or support in Bitcoinbusinesses Wink

hmmm... I am fluent in English and two local languages, and I can read the Cyrillic alphabet. Should have taught myself either German or French long ago.  Angry Now it is too late to learn any additional language.

Well as long as your alive you can learn, that or watch some drama or TV series with subtitles and learn the slow way Smiley
