Could we just get their Bitcoin addresses (like PM trolls telling them you will donate), and then DDOS the hell out of them?? Then they will never receive money with the same wallet ever again, and hopefully leave here as well.
you're talk about serious criminal offense. It is a global network, there is no way to know if they are US based from their wallet address. It's not a federal crime to DDOS foreigners, and also Bitcoin is legally gray anyways. |

... with moderation?
Maybe you need an official moderation document describing what and what not is allowed on the forum? Maybe the dedicated people you have here would be willing to help?
Maybe you need to add a few more dedicated long term people to the moderation pool?
Maybe you could write to us a little?
They are all rich with their 10s of thousands of bitcoins, many of which they sold today. Why do you think they care? |

I made a graph of the problem.
Time vs Quality of Posts

======================================
Time
As you can see, it will only get worse. It's really hard for newcomers here because of all of the trolling. Something needs to be done. Maybe we need a karma system, like reddit, so that the higher-quality posts rise to the top.
Please donate if you like the graph/idea (addr in sig).

Just stop responding to them. Think of this as growing pains, it sucks now, but we're going to be stronger/faster.
I would be very interested in a more serious, invite only message board/system. It seems that much of irc has also become polluted.
This is like when the influx of people from AOL in 1993 ruined Usenet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September |

I am philosophically against selling Bitcoins, I only buy.

Hopefully 0, so I can be the only person mining, and then I will be awesome.

Remember that time in Boston when a bunch of trolls threw tea into the Harbor? They sure had an effect.

 I think it is a correction. It still fits the general trend of the curve, going back this month and further. |

What caused BTC to crash by $9 so far?
Bush did it. |

Gold didn't crash in the centuries before they had this sophisticated technology. |

I really believed in the bitcoins concept, but now it looks like a sad bubble that is about to explode in any moment. I almost put money when it was 30, but luckily I couldn't manage going to the back to do the wire. Sometimes when you feel unlucky you find out later that you were lucky.
At present, Bitcoin is useful as a transactional currency, but it is too volatile to be used as a long term store of wealth or as an investment. So one should not "put money into Bitcoin," unless it is for fun, and it is speculative capital you don't mind losing. Bitcoin is not backed up by anything, so when one card falls all the building collapses. What is gold backed by? By itself. Gold is a commodity that has demand regardless of any currency. LOL. ok, you win the debate, I will go back to watching Camelot. |

So when gold collapses, what does it fall back to? Its commodity value? I think his implication is that gold is backed by other currencies, which happen to be backed by gold. |

It was all the people in Wall Street, the Obama administration, etc. all conspiring to steal our money. They just did it again, and will get away with it, because in the Bitcoin realm nobody has any accountibility. C

It's going back all the way down to 0. Everyone will stop trading, turn off the thousands of graphics cards, uninstall the client, etc. Exactly the same thing happened with egold.
Good, then I can mine bunch all by myself  You and me both. We can have a 2 person economy.  |

What happens if a Spanish galleon full of gold sinks in transit in a storm? Is it the end of gold??

release of 1% causes a 110% price drop....
Check that math... $20 minus 110 percent equals... negative $22. $10->$20 = 100% increase $20->$10 = 50% decrease True, but you forgot to mention the assumption that you are only dealing in base 10. |
