It seems there is no innovation except combine NXT with Auroracoin

That's my view too. I have been reading all posts and everything on the Fimk site to try to find out why exactly they're calling it a "2.5" coin abd haven't found any real innovation. Guys, do some explaining because at the moment this is just vaporware.

People in this ActM thread are talking about the HF court case:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=462370.3440

How do you see what's going on? Is it good or bad for us?

Is that DZ's court case or a different one? I can't tell what's going on except not much is being said.

It's a different case, has to do with the insolvency of HF as far as I can see, which would also affect us.

Thanks, but that seems like an "all or nothing" approach, more like gambling. What I need is an "option" to buy at a certain price.
869  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best way to hedge against BTC value movements. Bitcoin futures / options? on: June 05, 2014, 05:49:42 PM
I can do better for you. I'll guarantee you Bitcoins at today's price 5 years from now with no fees.

Not sure if this is serious, but what I'm looking for is actually short-term coverage (few days)
870  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Best way to hedge against BTC value movements. Bitcoin futures / options? on: June 05, 2014, 05:30:21 PM
Let's say I want to have an "insurance" so that 1 or 2 days from now I'll be able to buy Bitcoins at today's price, paying a small premium for this insurance.

What is the best way to currently do so? I have been looking at several options on the market but I can't seem to find the solution yet:

- Icbit.se: unclear operation and as far as I can see, futures are for longer timespans (3-6 months away)
- 796.com: seems good with tight spreads but settlement is only once per week

Any other suggestions/strategies?

I received the following message after depositing some money through a SEPA transfer:

Prostitution in Spain isn't legal, nor illegal. It's sort of a legal void.

Although prostitution is legal in Spain, pimping is not. And 90% or more of the prostitution in Spain involves pimping. And in most cases they don't pay any taxes, or register with the authorities. So I'd say that the activities are largely illegal.

Of course pimping is illegal (not only in Spain, anywhere in the world), but I think that % you mention is a bit too high. I'm pretty sure the majority of prostitutes are working on their own free will as they are able to make a lot more money that way than cleaning or working as waitresses for example. A recent study showed that a quite high percentage of female university students are "occasional prostitutes" that pay for their studies this way.

And as I said, there's no way they can register with the authorities since prostitution is NOT a recognized activity in Spain (not outlawed either).
874  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Italy to add drug trafficking, prostitution to GDP figures on: May 29, 2014, 12:19:30 AM
What's strange?
In many countries like the Netherlands, Spain and Germany, prostitution is legal, and its revenues are counted in GDP figures. Grass is now legal in Colorado, and it will be counted for that state GDP figure, like gambling in Nevada. There's absolutely nothing wrong. What's wrong is that in some countries, those activities have been made illegal.

Prostitution in Spain isn't legal, nor illegal. It's sort of a legal void. In the other two countries you mention, prostitution is regulated and the prostitutes pay their taxes, but that is not the case in Spain. They can perform their activity but there they are always "out of the system", so any numbers the government decides to use are rough estimations.

I have sent money to and from Argentina (another country where it is very hard to get money in or out) several time using Bitcoin. I mostly contact people on Localbitcoins and ask them to meet with the recipient of the funds, but now some people in Buenos Aires are even offering free delivery of the cash for higher amounts (so they won't even have to walk around with lots of money in their pockets).

Good to see that the EU economy is doing so very well. Makes you wonder what all that fuss was about last year.

 Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh

The EU economy is not doing well. Many of the member states such as Spain, Greece, Italy and Cyprus are close to collapse (we can add France, Portugal, Belgium.etc to the list very soon). Only Germany is performing well right now.

Fought WW2 to stop German conquest of Europe but they still did it after the war with EU.

Without EU most countries would be better off and Germans poorer

Germans will never be poor thanks to their productive mentality (as opposed to the financial scam-economy other countries have adopted). They lost two world wars and had to take over a bankrupt East Germany after the fall of communism and they're at the top again. I don't think this is thanks to the EU, even though now they do take advantage of their dominant position to make that gap even larger.
878  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russia may build eight nuclear reactors for Iran on: May 26, 2014, 03:24:24 PM
It is clear there won't be any foreseeable reduction of nuclear weapons anywhere in the world after what is happening. On the contrary, more and more countries will try to build up their nuclear power to avoid being puppet nations which can be run over by the big powers.


There is a big difference between building a nuclear reactor and trying to build nuclear weapons. More and more countries are preferring nuclear energy, as it is the cleanest and cheapest form of energy available right now.

Of course it's a big difference, but I don't agree that it's the cleanest or cheapest kind of energy. When calculating the costs most of the time the price if disposing of the residues is overlooked. This might not be an immediate cost to assume but bear in mind that these residues have to be safely stored for centuries as they build up. On the long term it is a very high cost and has a very high environmental impact on  countries where uranium is extracted (just look at Niger and Chad around the areas where the French-managed uranium mines are located).

In other words, the costs might not seem too high for us because they are paid by others.

spain has done this since jan, do you not read your reports?

True, but that is not the first manipulation of Spanish GDP. It is to be noted that after a decline of 17.67% (from 20.356 million to 16.758 million) of the workforce since the ATH of 2007 until recent low of 2013 the GDP only shrank 7% (from 1.441.426 mill to 1.340.266). Did productivity really increase so much since then??

Some people estimate that the real Spanish GDP is about 20% lower than the official one. Of course admitting this would mean that the national debt is not 112% but an even more scandalous 140% of the GDP.

I'm not at all religious but I like this guy. First of all, he comes from the "street": he never wanted any big luxuries, used to travel in public transport in Buenos Aires and he even worked as a bouncer at club before becoming a priest. I always disliked the Catholic Church for their ostentatiousness.

Second, he has started to talk openly about some taboo topics like homosexuality and contraception with quite progressive views

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/10688421/Pope-says-Catholic-Church-should-not-dismiss-gay-marriage.html
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/the-pope/8148944/The-Pope-drops-Catholic-ban-on-condoms-in-historic-shift.html

I find the second point especially relevant as the decades-long ban on contraceptive methods has highly contributed to spreading AIDS and other diseases in the third world.

Is this just pure PR to try to stop the rapid decline of practicing Catholics in the whole world? Maybe, but still I think it's a very good improvement

On a different topic, I think the existence of aliens shouldn't be at all contrary to any religion. If God created people and many other creatures on the Earth, why couldn't he/she have done the same in other planets? Would't these aliens also become immediately "God's creatures"?
