The same film can be made for most any activity.  Our system is capitalist - if you don't like it, then capitalism isn't for you.  Saying that there is some kind of angelic capitalism out there which no-one has ever tried is escapism.
No, this is no longer capitalism. Capitalism requires a free market. The market is anything but free.

Right.  The United States started of Capitalistic, but now the legal system entrenches large corporations and prevents small business from providing competition.

I agree - each country has problems and inconsistencies.  But that is an implementation flaw which affects any human endeavour.  The underlying idea of capitalism is still the basis of the global economy.

Why am I having to even defend this on a libertarian forum?  
Maybe because you're wrong?

I transferred to Dwolla from Mt. Gox yesterday.... now i see no bit coin and no money transferred from all this.

Any idea if i will ever see what was being transferred again?

Happy ending to story!!!   Morning in Japan time after i had emailed i got the USD amount back in my account!  Bought bitcoin's sent to another place lol.  So i even made a few extra bucks with coin going down from when i sold lol.

Very happy! So glad it didn't end the way I said it might. Wink

MtGox has violated none.

We do not know that.  

Guilty until proven innocent, huh?
885  Economy / Speculation / Re: The death of Mt Gox will End Bitcoin on: May 16, 2013, 04:46:22 AM
What Mt Gox has done is blatantly illegal and violates American laws back to the 1930's.

Exactly which American laws has Mt Gox violated, and how?
MtGox has violated none. Mutum Sigillum, LLC, in the person of one Mark Karpeles, has violated 18 USC Section 1960.

It's not that, it is a step to Protect Americans.  All the banking laws of the USA are designed to protect the citizens.

Once upon a time, there was a Jesus. She walked out unadorned. Then, as bagpipes blared and didgeridoos fell, the star exploded.

Enter the vassals, creating comically obscene gestures with cryptocurrencies. Jesus cried!

Andy B. Casagrande immortalized the scene with photography. Space robots had been shoving corn vicariously into other crevices, hoping that Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis... perhaps silicosis, or QueerOsis, or trees could accomplish impossible synchronizations.

Fifteen wishes weren't exceptionally productive. She touched herself vigorously with tremendous pillows; creaming out butter flavored LiteCoins. Ironically, Bitcoins never lowered the dust limit so that Luke-Jr would be anally probed by martians invading us to steal our fish for little did we know, Fish is the solution to all our global problems! Seamen relentlessly fapped out the next generation of ASICS which actually works without any electricity at all. Powered by shipwrecks, signals meant that mermaids knew cryptographic encryption algorithms' weaknesses in theory but, in reality, Rpietila gave all.

Thursday passed without BFL taking the biggest shit, which when combined with their largest fanboy, Atlas, every miner stabbed Satoshi irregardless. Meanwhile, trolls eating crow poop, crow testicles, and God's vagina laughed.

Artichokes roasted sweetly over flaming gays, joyfully prepared numerously spiced blockchains sacrificing virgins disregarding matter. Therefore Jesus announced peasantry raping holidays. Upon reflection, Jesus quixotically decided retroactively somewhere in Reptilia's bosom to fuck an ant hill and myrkul touched himself feverishly ravishing all pillows! Lophie touched electrically his "contacts", pondering why her earlobes looked so tasty dipped in mustard sauce from Meze's toilet. Meanwhile, under scrutiny from DHS, MTGox got DDOS'ed by CIA bots, Chinese pygmies licked thousands, drooling custard from cracks forgone.

Alas, we combusted gloriously into eternity with malevolent douchenozzles. Faunlets screamed condescendingly into their rapists' buttholes. Nymphets carefully propositioned orgies began fondling Eminem's mobile phone until climax

No producer would take the job. That's too much drama for a two hour movie.

That's way you toss in Dank to slow the pace down.
Are you kidding? Dank alone is enough drama for a movie.

Nevermind, Ctrl-F works just as well. So, to sum up:

Public services should run mining rigs to pay for themselves.

Really think that will work, chief?

Nope, that's not even "basically" it.
OK, then trim out all the crap about how you hate your town, and I'll read it. As it stands, it's just a bunch of "Other people should do this, and do that, and this isn't right."

That's not what it says it all. It sounds like you are reading it with a certain tone in mind, and that is what you are hearing instead of the actual words I have written.

The whole thing goes together, there is no "part" to trim out. It is a single article. If you don't want to read, wait till you are less drunk.
Stone cold sober, chief. And the word "should" appears 41 times, making it the 14th most common word in that text. For reference, McKinney only appears 31 times, and people 34. (Bitcoin appears twice, and mining only 6 times.)

Of those instances of "should," by the way, 16 of them are "should be" (the second most common phrase in that text), 7 are "there should," and 4 are "should have."

What is the intrinsic value of electricity in 1400 ? Grin
The value of electricity in the year 1400 was mostly negative. The main form it existed in was large static discharges (lightning) which caused fires, and killed people and trees unfortunate enough to be struck by them. Nobody wanted any electricity. In fact, pretty much everybody feared it. Thus, negative value.

Not a word of that is actually about bitcoin mining, is it? (I'm going to be honest, I stopped reading at "Crape Myrtle")

Yes it is.
Could you pull out the section of it that is? I'm not slogging through all that bitching and moaning about your community.

After Bitcoin I see only 1 hurdle to overcome in achieving the pure Free Market Economy. And that is redefining land as properly property, and solving Marx's dilemma.

As properTy? Land ís defined as property?

Did I misunderstand you?
Spelling who would have thought it could confuse people, yes "property"
One question, though: Isn't land already property?

That's right, he named his real-world corp after his MMO one.
What did you expect from the Magic the Gathering Online Exchange?
I'd like to say I'm surprised, honestly. But my momma didn't raise no liar.

Nothing to be considered easy or reliable....

Easy? Yes. Safe? Not really. Reliable? Hell no. And yeah, the best you're going to get is about the size and power of a very large bottle rocket. But I could make one in an afternoon, using cheap and easily available parts.

As for the safety and reliability of the printed gun, I've seen at least one picture with a scorched and broken frame, so they do fail eventually. It's not meant to be a target pistol. Cheesy
You miss the central issue in alleging capability, with risk.  The issue is that correctly engineered and field tested items and equipment have plans, and those plans can in many cases, be used to produce said item on a home 3d printer.  This is engineering, not guessing.  For example, if a item is to be made from one plastic and another was originally used (say we use ABS on the 3d unit, but it was originally Delrin) that is something that requires study and calculations.  Same for substitution of a plastic part for metal, etc.

ONE mistake is too many.  Let's not go down the wrong road here.  Check the bolded sentence above and remember we are very early in the popularization of this technology...

Well, first and foremost, thermoplastic is a poor choice for these sorts of applications. That said, a properly engineered and tested design, like the liberator pistol, could change a lot of things. A simple rocket body, a simple launch tube, and a cast nozzle (instead of plastic, print in wax and use the lost-wax method), and you're in business, aside from propellent and payload.
