GPU mining is better but I think that it's becoming obsolete now for profit taking at least, soon enough I suspect only people mining for fun will get anything out of Bitcoin mining because of the ASIC's that are supposed to be coming out but maybe that's for the best because then it will be used more as a currency.

If you're new don't mine bitcoins under the assumption you'll get a lot if you put enough computing power into it.

If he was Japanese that could well be true being the nut cases that they are

Oh it's entirely true, anyone can figure out who you are if they have hacking knowledge and a lot of time.

I'm waiting for 47 days to see what will happen next with Obama's negotiations with the Republicans before I make any sort of prediction on the value of Bitcoin, my guess is that will make a dramatic difference in how fast and how much Bitcoin will rise because everyone will be running for the hills with their wealth.

Finally! A normal looking store that doesn't immediately look like a scam or a ponzi scheme!

You should also give away a free pink shirt and a can of beer for joining.

I think IT is a spammer.

LOL! Oh well frankly I thought you were the scammer, there are a couple of places I know of like MTGOX and Dwolla? ( think that's what it's called ) what you'll want to do though if you don't want to use them is wait until the newbie status is revoked and post a request for Bitcoins in the marketplace.

If you look at the lending section we've had people posing as girls in the marketplace to try and scam bitcoins off people

Holy cow, it's 92,691 now, what happens if it reaches 500,000? LOL

..... >_<

*head desks*

People have fought for independence before, I think it is pretty naive to think it won't happen again just because of the era we're in, all that's needed is for one of the states to call themselves a republic and then the federal government will throw a fit.

You know what this means don't you? Time to go out to space to find a new even rarer metal!

Bring on the scam!

No shit, if Bitcoin users were so intelligent then why do I keep reading complaints about getting scammed?

Also, don't try and influence the way free market economics works, all the other currencies are doing that and look what's happening to them, just leave it alone and the market will grow.

The problem is whether you're talking about conservatism or 'neo-conservatism' as I'm sure Americans who actually look at politics will know the stupid and crazy evangelicals have hijacked much of the conservative movement.

Use your common sense! If someone is offering something that seems too good to be true then don't bloody go for it, it's the same with the usual currencies I don't know why idiots are so blindly thinking Bitcoin will be any different.

He's a news journalist?

Rome will fall.


I seriously hope they manage this, I need to double check things but I'm pretty sure it's entirely within the power of states to do this.

I still have things to learn about that sort of thing, I did watch a very interesting video just recently, it has a lot of emotional argument as you'd expect but it did make an interesting point about the trauma that physical abuse from parents causes to children as well as actual damage to the brain?

I'll have to look up more stuff about this, it was about the Judge William Andrews case where he beat his disabled daughter allegedly for filesharing.
