being Muslim i will likely say that Islam is the best religion of the world. i think it will be more better if one try to do study about the different religions of the world only then he can find the satisfactory answer of this question.

That is some good advice... study each religion with an open mind... then you will see exactly how full of shit they each are

Hi jimblasko:)

This Board is full of FUD.
I want you to make a new topic.

A topic of other currencies is usually adding the moderate function.
The trust of this currency should not be hurt in FUD.
You should manage communications appropriately.
These FUD would lower developer's motivation.

It's not FUD, but legit questions. Please give me an example of FUD in this topic.
I'll give you one which isn't be answered yet: what is the added value of Voxels? Why not just accept BTC in the Voxelus store?

A self-moderated topic is a sure sign of a scamcoin

The added value of Voxels is 210,000,000VOX * $0.40(?) = $$Money in Jim's pocket

how do they even calculate something like this?

Typically, I ask google... like this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+do+scientists+calculate+the+age+of+earth

Google responds... like this:

How is Earth's Age Calculated?
Quote
The best estimate for Earth's age is based on radiometric dating of fragments from the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite. From the fragments, scientists calculated the relative abundances of elements that formed as radioactive uranium decayed over billions of years.

How Do Scientists Measure Earth Age?
Quote
Generally speaking, scientists have developed four different methods of determining the age of the earth. By using these methods, or a combination of them, the age of geological formations created by past events and even the fossilized bones of prehistoric animals can be determined.

Based on the research done by scientists, the Geologic Column, a graph that illustrates earth age, was developed. The Column, with its names for the epochs and eras of time, illustrates what scientists think was taking place in earth history. A small version of the Geologic Column is pictured at the right.

Let's take a brief look at each of these methods.

The three primary methods are:

    Radiation Measurement
    Stratigraphic Superposition
    The Fossil Record




None of this info is conclusive. None of it is necessarily anywhere near accurate. When you examine alternatives, you will see the inconclusive nature of all this. You have your choice... pick and choose what you want to believe. But know that it is inconclusive, and that you may easily be wrong.

If you study such things, as scientists do... it is 100% conclusive

One example...

Creationists, such as Ken Ham, claim that humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time (he just wasted $100,000,000 building a replica Noah's Ark with dinosaurs)

Scientists on the other hand, have actually dug into the ground and found these bones/fossils... scientists have found that humans and dinosaur bones are never found together... they are in fact separated by vast amounts of dirt (representing time)...

There are no dinosaur bones found above the K-T boundary... and there are exactly zero human bones found below the K-T boundary

The K-T boundary is a visible layer of dirt formed around 65million years ago, found all around the earth, containing high concentrations of iridium, likely from an asteroid impact
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous–Paleogene_boundary

This is how science works...


Now, how does your religion determine this is all wrong?  "God" said so?  Do you have evidence of dinosaur and human bones together?  Do you even look?

Well for me the best religion is christian catholic. I think that because for me it is the true religion. It is the true religion because I believe that God the father, the son and the holy spirit are the true god. They are three in one person.  Grin

Pics or it didn't happen!

Any day, now, and you will be gone... just like will happen to the rest of us. Because of who we are, it isn't us that will be gone. Rather it is the universe that will be gone. No pics of anything.

Cool
Wtf? He's just asking for pic bro. Why do you need to preach? And I think your even preach an atheist, that makes things worst. Lol

Also note... BADlogic knows that I have "ignored" him, and don't see his response... yet he still replies(trolls) anyway... thoughts?

I can only go on my own observations. I'm not interested in what scientists have to say on the subject. I have seen with my own beady eyes people starting off smoking weed and winding up heroin infested zombies. I believe this happened mainly because they got inadvertently mired in druggist culture.

I also know plenty of people who smoke weed and do just fine, but there are enough who are not for me to believe it is a gateway drug. If it was legal and acceptable everywhere then I believe it would largely stop being a gateway drug.

You can't rely on personal anecdotal evidence... what is your sample size, 20 people?

It is better to do something like, watch what happens in Colorado... do more people use hard drugs or fewer?  Fewer people use harder drugs now that cannabis is legal... which is more evidence that it is not a "gateway drug"

It is not and has never been a "gateway drug"... once again, that term is simply bullshit propaganda... the drug war is and has always been a propaganda war
911  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Stoping the drug war would be a great advantage to restore trust with the police on: July 13, 2016, 07:21:39 PM
It's a gateway in introducing people to drug culture. It's nothing to do with any individual drugs or their respective merits. Being around that normalises it.

I've seen no shortage of people dabble in weed and end up fucking themselves up on heavier stuff.

No one starts off wanting to do that, but it's an unsurprising progression. No doubt a significant reason for that is hanging around drug dealers and users. If you popped into a shop to get your 'shit' instead then there's a chance you'd pass all that by.

It is simply a false claim... someone pulled it out of their ass without any evidence

https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/marijuana-gateway-drug

Quote
However, the majority of people who use marijuana do not go on to use other, "harder" substances...

An alternative to the gateway-drug hypothesis is that people who are more vulnerable to drug-taking are simply more likely to start with readily available substances like marijuana, tobacco, or alcohol, and their subsequent social interactions with other substance users increases their chances of trying other drugs. Further research is needed to explore this question.


People who want heroin, will use heroin... whether or not they have access to weed... one has nothing to do with the other...

People use heroin because they get addicted to opiates prescribed by their doctor in the form of morphine, hydrocodone (vicodin), etc.
912  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Stoping the drug war would be a great advantage to restore trust with the police on: July 13, 2016, 07:03:18 PM

Second... cannabis is not a "gateway drug"... there is zero evidence of that... in fact, there is evidence that cannabis is very satisfying, and does not lead to using other drugs at all


Of course it bloody is, but mainly because in the past you'd have to hang around a drug dealer to get hold of it.

I've known quite a few dealers in my time. Not a single one sold weed only.

That's why legalising it works.

First, that isn't even the "gateway drug" argument at all... the argument goes like, "eventually weed will not be enough for them and they will move on to harder substances"... which is simply untrue and statistically false

As for your remark about dealers... the vast majority I have met only sell weed... and not once has anyone pushed a drug on me... I don't have to "hang around them"... I can show up for 5 minutes once a month... nobody cares

The simple fact is... people who want hard drugs, will do hard drugs... and people who don't want that, won't do them... that's how it works... there is no "gateway drug"... it's a load of bullshit propaganda to keep cannabis illegal and perpetuate the war on poor people

If you are black, you have a 400% higher chance of being arrested for possession (or even murdered) #BlackLivesMatter

The price is too low Angry

It's dead.

It's still worth more than Jim Blasko's first coin, unbreakablecoin... give it time... there is more room to drop

what's coin is Jim first coin?

http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/unbreakablecoin/

slow/dead blockchain... over half the current supply was instamined... pump-n-dump... code never updated, ever (seriously, not even once to fix bugs)... worthless shitcoin (current market cap under $10k for 2.2mil coins!)

Only an idiot would hire the "dev" from UNB... and I use the term "dev" VERY loosely...


oh,no,WTF!!!!!
VOX  is almost the same as unbreakablecoin
and the result may be too.

Of course its the same... Jim isn't a coder... he doesn't know the programming language bitcoin is written in... he's not a dev... he doesn't understand bitcoin protocol very well either... he couldn't make changes if he wanted to... so VOX is likely a clone of UNB (core v0.8.6, old/buggy/vulnerable)

He didn't even create UNB himself, he paid a website to do it... Matt Corallo is the name on the github commits for UNB creation (he later paid another dev to update the wallet fonts and background colors *he cannot even do simple shit*)

There are a few videos on youTube with Jim trying to talk about bitcoin/unbreakable coin and he displays a failure to understand simple things, like how mining of blocks works in the code, etc... its clear he just doesn't get it

I have personal experience dealing with the man... I have wasted many hours trying to teach him how this shit actually works, and he refuses to understand

First, I don't think you can actually use Colorado or Washington state as examples in this case - you're talking about legal weed.
You think weed will ever satisfy junkies' needs?

This is a very uninformed question...

First... they are not "junkies"... some people like to drink a beer, others smoke a joint... if you drink an occasional beer are you an alcoholic?  no!... if you smoke an occasional doobie, are you a junkie?  no!

Second... cannabis is not a "gateway drug"... there is zero evidence of that... in fact, there is evidence that cannabis is very satisfying, and does not lead to using other drugs at all


The drugs war is about money and control... it gives police the ability to seize large amounts of cash without 'just cause' or 'reasonable suspicion'... it lets cops cherry pick who they want to target (like black people)... its all about the money and privately owned prison industry (read slaves)
