I'm in for sure.  Toes and fingers crossed. |

Paying back foggy in a matter of minutes. Max Pumper has had the steam games revoked, so after this everything is paid.
Confirmed. Thanks Konichua. |

You'll know bitcoin's boat has sailed when we're struggling to find uses for bitcoin beyond narcotics trading, gambling, and buying bitcoins simply because of the belief they are going to be worth more in the future without a concrete reason as to why.
Struggling to find uses for a currency.... That idea is wholly illogical. The online commerce market is approaching 1 TRILLION dollars. All bitcoin needs is a 1% cut to make it a wild success. |

I vote for Gmaxwell.
I don't think Luke-Jr's lap dog would be appropriate ... Anyone who would be "his" Lap-Dog would be easily compromised ... Cancel that, I vote gmaxwell for both spots so kano doesn't get one.  |

Mining is not at all a form of gainful employment. In fact it is all too likely to become just another black hole to throw money into.
If this is true then bitcoin is doomed. As there would be no incentive to mine, keeping the network secure. This issue has been thread-spammed to death. People don't need incentive to mine, they just need a good reason to feel good about mining at a loss. See the Folding@home project. People fold because they feel its a worthwhile donation of hashpower. Many people feel the same way about bitcoin. |

No its drugs, its always drugs, since the dawn of time.
*until we have a way to replace drugs
This is the killer ap: 16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Government regulation. |

depends on the camera i guess
Not really, in this case. I'm speaking of optical quality, and lens build quality, which is not camera dependent. The lens is specifically sharper in the corners at large apertures compared to the Nikon 12-24. The Nikon 12-24 is kinda rinky dinky (more fragile) in the way its outer shell is designed. In fact, as camera sensor technologies improve, optical quality becomes more noticeable, as any defects are magnified the better the camera resolution. I request higher quality pictures, if at all possible please. I'll buy it for $250 + 30 shipping Give me til tomorrow to come up with pictures, as well as some sample photos. I have to be 100% sure it has no issues before I sell anyway. |

I kinda feel sorry for all the spent GPU's out there forced to calculate a problem to which the solution is worthless. it would be cool if the network was used to calculate something like the next prime number...
Wow, I can't think of a better thing to devote my computing power to, than open-source, decentralized, power-to-the-people, currency. Centralized money is the root cause of much misery and suffering in the world. |

It would take a very long time to decrypt your wallet. You're good. You may want to change the number of characters in your password now, as that you've told the internet it's 17.
Ha. If they know its 17 characters, now the attacker only needs 10,000 lifetimes to find the password as opposed to 18,000 if he had to try all the shorter passwords too. |

Libertarian my ass. This is Nazism. Because, once propagation as such has been limited and
the number of births reduced, the natural struggle for
existence, that allows only the very strongest and healthiest
to survive, is replaced by the natural urge to 'save' at any
price also the weakest and even sickest, thus planting the
germ for a succession that is bound to become more and
more miserable the longer this derision of Nature and of
her will is continued.
But the result will be that one day existence in this
world will be denied such a people; because man may
certainly defy the eternal law of the will to continue, but
nevertheless revenge will come, sooner or later. A stronger
generation will drive out the weaklings, because in its ulti-
mate form the urge to live will again and again break the
ridiculous fetters of a so-called * humanity' of the indi-
vidual, so that its place will be taken by the 'humanity' of
Nature which destroys weakness in order to give its place
to strength.
He who, therefore, would secure the German people's
existence by way of a self-restriction of its increase robs it
of its future. Excerpt from Mein Kampf, Hitler. He was obsessed with the "natural" dominance of strong over weak. Mein Kampf word count: power, powerful: 442
old: 225
weak, weakling, weakness: 189 young: 148
strong: 107 freedom: 96 honor: 65 love: 48 justice: 35 morality: 18 liberty: 16 wealth: 13 mercy: 7 compassion: 1 |

Inaba did confirm, see OP: Although this may be cause for concern to some, the fact is that we're a robust company with 22 employees. One of them has a colorful background in offshore libertarianism. If I thought there was even the possibility of something unsavory going on within BFL, you can rest assured I would a) not be part of it and b) would let everyone know it.
Heh. Libertarians. Speak up. Is mail fraud scamming old people (admittedly the victims being not so bright) in the Libertarian playbook? I must have missed that chapter. From what I've been able to pick up out of the playbook without actually studying it, it seems that senile oldsters are weak and it is the place of the weak to be devoured by the strong in order for the world to work as it should. Been reading Mein Kampf, have we? |

Your wallet file contains the priv key. If a target PC has been successfully compromised, an attacker will look for your wallet file on the hard drive, possibly with the use of scripted malware. If they find an un-encrypted wallet, they copy this file, access the wallet on their own system and move the coins (if any) to a different wallet.
Blockchain wallets are only as safe as the servers hosting them. Usually they are safer than a typical home user's PC.
The best storage is cold offline wallet. Backup methods vary, it is best to have multiple backups on paper printout, flash, optical or other media, or encrypted cloud storage.

Those numbers in the Wikipedia article are from February 2012, computing power has more than doubled since. By any reasonable measure Bitcoin is the largest distributed computing effort by far.
The biggest computing effort in human history: fueled entirely by greed. Most of the world spends 8-12 hours average a day working to get money so they can eat and have a better life for themselves and their families. Is that greed? Myself and many others mine bitcoin as supplemental income. I'm making a buck fifty a day mining. Is that greed? Am I greedy for wanting that buck fifty? If you want to talk about greed, see the banksters and monopoly men. JP Morgan. The Rockefellers. Donald Trump. Warren Buffet. Bill Gates. Those men fit your labeling much more closely. And I am sure they sneer at bitcoin (if they've heard of it). |

how could i possibly be risking jail time?
One of the nasty side-effects of stealing. you guys are really looking at this the wrong way... Its due to people like you that I get tons of shit in my physical mailbox because I wasn't careful who I left my mailing address with. Its due to people like me that you will be caught eventually, and will pay the price. |
