Hoping by the time bitcoin hits the mainstream in a year or so, it should be at least $10K if not more. Keep trying to convince my friends of investing in btc but a lot of them still don't understand it  |

Just as a curiosity why won't Israel just let the Palestine trade normally with other countries Besides the need of occupation and what not Hama's one demand seems fairly reasonable. End the Gaza Blockade http://metronews.ca/news/world/1102661/hamas-leader-demands-end-to-gaza-blockade/“We cannot go back, we cannot go back to the silent death” of the blockade, he said. “Gaza has decided to end the blockade by its blood and by its courage.” Israel allows many consumer goods into Gaza, but experts say Gaza’s economy cannot recover without a resumption of exports. To me it sounds like a silent death, death by economic if not by military means. Because they don't trade normally. The reason the Israeli blockade even started was because they used to import a lot of rockets and various other weapons that they would later shot towards Israeli civilians - a basic question you didn't even ask. The Egyptians also got their border with gaza closed for a good reason (they used to send terrorists into Egypt - and still do). More so, Israel allows for goods to go into gaza so long as they inspect it, which hardly sounds like a silent death. Instead of using the hundred of millions of dollars they are getting annually from various countries (and that's more than enough to sustain their people with 0 actual economy) to build a better life for their citizens, they use it to build tunnels that go into Israel, build rockets and create hideout for their weapons. Yeah, totally reasonable. But the question was on exports of goods and services to other countries I can't see a reason why Israel could not just inspect the goods and services leaving the Palestine to other countries. You just mentioned that they are able to monitor the imports of goods and services into Palestine but if someone wants to export something then they cannot? My question is on the exporting of goods not the importing of goods from Palestine. The illegal blockade of Gaza is nothing but a severe form of economical and cultural punishment for the Palestinians living there. This is a list (copypasted from Wikipedia) of goods banned or previously banned from Gaza. Can't really see how instruments and crayons could pose a threat to the largest military power in the Middle East  Food. According to a UN report, importation of lentils, pasta, tomato paste and juice has been restricted.[15] Pasta has since been allowed. Sugar has always been allowed.[14] Soda, juice, jam, spices, shaving cream, potato chips, cookies and candy are now permitted.[16] Fruit, milk products in small packages and frozen food products are also allowed.[14] Dry food,[17] ginger and chocolate were at one point barred.[18]
Household items. A4 paper,[18] crayons, stationary, soccer balls, and musical instruments have been, at times, banned for import.[17] According to AFP other banned goods include toilet paper,[4] though the BBC lists it as permitted.[3] According to the Haaretz the following items were banned in 2009: books, candles, crayons, clothing, cups, cutlery, crockery, electric appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, glasses, light bulbs, matches, musical instruments, needles, sheets, blankets, shoes, mattresses, spare machine and car parts, and threads.[14]
Reconstruction materials: Amnesty International and other organisations report that cement, glass, steel, bitumen, wood, paint, doors, plastic pipes, metal pipes, metal reinforcement rods, aggregate, generators, high voltage cables and wooden telegraph poles are high priority reconstruction materials currently with no or highly limited entry into Gaza through official crossings.[19] A UN report by Kevin M. Cahill said reconstruction was halted because of lack of steel, cement or glass, among other building materials.[15]
Fuel. Fuel had not been imported from Israel since 2008. While fuel is available from Egypt, in contrast to Israeli fuel, it damages the newer cars in Gaza and causes malfunctions. Israel allowed only limited amounts of industrial fuel into Gaza prior to June 2010.[14]
Agriculture and fishing. According to Gisha, fishing ropes and rods, ginger and chocolate, hatcheries and spare parts for hatcheries, were at one point barred.[18]
Medical material. Batteries for hearing aids have been restricted.[15] Wheelchairs, at various times, have been banned.[17]
According to the Haaretz, the number of items allowed into Gaza, as of May 2010, is about 100. Before the blockade, some 4,000 items were allowed. Gisha states that a large Israeli supermarket holds 10,000-15,000 items.[16] |

I'm not sure how the US expected to bring the concept of democracy (1 person = 1 vote) to a land where women apparently are not considered humans but more like livestock.
Oh I'm sorry, did my 10 year old dog daughter interfere with your life, I'll it put down immediately.
It's one thing to be culturally sensitive and not push "western" ideals onto another culture, it's another thing to look away while an innocent 10 year old child had to endure rape and them may feel even more pain thinking minutes before she dies that she shamed her family.
Maybe it's a father in me talking, but personally I would have taken the mullah to the back of my house, beaten him silly and let my dogs have dinner. Guess I'm a westerner.
Quality of life for Afghan women has got worse since the invasion. All of this Western blubbering about bringing democracy to the Middle East is a complete sham. A lot of the same tribal leaders who brutalized women in the past are still in power. |

Would choose Electrum for it's quickness and simplicity, not having to download the entire blockchain is a huge bonus. Ideally if you're storing a substantial amount of btc I would use Bitcoin Core or Armory

Wouldn't be surprising, always thought this entire ISIS episode seemed a bit too manufactured. Expect the oil corporations are worried about their profit margins, wouldn't put it past them to 'create' a new crisis in Iraq that requires US intervention. Hell I'm still waiting for them to find Iraq's WMD's  |

Would avoid Dell, they like adding backdoors for the NSA  http://rt.com/usa/dell-appelbaum-30c3-apology-027/ “Why did Dell leave a JTAG debugging interface on these servers?” asked Appelbaum. “Because it’s like leaving a vulnerability in. Is that a bugdoor, or a backdoor or just a mistake? Well hopefully they will change these things or at least make it so that if you were to see this, you would know that you have some problems. Hopefully Dell will release some information about how to mitigate this advance persistent threat.” |

Yeah there are lots of scum out there, I check out the scam accusation thread fairly often to get a heads up on the latest scams.
Trading with newbies - no escrow is asking for trouble.

Mining btc with USB's is great for a hobby but it makes no financial sense when you can earn more just posting on here with a sig campaign.
Could be more profitable to mine an alt currency, just try and avoid the plethora of shitcoins.

Yeah fuck ebay, I closed my account with them recently. Problem is there's no real competitors so they've got a monopoly over other auction sites. Used to like Bitmit back in the day, still hoping for a decent crypto auction site.

Obama had been relentless in targetting whistleblowers, especially considering he campaigned on having an open transparent government.
Snowden tried to go through the official channels several times but was stonewalled by his superiors. These internal 'whistle-blowing' programs aren't worth the paper they're written on.

I can send and receive bitcoin without having to give all of my personal information to some financial institution or third party. Being able to send btc globally without incurring huge fees is also a huge bonus.

Why would they use bitcoin when they can easily launder USD though financial cartels like HSBC?
Think this non-story has already been given too much airtime, wish Coindesk would stop publishing sensationalist drivel, soon they'll be the crypto equivalent of Fox News.

Hmm think this is just scaremongering, really cant see them emitting that much radiation. If you are that worried you could just stick the asic out in your garage.

Hardware is a decent scifi movie (though a little bit cheesy), especially if you like the Fallout RPG.
