Yeah, try not to sound like a sexist piece of shit you ass.
Only on The Official Unofficial Bitcoin Forums, do people call out people for being "sexist" the second the acknowledge someone's sex. I have to break this down to make sure I am confused. " Sit back down little girl, and let the man speak. "I have read and read this again and again, you can replace the word "girl" with ANYTHING, and it doesn't change the meaning of what is being said, if anything, it may possibly make what is said more insulting if the term "little girl" wasn't used, but instead an actual derogatory term. Or maybe that is it, you find that being a little girl is derogatory? Thus that is the insult itself? castlegoat, are you a sexist? |

Buttcoin's are real
I have seen their true face
Encyclopedia Dramatica, search for Bitcoin, but make sure to view that page with your eyes closed :x
On a very real note, I am kind of saddened that Freemasons managed to find their way into power positions over at SA. It's not the level of Scientology getting their grubby hands in a position of 'power', but honestly not great either (I obviously speak from an ignorant standpoint on the rich man's club/cult).

Maybe you are already too invested?
Imaging thousands and thousands people owning solidcoins. And now someone uses one of those bugs/shortcomings in solidcoin to make those all vanish. The public scream and media reporting would not only destroy solidcoin, it will destroy confidence in p2p currency (and hence bitcoin) for a few years. You know, journalists and the general public see no difference between solidcoin and bitcoin.
I am not highly invested at all, I own under 30SC so far, that is nothing. No where near what I have in Bitcoin (USD value wise), but not sure why you would ask about my personal investments when we are talking about the community :/ Confidence in P2P currency is already dead, the people using it are only nerds, the general public have made their mind up, it is just the smarter writers that see through the bullshit and keep on pressing on finding ways to keep Bitcoin in the news but not in a negative way. Sadly the smart writers only pop out something once a month while the negative ones are on Bitcoin weekly pointing out the flaws. Either way, you are just making prophecies to fulfill them as far as I can tell still. You rants about community whatever are bullshit so far. "Maybe you are already too invested" in Bitcoin?  |

The age of a Bitcoin user is truly seen when they question the greatness that is Something Awful.
I haven't checked the SA/Bitcoin threads in a while, do the goons hate just these forums or all of Bitcoin users?
I can see arguments for both sides.
I would support Buttcoin over all other digital currencies if someone makes a good working network, I will sing the Buttcoin praises just to bring a fresh new set of both user base and developers.

a) Just look at this issue that ArtForz brought up. b) It seems that coinhunter develops everything "in house". doublec updates the git repo afterwards. so in essence coinhunter can code in whatever he thinks, which in the best case leads to things like (a). having the coding centralized in one single developer, I have to say I rather trust paypal. c) bitcoin works like this: code -> test -> fix -> test -> release. solidcoin: take bitcoin test version -> release -> daily mandatory bugfix d) think about the implications if solidcoin would make it to the average joe, and only then "we" (or some black hat Vladimir  ) exploits all those bugs: it could destroy bitcoin as a collateral on its way down, as average joe/media does not see any differences between Bitcoin and solidcoin. I am pretty sure one could add a lot more points to this list how those half-backed "improvements" could eventually affect the bitcoin community in a bad way. I understand the negativity regarding how the program updates, I don't care for the system you just laid out if that is how it is specifically (which I see doublec already has corrected one part of what you wrote). I am still confused about how all the things regarding a currency that isn't Bitcoin would effect the Bitcoin community in a good or bad way? "Act fast, think little, care not" it seems to be the way programmers treat each other now. SolidCoin could have avoided a lot of this with better PR, the negative attack on Bitcoin has drawn these stupid users to hate on it's flaws and handle them like every other kid on the internet handles bad programming, exploit it. I still like the ShitCoins, and even after all those points I am not sure their threat to the community. |

I applaud the developers for remaining largely clear of the fray and still focusing on the big picture of what is important about bitcoin.
I wonder how long it can last, the technology vs the soap operas. |

Maybe I would do it. It would be for my profit and for the greater good of the community.
Please explain the greater good part. Full disclosure, I like SolidCoins, I like Bitcoins, but if I am missing something about SolidCoin in an overall scheme of things, I am not catching it. |

Oh geez, don't make this thread like that one guys.
If you are going to fuck up SolidCoin, ShitCoin or whatever, just do it and don't whine all over the message boards how flawed the world is and etc. Just break it already and then go outside and fly a kite, you can't honestly be happy in life with yourselves.

Please stop bumping / spamming your thread, thanks.

I think SolidCoin could survive such a theoretical attack! There is no way in hell a huge great competitor to Bitcoin could fall prey to some lame brain scheme concocted in some random thread on some unofficial Bitcoin forum. Prove me wrong guys, prove me wrong |

Make it a top 20 and throw some Google Ads on that thing for yourself, you deserve it. Nice job, slick and simple.

As noted, I've done my research. Some of it, at least. What I found isn't promising. I'm willing to stake a bet between us. What is the currency exchange rate? Based on the rate today, in six months you buy me $50 worth of Bitcoins (on today's exchange rate) and I'll buy you $50 worth of Solidcoins (also in today's exchange rate). You can buy those coins at any point along those six months, if you don't aleady have them.
Do it do it do it! I like SolidCoin, but that seems like a decent gamble and good fun. |

Freemarket and abuse of not well put together systems, there are no scams here. I wouldn't think this is the activity that will get you into heaven either, but not a scam.

I would like the final twist of all this is Bruce Wagner is in fact Atlas. Some may remember they were on a podcast at the same time before, but it was a silhouette I think.
Amazingly sad stuff, faith in Bitcoin drops not based on the technology at all, but the user base, it is sad. What sucks more is I don't know how much could have been done to prevent being scammed in such a huge way.

Like the video format wars, this may well get decided by which format sees widespread adoption by the porn industry first. I am honestly currently down with Solidcoin. The only alternative currency to Bitcoin I like. No namecoin, ixcoin, etccoin. Not giving up on Bitcoin, but that is only because I have more invested monetarily, but I am considering changing. |

Vlad, I hope you have had some SEO's on top of hitting your forums for the keyword "Bitcoin Forums" Also, I think this page https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Forum should be edited to reflect changes in having a page with the word "The" and "Bitcoin Forum" .. maybe now "The First Bitcoin Forum" |
