It would be nice to have a confirmation that the info has been sent to priate.

I for one waive all privacy issues and am ok with my account info beeing passed on.

^This; me too.

I hope pay.btc is busy exporting user data at this very moment, and is thus too busy to post here.

Now that Pirate's defaulted we'll get to see if Matthew is honest or a scammer.

Yes, it will be fun to watch this play out.

Nice work.  The BTC sign should have two lines like this one:BTC.  One line means fake fiat BS, two lines means backed by intrinsic real value.

Hi DrHaribo!

How is the Bitminter Java client affected by this zero-day bug?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104164.0;topicseen

Can I use an older version of Java to avoid it, without taking a performance hit?

Scientologists for Ron Paul?

That doesn't make sense, unless they are trying to better know their enemy.

Anon is Doctor Paul's army's (most well known, high-profile) cyberwar division.

Leave Jered alone!

There is a very good reason he is incommunicado.  His lawyer told him to STFU until the Dwolla lawsuit has run its course.

TradeHill didn't steal your precious internet nerd tokens, Dwolla did.

Please direct your bitching at Dwolla, the real culprit, and stop piling on a dude who ran a very good exchange until TradeHill (and thus its users) got screwed by Dwolla.

Goat, thanks for the irc dump.  I'm sorry you invested more than you could afford to lose.  Here's my take.

Pirate will pay back the coins I have in BTCMax with interest up to the last hour, as promised.

Bitchlane however, will be the last to see a single Satoshi.

The drama, chaos, and mutual recriminations will continue.  But...

Things will become even more dramatic, more chaotic, and more acrimonious.

God I'm loving the Bitcoin season finale.  

This shit is better than Breaking Bad.  And almost as good as Game of Thrones.   Grin

Spoiler: Zhong kills pirate, who is actually Jered.

Good choice BTCHero.  I love my 5oz Taku and have many other favorites.

Coinabul, thanks for starting the contest and this fun coinporn thread.

My absolute favorite favorite is the 1907 High Relief Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle.  Nice, isn't she?   Wink

If I were the betting kind, I'd bet the first bank to offer BTC accounts will be a Swiss one  Cheesy

The Swiss have caved to the Eurocrat money Nazis.  They grassed on their US customers.  Farking snitches should get stitches.

Their 900 year tradition of neutrality, privacy, and financial competence is dead.  It just hasn't stopped moving yet, due to inertia.

The first bank to offer BTC interoperability will be in the middle east (Dubai, Israel), Russia (God bless crazy Ivan), or SE Asia (Singapore).

Thanks for putting up .999 at spot, with reasonable shipping to boot.  Much appreciated.   Cool

I just bought a bunch of silver and a Touchpad (W00T!) so I'm BTCROKE atm, but will be back in a couple of days for an oz or three!

In France there are 8 days in a week.  They added Thuesday so their weekends could be 4 days long (Thue-Sun).

9993  Economy / Economics / Re: Why does Bitcoin subsidize saving? on: August 25, 2012, 08:09:40 PM
Isn't currency better spent than saved and hoarded?
No, this is a misconception that comes from the broken window fallacy.

Consumption is not good. If you purely consume something, it's no better than if you destroyed it. It's lost. If consumption was good, then someone who went around breaking windows would stimulate the economy because people would have to buy windows to replace the broken ones.

It is *production* that builds an economy. Production should be rewarded.

When you save money, you produce but do not consume. That's great. You deposit but do not withdraw, loaning everyone else use of the benefits of your labor. Deferred consumption should be rewarded as it's a form of investment.


With a sensible monetary system, saving is a form of investing. Deflation is interest on invested productivity.

Knowledge and wisdom!  Jr Member is extremely lucky to have such an erudite, learned Economics 101 tutor. 

It's a pleasure watching you gently correct and educate the board's Keynesians and Marxists.  Under your guidance, they'll come around.

"I tried once to install the software. It took forever and didn't do anything," says Robert Hughes, a senior vice president with the consulting firm Speer & Associates who's been studying Bitcoin.

I gotta say this cracked me up ... I wonder if he is representative of the intellect of your average Vice-President?

If I was his boss he would not be working for me much longer. Technology moves on and some people will not make the grade ... one of the good things about bitcoin is it raises the bar substantially on raw intellect and competence to remain competitive.

Probably does not even realize how bad the PR is for his firm from a comment like that ....

Many (impatient) people have the same complaint.

Reece, instead of continuing to be boorish and spouting more tedious, unamusing rhetoric, can you explain why you think regulation would help propel bitcoin into the mainstream?

Even better, why not take us back on topic via the high road of explaining how regulation would prevent our favorite sources of drama/rage/titillation/lulz, such as goxed/bitcoinica/pirate from becoming issues?

Do you want Instawallet, MtGox, BTC-E, Silk Road, or even TOR, shut down because they are unregulated?

I've put out my position, stating that the invisible hand of the free market shall provide all necessary guidance.

Why not respond to the crux of the matter, instead of dancing around rambling pompously about all the things you don't believe I understand?

You seem unwilling or unable to do that.  My guess being the latter. 

Again, good luck with your centrally planned and carefully regulated fantasy version of bitcoin.  You'll need plenty.  Such a silly little pony!   Roll Eyes

Le Durr, Bitcoin is magical internet money.  It flows through the tubes under the control of a pirate who lives on the moon.  Le Hurr.

LOL, it's cute when the Money Nazis at Tracfin try to understand new concepts.

The Rothchilds are too cheap to hire people with a brain to do their dirty work of kneecapping anything/anyone that threatens the established bankster industry's monopoly on financial transactions.  Therefore, lulz.
