No trolling.

I just want Bitcoin safe and secure.

It's going to be a great day for Bitcoin through a foundation of sorts.

Can we possibly have a visual marketplace of what transaction fees are available with their respective computing power?

I understand. I apologize for my butthurt. I just don't like seeing people getting disrespect without being proven guilty of something. 

I'll admit I feel threatened because I am new here and I don't like the stigma attached to it.

As for GLBSE in its early days, I feel the buyers of scammer, junk stocks knew what they were getting into.

What you guys want is everybody to be in line and every financial opportunity guaranteed. That can't happen in a free society.

Here's my final word on this: Why does it bother you guys so much if somebody is soliciting capital for a project and their price for investment includes privacy? Aren't most investors under Caveat Emptor from the beginning?

I just don't think it's fair that you guys think you can set the standard for how everybody does business. Government ID isn't the end-all and be-all of reputation. Everybody has their standards and they don't have to be yours. I think we should treat people as the intelligent beings they are. If they are dumb enough to go bust here, then they will eventually learn to stop going bust. I don't think we need everyone playing Mommy and Daddy here. We're grown men.

Deal with what? I don't need you guys.  

I make gentlemen's agreements all the time without having to go through a strip search.

I think the lesson here is not to short-term trade against a machine. Go medium to long-term. I've yet to see my portfolio hurt by computers with that strategy. 

Depends on your country. My point is you guys take yourselves too seriously. Relax.

This needs some work.

You guys are going to see a huge influx of new members in the coming months and they are going to outnumber the Bitcoin veterans 10:1. You won't be able to demand they prove themselves then.

They'll do casual business with each other without your help or approval.

Do you really think all Bitcoiners go on this forum? 

"The whole affair started in March when hackers skimmed over 46 000 BTC from the exchange with an attack aimed at the Webhost, Linode. Three months later, Bitcoinica Consultancy, which has supposedly been handling the exchange since this April, announced that it lost another 4 ,000 BTC (about $350 at the time) through an unauthorized withdrawal from a Mt. Gox account that the company had set up while disbursing refunds to its customers."

Namecoin isn't technically a currency. It's a naming system. Anything below that?

Besides Solidcoin.

27 years is the lifespan of an average fiat currency, most not backed by Gold or Silver in their inception. The US Dollar left all precious metal backing around 40 years ago. Why is it still alive? It's hard to break a century-or-so old trust. However with US bank accounts recently losing all FDIC insurance in lieu of the European bailouts, it seems we have reached the end.

People usually reach for precious metals such as Gold and Silver during these times but we live in a digital world with digital monetary transfers. Precious metals won't serve us well in a digital world.

Luckily we have Bitcoin to combine the best of the precious metal and digital worlds.

Happy days ahead. For us at least.
