Indeed and thank you.

Got some American Silver Eagles from Current-C today.  Fast shipping w/ tracking #.  Very smooth transaction.  Thank you. +1

I'm sure you know that I was being sarcastic.

That's all fair enough.  The only assertion I would make is that there is vocal, absolutist anti-vaccine movement that spreads hysteria and misinformation.  We could do without these people's input, really.  If you want to question what you're paying money to inject into your child's body, I'd say you're entitled to that.  But when the rhetoric gets to levels such as Jenny McCarthy and Adam Curry take it, encouraging parents to not vaccinate their children against dangerous, highly communicable childhood diseases, I think it's any thinking person's duty to speak up and say no, that's not right.  Not to mention that their rhetoric fogs out any truly rational discussion about the issue, such as whether 8-year-olds ought to be required to have an HPV vaccination.

Oh, also, I've always had this hunch that the anti-vaccine movement and global-warming denialism were part of the global banking elite's world population control program.   Crazy weather and widespread epidemics could kill off a nice percentage of the little people while the multibillionaires sip human growth hormone in their air-conditioned bunkers.

Come on sheeple, wake up.

 

"Statistically and effectively eradicating" a disease is a long way from making it extinct.  Rubella, pertussis, mumps etc. are more than "moderately" dangerous.  The vaccines for these diseases are less than "moderately" dangerous. 

Vaccines are a miracle of human ingenuity.  The Unibomber was a terrorist.  Can't we all just get along?

Steve Forbes is kind of a nutball. 

Looks good.  Easy to use.

I'm not inclined to have an opinion on any of those questions you mention.  I can see pros and cons for all of it.  Gets me thinking, though.  Will post if I have a thought that might be useful.

very nice

Too much neutral space around "we accept bitcoin."

And I agree that the colors could be better.

And also you could knock the "www" off the url, plus remove some of those tech names, or break them up into two lines.  That's a busy block of text.  To hard to read at 85 mph.

Someone could add these up and post a running total somewhere...  just hypothetically speaking.

Nicely done.  Pleasant fair and friendly transaction.  Hope I can do it again.  (Love the person-to-person way of doing business too.) +1

I think a stickied self-intro thread in the discussions section would be good.

Good idea.

Oh, no.  I for one am not converted.  I have bitcoins that I paid good US cash for, but I'm not entirely convinced that this thing, in this form, will necessarily settle in as a real and permanent currency.  The guy said in his blog post something about "where's your peer reviewed study."  Well, this is the peer reviewed study.  We're doing it right now. 

The weird thing about the bitcoin naysayers that I've read so far is that they seem to think they have to come down on one side or the other... well at least a few of them seem to.  It's like they need to be the Smart Guy, or the one who "told ya so" instead of just thoughtful, or curious.  You don't have to be a true believer to be involved with Bitcoin.  You just have to be willing to take a risk.   

It's true, what ploum said.  Calling people crazy and stupid on this topic is just a knuckle-headed way to go about making your point.  The guy has some good thoughts buried in his blog post, but his aggressively condescending tone suggests that maybe he's unsure about his position and needs to bluster to cover that up.

Further, there's no need to communicate with this guy, or to rebut him directly. He's dug in.  Someone who makes their case in such absolute terms is not likely to change their mind even in the face of logic or evidence.  So screw 'im.

Just read this.  Would be interested in reading anyone's response/rebuttal.  (Though the guy is kind of a dick in his manner, his reasoning isn't entirely unsound.)

Thank you.  This is a good project for me to improve my Perl & PHP skills so there'll be more to come. 

I PMd you, but forgot to click "save to outbox" so I have no evidence that I didn't hallucinate the whole message... 

Fixed it.  Rounding to 4th place now.  Formatting still isn't optimal, though.

Also, I forgot to mention that I had the idea of moving this output to its own Twitter page.  If there's enough interest I can do that in the coming weeks.
