you simply copied and pasted that from the bitcoinmagazine's website, I found the link earlier.

Platinum is just a tick to rare to be used as a currency, and silver is not as corrosion resistant.
Also gold has only one stable isotope which is unique and it's high density makes it more difficult to fake.
Yes both silver and platinum are kind of undervalued but they just aren't as suited for use as currency as gold, that's why.
While now irrelevant the fact that gold has only one isotope will become very important, it is the only element which can be used as nanomoney without sorting them.
i know this guy prbly won't see this, but as a jeweler i have to point out silver is quite corrosion resistant. copper is not. sterling silver is a combination of the two,(92.5% silver, 7.5% copper as most common alloy) and the copper corrodes('tarnishes') fine silver does not corrode. fine silver is however a very soft metal, which is why it is generally alloyed with copper so it can be hardened. maybe not, but I did read this and appreciated your input, thank you  |

probably fine, it becomes an issue based on the number of transactions per address. I have an old phone with bitcoinj on it (shildenbach's wallet) It was getting ridiculous using the same address for mining payouts so I had to export it to another wallet to deal with it and changed addresses to deal with it (when selling coin in person).

Um, I'm reading this here, and I was enjoying it and then you took it back and threw your feelings of betrayal into that post which was annoying at best and very offputting at worse. I want more people to work with me to promote bitcoin at the grass-roots level and I'm hoping that HARO can HAFO (help a frankenmint out) Take your feelings of funk out of your articles, it's immature - just keep it restricted to that one thread that explains the story/saga of your banning from reddit, imho. For each additional article that refrences that event diminishes your professionalism, even if just slightly; calling someone a 'fucking hater', in every possible context, is MOST DEFINITELY NOT the right way to move forward in establishing your credibility as a reliable Bitcoin news source. I wrote that article. Really my addition of that paragraph me using this whole issue with Reddit as an example of how tough it can be to find cheap or free options for promoting a website that are actually effective. I have a feeling that we'll find alternatives that actually work, we'll all be a little smarter about handling it, and we'll all be happy again... For sure, admittedly, that was only the 2nd article I read and I was under the impression that it was a one man band which is why I said what I said. |

I'm seeing a lot of NOOB accounts spreading FUD. Must be a slow night or they've down a bit of vodka ....or I guess both.  This is why you keep newbie restrictions here, but well that is up to theymos.. Anyhow, making a new account to try (and fail) at spreading FUD is pointless. this is the LAST place that FUD works in. OP should have tried twitter first or possibly /r/buttcoin. |

I'm not sure what you mean by "alias", but a symbolic link is probably what you need. Close Bitcoin-Qt and Armory, move the blockchain folders wherever you want them, then run: ln -s <destdir> <sourcedir>
<destdir> is the directory you moved the files too, and <sourcedir> is the directory where they used to be and in which Bitcoin-Qt expects them (should be ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin). To regain the most space, you should link Bitcoin-Qt's "blocks" and "chainstate" directories, as the remaining files are miniscule and some are sensitive (wallet.dat). I don't know the specifics for Armory, but it's most likely very similar. armory installs and uses bitcoinQT running headless, at least that's what I have observed when using it. (a full bitcoin node is on my pc but I never intended to use it - I think armory adds layers of backup and usability to the core qt software, which is nice) |

Bitcoin is dead:
btc has no value, and it's bubble have busted.
more govs will ban it and people will forget it.
btc will go to hell
so you register an account to say this??? You know that people have been trying your trick since 2011 to FUD panic sellers into dumping coins on the cheap cheap. You obviously come from the school of thought that bitcoin is and will only be a speculative instrument for greedy people to get rich from when in fact it is the first tool of its kind designed to allow people to escape the financial constraints imposed by governments. In many many different cases it also acts as a substantial cost savings to the global remittances market - that market hasn't even used bitcoin in critical mass, and so, to put things quite frankly, the 'real' bubble hasn't even happened yet. Imagine what happens when big companies like western union start trying to 'buy up all the bitcoin' to dump it in efforts to crash it - streisand effect turned up to the maxx. |

Imagine you had a study group inside a starbucks and you paid someone on the street a quarter to go in and participate.
Then you get banned for life from starbucks Bullshit analogy. A better one would be if you went in and set up a coffey machine and started paying people to drink your coffee not theirs. You're just a fucking hater. Reddit is a company with a location online at reddit.com - they have many sub locations called subreddits people can create Starbucks is a company with many physical locations. They allow people to go in and use their internet and, I safely assume, to chat with other people if they so like. Paying someone a quarter to go inside the location of the business and take up some 'space', and engage in communication; what's the major difference here? Oh you didn't explain yourself. Your profile doesn't show a website of yours, and neither does your post history Here are my observations: This was not the decision of an /r/bitcoin moderator, it happened from the reddit admins. I think they were looking at their inbound analytics and your bitcointalk post got flagged for soliciting for paid posts. I'm sorry that happened. Also I've read that there is a hidden 10% rule that if your link submissions are more than 10% of a given website that you could face a potential banning. Consider posting your articles here on bitcointalk in the news section, I'm sure you'll get the same potential impressions of high quality traffic - you know, a snippet along with a bottom line and a question to open up discussion, that's what I would try anyway. I started seeing that overly posting my stuff to reddit was a no-go so I try to limit it to only occurrences where the discussion directly relates to an article I wrote in the past or a product that I happen to currently sell. If I were bitcointalk (or BanksWorstFear), I would wear it as a badge of honor. I am not bullshitting.
Reddit, in many ways, is a miscreation. Crowd-sourcing is great when you want to hear a pretty girl sing on TV. But it's really awful in any "social" network.
When I was in school, we were taught, "Majority rule, minority rights." Does reddit represent minority rights? I don't think so. "Majority rule, majority rights" ... Why? Because the majority itself upvoted it, naturally. Do minorities even have rights on reddit? (Obviously not.)
In my opinion, there is a "pearls before swine" aspect to reddit. I actually only found bitcointalk.org when I gave up on reddit completely because I just couldn't stand it anymore, and found myself brimming with indignation. I am much happier having left reddit.
I hope one day you will be too.
[I do not think it appropriate to ban anyone for any reason, ever. Of course they will say "oh, spam!" but that's just the majority putting labels on things again. One man's spam is another man's tofurkey. The same for "troll." If you really look at it, labeling someone a troll is an attempt to dehumanize them so that you can ban them without feeling bad. Goodwin's law aside, if you're to let majority rule WITHOUT minority rights, you're only separated by the Nazi's by 50 years and 5,000 miles.]
Are BTCcointalks threads banned from being shared as links on reddit submissions? |

On the face of it, I disagree that "the thread of salvation through the Messiah runs throughout the whole" of the Bible. I found that the Dead Sea Scrolls support my position:
The messiah, according to Jewish [and early Christian] belief, was not a God that would deliver his people by clearing their way to heaven. The messiah was to be an empowered King who would destroy the enemies of the Jews and regain their Holy Land.
Yet the Messiah was for everyone who believed. So how would an earthly kingship be available to those who had passed already? People want it now. So, they misinterpret a lot. The Revelation in the Bible sets it out rather plainly in some ways. The book of Hebrews is another that helps. St. Paul's writings suggest that we don't know what form we are going to take in Heaven. You know, you base everything off a book that was written when people knew squat about science. Don't you understand that? Your house is built on a foundation of cards. You know? The Bosnian pyramids show that the people of Atlantis knew a whole lot more about science than we give them credit for. And some of their knowledge was so different from ours that we are just beginning to relearn it. Doesn't change the point I just made. Everything you believe, and all your arguments, are based off a book that was written when people thought the sun raced across the sky on a chariot. Those wrong beliefs and ideals are the bible. I'd have more respect for you people if you had any kind of new evidence in the last 2,000 years.  You say "people" like you say "scientists." What I mean is, you can find loads of people who believe all different kinds of things, just like you can find many scientists who understand the same evidence in many different ways. How does that answers to the fact that you base your feelings off a 2000 years book? The guys back then would have thought the smartphone I'm writing this post on is godly if they have had any chance to see it. The book is not entirely 2000 years old. The first two chapters of in may go all the way back to the beginning, 6000 years ago. If not that far, then they were probably written by Abraham from the verbal tradition that had been passed down. In addition, the first 5 books go back 3500. And don't pick on the verbal tradition. Those guys had far better memory than we do. And if you say the earth is more than 6000 years old, we don't know that, because the whole time dimension was different before the Great Flood, and the electromagnetic spectrum acted differently, as well. Thought it was after Methuselah that God decided "okay im cool lets kill off these stupid humans" |

Aha. Thanks for reply. I don't suppose you're also in SE Queensland?
Nope. Ask TradeFortress. He has 4.1K BTC he can sell to you and he's in Australia. BURN  My opinion is that above $10K worth could be considered bulk. I would expect to give a discount if I sold 20BTC. I would also expect a better price buying that many. That's just me though. One thing about bitcoin, the price of your coins is whatever you say it is.
Welcome to my friends list I'll need to be sure to find you on mycellium local trader to buy from you the next time I want to buy 20 BTC. Hypothetically how much would you offer as a discount? half a percent? a whole percent off? Moar?  |

Ill buy it for 14 bitcoin right now  I raise by 2 btc - My bid is 16 |

does this benefit the miners?
no - bitcoin.org =/= mining pool so it benefits no one in the mining difficulty sense of things. it may muck up a new user who found this link from someone irl and want to discover btc but luckily there are places like here that can bring them up to speed. |

if you're looking to buy more than 100 BTC all at once, you could possibly get them from Bitpay??? (Idk what their minimum buy limit is but I have read and heard from Tony Gallippi that they do privately sell larger amounts of bitcoin to private parties who are interested)
I'm pretty sure that you will not be able to buy them with a discount because I could simply sell them in smaller increments at market rate if I wanted to get my money from them and often someone holding a substantial portion of bitcoin is worried about the risk of losing out on profit if the price rallies to a new all time high.

That's a cute guess. And guesses aren't bad things. But for your guesses to amount to knowledge, you have to devise an experiment and get a lot more concrete about things.
These guys are getting really concrete: http://www.iqpr.asia/en/technology/index.htmlThat link wasn't working in my browser. However, I also want to say that while: 1. I don't believe in any God and 2. I think that the canonical conceptualization of God is not relevant for science (ie, by definition God is unobservable, not natural, etc) I don't actually agree with Vod that we should expect science to explain everything. As far as I can tell, there should be plenty of things which are simply not relevant to scientific investigation. Oh yah, for those that are saying that the Bible is 2000 yrs old, I think that's a simplification. Some of the texts seem to go back at least 3000 years, and are probably dervied in part from other ancient texts (Gilgamesh, for example) others weren't written until hundreds of years after Christ's death. Then again, depending on how your philosophy handles linguistic translations and retranslations of those translations, you might say that the English Christian Bible was written as recently as a few hundred years ago. Paired with the fact that religious cannon is always selected to match the favor of the organized religion it supports, hence the book of enoch is not included in the bible. Like an ant on a balloon who only sees the balloon as a flat surface to walk on - we will always be limited in perspective through our nanosecond of history on the geological timescale and limits on interplanetary travel, how could we expect to know what to observe elsewhere. I think that if humans started seeing other planets and alien cultures, they would use those observations to adjust their own attitudes and perspectives on 'supernatural' and 'religion' |

My Activity is at 476, I'm excited.
So close yet so far. Is rank and tittle that important? Sort of...idk why but I carry a higher respect to the legendary and hero members who have higher quality comments (most of the time, there are certainly exceptions to that statement) |

How about those who paid in BTC?
Fucked quite possibly without any lube. This .... specifically with what Bitmain just mentioned on his own offerings. 1200 dollars spent on bitmain is the equivalent of 9500 dollars with alpha-t at a higher electricity footprint and probably guaranteed to be delivered. I paid in BTC - any others doing a class action who paid in bitcoin, pm me, i'll definitely participate. |

You just posted that to fill in a type of emotional void you are experiencing.
And That is an ad-hominem attack, anything else? Update: That guy was a total loon, and has been reincarnated as Giorgio A. Tsoukalos, seriously. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_F._Barrett) |

God exists - in your head only. People 'need' God or a type of 'relation to something greater' to fill in a type of emotional void they are experiencing - they do it to justify that 'their loved ones' aren't gone and that 'we must certainly see them again too when we die!', which is naive and gullible - your personality and traits are predetermined from your environment and your genetic material - ergo you come back every century or so, and for that matter you aren't completely YOU, you're just a reset consciousness that is turned back on through the process of meiosis  Stop attributing favorable events and circumstances of chance to being a miracle - cause you talking out loud to yourself while holding your hands to a multidimensional being really solves everything.... right??? concept of reincarnation is true concept of greater beings 'watching over us' without showing or giving any evidence of their own efforts toward self preservation is false Entrophy = wins Equilibrium = wins Thus, Omnipresence implies that God is simply all forms of matter and lack thereof Thus, Omnipotence implies that God cannot exist because then said God also has all knowledge of outcomes from not being present. I'd have more respect for you people if you had any kind of new evidence in the last 2,000 years. Supernatural is a term used to explain what the science still can not explain. Only closed minded people think science can explain everything and can not think outside the box.
Science can explain everything. Look at all that was unknown when god was first invented. Soon, science will explain everything. Mainstream scientific consensus is not powerful enough to explain the evidence for survival: Here is one example of high-quality evidence of the survival of the personality: Dr. James Hyslop, professor of Logic and Ethics at Columbia University, and one of the most distinguished American psychical researchers, reported the following incident.
[...]
As Sir Wiliam Barrett concluded in his review of the case: "The simplest and most reasonable solution is that the information was derived from the mind of the deceased person."
2 page PDF: http://www.aeces.info/Top40/Cases_51-75/case56_soule-soul.pdfIs mainstream science going to give us any information at all on this subject? I challenge you to explain the evidence using consensus theories. Without timely response, it is affirmed that empirical science CANNOT explain everything. Serendipitous results without a clearly defined experiment and control group - and this is based on the efforts of one guy, I mean he could have flubbed his findings to make his experiment seem bigger than it was (reality was inconclusive and he lied saying they were correlated) (I'm really going out on a limb with this guess as I didn't bother reading the PDF yet) Will give feedback on it soon. |
