Bitcoin is to currency what plutonium is to fuel. (this belongs in the one-liner thread)

I just bought 1200 coins that I needed for some various projects. Price was already climbing up to $3.20 by the time I was done
You were spot on this time. BTC is currently at $3.20 |

I managed to get namecoind to generate an address by redirecting the cmd "bitcoind.exe getnewaddress | clip" output to the clipboard. I am looking for documentation of the windows bitcoind syntax.
Just use 'bitcoind help' to get a list of commands. If thats what you meant. thanks |

Pardon my ignorance of NMC. Where do I get a NMC wallet?
This website is all about the new namecoin wallet. http://dot-bit.org/Main_PageIt has a list on the right hand side for different operating systems. Version 0.3.24.64 : Linux 32bits by Khal Linux 64bits by Khal Windows by twobits I wouldn't go for the earlier downloads, they had some flaws and most of the mining pools will support the new 3.24.64 distro. Once you get it installed look at this page http://dot-bit.org/InstallAndConfigureNamecoinIt has the same caching format as bitcoin, meaning it needs to get all of the blocks before it can payout. Then you add the namecoin address to your favorite mining pool.[/list] Yeah, I tried running the Windows version by twobits. I setup a config file as instructed, but namecoind doesn't seem to work. |

Keiser and Stacy offer a different perspective from mainstream vetted financial reporting. It is refreshing to hear him say what I am usually thinking. |

It’s a payment method for fiat money. A USD proxy. Nothing more, currently.
I added the emphasis  |

I am using guiminer on win7 so I don't think I can use Namecoin at the moment. I created some NMC addresses at bitparking for now and set the payout threshold on slush high. I don't like using online wallets like this, but until I can figure out how to run namecoind.exe on win7, this should suffice. |

I'm a liberal. I'm also a sociopath. Not caring for people doesn't mean that they shouldn't be cared for, i recognise intelectualy that people need to eat. I don't want to feed them. I pay taxes so people who care can make it their job to feed (or cure, or educate) these people.
Based on your contradictory statements, you seem to be more confused than anything. Just keep paying taxes and let the grownups take care of the sick, young, and hungry. |

Excuse me if i am wrong but it seems to me extremely unwise to opt out of NMC mining since even if you do, your hash rate is still used to generate NMC so you basically giving your NMC away. It is not that hard to run a namecoind (in a virtual machine if you don't trust the namecoind builds) once to create a wallet to receive the NMC.
You can just put the nmc wallet near your bitcoin wallet backup and forget about it, and one day you can exchange a large bunch of namecoins for bitcoins for some extra income.

So when you call people sociopaths just because they *gasp* think differently, it doesn't really help at all.
Actually, they can be pointed out with a brain scan with a very high reliability. No opinion necessary. |

And they would certainly be some good people who would be happy to provide free education, just by generosity.
Wishful thinking. |

Why would anyone trust a $3000 transaction with anyone they don't know? That's an expensive life lesson.

Sure, but this is even more a reason to privatize education. If you accept that private companies are in charge of your safety in a plane, why wouldn't you accept that private companies are in charge of your education?
I am not accepting private companies in charge of safety. Many airlines have closed because of safety failures and they are all racing to the bottom. A bad education is a terrible thing in life, but unlike flight transportation, it won't kill you. Also, as you said yourself, most libertarians are poorly educated. So I guess they are a living proof that public education is terrible anyway. I don't see why private education could not do better.
Sociopaths (libertarians) are not necessarily the result of the education system. There are systemic problems in all regulatory areas that privatization has infected. Mental health and healthcare in general are also to blame, among others. |

If you can't dazzle them with intellect, baffle them with bullshit. There is good money in pseudosciences like astrology, NLP, this nonsense. I'm not saying they are not useful, they are simply a crutch like any other religion. Instead of following pop psych, simply learn all you can and discover your own philosophy of life.

The problem with most libertards is that they want to dismantle things like publicly funded education which makes no sense to sane people.
Please tell us why exactly. Education is important, sure, but I don't see why it means that it should be publicly founded. Being able to eat is important just as well, and yet nobody would seriously consider to socialize all the food industry. The food you eat must be government regulated or the risk to your health and life goes way up by eating it. The airplane you fly, the car you drive, etc. must all have government regulation for safety. While I believe that education must adapt to the new information age paradigm, there still needs to be societal (i.e. governmental) regulation. Public education is not just regulated, it is organized and founded with taxation. The regulated industries you are talking about are NOT publicly founded. Most of them are privately owned. They offer a service and customers pay for it. At most, State intervenes to impose some safety and quality standards. Why should it be different with education ??!!! Moreover, I don't see why we need state to organize a regulation system. This could be done by a private company. Or better: by several, competing regulation companies. Yeah, I sometimes get a little US centric when talking about politics. In the USA we have the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate food, Department of Transportation (DOT) to regulate roadways and vehicles, and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to regulate the skyways, and of course many more. Private companies can self regulate, but they will factor in acceptable death rates to how much it would cost to change their business practices. If the rates of deaths get too high, there is still no accountability and they will simply reorganize and outsource for plausible deniability. All corporations are in a race-to-the-bottom line. There needs to be an independent authority with regulatory powers to maintain safety. |

A dollar is stable, still a dollar today, still a dollar tomorrow, prices of products change, but not the dollar.

I am guessing the decentralised nature of the exchange is with regards to the bids and asks alone, but as for the actual trade, that would probably be out of scope and dependant on the trust between the individuals on a trade.
I haven't installed or read the software, but it's how it works as far as I can tell. Nevertheless, a decentralised database for, essentially storing the price of Bitcoin is crucial.
I didn't thought about this in this way. Thank you. This sentence has really helped me. I wrote this in another thread earlier today. It's not like we need a full exchange that reports the volume of transactions. All we need is a general idea of the price bitcoin is being traded at. - An Exchange Coin is created. The coins generated from it include pricing of all included crypto-currencies. More can be added if everyone agrees.
- Each coin client (including bitcoin) allows a price value in various fiat currencies to be reported to Exchange Coin.
- The Exchange Coin factors in the reported prices and runs a statistics algorithm that finds the current mean values.
- HST and bot trades could be filtered out statistically.
This would be organic and require trust of not a central reporting authority, but of all bitcoin users to volunteer honest reporting. |

Core Beliefs of a Libertarian
Maximal personal liberty
The libertarian believes that the government that governs least, governs best. He believes in maximum personal liberty and minimum government coercion and intrusion in the everyday lives of citizens. The libertarian believes in small government, especially at the federal level, and not getting involved in foreign entanglements. He believes in personal autonomy, both social and economic.
I have also heard this useful description: A libertarian is more liberal than a Liberal on matters of personal liberty, and he is more conservative than a Conservative on matters of economic autonomy.
A constitutional government of, by, and for the people is necessary. Being more conservative than a Conservative on matters of economic autonomy makes them extremists. The problem with most libertards is that they want to dismantle things like publicly funded education which makes no sense to sane people. Libertarians that just want to get laid and smoke pot are one thing, but might-makes-right neocon teabaggers are just plain nuts. |

namecoind has a separate wallet from bitcoind. Make sure to not confuse BTC address with NMC, or you will lose your money.
