Mostly it is because the only coin worth anything in real life is Bitcoin, and so people will only trade USD for Bitcoins.

Looking at the rules for the newbie section, I do not see where it says you cannot post alt-coin related stuff there. Can you point out the rule?

Do you have a source for this? What do you consider a "large trrader"? I see one guy near me who is offering to exchange $10000 cash for bitcoins or bitcoins for cash, does that count as a large trader?

Aha, so the Gold God lives in the heavens! Therefore, God is up.

Now that that is settled, we can go back to talking about how gold is down vs bitcoins today?

I thought it was the Chinese trying to get bitcoins? So maybe they should start selling off parts of China to get the bitcoins?

Depends on which god you worship. I imagine the Gold God would always be down in the earth making more gold?

The government solution to equality: Create a society where nobody has anything, and then there will be no rich and nobody will feel poor.

Having a society with no rich and no poor cannot be forced by government. It will only be done by a community where everybody chooses to live that way, where the people who produce willingly support those who do not. In a family where everybody shares the income of one man, you would not say that the father is wealthy and the son is poor, they are equal.

I also reject the notion that you can control society by the tax code. Taxes should be there to fund the legitimate functions of the government, not to tell people how to live. And, try as hard as you want, people will exploit the tax code and/or find ways to work around it. A simple tax is a better tax, because it leaves less loopholes for the rich and well-connected.

Namecoin acts as a domain name registration.

I have not researched them all, but there are some (at least one, I assume there are more) which do not reduce the mining reward over time. Ripples do not have mining at all (call it 100% premine if you want).


As far as I know, there is no official pronunciation, I just find dodgy to be the most descriptive. "Doughe" - I don't even know how to say that, there is no English equivalent. Are you trying to say "Dough-y" like "doe-ee", or maybe to rhyme with rough or cough or slough (either of the two different ways of pronouncing it) or though or through or bough? Or are you trying to say like rouge or rogue? I guess the 'e' could be silent and you could just pronounce it like dodge, or you could pronounce it doggy, they do use a dog in the symbol?

Yeah, I know that. But I still have to click on the numbers for the pages that come after that. What I want is another link next to the "new" button that is something like "all new", where it starts on that post and keeps going without any page breaks until the end of the thread.

And before somebody says "wait until it peaks, then sell them all", these things can drop off rather quickly. If there is a flaw found in the software or even if somebody decides to cash out a large amount the price could drop precipitously. Or it might just start sliding as the hype wears out, and if you keep hoping it will go back up a bit you will be left holding the bag.

Maybe it would be possible to make a page that starts at the first unread post and includes all the unread posts in the thread?

It is not really a scam any more than any of the other altcoins. Ask yourself, why would anybody buy some dodgy-coins instead of feathercoins or peercoins or ixcoins or heffercoins or ripples or sexcoins or cattcoins or litecoins or bitcoins? What does it bring new to the table? If there are problems that show up in the software, do you trust the developers to fix them?

You mined them for free you say, why would anybody pay you $800 dollars for them? I call bubble. You should sell them now before their price drops as people realize how easy they are to get and how massively many there are.

make sure you pronounce it the correct way to get the full effect of what this really is: "dodgy-coin". Why don't they just call it "ScamCoin257" and be honest?

There just has to be a way for btc to enter into the economy from outside the country. There are some services which people can do over the internet, those could be paid for in bitcoins (programming, translation, sexchat), the people who earn bitcoins in such a way can then trade face to face with the other people.

Dead cat bounce?

I remember just a couple months ago when the silk road siezure news hit the price dropped, I tried to get some money in to buy bitcoins and by the time my money got to the exchange the price was already above where it was before the news.

And you can trade weed for bitcoins. Voila, bitcoin ban is circumvented.

If you want to send money to somebody outside the US, Dwolla will not help you (they are only for US based people), so you transfer money to dwolla, trade that for bitcoins, then send the bitcoins wherever you want to send them. The person who sold you the bitcoins can then transfer the money from Dwolla to their bank account, Dwolla does not know you traded bitcoins.

Which way should such event push the price? On the one hand we find out that the government is lying about their gold holdings, so what can we trust about gold? On the other hand, it appears the government has to buy up some huge amount of physical gold to give to the Germans, so that should raise the price, right?
