From a priest:

"I don't think hell exists... It's part of a control tactic..."

"The church doesn't like the people to grow up because you can't control grown-ups. That's why we talk about being 'born again': When you are born-again, you are still a child. People don't need to be born-again. They need to grow-up; they need to accept responsibility for themselves and the world."

I haven't heard more truth from a title that usually evokes lies.

Every part of the Constitution stands under its bretheren. The Federal government acted out of its allotted powers in every significant action taken in the Civil War. The actions made by the Lincoln Administration were the most unconstitutional in history. The state's powers are not limited under the constitution despite out-of-line court precedents. Only the federal government is limited by it. That's how it was authored. That is the intent of its message.

The state's are supposed to be sovereign entities.

Slavery in the sense of compromising the sovereignty of all the individual states. A centralized state is only a single point of failure. There's nothing perfect about it.

Stage 0: Trading Bitcoin as a commodity. Speculation will drive value to one or two orders of magnitude.
Stage 1: Social Networking will adapt Bitcoin for micropayments. Speculation will drive value to one or two orders of magnitude.
Stage 2: Commerce will embrace Bitcoin as an overlay mechanism, like Paypal. Speculation will drive value one or two orders of magnitude.
Stage 3: Bitcoin will replace local banking for businesses enjoying low fees. Local legislatures will officially recognize Bitcoin. Speculation peaks.
Stage 4: Nations will begin to decouple currencies and adapt Bitcoin.
Stage 5: Nations and corporations will merge as they lose their competitive advantage over decentralized enterprises.
Stage 6: National borders will dissolve as decentralized enterprises evolve into AI driven civilization planning.
Stage 7: Bitcoin will evolve into a scientific-method based algorithm using Asimovian principles.
Stage 8: Ebil robot zombies will eat our brains and conquer the Universe.

So, there's a race of people and they produce the most undesirable offspring. They are anti-government and hate the current regime and it's due to a certain gene that effects how one perceives humanity. On the congressional, senatorial and presidential ballets are candidates that will support eugenics and forced contraception of these people that "threaten society". You are proud of the current government and believe it will put humanity in the right direction but if these people keep reproducing, they will eventually stop everything you stand for. You believe these people's views will hurt humanity as a whole.

Do you vote for forced eugenics on these people?

Abraham Lincoln was an enemy because he wanted to eliminate state sovereignty and centralize all people under one rule, which works against the "greater good". Different cultures want different things. Enslaving all people on one region, continent or plant is not the solution. It makes things inflexible and inefficient. It causes disorder and conflict among different cultures. It only causes more war. Some populaces are going to do things you don't like including slavery: you can't change that. What you can do is move to states or countries that support your morals. You can also only do business with people who don't use slave labor. It's very simple.

I thought you could just walk into a Chase bank and send money to Mt.Gox? That seems like a much faster way to get some bitcoins than using dwolla?

Note: I don't know how it was simple before us, but I'm pretty sure DialCoin made buying bitcoins even simpler than Simplecoin, and it was released beforehand. Might want to pick a more accurate slogan.

Truthfully, I would loved to be proven wrong and have everything I done stuck up my ass. If that be the case, I'll spread my cheeks for entry.

Humanity's only hope is to take down skynet with PayPal chargebacks.

3. Public and private keys

Public and private key pairs would be used to identify who owns TickerSymbols ("TS"), Shares, and TradeTokens.  The public key (technically a shorter address derived from it) will be known as a "DBSE Address", and the corresponding private key will be the "DBSE PrivKey".  Any of the three items--TickerSymbols, Shares, or TradeTokens-- can be associated to a given DBSE PrivKey, and are thus owned by the owner of that private key.

If needed, three separate types of public/private key pairs could be created with distinct looking public addresses: One for ticker symbols, one for shares/assets, and one for TradeTokens. TBD.

7. Motions and voting

Anyone who owns at least one share of a given stock (TickerSymbol) can create a Motion concerning it, and all other stockholders can vote on it.  When submitting the Motion, an expiry date from 1 to 90 days is given.  When the expiry date is reached, the Motion is defined by the protocol as having passed if (a) at least 50% of stockholders have voted and at least 2/3 of votes are for the motion, OR (b) at least 1/3 of stockholders have voted and at least 3/4 of votes are for the motion.  These percentages can be discussed, but should then be hard-coded into the protocol.

boonies4u, GLBSE V.2 is going to be made available by the end of this year, it's going to be a huge improvement over what we have.

At the same time work is also being done on the current GLBSE web interface, it looks like we will have a facelift, functionality and usability improvements in about 2 weeks.

On Saturday live websocket streaming of GLBSE is going to begin.

I'm hoping for a resurection of GLBSE this years end.

Does anyone know whats happening with the Bitcoin Police (and can they be contacted for the DOX on tawsix?)and noagendamarket?

I've not been on the IRC channels since coming back. Oh by the way I'm in the UK now.

Nefario.

Do you mean having a tablet packaged separately which the user adds to the drink when opened, or some sort of contraption suspending the tablet under the cap so it falls when the cap is removed? For the latter, I wouldn't count on the bottles remaining upright while in shipment, I don't think it would work, but I could be wrong.

I was vaguely imagining a mechanism that released or broke open a small tablet upon twisting off the cap.

This is a conundrum. Do I buy a lot of Bitcoin or do I help develop the Bitcoin economy by investing money in real world applications? The former could have me ending up with a lot of worthless Bitcoin, the latter could make my few Bitcoin worth a lot.

$3.00 seems to be a magic number.

1) Why do we need to know this information?

2) The market determines the value based on buying and selling.  Whether or not there are 1,000,000 BTC lost or not doesn't matter, b/c the supply & demand of the market will still even out.

This the same thing as stating that the federal reserve doesn't know how many US dollar bills have been lost.  It has an effect, but is evened out by captial markets anyway.

To the extent someone would "find" a bunch of coins and choose to sell them, it would hurt the price, but the market would even out.

This is the appropriate action to take, has his identity been publicly outed yet?

The explanation I got from someone was that there were a lot of NPR listeners there. I guess NPR listeners know Bitcoin.

My business doesn't care about the rate.

Slight exaggeration maybe, but we've never changed 'prices'.

Alright, since you are a outspoken limited supply critic which level of inflation would you prefer?

Constant inflation - The currency base rises exponentially.
like 1% for one year, 2.01% for two years, 5.1% for 5 years and 64% for 50 years

Constant currency base growth - Inflation decays logarithmically.
100 % for the first year, 50% for the second, 33% for the third.

Logarithmic currency base growth - Inflation decays hyperbolically (I would prefer this one)
100% for the first year,  58% for the second, 26% for the third, 4% for the tenth and 0.2% for the 100th.

Bitcoin uses both asymptotic currency base growth and inflation, which is by definition not really deflationary.
