is there anywhere in the rules where 1 person/group cannot win more than 1 bid?

McCain wanted to ship weapons and other equipment to moderate fractions fighting against Assad, not to ISIL. And Hillary Clinton had a similar opinion.
But Obummer said no, just like he said no to recent requests of help from the Iraqi government. The ISIL has some US built weapons, but shipped
from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States. If the Iraqi army collapses, the fight will be carried on by Shia militias and Iranian volunteers, resulting
in a civil (sectarian) war that could last years and could do massive damage in destroyed property and loss of life.

obama haters and lovers alike put him in a catch 22 position. many people are asking why even bother meddling in other countries? and obama seems, at least on this issue, to not want to meddle. then you have people like you and mccain who want more involvement in the middle east.

FYI the rebel fighters fighting against assad are al queda. you know, the same one that we armed in the russian war.

Posts like this cheer me up from the constant worry that i am very late to the game

Same. I beat myself every day for skipping Bitcoin 2 years before i really dived in. I could have been filthy rich by now...but more articles/posts like this i read, more will i get and hope that one day someone will tell me: "Yeah you were early adopter" Grin

Tell me about it i almost bought 5 dollars worth in early 2011 but put it off..... damn being lazy in college.

man, in 2011 i had done my reserach and opened accounts up at mtgox and tradehill.. was that close to buying bitcoin, but then i got lazy. i remember the price was $5/btc. i was also worried that government would eventually make it illegal. in hindsight, i should have just gone for it. i knew about this site even in 2011, but didn't register since i didn't want to be a target of the NSA.

"AGAINST 51%"

GROUP PLEDGE AGAINST BITCOIN CENTRALISATION

CURRENT PROBLEM
GHASH = CEX + Other Miners = Near 51%

SOLUTION
Move out miners to other pools and make them equally fast.

THE PLAN
To gather as much miner, small home miners to fib farm miners and move out of a near 51% pool(Currently ghash) to another pool same day.
The movement in a single day will keep us all away from variance issue.

What you need to do?
Pledge here with your mining hash power for Sha256D and make a reminder in your mobile the switching date and switch to the other pool that day.
Switching day can be decided after we get gathered.

Also Add this Signature:

Code:

[color=blue][b]AGAINST 51% : PLEDGE AGAINST BITCOIN CENTRALISATION. [/b][/color][url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=651211.0][color=blue][b]PLEDGE NOW![/b][/color][/url]

For the good will of the community & Bitcoin, inviting all to pledge here and join this AGAINST 51% group here to the betterment of all. Also put all your input here.

MOVING DAY: JULY 01 2014

I'm a bit confused, if the other miners all join another pool wont the other pool's share increase by about 10% and lead to that pool reaching 51%?

if you had ghash at 51%, and pool "x" at 10%.. and 20% of them moved from ghash to pool "x" it would be 30% and 31%.. it spreads the hashing power.

decentralization, at least to me, means that there is no player in the market with so much power that it could affect bitcoin's development.

I'm also amazed at the TOTAL lack of understanding when it comes to Bitcoin.

A few days ago I met a recent graduate from Cornell University, an ivy-league school. He majored in applied economics and financial markets (or something of the sort). Anyways, I could tell by the way he spoke and his general knowledge about the world/society that he was a very smart individual. Yet when I asked him about Bitcoin, he had NO CLUE what he was talking about. His opinion on it demonstrated a complete lack of understanding.

I find this to be very interesting. How long will it take for "smart" people to take this innovation seriously? Whenever I bring up Bitcoin around my friends, they look at me like I've been sucked into some cult-ish ponzi scheme. I look forward to the day when their dollars aren't worth squat, and I can live off my Bitcoins

doesn't surprise me. he's young, and he came from an institutional education system. besides that, he might be adept with economics/finances, but that's not all what bitcoin is. it's economics/finances + technology.

Fargo Series Finale is on tonight! That show has been so good. I am glad they only made it a 10 episode series, instead of dragging it out all long until it was played out (like most series do).

The show has definitely been very good but I'm disappointed by the finale. Kind of anti-climatic.

although i liked lorne malvo, i felt like there was something missing with his character, a sense of depth. i still don't understand why he does the things he does.. is it because he's just pure evil, or is there another underlying reason?

it's kind of funny how lester has no sense of moral or guilt for the things he's done.. he just don't give a shit.

That is what made the show so funny. Lesters lack of ethics made the show funny when it really shouldn't be laughable. I thought Billy Bob played his role so well. I wonder if this series will win any awards. I have a feeling that it will.

yeah his character is very similar to william h. macy's in the original fargo.. but they added something more to make it better. william h macy was a bumbling, milquetoast and second-rate criminal.. lester started off that way but became much more cunning. both guys are sycophants who don't have much remorse though.

still though, what i felt missing was the depth with lorne malvo.. i wanted to know more about his personality, and we did get a little bit of that, but not enough.

wouldn't it be funny if i were to add a neg trust rating for him, because he made this thread and brought it to my attention? probably still wouldn't learn his lesson though.

if they can't even prove that he has bitcoin, how would they be able to seize his money? how would they even go about proving that he owns such and such wallet?

if you think bitcoin promises you anything, you probably shouldn't be playing this game. no one knows what will happen because there has been nothing like bitcoin in the past.

bitcoin isn't some angel currency either, and there's a pretty good chance that it won't help with equality.. i mean, look at ghash.io's shares, or how many whales we have.

Your first post was a request for a loan. What were you thinking?

You'd have to convince Vod he's mistaken to get rid of it. I can't imagine a way that wouldn't take months.

The negative feedback is deserved in this case. Not only for the several loan attempts but for repeatedly trying to scam someone into buying and shipping him a computer which he will pay for later, and then for laughably claiming he will share a bounty of treasure that is apparently buried on his friends land once he has the money to unearth it Grin

what the fuck is this, pirates of the carribean IRL? sounds like the guy is on some sort of hallucinogenic. he would get along with dank very well.

it's either drugs or some people are very stupid, low-level scammers.

From what I can tell this is all by design to create something bigger and build on what Bush sr and jr set up. The neocons like McCain were doing backflips hoping to arm these Syrian rebels and now they are in possession of top notch weaponry and doing untold damage. THIS kind of thing is why us liberty minded personnel need to be the drivers of the GOP from here on out and let the neocons go back to their Troskyite ways in the democratic party from whence they came. They sure as hell aren't fiscally conservative in the least.

mccain seems to be oblivious, bellicose, and faux pas when it comes to foreign policy.. yet he still acts like he is some sort of expert. it seems like the man loves war.

i'm not on the list, though i registered about 24 hours ago. i will wait patiently, as i know stunna has a lot of people to deal with.

So much confusion here.

Please can Stunna maintain an active list of who is enrolled?

I have completed the form, but do not appear on any of the lists so far.

There's been some talk about Stunna giving a read-only spreadsheet of people that are enlisted. Not sure if that's actually gonna happen, but it would be good and would keep out all the confusion.

i think that's going to end up happening, since so many people are going to be curious and will contact him. it's the only way to go, unless he wants to be pestered.

The trust system is abused, Vod is part of a scammer ring that bastardize the trust system to their benefit.

you are just taking out your vendetta against him because he shits in so many of your threads.

you do realize that no one's going to believe the guy with his trust rating painted all red vs. the guy who has no negative ratings right?

i'm not an early adopter.. though i did know about bitcoin in 2011 and was interested. such a shame that i didn't do anything about it until 2013, but that was all on me.

i don't smoke because i see the worst because smoking

Recently e-cigarette will cure the addiction of smoking, is that true ?

I don't think so because many people say e-cigs aren't as good as real cigarettes.
But I guess it will help few people.

yeah they aren't as good.. it's not really a substitute for cigarettes, though it does help a little bit.

ever since i started smoking weed at night, i get tired earlier and sleep way earlier before. it's kind of medicinal for me.. much better than taking ambien.

i'm not quite sure i did it right either.. hopefully it went through, but there's no way to check eh? i guess i'll just have to take my chances and ask him next month. at the very least, i'll have my reference post here.
