I do speak english rather fluently, and understood you just fine. Pretty funny you think I'm "mainstream." Must mean I have "arrived" or something  Also, says something about YOUR level of comprehension if you think I'm for authority.

I am very anti-authority, and describe myself as Anarcho-Capitalist. In fact, I'm apparently much more anti-authority than you are (maybe that's why we clash, me being anti-authority, and you being authoritarian?). I do not dispute your points about the possible fall of society, or the why and by which means it may happen. I am actually in agreement with pretty much all of it (except for the crazy coincidental cycle theories). My only difference in opinion is that I believe your claim is one of many possible outcomes, not the only one. My main contention with you is that you come on here claiming some divine wisdom, pretending as if you are the only person who realizes these things you are talking about, and that everyone else should listen to how smart you are, and study up on your "very important" sources and other clutter of links and crosslinks, when I, and likely many many others on here, have come to those same conclusions you are espousing all on our own ages ago. Yes, we know, you don't have to yell about it in dozzens of threads, 5 pages at a time! And you're not that special or original for bringing it up, since we've all been discussing this for a while, too.

As for Bitcoin, I don't actually own a lot of bitcoin (sold most of it to get my Prius), but I do understand it WAY better than you, as do many others on here. Simply because we actually spent an enormous amount of time discussing it for years, and have been involved in development in some way. So when you come on here out of nowhere like some noob, yelling "The sky is falling!" and proclaiming a bunch of problems in bitcoin that the rest of us have discussed adnauseum two years before you even showed up, and have already figured out and dismissed these problems as non-issues, please excuse us for not taking you seriously. Especially when you bring up an issue, we shoot it down, and you bring up another issue right after, over and over. It paints a rather specific agenda on your part (like you are SURE bitcoin is bad and broken, but you're just trying to figure out how). That "transaction withholding attack" of yours is likewise nothing new, and yes, we do understand it completely. No, it will not work, because bitcoin just doesn't work in the way that it would have to for that attack to actually be effective. As for mining fees, you don't need to understand simple math, to understand that even spending $1mil to attack a network and bring your investment down to $0 will still be throwing away $1mil. The value of attacking the network will always be $0 in the long run.

I also understand that bitcoin is not in its final form. It can, and will, be changed and updated. Blockchain algorithms and mining will be improved, transactions will be anonymized. And if you ever come out with whitepapers (I'm not holding my breath), I'm sure we'll be happy to implement them into bitcoin after rigorous testing (unless we spend yet another 50 pages, explaining to you that "That's not how bitcoin works, damnit!"

By the way, it's rather ironic you keep saying we are wasting your time. How long does it take to create a 5 page long post, with 40 links, and keep track of your old posts that you can crossreference, when all you are doing in the entire post is trying to state a single, simple point?

Uh... I'm into mesh networking?... >.>

You'd think about 10 or 20 times people would assume this is just their normal operating procedure 

I want Bruce Wagner back 

My brain mustlve edited it out, because 1/3rd of the article is about bank runs and how MtGox is experiencing one (at zero speed, due to no withdrawals). Thanks for pointing that out.

If we do that, the detractors will just complain about us spewing excess rocket fuel polution into the atmosphere, and adding to the growing collection of space junk.
Would be tragic if that bitcoin flag ended up piercing and breaking the ISS, too.

Where did that come from? They don't do loans, and have no reason to do fractional reserve. Is there a source for this claim?

Later on, I have a MeshDynamics MD4350-AAIx WiFi mesh access point (400-500m range) for sale. I wonder if anyone would want such a thing, and for how much (and if I can't sell if from US, I'm willing to drive up to and ship it from Canada)

People who don't want to be taken seriously, do not spend time writing 4 page dissertations on public internet forums, supported by 40 reference links, and invoking authority from 150+ IQ geniuses.

But regardless, you have very much succeeded in not being taken seriously. Also, you started it on the PMs, as this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=365141.msg5059193#msg5059193 was my reply to it.
Also also, aren't I on your ignore?

That looks like a completely different story o.o

Does anyone want to volunteer to check and vet the growing list of charities? Basically check whois to make sure they're not brand new, check webarchive to see that they haven't been receiving bitcoin for a while, and check that they are a legit secular non-political charity? Bruno seems to have disappeared (probably got hit in the head by barnwood again)

Had to look him up on Wikipedia. Can't say it was very flattering, either:


Sounds like AnonyMint

"low IQ cohorts" Hah! This from a guy who brought up an idea that was thoroughly debunked, and who couldn't even understand why it was debunked despite being explained over many pages. And who thinks his ideas are incredibly insightful and unique, especially since he provides 40 links to all his other supporting posts (each with its own links, of course), when the rest of us just take your ideas for granted and don't post about them because we don't think they are all that special (yeah, no shit socialism is a cultural disease, ecomony is unsustainable and will likely collapse, governments will try to take as much as they can from anyone who has anything, and bitcoin will need to be much more resistant before that time comes. We're working on it!)

Regardless, you're still lying in your post by bringing up things that were already proven to be wrong, and your anti-bitcoin agenda is rather blatantly obvious.

I notice in the other "Transactions Withholding Attack" is still listed, despite the fact that it was already debunked as not feasible by a few bitcoin core developers, as well as people with a much better understanding of bitcoin than you. It was likely the thing that made you lose so much respect among developers and long-time bitcoin users, since they would point out to you why this would not work, and yet you kept insisting they were wrong, despite demonstrating that you did not understand how the bitcoin blockchain and incentive structure actually works.

Interestingly enough, me mentioning this on that thread ended up with the post being deleted.

Bought a bunch at $620. Thank you gox!

Point is, Illuminati were anti-religious atheists, so they wouldn't have been devil worshipers either, just as Nazis were extremely nationalistic, so they wouldn't be for the idea of taking down the government they so adamantly supported.

Exactly. If you can imagine dank's posts here on the forum, then they already exist. Frankly, dank doesn't ever even need to post here any more.

The following:


seems to make trading through LocalBitcoins OK, as long as you don't claim to make a business out of it.

So, p2p trades over $300 will get you nabbed? Can anyone else confirm this?
