Guess we either wait, or chuck this one off to "we'll get back to you later" which means never?

Just got it in e-mail http://www.kavlachayim.co.il/?categoryId=76602
Sounds fine to me. Anyone have objections?


EDIT: By the way, I noticed we got moved into "Services." *shakes fist at mods*

Anony forgot about the prisoner's dillema, where such crashers would actually be competing against each other, and one trying to crash will likely get killed by the other simply buying up his cheap coins. Oh well. 

Or it could simply be because your claims were flawed, I, knowing the ins and outs of bitcoin, understood that you're wrong, but every time I try to come up with examples to demonstrate why you are wrong, you shut them down with either claims that what I point out has already been discussed (it wasn't), links to other posts that repeat the same thing I'm claiming is wrong, or just outright adhominem attacks. And I'm not the only one, either.

A lot of people do that. None of their Ignore buttons are so dark. No, the reason for so much anger is because Anonymint rehashes the old stuff that was discussed, debated, and settles two+ years ago, then when people point out to him that this stuff is no longer an issue, or that he doesn't understand something and that his claims are false, he resorts to telling people how he is so very smart and that everyone should listen to him, and that anyone who points out the flaws in his claims is stupid. Then it just gets worse, when any new fault that people find in his claims are just replied to with links that don't really lead anywhere or say anything othen than the original claim being disputed.

In short, AnonyMint is an uninformed egotistical douchebag. That's why the hate.

And FYI,


The ONLY reason I even mentioned my IQ to begin with was because when AnonyMint first started posting, and then first started to get counterarguments explaining to him that he may be wrong, he was the one who brought up the whole "I am so smart, and I know people with high IQ, and I am so smart, and you are wrong" shtick. The first time I mentioned anything about IQ was in a reply to him, saying, "btw, you're not the only one with a high IQ here, *hint-hint*  "

If they all stupid, yes. Just like a few hundred people can crash USD price.

So, you are saying we had 930 new millionaires created in the last 2 or 3 years, all of whom have a vested interest in seeing the currency succeed?

I can't speak for MoonShadow, but for me they seemed like a combination of "difficult to digest" with "mediocre conclusions." Once I managed to process what his words were trying to say, the thing he was actually saying wasn't all that impressive, which only made it all that much more disappointing. Plus he still made some claims I find questionable. This is about his economic writings though.


He may not be out of his league in economics, but you can't become and expert in economics, and then just claim that you are an expert in Bitcoin. The technology, and the way bitcoin actually works, is clearly out of his league. But instead of recognizing that, taking other's information into consideration, and actually learning about it, he seems convinced that, because he is so smart and is an expert in one field, that he is an expert in Bitcoin and understands it better after two weeks than the people who have discussed it for over two years. Note, this is the same mistake that a lot of economists have been making when they were writing news articles bashing Bitcoin.

Not your own views? And I quote,


How can you say that the views that some races have low IQ and are predisposed to violence are views you agree with, but which at the same time are not yours? You either agree and hold the same views, or disagree and hold opposite ones.

And FYI, if you like logicky computery stuff, I started programming as soon as I got my first computer (BASIC on Tandy 1000), then on TI graphing calculators, then in school classes, where my final project surpassed my teacher's level of understanding. I then got a job doing software development and debugging in Java, C++, and PHP as soon as I turned 18. My last programming position was as the IT manager and project developer of McDonald's Corporation's east coast region, until the dot com bubble burst, my job was outsourced, and, seeing the looming threat of India, I switched to finance. I never really stopped programming though, mostly doing it in Second Life through my finance degree, and Perl for some personal projects more recently. Besides programming I also own a MAGLEV "company" that owns a few linear motor and magnetic levitation patents, which I am still improving with mechanical and electrical engineering skills. I don't have an affinity for language arts. It's just something I do along with my other hobbies, which even include flying planes and practicing Kendo and Iaido (Japanese sword based martial arts; hoping finally for black belt on the test this January).
By the way, I don't remember what I got on my SATs. It was something between 1,200 and 1,400, but I didn't care because it was a somewhat dark time of my life and I didn't plan on going to college then anyway. But I did nearly max out my GMAT scores, and got the highest score possible on the composition and writing comprehension section. In this case, knowing so many languages, and thus the roots, meanings, and alternatives to many words, did help. GMAT, if you don't know, is a Master's level SAT. And don't let the M for Management fool you, the math in it gets ridiculously difficult.

And, despite all this, I really don't care if you think I am a moron, a liar, or whatever else you might think of me. You are not that important. All my history is not that important, either. Frankly, I never told this to anyone, since I'm not one to brag (but since you started it, I figured it might be fun). Because, unlike you, I don't think who I am, or what I did or do, is anywhere as important on an anonymous forum as what you actually say, what you contribute, and how cordial you are when you are doing it. Reputation is everything, and your shit-brown Ignore button doesn't bode well for you.

I asked for a description of what it is they actually do, since the website just has vague goals without specifics.

A health system that takes into account that we are prone to violence, drunkedness, and not being responsible enough to set up our own insurance, and punishes such people SEVERELY by allowing them to "slip through the cracks," isn't much of a utopia, either  

Can you explain how being a super-paranoid conspiracy nut is very much like following a pre-defined and agreed-upon mathematical protocol? Because 

Maybe you mean it's typical of the type of people to be attracted to Bitcoin? Because... maybe? But bitcoin is just inert software running on series of tubes.

So, is this party going to be locked to 1BTC, or $1,000?

I also learned to talk when I was 1, learned to read by 3, read most of our house library, including grownup stuff, by the time I was 5, learned to play the piano proficiently, including classical by Bach and Chopen, by the time I was 7 or 8, was admitted into a professional boy's choir as one of the youngest members by 7 and our choir won the national competition when I was 8 or 9, learned advanced Algebra by 4th grade, Calculus by 6th grade, skipped 7th grade entirely, got A's and B's in all my classes despite almost never studying by deriving exam test answers right during the exam (grades dropped in 11th and 12th grades because I didn't do any work at all), received a doctorate level education in electromagnetic physics when I was still in 12th grade, and actually graduated from two schools at the same time, the public I attended with everyone else, and the private 6 year one I attended on weekends that focused on history, literature, theology, and politics of Eastern Europe. Oh, and I have a Bachelors and Masters in business finance and economics, and I speak, like, 5 languages fairly fluently, and am learning two more.

Oh, I am also a descendant of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Oleg Tozoni, and a direct descendant of a royal lineage, which technically makes me a Count.

Now prove any of that is a lie  

Also, this


doesnt actually prove you have a high IQ, it just proves that you are a racist with a possible eugenist streak.

Funny how that works, huh 

It's amazing how you continue to ignore me, and continue to reply with "I have refuted that point" over and over, not realizing that if you had done a good job of refuting them, I and other people would not keep repeating them. Sometimes when everyone else things you are wrong, it may be wise to recheck your premises.

Also, my IQ is around 160, so 

Which just creates a special wallet that is only useful for Amazon transactions. Extra inconvenience to shop at one business, and


this doesn't make sense, since the original proposition of the attack was that Amazon transactions wouldn't be shared with others, anyway. What's the point of hiding Amazon transactions in various IPs, if the only time others see them is after they are included in a block? So, again, in the end, you end up with the option of

A. Use Amazon's wallet, which lets your transaction show up instantly when shopping on Amazon, but forces you to wait 10+ minutes for your transaction to show up when shopping elsewhere, or
B. use your own wallet, which lets your transactions show up instantly regardless of where you shop

OR if Amazon forces people to only use their own wallet software to buy from Amazon:
C. Use Amazon's wallet to show at Amazon, your own wallet to shop elsewhere, both with instant transactions, and have Amazon give miners a 20% revenue boost by not bothering to process the available transactions.

It also doesn't make sense for Amazon to hold the private keys AND still use those keys to add transactions to the blockchain AND mine those transactions and their fees themselves, since Amazon can achieve the exact same thing by using an offline wallet system, where customers transfer funds into Amazon's shared wallet instead of Amazon's wallet app, still charge the same fees they would charge before but do it directly, and just do their 20% mining with not accepting other transactions into their blocks on the side, completely independent from this offchain transaction crap.

As has been shown over and over and over and over and over again, you just don't get how bitcoin works. Also, I thought you were ignoring me?

I was trolled by PinkiePie, not the Freemasons. I didn't even pay attention to the Freemason thing, as 1) I know who Freemasons are and what they do (and even considered joining them), and 2) I thought that particular trolling was pretty stupid. I didn't even know that SA was trolling with fremason stuff until after PinkiePie, actually. Get your trolling history straight, goon.

And then sell all the coins on the new Chain back to Amazon, or some poor dilusional sap, increasing your Bitcoin holdings even further at the expense of the new chain. Yep


I am almost tempted to bet against him for that one. Though I think just being proven wrong will be painful enough, especially for someone so convinced he can not be wrong no matter what anyone says.
