Personally, I think pornography is wrong and degrading to women, and I don't like people who support it.
So you dislike people just because they watch porn? In what kind of prude society have you been raised? :-(

Bitcoin having things like "bitcoin porn" is not going to make it look better in the eyes of the general public.

Thoughts?
Bitcoin and porn are a perfect match. You can anonymously pay for it without having PORN written all over on a bank transaction. Watching porn is perfectly normal for human beings. If you don't like it, don't watch it but don't hate people just because they play with themself. IMHO it would give the Bitcoin movement a big push if porn sites would accept bitcoins directly. Same for filehosters and mp3 shops.

There was a discussion in some other thread about the VHS vs BetaMax technology fight and how porn was the reason why VHS won the race. It strengthened the VHS distribution.

Every agreement between two human beings has an implied component that the two people are dealing with each other in good faith. If two people enter into an agreement, there is no need for them to say, "By the way, are you okay with me ripping you off and lying and cheating? Is that cool?" Of course they implicitly agree that this is not cool That's how agreements work.

No, that is not true. They exist and they are legally and morally enforceable.

I don't know what you're talking about. Are you saying that you don't think contracts include an agreement to act in good faith and deal fairly?
So now you are completely ignoring that we are specifically talking about pool hopping in this thread and not about contracts in general. My comment was referring to pool hopping and your ignorance of accepting that only you read "don't pool hop" between the lines of the pools TOS(if they even exist). You still have to provide evidence for your claim, btw. Where exactly did you find your implied agreements not to pool hop? Please show us the lines in TOS of the ten largest pools that made you read between the lines not to pool hop.

I'll keep saying it as long as people actually don't understand that every agreement includes an implicit agreement that one is dealing fairly with the other party. This is recognized by pretty much every legal and moral system on the planet.
Yay \o/ Let's all repeat ourselves over and over again, the one who repeats himself the most often wins the "discussion" and his argument will magically become true for everyone else! JoelKatz is way ahead of us and is heading straight for the title "repeat-master" of this thread! Do you have a b-side or are you stuck in an infinite loop?

As I explained, pool hopping breaches the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing between miners.
Dude, seriously....what is it with you and your "implied covenant" or "implied agreement" or "implied contract" .....?

You seem to have ran out of real arguments looooong time ago. All you do in this whole thread is to repeat your own "implied agreements of good faith and fair dealing". Those agreements you are talking about do not exist, it's only what YOU read into it. They aren't real, they only exist in your head, it's what you(and only you) read between the lines. And just because you repeat it over and over again doesn't make your personal subjective interpretation of things that only you read between the lines reality for everyone else. Roll Eyes

Not to talk about your pointless analogies(vineyard, kill your mother, real miners) comparing apples and oranges over and over again.....


Now go on, tell me that i'm all wrong and that my argument is invalid. Tell us again that you see implied agreements.... you didn't point that out often enough yet. Repeat yourself for another 12 pages...  Roll Eyes

Yeh, right! The next thing you'll be telling me is that she has a Bitcoin tattoo.

She does....and it only cost me 200BTC...  Cheesy

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if you photoshop one up just to post the image to this thread.
Nope, it's real.

Nobody has publicly stated they personally know who Satoshi is or anything about him/her.

Therefore, Satoshi must be the CIA.

No, Satoshi is one of our guys...

It is simply unacceptable to delay payment without my knowledge.
Without your knowledge?

They announced the Bank account problems on August, 5th (a week ago...):
http://tradehillblog.com/
They wrote emails:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=34684.0

Did you even try to contact them about your problem?


I was counting on that money to arrive before this weekend for expenses next week.  Now i am left empty handed, no bitcoins, no check, and i will not be able to make a necessary payment on time because of their misguidance.
Lol...sry but that's your fault. Never spend money you don't have. That's like "Ah, i'll buy that new car because i get the job tomorrow. [Next Day] . What?! I don't get the job?"

Also, what kind of "necessary payment" would that be? Do you hold your entire money in Bitcoins? Unlikely.
9  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I admit to being a scammer, and having multiple accounts. on: August 12, 2011, 11:21:37 AM
theymos, what will be the consequences if he doesn't pay back?

It's very unlikely that everyone who was scammed by him will claim back their money, just because they don't know about this thread. Some people he did scam may have been total Newbies and because their first experience with Bitcoin was fraud, they may already have left the Bitcoin community. He still will make profit out of his scams and will get away with it? :-/

Does Horolotech also have a real address, like in real store or manufactory? Or is this some Swatch watch resell thing? If you are a manufactory, can we get a factory tour?
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANNOUNCE] Mining on Ixcoin, a new Bitcoin fork on: August 11, 2011, 02:54:18 PM

You forgot to mention that you already mined 580,000Coins into your own wallet.dat before you made your fork public.


Whereas there are currently ~580K Ixcoins (as of 10th August 2011) in existence and it is expected that all 21 million Ixcoins will have been generated by 2015.

Isn't one thread enough?
12  Economy / Marketplace / Re: << IXCOIN SALES Thread >> Trading FOR BTC AND NMC on: August 11, 2011, 01:33:24 PM
But that's the beauty with a p2p currency: once it's in the wild, even the creators have to buy in to get coins.
yeah... because the 580,000 IxCoins you did mine into your own wallet.dat before you released your p2p currency into the wild aren't enough Cheesy

Pasteurized milk is healthy and safe. Irradiated strawberries are healthy and safe, and they taste and look the same. Should she be allowed to sell an unsafe combination of fresh dairy and contaminated fruit ?
Have you ever even tried fresh strawberries or drank fresh raw milk? No? You should try it, it won't kill you. We are omnivorous animals and our stomach is made for fresh stuff. You can even eat fresh raw meat or steaks that were rotting for months to get mold on them.
In Italy you can get fresh ice cream made with seasonal fresh fruits and raw milk from the local milk farmer in nearly every village. Have you ever heard "Don't eat ice cream in Italy, it will make you sick"? In Vietnam you can buy fresh meat from small stalls at the roadside, and they don't use fridges. Ice cream with fresh fruits is nothing special. As long as fresh ingredients get processed and eaten asap it's no problem at all. It's not like they wait a month before they freeze the strawberries and milk.

But please, tell me if there's any other reason for this new block chain but personal enrichment.
Nope, no other reason. The +580,000 coins that he mined before he even made his project public will stay his.

I wonder when buttcoin.org starts his own chain. i would mine for that!

You announce your project today with ~580K coins already in existence?

A major portion of the 580K IXC have been set aside to promote and develop Ixcoin. For instance, see the Bounties page.
Those bounties sum up to less than 200K. The rest is in your wallet.dat i guess.

Namecoin has at least a real purpose. But this? I don't know. Just because you can mine those coins faster doesn't mean anything. They will just be less worth. The next thing will be OMGcoin , all coins mined within a month.

Nice lobbying against regulations, but have you even started to think about the consequences of removing them ?
It's not lobbying against regulation, the article just says the regulation in this case clearly made to benefit the big industrial players. It doesn't say down with all regulations at all.

But the product in question is simply does not match hygiene standards for a product designed to be stored.
Like when fresh fish, peas or beans get frozen? You can freeze fresh strawberries without a problem...

I am sure it is fine if served directly by the manufacturer, but as non-pasteurized milk is used and fresh fruit is added it can and will grow dangerous concentrations of bacteria especially fast if transported and stored.
Like in a restaurant where you can eat a fresh salad with fresh fruits?
They have to transport it to their restaurant too. Fresh ingredients must be processed and eaten asap, true. No difference in the ice cream case. But this kind of strict regulation is imho Bullshit. In Italy you can get fresh ice cream made with seasonal fresh fruits and raw milk from the local milk farmer in nearly every village. Have you ever heard "Don't eat ice cream in Italy, it will make you sick"? All that people dying every day because they ate ice cream in italy...thousands!!!...it's all over the newz!!!1
I'm much more afraid of not knowing how dirty some restaurant's kitchen is than of fresh ice cream

How It Works:
1. You send X amount of BTC (Must be at least 0.02000002 BTC, read the rules).
2. I send X/2 BTC to the address that I received the X amount of BTC from.
Awesome game! I trust OP that he pays out! Cheesy
