(Deletion of this post would mean that Satoshi is afraid of public inquiry)
They also put deliberate disinformation to confuse the public about cryptography. For example:

If the mods had any sense of humor they would delete this post.

Also, the five dollar bills in your wallet have cameras too small to be seen by an electron microscope that watch you constantly.

They aren't small, you're just applying the wrong algorithm.

By creating a thread about deleting your account you have made it so that other people have mentioned your account at lease 5 or 6 times already.  Now you need to go back and convince all of these people to edit their posts that mention your account if you want it gone completely. Not sure how much of a "clean break" you wanted from this forum but you may be spreading the name rather than making it go away by bringing more attention to your account. So now, even if you change the name on the account someone could look at this post discussing the name change and see what name you used and what your new name is.

This thread is moving at a ridiculous pace. I can't even type a comment without somebody else replying like 4 times.

And 1 out of every 4 comments is someone asking a question that was answered in the original post.

You don't really understand how goldman sachs works do you?

Exactly what about what I said shows a misunderstanding? They are already involved (not in Ethereum but in Bitcoin). If you have a truly free market then the banks are people you are competing with as well. But what's funny is that people are under the impression that bankers are not going to play. If Goldman Sachs was directly involved they would be bankrolling the project or at the very least owning a large stake in the company.

You have people saying that either:

A) " ...but if they can't get money from a bank or venture capitalist, and need to beg to Bitcoin community to fund their project."

and

B) The bankers are the owners of Ethereum!

Which one is it? It's a bunch of noise.

M. Michele Burns, a finance industry veteran who sits on the board of Goldman Sachs is joining the board of Circle Internet Financial, a Boston start-up that is building a payment processing system for Bitcoin.

He is not alone. Workers at Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs in London and New York have been visiting online Bitcoin exchanges as often as 30 times a day, according to documents seen by Reuters. Neither bank wanted to comment.

Employees at almost all the major international banks and numerous trading and investment firms have shown interest.

I'm not going to sit here all day looking up sources and quotes but thinking they don't already have stake in the game is a bit naive. Wasn't it JP Morgan that filed a patent for basically their own bank version of bitcoin? If you have money to invest, there is way more money to be made piggy backing off of Bitcoin right now. ATM companies, exchanges, any bitcoin related service really is a completely new market. Once BTC becomes regulated a bit in the US and banks have a legal leg to stand on that protects them, they are going to be in it to win it.

You guys are kidding right? I used to work at Subway when I was younger. If I work on a coin does that mean that the sandwich industrial complex has a stranglehold over my operations?

I get the whole "screw the banks" mentality, I really do. I'm right there with you. But if you think that the people who work/run/created the financial system haven't already been involved in the bitcoin world you are crazy. Do you think that bankers would prefer not to play around in an unregulated arena? C'mon. If there are profits to be made then the people everyone is rallying against are already involved. Bitcoin isn't really a secret. Satoshi could have worked at Goldman Sachs for all you know. Someone prove that he didn't. There are mysterious people sitting on massive stacks of BTC all over the world. You really think the best and brightest of the financial world are all sitting on the sidelines crying about how they wish they understood how to set up a wallet?

These guys here are up front with where these guys worked. People who worked at banks are going to be involved/already are. All this big talk of boycotting the whole project and whatnot solely based on a bank being mentioned is stupid talk. You are just conditioning the next wave of coin makers to be deceptive, anonymous, and guarded with their information. But maybe that's what you guys want. Just know that that is what you are going to get.

What does that come out to .000072 BTC and hour? Unless you could find a way to automate the calls from a bunch of lines it seems like it would be tough to earn enough for a payout. The idea that they can deny payment if they see too many lines coming in is what makes me hesitant to try. Interesting idea though.

Hello Vitalik! Quick question! Is there a minimum amount required for initial investment? On the blog you wrote:

Quote
...on February 1, the fundraiser will begin, at which point anyone will be able to obtain some of the initial pre-allocated ether (Ethereum's internal currency) at a rate of 1000-2000 ether for 1 BTC by going to http://fund.ethereum.org. The fundraiser will run throughout February and March, and early funders will get higher rewards; anyone who sends money in the first seven days will receive the full 2000 ether, then 1980 ether on the 8th day, 1960 on the 9th day, and so forth until the baseline rate of 1000 ether per BTC is retained for the last three days of the fundraiser.

Will the minimum purchase be 1 BTC worth or will you be able to purchase with .5BTC or less for example? I think there are a lot of people who don't have thousands to invest but still want to get involved early on. Me being one of them  Smiley

The USA isn't allowed to exist.
The end.

Wouldn't that then negate the constitution so nobody would have to follow it? I think you just entered to United States into an endless existential feedback loop.
15  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Escrow question on: January 23, 2014, 11:26:28 PM
Is there an "official" list of people on here who will help out with escrow? If not, a sticky would be useful to new guys here.

Source: I'm a new guy and escrow would make me a bit more comfortable.
