Incredible how quickly one can ruin his good reputation in this forum. On the one hand, I see a parallel here to pirate's actions ("I would have wasted my perfect OTC ratings"), and this makes you think about the issue of how much credibility and trustworthiness an online identity can possibly achieve (which probably was part of Matthew's plan). On the other hand, pirate ran BS&T for personal profit, so his initial ratings weren't wasted after all.
Why Matthew thought education of the masses was worth the amount of defamation and trolling that is up and coming after *this*, I can't really grasp.
Congratulations!
Lots of fun and trolling to the others

Have you noticed that nanotube hasn't been very active on the forums lately? It makes you stop and think..
He probably stopped to think ;-) I'm really stunned by the high values of BTC bet on Pirate's payout. Waiting for the announcements of BTC put out on Pirate's head  |

Where's your obligatory PGP signature? ;-)

I would have been surprised to see a reputable merchant using the Mt.Gox leak list... Anyway, casascius.net seems to redirect to www.casascius.com for me, so you got to fix the problem? Yours David |

So you mean you print your message onto those $1 bills in red paint, and then banks still need to accept them?

There we go... I put my inkscape skills to the test  Nice clocks :-) Quote from yesterday evening's irc.freenode.net #bitcoin-dev (CEST, UTC+02): [00:04] <gavinandresen> BlueMatt: as soon as there's a qt GUI that has the same functionality and stability as the wx GUI I think we should switch. What do you think?
[00:05] <BlueMatt> hm, Im not sure, I suppose I agree...but for now I think we are still in the "wweve got a long backlog of pulls to-be-pulled and need to decide which is higher priority as to in what 0.4.X version it gets pulled
...
[00:47] <BlueMatt> sipa: if you dont mind, could you respond to the qt thread for me and ask for more testing of autotools (my email is down atm...long story, dont ask)
...
[00:47] <BlueMatt> I think the people who really want to see qt merged will help test autotools first
I'm not sure what "qt thread" BlueMatt meant, or if this has to do anything with your version... Any hints? Keep up the good work! David |

Quoting someone from IRC #bitcoin-dev: [23:58] <rgm3> Do any of you guys know forum user ufasoft?
[23:59] <rgm3> His miner requires libcurl > 7.12, but the ./configure script only checks for >7.10, but since I'm a forum n00b, I can't post to the right thread with the details.

I've made some 16x16 icons. Don't blame me if they are ugly, I usually code and don't design stuff. Try to make or google something better, while the latter option has some license fun included for sure. Pending (0 confirmations):  Unconfirmed:  Confirmed:  License: You are free to do with these icons as you wish, including selling, copying, modifying etc. Yours David |

Hope that sites start to use reCaptcha.
Fun that people still think CAPTCHA, especially reCaptcha - which is extremely widely used - is any good against bots. I have a small personal website with a simple comment form secured by reCaptcha. One or two spam entries per week. Don't tell me some Chinese guy is being forced to solve them, because posting spam on a website without any traffic doesn't generate profits. That leaves bots solving them. Welcome the 21st century's image recognition. Yours David |

BetweentheFabric: If someone controls over 50 % of the computing power, they can (re-)write new blocks of history as they choose. Besides deciding what will and what won't make it into the blockchain (thus arbitrarily accepting or rejecting transactions), they could also double-spend their bitcoins.
The kind of risky investment bitcoins are at the moment, however, I guess most rich people have many more profitable options than paying a lot for rapidly outdating hardware to make a few bitcoin users angry.

Nath: I think speculation is necessary to "give BTC value" before much of a BTC-based economy is established. When more and more people start trading for BTC, prices will probably stabilize, especially if one can cover all his expenses in BTC.
Of course, as long as you need to exchange BTC for some state's currency to be able to buy goods with it, the value of a BTC will solely be bound to speculation.
Yours

The Central banking cartels will lead to the destruction of all economies. This is no accident the collapse is by design and inevitable..
I wonder why it would be in any sensible rich man's interest to make the economy collapse. There would be no more people paying off their debts to them, thus their power would vanish. Thus, I don't think it is in the interest of large banks to make the economy collapse. They are probably just trying out how far they can go before it does. Yours David |

I just wanted to post some ideas (e.g. encrypted "piggybank" wallet) into the Bitcoin-Qt thread, before finding that noobs are supposed to post here first. An idea for making this easier: People could pay some low BTC fee for bypassing this noob forum. Yours David |
