Oh I see, you're laboring under the illusion that separateness exists (outside of conceptual metaphor) and that in reality, the universe is not a unified field. Good luck with that superstitious misapplication of pagan/Manichean spiritual concepts to real world. I for one, wouldn't fly in any airplanes built using "Biblically correct engineering" or live near a nuke plant designed using "Christian quantum physics." Godless empiricism for me, thanks. No, logical tells me that nothing can only create nothing. We now know that the universe is not eternally old. If it exists, it wasn't created by nothingness. My guess is only something that could break the law of conservation of energy could have brought our universe into existance. That eliminates the big bang and brings about serious flaws with your unified field theory. Though I'm hoping this wouldn't turn into some religious/atheism debate, you do realize that the atheistic worldview is riddled with physiological issues, logical fallacies and inconsistencies. So I wouldn't start such a fight when standing on such weak ground myself.

Harry Potter is bigger than the Bible. Just saying. And I think the 6th book was longer too.
And it's sold more copies worldwide.
Sell everything, invest in white messenger owls and magic wands.
A refrigerator is bigger than the Bible too? But I rather have the Bible on my shelf

Great thread title!
Bitcoin is the biggest threat to the pharisees, moneychangers, priests, and kings since Rabbi Jesus the Christ started up his little cult of heretics.
Stuff, in order of importance:
1. Big Bang 2. Bitcoin 3. Sex (tie) 3. Beer (tie) 4. Fire 5. Wheel 6. Internet (tie) 6. Nutella (tie)
I suppose I could understand that coming from someone who enjoys bitcoins more than sex and believes that everything came from nothing.

I'm glad to see you are enthusiastic about bitcoins. However, seeing that the Bible has been well known by billions of people through many many generations for the last couple of millennia, and bitcoin has been known by tens of thousands for the past couple years.. I'd say that's not likely.

Every penny on that commercial you're talking about is actually a $1. It costs a $1 to bid one penny. So next time you watch it and they say... "hey, i got this laptop for only $48.02", or "hey, we got this 60" TV for only "66.58", they are actually saying the community of people paid $4802.00 for the laptop and $6658.00 for the TV. It's nothing but gambling. You keep sticking a dollar in the slot machine, but the machine reads one more penny for every dollar you put in.
I looked into this when i saw the commercial.

There's a "service" section in the Marketplace for this kind of stuff...
Sounds great, I'll try to post this there. Sorry, I won't advertise a service that shows the page it currently shows when clicking on "Security", no matter how much referral income is possible!
I understand. Feel free to check back in a couple weeks when the rest of the site is no longer under construction.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Infomercial on TV accepting Bitcoin

Of course there are a lot of businesses that accept btc. And I understand this scenario hasn't happened yet; but I'm sure a lot of people agree it will one day.
Just needs a media frenzy. Something is going to happen one day, maybe connected to a celebrity, maybe a large business. But when the media is all over it, and the nation is all watching... then we will see what the law makers "try" to do.
But maybe you're right. Maybe they won't. I just don't see bitcoin never encountering a legal threat/fight.

Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Infomercial on TV accepting Bitcoin
|
on: June 26, 2011, 07:34:38 PM

Ok, let's say a commercial comes on TV, and at the payment screen, they claim to accept bitcoin. Like an infomercial. Now, at this point the government would be pushed to make a decision or start a fight with this economy, wouldn't they? What would happen in this situation?
I bet this is close to how it's going to happen. A somewhat larger business is going to say they accept bitcoin, the media is going to cover it, the nation is going to watch and then the fight is gonna happen.
Thoughts?

How often and how are referral fees paid out?I'm assuming most here will pay via BTC. You would immediately receive upon payment. Assuming people have a 30-day trial, you would probably wait 30 days. USD would have a short waiting period, probably 2 weeks. Can I choose my own Promo code? Just numbers or numbers and letters?I suppose you could pick your own 4 numbers. Is there a limit on the number of referrals you will get paid out on?No. Is there any particular reason you are significantly more expensive than Carbonite?Not Carbonite, Carbonite Pro (click here). I was about half their price until they just changed their pricing structure probably within the past week. (See below)My software is a business product that has plugins for backing Microsoft SQL, Microsoft Exchange and more. Carbonite Pro is merely a file level backup. Currently, if you want to backup your server operating system, it costs $49.92/month minimum with Carbonite Pro. I have a $25 plan that allows server os backup. Their minimum workstation backup is $19.08/mo. Ours is $15. Obviously I have to stay competitive and will need to change some pricing and storage space slightly now that they have just recently changed theirs. Carbonite Pro Recent Pricing Structure
