Very interesting discussion we have going on here. I'm opted to stay out of it because my comment(s) may not add value. Thank you kindly to all the posters so far. Keep up the discussion.

Most women will not choose to use bitcoins in its current stage. First of all, it's too technical for their nonsensical minds. Secondly, they can't max out a bitcoin like they can a credit card.
Not true. A woman can max out their Bitcoin account by spending every last bitcoin in their wallet. Whereas a man would save some BTC in thier account for bragging rights. I have Bitcoin. Yes I do. I have Bitcoin. How 'bout you? Damn, I miss high school. |

Another way to get the women on board the Bitcoin train, is to have them join and comment on this message board. The way to do that is to juxtapose only two letters and start a new tread entitle "Broads Wanted". Thereby, pissing them off bad enough, they'll want to join so that they can comment on the thread. Once here, they'll realize that this is a fun loving community and tell their other lady friends who, in turn, will tell other women and, before long, we will be overrun with a bunch of crazy bitches...
WHO'S IDEA WAS THIS, ANYWAY? Us guys can't have anything!

It depends on what type of agreement is reached.
A) No agreement, then highly likely. The republicans would love for some shit to happen and blame Obama. (2012 elections hello....)
B) Debt ceiling is raised but only enough for 6 months. Still likely that we could lose our triple A
C) Debt ceiling is raided substantially. No we do not lose our triple A.
"C) Debt ceiling is raised substantially. No we do not lose our triple A." This would be my favorite option. If we went from an AAA rating to an AA, I would probably start drinking again. |

I personally find that fact outrageous. No one should be able to make a tenfold, or more, profit on any investment--unless its for the betterment of the overall global community (had you there for a second).
Why are you making moral judgement on how much profit a person should be able to make? I wasn't. The statement you're referring to was obviously tongue-in-cheek. I even clarified that fact by placing the phrase "had you there for a second" in parentheses knowing that if I didn't, I may end up getting a comment such as yours. I was trying to cover all bases, but still got called out. The next time I'm at bat, I promise to do better. BTW, I harvest and buy reclaimed barn wood for a living. I buy at pennies on the dollar and make 400-1,000+ percent profit on each transaction. Therefore, I have no qualms in making as much profit as possible, and pass no moral judgement on others who do. Thank you kindly, kiba, for the comment, and please don't take my comment towards you personal. Bitcoin: Now Accepted at Quark's Bar, Grill, Gaming House and Holosuite Arcade |

3 to 5 days for a WIRE?!?
Wow. Bitcoin is definitely going to need better options to get off the ground.
You find this outrageous!? The average Joe (and Joette) works a forty week and then has to wait...wait for it...a week to get their first pay check. Here's the kicker: the day they're no longer employed by that employer, they have to wait another week to receive their last check. An instant Bitcoin transaction would solve this disjustice (not a word--I looked it up). At the end of the day, an employee should be able to clock out and have his wages automatically directed to their Bitcoin wallet. That way they can go out and get drunk, then go home and watch a little porn and play some poker on the internet. The next day, they can go back to work (if they feel up to it) and do it all over again. Bitcoin: With the Best Darn Forum on the Planet |

http://etfdailynews.com/2011/07/25/investors-the-1-billion-armageddon-trade-placed-against-the-united-states/It looks like our AAA rating is about to have a fender bender and may need to rely on a towing service to get around. I'm not a speculator, I'm a forum guy (sorry, Bones). Somebody has made a bet, a $1B bet nonetheless, possibly knowing that the US is going to default or lose its AAA rating. If he (not a woman--read http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=32386.0 ) wins, he'll decuple his investment. I personally find that fact outrageous. No one should be able to make a tenfold, or more, profit on any investment--unless its for the betterment of the overall global community (had you there for a second). Any thoughts on how this may effect Bitcoin? Bitcoin: Default Proof!

I sent them an email, their reply:
"At this time we are dependent on PayPal for our processing and, therefore, can only provide the services they offer."
First off, I/we (the community) thank you for taking the incentive for contacting Wikipedia. Obviously, that's more than I did. Now to comment on their email to you. "At this time we are dependent on PayPal for our processing and, therefore, can only provide the services they offer." Wikipedia is dependent on PayPal for their processing? So if somebody came up to them and said, "Hey. I have this idea of donating cash and there's a whole group of us who have cash. All we want you to do is set a system in place so that you can accept our cash." In essence, they're reply is, "We have no way of processing cash. We're depended on PayPal and the 'Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy' services they provide." Now, if I were Wikipedia, I would use any system as a donation stream. Even if I had to masterbate a gecko on the street, accepting loose change in a tin can. Maybe I went too far with that last sentence. I don't want to offend anybody in this forum. If I have, please reread the sentence again, but this time in your mind change the word "gecko" to a name of some other creature (and no, I don't thick geckos are gay--I mean creatures).

I pity the woman who ends up with any of the misogynistic assholes in this thread.
I'm not sure if the above statement is a misnomer or an oxymoron (or both). As I see it, here's the rub. A misogynistic asshole would not be teamed up with any women what-so-ever due to the fact that a man who is misogynistic hates all women, therefore would not even consider a relationship with a woman, hence a woman not ending up with a misogynistic asshole. Correct me if I'm wrong. Bitcoin: Even Used by Misogynistic Assholes |

Are you kidding me? You are limiting passwords to 12 characters? And you consider this sufficient security? Sounds to me like you're storing the passwords in plaintext.
No, it's encrypted.. and B: we were thinking that people might one day want to use it for their mobile phones... so I have no idea what kind of phone you use.. but I'd rather not type in a 30 character password. Look, I know many of you got goxed .. hence why you're asking the questions you are.. and RIGHTFULLY so... but storing crap in clear text? That one takes the cake... but I am sure I can out do you. See actually we have a billboard on I-95 and we display the passwords in real time outside of Philadelphia. That's an excellent idea. You took a page right out of LifeLock's marketing book.  |

Well that shows how little you know about genetics...
Yep, I know substantially more in software development rather than in genetics  Let's be straight: there are 2 (two) parties involved in a birth of a new life: spermatozoids and ovum. One is male, another is female. Please tell me who is the third party there The third party is the party host who threw a party, thereby allowing two parties to meet where, later that evening, spermatozoid meets ovum, bringing an end to the party. But there is a happy ending to this story. The little rascal grows up and, not ever seeing a dollar bill, spends his hard earned Bitcoin on stuff--stuff he don't need. Bitcoin: For the Other StuffThis is a much better explanation that I gave. Bitcoin: It's probably not gonna get you laid... (an anagram) |

The same goes for human genetics...a male and female gamete form an embryo, but what comes out is by no guarantee what went in. As one terrifying example, look up human chimerism. It is very possible for portions of your body to be female and portions of it to be male. You know that you now opened this up for the pee pee up the butt comments.

Several years ago I donated to wikipedia. I won't do it again, even if I could use bitcoin.
They are way to delete happy. I frequently come into deleted articles and even the bitcoin page has been totally cut down in size. I can understand cutting pictures out, but text (if correct, no matter how esoteric) takes almost no space.
Read your sig, Littleshop, and it got me a thinkin' 'bout bumper stickers, which led to police officers, then started to thinkin' 'bout bribes. Bribes and campaign donations. Untraceable donations. All a politician has to do is keep their noses out of Bitcoin's business, and we'll all be happy campers. |

My brother-in-law does hand tooled leather and can easily make an FOB (think key ring) incorporating the Bitcoin logo. He did three motorcycle seats for Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, two of which are in his museum. He's also been featured in over a dozen magazines.

If you want the women on board, all we have to do is tell them that this is an exclusive men's club. Then they'll want to join in droves.

It's not a bad idea at all... but it would most likely take some of bitcoin players to contribute to this. Let's say one of the exchanges waives all fees to convert the donated coins to USD for them then it's something that would get them press and allow for wikipedia to collect USD from bitcoins.
I'd be willing to make it easier for them to get donations... flexcoin id : wikipedia for example
but the converting to USD has to be though an exchange.
Or side-step the whole exchange hoopla and make it easier to donate using bit pay. https://bit-pay.com/home.htmlBasically, I was seeing them (Bitcoin/Bit-Pay) working in concert together to make this a most viable option. I kinda forgot about the donation banner being splashed on every page. I like the sound of that word: splash. You can almost hear the sound of a bitcoin hitting the water of a virtual wishing well.

Hey guys, if I get rich off my bitcoins, I would like to live in a bitcoin-focused community with other bitcoin visionaries. Where in the world shall we live? I'm partial to Portland, OR, which I hear Plato is partial to as well: http://therealplato.com/Ideally this will happen in about a year from now. Let's pretend for a moment that this is a forum for an infant company named PayPal and the time period is about a dozen years ago. Do you think it would make sense then to have a thread about all the people who will get rich via using PayPal to form a PayPal-focused community to live with other PayPal visionaries? I can envision a scene in this new Bitcoin community: Two friends are on the patio when another neighbor stops by to chat. After a few minutes, the neighbor leaves. Once out of ear shot, one friends comments to the other, "Troll!" |
