We don't want ISIS to use bitcoin, their touch is toxic. They would kill bitcoin. Mind you, they could be using bitcoin already.

Bitcoin has remained so low for so long, it's about time some major investors realising this is the bottom.

I mean the photoshopped sexy females. 

It's amazing what people would do for $2. I think all the photoshopped ones shouldn't count. OP said "real life"

You could probably get 0.000001btc per day which takes forever to reach 1btc. Give up the idea of mining bitcoin with GPU, that is what I am saying.

It's like saying someone can easily win the lottery. If anyone has such luck, they deserve more than 30 btc 

We don't need a central bank, we need a small transactions clearing system. If we have a cencentralised bank, we go back to a fractional reserve fiat system.

Even fresh orange juice contains more sugar than you think. This comes to no surprise to me. Sodium (salt) is another problem altogether.

Why don't you use another blockexplorer to check your address? At least make sure the coins are really there. You can try blockr.io. Then you will know which wallet is correct.

ICO itself is an investment, like ventture capitalists investing in a startup. If people want to throw money at them, we can't stop them. What is troubling is how developers use fake alt accounts to join ICO and create false impressions of the coins' popularity. This counts as fraud.

I am fed up with them, and have ignored the altcoin boards. BCT ignores HYIPs, ponzis and scams. ICOs are lilely to be ignored too. We are fighting a loosing battle.

CPU mining is not profitable anymore, not even feasible in my view. You might earn more if you rent those servers  out.

CoinDesk is a news site, it never was a voice of cryptos. This not only a CoinDesk problem, the crypto scene is littered with ammature wannabe journalists.

BTC Guild is not closing anymore. OP can lock this topic. Even if it were to close, it is not the end of an era, it's just miners' preference on pools.

There will be more bitcoin debit cards in the future. If you don't like the terms, don't apply for the service and wait for one that you like. No one needs a bitcoin debit card, it is only for a bit of fun.

"Alive and well" doesn't mean much if it is not going to be approved in the near future. Let's see if can be traded by next christmas, or the one after that  

There are users with multiple accounts, old inactive accounts and banned accounts. I will not be surprised if active unique users is 10% of 376335.

Most used is obviously doing work or selling stuff for bitcoin. You can chat here and join Sig campaigns. Then, there is day trading and gambling.

Shady site with no real contact method. Only interested in buying bitcoins from them if they send first. 

If you want to generate a vanity address yourself, don't use a website either. You need to download the vanitygen software from original site and run it offline. Personally, I would not use a vanity address. Using a random address doesn't bother me.

If your business is legit and not a copy of his ideas, I see no reason why you should give up your business idea for another forum user. Go ahead and do not let market incumbents bully you.
