Why would you say that?
It makes absolutely no sense.

It is not Russia who will be the aggressor , they know they don't have anything to gain even if victorious (very slim chances). If indeed a war starts in Ukraine it will most likely engulf Bielorussia first and then spread into Russia , probably with a few fights in the Tiraspol area.

A false flag operation, in order to make Russia seem the aggressor.  A lot of attention has been on the US lately: dragnet surveillance, guatanamo, snowden, financial crisis etc..  The US wants to improve its image abroad, so after the Olympic games suddenly Russia was the bad guy with anti-gays, pussyriot etc.

What is your opinion? Things are getting more and more nervous there.  Undecided

The military leaders are planners and do a cost/benefit analysis.
War would be fought in some of the smaller countries,  in order to have high benefit but "low cost".
I'd say a war on Russian territory is not very likely, perhaps the war would be dragged further into Europe.

1223  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: what promotion should we select for our new security crypto related app? on: June 15, 2014, 01:40:48 PM
Hi! With couple friends(we have small company) we have been working on special security software especially for bitcoin (it helps you to protect your bitcoins against thefts) and now its finally finished! We´re working on our websites now, but would like to promote the app to as many people as possible through various sites and channels(FB, Twitter...) by banners, articles, maybe video.. Could you please help us to determine the best possible ways and placement of promotion so it can reach the most potential buyers? What would appeal to you and where?

note: we do not have thousands dollars for that, but you probably concluded Smiley

Thank you very much for your opinion!

Social media is one way to reach people, but there are others. You could do a competition or survey, or attend a bitcoin conference and give a presentation;
1224  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is BitCoin faucets really worth the time? on: June 15, 2014, 01:34:50 PM
Hello,
I'm new to BitCoins and I wanted to know if faucet pages are really worth the time?

No.

Many faucet users don't realize they can spend their time on some other more productive things. They simply get too excited for FREE bitcoin.

Alot do thou after spending a few hours entering the recaptha and realise you made 10p. Only real winner is the popular faucet owner, everyone else is just wasting their time.
I agree with you check this how much faucet owners gaining profit from them http://adbit.co/?a=Advertise

Right, faucet owners can get a decent amount of money. They can never pay more than they earn and usually have a decent amount of traffic, around > 10.000 visitors a day.
If a faucet would get 0.1 btc per day and decide to give half (0.05 btc) to the people, then a person could get max 0.000005 btc per day. This gives you an idea where all the zeros comes from  Smiley


1225  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is BitCoin faucets really worth the time? on: June 15, 2014, 01:25:09 PM
Say you live in Uganda and get 0.01 $ per hour. Got the data from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_minimum_wages_by_country
If a faucet can give you 0.02$ per week if you do it one minute a day.  That's about 7 to 10 minutes for an hour work.
That majority of the people here likely get a higher salary  Smiley
1226  Other / Meta / Re: What are constructive posts? on: June 15, 2014, 01:04:18 PM
For example, the posts of joshraban76 and jaberwock  are constructive posts. A non constructive post could be a single image, a reply "yes/no".. basically messages you put some effort in that are useful to others  Smiley

Hi guys,

I am somewhat worried. This could lead to a extremely bad perception of the cryptocurrencies.

What is the plan?

Chuck

Current state:
GHash:  41%
Discus Fish: 14%
Unknown: 22%
etc

Bitcoin market price has always been a rollercoaster, see https://blockchain.info/charts/market-price  
I see a tiny uptrend on the end, with a little bit of luck we'll soon be at $800  Smiley

As for forks or altcoins, there are tons of them.. bitcoin has the largest market share tho;

1229  Economy / Economics / Re: Silkroad seized bitcoins to impact price? on: June 14, 2014, 11:21:52 PM
Quite a drop over the past 24 hours but a decent rebound.

Makes you wonder what'll happen when they announce they're going to sell the 144k coins

Hence people investing in bitcoin is really no different than gambling.

Investing is often a kind of gamble. For examples, in stocks most of the people do not know if they will go up or down in advantage.

1231  Other / Politics & Society / Re: IRS claims it has LOST two years' worth of emails from former official Lerner on: June 14, 2014, 10:49:46 PM


Anyone here in bitcointalk an IT professional? How can this still be possible in 2014?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2657545/IRS-claims-LOST-two-years-worth-email-embattled-former-official-Lois-Lerner-tea-party-targeting-scandal-heats-again.html



Lost emails? well a server crash without any backups. Be it, that the receiver also does not have the emails and that the NSA does not have a copy. Emails are usually stored on the sending/receiver end (in sent mail or otherwise) and so its likely that the majority of it is not lost.

tl;dr; they do not have IT professionals over there or scam

By default data is associated with you, unless you take counter measures.
Dragnet surveillance is very serious nowadays. IP address is one of the many things to track you.

The site looks very good, going to try to win some darkcoins.
For others who want the link of the wallet, darkcoin source is here https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin  (binary wallets for windows/mac also exist on official site)

The site doesn't work  Huh Embarrassed just see a page of godaddy with some commercial..

9. Improved America's standing in the world community

I think this did not increase, on the contrary. Dragnet surveillance, financial crisis, guantanamo, secret wars, attack on journalists (whistleblowers) etc
The standing worsened;
1235  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to get into a coin's code ? on: June 14, 2014, 12:11:24 PM
I don"t think there is a python based coin.
It seems that almost every coin code are based on bitcoin (or fork from bitcoin), and imo, the bitcoin code is pretty dirty Cheesy and hard to read

You are right, there doesn't seem to be a Python code. Most of the stuff is C/C++

Beginning of WW3?

A few Ukrainian APC would not make a difference. Ukraine trying conquer to Russia would mean Ukraine total destruction or becoming part of Russia.

This tank driver watched too much the movie terminator  Cheesy Ukraine can not conquer Russia, it's like Cuba take over USA
 
1238  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to get into a coin's code ? on: June 14, 2014, 11:50:30 AM
Hellow !

Well i have a simple question, is there some kind of documentation, of how to get into the code of a coin ?
Is the only way, to read all the code and figure it out ? then should i start from bitcoin code, or an other cryptocoin?

Well if you have other ideas about getting into the code, i'll listen


Coins have a source code link on their official website. You can dowload the whole code, or you can simply download a wallet.  The easiest, I think, would be a python based coin  Smiley

I will try one now with my tipping address. The way I understand it this proves who I am because no one else knows the private key of my address except me, right?

Right, nobody knows this address. The private key is used to move money, that is why you dont want anybody to know it.

I am also told there are lots of scammers and hackers who steal your Bitcoin if you're not careful. How do I avoid this?
You can avoid scammers by avoiding money to strangers. To avoid hackers is more tricky, because hackers are clever people. To avoid, you need a secure computer or cold storage.Some people use Windows machines with tons of anti-virus, firewalls etc, others use a Linux variant. There are several things to do in general, as the computer is now worth money. Security is a big topic, cold storage is the most safe:
>don't install new software (from the web) on the computer
>don't install plugins for webbrowsers
>avoid wireless, use wired internet
>don't use the computer that has money on it, like regular computer. only use it for money
>make a copy of your wallet files (on usb or coldstorage). In case your computer crash, you still want access to your money
>keep your laptop safe  (make sure nobody puts hardware keylogger inside)
etc.. I'm sure other members will give more tips  Smiley

Business advice would also be helpful!! How do I maximize my revenues and make my work more profitable? What sort of things should I focus on? Photoshoots, cam shows, private chat, special requests, etc?
All of them have a market. As it is a startup bussiness, you may want to try all and see what you feel most comfortable with / earns most. Or you could try new things that have not been tried before. For example, in Japan it is possible to hire/rent a (digital) gf for an hour rate; Anyway, I have no experience in this particular area so my best suggestion is to experiment.

We're also planning on launching a new website soon starring myself and a few other local girls that accepts Bitcoin and Darkcoin and maybe other coins. I don't know anything about the technical programming stuff, but I'm definitely interested in advice on the business side of things and how we can make a good, profitable website.

I'm a dev; Generally people use a "LAMP" combination (Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP), it takes some skill or practice to set it all up, but other technologies are common too. For example, some websites rely completely on Java or ASP.NET. The one technology you always see on the web is HTML often in combination with JavaScript.  Either do it all yourself, or hire a developer. (or alternatively, get a dev "investor" who get 0.01% of the profit)

P.S. Opinions and feedback on my first album welcomed and appreciated!!  Grin
The handwritten bitcoin/darkcoin addresses are good, but perhaps QR code would be a good addition. People could scan and tip.  I would suggest to smile a bit more on some photos. Perhaps you could do something with the environment, there is an ship painting on the wall (after you look 5 times  Tongue ), you may want a more 'romantic' or 'kinky' environment. The wire of the lamp near the wall, I dont think you want this; I think, its important to have the enviornment so that you are the focus of the scene. Images 2, 4, 13,14,15 are the best in terms of body language, but opinions may vary.
