Coinhunter was tracked to this guy by BCX.

http://twitter.com/zarquonsknees

If you will notice, this guy's Anti-BTC, pro SC tweet on Aug 21, the very day SC 1.0 first launched. CH is. a big twitter. The guy's location is Melbourne Australia the same as Coinhunter. If you research out this guy you will see a similar cocky prick persona.

The major confirmation is there was multiple pro Solidcoin public post on his wall as well as on Susan Parnell FB page. Both are private now and became so after BCX posted it. This I saw for myself.

The more I read your posts, the more I start to think you actually are the new BitcoinExpress identity. Hmmm  Huh

I think you're both BitcoinExpress. After all, you did claim to be able to "confirm" that he had almost infinite power and wealth. How else could you know that if not because you're him!?

Market doesn't give a fuck about how many coins the Great Leader is hiding.

I don't understand why this would be so.

P.S.:
Perhaps a bit of a touchy subject, so feel free to decline answer, but are you currently a resident of the United States?
Just a bit of less-than-scientific statistics gathering on my part...

Yup, been living in various parts of the US forever.


Fascinating.

Too bad I'm no sociologist, but still fascinating.

Thank you for answering.

I'm curious as to why you find this fascinating. Would you care to share?

In the UK, parliament gets to decide.  I have no idea how its done where you live.  Hopefully its a democracy so you get a say in these things.

Ah, so it's not "society", but the State. Hmm... I live in the U.S. and I'm pretty sure it's not a democracy, but a constitutional republic.

It's ok, I realize that to you "democracy" is just a magic word that invokes rainbows and unicorns.

Rassah asked in an effort to change the subject.

Bullshit. I think the master subject changer is projecting.

Now he has accepted that if something is harmful, society has a right to intervene, I can answer.

Who gets to determine if something is harmful? How do you define "society", and how does "society" have rights?

If the victim feels harmed, they are harmed.

So, by your logic, if the victim does not feel harmed, they are not harmed, and society has not right to intervene? Thus, if a 12 year old wants to have sex with a 50 year old, it's perfectly acceptable?

In answer to your question, if letting someone use the Internet or a knife or a car is harmful, of course society has a right to prevent that harm.  If its only you feel that way, of course you can't.

How many of us must be harmed by your obtuseness before we can use violence against you?

Pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but did you ever read the blog post I linked for you?

Do we justify the actions of Hitler because his experimentation on Jews led to medical breakthroughs?

Did the Jews say to Hitler: "our race is extermination-proof, go a head and try!"?

As for "support", which definition are you using?

I forgot to add to the above:

SC2 has huge communication issues.

They keep going on "everything is fine, situation is UNDER CONTROL, nothing to see here" when it is pretty obvious that their diff got horribly borked early on and they have weird "chain hiccups" which have so far received zero public technical comment from anyone.

That's not "communication issues", that's propaganda.
328  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Intellectual Property - In All Fairness! on: October 12, 2011, 07:41:00 PM
But, again, why do you believe sex is harmful?

Hawker, stop being a hypocrite and answer the question.

If I believe that letting you use the internet is harmful, do I have a right to use violence to stop you?
329  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: SC Releases his 'white paper', hilarity ensues on: October 12, 2011, 07:31:05 PM
The problems with SC2 are not "premine".

Well, a big problem with SC2 is that it was premined to a much larger extent than previously disclosed. At least all the previous premines (that I know of) have been honest from the beginning (had to be, they disclosed source codes).

I don't like premined block chains, but I don't think there's anything wrong with in as long as it's disclosed.

All I have seen from the media so far is twisting it into their constituents direction. I haven't seen them cover the movement as it truly is: leaderless and diverse.

DUH. It's the media. There's your problem. Go see it for yourself.
The problem is the majority of the population is never going to see it for themselves.
I disagree. And it's is still not a mark against OWS.

You still haven't answered my question.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=38854.msg570269#msg570269

If rights are what "ought" rather than what "is," where does your "ought" come from?

If I provide you with an answer, do you promise to read and try to understand it?

If so, then please read this blog post. It's by a friend of mine, and I cannot summarize the issue any more than he has. If you are unwilling to read this, then you are unwilling to have your question answered.

By the way, due to your hypocrisy, I'm going to be calling you out every I see that you don't answer a question or respond to a point.

How low are you happy to go before you decide that a child with a drugs habit is not qualified to decide if she should or should not consent to sex?

Down to the point where the child is no longer able to make informed decisions. Getting into a drug habit and getting addicted was not a very informed decision to begin with. Give me a better example.

OK you are happy for a child of any age to have sex with an adult provided they make an informed decision.

As you probably know, a lot of priests in Ireland had consensual sex with children in ages from about 5 to 15.  Even though they consented at the time, later on the kids changed their minds and said they were damaged by the experience of sex with an adult at such young ages.

Is it your position that they consented so should shut up?

Or is it your position that there is a point where a person does not have the right to consent to sex?  Obviously at that point, society has a right to intervene and rescue the child.

It's not that they don't have a right to consent to sex. It's that they are unable to make an informed decision to do so.

If someone does something that they have no right to do, they should be punished. Children who have sex with adults because the adults convinced them to should not be punished, in fact, the adults should.

Seriously, why are you so obsessed with adult-on-child sex? You're creeping me out, man.

By the way, in some US states, the minimum age at which a girl is allowed to strip for money is around 12 to 14. I guess since that's a law, and since rights come from law, 12 year olds have a right to strip for money, right?

If you disagree with The Law, that's just like, your opinion, man. The Law is The Law (because The Law says so).
335  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is the Occupy movement not immediately embracing bitcoin? on: October 12, 2011, 06:14:00 PM
The occupy wallstreet movement is a charade at the moment in the hands of the press. It had grass roots beginnings but those are now long gone. Bitcoin isn't going penetrate a nanometer into its ecosystem. It can't because it won't even be reported on. Its image will be whatever the corporatist press wills it.

If you want any luck, you're better off entering the Occupy the Fed movement.

You sound like the liberal media arm with regards to the Tea Party.

Don't discount them yet, from what I can tell, they're sticking to their leaderless movement principle.

The more people scream "liberal shills!" the more it's likely to happen. Have you actually been to one of these yet?
Please look at the tea party today and tell me it hasn't been taken over by the mainstream establishment.

Of course it has, but I don't see any indication that something similar has happened to OWS (yet). Yes, they've received some media (not much) and union support, but like I said, from what I've seen, they're sticking to the ideal of a leaderless movement. All of the political support I've seen has been "yeah, I agree with some of what they say, but they NEED TO FOLLOW THE LAWS!!!111one"

Which seems like a good selling point for our (yours and mine) ideas. If they can organize themselves without leaders, why do they need to appoint leaders to fix the problems they see in the world?

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts#Example_2:_Escrow_and_dispute_mediation

tl;dr Bitcoin could support a transaction that can be spent to either of 2 addresses, and must be signed by 2 of 3 parties in order to be spent. Either buyer + seller, buyer + mediator, seller + mediator can agree that the transaction should go back to the buyer, or to the seller.
Wow, that's really interesting.  Thanks for the info.

No problem. I find the other examples on that page interesting too, especially assurance contracts.

Their right is to make personal decisions about when they want to do things with their own bodies. One person's right in that respect is not infringing on anyone else's. Where is the conflict between those three that needs to be resolved or decided on? The 12yo can go off and have sex, the 16yo can wait till they are 16, and the last one can wait till they are married. Why is it any of their or our business what they want to do? More so, why do you believe this isn't the way things already happen? Why bring up a hypothetical world where such a decision has been made?

P. S. Sorry, but there's really no topic that I find taboo, so, apologies if your "Oh think of the children!" tactic isn't persuading me.

No its not the way things already happen.  If a 12 year old has a drugs habit and is selling herself for drugs money, anyone who pays for that gets locked up.  Even if they go to Thailand for it.

OK we have established that if someone is selling their 12 year old for sex, you are perfectly happy with it provided the child consents.

How low are you happy to go before you decide that a child with a drugs habit is not qualified to decide if she should or should not consent to sex?

You've got some weird fetishes, Hawker. That's all I've got to say about that...

Lot of people choose things because of nice colors and people smiling in the advertisements, even bank products... The point is, the client itself has some innovation, for users and programmers...
Such as...?

Innovative TripleScam(tm) technology.

Normal coins just scam you with pre-mined blocks, but SolidCoin gives so much more.

You also get scammed by the tax on blocks you mine. You do the work and CoinHunter gets a cut.

But wait, there is even more. CoinHunter has introduced magic trusted blocks to tax scam you double.


SolidCoin - the coin with so much scam CoinHunter had to find 9 more scammers to help him scam you while he scams them. Now that's innovative.





CoinHunter?

Ah, the internet.  Lets ignore all the arguments and focus on one word.  God forbid I should misspell something as well.  Then the gloves would be off.

The point is you are supporting someone you shouldn't be supporting imo.

If the word wasn't important, why did you use it? You knew exactly what you were saying and implying.

In what way are we supporting him? I haven't given him any money. In fact I don't think I've even given him a compliment. I've merely sat back and enjoyed the show.

If you pay taxes, you support war more than I support BitcoinExpress.
