Question:  What if on your website or an email signature you say something like...'I do not sell bitcoins to people participating in illegal activities.'

That hopefully should filter out people when you meet them.

Also you could add 'I sell up to $100 in bitcoins.'  Thoughts?

Holy crap.  This is huge news!

Time for a rally...

If it's hot where u live it will cost you to cool the mining rig.

HA!  Thrive linked to SolidCoin's article...so biased and full of FUD.

Bitcoins, Social Responsibility and “Infinivision”: InfinitiPoker’s Plan to Shake Up Online Poker

http://pokerfuse.com/features/in-depth/bitcoins-social-responsibility-infinivision-infinitipoker-plan-online-poker-16-10/

Does this script take into account all of the mirrors?

This might be the best idea i ever had. If not bitcoin maybe another alternative currency.

Of course we can call it 'The Force' instead of 'The Bitcoin'.  Good idea, thebutterzone.

See, every awesome movie has a similar concept.

Idea:

There is one bitcoin to rule them all.  If you get this super bitcoin known as "The Bitcoin" you can spend x percent of all existing bitcoins.  "The Bitcoin" will be mined every 1000 years.

I am thinking "The Bitcoin" will allow whoever owns it to spend 15% of all bitcoins in existence, which is 3.15 million bitcoins.

Why do we need this?  Society may need a reset button from time to time.  But more importantly because it is cool.

"New regulations by the Federal government define asteroidal material to be an antiquity, like arrowheads and pottery, rather than a mineral — and, therefore, not subject to U.S. mining law or eligible for mining claims."

If bitcoins are created from math, and math was created in the distant past, then one could, ahem, argue that bitcoin could be classified the same as an asteroid.  I am probably streching this but, hey, it'll make for some conversation.

Exciting times...

Stability!!!

No, not really.  Just my gut.  Maybe I'm wrong.

Litecoins will eventually die.  Namecoin is much better than Litecoin.

Maybe she got zhoutonged.

I thougt the the thread was better than other troll threads and probably needed to be moved and not deleted.  Everybody seems to like to exert power.

This is like the Kevin Bacon's six degrees of separation but OP modified it with 13 pictures for 13 degrees of separation.  Kevin Bacon is in the picture with Gavin and Charlie if you look close enough.

Moderators: Please move this thread to the Alternative Currencies section as more than half of the OP is an alternative currency.

I'm a bit worried the QR Code will rub off or give out the wrong address.  What are the chances of this?
