I am interested to transfer a .org domain to Exoware. The cost is £7.49 GBP and ฿6.74BTC. For some reason that doesn't seem right to me. Perhaps the site hasn't taken account of current value of bitcoins?

Is it possible I can transfer a domain with Cinfu and pay with bitcoins?

Oh no! Now we need to setup a pre-screening line to protect the people in the main screening line!
Let bomb the pre-screening line instead! More people there! this is a thought-crime. you are now under thought arrest and will spend time in thoughtanamo bay. |

Is there actually any proof he is really dead? I mean after almost 10years they finally found him, and what do they do, shoot him dead and than decide to throw him immediately in sea. And we get an old photoshopped picture of him and a nice story how they killed him. Yeah right...  I hope it is true, but at this moment I'm not that sure of it. Although you may consider that this communicated event without any lack of evidence or proof may provide suspicion that he is not dead. It is more likely that the effort of supposedly burying him in a way that is practically untraceable is to cover up the fact that he deaded over a decade ago. I ask the same question. Not that it's easy to fake such a thing, but still, if he was really killed, shouldn't there be evidences like videos and pictures at least? Has any been released to the media?
It is VERY easy to fake: http://breaking.witcoin.com/p/1476/#r-2429The fakes do not have to be realistic. As long as you are a kind of entity that has a following, whether you lie, fabricate, make up stuff or not, the people that follow after you will tend to repeat from you, because you are their friend or are acceptant of them. I, for one, am not acceptant of my corrupted parents, family or friends. I appreciate more individuals that are not lazy, excuseful, corrupted or have hidden or malicious agendas. Anyone here on the forum is welcome to reject and oppose these types of informations as they desire. This type of rejection is similar to other types of oppositions/rejections (e.g. opposition/rejection of using Bitcoin). I will not bother to respond to such oppositions or rejections as it is obnoxious, meaningless and practically troll-liek. My parents are trolls and quite obnoxiously corrupt. They have no value to me; not even today, Mother's day.* * Yes I did just recently visit my Mom for vacation in San Francisco. However, OMFGZ DRAMA due to corruption and craziness as well as lack of comprehension or understanding of words that I communicate and their related meanings, which are met with nonsensical scripted responses. I don't want to become anymore crazy than I already am particularly from corrupted and compromised influencial sources, especially parents.Who gives a s*** about that guy. On the other hand, if it results in withdrawing the troops out of Afghanistan, then that's actually a good thing.
The particular individual is unimportant other than the advertised or marketed value established of him, whether from actual provable events or entirely fabricated like fictional movies, books, sitcoms, newscasts, etc. Vote for Ron Paul.  Wrong. Don't vote at all. Voting for another president will be voluntarily causing further contributory efforts towards the continuation of corruption, control, enslavement, and misinformation propagation. I talked to a friend the other day about just getting back from Iraq. I asked what he was doing there and he said, "combat communications." I said, "Combat communications? I thought Obama said that the combat troops were gone." He said, "They call them contingency operations now, but it's the same thing." So if you really want something to change, you'd have to do something like vote for Ron Paul.
Even if Ron Paul establishes effort to uncorrupt the plethora of corrupted government agencies, corporations, individuals, etc, it seems like he would be assassinated or murdered before having opportunity to accomplish these types of things. It seems more likely that he (like anyone else) would be susceptible to corruption and therefore evolve into yet another terrorist (one that is not marketed or advertised predominantly as one, but that approves of or shows acceptance towards plethora amounts of terrorist activities/efforts that are instead marketed or labeled in words that help to convince others to accept and approve such activities/efforts (e.g. "department of defense" instead of "department of war"). This whole story is just too much. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidences. How come you kill Bin Laden and you get rid of the body  Imagine if some armed group came by before it and said "Hey, we have killed Bin Laden! We had to get rid of the body immediately after to avoid complications, but yeah, we did kill him! Where is our $25 million reward?" Could anyone take such group seriously? Because Obama is doing the exact same thing, only that he wishes better poll results instead of $25m. As referenced above, "to cover up the fact that he died a decade ago." |

Most people foolishly or naively believe that Osama Bin Laden died a week ago primarily due to plethora of corrupted media sources helping to propogate such misinformation to continue deceiptful perceptions amongst billions of people that cannot think or understand critically. Hint: http://breaking.witcoin.com/p/1476/Osama-bin-Laden-already-died-in-2001I am one person. I do not consider myself corrupt. Do you? |

I think either the advanced system or karmalog would be good so that abuse of the system can be identified. Has anyone used a forum where this feature worked particularly well? How was it configured and what was the social convention around it? Edit: Leapfrogged you there, SgtSpike. Sounds like a vote for the ARS! All I can say is; great, now bobR is going to troll AND smite on everyone.
I agree. abuse is fairly simple. But how would other users know whether a minus is unjust? I don't see that the plus/minus is related to any particular post/activity/transaction. If it was then it would seem it could balance itself out as some may find a post useful and others not. From what I see it is applied to the member and I believe new users will not necessarily understand right away its purpose.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for a rating system. I think it is extremely useful for new and old members both. I just worry that it will be abused the way it operates at the moment.
If instead of the title "Reputation:" it was listed as "Helpful:" or something similar I would feel a little more at ease.
It will be difficult to determine whether a + or - was unjust, and especially in cases of one or more users using a greasemonkey script as linked above, it may be fairly difficult or spammalicious to moderate if too many users start noticeably abusing it, or even providing a not so noticeable form of abuse such as by modifying the script to include randomness in whether or not to + or - or skip altogether. It makes sense that for such actions, there should be some sort of cost or expense. |

I think it matters.
"Bitcoin" is easily recognizable as an alternative to "bitcoin" and it isn't necessary to use the nonstandard or unofficial variation of "BitCoin." What would be the reason for capital C?
Perhaps for related naming schemes these would be appropriate also then?

What detrimental effect does miscapitalization of a single letter cause? I really don't think it's going to confuse anybody. The same reason just five days ago my mom was bursting into tears* in utter frustration and disappointment that Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! misspelled her name with a 'C' instead of an 'S' even after just twenty-nine seconds prior my mom had communicated to Amy Goodman that her name is specifically spelled with an 'S.' Spelling and capitalization is important and serious business. * Note that my mom was already bursting into tears and in utter frustration and disappointment in me because she saw my facial expression in reaction to the amazingness of Amy Goodman's talk and she was jealous and mad at me that she hadn't established a similar reaction from me due to her not being as amazing. |

Does it really matter? I think eMansipator has a valid point, it can get confusing if you don't know whether one is talking about the client software or the currency units.

What is this "BitCoin" you speak of ?  It is the gross abuse of the spelling that has been established by several users who seem to have not recognized that the spelling was "Bitcoin." I therefore established this poll to help provide better awareness of the issue. See http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7269.msg108845#msg108845 for one example. |

What is the general consensus for case of "Bitcoin?"
|
|
|
|
The convention I hold to quite carefully is to call the technology "BitCoin" and the money itself "bitcoins". This is largely so that even at the beginning of a sentence it can be clear whether I am referring to specific coins or the technology as a whole. It is an arbitrary choice, but I feel it improves communication of the concepts.
"BitCoin" appears as a gross abuse of the generally consensused and originally established "Bitcoin." I secretly (forget) established a filter to correct these types of abuses used at witcoin. |

Ohnoes, I must permit the government to steal a percentage of money from me and possibly later to allow me to collect a percentage of the stolen monies at a later date? What is the reason for this again?

Do we got a reasonable projection of how much USD wil exist by the time Bitcoins are close to reaching the big 21 mark?
Assuming the federal reserve company still exists and us is still controlled through violence (read "presidency and governments") I believe this is fairly reasonable projection of how many us dollars will exist: us$100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 At that time it will cost about us$100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.00 to order a coffee at a restaurant. |

We should integrate all of these efforts right now, while they're all still in development. It's inevitable that some efforts will fail, so we should try to make the system robust enough to absorb those failures. We should have a common way to identify a particular exchanger that is exportable to multiple websites (i.e. a GPG key.) #bitcoin-otc already has a significant web of trust set up, and it's not hard to integrate import that into other applications.
If we have multiple sites using information from a single web of trust, we should decide on a common API to communicate between those sites. Right now, the OTC database records a user ID (gpg key), a rating from -10 to 10, and a notes field. This is fine for -otc, but other sites will likely want to record additional information in their own webs.
Some stuff that might be saved in a WOT database: contact information, services offered, currencies offered, availability times, trade volume limits, rough GPS coordinates.
If we agree on a protocol such that all sites can share data, we can make the whole Bitcoin economy a 'decentralized exchange.' When any one site fails, another can take its trust database and start with that. To avoid tampering the databases should probably be public knowledge. Who will take initiative or lead to organize this effort? |

sony == evil; ddos sony == good
mtgox != evil; ddos mtgox == bad
However...
Simply by admitting to affiliating with or triggering the distributed denial of service attack does not imply that the ddoser is evil.
Expanding upon the simplicity of the two lines above, it appears that btcex had a partial good (or nonevil) motive, whether it is accepted or agreed upon by one or more community members or not, that may have been misunderstood by an initial "ohnoes, you're ddosing something I use... you're evil now." (hint: "ohnoes, you're ddosing playstation network that I use to play games... you're evil now.") In the case of ddos against sony, there is a kind of established consensus amongst intelligent critical thinkers that ddosing sony is good and therefore there are many acceptant participants. In the case of ddos against mtgox, there is not yet any kind of established consensus amongst intelligent critical thinkers that ddosing mtgox is good and therefore there is currently only such known efforts by one individual.
The particular individual that ddosed mtgox is Russian, and that is an additional stereotypical negative reputation factor, however, not all Russians are evil by default. And some supposed evilnesses of Russians are assumed and perpetuated.
I'm not sure what the point of this post is, and although I will probably never use btcex (as well as most likely never use any physical currency to bitcoin exchange market because I have intention of working for bitcoins instead of working for us dollar), I am not immediately convinced that the supposed ddos attack is guaranteed negative reputation for btcex. People make mistakes and cause drama (e.g. my mom is horrendously wrong, crazy and evil and blatantly denies it as well as responds oppositionally and retaliatorily in quite nonsensical ways), however, such efforts do not necessarily affect their reputations directly. e.g. Just because my mom is drama queen, behaves irrationally, causes much frustration, aggravates and frustrates others, whines, complains, hissy fits, interrupts, verbally assaults, excuses herself (e.g. hypocrite), etc. does not mean that I trust her any more or less. Actually, I just recently vacationed in San Francisco, and she was quite reliable or trustworthy in regards to being there to assist me in responsible and helpful ways. So, just because she does something that I do not agree with (e.g. triggers a ddos or complains about the Noisebridge community) does not mean she is any more or less reputable, trustworthy, reliable, etc.
