On principal, I'm not going to vote for anything promoted by a thread title with CAPS and exclamation marks!!!
We've already got so many sub-forums here that I've taken to ignoring a heap of boards. It would be nice to start seeing some of the boards hive off into forums in their own right rather than adding more here.

Small bump in the road, I crashed my car and my phone, along with the contacts, was stolen. This is what happens when we live in a greed driven society drive high.
FTFY BTW, you need to update your Dank Bank thread OP to show your repayment to squall. You did pay squall back, didn't you? Looks like the Universe isn't very impressed with you right now, dank. Perhaps you should pay your own way instead of letting your friend sell his belongings to pay your rent. You've got more excuses than BFL, but at least they'll most likely deliver eventually. Do yourself a favour and move back home. It's obvious that you're not fit to leave the house without a handler. |

Why are you talking about SA?
Someone on the talk page proposed a separate section on that wiki page for currencies without an ISO currency code. I think that's a reasonable compromise at least for the time being. If Bitcoin continues to grow in terms of awareness, adaptation, and valuation, then eventually it would be unthinkable not to include it on a list of currencies.
I also think that a well-written page on crypto/alternative currencies in general is going to do more to promote awareness of the alternatives to conventional financial systems than the whole "make them treat Bitcoin like a mainstream currency" agenda. It's kind of like putting "Jedi" as your religion on a census form. You might think it's cute and sticking it to the establishment in some way, but does it really do anything to promote awareness or does it make you come across as a twelve year old trying to be edgy. Wiki wars just create the impression that people are too lazy/incompetent to write their own well-researched article and need to hijack someone else's. |

I know social marketing's the big thing at the moment because it's so low-cost, but I swear to god that any "friends" who try to market anything to me via my social media accounts will find themselves on the same shit-list as any friends who try to pitch their MLMs to me.
I guess that's a good thing to ask yourself when you're trying to promote Bitcoin. If you sound like an Amway evangelist then you might want to revise your strategy.

The 'allowance' he refers to is actually government benefits for disability.
That should be paid on a set schedule. It sounds like he works as well. He evidently has poor impulse control so it's highly possible that his disability payment arrived on time and he spent it and now needs to wait for either his next disability payment or to be paid for working. |

i regret ever telling you about egodeath. Just forget about it please. You think you're god. That is extreme ego robo-tripping right there. Stop taking psychedelics. they aren't meant for underdeveloped people like you.

It's an old story, but the basic theme probably needs recounting on a regular basis. Their downfall wasn't just from using Hushmail - they also accepted PayPal and Western Union which was pretty fucking stupid. Similar services have been busted for similar mistakes.

Storing money offline and retrieving it elsewhere with internet access IS useful for people traveling in and out of restrictive regimes that ban transporting currency across the border (Back when we left USSR, the max anyone was allowed to carry across the border was $300. Imagine, a family with two kids, moving to US, only allowed to bring $300 with them. There are still countries like that, sadly)
It's not just restrictions on transporting physical currency, either. Some South American countries, for instance, limit how much you can spend in USD each year - effectively limiting the ability of their citizens to purchase online from the US. The big question is how Joe Average in a restrictive regime is going to acquire BTC in the first place. |

Sometimes the company would also spring for night serenades with a musical band, singing right in front of the home of the scammer, with loudspeakers, all about how the scammer hasn't paid his debt. Never would they resort to violence, of course.
Scammers paid. Oh, did they pay.
You know that's not a bad idea. It would cost nothing but time to make these scammers youtube hits. I'm sure we have people on here who could compose scammer serenades about them. |

Or paid. Would be cool if we launched a collective investigation to see who's funding that neo-nazi (yeah I said it) group. They literally go after ANYONE, and last time I checked this isn't South Park.
Libel laws do exist.

I can check the electoral roll and see whether there's a Ryan Walker listed for that address. I won't have time to go into the electoral office and do an online search until after the Christmas/New Year holidays, though.
He lists James Cook University on his FB profile so it's also possible that he's an international student (I'm slowly combing through his posts to see whether there's any spelling or phrasing indicating the likelihood of him being Australian).

ASIC itself is not a new technology. If you can think of another application where it would be useful, ASICs designed for that particular application probably already exist.
It's not like your ASICs aren't going to be useful for helping maintain the network, but they aren't going to be perpetual profit machines.

As for the repayments, we should ask the guy who was in for 75BTC, but my guess is that he has a shiny new Rolex on his wrist at the moment.
I hope dank's friend has got plenty of things left to sell next time dank's rent is due. If I had the particular bike dank seems so focused on these past few weeks I wouldn't lend it to him solely because I'd be afraid he'd try to run it on sperm instead of gas when he runs out of cash half way. Dank Spank, renewable energy at its finest. |

Oh dank, I miss the hookah thread, come on, entertain us better than your current insipid crap...
I'm sure dank's robo-trips acid dreams are endlessly entertaining to him. They seem to have distracted him from updating his lending thread to reflect this month's repayments. |
