Wow!  This round is taking off

Wow!  Nice!
I'm putting in some too.

Jon recently did an interview with Jay at Coinabul... just posting to let you guys know.  You might be interested in it.

That interview sure didn't go well for Jay...

Anyone notice that the hash rate slope is strangely positive recently?  Difficulty is projected to go up and we reached 1% hashrate growth for the first time since August!

They should.  That doesn't mean they will.  If they don't, do we simply exclude them from Bitcoin?
Interest in BTC is dropping in the outside world... and what are we doing about it?!

It's impossible to prove for sure that anyone is 18+ using Bitcoins... so if it's illegal to sell adult items to minors, I don't think your site would be legal. :\

Heh, I didn't change it, it's OK.

edit: Want a 1 BTC freeroll? nobody's taken it today.

We've changed the expiration after 10 deposits rule to 24 hours.  Hopefully whoever made "expiration rule sucks" will be happy.

Still nobody wants a btc?

Yes, you're free to say it.  Doesn't mean we should be doing so.
This thread is not an attempt to get the mods to ban/kick people who post such replies. 
Not all people who we want using Bitcoin are active forum members!  If you want people adopting the technology, you have to be friendlier.

In that thread, a noob asked a rather stupid, trivial question.  kokjo immediately responded with this:


Awesome! "Fuck you!" is sure to bring more people to Bitcoin!
Was the question easily answerable by FAQs? Yes, of course.  Did a thread need to be posted about it? No. 

However, would a good customer service rep handle that question that way!?  Is this approach likely to help bring "normal people" (aka grandmas) to the Bitcoin community?  Even though the question is stupid, we can't brush off every stupid question like that.  It's rude and the "customer" will leave.   

I suspect our internet-forum approach to "customer service" isn't helping Bitcoin growth at all.  Although this forum is not official and is also not a customer service page, it's really the only place some people know about where they can ask questions.  Let's all be more polite and welcoming.

Someone posted a great chart comparing troll activity (measured by Nagle's posting volume) vs price.  Every time it goes up they go away, it seems.

I'm not sure how Silk Road works, but when they give you a receiving address, you can withdraw your btc from mtgox into that address and you're done.

Here we go again

No one reading XKCD is dumb enough to copy that passphrase...
..right!? lol

Today is the day!
I think I might've bought a ticket or two.  Here's hoping...

That Atlas poem had me laughing.
