Why would you use a blackmarket as an online wallet in the first place?

Have you included your energy bill in the math? If you're paying more for running the machines than you're earning from them, then don't run the machines and use the difference in the bill to buy bitcoins directly.

drug dealers and their websites are not to be trusted.
But were the owners of the site actually selling drugs themselves? This is more like a casino shutting down and the boss running away with the vault AFAIK...

Are you guys seeing this?

https://blockchain.info/address/1CbR8da9YPZqXJJKm9ze1GYf67eKAUfXwP

Aftermath of the scam: people sending him more BTC.

Quite funny.
Are you sure that is coming from other people and not coin tumblers or something of the sort?

Lots of people begging for coins there:)
And this:

Public Note: Algerian prinCe, pUre unOBTAINium SHARE, B4 Culture requIres me to pay 5.55 btc, RegretFUlly Gorillaz ate wallet, leNd me COIN i will RE-PAY you ASAP, trust U share with fellow *Wo*MAN IN NEED... Know U red-it & know Y wii-CU
Hm... Yeah, i'm seeing those now... Hm, any proof those aren't his sock puppets or something like that?

Isn't that people sending coins to track what he does with them (even if he rinses them) and see where the money goes to - acts as a marker....
I was gonna say that is smart, but then i realized we already know his address, any coin that leaves that address works as a marker already...right?

Do we know how much of that was from the users and how much was the site's profit?
186  Economy / Speculation / Re: Snoop Dogg Endorses BitCoin ! on: December 03, 2013, 11:01:38 PM
It's not surprising that Snoop Dog supports Bitcoin.  Bitcoin can help struggling industries like the music industry buy putting the money in the hands of artists and not the corporations.  All and all this is pretty good news I'd say.

The music industry is struggling? Hmm... that's news to me. And the musicians are just going to do all the marketing and promotion on their own? What's stopping them from doing that now and accepting credit cards or paypal? Isn't that what platform like iTunes... are already doing?
They are "struggling" 'cause they are cooking the books to not pay what they should to the artists...

I dabble in drones, and can say the tech to do this is EASILY here now and it's not even hard to do. I could build one that could land your pizza in your front yard or sidewalk from 20 miles away no problem. Building one that can analyse the surrounding area and not land on top the family cat is a bit harder, but still easily do-able, tho not with my primitive skills. I could build one that uses a 4G link to steam view and request confirmation to land from an operator though, thus manually avoiding chopping fluffy. If I can do that with no engineering experience, imagine what a team of skilled people could put together in no time.

Anyway, the problem is FAA regulation. They've been saying for several years they're going to introduce new regulation supporting drone use. They need to get on this, as it's the future. Hell Iceland has a dedicated drone airport. Japan uses them for ag mainstream, even places in Africa have a drone framework. We're stuck in the stone age because of a government basically says "anything we don't specifically say is legal is thus automatically illegal." (USSA anyone?) Then drags their feet to do anything at all.

I've spent several months this year in Japan and I can't say that I've seen any drones in the skies... but maybe I'm not looking in the right places. It's a cool idea, but surely there would be many accidents, no? Aside from kids and pets being chopped up by the propellers, won't they have mechanical issues or collisions midair with birds and such and occasionally fall to the ground? It probably would suck to have a 200 pound drone fall on you while mowing the lawn.

"A dog has been killed today from an amazon drone" and voila. The technology is over. The problem is that since they want to use them for home delivery they can't use lets say specific air corridors for example.

I would have the packages dropped from like 10-20ft up with a cheap parachute. I bet it'd still be gentler than UPS, and 5lbs won't cause serious injury from a few feet up if the parachute fails. Keeps the drone safe from anyone trying to capture it too.
What is the range of a DIY microwave gun built out of a dismantled microwave oven?

I wonder how long before there is a comedy movie about a couple of college kids that hack into a bitcoin blackmarket and make themselves filthy rich, but then spend the rest of the movie running away from both dangerous drug dealers and angry tech-savy internet lynch mobs...

Shouldn't be hard to detect faulty propellers or the close to zero-G you get from a free-fall and then deploy a parachute. Hell, there are even quads capable of controlled flight with 2 propellers damaged ( http://www.ted.com/talks/raffaello_d_andrea_the_astounding_athletic_power_of_quadcopters.html , relevant bit starts at 06:14 , but the whole thing is quite enjoyable ).

Aren't the majority of people imprisoned in the US due to drug related charges actually users with only small amounts of drugs found with them?

I've been reading lots of complaints about Coinbase lately...

So basically, nerf the self-moderation functionality so that it will only appear to be present? Why not just remove it and rename the "Ignore" link to "Delete"?

Gh/s é menos importante que Gh/joule. Não adianta nada ter uma maquina super rápida se vc precisa pagar uma fortuna na conta de luz pra usar a maquina.

Pra decidir se vale a pena minera, vc tem que ver se vc não vai acabar tendo prejuízo ao invés de lucro. Na maior parte dos casos hoje em dia, a não ser que vc tenha eletricidade gratuita ou extremamente barata, vale mais a pena investir diretamente em Bitcoins ao invés de tentar minera.

Encryption wouldn't help if you're talking with an undercover agent; and if you sign it they'll will have further proof it was you that wrote it.

OMG i feel sooooooo lonely as a 15-year-old Bitcoin girl... Sad
A lonely 15-years-old looking for company in a money forum? Sounds like a fed or an "investigative reporter" looking for an easy way to snatch (no pun intended) some pedos...
