Besides Youtube, Stumble Upon is a nice way to pass the time.


It's not recommended if you got an gambling addiction or otherwise get addicted easily though; the mechanism of clicking a button and randomly getting somthing you may or may not like, with more stuff you like the more you use it, then repeating, can be quite addictive... it's only a few steps above being a cowclicker...

Unless the drones just airdrop the food, this could easily be a huge money sink. Too easy to just jam the transmission and then get the drone; a drone is worth way more than most foods you would be delivering, even if just for selling the parts.

Are you sure those white parts weren't just dehydrated seawater? (in other words, salt)

The other day i saw a screenshot somewhere (i don't remember) of a program (i don't remember what it is called) that showed a spectrograph of the price, essentially showing how big variations are in each frequencies over time. But it was almost just a decorative piece. A whole screen dedicated to that, with clear indications of the frequencies and amplitudes would be nice.

This is the kind of crap that makes me want to stop using BTC altogether in case I get arrested for unwittingly distributing offensive content under UK laws (I don't wish to get jailed for using BTC just because some idiot decided to post CP messages in the blockchain).The only thing I like about BTC is the easy way of sending money to and from other people (using only an address rather than typing in IBANS,card details,giving my address,etc with normal banks)

If this is true (and not just a rumour) then I'll have to stop using BTC in UK which is a shame.

I have questions about this:
Does the code actually load the offensive sites?
If this code can load these sites,how could the developers fail to see this happening and apply appropriate measures to remedy this issue?
How is it possible to post messages in the blockchain as I'm rather confused as to how this can work?

From what i've heard, all they put in the blockchain were URLs; and i'm not even sure if they are in plaintext.

The fact that it's URLs means that I can get arrested for unwittingly distributing or relaying CP content simply because of what some person thought was funny to put in there.Whether it's plain text or not,it'll still be enough to get me in trouble if I continue to use BTC simply because of the CP message in the blockchain.

Thanks for clearing that up.I think it's time to finish earning BTC (by working or selling things off),then cashout for good and delete all my BTC clients/accounts to stay out of trouble then.
I'm not a lawyer, but the URLs themselves are just directions, they aren't the actual child abuse images. Though i guess some countries are really fucked up and might make even directions to where criminals can be found be a crime...


Btw, if you're leaving Bitcoin, please send me your coins before you delete your wallet.

Code:
1

There, now you've witnessed CP and must be punished even harder than the people that physicly abused kids.





Anything can be decoded into anything with the right algorithm.

A stable sine wave of about 20USD of amplitude and about 15 minutes of wavelength for a few days would be nice...



The Bitcoin market is more polar.

i.e.



Wolfram Alpha isn't being cooperative, what does that looks like?

What do you expect with that address?

i dont expect anything. just wanted to point out, he has about 500 000 XRP.

also, it is obviously a vanity address. how can you generate vanity addresses for a close source coin?
The client isn't closed, perhaps it got a address validation algorithm inside?

What does slippage mean on theBTC clarkmoody page?
I think its how much money is wasted due to rounding error...not sure though...

At least you don't have to pay like on the wiki...

And in case you didn't got it from my previous msg, i'll spell it out for you, think of how many other things have been made illegal to transfer over the internet, and how often people have still done it...




And besides, what is the point of making destroying the world illegal if there won't be any law enforcement to enforce the law after the world is destroyed...



Like with Child Abuse, the password is the wrong thing to be made illegal.
297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: WTF - Kiddy Porn in the Blockchain for life? on: May 07, 2013, 09:11:14 PM

This should teach everyone how absurd it is to make data illegal

Information does not commit crimes

There is a password that is going to be sent across a network that activates a bomb that will wipe out civilization as you know it. Everyone knows the password and anyone can destroy the world at any moment if anyone is allowed to send that password in an email, instant message, etc.

Do you:

A) Keep to your beliefs and count your remaining seconds on earth; or
B) Agree to make that password illegal (and block it across the internet) to save everyone's lives.

Hurry up!

You must be new to the Internet...

Ugh, this is a real kick to the stomach.

Also it really kills me to see how many of these websites exist. =( 


Think of it this way, the easier it is to find evidence of the abuses, the easier it is to catch the true criminals.
