What do you think about Peter Thiel, the PayPal founder? Funds seasteading, calls himself a libertarian, attends Bilderberg and doesn't afraid of anything.
He doesn't run paypal anymore, so you can't exactly criticize him for not trying to fix paypal. But, he's the kind of libertarian who does thing like fund seasteading, immortality research, and so on. So he's like a lot of techno-libertarians, only richer. |

Kiba, do you do some 3D modeling (blender and stuffs like that) ?
Not at this time. |

So, voting = tyranny with no alternative? Then, what isn't tyranny in your book? Contracts? What if you set up contractual systems that include voting, is that tyranny?
No, I said a democracy like you recommend have very poor incentive structures. Voting is fine when it is aligned with proper incentives. Of course, for a libertarian, it have to be voluntary as well. |

I don't believe that democracy (i.e. voting) is a "tyranny by the majority" if you set up standards (like human rights) that apply always and are not decided on a case by case basis (which is what people mean when they talk about a republic).
Nonsense, the republic is just slower at killing itself than a pure democracy. Standard by itself does nothing without proper incentives to enforce the rule of law. |

Courts, like factories, are corruptible institutions.

A market can't predict the future, but it can see a general trend. The fact that people are spending btc is disproving the deflationary spiral myth, and if it's not being spent now, it will later, which will fuel growth as accumulated capital.
So true! I am accumulating as much bitcoin as I possibly can right now. I already sold advertising, writings, programming, drawing, etc. I even got tipped! |

The bounty is concluded.
Now, I can start work on my next project....maintaining that google chromium extension.

I think it's "tend toward".
The reason why this is because, as the market get larger, the more way we can send individuals to try and solve all kind of problem.
Lot of those individuals are going to fail, but somebody will figure out something and gain a profit.
We have an extremely small economy, worth only about 1.97 million USD.

Conversion of USD(32.77) to BTC(82.13) is successful as purchased at the rate of .39 USD. See Keefe on #bitcoin-otc at freenode if you want to know if the transaction took place.
Chaord is the only one who request a refund so far. 44% was the calculation of his share based on his contribution divided by everyone's contribution. 100 / 255, respectively.
He offers to spilt his half with me. So, 22% it was. 82.13 * .22 is 18.0686. So it shall be 18.07 BTC.
Jorgen's refund status is still unknown. Everyone else declined.
I will post further status update after Chaord and Jorgen were taken care of.

so all of this "get a hobby", "learn culture"... you should be doing that anyway to be a well rounded person! not because you think chicks will like you for it- otherwise it's just a false dichotomy.
autodididacticism. |

They've asked me out before. I politely say "no thanks, I'm straight" and consider it flattering.
Plausible scenario. |

The advertising works by bidding for BTC per minute display, instead of BTC per click. Comparable to the way Project Wonderful works.
Wrong. It's hourly not per click. |

How is it any better or worse than any other form of prejudice? Don't take the high road here, everyone has their cultural taboos. I didn't say anything about this part of this thread, because I know that I have my own.
I suspect the only thing you'll be seeing from me is "WOAH! That's taboo" or just being a little jumpy. However, as long it is an voluntary act, I can't do anything about it. Now, I may not be the world's most consistent ethical actor...so I expect others to keep me in line when I got out of hand. Yesterday, somebody resort to personal attacks. Discipline is on the menu. |

I'll be taking over the maintenance-ship of this project. My offer still stand, but if the task get completed by me, I simply move the bounty to somewhere else.
Otherwise, I will be accepting donation once I got all the other business taken care of.
