Oh?  It's dishonest for people to eat the whole fish they catch?
If everyone else has to give away a little bit extra fish to compensate for the one stuffing the whole one down his gullet, yes.


Yet it's honest for thugs to threaten violence if you don't give them a cut of your fish?
I don't disagree with you, but should we pay taxes or not in the first place is beyond the scope of this thread.


And in regards to your last statement, there are not enough jobs for everyone, it is that simple.
Again I don't disagree, let's hope the situation improves.
What I was trying to point out is that it isn't always society's fault for a person being homeless as you claimed in your statement.
Another example: A gambling addict gambles away his possessions and eventually his home, now he's left on the street. Is this society's fault or his?

Every homeless person will have a different tale to tell, sometimes it's their fault for the situation, others it was out of their control.
Either way, it's a sad situation and they need all the support we can give them to get them back on their feet.

Quote
Arnold Abbott handed out four plates of food to homeless people in a South Florida park. Then police stopped the 90-year-old from serving up another bite.
"An officer said, 'Drop that plate right now -- like I had a weapon,'" Abbott said.

I can see their point... if you keep feeding the problem, it will never go away.

Give a man a fish...
Teaching a man to fish doesn't mean shit if you're going to take half of his fish away as a tax for teaching him.
There's only a few choices to pick:

1) Have no fish.
2) Earn an honest half a fish.
3) Earn an dishonest whole fish.
4) Steal a full or half fish.
5) Expect others to give you a free whole or half fish.

I've picked #2 in life. What about you?


Homeless people are not the problem.  The problem is our greed based society that makes people homeless when they can no longer offer the system anything.
I don't really agree with this blanket statement you've placed on every homeless person. Everyone homeless will have their own reasons for their situation.
Example: Let's say a blacksmith refuses to admit that the world doesn't need blacksmiths anymore, he stubbornly refuses to move with the times in another career. No work, no money, loses house etc...
Now, is this society's fault or the ex-blacksmiths?

I want a valid reason from a moderator or admin
Because your posts weren't related to your debt default.
Nothing else matters anymore.

Why not start a thread entitled "My serious plan to man-up and pay my debts instead of burying my head in the sand."?

I guarantee that one won't be censored or banned.
1304  Other / Meta / Re: Why was I banned for ten days for posting articles in politics and society? on: November 10, 2014, 08:05:36 AM
That was not the reason I was given for the ban.
The underlying reason for your ban was because of your greed.

Greed for attention.

You will never experience the ecstasy of true ego death at this rate, not while trapped in your endless cycle of greed.

In a PoS system, acquiring enough stake to attack will cost you astronomical amount of money
Well it didn't cost the government an astronomical amount to obtain those massive amount of bitcoins from the silk road bust.
Lucky bitcoin isn't POS or it'll be screwed.

the amount they acquired wasnt even more then 1-2%? you would minimum 51% of coins to attack the network..
What I was pointing out is that doesn't always take an astronomical amount of money to acquire a large amount of coins. It's just a long running myth.

I'm not anti-pos by the way.

Must be mad running an illegal drug website. Just the tiniest microscopic slipup could reveal your real identity. TOR isn't foolproof.

Transactions fees are voluntary and can be ignored if you choose.

Not if you use Armory

Blockchain's online wallet also forces such a fee.


I was refering to the bitcoin network.

Miners including you transaction in their block is voluntary and can ignore it if they choose.

1312  Other / Off-topic / Re: What is the best thing you've ever done in life? on: November 04, 2014, 09:24:15 AM
Having children.

That's the best thing?  Anyone can do it - even idiots - all they have to do is follow basic instinct.

No offence to you personally, but I think NOT having children would be a better thing than having children in this overpopulated world - takes more willpower.
OP's question is ambiguous. Does it mean best thing for me? Or best thing for world? Or best thing for others?
Yeah I agree, anyone can be a father, but not everyone can be a dad. Being a dad is the hardest thing I've ever done, but the most rewarding.
You don't need to worry about overpopulation. Mother nature will correct the imbalance, one way or another.

The "LTC on Gox" pump was actually one of the "best" and most effective pumps in crypto history.
I remember that one. LOL Cheesy. It just run and run that baby.

After crashes of bitcoin value,now it is at 321$ thats too low or almost dead.When it will go upto 600$?
I'm guessing you bought yours around the $600 mark?
1317  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Correct steps for a delayed transaction? on: November 02, 2014, 02:55:23 PM
Hhhm.. the nLockTime is not working.

I created a transaction with locktime = 630000 but it is still included in the blockchain

https://blockchain.info/tx/18b598bd76110151d6bea797d3c10bcfdc44454303da6d74fbd3f15c5e851d0a



If all TxIn inputs have final (0xffffffff) sequence numbers then locktime is ignored.

Just be aware that it is good practise to only use an address the once, as they are designed to be single-use tokens.
This is open for debate. This was something that satoshi said to do when QT was the only wallet service available. However since then many other wallet services have been created, many of which offer much greater coin control abilities

I was referring to the ecdsa public key being revealed when an address is reused after being spent. This is irrelevant to the type of wallet used.

Coins need to be issued into existence from trusted parties. 
Perhaps you should stick with your existing legacy fiat system if you want that.
