Did a little looking. So the Ebola virus has killed something like 700 people ever.
It's not airborne, it is so deadly that it is self limiting anyway, as by the time people are infectious they are essentially bed ridden. The reason that it spreads so much in Africa is partly due to the fact that the bodies of dead people are washed by the family in some cases.
Why the fuss? Unless of course it is airborne then we are screwed.

Find a charity that is helping to give communities water or medicine in the third world. I'd recommend donating to a christian charity simply due to the potential for corruption being slightly lower.

Outbreak? More like Ebola scare. Distracts the peasant.
Could be a distraction, or rather simply being capitalized on. The human race has always gone through periods of devastation brought on by disease, let's hope that this is not one of them. |

Bitcoin will never see adoption as a way to pay for coffee and gas. That is not a bad thing for investors. The upside for bitcoin is massive, but it won't come from quotidian consumer transactions. It will come from transactions which need the blockchain, where bitcoin adds substantive value, or where its disruptive power displaces rentiers, and increases efficiency.
Other crypto will fill the gap, and become the donut-buyers crypto. It will be scalable to global cash transaction levels. It will work with cheap devices, transparently, and instantly. XCN is a big step in that direction.
You're probably right about other cryptos filling the gap. And I agree about other potential uses adding value. |

So my wallet didnt sync today ...
redownloaded blockchain from 1st post ...
resync ...
50 DMD gone ... O_o
why and how ...
Look through the last 5 pages or so. I used cryptonits block chain download and his settings. Had to use the 'repairwallet' command to recheck my addresses. I lost some from minting on the wrong chain. Good luck. |

Looking forward to seeing more! You certainly have a decent foundation to begin from.

I'm guessing juggalodarkclow is busy, I'm sure he'll be back to clear things up.

you're saying that you are not providing collateral because the forum is full of scammers... -_- seriously? lol
I'm offering loans, if someone has collateral that is. Maybe I wasn't clear in my OP |

I guess that Google have some kind of message filter and when they catch suspicious words like child pornography, they act accordingly to the low and regulations.
I think that benefit of this is greater than possible damage because child pornography is real issue in today's society and must be stopped.
You really think that invading everyone's privacy will make a difference. Open your eyes. |

Pretty dry pickings when collateral is required eh?

Sorry to ask but the two transactions at the top were part of the old chain here(not being accepted?): http://snag.gy/IGLwc.jpg |

Thanks cryptonit, things are looking good for me now. Looking forward to getting back to staking!

I believe this was true initially, not much money. But we are beginning to see the market open to solutions that make it slightly easier to use. Perhaps this will change in the next few years and we will see wider adoption. But those who are ignorant or not ethically opposed to the system that we all live in still shy away.
I'm not convinced that massive adoption is round the corner, because for the average fellow it is still hard to understand and therefore they do not see much utility in it. For the labourer you have cash in hand (for now), for the consumer you have contactless credit cards. As long as people think that everything is A-Okay (at least in the west) people will not rush in to protect themselves either. For example, I hear that Argentina has a fairly healthy small market for bitcoin... But I have no links to back this up so my statement could be over inflated.

How else would you suggest eBay/paypal make their money?
q I don't think anyone resents the fact they charge fees, it's that they are quite high. Granted they corner most of the market, so many people just put up with it, a better site will come along one day I would expect. |

It's interesting watching the public responding to systemic problems.
This ridiculous idea that we are automatically entitled to anything including interest makes for a disheartening narrative.
The UK is heading for such a fall.

Lost for words... Surely the costs of this outweigh any benefits to the store?

Does this end today or did it end yesterday? It says sunday August 2nd.
I believe it ended at some point in the last day. Hard to tell without checking as I'm on UK time. |

repairwallet got my coins displaying correctly as far as I can tell, though other commands can crash my client.
Think I must have synched to the wrong chain some how though. Not sure how that is possible, I must have screwed up the steps?
