I like it Smoothie, but I'm just not ready to move to the middle of the Pacific.  |

I would take a thick black marker and write "Get Bent" on the application. Then I would mail it back, because that questionnaire is nuts. The law does require exchanges to do AML and KYC compliance, however this goes far beyond what is required. It is also important to understand that the protocol requires no identity at all and this is in no way a bitcoin problem. So if you don't like the legal requirements than YOU must change them. You would be better serving your efforts to send a letter to your elected representatives than writing here. Only YOU can change these laws by voicing your opinion and voting to show you mean it.

Nope. If we can all be listed then start with me. How many coins do I have?

I knew the MODS would find a way to move a perfectly relevant Bitcoin thread to a nobody reads section...
Where was this thread originally? Because this is the right section for it. OP is asking for an alternative client. And since I'm here, bitWallet is also a nice option, although I didn't test it extensively. Upon reflection, the mods were right to move my thread here. To be honest I rarely post in this section and sort of forgot about it. Cheers for the suggestion. |

Think about it, if there is no gun nor weapon in this world, then there would be reduced killings. So the ideal state is as such. But we all know it is not possible because people always desire to be strong, whether to defend themselves or to cause hurt to others - guns offer them that opportunity. Although it is impossible to ban guns in the world, but banning guns in a country is highly feasible and should be implemented because it has been done in so many countries and it clearly shows no purpose in allowing guns.
I'm sorry I do not agree. Gun control is unlikely to significantly impact murder or suicide rates, regardless what it allows or forbids. +1 If us who own guns thought that a ban would reduce violence then many of us would support such a move. However we know better than most that gun violence is not committed by us. It is almost always a crazy person or a criminal who could not legally own a gun in the first place. We simply do not enforce the laws we have now, and a murderer is not going to listen to your silly laws anyway. Want to stop these people? Get a gun. Anything less is just wishful thinking. |

I would love to visit Iran. I hear that despite the differences our governments have, the people of Iran like American visitors. How easy is it to get a visa? and could I travel around myself or does Iran require that I be part of a tour group? thanks for posting these photos! |

there is no such thing as rape within marriage, read your bibles
It's also not rape to knock up your daughter, read your bibles. |

This seems like a bad idea...
Really? What concerns you? I think if you read through the thread you will see that these are perfectly legal and far more supervised sales than anything else one can buy. |

Shhh. If they figure out what bitcoin really is they would pee their pants.

Politicians always go on about their rights. And I do mean their rights, not yours not the WBC, just theirs.

I have seen a million times these claims that bitcoin will be hacked or destroyed by evil banks and big governments. But you know what I have never seen? A realistic way that it could happen.

I can imagine a bit of both accumulation and distribution; that is to say, much like many other markets.
I think there will be the 99% / 1% kind of distribution all over again. Average people in a decade will likely be buying in mBTC while there are a couple of large holder companies that have been collecting all along without trying to disturb the public market. As I write that it reminds me of the gold market.
This. Average Joe bitcoiners see the price doing nothing, so they do nothing (i.e., don't buy, don't accumulate). But they are mistaken to think that MM's, large institutions, banks, etc. are not quietly accumulating right now. It's easy for them to accumulate off exchange directly from large miners (or perhaps they ARE the large miners? Hmm?) without moving the market one iota. Then they will run it up when they are ready. This happens in pretty much every equity/asset market on the planet. This is why over time in the future the majority of Bitcoin will likely be owned by the 1% wealthy oligarchs. Because Average Joes are just completely ignorant of how the financial world really works. You don't get wealthy doing nothing. There is always the "smart money". Free of politics, superstition, wacko conspiracy theories; people who look at math rather than opinion. When the price goes up I'm sure they will all be accused of cheating somehow. In reality they outplay the competition. |

Understood now , It's funny how I'am on bitcoin since like one year now and still don't know a lot of things about it .
thank you guys , so basically the easier it is the more difficult it is ? (I mean difficultly increase when it's easy to mine) and it changes every 2016 blocks if I got it right ? (not sure why this number specifically)
Here you can see the status of the network including the difficulty. I think it resets about every two weeks.  http://bitcoin.sipa.be/There is always a lot more to learn about bitcoin.  |

Regardless of how advanced any hardware will become, there is still only one block per ~10 minutes.
If blocks are being found faster than every 10 minutes, the difficulty will rise to match the hardware so that it still remains one block every ~10 minutes.
....
There really is nothing more to say than this. Super chips will just strengthen the network. |

One can buy user accounts at any level. I would bet that a senior account is less than 0.75BTC and so this was a profitable scam. If you insist on trading outside of an exchange then you absolutely MUST use escrow. I'm afraid that the only way to get your funds back is if the scammers decides to do it.

Banks are talking about bitcoin because they have no choice but to talk about it. They may not like BTC, but they HATE to leave money on the table.

Sorry, but a fence? That sounds like a third grader came up with the idea.  |

This will never happen with Bitcoin.... Governments and banks have been working together for years, and they manipulate the value of money through control. They will never relinquish control over that. If fiat collapse, the banks would have a Plan B and the governments will enforce it onto it's people. The banks are already working on their own ripp off version of the Blockchain. They will have a centralized Blockchain solution, controlled and manipulated by the Reserve bank, and they are owned by the banks. The people will become the puppets and they will control the strings. It's been like that for centuries, why would it change now? Satoshi has given them a new toy.... and they will use it for sure. Ripple...ripple...ripple..  You make it sound like the banks can do something about it. I assure you that they can't. I ONLY use bitcoin online. For me the war is long over and the banks lost. Banks are free to have their own alt chains, that's fine. But I will never use them and no bank nor government can do a damn thing about it. |

I think the banks have reached the "alt-coin" phase. They now see that bitcoin is far superior but still have hopes of a restart that they control. Keep trying bank guys, you are getting there. Eventually they will realize that no one wants their stupid alts.
