circumcised is sign of cleanliness. so if you are not circumcised you smell yuck.

Soap.

It's no coincidence that circumcision originated in desert regions where its hot and water is at a premium. It really would have been beneficial. Not so much living in 21st century North America.

People buying coins when the price drops seems normal to me; doesn't mean its a conspiracy.

Though it could be.

They are doing this with the torrent network. Much better.

http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/bittorrent-chat.html

In what way is it much better? Is it the fact of a huge network already in place, or more?

So now ghash.io control 50% of the network, but they've turned off/hidden some of it so it looks better on a graph?

This doesn't inspire confidence.

They are most likely rumors , nothing do to with the price no worry .


If you'd read the links, you'd know that they are not rumours, but calls for a solution to the problem of the centralisation of mining.

Edit: Eid did you receive my message?


Nope Sad

eid, I have been able to communicate all right with you (and also with my other contacts). I only had problems to send messages to jaberwoc and to Parazyd ("Sending public key request" or "Waiting for their encryption key" errors). It seems that they might be doing something wrong...

I had problems with both of those too. Jaberwock seems to have fixed his now though as all my tests just went through.

Try sending me some test message.

BM-2cTxwdqn7xKkidwUX9BEvGKQJ4GDQuFJrG

sent


p.s. my BM address is now in my profile. Shame I can't change my vote  Smiley

After generating the address it is ready to accept messages rightaway? Or do I need to enable it? It is instant? I didn't receive any message yet.

Yes, the problem is my end. It's stuck on "sending public key request" for some reason. I'll try again.



eidt: now they both say "waiting for their encryption key". <shrug>

I'd like to use this but getting (some of) my friends/family to is another matter. Will download and have a look though. Thanks

I have been introducing Bitmessage to all my friends (and even clients) but only a few has shown any interest at all for it... but, guess what, I've also introduced bitcoin to all of them, and it has been the same... Bitmessage, privacy and Cryptocurrencies walk together: for us, cryptocurrencies users, it's something natural, but for the people who are still out of these novelties, it's something "weird and complicated"

regular people don't have any use of bitmessage, what would they need secrecy for?
who would they talk to as none of their friends (except you I guess Cheesy) are using bitmessage



I disagree; most people value privacy. It's why we put curtains on our windows.

Very true. Privacy is a human necessity. And it is very convenient for Google inc. USA inc. Bankers inc. etc that this false idea that "only criminals need privacy" is dominant.

The fact is that people have been conditioned to give up their privacy and become online exibitionists.

And here we are now in an Orwellian world, where people simply hand their rights away on a plate. Rights that, to be conquered, once have demanded the fight and the lives of many of our past heroes.

I guess one mans privacy is another mans secrecy.. conditioned indeed. I only hope with enough exposure and education, more people will begin to wake up and see what they have lost.



I have now sent a successful test message. I'll do my best to sell this to my friends.

Yes that sounds about right. Many of the people I know just don't see any point in using encryption for messaging and probably think of me as a paranoid nut (I may well be, but that's irrelevant)  Grin

I do think things are changing though as it's becoming increasingly obvious that online privacy without a little effort is a delusion.



I have installed bitmessage and sent a test message, but it is stuck on "waiting for their encryption key" for the last few minutes.


Keep up the good work!

377  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2014-06-12] PayPal’s Bizarre Bitcoin survey on: June 13, 2014, 08:09:11 AM
Don't get too much excited about this survey. This survey is a strong evidence to the fact that Paypal considers Bitcoin as one of their stronger rivals. They have no intention to integrate Bitcoin to their system. Rather they will step up their anti-Bitcoin lobbying.

Agreed.

"9/10 of people surveyed admitted Paypal was the better option". Quite pathetic really  Cheesy

A binding transaction took place.
Plaintiff has every right to attempt to recoup losses, and... I'd say, damages for his privacy breached here.

AMT, unprofessional man!

Signed; a neutral observer.

+1 from another neutral observer. I can't believe this is how a business conducts itself. Apart from not fulfilling its contracts and breaching its customers privacy, the OP sounds like a whiny 12 year old.


Shocking.

An upgrade to the latest client fixed this. I hadn't realised mine was out of date. Not sure what the problem was but it doesn't matter now.

So 14 replies, not even one posted a BTC address in this thread. Why not just send an address under your control to another user? Pretty sure admins can see PMs.

Yes, this is the way recommended by Theymos. You can send a PM to the account "DefaultTrust". Take a note of the message id (in the address bar) after you've sent it.
