You guys are evil (and some of you may need counseling).  I like it.  I'm sure the guy probably has plenty of gay porn on his computer already, but that's my favorite idea so far. 

We're not evil! We're just people you'd never want as an enemy! Cheesy

Don't buy into cloud mining unless you have seen proof of hardware, that's all I'll advise, if they don't provide proper video footage or anything it's probably a scam.
604  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What is your opinion on Satoshi Nakamoto? on: November 21, 2015, 11:56:55 PM
Just because he posted a paper doesn't give people the right to fucking stalk him to his own house and post up his address and license plate as many reporters have done to other people they've claimed to be Satoshi.

I think he's a very clever guy who foresaw the utter shit storm unleashing a technology like Bitcoin could cause which is why he kept himself anonymous, it's the equivalent of discovering an extremely cheap and constant source of electricity or space flight so it's naturally going to cause a lot of governments to either turn on him or try to recruit him. As he clearly wants to have his privacy and not be bothered by anyone I wish people would leave him the fuck alone.

We've got the open source technology, he gave us the code freely, so lets focus on that instead of obsessing over who he is.
606  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Former Fed Chair Bernanke: Bitcoin's Real Problem is Its Anonymity on: November 21, 2015, 10:44:16 AM
I bet their real problem with Bitcoin is not anonymity. Their problems with Bitcoin are that they dont control it, cant reverse transactions and cant print it when they need more money.

That's exactly it, their problem isn't anonymity, they're just making excuses so they can come in and control it, anonymity to a lot of morons is this big scary thing that enables criminals and terrorists to hide from the law, they're trying to spread misinformation and scare people away from it.

Unfortunately the best way I've found is to let my brain just think as long as it wants, by which time it's usually 2:00am or 3:00am so I just stay up the rest of the night and reset myself the next day, just make sure you don't do it on a day you need to be somewhere lol.
608  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-11-19] Bitcoin Price Drops Following News of EU Threat on: November 20, 2015, 01:29:22 PM
How many times have we seen official crackdowns and bans of Bitcoin in the past 3 years? How many times has it stopped or killed Bitcoin?
All this means to me is CHEAP COINS... If the govts keep it up I'll have 100s by next March

Only smart people will think like you, the only one problem that i see with it, is that in the next years we will have less opportunities to buy cheap coins, like now... im not saying that there will never be more crackdowns and bans ( like with fiat money ), what im saying is that in the upcoming years you will never see a price like bitcoin have now...

Can confirm I'm stocking up on Bitcoin again with what money I can get as I'm convinced that these prices won't last, I don't think this drop is anything to do with the EU and if it is it will just be short term, nothing will stop Bitcoin in the long run no matter how much the aged beauracrats wag their fingers in disapproval.

That's insane, it is actually becoming a running joke now how much these Islamists scream about racism and their friends agree with them when they're that anti-semitic.

611  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-11-17] Satoshi Nakamoto Not Eligible for Nobel Prize on: November 17, 2015, 11:11:12 PM
Who gives a fuck about the nobel prize anyway? When you see the kind of people who win them why bother? Considering how rich Satoshi must be ( I bet he must have bought Bitcoin back when it was barely a dollar ) any monetary benefits are pointless and he'd only gain a lot of unwanted attention if he revealed himself.
612  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Any Islamic State supporters here? on: November 17, 2015, 02:09:05 PM
Anyone who supports that criminal organization should be suspended or banned on this forum.  Angry

Why? Nobody should be banned this forum for their free thoughts. You can write opposite arguments, but you can't censor.

I know there are ISIS supporters here, fuck ISIS and all terrorist groups.

Exactly, I find that people who claim to free speech and then immediately try to censor people from speaking because they find stuff distasteful are major hypocrites.
613  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-11-14] Bitcoin price scyrockets to $2200 on Gemini Exchange on: November 14, 2015, 11:16:31 AM
Not convinced at all, if this is the Winklevoss twins we are talking about they may be engaging in price manipulation, I'd personally avoid that exchange purely on the basis there were trades executed at that price while all the others remained low. Don't forget, these guys are with the establishment, they have family connections in the financial sector so you should view anything they do with suspicion.
614  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Earth-like world could be 'most important planet found outside solar system' on: November 14, 2015, 11:10:33 AM
None of this is important, although it might be very exciting to the dreamers.

Why isn't it important? 'Cause odds are that nobody in the near future will ever go there.

The moon shots back in the '60s were all a lie. We never went to the moon. NASA BSed us and scammed us by faking it all.

Shut down the space program. It's all a lie. If anyone can do it on his own - a private company - let him do it. But stop wasting the taxpayer's money to enrich the fat-cats who have lied to us for decades.

what makes you think it was a lie. and why are you against learning about the universe we live in? science has brought the human race so far and surely in my opinion the money is being well spent.

I'll tell you why, the more we learn about the universe and how it really works the more obselete his religion becomes this is why often have a small swarm of religious posters on these threads trying to claim the scientists are just making this shit up to get funding. By the way as other people have pointed out in the Guardian comments page it isn't Earth like at all and the newspaper is just spreading misinformation about what the scientists have said like they always fucking do.
615  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Spanish PM dismisses Catalan secession proposals as act of provocation on: November 13, 2015, 09:15:33 PM
Yes, provocative and selfish, too. I was supporting an independent Scotland, but Catalonia is a part of Spain, and it couldn't live without the rest of Spain. Some catalans think they will emulate Switzerland, but they're very wrong, they would not get any foreign investment, and they don't have any natural resources like Scotland has in the North Sea. Also, in case of trouble, the ECB won't have any other choice but to let them die.

Spain as a whole is a sinking ship of bad financial decisions so I dont blame catalan for wanting to leave. Its not like they would do any better though

No, don't say that. The Spanish economy had the fastest growth in Europe during the second quarter. I know it's not enough considering how bad they were, but they're on the right path. It would be scary for Catalonia to move away from it. I don't see investors following them, and it would make things much more complicated for all companies who have part of their business in Catalonia, and the other regions of Spain.

I don't know about the whole Catalan being seperate from Spain thing, but it has had it's routes in Anarchism since the spanish civil war, I think it's incredibly undemocratic and extremely dishonest to deny people the ability to leave a country if they actually want to even if they're only a province. If Wales or Northern Ireland wanted to leave the UK I wouldn't stop them from doing it, besides, self-governance is nothing to do with selfishness, I don't know how that got brought up, why the fuck would you stay with a failing country if you know you could do things better?
616  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-11-11] CCN: Researcher Has Bitcoin Stolen off His Back in a Public Experim on: November 12, 2015, 04:12:55 PM
That's not the point I'm making at all, they're trying to make the claim that because they posted up their private key Bitcoin itself isn't secure when in reality no one with any sense would do that, so really it's just an attempt to try and smear Bitcoin than find any legitimate flaw with it.
617  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-11-11] CCN: Researcher Has Bitcoin Stolen off His Back in a Public Experim on: November 12, 2015, 12:01:16 PM
That experiment is utterly stupid and biased, if he hadn't put his key out it would never have been stolen, people don't leave their bank details out for everybody to see and they certainly don't give out their bank PIN. These people are just trying to do a hit piece on Bitcoin like so many other fucking morons.

Thanks! That reminds me of when there were issues like this with Facry and they just hadn't bothered putting in the option to disable it.
619  Other / Off-topic / Re: Fallout 4 on: November 10, 2015, 10:54:37 AM
So what is the consensus on the game so far for those that have actually played it? Is it worth playing?

It's totally worth playing.

Absolutely, I was terrified I'd have to wait for a patch at first but it's actually very good, my only complaint as other people are noting everywhere is there is a weird unreal tournament style mouse lag with the mouse movement, but I expect they'll patch that if enough people complain.

I think I have it running now! This is an old cliche but I dowloaded the absolute latest AMD drivers and it suddenly ran.
