I am using Kasper. I think that they are the no.1 anti-virus available. And pretty affordable as well.

Nope. I owned shares of BTCT-PT and Litecoinglobal (i.e the shares of the exchanges themselves). These shares were not transferred to anywhere.

From what I've heard, only one individual (Satoshi ?) is having more than 100 K coins. There is another wallet which is tagged "DPR seized coins", but some people are saying that it actually belongs to BTC-E.

I was talking about the average trade volume. To cross the 10K mark, one should trade ~11 BTCs. I was talking about normal people (not day-traders) who purchase all their BTCs in a single trade.

And there are only around 60,000 people who own more than 10 BTCs.

It was his own mistake. He was using a brain wallet, and by default the remaining portion of the 0.05 BTC was converted to transaction fee. This fee was divided by 400+ pool members, although a few were honest enough to give them back.

Rather than stop working, I'd pack my bags and move to some saner country. Just like what Gerard Depardieu did after Hollande raised taxes to 75%. 

Stalin held intense and deep hatred for the jews. That's why he created the Autonomous district (not even a province) of Birobidzhan. He hoped that all the Jews of Moscow and Ukraine will migrate to that wasteland, which is full of swamps and taiga. To his surprise, only about 5,000 Jews actually moved to the district (0.3% of the Soviet Jewish population).



I condemn the apartheid practices done by Israel. But the Israeli treatment of their minorities are much much better than the treatment of indigenous minorities by Muslim Arab nations such as Egypt and Iraq. Is there a single Muslim nation in the world which treats the minorities fairly?


Madagascar and Uganda - no. Jews will be a tiny minority. Women in Uganda have an average of 7 children. I don't think the Jews will migrate there unless they can compete with the Ugandans demographically.  

Alaska.... well Alaska will be much better under the Russian rule. Give Alaska back to Russia. The Russians are still cursing Alexander II for his bloody mistake. At that time he was so high on crystal meth that he decided to give away 70 million hectares of land for just a few bucks.

So if I want to buy Bitcoins worth $1,000 I will have to pay some $1,250 (1,000+ 25%) ?

That is definitely ridiculous. The Norwegian parliamentarians has gone nuts.

"embit" is such an ugly name. I don't want to use that. There was a proposal to use the term "Gox". Sounds great.

That is another first for the Bitcoin. I don't care whether he is having any chance of winning the elections or not. I'll donate at least 0.01 BTC for this bold step.

Yes. I found it quite reliable. And rpietila is  a reputed member here, with lots of experience.

But then the Ebay seller was asking more than $450 for 6,000 coins. At that time, the going rate was less than $5 for the same.

Remember. This thread is the first and the only post by the OP so far. And the link he is trying to promote is currently taken down.

No. It did. The first coin was mined sometime in January 2009.

That is terrific news. However, the fight is far from over. Greedy bankers (esp. JP Morgan) can go to any extent to prevent Bitcoin becoming mainstream.

There is a detailed thread somewhere in Bitcointalk. Right now I can't find it. The OP used some kind of reliable methodology to tag wallets owned by the same individual.

Kazakhstan (similar to Ukraine) was once considered as the bread basket of the USSR. Agriculture is mostly developed in the Northern and Eastern regions, which once had a majority of Russians, Ukrainians and Germans (these regions originally belonged to Russia, but Stalin forcibly merged them with Kazakhstan in order to create ethnic Russian majority). The Muslim Kazakhs lived mostly in the Southern and Western parts, depending on dairy farming.

When Kazakhstan became independent in 1991, the whites began to leave the nation because of racial prejudice. The number of Russians and Ukrainians have reduced by more than half, while more than 90% of the Germans have emigrated. Kazakhs are not interested in agriculture and most of the grain farms are now lying barren and fallow.

The Germans were Kazakhstan's best farmers. There were around 1 million of them until 1991 in North Kazakhstan.

Capital gains tax in Norway is around 35%. It is way too high, compared to that in Germany. I don't think that BTC owners are happy with this in Norway.

When you spend from a brainwallet, you must spend ALL your funds. The difference goes into the fee.

Too bad for him.... 20 BTC is 18,000 USD at today's rate. 

It is just 2 weeks old. So there should not be any major changes.


No. It is not the number of wallets. It is the number of people.
