The term most often used who go around claiming Bitcoin will replace the dollar, collapse governments, and end wars is "Pseudo-Libertarian"

Out of curiosity, what makes them "pseudo" libertarians?  Is that different from regular libertarians?

Who uses the term?

Thanks, m0gliE!  5.0 BTE received, and 1.0 Litecoin sent.

Another auction is running now - no bids so far.

I can spread the word and raise the stakes a bit to 5.0 BTE.

Winner, m0gliE, 5.0 BTE!  Sounds like you got a deal. Smiley  I'm PM'ing you with a Bytecoin address.

Another auction has started as of 00:00 UTC.

Would be great to get this up and running again as proof of resilience.

It is still going, and I've done some experiments with updating the wallet.  Not ready to release anything yet, but I am currently running an updated daemon.

I think I should rent my signature out for Bytecoin again!

Yes, I think so - Put (nearly) whatever you like in my signature on bitcointalk for a week, for 10.0 BTE.  PM to make an offer.

Are you talking to yourself? Sorry but that post is Hilarious.

No, I was making an offer (at the time) to anyone who wanted to accept.  Someone did accept; I'll probably do it again.

I've been pretty satisfied with coinbase over all.  Your complaint is hard to narrow down - is the problem that your orders are getting cancelled?  If circle doesn't do that, why not just use circle?

Still wanting to sell 1.0 Litecoin to the highest bidder in Bytecoin.  Post your bid here.  Highest bid wins - you could win with a fraction of a Bytecoin, at this point.
50  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is satanic and Satoshi is lucifer! My uncle claims! on: October 20, 2014, 01:56:52 AM
Ok guys, first things first
Lets get one thing out of the way.
One world government & one world currency already exists...

Your mind, body, soul & spirit is the currency with which the one world government contracts with.

In the form of a Cestui Que Vie Trust: www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/Cha2/18-19/11

In 1666, in London, during the black plague, & great fires of London. Parliament enacted an act, behind closed doors, called Cestui Que Vie Act 1666.

The act being debated,the Cestui Qui act, was to subrogate the rights of men and women, meaning all men and women were declared dead, lost at sea/beyond the sea. (back then operating in admiralty law, the law of the sea, so lost at sea).

The state (of London) took custody of everybody and their property into a trust, the state became the trustee/husband holding all titles to the people and property, until a living man comes back to reclaim those titles and can also claim damages. (Reclaim using UCC 1 and PPSA)

The rule of the use of CAPITAL LETTERS used in a NAME: when CAPITAL letters re used anywhere in a NAME this always refers to a LEGAL ENTITY/FICTION, COMPANY or CORPORATION no exceptions.

e.g. John DOE or Doe: JANE (PASSPORT, DRIVER LICENSE, MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE and BIRTH CERTIFICATE)

CEST TUI QUE TRUST: (pronounced setakay) common term in NEW ZEALAND and AUSTRALIA or STRAWMAN common term in USA or CANADA is a LEGAL ENTITY/FICTION created and owned by the GOVERNMENT whom created it. I repeat owned by the GOVERNMENT.

Legally, we are considered to be a FICTION, a concept or idea expressed as a NAME, a symbol. That LEGAL PERSON has no consciousness; it is a juristic PERSON, ENS LEGIS, a NAME/word written on a piece of paper.

This traces back to 1666, London is a state, just like Vatican is a state, just like Washington DC is a state. The Crown is an unincorporated association. Why unincorporated, its private, the temple bar is in London, every lawyer called to the "bar" swears allegiance to the temple bar. You can't get called, without swearing this allegiance. The Crown already owns North America and everything in it.

Your only way out is to reclaim your dead entity (strawman) that the Crown created, become the trustee of the cest tui qui trust and remove yourself from the admiralty law that holds you in custody.



In court all you have to do is identify yourself, the clerk, the judge & prosecutor, put them under oat, bind a contract with them. present your live birth record under common law jurisdiction, claim your mind, body, soul & spirit FOR GOD, UNDER GOD, then authorize the clerk to handle the accounting and dissolve the constructive trust.



Here is a lengthy pastebin i just posed for you guys to read over completely before you respond to me: http://pastebin.com/USf47R8p


Even if the state actually had all of those rules, they wouldn't actually follow them.  No way out there, even if you follow all these "laws."

I'm simply a proponent of freedom. There is nothing complex about it.

How do you define "freedom"?

I find this to be a pretty clear, compelling, and consistent definition:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muHg86Mys7I

To make it even shorter, I believe in having the freedom to do what you want, but not the freedom to do what you want at the expense of somebody else's freedom.  I think that's the only way to be consistent about it.

Quote
There is nothing complex about it....
Debates about abortion (for example) can make a "proponent of freedom" quickly run into some complexity.

They certainly do but most such debates honestly do not affect most of us on a daily basis.

Plus, freedom still offers some compelling answers.  Suppose you believe abortion is murder and should be prosecuted.  If we are all free and I do not believe in prosecuting abortion, then you don't have the freedom to prosecute abortion at my expense.  That would greatly curtail your ability to cause trouble on the subject.  Meanwhile, those who do not believe abortion is murder might very well believe in providing free aid to those who are prosecuted for it, so you might want to count your costs before you get into a war on the subject.

There comes a point where you have to start questioning whether or not you should be trying to right every wrong, with the use of force, using everyone else's resources as your bank account.
55  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are Bitcoiners Neoliberals? on: October 18, 2014, 03:27:46 AM
I don't believe in selling state "owned" enterprises, goods, and services, because it would not be right for the state to profit from theft.  A better strategy would be abandonment, in which case the services and property could usually be claimed by those who are actually working with it.  Sounds a little bit Marxian, but it was actually proposed by Murray Rothbard, among others.  I saw a variant of this in the fascinating novel Time Will Run Back by Henry Hazlitt, and I believe about 4-5 years ago there were several hypothetical "end of the state" articles on strike-the-root.com which featured accounts of former state employees homesteading abandoned sate resources and putting them to productive use.

Before discovering the idea of the state simply abandoning its ill gotten gains, my personal preference was that the state should auction off all of its goods for fiat money and then destroy the fiat money.  That idea might hold some interest for Bitcoiners. Smiley

I don't think this thread really belongs under "Bitcoin discussion" when there is a politics forum.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Cryonicists justify preservation under such conditions by noting recent advances that allow brain resuscitation after longer periods of ischemia than the traditional 4-to-6-minute limit, and persistence of brain structure and even some brain cell function after long periods of clinical death.[34][35] They argue that definitions of death change as technology advances, and the early stages of what is called “death” today is actually a form of ischemic injury that will be reversible in the future

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryonics#Ischemic_injury

No religious statements in that paragraph.

I suppose cryogenics are only a problem depending on what the motive is.  I can understand the curiosity and desire to study this and there could definitely be some medical benefits to consider.  But I think the goal for many is to find a way to "eternal life" on our own strength and that is the main conflict with Christianity.

The same could be said about how people live their life in general.  Since I don't believe in psychic powers I don't think we can really read a person's motivation unless they tell us what it is (and even then they could be lying - a seemingly devout Christian might have terrible undisclosed private motivations and sin).  Typically nobody probes into the motives of a doctor trying to rescue a patient nor accuses him of trying to achieve a goal forbidden by God, at least not in this day and age.  And typically I think Christians would encourage everyone to have compassion for the sick person who wants to live longer rather than encouraging him to question and second-guess his motives.

Even when a non-Christian doctor saves a non-Christian patient the average Christian doesn't speak out against the act of saving the life - even if both doctor and patient absolutely do want to live a life in conflict with Christianity.

I personally think that one day cryonics will be viewed by Christians just like any other life-saving technology.  Sure it can be used for good or evil, but why should evil be automatically be presumed?  It's not inherent in the technology.

By the way, it's "cryonics," not "cryogenics."  Most scientists who practice cryobiology don't actually want to be associated with cryonicists. Smiley
59  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is satanic and Satoshi is lucifer! My uncle claims! on: October 17, 2014, 08:08:45 PM
@OP.

My husband and I are very devout Christians.  My husband is even a Biblical scholar.  He enjoys reading the Bible in Greek just to make sure he is understanding it correctly.  I met him at a Christian college.  I am even going on a mission trip to India in a few weeks to work with an organization called Harvest India.  I am also well known on this forum as being a very vocal Christian. All that said, I am very for Bitcoin.

Sure there are people involved that are not Christian.  We are "in the world not of the world" right?  And yes, I think that Bitcoin could certainly be the "one world currency" that is talked about in the Bible (all the more proof of it's success).  However, in scripture it is not the "one world currency" that is evil.  It is the control of the people by putting a mark on hands to buy and sell by the antichrist, whoever that ends up being (perhaps Satoshi if at some point he comes out of hiding to "save" the world from fianacial ruin?) that is the problem.  I believe it is incredibly important that Christians purchase as much Bitcoin as they possibly can.  Bitcoin is not owned by any government and it is peer-to-peer and it just might give Christians the flexibility needed to make choices when the day comes that we are being told we have to have a mark to buy and sell.  Having some coins that are not within reach of governments might be the only thing we can access before being put to death or in jail.  Just something to think about.

It kind of reminds me of how so many Christians were against movies when Hollywood started out.  If anything, it would have so much better if Christians had just embraced movies and came out with more wholesome movies at that point.  Instead they feared it and because of that the industry has now swayed generations of people in less wholesome directions.  

We need to be "cunning as serpents and innocent as doves."  Using Bitcoin for God's purpose is where my heart is at and I would encourage your uncle to at least pray about it more seriously and read him my comments as well.

Edit:  As for your uncle's concern of Bitcoin's early adopters having some deep rooted connections with transhumanism and having extroprian roots, this just seems to be the pride that comes with most people I encounter that are drunk in their own intelligence and is just typical of the scientific community today.  I had a biology teacher that had me read Adolf Huxley's Brave New World in high school. (this was 20 years ago)  I read the book and thought it was completely ridiculous and a fantasy at best.  I was shocked to learn that he seriously believed that it was a brilliant look into what the future should be, but it was a cold and loveless world in my eyes.  This was my first insight into how the "intelligent" minds perceive things.  Now I see people that think they know more than God.  They don't need God and they even want to find a way to "outsmart" God if that was even possible (but of course they don't even believe God exists anyways.)  So the cryogenics and transhumanism is just an extension of this sort of thought.  Perhaps they are the early Bitcoin developers because they are highly intelligent?  The more intelligent minds are drawn to these sorts of things?  I am not entirely sure.  It doesn't mean that Bitcoin isn't brilliant though and a intelligently designed work (designed by those whom God gave the intelligence to begin with Wink )  


I find it fascinating that you commented that Christians shouldn't have dismissed movies when they came out, and should not dismiss Bitcoin now - but then you imply cryonics and transhumanism are incompatible with Christianity.  If cryonics should prove successful, then it is nothing more than reviving someone from an extremely long-term and extremely unusual coma (that is mistakenly classified as legal death), and it has no more theological implications than reviving someone from a coma.  We have instances now in the medical history where a person has gone into hypothermia and entered a state that would legally or clinically be called "death" but the person has recovered and been fine.  To my knowledge these instances do not pose any theological problem for Christians, and the desire of a medical practitioner to rescue a person in such a state is not considered a problem by Christians and is not considered to be "outsmarting God" - doctors attempting these revival efforts might very well be Christian.  Cryonics is a much more destructive injury but at this point in time I don't think it's possible to rule out the possibility that medical science might one day create a cure for this injury and make revival possible.

Looking through pages on the Alcor Life Extension Foundation site you'll find that there have been a number of Christians involved in cryonics.  As you are urging Christians to purchase Bitcoin, you might also consider the possibility that if cryonics works it gives Christians many more years to engage in evangelistic work.  Some might consider it the same as a doctor treating and reviving a missionary who was thought to be fatally ill or wounded but who instead makes a complete recovery.
