The first computer we had in my house  I think nobody will be interested in my first computers....  and it will not be shocking that it was the nintendo NES and SEGA console from that time, all the game boys, playstation series, xbox's .... and I think real computer use was only from my 18th year for msn or how did it was called, little bit of internet watching, but really using a computer and laptop... I'm ashamed but its maybe not longer as 5-6-7 years or something. How the F*** did I got in BTC Does computers you guys posting, never saw those things in my life but here  Why ashamed? I'm sure every single one of us has seen things that the others haven't. That's what makes life so good. Just imagine how dull reality would be if there was so little to experience that everybody did the exact same thing. Just like if everybody had the same opinions/view. Nothing to learn from others. |

Unprofessional. I didn't expect this from Pomp and CZ. What is it all about? I have no idea. Dickhead Craig is paying to dox hodlnaught(?) Saying he's going to sue him for libel for saying he isn't Satoshi. People are sick of his shit. Hodlonaut is a twitter guy who keeps making fun of Faketoshi. Idiot Craig wants to sue him and has offered $5000 (in BSV lol) to whoever can reveal his identity. As a result, Hodlonaut has deleted his twitter account and gone under the radar. Many people in the industry are supporting him. $5000 for doxing a guy? What kind of ridiculous offer is that? I thought CSW had access to "some" money (even if it is calvin's). |

Madame Alexa knows how many Bitcoin you have  i will never own an alexa/google/amazon voice activated device, unless there is an actual physical switch to cut the mics out of circuit. i didnt really understand fully the ramification till the other day when i was going over with my wife how to recover my btc stack in case of my death. i was going to tell her the passphrase to my trezor (it would be written down also, this was just for discussion). but when i was going to tell the the passphrase i stopped. because while i dont own an alexa/google/amazon device, i do have a smartphone and smart watch, which have mics of course. so here i am in my own house, wondering if anything i say might go out to servers that humans can access (humans review random snips of voice data). wtf, my own home, which i have spent considerable time and money hardening both physical and electronic networks, is useless if the closed source algo that trigger sending data for no fully understood reason by the end user. btw many modern tvs have mics and web cams built in now. and IoT stuff like security cameras, some of which have mics so you can use then for intercoms, are notoriously bad at security and most will never get updates. so much the attach surfaces are pretty big. now i dont assume my phone and watch and compromised, but with the amount of money i have in btc it would be foolish to at least consider these scenarios, like any smartphone or laptop with a built in mic is powered off and put in another room when setting up wallet seed words. paranoia? sure but it is based on failings of the current tech used. - You don't need to stop using your potentially exploitable devices if you use them right. Ie: I have cameras all over my places, the perimeter ones I don't really care and assume someone could be watching (even if I have taken all the measures to stop that), the inside home ones are only turned when there's noone inside... again I don't care if someone would be watching/listening (when we are not there). - Don't think only potentially "spy" devices could be an attack vector. You said you were discussing key recovery with your wife... good thing you didn't say the passphrase but not because of your smartphone an/or smart watch.... more traditional eavesdropping methods like a laser beam mic could be employed against you. Always try to consider all potential attack vectors, and pay special attention to traditional ones as thats where the easiest exploit usually comes. |

Faraday cage room and Cryptosteel.  Thinking of it, I'll probably just have to build a room like that when I bother getting a new property. Just in case I ever need to have some serious talks with somebody. Faraday cage + no electronic devices inside (smartphones could still record and send the audio later). I think these kinds of problems are good to have though. They keep you on the edge if you consider them and keep you from turning into a potato and they're not as bad as having to worry about getting shot or eaten by a bear. For the same price of the faraday cage room you can build a nice pool and have those conversations in it. Just make sure the other guys fully submerge at some point if they have long hair where they could hide some tiny recorder. |

I believe minimum wage is morally wrong because it makes it illegal for you to sell your labor for under a certain price.
Likely you misspoke, here. Morally wrong and illegal are two different things. Likely you misread Lambie... Minimum wages makes ilegal to work being paid less than that... and it is morally wrong to impose such limitation because it ends up in more unemployment and bars from working (and being paid *anything*) people that do not produce/deserve more than that. I do agree... with some reserves though. |

throbs
My head is throbbing.
My ass is also throbbing.
Taxation is theft.EDIT: Sorry for getting cranky today, brothers. Rick is presently in the process of sending off our FY18 tax payments, as well as making our FY19 estimated Q1 payments, and the ACA stuff just blindsided me completely out of nowhere this morning. Really put me in quite an awful mood. I don't really think it will make your disappointment over the taxes issue vanish... but let's just always remember that you could be in a much worse situation, move on, and enjoy life! |

Yes, but actually getting into armed confrontations is not pleasant. Maintaining a base level of functioning society seems like a better investment the older I get.
Of course, that's the reason for most of state subsidies (be it education, pensions, social security, poor subsidies, etc), it's not that much "charity" as it is maintaining the status quo and public safety for the rest. P.S.: I am not a socialist.... But it is easy to understand the reasons behind it. |

Looks like they are arresting Bilbo Baggins
Sad. The worst thing is that all those years enclosed in the embassy won't discount from any sentence. On the other side I am not so sure it will be easy to prosecute the charges against him and maybe, just maybe, this ends being good for him and is finally freed sometime soon. He's probably going to have a sad fate, like Ross Ulbricht. If they can't convict him by law, they'll fabricate a case.  Maybe, but not that easy. The charges on Ross were quite clear according to law, even if the sentence was extremely hard. In the case of Assange, there's also the public eye over it... since years. Not so easy, not impossible either. That being said, even if he is finally freed he will probably get into trouble again soon after. I chatted (IRC) with the guy a few times in the nineties, ages before the wikileaks thing, and he was already obsessed with the US government and being prosecuted (or on parole/already sentenced, can't remember) for hacking a bunch of .gov systems. He is a rebel/fighter and he will probably always be. That's risky business... more so if you target powerful governments for your actions. But the charges against Ross were fabricated. I very much hope for public pressure and that Julian will not be convicted as Ross. Some seem that were fabricated... But.. are you saying that there is not enough evidence that he was running the site and profitting from it? Because that is ilegal no matter if you are ok with it. If it wasn't even myself and my grandma would be already running the next "silk road"... |

I am wondering how many people there already are that are holding at least 1BTC.... Maybe there are already more than 20 million individual people WORLDWIDE? Are we there yet? Just kidding  ... But think about it... How to think about that, so FAR from impossible Exactly. P.S.: Kidding aside I do wonder how many there are and if that figure is growing or decreasing. Probably will never know.... If I had to give a SOMA figure I would say the current number is probably in the tens of thousands individual people with 1BTC+, no more... and maybe even less than that. |

Does Wall Observer need its own logo?
I vote for a bull and a bear fighting each other with light saber green/red dildos! Noice. Add a couple of (moving) *WALLS* behind each of them so that they are forced/pushed into the confrontation and I am sold P.S.: And the walls being pushed from the other side by lots of smaller (different sizes) bulls/bears |
