i am back to doge coin.
only command line wallet. shitty launch. i have another look when everything is calmed down.
I think as the two devs on keiser report were obviously computer techy's using lunix they completlu fail to appreciate that many miners like me have been running to almost a year having never touched Lunix, never touched CGminer direct, never used any kind of CPU mining software. There must be hoards of us who mine $$$ daily and use Windows based wallets, download from the webpage, click on, exe launches, wallet loads, sinks with blockchain, get wallet address for pool payout and set wallet password encryption. Job done. As for mining software, GUIminer-scrypt. Fill in boxes with pool address and ports, miner details and password and hit start!!!! I have no idea how lunix works, know no-one who uses it, have never come across it at any office / workplace ever. FFS even trying to download from Github is a fooking mess I gibe up with, you get a whole page of files to click on. WTF is the one that says "windows 64 CGminer for maxcoin". CPUminer, that's even worse, download this, compile that, make sure this is in that fooking folder!!!! We are Windows users, we want windows CPU maxcoin miner click here : (one button). Download, click.exe to install, fill in pool details and hit start. WTF is all this compile this, configure that shit. M +1

The good news snippets "Benjamin Lawsky, the superintendent of financial services in New York whose tough stance on money laundering wrung a $340m settlement from Standard Chartered, has said Bitcoin has reached a “tipping point” where its potential benefits outweigh the risks of illegal activity." “My hope is that Bitcoin is very much at a tipping point and is moving from an earlier phase when it was dominated by some individuals who were more interested in the illicit nature of it, and what they could hide from people, and moving into a phase where it is more mainstream and will start to realise a lot of the benefits of digital currency,” The bad news snippet "Mr Lawsky’s department of financial services wants to make New York the first state in the US to issue clear guidelines to virtual currency businesses, which must register as money transmitters in most states if they offer financial services in Bitcoin. Registration requires compliance with anti-money laundering rules, including checking customers’ identities and monitoring for suspicious transactions." Registration to FT is free.

What's the size of the US debt. Its got too many zeros for me to count ...
I have something for you to give you an idea of the size of the debt USA's Debt Imagining the American debt-image is not an easy task... The picture you know, it is a 100 dollar bill.  This famous and known everywhere 100 dollar bill will help us to represent the debt figuratively. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A whole new perspective!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those are from demonocracy.org a cool site for sure. But consider that all that money is owed to someone. That's a lot of wealth. Of course this is just a shell game in the end. The debt was invented, nobody "had" all that money to lend out, they just invented it because they have laws written to say they are "creditors". Take Europe... Take Greece for example. Ten years ago the German and French banks open up the spigot and say "Hey borrow all you want at 4%" Well common delusion holds that the Greeks borrowed money that these banks had. This is mostly untrue. Because it was sovereign debt, the banks credited Greece with "zero capital allocation". Or in other words they just entered a debt on a ledger and handed Greece newly printed Euros from the ether. So 10 years go by, 40% of the principal has been paid as interest to the banks, but Greece still owes 100% of the principal because that is the game. But there was no money borrowed from some wealth holder to lend to Greece. It was conjured for the sole purpose of lending to Greece. Of course they can never pay it back, I mean the whole world can never pay back more money than the whole world has. This is what the public must wake up to, and realize the banks aren't "owed" jack shit. They have a lot of explaining to do, they owe us a definitive reason we should let them hold their license to steal if they are not furthering human progress (which at this point it is hard to argue that they are doing anything but enriching themselves at the expense of humanity). Don't get caught up in the illusion of debt, it is just that, it is a rigged game. To whom is what owed... is the ultimate question of the 21st century. Your'e last line says it all, good post. "Don't get caught up in the illusion of debt, it is just that, it is a rigged game. To whom is what owed... is the ultimate question of the 21st century."

It can't replace all currencies, there will always be millions of poor people with no access to computers and smart phones.

if the dollar collapses, then bread, bottled water, milk and everything else would be worth more dollars.. EG $100 for something normally worth only $1.
this would then make bitcoins worth (using the same exampled multiplication) 1BTC=$100,000, whilst at the same time 1BTC= only EUR1000 due to the euro not collapsing
I think this is probably the most sensible answer, and since you won't be able to buy a loaf of bread with a rare oil painting or a bar of gold (think of the change problem) then Bitcoin will become the currency of choice.

It could be sorted out very easily IF the CC companies wanted to by providing an online wallet service themselves. Mr. A uses his Visa card to buy x amount of BTC from Mt Gox and the coins are sent to his Visa wallet which he can then transfer to any wallet he wants. Visa charge a small percentage for the service and because they see the BTC have been transferred to Mr. A's wallet there is no possibility of a chargeback. Simplistic I know but feasible.
I like the sound of something like this, I don't like sending bank transfers to random companies - when I wanted to buy my first BTC I automatically thought of debit/credit cards and PayPal, not being able to use them to buy BTC nearly put me off  I was exactly like you, I got interested in the whole bitcoin thing when the price was around $40 and missed out on cheap bitcoins because due to being in UK found it hard to buy any and I was afraid of losing my money jumping through all the hoops to purchase any, I finally took the plunge around the $70 mark and got 5 BTC which I still hold hoping to be able to spend on holidays soon.

Does nobody read the posts It was already been posted yesterday, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=400194.0and most people agree it's fake, with a certain degree of proof. Why fake something like this? Someone has already posted, somebody getting ready to dump a fair amount of coins, an announcement likie Facebook accepting BTC is enough to hike the price.

Why would someone try to fake this, getting peoples hopes up.

I just copied and Googled "Nieuwe betalingsmethode toevoegen" from the screen grab in the article, I had to use Tor to actually go to the relevant Dutch site because Facebook redirects me in chrome. Here is the relevant page actually on Facebook "Facebook ads - what are my payment options" and listed are Visa MasterCard American Express Discover PayPal Automatische incasso https://nl-nl.facebook.com/help/338388466239851/I would say definitely fake.

Either folks at FB are worse in CSS than me in MS Paint, or this is fake:  Keep bumping this post. The thing is fake.

I see no problem with that, who cares if Chinese can't buy Bitcoins, the price will go down, we'll buy more coins and they'll be late to the party. What do you expect from a dictatorial government anyway?
From what I can glean from a very bad google translate Bitcoin and the exchanges aren't being banned. It is the third party payment comapnies - in other words if you withdrawing bitcoin from an exchange account it has to go into your bank account directly. Though I might be wrong because of the wording about the spring festival - but in my unqualified opinion the chinese are still in Bitcoin quite legally as long as they don't use any stop gaps between the exchange and their bank... How can you move bitcoins into a bank account?

So I'm reading their patent claim:
Imagine paying for some product in a transaction directly with the seller that doesn’t include a costly third-party fee or the revelation of a personal account number — the current components that comprise credit card and debit card purchases. Imagine this system with a “real-time digital exchange of value.” And imagine that you can archive all the transactions in a personal digital wallet, with its own “Internet Pay Anyone (IPA)” account and inherent safeguards built-in, something that you could call “Virtual Private Lockbox (VPL),” according to JPMorgan’s patent.
Imagine you can archive all transactions in a personal wallet, with its own Internet Pay Anyone account? That's BITCOIN! How could they get away with this?
I did a bit of searching on the patent. http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PG01&s1=20130317984&OS=20130317984&RS=20130317984"Inventors: O'Leary; Denis; (New York, NY) ; D'Agostino; Vincent; (New York, NY) ; Re; S. Richard; (Westfield, NJ) ; Burney; Jessica; (New York, NY) ; Hoffman; Adam; (New York, NY)" Basically all the so-called inventors are nothing more than over-hyped salesmen. Who's to say the actual inventor wasn't Satoshi and maybe he went rogue or possibly JPM just released it to let the Bitcoin community do all the hard work of getting it out into the open before they use patent laws to try and wipe it out and replace it with "backed" JPM-coin. So many possibilities. My point is about what's called "prior art". In order to patent something it can't be something already used in the past. Bitcoin was obviously in wide use before JP Morgan got their creative brainstorm. I wonder if their deep pockets will buy automatic patent application approval... Look at the link, the patent was first filed in 1999 and granted in 2000 and 5 continuations up to the latest patent.
