1801  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: namecoin are low, why? on: November 09, 2011, 07:52:37 PM
The price of NMC is not as important as the security of NMC.

Remember NMC wasn't designed to be a currency.  People who want to register domains can use NMC to do so.  The price point isn't material however without MM NMC would be very vulnerable to a 51% attack.

Yes but I still think a low NMC value is not very good for miners relying on MM to boost profits Smiley
then you should do good by buying alot of them, and make prices raise for some time.

You wish. Until these cryptocurrencies are not properly tested over some time I consider it foolish to put real USD into them. I never even bought BTC at $0.58 Tongue
NMC's function is not as a currency, but as a way to secure domain names. -> price of namecoins, price of a domain.

>  Innovation is empirically limited by copyright laws.

How do copyright laws stop anyone from producing innovating ? what's the limiting factor?
look at Apple and Samsung.
or linux, and a variate of patent holding companies.

THIS SUCK!

Do you even tell people you are going to install Ubuntu on their systems? Because if they don't then you're a tremendous dick.
correct me if im wrong... windows fanboy?

Some programs only run on specific OS's and (especially if you are a university student) Can be extremely vital to studies and be the difference between passing and failing.
ever heard of wine? or alternative programs, that do exactly the same task?
Education should not be bound to one specific OS, or program, it should not even be required to have a computer(unless you are studying computer science, or other computer related stuff). of course its could be a great help to have one, im not denier that.

Also arbitrarily installing a bitcoin client on someone's machine without their consent is also fucking stupid.
and computer manufactors, that include all kinds of crapware. is not?

People have the right to utilize their copyrights however they want,
i disagree.
1809  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Preinstalling bitcoin client on: November 08, 2011, 08:54:38 AM
How do I do that?
you can't if you ever had access to their computers. you could install backdoors, and other nasty stuff. with out their knowledge.

im not saying that you DO that, only that you COULD.

but its a great idea anyway. just tell your customers about the benefits, risks. and also that if someone found out that you did install trojans, backdoors, and stuff. your would go to jail, and lose your reputation. and thats the reason that you don't do that.

PS, use Kubuntu, nobody likes GNOME.
FUCK YOU, ANYONE LIKES GNOME! KDE SUCKS! Tongue (let the flamewar begin)

in the case of the copied car, no one would lose anything.

if i set a price on a copy, i won't be happy you acquiring it for free and it is not legal. arguing copy doesn't hurt anyone is BS in this case - you don't agree to my terms you are free not to use it. looking for ways around it to use for free is simply wrong.
i have not signed any contract ever when i have buyed a cd. -> no terms apply.

let me ask you a question:

would you copy a car, if you could? and all it took, was a little bandwidth. would you?

i said it earlier in the thread if pirates had ability to do same thing (taking/using/stealing/copying w/o permission) to tangibles like smartphones, cars and anything else, without repercussion they would do it in a heart-beat. you don't have to be Nostradamus to realize it.
would you do it? the question was not: "would I do it?", because i already know that answer.

i'll retract "pirates" from above comment.

most people would take something if it was free for taking, less people would do it illegally if they knew they could get away with it - and if others see that nothing bad happens to them more would join them in such activity.

if people were ending up in jail for copyright infringement, there would be significantly less piracy going on.  Since there are very little repercussions, a lot of people got used to the idea of free taking something that's not free and now feel self-entitled that world should hand them everything for free conveniently on the plate.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LkWKvMCzqA - jack black talking about piracy.

please notice, that he is talking about incitement. what he says boils down to: no money -> no music.
THIS IS WRONG! because a real artist does care about his/hers art, not his wallet.


an artist should in my opinion, do it for the art, not the profit. of course the artist should be rewarded for his work.
an musician should hold concerts. but his record music, should be free.
i have a problem with paying for some that could easily be copied.
but i have no problem with going to a concert with a band. (except that im a rather poor student).

a concert can not be copied!

stop stealing music from not real artists, the real artist will hand it off to you for free! what's the problem?
that unreal artists also plays well. Tongue

Okay, this is bullshit.  I'm a comedian and a comedy writer, and know a lot of actors and musicians, and they all want to get paid, because although they are doing what they love, at the end of the day, they still need to eat.

I personally creative commons everything I write, but that's because I have a career outside of writing, and I don't plan on making money off of it or doing it as my full time job.  But most of my friends have to work at shit jobs like waiting tables and clerks at law offices just to make ends meet, so they can do the thing that they love.

And you say, "Musicians should just do concerts!"  Concerts are one of the most grueling things a musician can do, months away from friends and family, traveling from unknown place to unknown place, and guess what?  Musicians already do them!  It's how they make ends meet to begin making their next album.

Your entitled attitude is astounding.  Maybe its because you're looking at that small percentage of musicians and actors who make a lot of money, and are forgetting about that 99.99% of them that are just figuring out how to get enough money to buy a few packs of ramen to eat. 

I will admit, I pirate a fair amount of stuff, but I also budget a certain amount of money each month to go back and buy the albums I like and will re-listen to.  If you're broke, I get it, I've been there, and it didn't stop me from downloading music, but quit with the entitlement shit.  It makes you look like an asshole.

dude! i play classical guitar, im not doing it for the money! im doing it for the music, because i think its fun!
the 99.99% aren't getting anything anyway.

im not talking about a world tourney. play for your community, play for fun, not money.

(i am the 99%, fuck you im know what im talking about.)

Are you sure?

They asked me for a clarification which i gave.. they didn't asked for personal details which i rather not give.

Besides that i am EU based, so does i get involved with US laws? I thought bitcoins where independent.. no central jurisdiction so why should they need my details?

The bitcoins are honest, no fraud or money laundering. However is it traceable? To its origin?
because the exchaneg is placed in a contry where they are forced to comply with these laws.

I do not believe that SR is a real black marketplace. I mean c'mon, DEA publishes a fake product and you just give them your home address. You have to be high to believe that is a real business. This has to be a big joke on the Bitcoin community, right?
or your neighbor, or some pickup address. there are still plausible denial.

yes please, sounds great... or how about 2048 wallets and only one block and transaction confirmation engine Cheesy
it is not working yet. chill! https://github.com/kokjo/pycoin , but i got alot of branches, and uncommited code.

but 2048 wallets would be possible. but it would likely put the engine under alot of load. -> big costy server.
it is likely that is will not be able to scale.
