Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

For the hilarity of all of us, I highly suggest you do respond.
Agreed. You shouldn't let people make uncontested claims like that anyway. At least ask him to cite the statute. Post it back here if he replies. I'm really curious to see if there's actually something like that on Kentucky's books. Hmm. Sent the following: Hi!
As I'm not in this to facilitate illegal activities, could you cite the statute illegalizing virtual currencies?
Much appreciated I am a bit curious as to how he'll respond. Criminalizing. "criminalizing". not "illegalizing". |

Ancillary question: Going BTCrate for a malnourished Chinese kidney? /OT This bears serious examination. I can easily imagine that CIA/NSA/SS would deploy semi-automated HUMINT agents to troll for exactly these types of scenarios. Hell, BTC offers seem almost tailor made for a manipulation at these vectors. |

I live in Kentucky, and have posted to Craigslist in the past. I'm very interested in this sad little statist's response. I'd certainly like to know if any such statute exists, and what it actually says. I'd doubt seriously that it exists, the KRS (Kentucky Revised Statutes) are not really all that long or complicated for a state code, and I've read most of them. I've never noticed anything talking about anything digital or currency related, but honestly I haven't looked either.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

I'm no lawyer, but I've been combing through the Kentucky Revised Statues for about an hour now, and can find nothing related to the subject-- not in the statutes, not in 2007 legislative reviews, not in the press; nowhere. He may be confusing Kentucky with China, which evidently banned virtual currency for real goods in 2007. It's an easy mistake to make (if you're a jabbering mental patient).
The closest thing I could find was a 2006 law requiring a licence for "persons engaging in money transmission," which seems inapplicable.
It could be a judicial ruling? I think I could find those somewhere.
I haven't completely finished looking through the tax code yet, but unless it's listed in some obscure corner, I ain't finding it.
But yeah, challenge the douche to cite you chapter and verse. He's probably some off-duty cop trying to flex his dick by pushing you around. Don't make assumptions, admit no possibility of wrongdoing, and be as brief and polite as possible.
Your initial message was good; let's see how he responds.

This is probably the case, I know it's what came up when I first googled around on this one. "Google before you post" really is the new "think before you speak" |

Of course. The name of the state is a proper noun, btw; which requires the respect of a capital. |

Just for giggles, I flagged this ad "Best of Craigslist". I recommend that others do so as well.

Of course. The name of the state is a proper noun, btw; which requires the respect of a capital. "BTW" is an acronym, which should be capitalized. I recognize that it's grown common enough that we imagine it to be an abbreviation, but it is not. |

Born and raised. I just find it humorous that a state with stereotypes associated with it toward... a certain kind of behavior... is abbreviated "KY" (I'm from California currently living in Vegas via St. Petersburg FL. Let the hometown/state criticism wars BEGIN!) |
