Hello. Once again another obstacle to acquire bit coin. If you ever wonder why there isn't a wider use rate it's because the exchanges & forums make it near impossible as a newbie to get anything done in a timely matter.
I have used bc for about 6 months now and still, as example here today can't believe how unnecessarily hard this whole process is.
I was using the Internet in 1987 and GNU/Linux in 1994. Both are examples of emerging tech with a huge future potential but minimal network effects at the time. Today, if you aren't using the Internet, either directly or indirectly, you're a monk or over 80; and if you don't have a linux kernel running on some kind of hardware that you own, (such as your generic DVR) you're either a monk or a hardcore Apple devotee, and I'm not sure about the latter. Bitcoin is less than three years old, expect that it's going to be difficult for a while yet. |
"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."

hard to stifle." -- Satoshi

No it's not a matter of difficulty but rather assuming that it takes multiple hours & posts to read this forum to understand it's culture. I just spent a little over an hour reading, and probably read 11-12 pages deep in most of the bit coin related areas. I didn't read them all and some threads I scanned but really, how deep is this forum?
I'm just looking to exchange some money not spend hours of my life to accomplish what should be a half hour? Max. Sorry to rant but this is not the first forum I have ever been to, and is by far the most restrictive to newbies.

Once the tech matures, very few of bitcoin users will care about this forum or any like it. The goal of a currency is to be used by pretty much everyone in some capacity, the vast majority of whom don't care about the details. And this forum runs pretty deep. The half hour rule will come when the tech matures, and will likely come faster than that. |

I like walking also, while playing golf. Stalking that golf ball is a great exercise. |
