Very badly, GF just thinks the government is going to come after us and put us in jail for providing ID to a banking institution.


Wow, you got one of the rare smart ones.

Que?  Undecided

I assume he is from the USA and she is thinking what will happen in about 5 years.

You think they will be put in jail for sending ID to MTGox? Really? Are they going to turn one of their states into a prison or something?

Most people who "give ID to Gox" end up having that ID sent to the US Govt. Gox in the past has been very open about working with the DEA and others.

also most people who "give ID to Gox" end up with BTC. Wait 5 years and see what the US Govt does with BTC.

Oh, I have no doubt NSA can get this info. Hell, I send my ID with Gmail in the past (not to an Exchange) so they know about me as well. My point was that they aren't going to incarcerate people for having a verified MTGox account or even having bought Bitcoins. They might try to confiscate them (Gold 1933), but how do they prove you have them?

They are busy surfing Bitfash.com all day. Wink

Just imagine the poor sobs giving their ID to Bank of America, HSBC, Royal bank, etc they don't know their dollars and pounds are going to be confiscated for BTC. Smiley

If you think my efforts are worth something; I'll keep on keeping on.

She was all about it when the price was topping $280 a pop, and the earning calculator she was playing with was saying that 2ghs would earn some extra cash. But then of course as difficulties went up, and the price went down, and the cost to further invest in mining infrastructure went off the scale... She puts it up their with buying crap for my supra, or building a new gaming rig. "whatever" as long as your happy.

Luckily we have cheap electricity!

the scam of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is not a scam, it is just you.

Enron is not a scam. MCI WorldCom is not a scam. JP Morgan is not a scam. AIG is not a scam. They are legit. And they stole Billions.

I don't understand why so many people are married to women who don't care about what they're interested in. Is this typical behavior when finding a mate, to not care about what they're interested in nor look for someone with similar interests?

for me i married the first female i ever met who didn't have a demon living inside of her. we may not share many interests but i VERY HIGHLY value the fact that she isn't an evil bitch.

oh and as soon as you make a child you will (hopefully) have at least 1 common interest.

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

+1 right on Kimika, welcome to the forums. We are a very male strong forum, lots of heady technical,scientific types here.

If you need anything made, just post it on the forums. I'm thinking on the lines of,"What would I like to see in the Bitcoin community?"

We don't see many females, so your input is very valuable... don't mind the trolls, just go with the flow, they get entertaining after a while.

If you think my efforts are worth something; I'll keep on keeping on.

We've been over this Smiley. In general women are less technical and more risk averse causing a lower interest from them. As Bitcoin becomes less technical (layering) and the perceived risk goes down more women will be interested. May be not so much on forums however.

My wife holds BTC and AM stock. Used some of her AM money on this trip to Bali:)

She is now very okay with BTC (and my posting on the forum during family holiday trip) 

The Wife doesn't mind it at all.  At first she was like "what's with all this talk about Bitcoins", then it turn to "I am sick of hearing about Bitcoins."  Angry

Then when I told her that you can actually by stuff with Bitcoins and bought grocery store gift certificates from Gyft.ca and told her about BitFash.com to buy clothes ...then she was like "That is cool" and now I don't hear much complaints from her about it, because now a portion of the grocery is covered by Bitcoins and she can buy clothes from Zara. Nuff said.   Grin
