Biomech has got the right plan. Tek is the coin of the future. It is a good coin to buy and hold.

Also the Block Explorer and the Rich List has lost connection with the network and they are down again.

Let's tell them how we feel about this loud and hard! Just try to stay civil... There's still time to change these poorly thought out policies.

See my tagline. I've no reason to be civil. Like our ancestors, we live under a regime that has no respect for us, little fear of us, and absolutely views us as their personal property, to be used and disposed of in any manner they see fit. I am a human being, not a piece of their broken machine. I'll not only not be civil, I'll engage in destructive compliance. From this point forward, if I do business with anyone who is in the State of New York, I'm sorry, but you'll have to dox yourself or be denied. I will certainly provide you with the proper documentation to show that you have been denied due to willful non compliance with these bullshit laws, should you be so bold as to sue them for deliberate obstruction of lawful commerce, and I'll testify in their kangaroo court on the condition that the media are both allowed and encouraged to attend.

I will follow the court's ACTUAL rules, which are the rules of Parliamentary debate. I was captain of the team, and I only lost once.

Sounds good to me, I'm just the messenger here. This is the kind of bull headed stupidity I would expect from more oppressive countries but, the State of New York seems to qualify. We all need to voice our views in this...

If you are able to step back from it and look, you'll find that the United States of America, Incorporated is by far the most oppressive nation on earth. It's a hard truth, but it is the truth. I'm not a young man, and I did not become an anarchist easily or without thought.

Hi,

A quick reminder that we have an IRC chan: #ŧekcoin (freenode, you can access with a regular IRC client like hexchat or with http://webchat.freenode.net).
We also have a tipbot, courtesy of drewdrew - I will personally tip any newcomer if I am online at this moment. My experience with MINT, XMR and HYP is that a living IRC chan helps a coin to thrive.

See you there!

That's properly an overstatement. North Korea is more oppressive and in a way, so is Bhutan. Let alone Burma.

We Westerners tend to forget how lucky we are. As Tocqueville wrote: "democracy is a system were people will always be unhappy with their situation, before it is actually possible to improve" (not exact wording)

An Algerian rap music band once said about French rap music band complaining: if you were in Algeria, you would produce one album a month.

Granted, there is a lot to improve in Western world countries (and this is right to try to improve them), but calling US the most oppressive nation is an exaggeration. Grass is always greener on the other side.

This is probably not the place for this discussion, so I'll keep it short for the moment.

WITHIN their borders, what you are saying is true. But the US dominates and manipulates everybody. It is the largest military empire that has ever existed, making Rome look like pipsqueaks. The ideals that nearly every American subject can pop out of their mouth have been so egregiously twisted in actual practice as to be unrecognizable. What the US figured out that most have not is taht if you can regulate everything and make people BELIEVE that the rgulations have purposes other than sheer enslavement, that teh majority won't complain. Which is why they tout democracy as if it were a virtue. In the long run, no democracy has survived, and this one won't either. Because at it's core, there is no more oppressive system. As someone on this very board has as their tagline: "Democracy: The original 51% attack.

If you truly believe in the principles of democracy (which thankfully almost no-one does), then if 6 people in a group of ten decided that one of their number should be killed (regardless of any reason), he should just stand up and die. A very limited amount of democracy can be useful, but those limits must be explicit and rigid, else you get a creeping, grinding enslavement over time.

The United States was not set up as a Democracy. It wasn't truly a democracy until the 16th and 17th amendments shifted slavery away from piecemeal individual owners to a general system in which all of those born were born in bondage to the "federal authority" via the income tax, and the abolition of the Senate, making the United States of America instead of these United States of America.

I could write a book on the subject. In fact, I mostly have But this thread is about Tek, so perhaps we should continue this elsewhere.

Officially, this was the Achaemenid empire (First Persian Empire, "our arrows will blot out the sun", almost one human being over two). But if you're talking unnofficial, I'd tend to agree. French former Foreign minister Hubert Vedrine wrote "Facing the hyperpower", stating that that US are more than a superpower because they dominate on all of this fields: military, financial, technological, cultural.

The ideals that nearly every American subject can pop out of their mouth have been so egregiously twisted in actual practice as to be unrecognizable.

What is funny (or sad) is that outside US, USA is still "the land of freedom". Well, outside France, France is still the land of human rights...
I like the tagline. Makes me think.

A very limited amount of democracy can be useful, but those limits must be explicit and rigid, else you get a creeping, grinding enslavement over time.

Konstantin Kastoriadis once said: "the problem with democracy is that it gives any citizen an equal voice without giving them an equal education (Kastoriadis as an ardent proponent of democracy).
As usual, this is not the concept which is good or bad, this is the percentage.

The United States was not set up as a Democracy. It wasn't truly a democracy until the 16th and 17th amendments shifted slavery away from piecemeal individual owners to a general system in which all of those born were born in bondage to the "federal authority" via the income tax, and the abolition of the Senate, making the United States of America instead of these United States of America.

The main issue I think is that there is no more free land in the world. I use this expression adequately: we don't have land, but we do have oceans and... space.
I never said it would be easy

This astonishing snippet has been posted too:

"One particularly controversial aspect of the law appears to ban the creation of any new cryptocurrency by an unlicensed entity. This would not only put a stop to virtual currency innovation (other Bitcoin-like monies include Litecoin, Peercoin, and the mostly satirical Dogecoin) but could theoretically put Bitcoin’s anonymous creator, known by the name Satoshi Nakamoto, in danger of prosecution if he failed to apply for a BitLicense."

We should be used to this. Statists are merely reacting to their potential loss of monetary control. It's ever a cat and mouse game.
