Eligius miners aware of prayers in block headers?

I invite you to try to prove with logic that there is no God.

I invite you to try to prove with logic that I can't prove it.

Anybody with me for Pastafacoin ?

Someone needs to get on this STAT. I will direct all my miners at the first pool that has support for pastacoins!

You know what I don't understand? And this is just an observation from what I've read on various forums, mind you.  People are always quick to chime in when it comes to Christianity or any of its various flavors, but if Graet had noticed quotes from the Quran being quoted, would he have been so eager to post the same thread?  I've noticed that when it comes to Christianity, people get really loud about denouncing it.  But when Islam is brought up, the exact same people suddenly get REALLY polite and STFU about it.  Or at best they'll be like "Oh hey, yeah whatever you want to believe, that's cool man!"  Or they'd never even make the thread to begin with, which is how it should be IMHO.

Give it a try if you're not convinced so
If not him, others would have created the thread

Even if you're right, so what? This makes prayers in the blockchain anymore acceptable?

I can't speak for Graet, but I sure hope so! As westerners, Christianity is shoved down our throats everyday whereas the same doesn't really happen with Islam. Maybe that's why you've experienced what you talk about.

I don't understand what makes it unacceptable.  If you don't like a certain pools fees/name/random text in the block chain, then (and this is from way out in left field lulz) don't join that pool.  Or better yet, create your own.  It's not exactly rocket surgery we're talking about, or am I missing something?

As an atheist, I'm very sensitive to religious propaganda, and I can honestly say I see a LOT more Islam-related articles on the front page of my local newspapers website than anything else.  It almost seems as if mainstream media is bending over backwards to ingratiate the Muslim community.  Have you not seen this phenomena in your neck of the woods?

That was kind of my point. Whereas the discussion on Islam is very much in the public eye and has been for some time, Christianity is the norm and therefore it doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Why is it that humankind, after fighting many bloody years and running away to another continent to have the freedom to not be forced faith upon, CHOOSE to believe in religious practices today? Are we so dumb that we cannot learn from out past mistakes history? Why not let go of our self created mysticism and fallacy that dates back to near early days of civilazation 4-5k years ago. We are no longer living in the bronze age and we no longer are center of the universe either. I don't care what these religious people say about their beliefs and faiths.

They are the kind of people that are holding back the progress of humankind in my eyes. In fact the catholics literally did hold back scientific progress for centries. Do we learn nothing from history? Religion is the earliest form of gov propaganda that dates back the Egyptian civilization. It was also the primitive form of taxation in early civilization. Get over it already people... seriously. Stop enslaving yourself.

Rocket surgery or Brain science.  I couldn't figure out which one was better

I am with you.  His sticker is on my car.

Also, my client will no longer be acting as a node.  I like having people's false gods off of my money.

Some nice sources you got there viperjbm :rolleyes:

See and this is where non-Christians fall up short, had you taken the time to even read those which you couldn't have given your hasty response you would see that this points to both secular and non secular research findings.  As easily as you claim the religious among us do not look at evidence it is apparent you are not as well.

Additional to note those claims were not made to prove God's existence but are evidence of biblical events providing a level of credibility to the passages herein written, which you dismiss as myth without thinking and searching for yourself.

Another religious retard on the bitcoin forums ... sigh.

Maybe you folks ought to make your own fork of the block chain, with its own
forums and go chant, drink your maker's blood, sacrifice small birds or do
there whatever your favorite supersitious practice may be.

Had nothing to do with vulnerabilities in neither Bitcoin nor any pools, just an inconvenience on some platforms. If it's even possible to pull off it's a 3rd party fault, so I don't see the harm in disclosing it.
