I would be hard pressed to conduct transactions with people I havent met without some form of third party escrow or the sort.

Re: Bitcoins & Gambling

Well it is a gamble because you din't know if BTC will be at $100 next month or $200 or $40 or $20.  Some people think it could never go back to $20 but it is very possible.  But if you buy and it starts to tank on you, just sell before it gets too bad, just like with the stock market.

That's how the market crashes, everyone panic sells and then it drops.

Martin.
Yah, what he said.  Cool

well, most sites use a pplns pay system. You really have to mine a minimum of 24 hours to actually see a payoff. whats more you didnt indicate what your hash power is... if its very low you might not see anything for quite a while also.

Re: Anyone interested in developing a newcoin that is fair to everyone?

How exactly would you do that? I mean, the people involved (say you and me) would have hash power ready for the get go. I don't have the knowledge or inclination to be part of the project, but dont see how the release of *any* crypto coin that needs to be mined, will not benefit early miners 100 fold later miners.

Did Satishi expected GPU / ASIC mining?
Yes  Wink

ASIC mining will always happen, there can't be a "non asic" currency  Wink

We'll see. A pcb with 100 atoms is also an asic.

As long as it is profitable to produce the technology, there will be ASIC chips pointed at it...whatever 'it' may be.

Re: Whitelist Requests (Want out of here?)

I know I have spent more than 4 hours on the forum, and have made the required number of posts in the newbie forum for access outside newbie-land yet, here I remain. There are a number of mining pools for crypto-coins (which is how I found this site), that use this for their sites forums. It is kind of messed up that a person could join an outside pool, have an issue, pop here to 'their' forums and have to jump the hoops of the newbie forum rules (which seem to be broken anyhow) to post for a mitigation to a problem. Still not getting any satisfaction after spening DAYS on the forum, eventually finding the 'newbie rules/section' following those rules, and STILL not have access to a forum(thread) they should by rights have unrestricted access to. Hook a fellow up, or tell me what I have yet to do to get out of newbie-town.

Re: Tax evaders and protesters give Bitcoin a bad name

You know bitcoin is going mainstream when imprudent socialist kids have arrived to discuss how bitcoin shouldn't be used for tax avoidance. Got to love it.

Or he's an IRS employee. Wink

Thank goodness I'm not a US citizen or permanent resident then. Grin

You gotta love the way a show like Boston Legal carries that trace of a libertarian streak, periodically sticking it to both Republicans and Democrats, as they both deserve. Pertinent to this thread is the episode in which Denise (Julie Bowen) is being persecuted by the IRS and gets arrested over a $400 arrears. Now, the IRS is nasty, but mostly probably not that nasty. How often would they chase you up, cuff you and cage you over $400? Surely even the IRS would just impose a penalty fee and demand it. Now, if they audit you and expressly accuse you of tax evasion to the tune of $xxxxxx, that's another matter entirely. And while we may think the OP is a troll and morally disagree with what he said, there is no doubt that you could be in serious trouble if the IRS is auditing you for tax evasion...

Honestly I believe that most peoples idea of how government works, or at least the legal system is mirrored from shows like BL, or CSI, or whatever. Shows everyone working for the govt is good, and intelligent, and cool... 'cept the IRS, they will hunt you down and do nasty things to you, even if you're the star of the show... Thats TV 'programming' for you...

State is not that necessary in the modern world. It was usefull, but no more. I will not pay my taxes for shit...

Are you that confused? State is the collective. Without government, we'd have smog in the air, dirty water, pay-to-use parks, child labor, slavery, unsafe food.. Oh, and private armies constantly at war with each other.

Not to mention the fact that laws would be up to vigilante justice. In other words, I could come shoot you if your music was loud, rape your wife, etc... But, I suppose the rule of law and due process aren't important, just let everyone start killing each other like in the dark ages.

Good idea!

I am quite sure you just described civilization today... smog (perpetration of the petro-dollar), dirty water (fluoride anyone?), pay to use parks (National parks shut down because of sequestration?) child labor (although not directly but the public education removes 33% of a child's time from his family, and indoctrinates them into good institutionalized workers?) slavery (a portion of your labor is taken without your consent via wage taxes?) unsafe food (see Monsanto GMO?) and the private wars? how about the US military used to make damn sure the FRN stays the worlds 'reserve currency' aka the petro-dollar?

EDIT: ...And, you are absolutely free to shoot anyone for any reason... even now, the 'law' can only REACT to the action once taken.
