Thank you very much! Learning one step at a time.

Wow Snackman,

Thank you for raising awareness about this important issue. I'm sorry you had to pay the price of losing 10 BTC to frauds. Now the community knows. I hope this issue is resolved quickly. I would much prefer those who received your bitcoin simply return it to your address, since no services were rendered. It wouldn't seem right for a company to take 10 BTC after *no* services were rendered, and just say, "Oh well, it says in the fine print that we can steal from you. Sux! Lol!"

I just tweeted about it. Hopefully they will do what is right and return what is yours.

We've met up a few times with about 5-15 people in attendance at any given time. We'll be having another meeting tonight. https://www.facebook.com/events/484151191680645/

Hey Philly,

A handful of entrepreneurs have begun meeting to learn how to integrate bitcoin with our businesses. For now, we're meeting Thursdays at 8p in Starbucks at Rittenhouse (upstairs Barnes & Noble).

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing that touching story, Hal.

This is such a joke. "Why don't you give me some of what you have? That would be fair because you have some and I have none!"

This seems like one of the most essential things a person can do. It's money we're talking about -- you want it to be secure, right? Very helpful for this newbie.

What an encouraging time: States/governments no longer hold a monopoly on gambling! Welcome to the free future. This is one of the reasons I love bitcoin -- it puts everyone on the same playing field.

Thank you for these relatively lax restrictions. I think they keep it simple enough for a real human being to get started interacting, but smart enough to keep annoying spam-bots outta here! Thanks again.

Thank you for providing this. These are excellent tips and more valuable each day!

Hey Folks,

Happy to be here. I've read the posts in this forum for a while, but I haven't gotten around to introducing myself and making posts. My name is DerrickJ. I am a liberty activist from the Shire Society who recently starred in a Civil Disobedience-themed documentary called "DerrickJ's Victimless Crime Spree." You can watch it free online at http://VictimlessCrimeSpree.com

Currently I produce a Peace-Centric podcast and videocast called Peace News Now. Every episode features news on Bitcoin and news from the Shire Society, as well as other stories of nonviolent resistance. You can learn more at http://PeaceNewsNow.com

I hope to network more with the community. I'm fascinated and encouraged by the good things Bitcoin has to offer the world.

Cheers,

DerrickJ
