Having a bit of dirt on you isnt going to do much. Poor hygiene can lead to many other diseases too, plus you smell really bad. You don't need to shower every day but every few days is advisable.

This is what I was going to say. Most meats are filled with chemicals and nasty hormones both that the cow ingests whilst it's alove and then what is injected into the meat after it is prepared. Many of these things have links to causing cancer.

This is something I would like to do....eventually. I wouldn't do it until bitcoin has become more popular though and you could find at least a couple of places that already accept bitcoin as it would be very very difficult right now but maybe that's part of the fun for him. Would make a cool documentary I think.

Of course you can and this is why these sorts of bans are senseless. They just don't work aside from stopping those that don't know anything about proxies but for those that do restrictions are easily bypassed so I don't know what they think they're going to achieve.

Well they still have enough money to stop working, some just choose to keep going. For some it's not just about the mopney but success or making a difference.

Well sadly some people only care about profit but there are different types of bitcoiners. Some care about bitcoin actually freeing or liberating people whilst others just want a quick profit. Of course there are those in between too. I'd like the price to rise but only so I can get more bang for my buck and would want to actually spend my coins on goods/services as opposed to cash them out.

Allow? Are you asking if it should be allowed? I don't smoke but people should be free to choose to do what they want as long as it doesn't effect anyone else negatively. I don't want to have to breathe that shit in restaurants though so Im glad they dissalowed it in places like that.

Don't use bitcoin qt then. I agree it is a bit of a ballache for new users but I don't really think there's any need to use it with all the lite clients we have nowadays. Get one of them or a blockchain.info wallet and you're good to go immediately.

They actually use elves and wizzards  . It will be all automated with fancy algorithms but how do they get the odds from the live games is what I'd like to know. Say if there's a minor league game or a womens football playing a friendly who is updating the odds or stats as it can't be automated especially if its not on tv. It is quite fascinating how it all works and would love to know more.

This is what I thought. I can't see any site willing to take wagers on chess because even regular chess sites can just be cheated with bots and this will just happen when money is on the line. It's a shame but that's just part of the real world.

This is exactly it. Governments probably like bitcoin because its just another thing they can tax, and banks and governments are separate entities. Lets be honest bitcoin is very likely to ever become a genuine threat to the banks as much as we'd like it to.

No, tech companies should refuse any requests without reasonable warrants. They should also start suing because of this behavior because I doubt its even legal.


I honestly don't see what the point of this is. Whatever measures they put in place to catch 'the bad guys' said bad guys will either stop using the technology or find ways around it to evade detection.

Damn, it seems like there's been a lot or air disasters recently. Has there been any comment on the cause of it?

Why would they buy to dump? There's literally no point in that as they'd just be effecting themselves and they probably wouldn't make much on them at current value so they're probably going to hold.

Maybe the bidders wish to remain anon or that was part of the terms of the auction. I would like to know who bought them though and how much they paid and also what they're going to do with them.

Getting rich should just by a byproduct of bitcoin. If you believe in bitcoin and have chosen to invest time and money in it then maybe the may get rich eventually depending on how many coins they have and hold, though it's not a guarantee and I don't think people should be getting into bitcoin just to be rewarded this way though that's up to them. As for the limit, there is no limit but that will be dictated by the market and supply and demand and obviously how many coins they hold.

This was nothing to do with any zany conspiracy theory. He ran a multi-million pound drug dealing business, tried to whack some people and got caught sat in front of his own computer logged on as dpr. No conspiracy just stupidity and criminality.

What happens when they get it wrong from time to time or even become scammers themselves? Any issue with trust and a feedback system is a tricky business. Just look at ebay. It works well when you are scammed but it can also easily be abused by fraudulent buyers. It's going to be interesting to see how these decentralized markets handle this stuff as it could be make or break.

I don't think it's a red flag at all. Most people in the crypto community wish to remain anon and if I was a dev I would definitly want to remain so. Those guys get a lot of heat and let's not forget the guy that started all this is still anonymous and nobody has any idea who he is and I'm glad it's that way.

I'm sure it was an inside job and it wouldn't surprise me if Karpales himself was behind it, but I still also belive fake trades were going on (again maybe this was also something to do with Mark).
