Re: 300 Bitcoin Berkshire Hathaway bet

So this dude has 300 BTC to bet and he doesn't even believe that it they will continue to increase in value?

That's depressing

Right.  Reddit OP agrees with Buffet that Bitcoin is a mirage, yet he makes a wager to earn Bitcoins.

So in his mind he risks Berkshire Hathaway class b shares but stands to gain valueless bitcoin.  Either its a scam or poor wagering as risk/reward is way out of whack.

You have a poor reading skill dont you?



LOL!  Sorry.  I'm not taking the bait, troll.

Hi,

I'm looking for a service, which can build a customized coin for me.
Please do not refer to an automated coin generator, because they doesn't fit with my requirements.

Thanks

Checking the Services section for requests like this is your best bet.

I found the following there:

Re: Bad vibe in Texas

If you like Bitcoin and vote liberal, you are one dumb motherfucker.

If you make blanket statements and think people can't have contradictory tendencies or parse issues beyond liberal/conservative you're not paying much attention to the world around you.

Personally I think the need for an alternative currency that doesn't rely on banks and governments goes well beyond the usual liberal/conservative dichotomy. Time to think outside the box.

That is the truth.

Bitcoin changed the way I looked at the world.  I used to believe that you either had to side with those who served big corporate interests or those who pushed for bigger, more intrusive gov't.  I believed this even though I knew big corp and big gov were essentially both sides of the same coin.

But now I know there is another way.  Thanks to cryptography and math we can wrestle as much control as possible from the central planners whether they are conservative or liberal.

Calling W Bush stupid or castigating one for being a liberal now seems intellectually lazy, old fashioned and childish.

Re: Email from Overstock
by
deltanine
on 11/03/2014, 20:45:59 UTC
Overstock has just sent this email to over 41 millions people in the US! Can you think about a better ad? In the link, the FULL article!

http://www.overstock.com/80786/static.html?ehid=EF916438FE97B21EE040010A249C4B4A

Dear Valued Customer,
Enclosed, please find the Wired Magazine article, "Meet Patrick Byrne: Bitcoin Messiah, CEO of Overstock, Scourge of Wall Street". It concerns the decade-long battle Overstock has waged to expose Wall Street mischief.
The backstory is as follows: Overstock went public in 2002. Between 2002 and 2005 I found myself mingling with various Wall Street bankers, hedge funds, and journalists, and began to form an impression (and hear) of unsavory activity. I made it my hobby to study it, and in 2005 I went public about what I had learned. For several years thereafter, the New York financial press derided and distorted my claims, often to the point of appearing to engage in a cover-up. When in 2008 what I had been saying became indisputable, Wall Street went silent about this episode. The enclosed Wired article recounts that history, and explains how it is related to Overstock's recent decision to accept Bitcoin.
I understand that you may not be interested in tales of corruption in Wall Street and Washington, DC, and if so, please simply enjoy the coupon above. However, if you read this piece from Wired, which effectively ends a cover-up regarding the Battle of Overstock versus Wall Street, I think you will understand why I chose to share this article with 41.7 million of my closest friends.
Your humble servant,
Patrick M. Byrne, CEO
"Scourge of Wall Street"

Just bought a couch from them yesterday...  with Bitcoin of course.

But I haven't received my email yet.  Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I think Texas has a lot to lose if the dollar tanks. The global elitist banksters are catching on that their days are numbered and they think they can stop it by regulating Bitcoin. Or at least stall it long enough to get the totalitarian dictatorship police state locked in. I think Texas is a main hub of that action. Unless they secede.

Think again.  Texas has a stronger Libertarian streak than most other states.  Where are all the elitist banksters operating from?  Well from this guys state:

As a native New Yorker, I think Texas has always had a bad vibe. I've hated that place since it spewed forth that halfwit George W. Bush.

Austin is cool, though. We should save those people, they are not gunslinging caveman troglodytes like the rest of the South.

Texas doesn't have Ben Lawsky actively researching the best ways to regulate Bitcoin.

Re: When does it become fraud? The ethics of bitcoin mining and zero-confirm TXs
by

However, if the customer can broadcast the double-spend transaction privately to a miner that controls, say, 10% of global hash power, over a non-public back channel, and if the miner agrees to replace the original transaction (the payment to the merchant in our example) with this new transaction, then the double spend will be successful 10% of the time.  

If a miner offers this service for profit and if customers use it to deceive merchants, would you consider the miner to be complicit in fraud?  


(This is not a discussion about enforcement, just whether or not this qualifies as fraud in your opinion)



Whoever would scam like this would be the dumbest criminal of all time.    The double-spending miner would need 3 petahashes to have 10% of the network.  That's at least $6-7,000,000 in asics to achieve that.  But they would constantly need to add as the difficulty continues to rise.  All this so that 10% of the time you are successful at a small purchase scam?

If you had that much hashing power wouldn't you just use it to mine bitcoins honestly, raking in around 900 a day?

The miner can do both. The miner can add the double spend transactions to the blocks they create and these blocks are compatible with the honest network, raking in all those block rewards.

The miner chooses which transactions to add to his blocks. In this example, the double spenders are paying the miner to add their double spend transaction instead of their initial transaction. If this particular miner then finds the next block, the double spend becomes the transaction written in the block chain. If another miner finds the next block, then the initial transaction is most likely the one which will be included in the block chain. This kind of double spending would only work in blocks found by the miner being paid to include the double spend transactions.

But why would anyone do this?  If you had that type of money invested in bitcoin mining why would you strive to devalue bitcoin?  If small transactions failed 10% of the time merchants would be less likely to adopt it.  Then at the end of the day your 900 honestly mined bitcoins a day are all valued less and you have left yourself open to legal issues.  This move just does not make any sense.

And keep in mind, you couldn't scam like this with high dollar purchases.  Those would undoubtedly be waited on for full confirmation by the merchant into their wallet.

That, unfortunately, is a situation I have a great deal of sympathy for Sad Since we're about the same age, I would guess you probably see the same things I do, exceptions notwithstanding. I swallowed my pride and took the food stamps, feeling it a better option than selling my soul to the Feds.

I figure if I call people out on those kinds of choices, it might at least make them think. And in thinking, find a better way. The US Empire is dragging us all to hell. And I say that as an atheist. It has to stop, and it will. All Empires collapse, and the interim is often ugly. It would be nice if this one could be dismantled rather than implode. But that is highly unlikely.

Yep.  Definitely seeing the same things you do.  I'm disgusted with this nation.  I tell my kids often that this is not the country I grew up in.

Just got off the phone with a friend who works for the TSA to ask him about this.  He had not heard of this news and said they have not received any sort of guidance in regards to Bitcoin and that financial criminality is out of their purview.

His theory is that it sounded like some overzealous agent who had read a bitcoin headline and was being a cowboy.  His exact sarcastic words were: "Yeah, we get the cream of the crop over here."

Every one of those deviants should be rounded up and publicly shot. They are traitors by the constitutional definition.

Please don't execute my friend, Biomech.  He is definitely not a traitor and in fact a very nice guy.  Smiley

He may be a nice guy. But he works for an organization whose sole purpose is a perversion of everything America was founded on. I'd advise him to look HARD in the mirror, and see if there isn't something better he could do.

I get the same argument about cops. "Well, I know a cop and he's alright..."

He wears the uniform. By putting on that uniform, he has accepted what it stands for. What it stands for is a surrender of self to the Collective, and an open slap in the face to the very concept of liberty. Your friend, by being a voluntary part of an organization that is more terroristic than ANY of the USAcorp's "enemies", has given up the "innocent" title. The Nuremburg defense failed in 1945 for good reason. "Just following orders" is no excuse. If you haven't the moral fortitude to NOT follow egregious orders, then you are either a coward or a willing participant. There really is no middle ground on this.

I am actually a non violent person, but the things that have been done to my country over the past 30 years are horrible. We have become Nazi Germany, only with glitter and better PR. Our rulers have created the largest, most dangerous Empire ever in existence, and they pretend to be representing us. They, and the TSA is definitely part of this, deliberately UNDERMINE our security for the sake of political gain. Fear is the motivator of the masses, and the politicians and their cronies know it, love it, and openly exploit it.

It frankly bugs me at a very deep level, because I have watched this nation go down the fucking drain for a long time. I'm 45 years old, and the country I live in does not even resemble the one I grew up in. That's not a long time to go from a largely free society to a tyrannical nightmare. I do not approve of a police state, nor any of it's agents. Nobody made them choose treason over liberty. It was voluntary, and they are screwing over their fellow man for pennies. The only thing worse than a traitor is a CHEAP traitor. If you are going to sell your soul, don't you think you ought to get value for it?

Well I've known him for 28 of the 44 years of my life and have a little different view of him than you. Smiley

Trust me...  this is not the job he prefers but there was a point at which he had to swallow his pride and take something so that he could survive without taking food stamps.  If that makes him a brown shirt in the new Nazi regime of America, I suppose he would be satisfied to at least be able to feed his family.

I had purchased some magic cards at MtGox a while back and totally forgot about them.  I log into MtGox this morning and they are gone!  I need them for a big tournament in two weeks.  I must win the top prize because my dog needs surgery or else he will die of AIDS!

I'm not begging but please send whatever cards you can spare.  I really could use a Black Lotus card, Chaos Orb and a Turd Blossom.
