copumpkin's last post should be informative enough.

I found that I wasted time here that I could better spend pushing my mining capacity and otherwise pursuing commercial interests.

Close but not quite.

Nope.  Easier to see than that.

As an asshole who does not fit that lame-ass description of asshole, I find your political incorrectness and cultural insensitivity offensive.

Besides, that tag would probably get the entire site blocked by most corporate content filters, not that most posts won't.

Plus, fuck you, that's why.

I specified that it was donated on behalf of scary-eyed batman, so if they don't thank you, punch them in the nuts.

Just admit that your team is using the parallel processing of the 6502s in the 1541s as hashers and are working on eliminating the thunks before shipping them as SC Singles.

Pixels, or beatific aura?

If the forum is dependent on features and not content, then it is not worthwhile.  You might as well go to Iggy Planet and set up shop there.

If you make excuses not to improve your life, you will always make the safe choice, and that path leads down to stagnation.

There is a bitcoin stackexchange beta, and as mentioned, /r/bitcoin.  The advantage of these over SMF is that you can smash people's arguments into invisibility by voting them down.

One should examine what is broken about this one before repeating the same mistakes.

Is it this forum, is it the leadership of this forum, is it a personality type, is it ...because bitcoin?

Again, I am a big fan of federated autonomous units.  With PGP auth, one can have the same account on multiple forum sites.  No need for SSO, OAuth, OpenID, etc.

If you're fans of Ted Nelson's ideas with Xanadu, you'll understand where I'm coming from.  I'd be happy to host sites on "fuck you, that's why," hardware innovation (although I think the per-vendor sites are a smart move), compliance (tax and legal), ideology and propaganda, and meta-forum-platform development, but I don't want to touch buying and selling, "exchanges," "securities," and all that other mess.  I'm sure someone who is interested in those topics and willing to accept the risks would pick those up.

And I'm not saying,"these belong to me," with that list.  I'm hoping that several people with both development (whether product management, execution, testing, design) ability and hosting capability will be able to step up and contribute to their area(s) of interest.

Think stackexchange, with a more suitable structure, and not owned by the same entity.  But bitcoin.

Let a million fora boom.

I highlighted the magic phrase for you.  Each of you is responsible for full recompense.  You can either pay it all yourself and rest easy, or hope that people pay according to their share.  At the end of the day, n things must be distributed, and if  < n have actually been distributed, everyone gets their asses handed to them.

Since it's multi jurisdictional, the weight falls heaviest on those local to the plaintiff.

Basically the thread title and the last page.  Hardly ever even the OP.

Let me tell you. :-)

1) They are easy to use once you get to know how to use them.  Much like any computer application.  They are for power users, not people who expect F1 to be the DWIM key.

2) Expensive is relative.  The cost to the average user is not major compared to the ROI.  There are less expensive options for day traders and other consumer-level traders, but they don't have the full featureset (which you may not need).

3) They are *nuts* about innovation.  They keep the interface pretty static (which makes sense) and continually test and improve the backend.

4) Per #1, the industrial ubiquity means that you can go from terminal to terminal, floor to floor, and while the layout may be different, you'll be able to use the system.  Your dad can teach you how to use it, if he's in the industry.  The number of people who can help you (beyond the people coming out from Bloomberg to train you, or at their corp facility) is immense.

I do not think 'diaspora' means what you think it means.

That's not how it works.  You have to justify to yourself that it's worth the fee.

If they haven't communicated value, then they've failed at marketing.

Different things.  They don't owe you anything, so they don't have to justify anything.

Where can I buy?  Is there a Hayabusa engine hiding in there?

I suspect you're joking about the underwear, but that is non-deductible if used.

Reliable sources say this is where the highspeed manufacturing will take place.

I don't have time to do product management on something like this, but could contribute code and advice.

As ignorance, immaturity, and incentive increase, opinions polarize to "sucks" and "rocks". – Mark Twain

I think a whitelabel site would be a great idea.  git clone, bootstrap and configure, and go from there.  Account management would be tough unless there was federation, but underwriters could choose with whom they would federate for quick transfers.  If they don't trust or even like you, you don't get to participate in the StarCoin Alliance.

You could rapidly define and ensure a minimum level of security including cold wallets, openid or certificate based auth, a simple accounting backend, etc. by making them out of the box.

Mind starting a thread on features and prioritizing functionality into "can't do without", "important to have", and "wouldn't it be nice?"

You're also one of the people about whom no one is worried. :-)  (Correlation?)
