Agreed that if there's one banking quote to remember, it's that one. I like this, too:
That was actually Cromwell dismissing the Rump Parliament, but I think it fits the theme of banking too. From around the same time:
William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England in 1694
Quote
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice. Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government. Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes, have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance. Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place. Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!

The bank hath benefit of interest on all moneys which it creates out of nothing.
William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England in 1694
It's also insolvent, leveraged at 80:1, i.e. an ~1% move downwards in the value of the shitty collateral they're holding (think mortgage backed securities) makes them bankrupt. If anyone ever told the truth, of course.

Re: [ANN][AUTO-SWITCH] Profit-switch auto-exchange pool: CleverMining.com
WafflePool just switched to a new fully custom stratum layer, and changed what qualifies as a rejected share. Because of the change to rejected share determination, the WP stats are going to (for the first time) be more roughly equivalent to CM's stats. Classically, CM stats always appeared falsely higher then WP - this should decrease now.
Just a lol from me in that "classically" in cryptoworld means over the past couple of weeks
Yes, there's a lot of theory rather than practise it seems. I read about a lot of scams with BTC ASICs, delays and so on. I'd certainly not be pre-ordering an ASIC; I'm an interested observer at this point, hence this thread.
So I can't find a thread that looks at all the different Scrypt ASICs that are around/due. AFAIK only the gridseed is actually available now, but there are more in development, so here's a quick compare/contrast thread.
FlowerTech Orchid - 10MHs - 300W (30W/MHs) - $1900 ($190/MHs) - Q3 2014
AlphaTechnology Viper - 5MHs - 100W (20W/MHs)- $2230 ($446/MHs) - Q2/Q3 2014
Gridseed Infinity Mini Lil Bit - 3MHs - 70W (23W/MHs) - $2285 ($762/MHs) - now
If anyone else knows about more ASICs that are due, feel free to add the details to the thread, and I'll keep this updated. Seems like GPUs might have another 6 months left, though perhaps the next generation of faster video RAM will change things.

which of those then is the "Bitcoin being" whose fate this thread ultimately is about? 
I'd say that Bitcoin is an idea birthed by fractal shards of an infinite being who've mostly allowed themselves to be convinced that they're meat computers.
I believe the correct verb is "suicided". Unless you really believe that someone chose to kill themselves with a nail-gun. It looks to me like a few bankers want to come clean about the latest giant theft (forex rigging), and are being killed before they talk.
LOL, I'm sure there's some deep cosmic wisdom in there.
Other interesting research - your psychic abilities (and go scroogle either Dean Radin or Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research for actual research into that) depend on your orientation to the galactic centre.
On another subject, and I'd like answers from the astrologers out there:
He based all his calculations on my birth date and only my birth date (and maybe my sex, 'cause it's easy to guess...).
From just that, he was able to tell me how many brothers and sisters I had, when I lost my virginity (down to the year) and also a truly major and significant event in my life (even though, for this one, it could be just me seeing things the way I want to see them).
My question is, with the advance of big data, hasn't astrology been completely debunked yet ?
Because really, you can't expect everyone born the same day to have the same number of brothers and sisters (or even find a high correlation coefficient).

Read a few pages back in this thread, we had a discussion noting what scientific evidence there is. And note that the one man who did do a PhD in this (Gauquelin) committed suicide after the university he studied at threw out his work, despite the fact that others repeated it. It is still a very unpopular subject today because when you notice that astrology works (and I'd point you to the fact that Arch Crawford, a financial astrologer, has won the market timer award more than almost anyone else), you start to question the materialist notions that are so key to convincing humans that they are meat computers, rather than spiritual beings. It's much easier to control someone who believes that they are a meat computer, than someone who believes that they might be a fractal shard of something infinite. Very similar to Leary's comments about judging a society on the drugs it criminalises and those that are legal to me - anything that opens the mind is illegal.
I just checked the btc chart and yes, those numbers are correct. What is even more interesting though, is that Pluto is at 13°34' on the 15th. BTC's Sun is at 13°30', so essentially this Grand Cross is sitting on (just after) Bitcoins Sun.

Yes, it's funny how tied into this grand cross BTC's chart is. Makes me wonder if we'll some major financial developments around that time; a few recent events are similar to the crash of 2008 (copper falling rapidly, shipping prices falling rapidly, gold going up), so perhaps we'll get a Lehman redux. I wonder how/if the people of the world will react if we start chucking trillions of freshly created dollars to private banks, again.

Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money.

Seems like I'm not the only astrologer looking at mid-April being potentially rather memorable (this is even in the lamestream media):
Quote
Susan Miller has important news for us. "April's so scary that I'm giving classes on it," she says, tracing a series of points on her impossibly complicated astrology chart. "Look, we have a perfect square on 15 April 15 April! You've got Jupiter at 12, and Uranus at 13, and Pluto at 13, and Mars at 16 but wait! It's going to get a little bit worse." She furrows her brow while she studies the chart. "Look at 29 April!" I look. "Some people feel the stock market is
" She pauses for such a long beat that I offer to complete her sentence: "
going to crash?" She shakes her head. "This is even worse we've not had this since the American Revolution."
Re: [ANN][AUR][MANDATORY UPDATE] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland
I love this idea. It'll be fascinating to see how it plays out, if people are smart enough to actually free themselves from slavery banks given the opportunity. Much respect balduro for an idea that could have far-reaching impact.
The best video on the subject of money and banking I've seen is "Money as Debt". Followed swiftly by "The Money Masters". If you watch either of those and you don't get angry, you're not paying attention.
Re: Amagi Metals was invited to speak at the Cryptocurrency Conf in NYC - need input
There seems to be a successful divide/conquer tactic going on between goldbugs and bitcoinbugs, judging by the typical attitude towards BTC at zerohedge. So perhaps focussing on similarities between the 2 could be useful - no banks involved, decentralised creation, not created as debt, no usury are a few that spring to mind. Security issues could be worth discussing, too - would you keep your gold at the comex (mtgox), or a safe (cold storage wallet)? I see gold and BTC as complementary, gold for long term holdings, BTC for spending or to profit (perhaps) from volatility, if that's your bag.
The tards there just don't get Bitcoin.
They are a bunch of old geezers who are polishing their AR15's and their gold bricks and don't see any other way to preserve their capital (if they have any) from the evil banks and the FED.
You can't sink Bitcoins in a lake and pretend it was a boating accident so they don't want it.
They say think like "It's TOO-LIPS and a PONZI and the mighty government will ban it and take away all your Bitcoins whilst I'm sitting in on my porch with gun in hand defending my gold stash."

Nonsense!

vokain, it's not so unusual to have total lunar eclipses; we had 3 in one year in the 1991-2000 decade, for example. Typically we get 2 lunar eclipses a year, mostly penumbral rather than total. They serve to heighten the energy of the full Moon, but I wouldn't get doomy just because it's a total lunar eclipse. This particular coming total lunar eclipse in April activates the Uranus-Pluto square that is going on, which is why I focus on it, especially as Jupiter and Mars are added to the mix, too.
Very interesting last couple of posts, looks like the Bitcoin astro chart should be tweaked to reflect San Bernardino, Los Angeles as the place of birth - maybe he'll set up some Satoshi Foundation or prizes, like the Nobel prizes now that he's been so publicly doxxed.
20 may seems so interesting.... even more interesting for litecoin
so much will be happening that day, I guess if all this is somehow related to that day! who knows we will see about that...and btw Litecoin from 8 to 10 March something is also there
When (and where, if anyne knows) was the first Litecoin mined? I looked at the blockchain and see 2011-10-08 02:29:19 but I don't know whether that's 8th Oct or 10th August!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
Dates are formatted like this so that sorting them by their alphanumeric representation will put them in chronological order. As such, longer time periods precede shorter time periods.
That depends on where you live; UK notation is different. I didn't know that was the logic behind ISO 8601, though, so thanks for that.
Astrologically, the full Moon in mid April is one of the toughest I've ever seen. It activates a grand square between Uranus, Pluto, Jupiter and Mars; I would guess we're going to see some fireworks around there, be it on the political stage (Ukraine is an obvious guess), or the financial one. This current Uranus-Pluto square started back in the 60s (the conjunction), the summer of love, the hippies...we're being pushed towards making concrete some of these ideas, I think. The US chart is activated by this set of squares, so they'll likely be involved.
