I wish I had an account on reserve to push him over the edge. He's reading this thread, though, so I'll just tell him here. Vegetta, you act like a child. Your idea is lame, and completely neglects the number #1 issue faced by every business, creating and maintaining a userbase by fulfilling a need that isn't met through other services. It's also hilarious that you spent spent 14 months working on it only to get hacked within a month of starting while bragging like you're some big shot in the web development profession. You are actually more ridiculous than bitcoins themselves which is why the thread is suddenly focusing on you. Congrats.

If another manchild had offered the same advice instead of Jessy Kang, would it also have been as enthusiastically rejected? Like is he hung up that it's a woman telling him he's dead wrong, or would he reject any post that doesn't acknowledge him as a master businessman/programmer? E: Just saw this: Vegetta posted:The purpose of the forum is to expand Twitter conversations beyond 140 characters. If you want to post something that's over 140 characters, and get it on Twitter, then Tweet Forum is the best way to do so. Never heard of https://twitlonger.com? motto: "Sometimes 140 characters just isn't enough." 25k likes on facebook.

Well, I seem to really have pissed him off. Too bad he doesn't realize that my questions in that thread were sincere. His site really doesn't make any sense and it really is full of terrible empty bot posts. And somehow he thinks repeatedly posting links to his 25 twitter accounts somehow proves what a media mogul he is. It's loving sad.

Vegetta posted:We are honestly trying to change things at Tweet Forum. It will be a serious discussion with serious people trying to find themselves through knowledge and self-empowerment. I want it to be a community where everyone is respected, and can grow including me. I have many plans for Tweet Forum 2.0 which will be a fully loaded custom built social news engine that will blend social media and news perfectly together like good wine and cheese. The bigger the site gets, the larger the payouts will be. I am not here to scam anyone, I am not here to cause trouble, and I just want a better future for everyone. I think a libertarian paradise where every citizen, young and old, man or women, black or white, can make more money than doctors from the comfort of their home is a noble goal worth striving for. Godspeed, Vegetta

Vegetta, if you're still checking this thread, please know that we are so focused on you because we're all out to get you. We are trying to destroy you in an effort to make Bitcoin fail. We're doing this because our government paymasters are jealous that they didn't think of Bitcoins first. Sincerely, The SA forum undercover FBI squad

It seems bitcoin hit $13.10 earlier tonight and is now sitting around $13.37. The decline post-hack seems to be pretty steady, around $0.50 a week. Also, I like the idea that Vegetta probably found out about this thread because he saw a hundred-fold increase in his forum traffic and found in his referrer logs that it all came from here.

Can someone educate me what possible advantage I had, if I was a cam-girl, to sign up to a dubious Bitcoin site considering that - less userbase - much more transaction cost - I have to discount my earnings a ton based on risk of holding bitcoins (which I can't really use and can't withdraw quickly enough) I mean there has to be some advantage that is so big that it would even out these costs of opportunity, since at least on a calculative basis I would literally be losing money on this Bitcoin site. So what is it?

He's in for a nasty shock. Here in the UK it's legal to have sex when you're 16, but not to film yourself doing it until you're 18. There have been the odd few cases of kids putting pictures of their 16-year-old boy/girlfriends on the internet getting done for distributing child porn.

chaosbreather posted:Oh it gets better than that. Because of that action people then won't use nuclear power stations that aren't certified by another company who investigates how power stations dispose of waste. People could pay that company money to shut down waste disposal companies, so they outsource mercenaries to help enforce public safety. But if some people refuse to pay for safe waste disposal, that means everyone suffers, so the majority who want safety and not tumours pay mercenaries to shake down the minority to force them to pay for the good of the public. For a practical example of this, read http://web.archive.org/web/20090321120934/http://overruledblog.com/2009/03/14/libertarians-are-dumb-or-why-we-eat-heinz-ketchup/. Summary: Heinz started as a company that, in contrast with their competitors, didn't use rotten tomatoes in their ketchup. People still bought from their competitors. So Heinz started lobbying for the creation of a regulatory agency that would later become FDA. This agency then put Heinz' competitors out of business.

People should be able to buy rotten food if they prefer. And if they didn't know it's rotten, that's their own fault for not taking the time to travel all over the country and performing surprise inspections of every link of the supply chain for every product they buy

It still blows me away how stupid Vegetta is about Kang not being interested in his "business." She offered some advice and he offers her a job and then immediately gets on her case about her "lack of credentials." It's as though I showed up to, say, the Boston Celtics office to do some editing for their programs or whatever. Then, the guys in the office say "hey, do you want to be a Boston Celtic?" While I'm flabbergasted, they start ripping on me for being 5'6" and out of shape. Dude, she just doesn't want to be on your team. You are the LA Clippers of small business. Also, I'm not into any sort of fetish scene, but even I know that dominatrix-type women aren't actually about putting down their man or men in general. It seems like the guy and the gal both do it for fun and in good humor, which is two things Vegetta knows nothing about. Well, besides sex.

makomk posted:Now think about what happens if company A owns a significant chunk of the press and gets them to publish stories about how the damage is in fact caused by something else and any claims to the contrary are just lies by competitor B to distract from the fact they make their product by massacreing little fluffy bunnies. Getting enough reliable information to consumers for them to make a rational choice is hard; the Bitcoin forums are actually a good demonstration of that. So are various other things that would inevitably drive this thread waaay off topic. And this is all assuming that the externalities eventually do affect everyone, which is a bad assumption. Factory farms have extreme regional impacts and much smaller national impacts. It's still a rational decision for people in the city to buy cheap meat that fucks over communities near the CAFO.

As much as libertarians like to talk about the free market, they have virtually no grasp of any economics more advanced than supply and demand. Try getting any of them to explain how externalities are handled in libertopia, and you can practically hear them on the other side of the internet, googling "externalities" to figure out what you're talking about.

Since you need to be able to consent to contracts independently of parents/guardians to do porn, almost all countries have the legal age to be in a porno or to work a sex line, etc, as 18 even when the age to gently caress is lower.
