Lo and behold I had eight different processes helpfully called bitcoin-miner.exe running and a hidden folder with a buttcoin mining app in it.

archangelwar posted:Haha, this is so true. Same with Social Contract. They always come back with some horrible website definition and intiate Plan: Strawman. I think their main problem with the social contract is that it isn't a physical contract. Like if there was a private gated community that had all the same rules, services, and fees of a municipal government but was administered by the Home Owners Association instead of city council, they wouldn't have a problem with that because you signed the contract before you moved in. They would happily pay high fees for private security, private fire departments, private garbage collection, groundskeepers, a private school, a private clinic, a community center, some dweeb with a clipboard who goes around issuing warnings and fines for bylaw violations, etc., because all those people are protecting their property values. Unlike those lazy fatcats in municipal governments who do the same things for you against your will. I doubt that they really want to opt out and return to a state of nature, even if there was a place they could do that. They just look around at our modern very large, complex, mobile, and diverse societies and think "I never agreed to this." They feel small, powerless and insignificant. They feel alienated. It's perfectly normal to feel that way sometimes, because monkey brains weren't really designed for dealing with this many people, or to have people continuously moving in and out of your group. City life literally makes us all a little crazy. They can't blame "society" as a whole for being incomprehensible, so they blame "government". If government was smaller, less powerful, then things would be better.

Talking of bitcoin porn I have thought of a replacement system for bitcoins. Instead of the exponentially increasing amount of gpu power for mining it could instead be based on porn viewing habits. I haven't figured out how the exchange would work but I was thinking the jars full of semen could be traded for USD.

How the hell do these people not understand that in the libertarian utopia of their dreams, anyone who wants anything just has to shoot them for it? It's a simple concept. You have something, I want it, so i kill you and take it. No one's going to punish me for it, because there is no government. I could type forever about why their ideas suck, maybe I'll start posting on that board that pays in buttcoins for posts.

As I recall the computer the federal weather office uses to predict weather patterns over the usa would put out 60% of the total mhash on the network if they decided to do that. Not that it'd matter because the USA could just pay for and build some dedicated hash bustin chips for hashing with anyway.

Has anyone else noticed that the number of Bitcoin-related submissions on news.ycombinator.com has dropped to almost nothing now? Just two months ago there were at least 3 BitCoin related stories on the frontpage at any given time.

Don't come here with this bullshit about being a white knight here to save the bitcoin community from the evils of Vegetta and Atlas and at the same time you viciously mock the community for 335 pages on your forum filled with passive aggressive, mentally broken social rejects. Aw poo poo, who let the passive aggressive, mentally broken social rejects onto this forum?

You'd think they'd be happy when the trading volume picks up and there are large sales just like on real exchanges...but apparently not.quote:I really do understand that you must do everything to try to crush the trust in Bitcoin, just like you do with gold - but guys.. executing the largest sale in 9 days - on sunday, when MTGOX users are virtually dried out of money.. c'mon.. If you want us to believe that this is a natural market activity- you MUST try to be more subtle then that. https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=29687.0 It seems that if you're a holder of a large number of BTC and you choose to cash out, you must be some kind of financial terrorist.
