Alright, obviously putting real money into this is retarded as poo poo, as is leaving your computer on all the time to mine it. But is there any drawback to just having it run in the background while you do whatever, and then at the end of the week cashing in and getting yourself a soda?

Wow. I was one of the early posters in the thread, musing about the negligible harm idle mining (as opposed to dedicated mining rigs), really posed, but as I read more about BitCoins (and especially the ravings of its defenders) here the more insane I realized it is, and how dangerous even a "reasonably moderate" opinion like mine was. I disavow my earlier post and have spent the past week reading this thread, which has been a trip. BitCoin defenders don't seem to realize that any point they have made has been made in defense of MLM and other schemes before, schemes which are populated by two kinds of people - suckers and grifters. The nice thing about this thread, though, is that like with other hot topics, it's been great for updating the ignore filter for idiot posters. "And nothing of value was lost" has never been more true.

Amaritudo posted:Did I just trip and fall into the NationStates forums? And the only thing more insufferable than a libertarian with absolute faith in the compassion of corporations is a non-libertarian with absolute faith in the compassion of government. The point of the former is to create profit, the point of the latter is to keep the former in line and make sure that everyone toes the bottom line. Compassion is irrelevant to them both.

EDIT: Little did I know that what libertarians would think of next is floating vice cities from which to prey on the poor and each other, though

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Gonna get banned. What you want is bitimelineilluminati.png Don't be ridiculous. The mods take their orders from Wafflehound, our masonic master, not the other way around.  Also, bitcoiners: it costs you ten dollars (two or three bitcoins, depending on the time of day and the average speed of unladen swallows on Mt. Everest), or twenty if you're Azreal, to post here, but it costs us nothing to add you to an ignore list. Bear this in mind while white-knighting your shameful scam.

Holy loving poo poo, how can you even lurk here five years and not know that people can buy titles for other people. Did you figure people chose all the big red text titles declaring themselves dumbasses of their own volition?You also realize it only costs you five dollars to change your avatar but it costs other people ten? Sell EDIT: Also stop being a dumb-rear end white knight for hosed internet libertarian cryptocurrency
