Libertarians are literally inseparable from satanists

I can't comprehend how, in this day and age, that people can still say that another person's life is worth less than nothing to them.
It really depresses me how hateful some people are.

Give me money equal to how much you value a human life or I'll kill myself!

I accept bitcoins, wallet link in profile.

Don't be a hateful hypocrite.

I have never said any of that at all ever? I was commenting on the fact that the most voted for option was the one that literally says that the more humans die the better.

I wonder how long it takes until someone on the bitcoin forums realises this and the whole mtgox thing are why we need regulations

Seriously. What has gone so wrong for so long a time in your life that you can conceive of bitcoins with a hole in the middle that you can gently caress? Why would you try to buy sex with bitcoins? Why would you get smug about getting a divorce?
Who the gently caress goes into a marriage preparing for a divorce, let alone being smug about it? It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

I just read over 35 pages of this thread, and I'm really regretting that I decided it wasn't worth it to follow it any more.

After the bitcoins fall to a really small amount each I'm going to buy $5 worth of them, put the wallet.dat on a USB as a souvenir and a reminder of the dangers of economic bubbles

Does this mean for every unit of energy inputted into the machine that 5 units come out? Also the jokes on them because we are the Free Mesons, and we did not approve that machine.
That's what they are saying. Their machine can literally create energy from nothing.

I didn't appreciate having my avatar updated like that; I didn't realize admins/mods/whatever could shove their fists up who-ever's asses and muck with avatars; not cool IMO.

I think that MtGOX is faking sales. It helps them out and it helps sellers out. If they keep moving towards it rising, then even some buyers will come out ahead. Gotta take risks in this game called economics.

Would they lose money if they sold bitcoins to themselves to prop the price up? If they did that they stand to make money from the people rushing to sell while the price is slightly higher

Is mtgox broken for any other aussie goons with telstra? It works for a mate with optus, but for me it just brings up my isps search engine that has mtgox as the first result. When you try clicking on it, it brings you back to the same page

Not in Australia, but that smells like a DNS problem. Try changing your DNS server to 8.8.8.8 (Google's public DNS) and see if that fixes it.

I'm in Sydney and using three - it's working fine for me. Have you logged onto Bigpond to see whether Telstra is having any network issues?

No I haven't, but I did do a speedtest and I got the usual 19.3/.8 I normally get. It only happening with mtgox so far.

I don't know whats wrong then

Does anyone have that graph of bitcoin price of the past 12 months? I'm trying to convince a friend they are stupid and google isn't helping

Buttcoin.org just saved my mate from making another dumb mistake

I just tried mtgox again, and now the site has wizards.com as the first result.

Try accessing it through VTunnel. If you can, somebody probably hijacked your browser.

Is Vtunnel supposed to load text only?

I just tried (Not through vtunnel) with the latest version of FF and it gives the Telstra search site as well

Lolie posted:

Is your IP dynamic? If so, it's possible that when you connected you got allocated an IP address which MtGox had previously blocked for some reason.


It's supposed to be but it never changes.
It hasn't changed since last time I checked over a month ago when I attempted to host a games night.

Lolie posted:

Hoping that someone's hacked MtGox so that it points to Wizards.com for everyone makes me a bad person, doesn't it? It would amuse me no end to watch the Bitcoin forumites melt down over being redirected to a Magic: The Gathering website when they go to trade Bitcoins.

That would be hilarious

Before you do that try the following from a command prompt:

> nslookup mtgox.com. <-- the last dot is important!

-and-

> tracert mtgox.com

And paste the results here. Something funny is definitely going on.
Highlighting and ctrl+A dont work in command prompt apparently, so I'll just type it:

nslookup tells me that the server is unknown, and gives me my routers IP (192.168.1.1)
It then does nothing for about 3-4 minutes and then I get a non authoritative answer telling me mtgox's IP

tracert #1 has 3 <1ms to my router IP
#2 has 3 lots of 9ms to 10.222.16.1
Then 28 lots of "* * * request timed out"

I tried google.com and got a non authoritative answer with 5 IPs listed almost instantly, and the tracert gave me the same results as mtgox with slightly slower times for the second IP


I don't really know about this, but the 10.222.16.1 IP would be the ISP's IP right? Maybe there is something broken on their end as other goons with telstra on the other side of the country have no problems.
I asked a mate to do "tracert google" and he got his router's IP then another 12 IPs.
He is with a different ISP though
E: Ttired post, sorry for any mistakes. Just fixed one
