vOv posted:two fish are in a tank. the first one says, 'A tank is a large type of armoured fighting vehicle with tracks, designed for front-line combat. Modern tanks are strong mobile land weapons platforms, mounting a large-calibre cannon in a rotating gun turret. They combine this with heavy vehicle armour providing protection for the crew of the weapon and operational mobility, which allows them to position on the battlefield in advantageous locations. These features enable the tank to have enormous capability to perform well in a tactical situation: the combination of strong weapons fire from their tank gun and their ability to resist enemy fire means the tank can take hold of and control an area of the battle and prevent other enemy vehicles from advancing, for example. In both offensive and defensive roles, they are powerful units able to perform all primary tasks[which?] required of armoured troops on the battlefield.[1] The modern tank was the result of a century of development from primitive armoured vehicles, due to improvements in technology such as the internal combustion engine, which allowed the rapid movement of heavy equipment required to construct armoured vehicles. As a result of these advances, tanks underwent tremendous shifts in capability during the World Wars of the 20th century.'

The story that you are in contact with a foreign person of wealth who is in a difficult situation and needs financial assistance that will be returned several fold has been separating fools from their money for four centuries, so there's no need to change it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Prisoner

I read all the earlier Discworld books (like first 20 or so) as a teenager and loved them, and now when I read Pratchett I don't get anything out of it, and I can't tell whether his writing got worse or my tastes just changed. wasn't there a thing a couple of months ago where someone was sending blackmail notes to people saying "pay me buttcoins or I'll send letters to your neighbours saying you are a pedo". did that guy get caught yet? i expect that will yield laffs when it happens

Crust First posted:his words: So if I were to create a LukeJrBaitCoin, then would he just be able to mine my coin in parallel with Bitcoin or would mining my coin prevent him from mining Bitcoin? Because it seems like it'd be fun to just create lots of alt coins to waste this guy's time. I'm sure I could start my own alt coins, I'm not a smart man, but I know what #include is. Maybe he would only attack an alt coin once it actually had some hashing power behind it so I'd have to invest some of my own electricity to actually get him to treat it as a threat and attack it  Actually I just decided

surebet posted:here's a nugget from the grey thread, you know that bitcoin debit card? The big exchanges, especially CoinBase, are sending your personal financial information straight to the IRS, FinCEN, FinTRAC and other revenue and anti-money laundering agencies. The government is almost certainly compiling a database of people who own Bitcoin. Think we're paranoid? Remember what happened during World War II? Gold became illegal and the government forcibly seized privately-held stores of gold. Bitcoin represents a greater threat to the fiat money system than gold ever did, so the same confiscation order could eventually be issued by the Treasury. And if you use a big exchange, the government almost certainly knows how much Bitcoin you've purchased. If you fail to declare it on your income tax return, you may have a nasty surprise coming one day. investigating tax fraud = hitler

also good to see a bitcoin company straight up saying they won't be compliant because the government is evil. this means they might try a gold fringe defense. also, what's the rationale for why freemen of the land think the government is corrupt and dishonest, yet also strictly bound to the literal phrasing of the constitution?
