I'm not in support of banning Bitcoin news, but with titles like this, yeah it kinda is hard to ignore them.

Don't give me that bullshit. It's not hard at all. It's not even close to hard. It would be an understatement to call it easy. Anyone complaining about this is so steeped in entitlement that if they told me such a thing in real life I'm afraid I would become animal-like. Such complaints are worse than pointless and I hope OP or whatever refers to the guy I responded to originally, and to some extent you, get some fucking perspective. It's embarrassing.

  Man, I'm just tired of people crying about how hard their life online is. If someone were complaining to you in real life about how they had to not pay attention to a single line of text — so much so that they had to call it out at the time — I think I would have to just tell them how shitty I think they are. I've seen too many people doing it to pretend it's not a pervasive problem among the tech-literate. Someone needs to tell them their objections are so trivial that they ought not be aired at all. It's a strange paradox!

    You might want to try decaf. This submission is lousy. It has a lousy title and there is zero interesting content. It is pointless. What is anybody learning from this submission?

  I'm afraid I would become animal-like...get some fucking perspective. It's embarrassing. You should follow your own recommendation here and step away from the keyboard for a while... this entire thread just isn't worth getting angry about.

    No, you relax. I'm not going to have you moderates controlling our feed. It's an arena. Anything goes.

  But, what if you became "animal-like" IRL and the guy just completely kicked your ass in response? I mean, that would be a distinct possibility, right? Just hypothesizing on where that scenario would leave things.

The title is a bit opaque but with the domain displayed next to it I don't think it's that hard to infer hash+blocksomething=bitcoin. For what it's worth I don't like all the Bitcoin stories on the front page but sometimes they're interesting (the slow motion train crash that is MtGox) and other times, when they'd not interesting, they're not hard to ignore.

  The problem isnt just the title - this whole submission is pointless. I saw the long hash and assumed it had something to do with bitcoin. I clicked through onto the link, but I still have no idea what's going on. I'm guessing that someone sent and recieved lots of bitcoins in one transaction, but I don't know the significance of that. Perhaps the OP could have linked to an article discussing or describing it? Or even have made the submission a text submission and commented on it himself?

    This is the largest "bitcoin days destroyed" since ever. It's also most likely Mt. Gox's bitcoins that are moving as well. This transaction can be traced back to an arbitrary transaction Mark Karpeles made to prove he still had keys to his address some time ago. Cool facts: - where else does $180million move without any fees, in the blink of an eye? - some transactions after this diverted some money into Satoshi Dice, so it's most likely not the Feds who control this, and they're potentially interested in laundering potential.
