there was literally a company called e-gold, which was sucessful until they were shutdown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-gold#Crime_and_fraud inevitably, if a competing currency pisses off the governemnt, it will be shutdown if it is cen

The armory used to exist; basically silk road for guns. I am not aware of any other tor hidden services offering a market, but it is doubtless that these transactions are actually taking place (maybe not for canned goods).

Hey, I am 30 and also a loser! I have built some things, including a web app that got exactly one customer who runs his business on it, and I just let it sit there month after month, not failing, but not growing because I don't market it a

More like customers of amazon, Google and apple. If suddenly what they were offering sucked, the 'little guys' would put their resources elsewhere.

Well you determine what counts as spam and just don't propagate it. Fees are a part of the process of keeping spam out of the blockchain. Some people also count sending 'bitdust' as spam.. seemingly defined as anything less than 10k satos

I am not a developer for bitcoin, but I have been following along in #bitcoin-dev and reading some of the forum threads. (most interesting conversation by far is on freenode) In pools/miners that are not blocking satoshi dice 70-95% of ever

localbitcoins.com will work in a lot of places. ziggap.com is another one similar to coinbase. ziggap uses western union/ money gram and so has higher fees, but less wait time. also have seen btc sold on ebay, but with a pretty big marku

It is nearly impossible if I play satoshi dice with my coins for a while via TOR before spending them, or.. I buy them via cash through localbitcoin.

Well your logic is obviously flawed, because people do use bitcoins for transactions and they have changed by hundreds of percentage points. "No one" is patently false. Besides, illicit transactions are still transactions. And.. you are

There is much, much, more merchant acceptance, transaction volume, etc. for Bitcoin compared to the last time there was a big rise; not to mention production is only half of what it was before; ASICs are here/on the horizon, YC has funded a

Ripple appears to essentially be Hawala ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawala ) in digital form. I'm actually not sure of the necessity of XRP; since bitcoin, or any other currency can propagate across the network.

idk, I don't really see any reason that it is better to give vermonters jobs at 10% above the median wage for the area than chinese people or wherever these jobs are going. I do think corporations have certain obligations, like not polluti

Having lived within miles of this plant for almost a decade; no one is surprised by this. The vast majority of jobs they offer pay a tiny bit better than the normal jobs around (which are much, much higher than the average of the country);

Presumably because we live in such an anti-"drug" climate that taking on this type of research could have a presumably negative impact on their careers; not to mention the extra effort to get something like this approved. I don't think the

Find an american friend with a SSN? I am not sure this would really work, but it's definitely worth a shot. Of course your friend will have to count it as income; but honestly this will probably be a lot cheaper than hiring a lawyer if it

Point taken, it's not only an emotional reaction; I get that context based ads aren't the same as someone reading my email. I was really just making light of what is an obvious contradiction in my values. We would be naive to think that

I find it hilarious that I emotionally support Google enough that my immediate reaction is "HEY ITS NOT SO BAD" when I see this page; and then roll my eyes at the petition. At the same time I don't use facebook for privacy issues and the t

I also have one of these through the developer program. It is very neat, but it does not seem ready for prime time. When it is locked on to your fingers, it is fast ; shockingly and amazingly fast and accurate. However, it drops fingers

I have been following bitcoin since they were less than a penny each, and got my first coins at about .20 each. I have written articles (really the only thing I have ever written that has been widely read) about bitcoin, and I want to see
