cumshitter posted:I have severe social anxiety so I can appreciate the value of bitcoins, dealers are scary and even worse sometimes they want you to hang out at their place for up to 20 minutes and make small talk. But I get along by writing which drug I want on a t-shirt and pinning a $20 to my chest while walking around skid row staring at my shoes. Eventually someone comes up and rips the $20 and forces the drugs into my hand. Then I squeek out a "th-th-thank you" before running home. Even this would be less retarded than touching bitcoin.

I think it was this thread that was talking about holding a church hostage for bit coins or something. I wanted to post this news article from last April: http://www.pressherald.com/2015/04/10/police-departments-pay-hackers-to-unlock-computer-system/ portland press herald posted:Police departments in midcoast and northern Maine said they have paid ransom to hackers to keep their computer files from being destroyed, WCSH-TV reported Friday night.

I love how everyone talks about Bitcoins value in terms of US dollars. And profiting off Bitcoin by selling them for US dollars.

Waiting 90 days for credit card transactions is pretty frustrating. Sometimes I don't ration right, and run out of food when my next food transaction still has 30 days left until it clears, and I have to forage for food. I need to get in on this Bitcoin craze

And while the egalitarian open source consensus currency Bitcoin is basically unusable, it also has two forks (Bitcoin XT and Bitcoin Classic) that are getting ddos'd into the dirt. It's always so fun to watch libertarians eating each other while proclaiming their love of nonaggression

iirc there was a reddit thread where some bitcoiner lost thousands of bitcoins and posted to suggest that the NSA had cracked the bitcoin protocol and stolen his bitcoins, since otherwise his system had "perfect security" so there was no way that he had downloaded a virus And then it was revealed that he downloads and runs random executables but it's okay because he frequently runs spybot to remove adware so there's nothing to worry about

Ad removing programs loving suck rear end, they all work together to let poo poo get on your system. Download anti spyware programs. Install one and clean. Uninstall it and install the second one. They find different spy ware. Its a pretty amazing scam. People gotta run a legit anti virus program, not something you download from megapcdownloads.com

That's because "good with computers" mostly means "able to find answer to grandma's MSWord problems in help menu"

He seemed to gloss over that 3 of the 5 core developers are on XT, but I'm not sure if that has any significance.

The closest thing we've had to a true believer in this thread was the guy who suggested that bitcoin was a viable option for smuggling money out of Argentina and he vehemently denied being a bitcoiner.
