Mine bitcoins

Bitcoins are worth like 7 USD at the moment. It's unstable as fuck yet I love it.

No thank you, i stay with credit card fraud.

That's a huge rise. I jsut remember a few months ago it was at 1$ and abefore that it wasn't even 0.1$. It can only keep rising and rising as long as people use it.
I almost feel a bit upset that I missed the gold rush and I don't really feel like using my GPU to mine, it generates way more heat/cost than the actual profit. Maybe if you made a FPGA miner you could beat the odds, but then you'd make things worse for everyone else by hogging all that gold.

um, the bitcoin system has a pretty bad flaw -- once all coins have been created, their value will increase to fucking hell due to forever increasing demand. in other words, supply saturation occurred way before demand saturation.

So you just transfer less bitcoins to adjust to whatever real currency you want (if you want to trade in real currency, at least for now when there are not many services accepting BTC)? Bitcoins can be fractionally divided to a rather large amount (fixed for now at a dozen or so decimals, but can be increased in the future if the value demands it).

Hm, after a bit more reading, this seems quite interesting. I might operate a node if I deem the system secure after reading the specs and implementation.

Bitcoins allow fractional transactions, up to 8 decimal places.

There's enough decimal places to go around to account for quintillion dollars.

And now is the time to get in. There's no regulation, no restrictions. Got bad credit? Who cares, you can still invest in bitcoins.

The bitcoin economy is set to hit $1 billion USD within 2 years, right now it's only $40 million. Start mining, swindling, trading, and gambling for bitcoins.

There's a bunch of places running black jack with casino rules and have published openly that they us random.org or the PHP5 PRNG for RNG. Once you learn how to count cards, or use card counting software, you can start winning pretty good, just don't win too much or you may arouse suspicion and have your payout revoked.

It's pretty secure, the bitcoin network is set up like TOR, except everyone running the client software also acts like exit node.

It's literally unstoppable unless governments start prosecuting individuals.

The best part about Bitcoin is that if you lose your money, it's your fault!

Fucking brilliant.

So the burden of keeping your money safe shifts from a bank to yourself. Becoming more self reliant and less reliant on the banking system is a bad thing?

Using this kind of argument, you're going to say that cash is only good for illegitimate things.

That more recent "Zeitgeist" movie was a real letdown.  The "Venus Project" kind of took all credibility away from the Zeitgeist thing, for me.

Actually no you couldn't that's the joke about it. There even is some idiot who claims to have ordered structured asics to do the job, and while he gets more per watt he would still be better of with gpus for initial investment.

The "Venus Project"
It advocates precisely the ideas of jewish bankiers: that is kill all the lower races, freeze space programs, make economy sustainable and wait till the second coming of messiah.

Zeitgeist
I watched the first one. It's been a long time but from what I remember all the 3 chapters basically boiled down to ``the jews did it''.

We should start the "Zperger Movement"

To create a world where every autist has his/her needs satisfied. The needs for videogames, fantasy books and tedious and repetitive tasks without having to worry about the real world.

I'm not arguing anything, but as someone who has been mining BTC for the past 3 months, the only real use I've found for my coins is buying prescriptions and LSD on Silk Road.

The difficulty is set to double in a few more days. Then after the next block, if you don't upgrade to a high-powered third generation DX11/GL4 GPU, it's going to be slim pickings for GPU miners.

The future of mining is with FPGA clusters. There's some guys who work at security firms who have huge clusters for breaking weak crypto who are turning them into bitcoin mining centers. We're talking like 100 or more terahashes/sec per FPGA rack.

GPU pool miners just won't be able to compete.

The difficulty just increased yesterday, and takes 2016 blocks (~2 weeks) before it will adjust again.

Where do you have it ship to, your real address? I'm too scared to give out my real address for such items.

Why aren't they using a memory-bound task instead? That way they could force everyone to use their CPUs instead of their GPUs...

Don't be scared, if you have a legit source then you're fine and the worst that could happen legally is that you'll receive a love letter from Customs, but they won't actually do anything unless you're ordering BULK product.

Because it wouldn't offer the same security. Face it scum, without a GPU or dedicated FPGA board, you're a lowly peasant.
