What are your thoughts on BitCoin?

If any of us were face to face with you, we'd be too awed by your presence to even speak. You know this, so don't use unfair examples against others!

Be fair, I think most people wouldn't know what to say to a mostly nekkid dude in a stormtrooper helmet.
 
You know what I mean. If we were face to face none of this would have happened. It would have gone:

"What do you think about BitCoins?"
"They're nice in theory, but in practice they're totally useless."
"Yeah, that's my impression too. Want another beer?"
"Sure."

No stupid images, no calling them buttcoins, no "libertards" (which is totally offensive to people with learning disorders btw), no acting like a prick at all.
I am flattered you think I am less of an asshat in real life than I am online. <3

Well, by that token, you also wouldn't be so frank calling everybody pricks. :smug:

Yeah, that's true. I shouldn't have called people pricks. I feel like that one line made the thread go a whole lot worse than it should have done... I naively thought that the people who were acting like pricks would have seen themselves being called out on it and thought "huh, yeah, maybe I should tone it down a little". So I'll do that myself, and tone it down a little.
 
To be honest, I really didn't think I was being a prick up to that point and I was honestly concerned you thought I was and wanted to know why.

Sorry everyone for make all the nasty, except you of Domen :mad:
 
For the record, I didn't have you in mind when I said it, Hobbs. I said "a lot of people" because I didn't want to be specific, and I wanted people who thought they might be doing something prickish to stop anyway.
 
Only cfc can go from everybody calling everybody pricks to a massive group hug/"I love you man!" in less than a page.

What a circlejerk :3

For my own part, I acknowledge you're right and I'm a jerk. :(

I read Shadowplay's post and instantly thought of this.....to see it materialize directly under has put a spring in my step for the rest of the day. Very cool. R.I.P Kurt

At least the Tavern isn't a hugbox anymore.
 
Mise stop posting boring garbage you whiny little turd.

Fun facts. Currently, in order to use Bitcoin, you have to download a 4gig file as a record of all transactions extant. Not everyday, but you have to remain connected in order to update it.

Here is the projected increase of the size of the file:

Ah, misinterpreted something from earlier. According to projected increases in the number of transactions per unit time, this is the projected size of the file tracking and validating every single transaction that has occurred.
 
Meh, bitcoins are limited with their electronic representation.

I think dungcoins are better. Dung is naturally limited by the number of living cattle in the world. It degrades with time, thus retiring older coins and eliminating the need for lengthy transaction records. And you'll have to spend or invest your dung before it decomposes, thus guaranteeing a good speed of monetary circulation - a dung economy will be free from liquidity crisis! It has a physical existence for all those in-hand transactions. And it can be represented electronically with a unique signature derived from the chemical composition of each turd, I'm sure we can built portable machines capable of making an on-the spot analysis and create the appropriate hash. The we just have to set up the necessary dung exchanges to clear the market for those who want to realize their electronic transaction in physical currency.

It does poses some problems to banking, but that is a bonus! It must be full reserve banking, and financial crisis will be averted because even in the event of decomposition on the vaults the bank can still sell manure to cover any losses. Bankers, will, of course, have to be renamed but I'm sure that appropriate names will be found for their activity.

This looks like a fatal flaw. How can I continually update 20TB worth of file in 2019? That's like 2000 Gigs a month in bandwidth just so I can use Bitcoin which is insanity.
