jurov: what? you think it's the same as s.nsa?
gecko_x2: it makes you locked in as a slave
deadweasel: gecko_x2: the government is not as efficient as you seem to believe.

kleeck_: Jere_Jones, as per my CPU mining scenario, we can't really know that. You are correct that under current ROI calculations it is not profitable. However, if Bitcoin rises appropriately those individuals could see excellent return on their mining investment.
Jere_Jones: I think jurov has a very significant point that people starting to mine now can't claim profit as a motive because they will never make a profit.
mircea_popescu: The cash shipment was headed for a $6 million dollar Bel Air home (7400-square-feet with five bedrooms and eight bathrooms) owned by Shapiro’s in-laws.

Namworld: oh... I get the same images as you
ozbot: As Seen on TV - a tribute to doing it wrong - YouTube
Vexual: have you seen those guys? they could load a freighter by hand just as fast
Namworld: As much as I believe in Bitcoin's growth, I don't believe in overnight 10-30% changes
