why is that a gif, lol.

The way I got my wife on board with moissanite vs diamond is I told her, "Let's go to a dept store and compare moissanite vs diamond. ... I'm only spending 2k USD on a ring. Here's a 2k USD diamond ring that's smaller than you want. Here's a 200USD moissanite ring that's of the same size. You...

There's no point in the last few months where increasingly dour news about mtgox has severely devalued the market. Now that mtgox is gone I think you'll see the same kind of shit pulled on other exchanges, but it'll probably be less severe and harder to do.

I don't have any decent pics of the actual ring, but here's the image my wife photoshopped together that we sent the jewelsmith to cast. Paying a professional to build a model of it, then cast the gold into a unique ring was the most expensive part, but I don't mind paying for unique stuff and...

Are any law enforcement doing that though? The federal government has the FBI, IRS and Secret Service to ensure that people are doing what they're supposed to with money, but are they even paying attention to BTC? It seems counter-productive for the federal government to spend any effort to...

We'll see. mtgox being fucked has been more or less accepted by the market for a few months now. Anytime an exchange/bank stops letting you withdraw for more than a day it's a hugely bad sign. I think if BTC fails it's because people have accepted its inherent flaws rather than mtgox ruining...

There's no model that can answer that for you. It's subjective. Moissanite is very similar to diamonds but has slightly different properties that make them their own stone. You have to see one for yourself and make the choice for yourself. For me, I chose to set a price for 1-4k USD for an...

Thanks for the explanation. I think the disagreement was because I was using the term wallet as in literally the wallet in the back of your pants, but the BTC community uses the word wallet as in the way you describe.

0. I wish I invested back when I started researching it, it's increased 1600% since then. edit: For full disclosure one of my index ETFs might have money in moissanite somehow, but I'm sure I have more than an order of magnitude more money in debeers.

Serious question: What's the difference? To me it's the same, MTGOX had unique access to the public/private key pairs.

VS2005 is the best I've used for C++ (and obviously C#). 2008 and 2010 are like VS2005 but with features I don't use, a carat I can't change the color of and a ton of delay with most operations (I've used it on about 5 different PCs). Eclipse is pretty good though, the best I've found for...

You don't have a wallet file. You gave it to mtgox for safekeeping. Someone crept in and stole it. If the people who lost hundreds or thousands of BTC because of mtgox kept their wallet in their own pocket (ex: encrypted on an external hard drive or encrypted on their google drive...) then...

I don't think rinthe is saying that regulation is unilaterally bad. I think he was saying it is not unilaterally good.

yup. It's slightly less hard, is more refractive and is birefringent. Additionally all the lab-created moissanite are nearly perfect, where as naturally created diamonds have a lot of variance in color, cut and clarity. You can get near-perfect diamonds, but you'll have to go through the process...

half off is a pretty good price. That number will inevitably drop, but it's much lower than when I looked at this a while ago.

That's the sinister part. My wife is well aware of both the value and the nature of her ring. However nearly everyone else who sees it assumes it's a diamond. We don't hide the fact it's moissanite (you can guys can imagine how insufferable I am when the diamonds topic comes up), but it never...

Shares in xbox warranty purchases just went down.

Nah. No matter what you can do it can be stolen. 1. If you keep it on a bank/exchnage like coinbase, mtgox, whatever it can be stolen like we saw with mtgox. 2. If you keep it on a digital wallet stored in a password encrypted file on a computer that is disconnected from any networks it can be...

One element of 'regulation' they're talking about it is some kind of open-network of black and red listing of stolen BTC. As in those BTC 'lost' by mtgox are marked as stolen and exchanges/stores that subscribe to this black/red network will be made aware of a marked BTC. This, of course...

"If I extract one element from your line of thought, ignore all context, culture and reason, then extend it in stupid ways I come up with ridiculous and useless questions and conclusions!"

I wonder how centralized the theft was. Can you imagine some geek in his parents basement sitting on 750k BTC?

Like your wife never spent time just staring at her ring or the reflections of light it produces. Shit has intrinsic value to remind her that you love her, and has value because it reminds everyone around her that you love her. The bigger the ring the more of a reminder it is.

The Guardian by Rebecca Yanovskaya - INPRNT

Yeah maybe you're right.

Looks great. I'm glad to see they gave the bad guy the dupstep gun.

I think that report is bullshit. I don't think they had that many btc.

lulzhttps://www.mtgox.com/ I wonder if the Japanese mafia et all will kill Mark Kerperples.

no

It's the flip side to 'men only love a woman because of their vagina and men's instinctual need to deposit semen.'. It's the kind of bullshit a first year anthropologist student will say halfway through their first psychology class. Yeah, for millions of years the root of female attraction...

Good description of why people have so much trouble with it. In addition if you haven't spent the effort to really learn how to fight those knights it's non-trivial to beat them, especially since attempts are separated by 5-10minutes of fighting and one wrong move can send you off the ledge...

I don't think so. It's possible it's some crazy gambit but I think the simplest answer is right this time: They got fucked up and lost solubility and then a bank run happened and now the entire system is one big pile of shit. Even if they were to come back and somehow return a good percentage of...

Here's another good fps test: 15 FPS vs. 30 FPS vs. 60 FPS - Bo Allen

Huge difference to me. The one on the right isn't awful but the silky smooth 60fps is much more enjoyable. Gameplay wise it doesn't matter. Dark Souls animations are so slow my problem with timing was always reacting too quick. I had to learn to see "Oh this dick is about to thrust, I better...

I think it would, yeah.

Thanks for posting that gif. I saw he stumbled a bunch after that kick and didn't understand what happened.
