We simply want valve to only take in account win/loss, because that's just what matters. Right now your damage, XP, etc are taken in account, which benefits some heroes (especially nuker carries), while not benefiting tanks and supports (especially a team-buff support like Omniknight).

Make calibration 20 games (and allow ranked 10 matches earlier to keep the equation equal) if you need to, just take in account win/loss.

You do not control your private keys on Coinkite.

Use Blockchain.info or Greenaddress where you have access to private keys (full or n of m).

No, it wouldn't.

Contract disputes concerning quantities of an asset is by default fungible. For example, there is no "this" 500kg cherries, no "this" ten M450 Dell servers..

  1. For fungible assets (which Bitcoin is one), there is no distinction made between this unit or that unit. It's the amount that matters, so Ryan cannot sell his last 750 BTC.

  2. The methodology for the fiftfh amendment in civil cases is much different so it may not apply (I do not practice US law). Good point though.

Paypal chargeback scam over? by TacticalParadise in Bitcoin

Generally, people charge back using the unauthorised option. This policy change doesn't address that, so PayPal disputes will still be possible.

Detructoid Editor-in-chief leaves: "I feel certain actions taken and statements made by Destructoid management have not accurately reflected my feelings or taken my input as Editor-in-chief into account." by thedz in Games

The reason is to do with the Z=oe Qu=inn affair. Dev has sex with a variety of journalists and judges for the IGF, and such dev's game gets high scored and awards.

Unfortunately, most gaming media has chosen to silence the issue, and /r/Games has chose to automatically shadowban (through automoderator) anyone who mentions z0e qu_inn.

This is a convincing reason why the ABC should have programs cut. I'm all in for a government funded media for news and discourse, but this should be funded privately.

Bitstamp tweets that they are watching for the BTC stolen from Mintpal "so they are not channeled though #Bitstamp." Promising development or dangerous precedent? by DoubleSpent in Bitcoin

What do you think the hackers would deposit to bitstamp for other than wanting fiat?

Taint analysis is already performed by Coinbase. They closed my account because I withdrew coins to a mixer.

Under AML laws, they have an obligation to place a hold on the transaction if there is evidence that it is proceeds from illegal activities.

Everything involving the internet fits the definition of cloud computing. Reddit is definitely in the definition of cloud computing.

What you've said means nothing.

That has nothing to do with 'cloud computing' and is simply persistent online.

If I want to argue that my collectable baseball cards are currency, ought I be allowed?

Strawman argument. This is like the people that argue "It will lead us to marrying dogs!" against same sex marriage.

Collectable baseball cards are not fungible or divisible, two of the four properties of a currency. Therefore, collectable baseball cards are not currency.

Anything that meets the four properties of a currency, and is used as a currency, should be a currency. How difficult is this to understand?

As you obviously have no logical arguments, I no longer will be responding further to you. Perhaps you can give me an example of something that meets the properties of a currency, and shouldn't be classified as a currency .... except everything that meets these properties are logically currencies.

I don't think you realize that it's only GST exempt, and there are already regulatory frameworks that prevent someone from going "Buy $1 USD for $1000 AUD, and get a free laptop, GST free!"

Classifying cryptocurrencies as a currency does not add any loopholes. It simply fixes something that is broken:

  1. You buy some Bitcoin. You have to pay GST on it.

  2. You use your Bitcoin to buy a laptop. You have to pay GST on the laptop. You are double taxed.


Your definition of what you consider a currency is arbitrary. For hundredsof years, currencies have been issued by private companies, having no concept of 'sovereign taxing on it'.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
