$18.4 Million Dollars and 198 days later. Feel the Etherburn. by 127fascination in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am financially invested in Bitcoin and only bitcoin. I will not support any altcoin. My financial interests are all in btc, and my financial interests are more important than your yada yada.

Tl;Dr: financial interests.

That's a BAD thing. You want expansion to be generally good, but have a limit on it. Eventually expansion should be bad.

As an economist, do you not realise how the whole Fiat system is a fraud? Sound money does not inflate.

Why did you not disclose your affiliation with being financially involved in Qntra?

They are writers. They are submitting content in a site they have financial in. That's spam.

I am not sure if you are aware of the policies of reddit, but submitting content you have a personal / financial interest in multiple times (unless you balance it out with 9x non-promotional material) is not allowed.

That's spam, and this is spam.

If Qntra hired a new writer and they wrote a single article, and submitted it to /r/Bitcoin, that is spam simply because Qntra has already used up their 'promotional posts'

Qntra writers are spamming reddit by submitting qntra articles. CryptoCoinNews got caught a while ago, do you want to go down to their level?

About the "crazy conspiracy theory" regarding FB/Instagram using your phone's microphone (x-post /r/privacy) by orbat in AskNetsec

[–]goldcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen the tools Apple App Store reviewers use for reviewing/approving apps, and they absolutely know when the microphone is being turned on.

Furthermore, this would be violating many state's wiretapping laws (and you cannot hide this away in the ToS / privacy policy). FB's legal team is competent enough to realize this.

Local Co-op Excluded From PC Version of Resident Evil Revelations by BoogleHander in Games

[–]goldcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I preordered this to a large extent for local co-op. I am getting a refund for this in a very simple way: the next Capcom game I play will be from torrents. As someone who has a 200 game steam library you must do something very bad to make me torrent again.

Actress Emma Thompson and her husband refuse to pay 'a penny more' in taxes until HSBC tax evaders go to jail by BDB_JCD in worldnews

[–]goldcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If 1% of the world does this tax agencies won't even have resources to even follow up with anyone, let along prosecute anyone.

The whole system relies on apathy. If you have a good lawyer you can drag a case out for yeeeears. If enough people does this, by the time your cases finish we'd have moved off a two party system, and moved to proportional representation which lets small parties flourish.

No, if you are an Australian citizen just cite ACL. Our consumer protection agency is suing Valve at the moment and when I mentioned that, their "all sales are final" policy suddenly changed.

An interesting set of unexpected kinks in a Bitcoin merchant transaction by a new adoptee. Circle / BitPay. by BitttBurger in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 29 points30 points  (0 children)

BitPay should detect when they have received only >95% of the amount, and give a warning ("You still need to send 0.000412 more BTC! Did you accidentally send it as USD instead?")

why are you reporting this?
