+1 I read through the source. Not Microsoft level coding....but it is very innovative.

Now here's a good troll Wink

Wow you are horrible at spotting troll posts. That was actually genuine. I meant what I wrote. LOL

You do know what this means, don't you?

Wow no one was talking to you....you're really lonely aren't you? Cheesy

Uh oh.... smoothie's switched to asshole mode again Roll Eyes.

LOL i prefer to call it HONEST mode. But you can use that one to describe it.  Grin

Right... making assumptions based on one sentence from a person you've never met is bound to always be the truth.

Oh yes...oh yes... Cheesy

Seems more or less equivalent to the last one by your metrics.


Hm? What metric?


The metric of how many bites they get.  Each got exactly one response.  Yours Smiley


The first one ("you just hit ignore because you don't have anything to say") didn't get me agitated at all. The one about microsoft writing the highest quality code however, reminded me of countless instances (a very long time back, gladly) where I could've destroyed my screen or keyboard over "microsoft code quality". Remembering these instances and triggering a general microsoft-distaste in me raised my blood pressure at least slightly and almost got me to feed the troll.


MS is a big company with a lot of products and a lot of coders.  I'm sure that some coders and the code they write are top notch, and (clearly) some are not.  But it's mostly closed source so who knows?  I use MS products only minimally and find it hard to care very much these days...a function of getting older no doubt.


Using my blood pressure as a metric, the second one was much better.


Fair enough.

Bitcoin is antisemitic

Neuropeans might appreciate the fact that gold is still very close to its all-time top (and now can only go up and upper while their funny money goes down the drain):

Cheesy I'm a pretty good troll myself. Gonna be hard to troll me. Been there done that all up and down this forum. Seen my ignore ticker to the left? <========================  Grin Grin Grin

getting ignored is not a sign of good trolling.


Says the person who gets trolled and then hits the ignore button because they have nothing else to say.  Cheesy

Nice try.

Obviously I also hit the un-ignore button... don't know wether I should regret it already Wink

i've heard the code is extraordinarily complex from some of the devs.  etotheipi's diagrammatic deconstruct was incredibly intricate not to mention indecipherable. 

offhand, who do you think wrote it?  an individual or organization?  doesn't seem like an individual could have all those talents in math, economics, and coding combined to write such a masterpiece.

I suspect that the scripting engine is one of the more complex bits by it's nature, but such an idea is nothing new in computer science.  From what I understand the whole system is neither terribly complex by many measures nor especially well written originally, and the author(s) leveraged much of the more challenging cryptographic implementations from the open source community (as they should.)  Furthermore, much of the basic ideas of Bitcoin originated a decade and a half or more out of (or describe within) the cypherpunks community which someone pointed out on some thread here some months ago.

Of course I don't know who wrote it.  My guesstimate is that it was one person who was multi-talented and quite bright, but I see nothing so special that it would take a team of people or anything like that.  I don't mean to belittle his (or her or their) work in my above statements since at the end of the day he/she/they actually _did_ it and got it out there and here we are today.

oh btw, Gold STILL down, Bitcoin exploding!  Cheesy

That would be a more accurate description compared to "Gold collapsing, bitcoin up". IMO the best description would be "Gold correcting, bitcoin exploding". But yeah i know, you disagree (and anyway it's too early to really know)
At least we both agree and enjoy seeing bitcoin slowly approaching fair value Smiley

btw what would be your bet on US election ? and what would it do to markets ?
