Kenneth Slaughter - I genuinely enjoyed meeting Ken.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/activemining-the-official-active-mining-discussion-thread-252531You're back
What's your point?
I'm welcoming you back to the forum. Was a bit worried for you after you vouched for Ken and disappeared for over a year.
How'd that whole Active Mining adventure work out 4 u?
Still keepin' in touch with Ken?
I never went away. How about you check my profile before you open your mouth.
Also you should actually try reading my report! I talked with Ken for a few hours and he seemed like a nice guy. I reported back what he told me and what I saw. People wanted to know if he was a real person and see some pictures.
Once BitFunder went down, I never looked back. I have no idea what happened with all of that. I lost quite a few coins and I'll never get them back.
If you have anything legitimate to say, I'll be here waiting.
Lol, just making polite conversation, you sure didn't post in AM threads since that warm endorsement. Sorry I missed the 8 posts you made this year, I'll be more diligent in the future.
BTW, if you feel like sharing, whose alt are you? Just between us?
Only no fibbing
bitcoin is backed by TOR black markets, as long as people buy drugs on the internet bitcoin will have value.

This response proves how ignorant some of you are, you actually think that the black markets are a negligible part of the economy. Literally billions of dollars go through those markets, and the amount of Internet based drug trade has only increased since the first Silk Road bust. I know someone of the dumber people think somehow the government has ways of monitoring and stopping these markets, but you're wrong. There have been more than 20 successful markets that started operation since the Silk Road was shut down, 3 have shut down, and none were because of being busted. The new Silk Road site is so successful they were able to pay back all the money that was seized during the original bust to the vendors and customers who's money was taken. They paid this back with profit from collecting transaction fees of less than a percent, so clearly they have hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions going on to be making that kind of money.
We've already established that bitcoin is pseudo-anonymous currency. Only a "dumb" person would use bitcoin to buy drugs or anything illegal online, since it can be traced back to them rather easily unless they're using VPNs or proxies, and even then, it's still possible. Worldwide, there are billions being funneled through black markets, but by and large it's done the same way it always has been. Call your guy on the phone, bring cash and make the exchange in person. Cash is much safer than a pseudo-anonymous, traceable digital currency.
the growth of TOR black markets proves you wrong.
TOR is only as secure as the exit nodes on the network. I assure you, the FBI and other three letter agencies are watching a lot of that traffic and arrest warrants are being written up. Not to mention, the obvious weak link in this entire online black market is not the payment protocol, but the physical delivery. You're giving authorities the address of your home, or at least the pick up location so they can set up a sting.
But this is what you're counting on for bitcoin to become a paradigm changer worldwide? OK, good luck with that.
these markets have been operating successfully for years, if the government could do anything about them they would have done it already.
yes i am counting on it, illegal drugs are a hundreds billions of dollars industry, if the big drug cartels realize they can cut the middle guys and sell directly on TOR the demand for bitcoin will be huge.

If they start jailing small time consumers on any sort of scale we will see marijuana legalized within months. Their interest is in finding the dealers, which people will stand for, preserving their drug war funding.

Bitcoin can survive and thrive as long as people have faith in it. the massive price high of this year is only more proof of what faith can do!
As long as people attribute value to it - it will remain valuable.
It may not reach those highs again, or it may go higher if a major fiat based economy finally admits it can't go on with it's perpetual debt.
Thanks for your warning, but if you believe it cash out and walk away.... I have a feeling you will be keeping hold of some coin "just in case"

Here are some kinds who found a use for fiat money. Stacks of it make great building blocks. And they are guaranteed by the German government!

I don't usually respond to trolls but since you're a senior member, I'll just say, ok, thanks but no thanks, good riddance,and we won't miss you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some bitcoin buying to do while it's at sub $400
At least fiat is backed by state sponsored terrorism
Bitcoin is not
You have no guarantee with cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin is not
You have no guarantee with cryptocurrencies
You also have no guarantees with fiat. Yes some guy claims it's guaranteed but that's not worth anything.
The biggest guarantee is the petro-dollar
Your guarantee is toilet paper?

Good bye Xiaoxiao, i really hope this is your last warning.
Leeeel this made me laugh a lot
I tend to buy whenever he posts. Some sort of reverse psychology process I suspect.
good strategy. you must be totally bankrupt by now.
You must be real rich now, if you had put your money where your mouth is and shorted bitcoins.
