Sudden dump, i wonder if it will break the 710-705 level

A 1000XBT wall near 4000CNY is just pulled. Pump and dump

I really hate the XBT nomenclature.. Where did it come from?

It comes from some ISO standard that says that non-national currencies will have three character symbols that start with X.

I say let's buck the idea that national currencies should have preeminence.  Make the very use of the symbol BTC part of the revolution.

You mean memes with homophobic slurs so we look like a bunch of narrow minded biggots? Or am I missing something. You should be ashamed.

Am I the only one here who thinks being gay is wrong, or aka not what god intended. I man common, god really created Man to bang another Man...

How would that justify disrespectful name-calling, though?

Oh wow. Really? Do I really have to read this load of shit in Bitcointalk?

Just yesterday I said I did not want to Ignore anyone. I guess you're my first.  

If you don't have 10-100+ people on your ignore list on Bitcointalk, you're not doing it right.

Sorry would love to get back on that subject but the moderators here censored my last 4 posts

Make your own forum, then.  No reason to steal/use someone else's.

I had a straight friend in high school who was beat up for being "gay."  He suffered permanent brain damage.

Even if you accept the idea that God didn't create man to be gay, how would two wrongs make a right?  Why be disrespectful and abusive to the person that your god created?

This is about payments not bitcoin but there is a synergy of efforts. Bitcoin may be an beneficiary but cryptocurrencies need to "grow up" and have standards. W3C Web Payments is committed to help provide the standards so potential future payment technologies can mature.

The beneficiaries we are the targeting are the unbanked, unbankable, and those not having access to financial infrastructure. We cant achieve this goal without integrating into the core of the browser technologies layered with security to create frictionless & borderless payments. We will help connect up another billion+ people to the global economy.
No offense, but I've been watching the W3C since the days of HTML 3 and your track record of creating successful web standards has been... mixed.

It's not obviously apparent that a W3C Web Payments standard would be useful or relevant.

Plus, I don't much like being told to "grow up."  It's possible to tell me respectfully what you think is in it for me without calling me names should I choose to not do things your way!
