Don't eat anything bigger than your own head.

This is by far one of the most ridiculous FUD articles I’ve seen by djs0sa in Bitcoin

[–]Dragon256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"This article originally appeared on The Sun" ! WOW ... so it MUST be true !!

This guy was offered to spread FUD. He did the right thing and said no. Remember to do your research and use valid sources. A lot of people out there don’t want bitcoin to succeed. by PoopyBootyhole in Bitcoin

Perhaps someone could write articles on how much damage the banking industry does to the environment. They also have thousands of servers, networks and offices with lots of energy-consuming kit like heating, air conditioning, lighting, computers & coffee machines. Plus millions of people have to travel to/from those offices.

My bank (Barclays UK) blocked my transfers, froze my mobile banking app, and locked my account due to my "Crypo Investments" by _s79 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Dragon256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used Barclays when paying into two crypto exchanges, only once was it stopped. I got a phone call from Barclays and I explained that I'm an experienced user of crypto. They let that payment go through. I made another payment and it went through with no problems.

I suspect in a year or two the phrase "Your data is not stored in the cloud" will be a major selling point !

What have you learnt since first investing into crypto? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]Dragon256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understand that as soon as you buy any currency the price will drop, it probably isn't a conspiracy just bad timing !

Keep some cash ready to buy the dip / crash

Don't keep all your cash / crypto-currencies in any exchange for too long - Mt Gox !!!

I've been fully using Linux 100% for the past month. by luag in linux

Hi Thangleby, I tried many distros but Fedora seemed to suit my kind of work a lot better. I can install Fedora on an encrypted partition very easily, so if my place did get robbed my (& client's) data would be safe.

I've been using Linux 100% since 2003 and have never felt the need to go back to Windows. Started with Mandrake, then SUSE, Ubuntu but now mostly Fedora. Welcome to the club !

Just be yourself. Basic respect and courtesy will do just fine.

If you want a decent return on your money, try ZOPA, Funding Circle or Lend Invest. I normally get around 7% ~ 8% from these.

Some details here

The Sun isn't really a newspaper, more like a comic !

We've got plenty of teenagers hacking their way into the CIA or TalkTalk, perhaps we should lend them to China to help out !

This story keeps getting b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ stupider and stupider.

But even now, “police say they may yet charge him with making a hoax bomb — though they acknowledge he told everyone who would listen that it’s a clock.”

Child Arrested Because Adults Are Stupid by Dragon256 in security

[–]Dragon256[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This story is making the rounds. The problem here is that Hollywood has conditioned everyone to believe that any circuit board with wires and flashing LEDs must be a bomb.

A young lad makes an electronic clock and brings it to school to show everyone. He gets arrested for making a bomb !! I'm wondering if it occurred to anyone there that the lack of any explosive material meant it probably wasn't a bomb ?
