36-year-old Larry Dean Harmon from Akron, Ohio, was charged with laundering more than $310 million worth of Bitcoin cryptocurrency while operating the dark web Helix Bitcoin mixer between 2014 and 2017. Good to see more proof of all the honest folk working with bitcoin

31 of the 18,213,787.5 bitcoins in existence. The US$ has still more attractive for not-so-honest people.

Hey, if you're OK with making money from the deaths of children, go for it -- just make sure that I'm excluded from any gleeful discussions of your profits.

Aw, I am. I don't mind if friends buy stuff from China and refuse to whine about it.
..but you are very vocal about claiming that BC-owners are criminals. I'm a criminal without any bitcoins; the word was that only criminals owned US$ and gold before BC. Most of the criminal transactions are in US$, since almost everyone accepts them. People only move to other stuff because the US$ isn't a store of value (which it once was).
The physical Euro was made by a company that creates cluster-bombs. It is kinda hypocritical to invoke the children in the current situation. Sex tourism bloomed before the BC, and is traded in dollars.
Still, you insist, it is due to bitcoins. As if the stuff never happened before the virtual currency.
You don't care about children. You care about your aversion to bitcoins, and abuse the children to add weight to your words, without any proof.
And no, I don't like BC; if anything, I'd advise to buy real money - gold.

This one guy who has been convicted trafficked more than 2% of all bitcoins (not 31 of them), and he is just one of dozens.
Bitcoin was just a little novelty, before it started being used for money laundering, which drove its selling price up. Hardly anyone bought bitcoin before that, and everyone who invested in it was well aware of why its price had gone up, so are morally and ethically complicit.Eddy Vluggen wrote: the word was that only criminals owned US$ and gold before BC
Whose word is that? AFAIK, the gold standard was around for a long time, before the dollar became the standard for international trade, so where you get this bit of history from, I have no idea -- maybe DD was on wikipedia, again.Eddy Vluggen wrote: The physical Euro was made by a company that creates cluster-bombs.
Legally and lawfully. The vast majority of ethical problems with weapons occur during their usage, not their manufacture.Eddy Vluggen wrote: Sex tourism bloomed before the BC, and is traded in dollars
So did lots of things, but maybe you've heard the expression that two wrongs don't make a right?
In fact, you can stack up as many wrongs as you like, but the stacking won't make any of them right.Eddy Vluggen wrote: you insist, it is due to bitcoins
I haven't insisted anything of the kind.
I have, a few times, stated the unarguable fact that the reason bitcoin became so expensive is because it is used by drug traffickers/cartels/whateverTF-they're-called to launder their profits from human misery.
That is, without any doubt whatsoever, an unarguable fact. If you would rather I lied than spoke truth, let me know. I won't, but I'll at least listen to your preference.
And don't troll me by demanding that I use my time to provide you with proof. There's an Internet at your fingertips that's got all the proof you could possibly need.
Looking into the one guy who was handling 2% of all bitcoin ever "minted" would be a pretty good start, for that. If you want to act like someone has done something wrong, look in his direction, not mine.

Better sell, guys.

The team behind the Microsoft Bing search engine is always looking to improve on the search experience for end-users. Like, "Would you like me to do this search on Google so that it finds something?"

Well, my current question would have to be "Does microsoft have a ****ing clue, any more?"
It'll probably follow up by asking me if I'd rather play a non-violent game, like happy families.

On this day 25 years ago, Borland Software trotted out version 1.0 of the Delphi application development product, making the announcement at the Software Development '95 event in San Francisco. I prophesize it will go places
Mind you, I haven't heard much from VB lately, maybe it did kill it?

Still in demand here, so no.
After the name changed to Inprise, Delphi was killed; it was unfriendly for hobbyists, expensive, and not worth the money. There's not much Delphi around these days, and it's not because the language is bad - it is because their marketing is.

The idiotic decision not to have a free version is the main reason for its demise.
You'd think that people who owned a visual language based on Pascal (which itself became incredibly popular because it was free, and used in schools) would have got the hint about excluding hobbyists and students.

hence, "expensive"; I'd have paid 20 euro's, just not the price they were asking for a non-full version.

I'd have placed the number, if it was in the right thread; but here, it is just an ad hominem on a mistake.

Oh, I remember spending many happy hours staring at the car-dashboard installer for Delphi, as I moved from machine to machine.
It was bloody boring, but I was happy to not have to use VB.
