Re: Mind's Eye The Psychology of Romantic Love

Hello and welcome to the group, Sapphira. Actually you are lucky to have passed the moderation check, because normally we don't allow for spamming or crossposting. But then maybe it was not luck that got you through to us but the blue-eyed bias that the group's moderators have a problem with removing. Otherwise we don't operate on western culture being the unmarked white superiour culture. We value a personal exchange of ideas, thoughts, views and are rather bored with people trying to reinforce their biases and beliefs upon us. Me for instance, I don't find my interest returned in constructs that predefine what my benefit will be, if you understand what I mean. Anyways, I wish you that your personal path will continue to be paved with those golden incidents called luck!

What is romantic love? The term is portrayed in the media and both historical and modern literature. Romantic love is embedded in western culture and promoted through events such as love marriages and Valentines' Day. However, what do people understand about romantic love?

We are looking for participants to take part in a short (10 minute) online study in which you will be asked to list features associated with romantic love. Benefits of taking part include allowing you to further understand how psychology research is conducted and comes about. Your participation will help to expand this area of research and help to further understanding of romantic love. No identifying information will be collected so there will be no way for us or anyone else to identify you.

A reading of The Tempest is the best study of the question of how romantic love effects our lives.

Mind's Eye Re: Bitcoin

Dear friends.

All digital technologies introduced so far have been a success. Watches, audio players, video players, phones, modems, computers, copiers, and typewriters are the ones that come to my mind. And now we have a digital currency, so if the trend continues, it will survive and be a success as well. Like all other digital products, it offers many advantages. One of the greatest advantages to Bitcoin in my opinion is the promise of getting money out of the control of greedy banksters. Like with all the other digital products, at their beginning, many people were very skeptical of them at first.  Many people who are skeptical of Bitcoin are afraid that it will not be secure because of criminal hackers. Trezor promises to put this fear to rest. My questions to you all are:
What do you think about that?    

Below is a new addition to my series on Bitcoin. All comments would be greatly appreciated.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbtQWAIBJPk&feature=c4-overview&list=UU9rOAPUfZe3KEja0vvFpe_A

Trezor for Bitcoin

With the NSA spying on everyone, hackers hacking websites and computers, thieves  stealing anything to be stolen, greedy banksters protecting their turf, corrupt politicians protecting the banksters, and the mass media brainwashing people to be too afraid not to play along, it is no wonder that most people either have not heard of Bitcoin, or are very skeptical about it. Bitcoin wallets are needed to use bitcoins and their security is the largest concern that is holding back mainstream adoption of Bitcoin use as a currency. Many secure methods, such as paper wallets or cold storage computers disconnected from the internet, have the potential to provide high levels of security but with significant impairments to ease of use. You still need to load private keys from paper using a trusted computer to send your coins to somebody else.

"Trezor" runs open sourced software and is the first mass-produced BTC hardware wallet that promises to give Bitcoin the much needed boost by offering BTC transactions security with ease of use. It is a single purpose computer which signs BTC transactions made through a desktop or web-wallet. It makes transactions completely safe via the USB interface even on a compromised or vulnerable computer. It does not allow the computer access to private information, even when the computes are infected with spyware. It uses a series of 12 random words to generate private keys to use. The private keys never leave the device and malware cannot read the private keys from it, thanks to the wire protocol used which transfers unsigned transactions to the device and signed ones out of the device.

It is very easy to use. In order to transfer BTCs from the wallet, users connect to any PC running a BTC  client via a USB interface. Trezor provides a one-time password (OTP) and to activate the transaction, users enter their PIN in a secure way that can't be keylogged and misused. "Trezor" signs transaction internally and send the digital signature back to the computer, without leaking your private keys. Thanks to this, you can use it even on a vulnerable or hacked computer. There's no point where malware on a computer could access the private keys or spend away your coins without your permission. No matter how unprotected your computer or internet connection might be, your bitcoins always stay safe. User can backup the private keys by memorizing and/or writing the 12 word code in a secure location in case the wallet is lost, damaged or stolen.

Re: Mind's Eye Re: Bitcoin

I suppose you didn`t have better luck with selling your creations and not being ignored with any other currencies or payment methods. After all, they are also con schemes. I hope you kept the 50 Euros worth of BTC. If you did, they would be worth quite a lot.

The text for those that prefer text only is below.

Bitcoin wallets

In order to send and receive Bitcoin (BTC), a BTC wallet must be used. Each wallet acts like a letterbox, having a public address so that anyone can send and insert Bitcoins into it and a private key to access, remove or send any of the Bitcoins it holds. BTCn addresses and private keys are strings of numbers and letters like "175tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W" or QR matrix bar codes of the strings. A BTC wallet is a free open source program called a "BTC client" that generates public addresses and private keys. They come in a variety of forms, from mobile wallet apps for mobile devices, software wallets like "Multibit" for computers and web wallets available at sites like www.blockchain.info or www.coinbase.com.  Just like email, all wallets can interoperate with each other.

Mobile wallets allow you to bring Bitcoin with you in your pocket. You can exchange coins easily and pay in physical stores by scanning a QR code or using Near Field Communication Technology (NFC) for "tap to pay" ease. Software wallets are installed on your computer. They give you complete control over your wallet. You are responsible for protecting your money and doing backups. Web wallets allow you to use Bitcoin anywhere with less effort to protect your wallet. However, you must choose your web wallet with care as they host your Bitcoins. The public addresses and private keys of wallets can be stored on a memory stick or printed out on paper so that the wallet can be recovered if the phones or computers fail or get lost, or the web sites are shut down.

Once you have a BTC wallet, there are 2 ways to fill it with Bitcoins; mining and buying. Mining involves running a BTC Mining program on your computer that records all BTC transactions in the BTC peer to peer (P2P) network. Your computer becomes a bookkeeper that keeps a ledger of all transactions that are relayed to you and that you relay to every other BTC miner. At the same time each miner works on solving a very difficult puzzle that can only be solved heuristically by trying various solutions at rarndom. Like a lottery, someone has to eventually hit on the solution by chance. If you are the first to solve this puzzle, then the ledger of the transactions you recorded must be accepted by every other miner and you get rewarded with new Bitcoins generated. This can be compared to mining for gold and being lucky to find some. An easier and much quicker way to acquire Bitcoins is buying some. You must register at a commercial Bitcoin exchange, like www.bitcoin.de, www.bitstamp.net, or www.mtGox.com where you can send a money transfer from your bank to buy or sell Bitcoins.

Bitcoins are traded on the free markets. 3 years ago, 1 BTC was worth $0.05 USD. At present, Nov 26 2013, 1 BTC is worth $890.00.   To keep your Bitcoins safe, spread them out over different wallets by generating a new wallet for each transaction. If you have your wallet stored on your computer or mobile phone, make sure to keep the software up-to-date. Follow general internet safety protocols like not downloading anything you don't trust, using a virus checker, and choosing passwords that are at least 13 characters long with a mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols. Always create a paper wallet - a paper print out of your wallet`s address and private key. If you lose your private key, you will not be able to access your Bitcoins and will lose them. If you lose your public key, you will not be able to receive any Bitcoins. Treat the print out of your wallet just like cash - if your BTC wallet contains a great deal of Bitcoins, then keep your print out in a fireproof safe or a bank security box.

I was shocked to see that Bitcoin is at present trading for 1 BTC = $890.00. 3 years ago it traded for 1 BTC = $0.05.
What do you make of that? Has anything in the past gone up in value so fast? Does it point to the eventual demise of the dollar? Is it because people are hording it? Is it because of the world situation with some countries trying to get off the dollar and the petro dollar as the world currency?   Is it because the BTC has such promise to break away from the control of the banksters? Does anyone in this group use Bitcoin?  Other than buying drugs and giving donations, I do not see much use for it in Switzerland. Nor is it well known here. I hear that in other countries, it is used for buying more things. 

I made an addition to my previous video "Bitcoin - Simplified" called "Bitcoin wallets". I invite you to watch it and comment on it.

The link to my video is below:

Bitcoin wallets

In order to send and receive Bitcoin (BTC), a BTC wallet must be used. Each wallet acts like a letterbox, having a public address so that anyone can send and insert Bitcoins into it and a private key to access, remove or send any of the Bitcoins it holds. BTCn addresses and private keys are strings of numbers and letters like "175tWpb8K1S7NmH4Zx6rewF9WQrcZv245W" or QR matrix bar codes of the strings. A BTC wallet is a free open source program called a "BTC client" that generates public addresses and private keys. They come in a variety of forms, from mobile wallet apps for mobile devices, software wallets like "Multibit" for computers and web wallets available at sites like www.blockchain.info or www.coinbase.com.  Just like email, all wallets can interoperate with each other.

Mobile wallets allow you to bring Bitcoin with you in your pocket. You can exchange coins easily and pay in physical stores by scanning a QR code or using Near Field Communication Technology (NFC) for "tap to pay" ease. Software wallets are installed on your computer. They give you complete control over your wallet. You are responsible for protecting your money and doing backups. Web wallets allow you to use Bitcoin anywhere with less effort to protect your wallet. However, you must choose your web wallet with care as they host your Bitcoins. The public addresses and private keys of wallets can be stored on a memory stick or printed out on paper so that the wallet can be recovered if the phones or computers fail or get lost, or the web sites are shut down.

Once you have a BTC wallet, there are 2 ways to fill it with Bitcoins; mining and buying. Mining involves running a BTC Mining program on your computer that records all BTC transactions in the BTC peer to peer (P2P) network. Your computer becomes a bookkeeper that keeps a ledger of all transactions that are relayed to you and that you relay to every other BTC miner. At the same time each miner works on solving a very difficult puzzle that can only be solved heuristically by trying various solutions at rarndom. Like a lottery, someone has to eventually hit on the solution by chance. If you are the first to solve this puzzle, then the ledger of the transactions you recorded must be accepted by every other miner and you get rewarded with new Bitcoins generated. This can be compared to mining for gold and being lucky to find some. An easier and much quicker way to acquire Bitcoins is buying some. You must register at a commercial Bitcoin exchange, like www.bitcoin.de, www.bitstamp.net, or www.mtGox.com where you can send a money transfer from your bank to buy or sell Bitcoins.

Bitcoins are traded on the free markets. 3 years ago, 1 BTC was worth $0.05 USD. At present, Nov 26 2013, 1 BTC is worth $890.00.   To keep your Bitcoins safe, spread them out over different wallets by generating a new wallet for each transaction. If you have your wallet stored on your computer or mobile phone, make sure to keep the software up-to-date. Follow general internet safety protocols like not downloading anything you don't trust, using a virus checker, and choosing passwords that are at least 13 characters long with a mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols. Always create a paper wallet - a paper print out of your wallet`s address and private key. If you lose your private key, you will not be able to access your Bitcoins and will lose them. If you lose your public key, you will not be able to receive any Bitcoins. Treat the print out of your wallet just like cash - if your BTC wallet contains a great deal of Bitcoins, then keep your print out in a fireproof safe or a bank security box.

Re: Mind's Eye Re: Disgust

thanks for the article james.. its so funny.. and i quite agree,,,, there is no reason .. but sometimes some people i have to meet daily just annoy me so much.. and i spend hours rationalizing my dislike... hating my irritability at the same time...actually it can happen with over familiarity too... and its hard to escape when you share a room with someone... thats why i spend hours outside like in the lib or elsewhere when theres no class .. cos otherwise over presence of my roommates kills me... and would kill them too if i didnt go anywhere... intersetingly can you read peacefully if someone is sitting quite close to you in the library.. i just freak out if someone sits close to me.. i just cant read ..although the other person might be lost in their work... well its evident a single room is my dream right now......

Bravo for finding the Dr. Fell citation, Ash.  And the article is interesting, all the references to irrational irritability are literary.  Interesting that we not only behave in this way, but explore those behaviors in our fiction throughout the ages.

Hello Don and polsyched (0.o kidding), nice to read you. I've found
types that center on personalities and which ones they approve or
disapprove to be rather fickle and out of touch, much of the time out to
reinforce biases. But then again I seem to have 'sucker' or 'easy mark'
printed on my forehead or something, so of course I would think that.
And no, that isn't meant for any members present! Just referring to
narcissistic usury, most types of violence fit the subject of disgust IMO.

Don I think that the repulsion to certain individuals is defensive, and
it is important to learn what our buttons or triggers are. From my own
inspection I think identifying the predator sooner is a valuable trait
to avoid dangers for oneself and family, almost any other annoyance can
be handled with a stern smile and a 'have a nice day'. It is harder in
large groups, too many variables. That seems a simple non-specific way
of placing the anxiety anyway.

There is a lively and humorous examination on this subject in free
e-book format, a casual read (link below, pg.417). I was laughing a bit
while reading because of people I've known.

My past teachers would undoubtedly cringe at that MLA format. :)
