After a typically futile court room experience that resulted in me deciding to give up driving rather than go begging for another permission slip, I set about reaching out to as many others that might have a latent interest in monkey wrenching the machine. With no prior media experience, I got involved with a community radio station and have been hosting my own, albiet *very*, early morning show for about nine months. I had to compromise re: my original idea for the show but, as it is, I still get to put out a certain amount of voluntaryist content each week and, if nothing else, I've at least gotten to a point where the idea can be developed further. Forgive me, as I've already made this request elsewhere on this forum, but if anyone can identify the recent freedomainradio call-in show in which the following material came up, I'd be much obliged -Stefan Molyneux:How statists soundSaying rape is always wrong is just idealistic. You're going to grow out of this anti-rape thing. Rape is very often necessary. Society cannot be organised in the absence of rape. If you try to eliminate people's beleif in the virtue of rape, you'll get more rape, so we have the minimal rape by organizing a central rape agency and throwing people in prison who don't rape. Having trained rapists that go around the world raping prople and having 720 rape bases all over the world -- that is the best way to not rape. This came up on my facebook wall and I'd really like to grab it as a sound bite to use at various intervals each week on my show. Of course, with proper attribution and context... Thank you for reading this far!

On the topic of minarchists... Larken Rose is after some of them for a project... Larken Rose22 hours agoWhile multitasking and having several discussions at once, I just had a really odd idea. I've done it before, but never in public. I want to find minarchists to debate, but with me playing the part of devout statist. I can't explain WHY this is so entertaining, without spoiling it, but from the PRO-authoritarian position, it's pretty easy to make minarchists contradict themselves and fall on their faces. So where is a minarchist or two who wants to go against me in the role of Uber-Statist? https://www.facebook.com/larken.rose.7/posts/1417637515182719

Mining is the process of taking a number of queued transactions and searching through a large number space to find a number that, when hashed with the chosen transactions, produces a result beginning with at least x zero bits. The greater the value of x, the fewer numbers there are likely to be in the number space that will produce the desired result and the longer it will likely take to find a suitable one of them. As I understand it, these ASIC devices work in tandem with customised bitcoin mining programs. My best guess is that the program running on the computer schedules the available ASICs to each search a certain portion of the number space for a given set of input data. So, making a distinction about which part of the team (so to speak) is the miner doesn't really make sense. But that's just my opinion.

No doubt this is a cynical point of view, but why do these ACIC manufactures sell their product when, assuming it works, these things should be able to pay for themselves many times over? Isn't that like selling the goose that lays the golden egg?

This came up on facebook recently as an image made from this quote: How statists soundSaying rape is always wrong is just idealistic. You're going to grow out of this anti-rape thing. Rape is very often necessary. Society cannot be organised in the absence of rape. If you try to eliminate people's beleif in the virtue of rape, you'll get more rape, so we have the minimal rape by organizing a central rape agency and throwing people in prison who don't rape. Having trained rapists that go around the world raping prople and having 720 rape bases all over the world -- that is the best way to not rape. I'd really like to use this as a sound bite being spoken by Stefan but I don't know what call-in show it came up in. Can anyone with a good memory direct me to the right podcast? btw I'm involved with a community radio station in Brisbane which is why I want to build up a collection of such sound bites for my own show. http://www.4zzzfm.org.au/program/the-little-v
