Title: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: cmg5461 on June 18, 2012, 06:33:21 PM http://freedomcam.net/car_blackbox_dashcam.html
I was browsing and saw this. Right at the very bottom, "We now take BITCOIN!" I was shocked :D Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: mccorvic on June 18, 2012, 06:42:17 PM Very cool. And the device their selling doesn't look half bad.
Their webpage, on the other hand, could use some work. Selling a device that is so technical and having such a poor website doesn't exactly inspire confidence for the consumer. Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: genuise on June 18, 2012, 06:42:51 PM they use bit-pay srvice , well done !!!

I've been meaning to build one of these or buy one for a long time. Got screwed over in an accident because I was 18. I may use raspberry pi and connect two cameras to it with a large sd card and wire it to my +12v. Somehow wire it to my fuse box to get a 'turn on record' feature. Would be a neat project.

I got screwed in an accident because I am not (white / caucasian)! Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading!

I feel ya there. It was heavily snowing out, slush everywhere. Idiot decides to cut me off. People in front of him slam on their brakes. He goes into them, I go into him. If I had that, I would have sued him for fraud. Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: HonorMe on June 20, 2012, 09:10:55 AM Its nice to see Bitcoins being accepted in more and more places

I think if that were me, I would have fucking burned his goddamn house down... but that's just me Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: cmg5461 on June 26, 2012, 11:06:20 AM I should have. The guy was 70-ish. So the cop automagically sided with him vs. the 18 year old. The cop never asked me for my side of the story.
But now that's it's happened, I know what to look out for and how to handle it appropriately next time around. Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: Boussac on June 26, 2012, 08:56:33 PM Payment system of the 21st century (bitcoin). Website design from the 20th century..
Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: wyager on July 13, 2012, 05:16:33 AM Nifty! I have to say, I would choose Bitcoin over Paypal/CC for convenience any day.
I may use raspberry pi and connect two cameras to it with a large sd card and wire it to my +12v. Somehow wire it to my fuse box to get a 'turn on record' feature. Would be a neat project. Good idea, but the Pi doesn't have nearly enough power. I was disappointed at how frustratingly slow the Pi was for any graphics-related operations (including running a simple GUI/X-server). Maybe if you love reading datasheets you can figure out how to leverage the built-in graphics accelerators (there aren't many), but even then it would be a major stretch. Plus, the I/O speed to the SD card is rather limited. Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: nevafuse on July 17, 2012, 08:05:36 PM Cool, but $300? I'll pass. Just get a $35 808 #16 cam instead.

If only those had a remote turn on/record feature, they'd be perfect :P Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading!

The poster should setup shop. I'd pay double to have it automatically turn on/record with power. I've found a few dash cams on Amazon for $60 that probably use the same parts, but are too large & obvious because they have IR lights & LCDs. Just asking to have your car broken into. No one would think twice about a tiny key chain remote on my dash. Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: bb113 on August 03, 2012, 05:59:34 AM Another random bitcoin find:

A rear-ender is ALWAYS the fault of the person who did the rear-ending, no matter your age or ethnicity. I've never heard a cop side with someone who did the rear-ending.But now that's it's happened, I know what to look out for and how to handle it appropriately next time around.

There were multiple rear ends :P 4 cars rear ended. I'm car 4. car 3 hit car 2 into car 1. I hit car 3. Car 3 caused the accident, but I was blamed because I was the most back. Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: DeathAndTaxes on August 03, 2012, 04:40:31 PM A rear-ender is ALWAYS the fault of the person who did the rear-ending, no matter your age or ethnicity. I've never heard a cop side with someone who did the rear-ending. Always even when the person being hit isn't established in the lane? You are in the right lane, someone is in the left lane. They swerve into you lane with about 6" of space between bumpers and immediately slam on the breaks. Despite being hit from behind most cops (at least in VA) would say the front vehicle wasn't established in the lane. Title: Re: Bitcoin is spreading! Post by: Fiyasko on August 04, 2012, 04:18:49 PM Remember everyone!, Anytime you goto buy something online, First ask if they take bitcoins! (expect a no) The more times they get asked they'll surely lookinto accepting it one day!
Just imagine a future filled with GREAT, POWERFUL games. If "intense graphic" games took Bitcoins as the ingame currency, Companies running those games would rake in tens of thousands, Just think of all the people who go "ugggh how can i get some internet money so i can get XYZ digital ingame realmoney item" Like DLC's! Amd could really, really flourish if all thier games took bitcoin as a payment method in and outside the game. Nvidia would basically fallapart from everyone going "Hey nvidia, Why cant i "mine" "bitcoins" (effectivley) for all these videogames" Why would they fallapart? That shader clock takes up Alot of PCBoardroom. |
