Decent site, but one rec: get rid of the dialog requesting geo info access from the visitor. There's really no reason for it on an information site, probably something you have to disable in your theme. Your bounce rate should improve after getting rid of it.

Forsooth, despite its present relevance, the university lecture will have been forsaken within but one generation.  Roll Eyes

Universities have their own coming storm to deal with ... the rising tuition costs aren't sustainable.

It's funny, you can think of Google (in place of currency) and information (in place of trading goods) for islands that want to stay informed of other islands. I also see this as a problem with modern information: Google acts as an intermediary but starts diverting more and more searches to its own properties, to make themselves $$, or else they can include you in their results if you pay them $$ (Adwords). In that way Google becomes a reification of the natural curiousity we have to search one another for information. In a generation we might all be almost completely dependent on Google instead of the historical oral tradition of passing down vital cultural information.

104  Economy / Economics / Re: In what situations is a barter economy better than a monetary economy? on: August 04, 2015, 06:35:45 PM
Barter economy is pretty good for food. For example, trading fruit for spice herbs (or cannabis) / vegetables for dried beef. There's less of a reliance on "double coincidence of wants" that stifles most barter economies since people in general enjoy a wide variety of food.

And China? China is in another world dude. No one would want to go there. So basically China is worthless to most people.

I went there. The smog in Beijing is like nothing else I've experienced. You could actually feel your life span shortening by being there.
106  Economy / Micro Earnings / Re: how much can you make weekly? on: August 04, 2015, 05:40:07 PM
So signature campaigns are how most people accrue bitcoin here? At what rate? Some people are saying .5 every month, some say .01 per week. Although I may try a sig campaign, I will go about earning BTC the more conventional way by posting in the services section soon.
107  Economy / Economics / Re: DO NOT pay off your student loans!! Sub-prime student loan bail-out is here! on: August 04, 2015, 04:59:42 PM
Would prefer a system where students are put on vocational / professional tracks according to their educational / aptitude testing (like in the Netherlands). These predatory for-profit schools that are still rampant in the U.S as many students haven't had much guidance about career paths. Most of these students are better served either by low-cost community colleges or entering the workforce directly.

It looks like the new economy is favoring freelancers more, so hopefully the allure of college wanes and young adults have more real choices at the end of their teenage years to prepare for their futures.
108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could Bitcoin Crash Gold? on: August 04, 2015, 04:40:35 PM
Gold is a physical lump. Bitcoin is not. That's all that a huge amount of people will care about for a long time to come.

And that's a huuuge difference between Gold and BTC that should keep it popular as a store of value well into the future.

• There's also no psychological significance to carrying around BTC in whatever tangible form (paper wallet) that says to the average person "this is valuable and will save my ass in desperate times."

• Let's say a natural disaster hits a part of the country. Gold is recoverable even amid the rubble, BTC on hard drives / paper wallets much less so, which would only further reinforce psychologically the value of gold in times of disaster.

• Also, in times of mass hysteria / panic in the streets, can you really be certain that the BTC network will be up? I will say that Jim Ryckards new book did mention that you shouldn't be holding "paper gold" as that too will likely be worthless when-the-sh*t-hits-the-fan.

110  Economy / Services / Re: looking to buy a product from ebay uk...anybody offer a btc service? on: June 14, 2015, 02:22:21 PM
I personally would not use a site that was posted by a brand new user like this.

I would personally suggest using purse.io, you can get a pretty decent discount.

Just wrote a quick review comparing these two services: http://tabletsandtech.com/206/making-online-purchases-with-bitcoin/

I would actually have a higher trust in all4btc since purse.io has no way to find out if the provider on the other end of the transaction is using illegally obtained Amazon gift codes. The best option from my perspective is to use all4btc with a merchant who has a generous affiliate program to order through (which unfortunately isn't amazon).
111  Economy / Services / Re: 20% Off Website Traffic Sale!!! on: March 25, 2015, 05:35:42 PM
Is this traffic from your own domains, or are you a reseller? An honest reply (beyond the boilerplate "our traffic network consists of real targeted visitors ...") would help potential buyers.

It's actually not too difficult and you have multiple options:

113  Economy / Digital goods / Re: $100 DigitalOcean coupon code for just $25! on: January 15, 2015, 06:50:06 PM
I'll offer $15

 **SOLD**
115  Economy / Computer hardware / [WTS] - 4 GPU Mining Rig on: December 04, 2014, 08:26:51 PM
• 4 Club3D Radeon 270 GPUs
• ASRock H81 Pro BTC Motherboard / Celeron cpu / 4 gb ram
• SSD drive
• Corsair PSU

Has Windows 7 & cgwatcher installed, but I haven't been mining with it so all the software would need to be updated.

I'm willing to take what I consider part-out value for the machine - $480 or equivalent in BTC.

Shipping is to continental US only for $40.


116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: TOPCOIN (v2) - Scrypt POW POS coin with Casino and Exchanges on: November 24, 2014, 11:54:32 PM
Just a heads up: TopCoin.com rather confusingly decided to launch a cryptocurrency with the same name. It's tied to domain registrations & backed by UniRegistry.
117  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Expected price for bitcoin.world on: November 11, 2014, 12:33:35 AM
Conservatively, at least a few thousand $. Would be great as a portal site for crypto news.
118  Economy / Computer hardware / [WTS]: 4x Radeon R9 270 Cards - $98 each on: August 22, 2014, 07:19:49 PM
I have 4 Club3D R9 270 cards.

Each were doing ~ 2.4 MH/s using sgminer5 (X11). I don't run them all day - we have tiered energy costs here in California so they were dormant from 12pm-6pm and also when it was above 88°. The last few weeks have been tough profitability-wise so instead of letting them collect dust, I'd rather sell to someone who can still put them to use.

Price will be $98 each in BTC.

Shipping is a flat $10 for US, $15 for Canada & probably around $20 to rest of the world. I'm only willing to do escrow for US & Canada destinations and I prefer if someone buys all 4 at once.

119  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Find Deleted High Pagerank Domain on: August 20, 2014, 06:40:00 AM
Dont godaddy have an auction section with a filter for this sort of thing ?
Not at Godaddy, they only list traffic to the parked page.
Try http://www.expireddomains.net/ for more in depth data. I used to list all the high PR / high MOZ-rank GoDaddy closeout domains on one of my sites (http://buywebsites.biz/) but GD ended their direct affiliate program so I had to pull the plug on that.

I know the following person sells discounted Disney tickets for BTC, might want to contact her:
