off subject... how come when I reply to a PM it doesn't appear in my outbox? :T

You must tick the box that states that you want to save you outgoing messages. I had to learn that the very first couple times too.

My Indian friend told me the other day that home prices have skyrocketed in India during the past handful of years.

If I move back to Chicago later this year, you might have a very very regular member to meet up with. I thought you lived in in Tennessee or something.

I'm in Sandwich, Illinois, three blocks due east of the fairgrounds on Center St. But if you're moving back to Chicago, I'm moving to Tennessee.  Grin

Remember, we're both from Indiana, me from Jasper County.

The drummer in my band is from Knoxville, maybe I got confused. I wonder how many others in Chicago there are using Bitcoin. I am seriously considering attending a performing arts college there but have so much disdain for the midwest, there'd have to be something much much more for me there.

Honestly, Illinois is not my ideal place to live, though it has afforded me a nice living. I enjoy the laid back lifestyle. Fishing in Northern Wisconsin or Eastern South Dakota, small town living down south like Tennessee, or Taos, NM.

You can look at Chicago as another jumping off point, for the diversity in culture is sure to open up some doors with you skill sets, assuming you have skill sets.

Back to the Meetup. Another place could be Red Door on Damen Ave., where you'll find more of my barn wood.

If anybody organizes one, please PM me, for I don't check this section often enough.

If you desire a unique venue, I know a handful of restaurant owners that operate fine establishments. For example, Cyrano's Farm & Kitchen where you can pet Didier's chicken and admire my barn wood.





10825  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will bitcoin make inroads into the super market? on: February 16, 2013, 05:28:15 AM
This is a common topic, but I always see it phrased in reference to the customer. As a business owner who sell merchandise I can tell you that it is not an issue about why customers would like to use it. The issue is if merchants would be willing to accept it. The answer is NO. I wont and they wont, because there is no price stability.   

If not already, can't BitPay resolve the price stability aspect? Immediately after a purchase, the bitcoins are in BitPays possession, crediting the merchant with the exact exchange rate. At the end of the daily billing cycle, the exchanged currency is deposited into the merchant's bank account, sans the 0.99% fee.

How hard can it be to set up such a system if not already implemented by BitPay?

10829  Economy / Services / Re: Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits on: February 16, 2013, 04:58:52 AM
Due to the recent rise in the exchange rate, Bitcoin 100 can safely fund over 8 NPO/NGO at $1,000 USD each.

With all the recent positive press lately, it should be an easier sell to give away $8,000+ USD at $1,000 USD a pop.

Suggestions?

What are the step's someone needs to take to create a profittable website Huh


Learn how to keep grammatical errors below 23% of copy is also a good start if one wants to be taken seriously. If you can't find the three errors in the OP, I suggest not giving a notice at your day job, let alone forking out money to purchase a domain name.
10831  Economy / Gambling / Re: This is the magnificent bitcoin gem on: February 16, 2013, 04:40:37 AM
technically, it's a chain game, and people like it.

Wait till you see how the concept was turned into a commerce site.

The pair, buried approximately 5,770 years ago in the early ASIC period, are believed to be a man and a woman who died young, because their teeth were found intact. Archaeologists have hailed the find, saying that double burials from the early Bitcoin period are rare and none have been found in such a touching pose. Although Bitcoin miners mined in pools, they were hermitous by nature.

Sadly, if the couple (dubbed Alice and Bob) would have lived to the ripe old age of a 100, they still would've been waiting for delivery. Perhaps it was best they died young, thus putting them out of their misery.

The last bitcoin was mined on March 4, 2050, by user Atlas V, using only a CPU due the difficultly level being so low. When asked what he was going to spend it on, he replied with, "A slice of bread."

Perhaps I missed it, but how did you become the de facto expert on Ripple?

I'm enjoying your posts, bud.

Hi Vladimir.

I'm sure that your lawyer would advise you to shut the fuck up and make no public comments.  You should probably listen to them.  Everything you post is legally discoverable.

Vladimir immediately came to mind when I read the Pastebin, but I wan't too sure.

tl;dr: Claim: The BitcoinMagazine and all its assets were sold illegally and fraudulently.

As I said before. Bitcoin is backed by drama.


Upon reading the Pastebin, I have to say you make an interesting argument. Sadly, and honestly, I, personally, am closing my eyes to this, at least for now, because I like, and trust, BitPay.

That said, I will not be adding fuel to this fire, but will be monitoring it just the same.

Don't let me down, guys!
