+1 on the Samsung Galaxy SII:
1. Awesome screen. (size is perfect for me, bigger than iphone)
2. Great battery life. I use it hard (high-res gaming, video) and it lasts nearly all day.
3. Tough beast. Dropped mine on gravel while riding my bike. Not a mark on it with just a silicon skin + screen protector.
4. Very popular, there will be are tons of accessories for it.
5. Great camera.
6. Fast.
7. Super thin and not heavy.
8. Android rules.

I'm impressed. This thread looks like 90%+ of the lending business (lenders) contributing to the OP misnomer. I can think of a couple that haven't written something, or who don't need to.
btw - I agree with znort - having been talked through GPG signing by INAU in slightly under two hours and going on IRC, I haven't been back since. It was a giant PITA.
I hate it, I dont have the time, I read the the directions.. And im no slouch with computers.. Its a PITA, and my time is valuable. in other words... Fuck that noise.. BOUNTY! 10 bitcoins to a OTC type system for bitcoin lending and trades that is easier than microwave popcorn Thunderbird with Enigmail. You mean using an actual mail client like in the 90's ? How quaint and charming  Lol, Yes as opposed to IRC from the 80's. He did ask for Easy. Most things that are worth doing are not easy. OTC registration is one of them. Its just like many aspects of the business world - if you want to taken seriously, you have to jump through a few hoops first. |

Looking to buy a package of premium file hosting accounts.
- I'm not interested in one or two sites, I need a wide gamut of 6 to 10 hosters.
- Needs to be 6 months or 1 year of access, minimum.
- Will pay a reasonable price, but nowhere near the going rate that these sites are asking. Make me an offer.
- I'm also interested in alternatives. Got a better solution? I'm listening.
- Anyone with low rep must be willing to use escrow.

I'm not here to offend anyone but nearly 90% of bitcoin services seem extremely unprofessional and the look like something a 12 year old made.
That applies to just about any internet website made before 2000 AD. |

Don't blame you for wanting one of these: its the most beautiful banknote i've seen in my life. Note: Pictures don't do it justice. The polymer makes it as slinky as silk. The red $50 note looks even better.   |

What the title says.
Non-reputable, unverified members please don't respond. If you have less posts than me, I will not send first.
I need a $100 or so in VV or other CC (must work in app store.)

I need a new phone within the next four weeks - will pay market rate in BTC. Was looking to do it through amazon maybe.
I'm looking for a Galaxy Nexus, SII, or Note. Unlocked preferably, unless I can get a great deal & unlock myself or through a 3rd party.
Verified & trusted forum members only please. I live in Canada so there are shipping considerations if you are in the US. Also wondering how warranty coverage will work.
The other 'problem' is that the Galaxy SIII will be unleashed soon - I would be very interested in the SIII - if it proves to live up to the quad-core Android ICS hype.
If anyone is interested in dealing with me, or have any comments, fire away.

(Reuters)
The Royal Canadian Mint, for example, is exploring how to issue digital currency in the future. Its chief financial officer Marc Brule said Bitcoin's biggest problem was that it is not backed by anything.
"The system we would bring in would be backed by a fund," he told Reuters. "Bitcoin may work for the small group of people that believe in its value, but that could change very suddenly."
Without that backing or a similar power base, Bitcoin lives with the ever-present risk of failure.
"To be clear, I would say the same about the euro," said payment expert Lelieveldt.
(Reporting By Naomi O'Leary; Editing by Will Waterman) Good article, accurate reporting. I like it.....but Marc Brule either doesn't have a clue, or is doing political spin. "The system we would bring in would be backed by a fund"? And do tell, what is that fund to be denominated in? CAD? USD? Euros? And what is that currency backed by..... Oh right, NOTHING. Man up, Marc. Hold your nose, and back up your digital currency with a bitcoin fund. The Queen doesn't have you on her leash anymore. |

Started mining with my 5770 back in April of 2010. I believe it only took me a day to generate one Bitcoin with the 5770 at the time.
Wait...you mined at a pool? two years ago? with a 5770? At difficulty 4096? Were you on drugs? |

In that happens, then good luck for bitcoin. Once it get more important and used by more ppl then maybe it can survive such collapse. But right now? There are already only few ppl that use it, with a collapse you happily reduce that amount...
The blockchain does not get deleted from millions of hard drives when the internet goes down. Think about this: how is bitcoin different from other commodities such as gold? What if we ran out of gas, electricity, and ultimately the internet. Does gold become worthless? After all, it can no longer be transported or traded efficiently, except locally. Of course, if the internet is down, no can sell their bitcoins either.  |

however, the world relies on the US Empire's military power (we have 99% of it)
89% of statistics are made up on the spot emitted directly from the statistician's ass. I think what he's trying to say is the USA holds the balance of military power. But that is also not calculable number. His use of 99% is just an exaggeration for effect. |

Which is why I said you are RIGHT but it is irrelevant. The most likely scenario is Moore's law hold, there is no global war wiping out technological progress and your encryption must be able to handle 1 million fold increase in computing power over the next three decades.
Agreed, it is irrelevant if people use strong encryption. "The most likely scenario is Moore's law hold".So there's at least a 51% chance that Moore's Law will hold? How did you calculate that? But I'm off-topic. [EDIT]: Another nail in the coffin - The High Cost of Upholding Moore's Law |

No one is hoping for a nuclear war (well....except maybe Donald Rumsfeld et al.). But war is an inevitable scenario, only one of several possible scenarios that would 'encourage' people to be less fascinated with decryption and more focused on say, putting food on the table, or otherwise perpetuating the human race.

To support rjk, WWII spawned a whole host of computers to do everything from breaking German codes to designing better bomber targeting scopes.
Solid-state transistors were not manufactured before 1948. So much for chip density R&D. 
Or hey, what about a world war? That would certainly put a damper on R&D.
Exact opposite actually. It would put a damper on R&D for increasing chip densities. Notice i said a WORLD war? Not USA takeover of camel jockey capital. That isn't supported by history. In the past, increased war spending has meant floods of war-money into both manufacturing and also R&D efforts for things the military wants. In an increasingly information-centric world, computing power is a resource wielded by powerful nations just as much as missiles and armies are. Your position isn't supported by history either, if you're arguing for Moore's Law. We have never seen a world war while Moore's Law was in effect. Of course I agree that the military needs better tech. But they won't necessarily see an immediate benefit to increased transistor count during a war. Its a long-term thing. R&D will be focused on very specialized things, and re-directed from where the money was going before. Shifted priorities is the key phrase. |
