Yes, daddy. * nelisky looks down in shame, while slowly walking towards the corn field. Now we're getting somewhere! breandan81, yes there is a sale on bitcoin at MTGox. That might be an early Christmas present. However if I buy some it is sure to go down some more.  |

Nobody said anything about stopping sex. We're talking about porn.
Anyway, I think the thing that really grates on my nerves is this idea that the "American Way" is somehow inferior to, what, the European way?
I'm sure lots of people on here don't like the Tea Party, but the Tea Party movement is an outworking of the uniqueness of America. Yes, the USA has some big problems and is headed in a fascist direction. But where else in the world do you get thousands of people protesting for government to stop giving them freebies? Where else do people demand their government spend less?
Porn, guns, Tea Party, freedom, self-reliance, state paternalism. These things are all tied together.
Anyway, get back to work.

If gun ownership led to bank robbery Switzerland would be in a state of siege.
(Sorry about my participation in this thread hi-jacking, breandan. Just advertising the benefits of gun ownership for ya!)

Not trying to be moralist or anything, but I talk about porn for teenagers and I get "we don't want the parents hovering on us because of this" type of comment, but now you sell firearms and ammos for bitcoins...  Oh the irony of the American Way (tm) That's one view. My view is porn is more dangerous than firearms. Firearms can destroy the body, porn can destroy the soul. Firearms can keep government in check. Porn can keep the populace subdued and compliant. |

Couldn't they mine World of Warcraft gold or something and sell it for bitcoin?
I may be really off base here. I don't play WoW or any other type of those games, but I did hear there was a market in WoW gold where first-worlders pay third-worlders to generate gold.

Darn, someone is selling wildly I wonder if that person sold because they saw S3052's red text earlier in this thread. Nah, price dropped because I bought a bunch the other day. Happens with just about everything I buy. Maybe I should post my trades so you guys can make a bundle short selling. |

Blimmerhead, did you ignore this thread on purpose? (Sent a PM)
No I didn't ignore this thread. I can no more ignore a thread automatically than I can subscribe to one on this forum. Argh. Payment has been sent. |

Sallie Mae is a government owned agency, it's possible to "owe" them money without ever agreeing to borrow from them.
How does that happen? (I'm a Canadian, so I have very little understanding of your loan guarantors. Maybe the problem down there is you make them sound so benign: "Fannie Mae", "Freddie Mac", "Sallie Mae". It sounds like a contingent of cousins from across town). |

Anyone in Switzerland?
I'm an expat living in the Zurich area. Probably too busy this year to make it to a meet up though. me too this year and Zurich is not just around the corner as I am in Lausanne/Geneva area, but lets keep it in mind for next year especially when we have more people joining. We can have a day of skiing together in Feb or March 11! :-) Skiing meetup, now you're talking. I'd consider coming from Canada for that. Or maybe at the historic Grand Prix in Monaco in 2012.... two reasons to meetup is better than one! |

Also, with the advent of bitcoingateway.com, I don't think cash-in-the-mail is the best way to buy them anymore.
When did that launch? That's great we finally have a credit card solution. |

http://nhunderground.com/forum/I have an ad already showing on nhunderground for one of my sites. as far as cost goes there are a lot of sites where it is zero$ to display ads. Searching "liberty" on project wonderful doesnt get many results so what other suggested keywords are worthwhile? I wouldn't necessarily limit to certain types of sites based on keywords. If the ad space is free anywhere, why not grab it? |

I'm also concerned about government banning it. Possibly one way to fly under the radar of government long enough to get established in the mainstream and thus make it politically expensive for government to intervene is to blah blah blah, blah blah, blah blah.
Remember that by writing exactly this sentence this is becoming public information... enabling governments to read this and step in earlier.. Better not to write about this in open forums (my opinion..) Okay I've edited mine, now you have to edit yours! |

I read the article by Elliott Prechter in the September Elliott Wave Theorist. I think the biggest attraction was it's non-inflationary nature, followed by the potential for micro-payments.

Put me down for 15 BTC as well.

For me most transactions have been almost instantaneous.
I'm no developer though, they may be able to indicate occasions where it won't be so fast.
Wow am I an idiot. I utter the above yesterday, and today things are going so slowly I was beginning to wonder if I had botched up my client or wallet somehow. What the heck is going on? |

I haven't installed it yet but just wanted to say 'thanks'. This is a fantastic extension for Joomla, and for bitcoin. Great idea, thank you for doing it.

It would be good if freelancer or odesk accepted payment in bitcoin.....
Yeah, which brings us back to that we really need a kind of job distribution site based on bitcoins. IMHO that has a higher priority than patching vbulletin. If people have ways to earn bitcoins and make themselves useful in the process, they might also complain less about the mining process I've looked into setting up a getafreelancer type site, but what about this as an alternative: a forum devoted to bitcoin projects divided into the following categories. 1) Projects with a bounty -each project would get it's own sub-forum 2) Projects for hire -each project gets it's own sub-forum 3) Collaborative projects (no money changing hands here) -each project gets it's own sub-forum That way all the bitcoin projects that are available can be tracked in one place, and each can have multiple discussion threads for different aspects of a given project. If a few of you think it's a good idea post here and I'll set it up. |
