I used to play, but was not a particularly good club player. 

Still interested...I want to get whooped.

One of my "greatest" achievements was winning the "F-Grade" at our local 100th nationals.  I won a book for the 11 days of effort.  Rating got to 1300-1400 range, but haven't played seriously for years.

Considering.  When do you need funds by?

Wouldn't it be easier just to get a matched pair off ebay?

I have some 184-pin stuff lying around, but not exactly what you are after.

Here's some more reality for you.
Congrats on dropping from 2nd to 3rd place.

Only a child could think a coin which has 1/6th the value of SolidCoin is somehow beating it. Keep going kindergarten troll.

Normally I read and avoid posting, but this one deserves a response.

Japanese yen are worth 1/70th to 1/80 of a US dollar.  Could the yen beat the dollar - doesn't have to, it is on equal footing as it still buys "stuff".  Dismissing a currency due to it's exchange rate is foolish.

Turkish lire was one of the favs in the past, about 100 to the Italian lire, and that was what, 1000 to the dollar?
1286  Economy / Lending / Re: Looking for a loan. Have collateral on: February 18, 2012, 08:13:46 PM
Hey,

I love how people have called me a scam since day one. I have not stole/scammed anything from anyone. I have not done anything wrong. I did not know that it was a scam to try for a loan. Especially with collateral. I am not asking for a "unsecured" loan.

Also I have called the pawn shops in my area and they do not buy new watches. It's bullshit. I have the paperwork as well as the box for it. My wife got it for me on our 5 year anniversary(not married that long, but been together that long). I really want the item back but I will consider selling it if the price is right. I have already spoke with her about it. If you don't believe me that's fine but I am telling you the truth. If you want to check up on me I am located in Buffalo NY. Go ahead call the pawn shops and they will all tell you that they do not want it because it's not brand new release and it's not old enough to take in as well.



I was also wondering about the pawn shop route - you're after a 240 loan on an 800 watch.  It would be a shame to have to sell it, and you wouldn't get nearly enough compared to purchase price.  I was also interested because I like the Tag designs, but gave up wearing watches a few years ago because I didn't need one.  I'm also going assume this loan would be replacement for the ice hockey gear (and I am aware some kids in Europe basically learn to skate the same time they learn to walk).

I think the main thing that puts me off is the term is quite long and I'm not sure how you would repay.

Most jurisdictions allow the public to inspect the physical records (registration/articles of association etc) at the registered address.  There is normally no requirement to provide them free to anyone that asks.  The OP could go to Singapore and view them, if it is a registered business. 

Of course, many "businesses" are not registered and do not need to be under local laws if they are small (self employed people often come under that category, or sole traders).

Then again, there are some other places where you can register a business without any paper work at all, and for no fee - and you can stay secret as long as you like. 

Zhou has answered many questions.  Like others, having a formal account identification is not necessary (I don't have an account or id with many people I exchange cash or credit with - others I do).

Yes, received.  Even has your name next to it in the client.  Smiley
Automatically ? or because you pre-labelled it ?

I pre-labelled it.  I do that when I tag a receive address against someone I'm dealing with.

If it was automatic, I'd have to find a tin-foil hat and be worried about who knew what Smiley

I was interested so did some more hunting.  The painting appears to be "Evolution of Civilization", "Progress of Civilization" and a couple of other titles.

I did also find  "Progress of Civilization" but that was a sculpture.  http://www.aoc.gov/cc/art/pediments/prog_sen.cfm

(Again, posts while I am typing - see above link)

I still don't get it.  You asked for the name and location.  I provided both.  Patrick did not provide the title.  That is all. 

Actually I did get a title and gave the reference (it took me a couple of more minutes after my original post).  I was interested you obtained a different title and am curious where it came from as your link does not appear to mention it.

I only knew about this quiz because it was pointed out to me a few hours ago and did a simple look up of "dome mural islam mages" the last I assumed was a contraction of middle ages which apparently was correct.  The #1 google image had a pic that matched.

(while typing I see Sen has responded - I'm not fussed - happy for Littleshop to take the prize)

This mural in the Main Reading Room of the Jefferson Building at the Library of Congress places Islam in a position that
indicates the inclusiveness with which America faced Islam more than a century ago.

Not sure if it has a name.  Edit: Human Understanding  ref: http://www.loc.gov/loc/walls/jeff1.html  section "The Paintings in the Dome"
1294  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Who can you trust? on: February 17, 2012, 01:54:58 AM
Depends on how much you are trusting them with. Any amount of trust comes with the possibility you will get burned. The higher the value, the less trust you should have.

Anonymous:

$5 - Most people.
$50 - People that seem honest, have some short history of being honest.
$500 - People that have a well established history of being honest. (Last stop for anonymous transactions.)


Edited out the bits I didn't want, but the sentiment is spot on.  For anonymous transactions, how do you feel about it if it was a gift or donation where you don't get the money back.

If I give $5 to someone on the street I wouldn't expect it back - especially if they need it for food or a place to sleep.
$50 is more donation territory for a lot of people, but getting it back eventually or some other way is nice.
$500 or around 100 bitcoin - never hurts to ask and there is some small beginnings of a trust network/grading system evolving. 

It also depends on how much you can afford to lose.  As I've gotten older, the amount increases.

i suppose you know it's not our job to determine the legality of an online service, we just use them without asking too many questions. I would really like to know, in what country is bitcoinica registered ?

For those with short memories, there is a very nice thread tracking down Mt.Gox and if they were registered.  Eventually (much later) it was confirmed.

Just because paraipan doesn't know something, apparently the rest of the world doesn't know either.  Therefore, every business in the world should respond to him with their AML policy.  If he has a fax number, I'll send mine.
1296  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Deepbit hopping on: February 16, 2012, 08:05:09 PM
For interest I added another five days data to try to increase the size of the dataset (a few over 600 blocks) because Deepbit has had a few 2-3 hour solves recently (including a 184 minute monster).

Distribution is still very noisy with an average solve time of 26 minutes (Sd of 27 minutes) and average hash rate 51,440 shares/minute (s.d. 3246).  Testing different regression fits gave less than 5% R^2.

Thanks for the quick response.  I looked at the "bucket" when you launched the concept a little while ago, and it's a good idea.  It has it's place and uses amongst the different offerings in the lending space, and I hope it works for you.
1298  Economy / Lending / Re: Offering 8BTC Line of Credit @ 15% APR on: February 16, 2012, 06:29:07 PM

That’s really all there is to it. You just have to make sure the bucket is never at zero when it’s time to pay interest.


or? 

I need to make this more than a one word post - looks like someone could set up the credit, drain it and be gone.  What else is there as a protection?
