Anyone knows any good restaurant (sea food preference)  in London (central if possible) that accepts Bitcoins?
The Fat Duck is rather nice; I think they take bitcoin.

Maybe traders should send beforehand funds to Maxmint/Pouncer and they do the deals with a fee included for them!
Maybe a little too complex - but...
A hybrid includes 'funded' offers.  A green shading behind an offer in the order book indicates funds are already on deposit with the escrow agent.  All one has to do to claim the offer is send the counter funding!  Deals done instantly.  Not as good as the DEx - but far more efficient than what we have today.

Got them via the Exodus address, no other previous owners.
Wow!

This is actually a very interesting post.  That he specifies 'no previous owners' to indicate somehow that these are more pure that others which have bounced around a bit.  On the surface, you might think that is laughable.  But it is not.  Because of the discrepancies between validation systems, those coins bounced around a lot may finally get resolved as 'invalid'.  It would be on the final holder to take that loss.  Therefore, if a person had some coins on an address which he knew to be invalid on the other system (Masterchest, Mastercoin explorer) and sold those - in the end, that would be a fraud.  So, I'd rather only take coins with 'no previous owners' - than those of uncertain nature.  It is a peculiar aspect of the state of the system today.  I think it will soon be resolved.  But it is not resolved now.  Time to take a step back from the DEx and perfect the three validation engines so there is perfect agreement between them.  

Going too fast - doesn't help anyone.
Hmmm.  Interesting.  Couldn't they just make a script that searched on every MSC transaction (There aren't very many yet) and where they find disagreement they can shoot up a flag?  It seems like this would only take one day for all three programmers to work on.  They could meet - run the script - discuss what caused the failure on the non-agreeing system(s) - Put the code right - move to the next inconsistency - until they all agree.  8 hours at most.  Then, get back to work on the DEx.  Done.  That might even shut up Killerstorm.

MST means STD in french.  Roll Eyes
...and there is a lot of that in France - those people are dirty - sexually that is.  
Huh ?
I'm french and I don't know what you're talking about.  Tongue
Well, look down at your dick.  Do you see that it is funny looking with a strange shape and smells like a three week old Camembert?  That's what I am talking about!!!

You forget to swich between your multiple account to reply...

But about the dick, people have unfortunate habit to defer their problems on others.
They call it a transfer.
I hope for you that I'm wrong
lol Smiley
I just made the crack about France.  That part about the cheese is even too mean for me.

Yes this is a little concerning. It seems like there's a lot of "well we'll see what JR says on this," yet answering questions or dealing with mastercoin is clearly not a priority of his.

Mastercoin is a priority of his.  Providing answers to foolish internet trolls who think they are due an explanation because they invested their entire allowance this week on Mastercoin - isn't a priority of his.  The reason you all can be sure JR is a stand up guy taking thing seriously, is because he is not in an internet forum providing answers to dumb asses.  That is precisely why I am very worried about this Johnson character who seems like a total rookie getting in a shit slinging fight with Killerstorm - the shithead who started all of this because his Colored Coins isn't as popular as Mastercoin.

Not EVERY week, but this week is a big family week in the US.
Hasn't JR said that he can't be involved with Mastercoin on the weekends? That's 2 out of 7 days...
JR's wife is ruining this project.  $100 million down the drain because some woman can't live without her hubby mowing the lawn on Sunday.  What a drag.
1388  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 'Mastercoin is a joke' on: November 30, 2013, 12:26:41 AM
It's not a joke.  It's making my transactions take longer and cost more, which is frankly irritating.
Every bitcoin transaction makes your transaction take longer and cost more.  The blockchain is not perfect.  Those clever guys at the foundation are going to figure out a solution real soon.  bitcoin had this identical problem long before JR Willet showed up with Mastercoin.  Visa does 20,000 transactions per minute - bitcoin does only 7 / second.  The blockchain was never going to support heavy action anyway.  They will find a nice solution in the next year or two. 
1389  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: MasterCoin Buyer/Seller Thread on: November 30, 2013, 12:20:33 AM
The day I sell these for .5, I am going to send you a 'thank you' postcard - suckers!!

Exactly what I've been thinking. Good luck with your cheap coins.

Market panic will make you a lot of money.  Even on bad stocks - emotions are where the real money is.
1390  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / 'Mastercoin is a joke' on: November 29, 2013, 11:58:26 PM
What the fuck is wrong with those guys at Colored coin?  Is their project failing so badly that they need to sling mud into our project?  Wow - I didn't expect that.  They must be hurting.
1391  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Sell your Bitcoins in Brazil for a high price!!! on: November 29, 2013, 05:56:27 PM
I said, that I would use Paypal to send the money to you or any other method you want. If you think Paypal can be charged back, just ask for a different way for me to send you the money.

- Sell to me some bitcoin.
- I´ll sell them at mercadobitcoin.com
- Then I´ll send to you the money I got from the bitcoins minus my comission.
- Then you send to me the money I paid for your bitcoins.

So you get the profit and now I have to trust you.
Thiago
No problem Thiago - these guys are all pussies.  I'll do business with you. 

First send me an envelop full of cash.  When I get that, I'll send you some bitcoin.  After you sell the bitcoin, you'll have more money than you send.  Send whatever amount you want. 

No problem.  I trust you.  I love dealing with guys like you.
1392  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: MasterCoin Buyer/Seller Thread on: November 29, 2013, 05:19:01 PM
lol right. I was testing the waters guys..but seriously I am looking to sell. Give me your best offers. PM
You are not going back on our deal right?  You are looking to sell...  ...to sell 20 BTC. 

Have you ever heard the word 'ambiguous'? 

Now send your 20 BTC to Max to keep up your end of the bargain.

Does Mastercoin have to run on top of Bitcoin?
Well, currently it does, because that is the fastest approach to building Mastercoin. It may do so in the future.

However, in case there are some scalability or other concerns that make us not want to run on top of Bitcoin, we can switch it out for another decentralized layer e.g. a dedicated alt.

Reads like an alternate currency. Overall, it all reads like it is still work in progress.

Yep - is still a work in progress.  It's not a currency.  It is a bitcoin development project.  That is why it WAS in the right place.  Now it is buried in a bunch of spam crap - 'Free NewCoins!!!!'; 'Free thatCoins'; bullshit.
1394  Other / Meta / Forums FUBAR on: November 29, 2013, 03:14:36 PM
Oh why, oh why did Theymos f-up the forums?  Mastercoin is not an altcoin.  Now, our crap is buried in all the nonsense of the altfreaks with their scams and constant announcements of free coins.  What a nightmare.

FYI, I edited the homepage to make StackExchange and Quora our official support channels.

This is now at the top of our homepage:


The StackExchange link you provided is garbage.  It is just a general bitcoin Q&A which has little or nothing to do with MSC.  Further, it is a poorly organized system.  It is merely a long list.  Nobody will use it because you must read 50 questions before landing on a topic of interest.

Quora is also garbage.  The landing page invites one to 'sign up' for an account.  Do you think I've got time to sign up for another 'account'.  I click the back button of website which first ask me to 'sign up for an account' - faster than it takes for the page to load.  Pure junk.  This has nothing at all to do with MSC.  Why is it featured at the top of the MSC web page?  If you continue to pile worthless crap at the top of the page - you will destroy the usability of MSC.  Now you've wasted another 30 minutes of my concentration bandwidth.  I doubt I'll be visiting mastercoin.org again as I'll recall there is nothing but meaningless crap found there. 

Can't somebody prepare a decent website for Mastercoin?
1396  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: MasterCoin Buyer/Seller Thread on: November 28, 2013, 03:01:34 PM
I would like to buy 100 MSC @ 0.20
-Chainsaw
Chain -  I can fill that order if you'll escrow with Maxmint or Pounder

It seems JR said in 2011 he would quit his day job and concentrate on his own project if BTC reaches 1000.
That is today. Smiley

He also said he'd quit if Mastercoin could provide his family with $564.6K.  What of it JR?  Let's do it.  That amounts to less than 1/10th of the Mastercoin bank today.  Good deal for your wife, good deal for you, good deal for Mastercoiners.

The number is $564,600 (the project is currently at 2439 BTC x $118@coinbase = $287,802, leaving us short of that mark by $276,798  = 2346 BTC). Nearly doubling the project fund does seem like a pretty big stretch in just the next couple days, even if we get some big investments from bitangels. However there are a couple ways we might still get there, which I'll get to later.
[...]
    To avoid risk of a bitcoin crash, we would plan to take large chunks of salary in advance (exact amounts to be determined, with amounts largely driven by resulting tax liabilities)
    Total yearly cost: <Redacted> + <Redacted> + <Redacted> = $177k
    Three-year cost = 177*3 = $531k

In addition, I promised her the following items would be paid for out of project funds

    Desk rental at a co-working space, estimated at $350/month ($4200/year)
    Daily transportation costs (Cozi funds my Orca card at about $8 per round trip = $2000/year)
    All travel expenses, including bringing family along if desired, estimated at $5000/year for attending two conferences
    Yearly estimate = 4.2 + 2 + 5 = $11.2k
    3-year estimate = 11.2*3 = $33.6k

Total for 3 years: 531 + 33.6 = $564.6k

1399  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Mastercoin - what is that? on: November 17, 2013, 06:50:04 PM
My friend told me about something he said is 'Bitcoin/Mastercoin'.  Where can I find out more about that? I don't see it on these threads here.
