Did I miss Bitcoin 1.0 somehow?

I think you should ask Mark what he would do if the law commanded him to fly to Jupiter every morning. Sometimes laws make no sense or are impossible or silly or wrong to follow. You can either keep your head down or fight it and he doesn't seem inclined to keep his head down. So (and it doesn't impact me at all so take it for what it is worth) it's time to fight, leave the address, people will broadcast whatever tx they want to the network and there is nothing you can do about it. A fight about this would be great imo, finally politicians talking (probably nonsensically still) about something interesting.
If the law really commands that you can't accept bitcoin donations without gathering identity data then you have to be careful never to associate yourself with a bitcoin address or else risk being donated to against your will and have no ability to return or decline them.

And you take it until the bet ends??  Say he hasn't paid on day 20. You still take bets? that's insane. If I were you, I'd stop taking new bets at least a week earlier than the 3 weeks resolution time. Nah. I'm firm on this one. But neither can this. |

Can I safely wait?
From the OP: I reserve the right to lock this thread and stop accepting additional bets at any time. All existing bets in the thread will still be honored regardless.
So it looks obvious that if you wait you may lose your chance to bet. I agree that couldn't possibly be more clear. |

I'm going to wait till at least day 20 before i bet
me too  It will be obvious by then what the result is, and MNW said he can stop accepting bets at any time. That is what the OP says. And you take it until the bet ends?? Say he hasn't paid on day 20. You still take bets? that's insane. If I were you, I'd stop taking new bets at least a week earlier than the 3 weeks resolution time. Nah. I'm firm on this one. But then this. So which is it? Can I safely wait? |

It's not very clear, since we already have access to both. Also there is one address for the two things, how to choose? What happens if .05 are sent?
Seems like it should be an address per item.
You have access to old versions, but not new versions. In the action column, it indicates the type of changes. An update means the content has changed in some ways. However, there's currently no way to indicate changes. Like I said in a previous post, Notes and Thoughts contains new notes on the American medical system through the perspective of Kiba as a patient, and book reviews note for each books that kiba recently completed. The changes in Why I Unlicense is merely a minor correction, so it only get 0.01 BTC. The way donation works right now is that you donate to reach a certain funding goal(in our case, the grand total of 0.06 bitcoin), then all the content ransomed is released. If I have to make a new address for each item, it will mean I have to input more addresses, which is a kind of pain without automation. So nothing will happen at .05? I guess the system makes sense and just needs clearer words. I think most people would thing that if the send .01 the first thing would open up. Wait, is it like that? Or is it only both at .06? |

That goes for everyone that has posted in this thread so far (except the OP and the 1st 2 posts)
This is a thread for people to post if/when they get their funds from pirate
Not for people to post every 5 mins to ask if anyone has received any funds yet
If it isn't in the thread... then NO !!!!
And even if it is in the thread, still no. |
|
|

So what... an hour before these funds should start showing up on Gox? Is there a way people could short cut this to get in before the massive sell off? I'd hate to be last in line.
Best way to do this is transfer money to MTGox immediately ! But I assume he is being paid in BTC, not dollars. He is going to have to wait for his 6 confirmations. What if he offers a fat transaction fee? How much faster could he expect? 0 amount faster. |

It's not cool to return to sending address without stating you might do it upfront.
These people didn't want to donate to a random Gox address.

What's the cutoff?
Up until the bet ends. Interesting. I guess all the action will get booked before, say, the 17th day of no payments. It's sort of like you are giving odds then. If he pays back to day you lose the little amount that it is booked, but as it drags on and loss is more likely you'll have a lot more action. |

You should sign the message with the private key. Virgin, not, doesn't matter.

Can I just bet on general confusion and strife. Like if anyone anywhere is upset, I win. Can I book this bet? In this thread?

Someone write a decent story and make one word appear for each .001 that hits an address. I'm thinking any payment makes more visible for everyone.
Build the framework I guess, would be very cool. Let author upload text, bitcoin address, price per word (character?) and mark how much we get for free (need a teaser).
Show browsers however much of each story is paid for and tell them how much per word and to completion.
Let me know if you find the story. I would like to include it in my Notes and Thoughts somewhere. Sorry, it was more like a command "Hey someone! Write a story!" Unless you mean "find it in myself and let it pour out" in which case... don't hold your breath. |

echoing OP comments.
Someone should write him and say "I know the dollar is backed by nothing, but would you consider accepting them anyway. I imagine some potential customers would appreciate it and you can always trade the dollars for things that you do like."

You can keep BTC on the card, the conversion will be instant when you use it. Someone confirm this?
|

I understand from a purist standpoint the bitinstant card isn't our ultimate goal. It's baby steps toward adoption and the adoption period may take a long long time.
It will promote more agorist merchants within the BTC community. A quicker way of converting them to cash (at least in the USA) is needed, and this will fill the gap for now. Yes, this is nice (like tiny unnoticeable nice) for every merchant in the world, now you guys can more easily and cheaply spend your coins to them. But it's really nice for small merchants who have been earning coins and unloading them in medium sized batches with somewhat large fees. Also nice for Bitcoin savers who live on the edge of 0 fiat. |

There is no need for panic as Bitcoin is still the same awesome, safe and ingenious thing it was last week.
Not pirate is responsible for the current crash but the amok runners.
Stop the panic!
Also, just as awesome as last month when the price was... about what it is now. |

Finally, a thread with no mention of Pirate.
edit: damnit, you specifically mentioned him at the end, I'm blind and you're not subtle.
