Oh, I forgot to mention that you can have all my PMs too. Every discussion I've had with everyone from Memory Dealers to MatthewNWright.

There's a reason they are called "private messages" ..... just saying ... the other parties might not be too happy

Yeah, I guess that's true. I shouldn't do it, but do you think it adds any value to the sale? lol

Depends on the content of the messages, lol ....
Sometimes people include their personal data in these. Let's say a mining hardware vendor sells his account - this could be worth a lot since you are getting names and addresses of all his buyers, think of the chaos   Lips sealed
Many companies buy and sell email addresses and personal information to other companies.

And that practice is generally frowned upon and often illegal.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/9551594/Long-overdue-pardon-for-gay-war-hero

Quote
Now, nearly half a century after the war hero's suicide, Queen Elizabeth II has finally granted Turing a pardon.

"Turing was an exceptional man with a brilliant mind," Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said in a prepared statement released Tuesday. Describing Turing's treatment as unjust, Grayling said the code breaker "deserves to be remembered and recognised for his fantastic contribution to the war effort and his legacy to science."

The pardon has been a long time coming.

If there was ever an example of why the State should have limited powers, this be it. No doubt there are some today holding sufficient powers that want e.g. Edward Snowden "chemically castrated", or "terminated".

Good news I guess, but I don't see what good it does Turing now.

So how many people read the TOS and came here first? Rather then discovering you couldn't make posts then when hunt hunting for the right thread?

Let's be honest, who actually reads the TOS of forums when they sign up?

LMAO do you want me to post my degree so you know I am not lying about being around very bright people?

Sure, that would be a start.
18605  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Uk Electronic Stores Accepting BTC on: December 24, 2013, 05:05:41 PM
how long does the newbie stuff last??

So, if you could buy anything with BTC big or small what would it be??

Apart from new parts, I'd love to pay my rent and bills with it, do you think if i sent EDF some BTC they would be happy???

Not long. I've been here a little over a month and my posts are down to about 30 seconds I think.

I'd like to be able to buy most things in BTC. I hope for the day when many online retailers or highstreet shops accept Bitcoin.

tea pot calling the kettle black (i don't mean that in a racist way btw).. fuck off, obama.

Haha.

it doesn't seem like hilary clinton is any better than him. she appears to prefer the status quo, so no voting for her. she'll probably be more effective than obama has been though. that man is the best at running campiagn, and not so great at being president.

Doesn't matter who wins, they're all the same and won't change shit.

Yeah, that gets newbs a lot. I'd get used to copy and pasting your posts to avoid typing shit out again.

Greetings from the Netherlands  Grin


Welcome. Are there many places accepting Bitcoin in the Netherlands yet? I'm going back to Amsterdam in 2014 and it would be cool to spend some there.
18609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there a bitcoin wallet that doesn't cost multiple gigs to install? on: December 24, 2013, 04:36:11 PM

 Also connections from other countries/known proxies, at least without e-mail confirmation.

Yeah, not sure if you can block countries on Blockchain.info though, but that would be a good idea and one I'd like to see.

BTC may be a pump and dump but DOGE is better

How is BTC a pump and dump, and how is DOGE better?

Exactly what I was thinking? Maybe got the names backwards?

Haha, I think he might have.

Wish I had the capital to start a UK BTC store, I know plenty of people who want to buy parts just with BTC, the only stores i see at the moment sell things that no one really wants.
But i'm happy to see real shops/bars/food for BTC starting to pop up.

Yeah, I think there's going to be a helluva lot more popping up in 2014 too. There's a thread on UK businesses accepting Bitcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=261667.0

Sadly not.

I did learn yesterday that takeaway.com accepts BTC which is cool.

So far i've only found sites offering random bits of electronic crap or abandoned sites.



I'm wanting to buy a new TV but I might wait for a UK store to start accepting them before I do. I'm going to mail Richer Sounds about accepting Bitcoin soon.

Sadly not.

Yeah, I think I might make my first Bitcoin purchase on there. I'm waiting for the price to rise back up first though haha.

I might order something from Takeaway.com at the end of the month with my money from PrimeDices sig payout.

Hey,

standard first few posts to move onto other threads.

I was wondering if there were any sites that are based/delivered to the UK for computer components, and deal in BTC.
I know of several US sites, but the crazy delivery/tax costs makes it pointless.
I wish Gyft would hurry up to a UK site.

Cheers
Cap

I haven't heard of any as of yet. Have you checked http://coinmap.org?

I agree, the odds of a Federal Judge giving him the bitcoins back is very, very, low. I think he is fighting for himself and crypto-currencies too. Questions are:

1. Will they force him to disclose any private keys he hasn't disclosed?
2. How will the classify bitcoin?
3. What will become of it? Auction? Ignored?

...

1) How will they force him? They might try give him a longer sentence perhaps, but I don't think they're gonna torture them out of him.
2) I think they classify them as assets or just seized funds.
3) The feds have said they're gonna liquidate them. How, I do not know, but I hope they don't dump them all at market at once.

Why can't I reply post


It seems you can  Cheesy. You can only post once every 6 minutes as a newb, and log-ins, searches, messages and attempted posts count. I'd get used to copying your messages before you send them as a precaution.
18619  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hi everyone! on: December 24, 2013, 03:30:29 PM


p.s. if i use the preview i have to wait another 360 sec to post ?

No, but log-ins, searches, attempted posts and messages count.

Bitcoin is king, but I like a lot of things about Feathercoin, and it's still pretty cheap to buy in at the moment.
