You should go all the way and hire lobbyists. The returns on bribing big gov't are astounding.

So how many Bitcoins is this "1 satoshi" worth?

Thyatis, it won't change by much. I will have a number for you soon, hopefully tomorrow.


Thanks, 4ner. Sure, you can get an unprinted one, it costs a bit less too.


Yeah, a mouse slides around smoothly on leather.

As for problems with using a mouse on a desk, I'd say it depends on the surface. Optical mouses don't track well on some surfaces, so you might get cursor-jerkiness. And a mouse would scratch / scuff a wooden desk over time. If you have a mechanical mouse, it'd probably pick up more dust from a desktop and need frequent cleaning of the rollers.

Thanks, quone17.

Thanks, Onkel Paul! Wasn't aware of that.

The price is $28.16 with print, $26.22 without.

or €20.50 / €19.09

or ¥171 / ¥159


I'll tell the cattle rancher to get a more stylish branding iron. But seriously, I was thinking of having white and orange dyes used, to colour it like the icon. Still have to see if that's possible.

It's cow leather. 

I could get them done in buck leather also. Kudu leather is very nice.

Sure thing, Faizaa. A leather mousepad with no print will be $2 less, so that's .

I'll put up an option on my website for a no print version, your choice of BitPay there or escrow here.

Now taking orders for these leather mousepads with BTC print, either here via escrow or through Bitpay on my site. The special intro price is , at the current Gox rate.

Description:

This large, brown leather mousepad are precisely laser-etched with the Bitcoin symbol.

Fine stitching is featured around the edges. The leather is backed by a firm, non-slip rubber board.

This pad works great for an optical or wheel mouse, as tested in graphics work and FPS gaming.

Your wrist won't stick to the leather surface, which has a pleasant, slightly rough texture.

I had similar problems to solve selling goods from South Africa.

How about aboriginal art? Boomerangs and those musical instruments, didgeridoos I think? Could make nice curios.

Otherwise, precious stones maybe. Especially if Oz has any special kinds. Those could work well, by themselves or as jewelery.

I understand you have a lot of sheep. Wool clothing could work.

Finally, Wikileaks Party memorabilia could be a real winner! Official shirts with "Vote Wikileaks"-style logos would be cool anywhere.

How much for a photo where your room is tidy? 

I can set you up with a site like mine. Sent you a PM.

Thanks, this is cool!

I suggest an option to edit a store once posted. I guess that'd need a password system...

Yeah, I was doing too many things at once and messed up my entry a bit.

I can get angle grinders too. 

Pratley Putty has also been used to repair cracking in a main support of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. As it sets underwater, it's even been used to repair sunken ships before refloating them. This a South African product which is hard to beat!

I use it a lot myself around the home, mostly for my aquaponics projects. It's great for stopping leaks, and before it sets (it only takes about 20 minutes to harden and then sets stronger than steel) it can be easily worked into shape and smoothed with a wet finger. It dries to an offwhite colour.

As with liquid epoxy resins, it only becomes sticky when two components are mixed; ensuring a long shelf-life and no problems with setting during storage. It adheres to metal, stone, cement, concrete, slate, glass, wood and just about any other rigid material.

Pratley also make a Quickset and Steel version of their famous putty. They do other great adhesives as well, you can check out their website for the full range. You can read more on the history of the company here, it's fairly interesting.

I doubt you'll be able to find this stuff in your local hardware store, but I guarantee I'll sell it cheaper. I'm thinking about 4 - 5 USD per pack, shipping won't be much as it's light (125g).

If you'd prefer the icon or coin separately, message me and I'll work out a special price for that

Satoshi's spelling has really gone downhill since his white paper days.

Collectors and those wishing to remember the life of Nelson Mandela (1918 - 2013) may appreciate this item:



Available for Bitcoin only from my online store.

Sure, I might be interested. Here's my bio:

- Freelance writer for about 10 years.
- Daytrader and investor; solid technical analyst.
- Invested in Bitcoin for over a year.
- Owner of Bitcoin business (link in my sig).
- Miner of altcoins (LTC, PPC and currently ANC).

Here's a relevant example of my work, a review of a local Bitcoin exchange.

Everyone talks their book. You guys posting "in defence" of Bitcoin is probably down to owning some.

Peter Schiff makes no secret of his business ties. He's also an Austrian economist, and their official position as per Mises.org is that Bitcoin suffers from lack of inherent value.

I think the lack of inherent value thing is a flawed argument - the inherent value is strong cryptography, which is so valuable that governments tried (and failed) to monopolise its usage.

Anyway, imo hating on gold is retarded. It's another great hedge against gov't toilet paper. It's not as useful for trade as Bitcoin, especially internationally, but it's damn good at retaining value. China, Russia and other countries aren't vacuuming up all the world's gold for fun...

As for the current price of gold, the paper market is completely manipulated - much worse than Libor and silver market, etc. Gold is the traditional "canary in the coal mine" of paper money, but the corrupt markets allow suppression of "the gold price."

Right now, a lot of goldbugs still don't trust Bitcoin. Some never will, but many will come around in time if Bitcoin lasts. I suspect Peter Schiff is one of the latter. A gold-backed altcoin would be a hard thing to achieve but it's still an interesting idea.

Peercoin, yes please.
