Seriously though, Rarity, how long are you going to continue to suck my dick?
Maybe it will help you slow down on the highway. |

jake , can you tell us your project, you used the loan for a new website
is it ready yet ?
No I cannot right now, I am working with a very large company, and they love it. So once it is ready, and I have permission to discuss the project, then I can. You cannot right now, you are a teenager and you're working with a very large company, and they love it? Anyone got any popcorn left? |

I sense another classic thread in the making. I beg you all to proceed.

You can use virtual items as collateral, such as TF2 items, WoW, DOTA 2, D3, etc. No shipping and cost of items is widely known.
Ah, very smart! Sounds great. [edit] and no need for vaults and shotguns then  |

http://blockchain.info/poolsAll it would take is the collaboration of these Big 3 to turn the network to their will, whether it be in secret or otherwise. How do we turn them into tiny networks like on the other side of the graph? You sound like one of these regulation-loving bureaucrats who have no clue about economics and break up corporations because they supposedly 'hurt' competition. Corporations themselves are a construct of the regulation-loving bureaucrats. Corporations lobby for regulations which their small business competitors can't afford. Corporations are limited liability so when they screw up, the owners won't be held accountable. If you aren't a fan of the state, you shouldn't be a fan of corporations either. Are you kidding? You don't have your economic/business theory in check. How can you even try to imply that corporations, which are simply a legal construct and a synonym to "big businesses" are, per definition, entities that lobby the state? Shouldn't you ask yourself WHY it is that they lobby the state? Because the state allows it... Because politicians like money. If that weren't the case, we wouldn't know lobbyism. But still the corporations are to blame? And just to clarify the fundamentals: a "big business" was once a small business, too. Well, there is quite clearly a difference between "sole proprietorship" and "corporation". Are the corporations to blame? No, the public is to blame for allowing it to happen. Just as they are to blame for over reaching bureaucrats. At this point, the two (corporations and government) are so entwined that the baby and the bath water must be thrown out if we are to expect any kind of change. Okayed |

Seeing the ultra-low adoption of bitcoin in Greece, I've decided to try setting up some useful services that might draw people's attention to bitcoin. My first idea is of a web site that will provide users the ability to send SMS messages to Greek mobiles, at low rates (or free if the service becomes self-sustainable). What I've come up with are the following:
I'm curious; what technology would you use to send the texts in question? |

#6 What drugs are you on at the moment? List Legal and Non Legal.
I've never done drugs (at least not knowingly) in my life, nor drank nor smoke. I'm a workaholic though. I detect some vanity (?). Hyperboled: if you have enough time to determine you're a workaholic, you're not a workaholic. |

What if... Pirate and MNW were colluding!  As in, Pirate does have the money, and they're tricking people into thinking he doesn't, eventually resulting in a massive bet win for MNW when P does pay out? PIRATECEPTION Nevermind me. Just kidding. Please proceed. |

Please help me understand/explain to an economist friend of mine...
He argues that Bitcoins have no chance in global success because a this system be used to create credit.
Bitcoins cannot be used to leverage. --> You cannot use Bitcoins to create credit. ---> It can't replace existing credit already created by the current system.
For Bitcoins to be successful, it has to be able to replace the existing debt!
Please help me:
Where is he right/wrong?
His is, indeed, a very conservative pro-establishment Keynesian point of view. If you are looking for arguments, look into the discussion for/against (a return to) the gold standard. The points will be almost identical, but there will be a lot more info. One of the things he's wrong in is propounding the legitimacy of fractional reserve banking. |

Well in my case I probably wouldn't be doing anything so large it would become a target worth going after, but as far as security, the actual storage site would not be revealed and I am armed. I could also probably find a safe. I would be the only one with access to any of the items.
So you would do the loaning, and I would give you an object in collateral. Correct? That's the idea. Unless this is a purely local effort, on a larger scale, things will get more complicated. - I can't send you big objects since it is likely shipping costs will be outsized. That means you should set an explicit limit to object size. - How are the shipping costs handled? - How is the value of the object in question determined? (You won't accept a toothpick for a 1000 BTC loan, but what will you accept?) Just a few points, to brainstorm  |

What IS this BS?
"too" big?
"it is highly recommended"?

Sounds good, but I'm concerned about the logistics. How would the collateral in question be safeguarded?

That thread is so transparent in its intentions that it doesn't deserve to be mentioned. Yet I will waste one more sentence on it; changing my off-poll "abstain" into "go away". |
