*bump* Any takers for higher than 26BTC? With the two €150 tickets to theconference.eu it's worth at least 28BTC now.

Sorry if I missed it, but how does Mycelium calculate Bitcoin price, and is there some standard that everyone uses now that Gox got Goxed?

Then I guess guns are inefficient, ineffective, and unnecessary.

They are inefficient and not as effective, but they are a hell of a lot more convenient. You're not going to carry around a bulky bomb to throw, or run to your car and drive it until it's aimed at someone, every time you want to thwart an atacker  Tongue Plus with a gun, just pointing it at someone is often effective enough to stop the other person from doing what you don't want them to.

Actually, yeah, if your purpose is to do the maximum amount of damage and carnage, cars and bombs are way more efficient and effective. If your purpose is to stop someone else from doing damage and carnage, guns are most efficient and effective.

Kaarten besteld!

Ben erg benieuwd, die vendor kaarten zijn wel aardig aan de prijs overigens.


Welke vendor kaarten?

EDIT: Oh, kaarten ticket, not kaarten card.
We hebben maar een soort kaarten vendor.

Wish I could reply to this in fluent Dutch, but not there just yet.

Waarom ga je niet gewoon antwoorden in zeer slechte en gebroken nederlandse?  Grin

Just to make sure, amonymous, you're the seller in this auction now?
Because, you know, Rassah started it.
You're also tossing in 2 tickets to the conference?

I'm selling it, and staking my reputation (or however many BTC get lost) on this. Anonymous (i.e. Moe) is holding the coin for me. And apparently sweetening the deal.

Ooooooh, Android Bitcoin Wallet just announced they're working on offline transaction sending via bluetooth (create transaction, sign, and transmit over bluetooth to the other phone, which can then broadcast to the web). You guys better step it up!  Grin

(granted their wallet doesn't even do private/public key management yet, and they keep insisting it's a bad idea, despite using just one key for all transactions, anyway)
2389  Economy / Auctions / Re: [Auction] 25BTC Casascius coin on: August 20, 2013, 08:54:07 PM
It's loaded.
I was asked to start selling it for that little to attract offers.
We don't want to redeem it because we don't want to destroy it (it's pretty! Plus getting through all that plastic will be a pain Embarrassed)
The coin is currently in Amsterdam. I'll get back to you on shipping+insurance to US.
We can do escrow if you'd like (Aww, you don't trust me?). We'd just have to agree on the person doing the escrow.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi all,

As many of you already know, I am helping to coordinate the European Bitcoin Convention in Amsterdam on September 26-28, 2013. This event is bringing together entrepreneurs, businessmen, and interested people for a three day event hosted at the beautiful Rozen Theatre.

One of our sponsors, HardBtc.org, is a contributing sponsor, and has paid for his sponsorship using a 25BTC Cascascius coin. This is one of the first purchases to have been done using hard bitcoins for large purchases, and is one of the many innovative new approaches our conference is embrancing. The thing is, many places still do not accept bitcoin as currency, and one of them is the Rozen Theatre.

While we would love to keep this coin (it’s really shiny and pretty), we have many expenses which are better paid for with FIAT currency. So, we’re offering this 2011 Cascascius coin for auction. Starting bids at 5BTC, and lasting one week.





Visible code: 1Gdh3mbP
Balance: https://blockchain.info/address/1Gdh3mbPdcYGRJkGgK1Ugs3As2CetkQABF

Payment accepted in BTC only (unless you have a high trust/reputation). Shipping extra. Will ship worldwide with insurance. Good Luck

Kan er niet een extra Bitcoin woensdag ingelast worden op 25 september voorafgaande aan deze conferentie?


Ik weet niet of iemand er vóór donderdag zal zijn.

Kan ook erna maar dan wordt het geen woensdag.

Sorry. De conferentie is donderdag tot zaterdag. Misschien kun je komen bezoeken?

Ukraine was not a sovereign country during IIWW.

It was an occupied country that was very much not in favor of being occupied by the Soviets. When the Nazis came, Ukraine welcomed them, and stayed neutral, in hoped that the Nazis will drive out the Soviets. Then the Soviets and the Nazis decided that the self-proclaimed "neutral" Ukraine was strategically important, and started killing each other, and everyone around them, all over Ukraine.


Quote
Again, thinking that Switzerland role in IIWW is somewhat related with their gun policy is way beyond retarded.

Ok, forget Switzerland. What is the best way for a country, or the people, to protect themselves when another country's dictator comes rolling in? Would that be by spending the prior decades passing gun control regulation and disarming everyone but the military, which may or may not want to fight for your side?

Quote
Military rifles are carried in the open by security/police in many countries in the world, especially in airports. In every country in the world you have "government thugs" and security employees carrying guns, nothing to be surprised about.

The reason I was surprised is because I didn't see that in airports in Italy, UK, Germany, or even US. And I've been to a lot of airports in the supposedly gun-totin' US. Most they have is pistols, not full on rifles, slung over their shoulders
2394  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Assault weapon bans on: August 20, 2013, 04:40:55 PM
And BTW, just to finish the Switzerland digression: the vast majority of firearms in possesion of Swiss citizens are directly provided by the State, with always sealed ammunition to be opened only in case of exercise or war.

Isn't that the best and cheapest way to protect a country? In USA, we don't have a government giving out guns to everyone. On the contrary, people are freaking out that some other people even HAVE guns. I think it would be great if US was like Switzerland, and everyone was properly trained on firearms use, and given guns and ammo. But since that's not happening, people have to resort to the next best thing, and acquire them themselves.
2395  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Assault weapon bans on: August 20, 2013, 04:31:38 PM
Maybe you should do a nice trip to Switzerland, stay one month, and try to understand what is the relationship of its population with their guns, maybe you would be surprised.

I lived in Switzerland for two weeks. I was surprised to see military rifles being carried in the open, especially by security at the airports. Also, from what I've read and understood, "neutral" only worked while the country crossing over you wasn't interested in you. I come from a "neutral" country, Ukraine, which was only "neutral" until either the Nazis wanted to control it, or the Soviets. So I don't think just them saying "Hey, we're neutral" was what spared Switzerland. Perhaps Switzerland claiming they were "neutral" was just a reuse, and they were really ok with Nazis using them, but didn't want anyone else to know *shrug*
2396  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Assault weapon bans on: August 20, 2013, 04:02:03 PM
Because nobody sane in Europe is proud of IIWW, in fact is one of the darkest moments of the last Century. Millions of people were butchered. Pretty obvious stuff.

So you had a very dark time, when the population was disarmed, and some very nasty people with guns came in to occupy and butcher people without guns. Then those nasty gun-totin' people were eventually kicked out when other good people with guns came to fight them off. And the lesson you guys learn is that it's best to disarm the population again? So that if any more nasty people with guns come, you'll once again be helpless? Why not take your lessons from Switzerland, which was practically the only country no one wanted to mess with, and just keep yourselves armed?

Well, everybody could acknowledge that both the USA and the USSR played a significant role in saving Europe from the Nazis thanks to the immense fire power of their armies, so it could be argued that thanks to guns Europe could get rid of Hitler, but its simply retarded as you can argue back that the German guns were what was slaughtering them in first instance. Pretty much a pointless and dumb argument if you ask me.

Can you argue that if the population was not disarmed in the first place, it would have been a lot harder for German guns to take over the population of other countries? The argument you said is retarded is pretty much the argument for MAD, with nuclear missles and USSR and USA keeping from destroying each other.

for many americans, guns are a liberation tool that made them free in recent history, that's a deeply rooted thought

Uh, that was the revolutionary war, and that was not recent history. That was a very very long time ago.

On the other hand, guns are a liberation tool that made everyone in Europe free just 70 years ago. How come Europeans don't like guns, even though they got their freedom thanks to them much more recently?

70 years ago? Who gained independence in 1943?

Wait, is this a serious question? (and sorry, I was rounding, it was 1945)
