3. There is no inherent *reason* to use bitcoin offline. Are you trying to achieve anonymity when paying for your lunch? Pay with cash, much easier. Transaction fees? Pay with cash.
no, i'm trying to eat my lunch without my bank balance dropping in value by way of reserve bank theft (quantitative easing). the more people use bitcoin offline, and the less people use government money, the better. |

The expression is "we shouldn't care less". As in we already care as little as possible and hence should not be able to care even less. I don't know why people get this backwards.
no, he has this the right way around. he's saying we should care less, because we currently care too much. he's saying "please lower your level of caring about offline stores". |

FWIW my android phone w/ barcode scanner reads them all. It helps to hold it back a couple feet from the monitor so the QR code doesn't take up much of the barcode scanner screen, you want the details to sort of blur together
yeah that's what i thought too... but the problem is zxing then gets confused by markers that are in the adjacent QR codes. edit: finally did get it to read all of them eventually. |

zxing's android scanner couldn't read #1 or #4. #5 goes to http://qrlicious.com which i'm now going to visit... |

are you talking about demo accounts?
like at oanda.com you can play 'fxgame' which is exactly like 'fxtrade' except it comes with $50,000 in fake funds to practice with.

Ignoring a piece of shit, doesnt stop it from smelling.
Shouldn't you have made that text brown? Now I'm all worried that you could have some kind of digestive tract disorder. are you saying you've never once found ketchup in your peanut butter? |

the Star 34 Family Restaurant which I do not own nor does the owner accept Bitcoin.
is it open 24/7? go down there right now in your pj's and ask them to accept bitcoin. |

damn that turtle one looked painstakingly long to make
it looks far less complicated when you click quote and view it in plain text |

Hey, there's an idea. Have a garage sale right in front of your house and sell all of this stuff there. But only take Bitcoins. LOL...this reminds me of the time where this guy broke into this house where the family was on vacation and he put everything out on the front yard and had a yard sale the next day. ... I'm not sure if he used bitcoins or not. it reminds me of the marketing campaign for 'cartman land'... I'm having this awesome garage sale with all these cool items for sale, but YOU can't buy any of it. |

yeah when i found bitcoin.org.uk i was quite impressed, and signed up, made a few posts. But I guess the lack of post volume led me to gravitate back to this forum, simply because there are more people here. |

i think it would also help a lot if every place that employs this also has some free wi-fi to piggy-back off. i wonder if it would be possible for the merchant to configure a specialised wi-fi hotspot that only allows bitcoin transactions, and no other internet traffic? |

Has bitcoin ever reached phase hype? I can't seem to remember
not on the 'beanie babie' level. or even the flooz level. in general most people have never heard of it. |

There are many people in this world that pride themselves on that they never
failed. But they have also never had success, because they never tried.
I've come to pride myself on that I've probably failed the most. It's lead
me to having the most success, because with every failure I never stopped
trying. (i wonder if he considers his hair a success or failure) |

The first MMO to come out with something unique will be very popular. Same with cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin came out with something unique. |

1) Silk Road shutting down
when did this happen? sorry i must have missed the memo. |

Okay, set-and-forget. But you'd still have to top up a balance that gets debited from. How would this be really different from paying 3, 6, 12 months in advance with bitcoin in a chunk? You'd either have balance deposited in A and get taken from steadily, or pay B the whole amount in one go and be done with it the same?
OR you'd have a steady income going into A (mining or other steady income), and a steady stream of subscription fees coming out of it. no lump sum required. |

A functional currency is also something you can hold to preserve most of your purchasing power for hours, days, weeks and months. This is not true for Bitcoin, counting since June.
but it certainly is true of bitcoin counting since March. so i guess it depends on exactly when you count from, huh? by the way bit-pay guys/girls, this is awesome work! i'm using Andreas' Android wallet and happy with it so far. |

buy some more at $5 each so your average 'buy' price is lower than $28 |
