Just noticed you added 7-Zip when I replied to you. Wouldn't use anything else. Open source FTW.

Yet another reason to use cold storage. Keep those coins (or at least their keys) away from the internet.

Good AM Bitcoinland.

Still sideways... currently $3892USD/$5222CAD (Bticoinaverage).

Ho freaking hum.

Sunday... haiku day?
Or is that meme obsolete?
I guess I'll find out.

I only met him a couple of times, had a couple of beers at my local. Nice guy.


LOL Actually that sounds more like where I am in Mexico. Super friendly people, hospitality galore.

"Mi casa es su casa."

Trumptards haven't got a clue.

Haven't heard from him in a coon's age.

Last I heard was when he last posted here.

Hope he's alright. He seemed a little down. Not the blithe joker we all knew and loved.

Hope he's turned things around.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Other than a couple of minor wobbles we've been going mostly sideways with a slight upward drift... currently $3917USD/$5255CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Stuck in the frozen north for a few more days. Spring break is playing havoc with the airlines. Couldn't get a reasonably priced flight until Wednesday.

Gotta get back. Got work in progress that has to be done before the 26th.

In the meantime, go Bitcoin go.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still edging up more or less sideways... currently $3894USD/$5233CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

A frigid good morning Bitcoinland. Didn't check in yesterday because I was busy trying to keep warm by rushing around like a madman getting shit done. Halfway there already. Hopefully I'll be back in the steamy jungle within a few days.

The price seems to have settled back into the high $3.8k range... currently $3885USD/$5218CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Still can't afford to add to my stash but at least I haven't had to sell any either.

Go Bitcoin go.


This is why most Canadians relate more to New Zealanders than to Aussies.

I'll do my best. The copious amounts of alcohol part is already in place.

It's the sub-freezing temperatures part I'm working on. We've been having a heat wave here in Quintana Roo with temps over 32C/90F every day for te past week or so. Apparently it's nice and cold in Toronto. A few days of freezing will do me good, remind me why I'm down here.

Buenos dias Bitcoinland. Sitting in Cancun airport waiting for a plane to Toronto.

I see we recovered from that tiny dip a couple of days ago and we're back over $3.8k... currently $3853USD/$5145CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Hopefully we'll head on up from here.

Before any superstitious sorts start thinking my trip up will lead to some kind of rally, I should warn you that I'll be coming back down in a few days. I'm just going up to grab a few bucks and rattle a few cages.

If you paid any attention on Groundhog Day, you'd know winter still has a way to go.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Just survived an extended power outage. Thank gawd for Honda generators.

Seems we had another little dip... currently $3737USD/$4974CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

No big deal. It does get a little annoying though. We seem to be stuck in the high $3xxx range. This could take a while.

Bitcoin addiction? Sounds more like standard run-of-the-mill gambling addiction.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Watching a bunch of toucans feasting on berries in a nearby tree as I drink my morning coffee. Gorgeous sight. So much color.

Meanwhile, the price of bitcoins has flattened out at around $3.8k... currently $3839USD/$5075CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Seems we're still hibernating during Bitcoin "winter". Hopefully springtime is just around the corner.

C'mon Bitcoin. Rise and shine.

Buenos dias Bitcoinland.

Second day of sideways after the little rally earlier this week... currently $3920USD/$5170CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

It did take another run up to $4k at Stamp but bounced off again. It might take a few more tries before finally breaking through for good.

Patience. Go Bitcoin go.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see the mini-rally of the last couple of days is continuing... currently $3975USD/$5270CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

We even briefly went over $4k. How long will we battle over $4k before we finally leave it behind for good?

This sub-$4k crap is getting really tedious.

Go Bitcoin go.

Warm southerly winds have brought a mid-winter heat wave to the Maya Jungle. Had to keep the fan on all night.

Once the new wiring is completed in a week or so, I'll be getting air conditioning. Slowly but surely I'm bringing modern comforts to my jungle retreat.

I know, I know. I shouldn't quote him but I couldn't help it.

Tattoo?

I met this guy back in 1976 where he was silk-screening pornographic t-shirts in the back of a jewelry store on Cranbrooke BC.

Dude was wearing a gingham dress, frilly apron and work boots, had his hair in an up-do, and a full beard. He had his head down so I couldn't see his face.

When I asked if he was "Jeff" (who I'd been sent to for possible photo enlargements), he looked up at me with intense eyes, revealing a sideways third eye tattooed on his forehead and intoned, "I am ManWoman!"

I replied, "I am Jimbo!" He jumped back, broke into laughter, shook my hand and asked if he could help me in any way. He couldn't. His equipment wasn't large enough for the images I required.

I ran into him several times later in other towns and he always seemed to have an entourage of stunningly good-looking women half his age. The guy was definitely not LGBT. He was very much an alpha and a true artist.

They don't make 'em like that any more. RIP ManWoman.

No. I'm still in the  jungle. Got someone who owed me money to put some on my credit card. Hopefully more will follow. Probably won't head back up until the end of March. I'm not in the mood for winter and I'm busy upgrading the infrastructure and security here.

As for buying, it's always a good time to buy as long as you don't sell.

I wish I could magically cause the price to go up and down by flying back and forth. If I could I'd be rich already instead of just comfortable. As it is, I'll have to wait a few years just like everybody else.

A "reality" TV actor.

Buenos dias Tierra del Bitcoin.

I see we had a nice little leg up over $3.6k... currently $3648USD/$4844CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

It's a step in the right direction. Let's do it again a few more times. This sub $4k bullshit is getting tedious.

Go Bitcoin go.

My return flight is booked for March 26 (2 days before the Jays' home opener) but I told people  I might fly up for a few days in mid-February if I need more cash or if it's profitable enough for me.

I don't have a bank account and there's  really no place down here for me to turn bitcoins into dollars. I came down with a credit balance on my credit cards as well as cash but I've already overspent a little and now I actually owe money on one of my cards. Needless to say, I hate owing money and especially hate paying interest.

I might fly up if I can collect a debt, earn a profit, or simply sell enough Bitcoin to pay up my cards and bring down enough cash to be  comfortable for the rest of the winter. Ideally I can get someone who owes me money to put a few thousand on my cards so I can stay down here and enjoy sunshine and Mexican baseball. It's less than a buck a beer at the ballpark and that includes a donation to the local team.

Sorry but I have no control over the price of Bitcoin. The continuing coincidence is however enough to make you superstitious.  

Good morning Bitcoinland from the sunny Mayan Jungle. It's been a little chilly here at night lately, dipping down to 15C/60F at night but still rising up to 27C/80F during the day. Can't complain though when I read about the bitter cold they're having back home.

Meanwhile Bitcoin prices are still going sideways... currently $3426USD/$4500CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Yawn. Mas cafe por favor.


IMO Win8 and Win10 both suck.

I feel that they're both invasive of privacy and anonymity and infested with PRISM malware.

I don't like the fact that they treat my computer like some kind of shitty cellphone and even go so far as wanting me to have an account.

I question the need for almost-daily "updates" and feel that they are stealing my CPU cycles by running hidden processes without my permission.

I don't even trust newer versions of Win7 and SP1. My decade-old "TheThingy" ISO installs just fine on any system with legacy BIOS.

When I can't use it any more, I'll switch to Linux. I'll trust open-source software ahead of anything produced by a corporation in the USA or any country under USA control/influence which happens to be most of the world.
