What warranty do you offer? Any collateral?
2502  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin To Pay Your Park Fines on: February 16, 2015, 02:54:04 PM
Hey, this isn't a done deal, yet.

It could be huge since it implies official government support for BTC, but I guess it will take years.
2503  Economy / Economics / Re: Could negative interest rates in the US boost Bitcoin? on: February 16, 2015, 02:51:29 PM
Negative interests rates are an extreme from very few banks, limited to a very small number of customers who will move their money as soon as they will hear about the change. It's a non-event. The big thing is very low interest rates at most savings accounts.
2504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Somebody is mining at Microsoft's 138.91.94.19 on: February 15, 2015, 11:48:02 PM
Microsoft is several billion dollar corporation, bitcoin mining isn't even peanuts for them...

Very true, but they may want to test mining on a new operating system. Maybe they will market their new OS with a "ready-to-mine" label. That would be hot!  Smiley
2505  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: what bitcoin ads service should i use in my blog? on: February 15, 2015, 11:43:43 PM
In any case, don't expect much!

Like adsense, don't expect to be paid for impressions, only for clicks.
2506  Bitcoin / Meetups / Re: Virtual Crypto Summit -- worth attending? on: February 15, 2015, 11:41:22 PM
I'll wait till the program is complete. The hours and the time zone are missing.
2507  Economy / Digital goods / Re: Evaluate my Domain on: February 15, 2015, 11:39:37 PM
Do you also own the domain cryptocash.com?

If not, don't use your domain, there's a high risk you'll end up losing part of your traffic to it.
2508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Could Time Travel Kill Bitcoin? on: February 15, 2015, 12:09:43 PM
Sure, time travel could kill. Imagine I could go back to the time when your mom was a teenager, and drive over her with a truck. You'd be no more.
2509  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: business idea on: February 15, 2015, 12:00:15 PM

Excellent example!

Now, let's check prices:

https://www.bitcoinbon.at sells BTC for €238

whereas

https://www.bitcoin.de (famous German exchange) sells them for €222.

The difference is for the convenience of buying at a shop, and paying cash.

2510  Economy / Economics / Re: Anybody else notice trading volume is up by 7x for the last 30 days? on: February 15, 2015, 11:48:31 AM

Thanks for info!
Though, it's more a 2x increase than 7x increase to me, if you shave the 2 peaks.

I guess many people thought that it was a great time to buy with BTC so low. Actually, I've followed that movement, I've bought some extra BTC last month.
2511  Economy / Economics / Re: Anybody else notice trading volume is up by 7x for the last 30 days? on: February 14, 2015, 03:00:01 PM
Trading volume for last 3 weeks of January and first week of February is about 7x trading volume for the month previous to that. 

Where did you get this data?

I don't find it on blockchain.info?
2512  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google Pay to integrate Bitcoin? on: February 14, 2015, 02:56:45 PM
 Huh

Don't know what Google Pay is.
Does it compare with BTC?
2513  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many of you still believe bitcoin will free you from paying tax one day? on: February 14, 2015, 02:54:47 PM
Taxes is how the government does everything, the government system wouldn't surivve without taxes.

This is precisely, why so many people don't want to pay tax any longer. BTC isn't enough to achieve that goal, but it can certainly help.

But people don't understand that EVERYTHING they do is covered by taxes. Drive a car to the store and buy fuel, that fuel is brought to you by the government. Drive on the road, that'2s covered by taxes.

I suggest you travel around the world. There are countries without any kind of income tax, and they have roads and gas stations. From my experience, the best countries in the world, with the best equipment and the nicest people, are the countries with the lowest taxes.

Who said BTC has been designed with tax evasion in mind? Those who are successful in this game do not need BTC, even if it makes many things easier, but regular folks with 9to5 jobs will pay tax forever, and BTC won't change anything for them.

BTC makes it easier to start an undocumented, unregistered business, but few businesses and even fewer people can take advantage of that.
 

So the rich dont have to pay taxes! is tax only for the middle class and poor

No, not the rich in a general sense. It's the adventurous don't have to pay tax.


adventurious means? those who do sky diving and scuba diving?

No, that's only a few minutes of adventure.

Real adventure means choosing not to have any fixed income, nor a fixed address.
That's my way. I don't know yet in which country I'll be living this April (well, I'm hesitating between Italy and Ethiopia).
2514  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: business idea on: February 14, 2015, 02:42:50 PM
Sounds good except that you need to remove the commission for the news agent who sold the card. There's also the cost of printing that scratch card, its delivery to news agent all over the country, the cost of making the website which will enable the BTC transaction, that transaction fee and a cut for the scratch card editor to make the business profitable. So I certainly like the convenience of buying BTC cash at a nearby shop, but if I end up paying $20 to get $17 worth of BTC, I'm not sure there will be many people interested. You've lost $3. You could probably reduce that to $2, but you'll need to make a lot of volume...

2515  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should The Marijuana Industry Embrace Bitcoin? on: February 14, 2015, 12:38:23 AM
No! BTC's already suffering from having an image sometimes associated with terrorism, drugs, and various kinds of illegal or immoral activities. If we want it to go mainstream, it's got to get a cleaner image. How about BTC to finance charities which help orphans and widows? That would be better.
2516  Economy / Economics / Re: EUR might drop below USD on: February 14, 2015, 12:29:39 AM
Whats sure is Greece will never come back to 2004 years and Spain will never come back to 2006 years. The future is poor.

Spain is on its way to a nice recovery, it's really bouncing back. I just hope Greece will be kicked out as an example. If Greece succeeds in getting new loans, that will kill all reforms in Spain, Italy or France. It will be back to the old days of ever growing deficits and inflation. Only BTC will gain from it, but I'm not sure I want that, as there will be so much painful side effects if the Euro goes down.
2517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin For Flight Tickets? on: February 13, 2015, 06:16:15 PM
All right, thanks a lot! This is getting useful.

3 companies to buy flight tickets with BTC:

http://www.sky-tours.com/
https://btctrip.com/
https://www.cheapair.com/

Back to Expedia, I'm afraid their service doesn't accept BTC in Europe.

2518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin For Flight Tickets? on: February 13, 2015, 12:40:53 PM
Could anyone please post a link to the webpage of the airline company where it is actually possible to pay with BTC. Thanks a lot.

I don't want to spoil the party, but Expedia does not accept BTC (no difference for flights or hotels, at least in Europe), nor does British Airways, Easyjet, Ryanair, KLM or any company I've traveled with recently.
2519  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Here's why bitcoin will be bigger than the internet on: February 12, 2015, 11:47:47 PM
Hey, BTC sits on the Internet. It wouldn't exist without it.
2520  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not gold on: February 12, 2015, 11:46:36 PM
I don't compare gold with BTC. You just cannot compare something physical, metallic and shiny, which you have to hide, with something digital, which you can move anywhere with a click.
