Too bad you can't buy a car on Amazon.
Not good for re-sale, but there are car dealerships and even a manufacturer that takes bitcoin. Here is what you can buy through Overstock's car buying service. Really any kind of car you want.

If it is easy to pay then why not request buying the bitcoin? It is about $1.25 and you need 1 week to one month. You don't have a dollar and a quarter?

2805  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your opinion of gun control? on: June 22, 2015, 05:25:54 PM


Guns are made for one purpose, and that purpose is to kill.
...
well, I guess i know your opinion. hehe
Your statement expresses a common misunderstanding about firearms. I have shot for about thirty years and have owned a lot of guns. I still shoot one to three times per week. Pistols, carbines, shotguns, rifles; I practice will all of them. BUT...  despite the belief that guns are for killing, thousands and thousands of us gun owners spend our time shooting pieces of paper with circles on them. I do not kill anything with my target guns except targets, which is what they were designed for.

Hunting is one of the many things that a gun can be used for. Hunting guns are for killing. That may offend someone. But often that person has no problem hiring a guy at a slaughterhouse to slice open the neck of a calf or blow the brains out of a pig with an air compressor. People seem to be ok with violently killing an animal, as long as it was first tortured on a feed-lot.

Then there are the guns specifically for killing people. Most citizens of the planet pay for these guns to be given to their respective military and police efforts. This is socially supported violence against other people. Again, no one seems to want to get their hands dirty. But we do want someone to violently assault certain people. People who think or act differently are historically the main targets.  

Then there is the conceal carry firearm. I am armed everyday with a gun that is for killing, but few who think guns should be banned have any clue about how it all works and the regulations involved. They see things on TV and assume they are legal. In reality the only time one can pull a firearm is To protect your life from an armed person in the act of murdering you, or someone in your immediate presence. If I so much as draw that weapon in public I could go to jail. There are no exceptions to this rule. You can't pull a gun on a thief, or a rapist raping a child in front of you.

The cop is on vacation? screw that. Call the police and tell them you are in front of "Mathew's" house and you are about to confront him. You are requesting the police be there because this is a criminal matter. Watch him pee his pants when you and a cop show up.

You can get that address with a service like this:

also, if you know the BTC has not moved yet then he will be responsible if they do move. Since you have informed him that the laptop is stolen, it would be theft to spend them now. (but never mention BTC to him)

How much is one account? I don't think I will have enough money. I just faucet money. I not going buy bitcoin because it is not stable. Can I get a free sr.member account first and pay later?
How much is one mBTC? What is martingale?

How much to buy an account. I'm not sure. The price varies depending on activity and trust rating, and perhaps age of account. I'm not sure it's really worth it though, often these are bought by scammers looking to impersonate a trusted user. The good news is you can get a free Sr. member account by posting productively and putting in the time.

A mBTC=millibitcoin=1 thousandth of a bitcoin

martingale?

2809  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Women Who Call Out God's Name During Intercourse Should Be Jailed on: June 19, 2015, 04:31:31 PM
This is sooo goofy. Extremely few people use God's name. The Jews don't because they know it is a sin. The nations don't, because they don't know it. Almost everyone else doesn't, because they just don't.

Lots of people use the word "God." This isn't God's name. God tells us what His name is in the Old Testament. Very few people know it or use it. When those who know it use it, they extremely seldomly use it carelessly, in the way that religious leaders would call using it in vain.

No woman inadvertently calls out the name of God during intercourse. Some women might say "God," but they don't call out the name of God.

Smiley
That's a good point. How do we know what God's name is being called out if she only says God? Perhaps her God likes to hear that? The pastor may have a case if she is yelling out "Oh YHVH, yeah!"

2811  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why is Bitcoin Price Surging? on: June 18, 2015, 04:51:47 PM
I wonder about the influence of the thousands of stolen coins? I assume the thieves sell the coins they take and that could radically suppress price. Perhaps one day we will wake up and find them sold out. At that point the glut of coins in the market is replaced by a low supply. A low supply relative to demand is what pushes prices. Maybe the thieves are running out of coins?
 Huh

I remember this being predicted as far back as 2010. As mentioned above, there has been a switch away from running a full node. In 2010 you HAD to run one if you wanted to use BTC. Bitcoin is becoming phone based and a full node on a phone makes little sense.
2814  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Iraq PM: We Lost 2,300 American Humvees to ISIS in Mosul Alone on: June 18, 2015, 03:19:03 PM
I don't think the peshmerga have a chance at defeating DAESH. They have won individual battles in Kurdistan, but there are not enough of them to fight in Iraq or Syria. And the YPG has been very clear that they are not fighting outside of Kurdistan.

YPG is one of the numerous Peshmerga factions. There are other larger factions, which are ready to fight the ISIS in its core heartlands. And cities such as Mosul historically belonged to the Kurdistan, although the current population is mostly composed of Sunni Arabs. The Kurds will be ready to liberate Mosul from the ISIS, and if they can do that, it will be a devastating blow for the ISIS.
I agree. Mosul will be a key fight for peshmerga troops. My concern is Baghdad, Anbar, and the south east. The Kurd political leadership keep saying that they are securing the Kurd homeland and are not  going to fight in Iraq. Perhaps that will change if we offer money, state level weapons and most importantly recognition of Kurdistan. We might as well. If we went to visit north Iraq we would see only the flags of Kurdistan, we would use Kurd money not Iraqi money, and all the maps would say Kurdistan. Only people outside of the area pretend it is still Iraq.

My other concern is the effectiveness of peshmerga fighters. Frankly, they are not very good. Their victories have been exaggerated, IMO. When I looked into their battlefield tactics their mystique diminished greatly. They use a "rolling attack" almost 100% of the time. That technique must have shocked DASEH, who are used to the enemy running away in disarray. But it is a technique that can be resisted effectively if you know its coming. So repeating the recent victories will get harder and, once the enemy has learned, will no longer work.

A rolling attack requires brave fighters and momentum. Basically they keep moving forward at all costs. It is terrifying to see such an attack coming at you, but if you keep your cool and halt the attack it tends to fall apart. At that point you sally from your positions and slaughter the attackers as they try to escape. I think the peshmerga are vulnerable to such a counterattack.  Once the attack starts they don't communicate much. If their line collapses anywhere then it's chaos.

It looks to me increasingly like only Iran is in a position to really hurt DAESH. They have enough fighters, anti armor weapons, and organization on the ground. Of course for them this is about furthering the influence of Shia Islam. What a mess.
2815  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Iraq PM: We Lost 2,300 American Humvees to ISIS in Mosul Alone on: June 18, 2015, 02:14:16 PM
In defense of those currently failing in Iraq. No one has a plan to defeat DAESH. Some say the "Peshmerga will do it!" Unfortunately they are in no way equipped to win.

Trust me. The Peshmerga is the only fighting force in Iraq right now, which is having the capability to defeat the ISIS. Neither the Iraqi army, nor the Shiite militias can take on the ISIS. If the Americans and the other NATO members are willing to provide the Peshmerga with heavy weapons, then the ISIS can be defeated in a matter of months.

I don't think the peshmerga have a chance at defeating DAESH. They have won individual battles in Kurdistan, but there are not enough of them to fight in Iraq or Syria. And the YPG has been very clear that they are not fighting outside of Kurdistan. Many forget about the country of Kurdistan because it is not on many maps. But for the Kurds it is on all maps of the region.
2816  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to withdraw money won from bitcoins to banks without suspicion on: June 17, 2015, 08:23:18 PM
I don't think your tax liability will be that much. You mentioned 50%, I have no expertise on Spanish tax law, but that sounds way too high. You likely just owe capitol gains on the appreciation in value. So the tax is not on the total, just the gain.
For example if you bought a BTC for 1Euro, then sold it for 2Euro, you owe some percentage on the Euro you gained. If you sold for 0.5Euro then you may be able to claim a loss and actually reduce your taxes.

In the U.S. capitol gains tax varies depending on your tax bracket. It could be zero or as high as 15%, for most payers. I think on average I have paid about 10%. Nobody likes to give up 10% to an entity that did nothing to earn it, but that is another issue.
2817  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to withdraw money won from bitcoins to banks without suspicion on: June 17, 2015, 04:54:45 PM
To a spanish bank to be exact. I would have asked this on the spanish section but people is not really active there. My question is simple, say for exanple you have 100 btc and you convert them ito money 20.000€ approximately, if you withdraw that to your bank you would probably have problems because its already a pretty big amount and im sure that if you do it in small amounts someone will realize after all. I could pay the taxes, yeah.. But its a really tedious thing to do specially when it comes to bitcoins and i dont really want to lose like 50% of the amount of profit im getting.

I would be more concerned about the tedium of prison life. While bitcoin is semi-anonymous your bank must account for every single Euro. You could try withdrawing in small amounts over a long period of time, but it is quite possible it will get noticed. If so you will face any back taxes + fines + court costs + possible jail time. It will consume any profit you have made and much, much more.

I don't know your tax liability in Spain, but I think you will have to pay capitol gains. The good news is that you will not have to pay VAT tax on bitcoin.

Blockchain confirmation is the fastest payment system yet. Compared to anything else 10min. is insanely fast. Credit cards and bank transfers are measured in days and weeks, not minutes. I see no issue to address at all here.

I am using windows 7 64bit, the bitcoins were in a nxt wallet and now everything seems to be saved as either a Text Document or as a Chrome HTML Document
Bitcoin cannot be in an nxt wallet. Bitcoin and NXT are two different cryptocurrencies.
I think that is your answer. You have an alt-coin, not BTC.
2820  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Serious question - Corp Coin on: June 17, 2015, 03:20:01 PM
Who are your nodes? At the core of bitcoin is a voluntary distributed network. Without this it is nothing like bitcoin.  This is why a corporate coin will not work. It would have to be a centralized currency that only works at their store. In other words, it's a coupon. 

I would never even consider using another system unless it was a decentralized, distributed network that is not tied to identity. It must work in all countries and at many outlets, and must be beyond the control of any entity. No business is going to fund such a coin as they will have no advantage using it. The war is over and bitcoin won.
