I need a license for it and the city doenst give new licenses because we have enaugh taxis.
rofl the state doesnt restrict the number of taxies in a city because it is benevolent and protecting you from the danger of having to many taxies. They do it because taxi cab drivers unionize and lobby the government in order to restrict supply. They do this because the law of supply and demand states that if you hold supply artificially low while demand remains constant it leads to higher prices (or in this case higher salaries for taxi cab drivers) No, its protected in my city because we have population of 100.000 and 75 taxis. That is quite enaugh most of them still wait 40 minutes to get a customer "Enough"? No way that's fucking enough -- that's what we call a shortage of taxis. Bravo government and unintended consequences: a man loses his job because of all the government-monopoly leverage that his employer has, while everyone else gets to wait 40 minutes for a stupid cab. |

Do you have your own car? Did you have regular customers? Bitcoin Mobile imo.
How much would it cost you to "lease" or buy a cab license? In my city, most cab drivers actually rent the cab from the cab company on a daily or weekly rate, and keep all the fares for themselves. If you can get this kind of deal, you could hang a bitcoin sign from the rear view, or some other little sign that doesn't stick to the the vehicle. Then you could compete with your former employer and accept bitcoin however you like, but it would be in your interests to let the dispatcher know that you are the one who accepts bitcoin for fares, if anyone else should call.
Its not legal in germany to "rent" or "lease" a cab license. I could just buy one. Some old guy here wants to get ~35.000 usd = 26.000€ for his license and about 5000€ for his old mercedes. I may try to get a loan from the bank to buy his license and car. But iam not sure about it. Beeing self employed is a lot of woork! But it would be cool to promote bitcoins with it. I could advertise with door covers (image -> http://www.taxiwerbung-europe.com/upload/meine_bilder/werbearten/taxi_doorcover01.jpg ) + #freemoney. Yes I have a loots of customers so I have to solve this problem quick. A lot customers call me directly on my mobile phone Be glad the market isn't as fucked by the government as it is in San Francisco. A medallion (license) goes for about 350K dollars. |

Please overread my sentences and give me a pn with a correction.
Till today I was working as a taxi driver in germany. I put some stickers up on the car windows that iam accepting bitcoins. So am i. But my boss didnt know anything about bitcoin and that iam accepting them.
Today a customer called my company and asked for the taxi that is accepting bitcoins. So everybody knows and I got fired because i did it without his permission.
I told all my customers about bitcoin and sold some of them my coins. But now iam workless because of bitcoins. that suxs.
Sue your boss for wrongful dismissal. I presume he or she did not give you a lawful notice of dismissal, and did not retain you to the end of your term. I exchanged money in his car and accepted/sold/ bitcoins. So he cant trust me anymore and thats a reason to dismissal me instant. Right now I think about to start my own taxi company. But you cant just buy a car and be a taxi. I need a license for it and the city doenst give new licenses because we have enaugh taxis. Guess I have to buy a license from someone who wants to quit his business. But its ~35.000 usd:/ It would be suuuch a high promotion for bitcoins on a taxi. This is a classic example of Government restrictions leaving a decent man without a job. |

Well, that's capitalism. Take chances, win big or lose your money.
If BFL does have ASICs, then the people who put their money on the line in pre-orders are going to have a heyday when it first gets released and the difficulty hasn't increased yet. The people who decided to wait will still have a chance to mine, but not until after the difficulty has ramped up.
If BFL doesn't have the ASICs... well. That's highly unfortunate, but hey; you're working with experimental technology that works with a relatively experimental e-currency, you have to expect that things might not turn out according to plan. Invest at your own risk.
I haven't pre-ordered (Although I gave the Jalapeno some serious thought with the low starting price), so I think I'll see how it works when the first people begin to get theirs and think about it.
I don't think BFL's behavior is capitalist, nor is this affair a capitalist affair. It depends, right? If BFL ever delivers, then this affair was only a bad investment (I'll leave it to the finance experts to figure out why). If BFL does not deliver, then this affair was an example of fraud. Fraud is not capitalism. Investments are. So the jury's still out. |

I love these threads, two more for my ignore list: FirstAscent and augustocroppo.
Hooray! I also love these threads because they cause the sociopaths to identify themselves. |

So we agree that minimum wage laws supporting a living wage are good and that business profitability is a complex issue that cannot be narrowed down to one issue like consumer demand. I would love to debate you live just to hear you shouting and ignoring my argument like you are now.
You don't have an argument. When you do, I'll respond to it. Your contention is that a free market can exist simply because it can be shown "in theory." Nope, not my argument at all. See, you can't even read, let alone compose an argument. I second this. cbeast has no argument and his behavior here demonstrates that he doesn't know how to compose an argument. I'm adding him to my ignore list since his comments contribute little value to anyone, so I'd prefer not to be annoyed by them. |

As Gavin already mentioned, the X.509 support is optional. You can create unsigned invoices. And in future, signed invoices that don't use X.509 if we can find some reasonable system.
Can GPG support be written in the standard, also as an optional feature? |

Hazek,
Well said.
I insist you come on to our radio show to discuss philosophy and organized aggression ("government"). You'd make a helluva guest.

Exactly, hence the scarequotes around the word "back".

Ignore the walkie stalkie augustocreepo. He feeds on attention. Don't feed him.
I use the ignore feature more like a downvote. I occasionally interact with people on my "shit-list," but having them on ignore gives me the option of not even seeing their drivel unless I want to, which is nice. Well, the thing is, when you interact with them, they (and possibly others) interpret your behavior as validation of their shitty conduct. Not to mention that the thread becomes about THEIR garbage, rather than the topic at hand. That's why it's superior, more effective, better on your time expenditure, to ignore them, and then making short notes warning other people not to interact with the shitheads. |

I would like to share an illustrative video of what people doing business as "government" are about: http://vimeo.com/5726046As my main man Marc here says, they are not dumb. People who manage to make millions of human beings believe that their green pieces of paper are "money" and real money (gold, silver, Bitcoin) is "funny money", people who manage to make millions of human beings cheer for mass murder and even invade other people's homes and murder them, these people are much, much smarter than you think. Jeff Garzik is preventing everyone from questioning the actions of these guys. |

Ignore the walkie stalkie augustocreepo. He feeds on attention. Don't feed him. Your life is far too valuable to be reading the garbage they spew. Simply add him to your ignore list, and then (whenever he posts on any thread you've posted) make a one-line note saying you're ignoring him because he's a provocateur / asshole / saboteur / et cetera, and inviting others to do the same.

For users with a solid positive OTC WOT rating: price is halfway between Gox bid and ask. Or state your price and we will negotiate. For users without a good OTC WOT rating: Gox high price plus 0.5%, escrow required. This is your chance to earn ratings. All trades will proceed over the OTC market, where I am registered http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=Rudd-O . PM me for details. |

Let's not stab this baby through the heart by using X.509. This would make it impossible to do pseudonymous invoicing and it's also, well, thoroughly broken (DigiNotar anyone?).

If the USD was only backed by the fact that IRS only accepts it for taxes then why do other nations use it for their reserves?
As I just said, threats of violence and ruin committed by the same rulers -- except they are genocidal-level threats to foreign people rather than individual-level threats to domestic people. |

The possibilities for ironic unintended consequences here is very high. I'd laugh when prohibiting US subjects from betting on Intrade causes Tor-hosted prediction markets to flourish, and those markets start to be used to bet on the lifespans of public figures, and somebody Jim Bells the head of the MPAA.
That's precisely what I was thinking would happen. |

The U.S. dollar is "backed" by threats of violence and ruin against anyone within the land mass called "United States" who disobeys orders given by the mobster rulers who control that land mass.

That's correct. In a competitive market you set wage = marginal product. In this case you cannot do that without going into deficit.
In a free market, the "fruit" is decided by mutual agreement. This is basic stuff. Without central coordination, mutual agreement yields poverty. Clearly I disagree with your assertion. Note how he presents absolutely no argument to prove his assertion. Thus we can dismiss what he's saying as either an unfounded opinion or a baseless claim. Which is in line with what cunticula usually does. |
