Bumping it up, even though you don't have too many posts, 2.5 BTC for an entire year is pretty cheap, and I would think Coinabul or BFL will be one of the firsts to jump on this. Especially if you are adding the advert to your outside blog. Good way of getting people who aren't necessarily into the BTC scene to see some sort of BTC business add, and maybe get them excited.

well, BTC-E offers a BTC>Paypal service at a 4% fee, and a $200 Minimum withdrawal. Its a little bit steep, but it might be worth it not to get ripped off

https://www.bitmit.net/en/trade/i/6183-silver-american-eagle/description

I just wanna point out in case it matters to anyone, that is a replica coin and not a real american eagle from 1916.

Its still a Real silver coin, but its not issued by the USA government and its not 90 years old.

And the silver coin from 1878 - 1921 was the Silver Morgan Dollar.

I'm not saying its fake or anything Im just pointing out the coin information


Yes, it is a remake as you can tell by the back where it says "Sunshine Mint"

thanks, good point there.

Yes let's make fun of someone for not speaking English as a first language. Hilarious.

If you say its not a tiny bit amusing, you are lying. There's a difference between poking a bit of fun at bad wording due to translation errors, etc, and being a jerk about it.

English isn't necessarily my first language either, kind of learned it at the same time as Portuguese (because of the area I was in) and I started learning Spanish/German when I was a very young as well.

"Is a bitcoin can be divided with more than 8 zeros or not??"

You can't divide by a single zero, so I don't know how you would divide by eight zeros.

3569  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] Will LTC block halving happen in 1 year? on: September 16, 2012, 10:10:57 PM
Its a pretty simple concept that doesn't require any math at all. Throw a huge amount of mining power at the coin, stop mining until the difficulty decreases again, rinse and repeat. Difficulty drops to a level where the added strength makes a huge impact, difficulty rises, people stop mining, difficulty drops, repeat. Its a Possible outcome. I didn't say I was 100% certain, I believe I said, I'd give it a 75% chance, as I'm sure that this could happen. Whether or not it does has to do with a lot of outside factors.

I'll vote when you add a "Its possible" or "It could happen" option.
3570  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [POLL] Will LTC block halving happen in 1 year? on: September 16, 2012, 10:03:32 PM
*Could happen in 1 year with the possibility of a large portion of the GPU BTC miners switching to LTC with the impending ASICS*

I say its possible, because with LTC difficulty being recalculated so quickly, you could throw a huge amount of mining power all at once, the difficulty wouldn't adjust until a large amount of blocks were mined quickly, and then everyone could go off and mine some other type of coin while they are waiting for the LTC difficulty to fall so they could repeat.

You know, I had a good friend once tell me some voodoo nonsense about if you believe that you have already done something, or believe that something has already happened, and are assured that it will happen, just assume it will, and it will. Of course, I called him stupid at the time. It was back in our schooling days, and it was in the middle Fall, we were months from the possibility of a snow day, and he just started babbling about how glad he was that there was no school tomorrow. He explained what I said above, and I scoffed at the notion and gave him a lecture about how the world didn't work that way. You can't just hope or wish for anything, as it will never come true unless you provide some sort of effort to have it happen. The next day, as I got ready for school, I got the automatic phone call saying that school was closed. A squirrel had touched the power lines and blew the transformer, so the school was without power. Since that day, I don't doubt voodoo magic.

3573  Economy / Goods / Re: I'll accept BTC for these (six silver coins) on: September 16, 2012, 08:00:37 PM
Wouldn't buying them on Ebay, and then not paying via ebay, and doing the transaction via BTC be a very bad idea? Lots of room for abuse, shipping fiasco, etc. Not to mention coins tend to sell for an extra 10% or higher premium on Ebay, just to cover the Ebay/PP Fees.

If they went at a price I was comfortable with, I'd either pay the bid in PP, or I'd offer 85% of Gox value in BTC. You are going to lose 3.4% to Paypal + 9% to Ebay.

I'm not sure what map you are looking at, but http://www.weusecoins.com/globe-bitcoin/ shows differently.

After looking at that map, I'm not hell bent on becoming the first node from Antarctica.

and to answer the OP, well, what else is there to do in Russia?

Very nice, I suppose you can remind me in 3 days. If you have others that aren't yet for sale on Bitmit, let me know and maybe we can work out something without having to wait a week.

Hmm evidently it was not clear that it is in the context of running an accounting/inventory system (server) that I want to avoid having anything to do with fiat. Killing people* to loot their corpses for coins the local magic-shop will sell you magic wands for just seems a whole lot less fraught with regulations than does killing people* to loot their fiat currency.

(* By "people", I of course here mean "people's characters/avatars in the virtual environment presented by their computer".)

Similarly, playing poker with a bunch of ogres and goblins to win coins to buy magic wands with seems also less fraught with regulations.

Being a magic-wand transmitter or even a coupons for buying magic wands transmitter seems to have less regulations around it than being a "money transmitter" in a context where what is meant by "money" is "fiat money".

Even merely offering any player who manages to accumulate a certain number of wand-tokens an ounce of real physical silver delivered to them via snail-mail might have regulations around it in some jurisdictions on the planet known as Earth...

I'm actually pretty lost by what you are talking about, but I think I have an idea? I mention in my contract, and I quote " I will be shipping
from the U.S, so please look into local laws, and be prepared to pay any
applicable taxes or fees imposed by your country at customs should they decide fit." Under the Shipping Cont. section. I believe most of the people that use the bitcoin forums are responsible enough to know how to do a Google search to make sure they wont be getting someone knocking at the door because they claimed something illegally. And in case they aren't, that's why I put that into the contract as a liability waiver. I don't really want to just save my ass, I want to remind people to act responsibly. Cryptocurrencies are about freedom, but keep in mind, your 100,000 BTC won't do you much good in prison. (Although I highly doubt you could go to prison for receiving an ounce or two of silver in the mail)
3579  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Payment Not Delivered by "R-" for Work Rendered on: September 16, 2012, 02:05:31 AM
So did you ever get paid Mush? See, she took a loan from me for 10 BTC, and she said she would have paid me back a long time ago, but she never got paid for some work. Now due to the terms of our loan that we set as a joke at the time, she now owes me 1.8 Million BTC, as we set the terms that 200% interest would compound daily after our initial 1 month agreement.

So... if Mush doesn't get her BTC soon, I'm going to have to break her other leg. And trust me, she doesn't need any more deformities. R, could you live with yourself knowing that you are making some poor hideous woman even more hideous as she falls deeper and deeper into debt?

BTW, Mush, it will be 3.6 Million BTC owed in 1 hour and 20 minutes, so you better hurry the hell up.


also, hopefully by now, people have realized that I was joking. About the money anyway. I'm serious about having to break her other leg, and the ugly part though

Well, he got a scammer tag, I never got paid back and now I'm going to lose one of my legs...

Well, you will still owe me 7.2 Million BTC in 1 hour and 55 minutes. And I will steal your cat.
3580  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [LTC-GLOBAL] Litecoin Silver Mutual Fund on: September 16, 2012, 01:15:03 AM
Your focus seems somewhat self-defeating in a way then, because if litecoin does in fact follow in botcoin's footsteps, becoming such a reliable long term growth of value asset that it outpaces silver, it seems rreasonable to think your success in accomplishing that will also result in lack of interest in your offering.

Thus to me it makes more sense to offer a silver asset to a panoply of all the currencies aka assets that happen at the time to not yet have reached that point where they are outpacing silver.

My primary problem with holding physical silver myself is I am worried that, due to its long history as a form of money in much of the world, it might turn out to be as fraught with ghastly legal minefields/regulations as fiat, making all the effort of avoiding having anything to do with fiat moot. (I do not want to deal with the stuff if it is so close to fiat itself that dealing with it is as much of a can of worms as dealing with fiat is.)

-MarkM-


Well, litecoin will never be as valuable as Bitcoins, no one thinks it will, because that's not how it was designed. Bitcoins are supposed to be the dollars in transactions, and Litecoins the quarters. Now I'm not saying that Silver is 100% the best investment, hell if Litecoin does well, you would probably be best off taking 10,000 LTC, and just holding them until they are worth something. Imagine if you had done that with Bitcoins, and if you don't have to imagine, well feel free to share some of the $100K you rich bastard 1Bqj9TndxJKiHJVf98vyoaQ9uEeWQuSJMw .The problem there lies, will they be worth something if you don't use them? If Litecoin turns out to outpace silver, so be it. My asset will die, people will get their silver, and that will be the end of it. But, I still accomplished my goal of helping to create a stable market for LTC, so no matter what, its a win win situation.

I'm not so much worried about the regulations that will be places on Silver. It has been a while since it has been accepted as a currency (in the U.S anyway) so at this point and time, it is a commodity. There are already regulations on precious metals, there are regulations on trading salt I'm sure, but Precious metals are tied a lot closer to Cryptocurrencies than fiat. Before Cryptocurrencies, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Paladium where how people that were paranoid that the fiat monetary system would fail would invest. They still do. And there are still the people that are hoarding Precious metals for the Apocalypse, because what good will Bitcoins be without any electricity?

Anyone here that says they avoid fiat is full of carp, I'm assuming the majority of the people on these forums work a regular job, they have a house payment, car payment, whatever. And until you can pay off your house in Bitcoins, Cryptocurrency users will still use fiat currencies. When you go to a store, and buy something, do you just stare at the $20 bill you pulled out of your pocket, and stare at it loathingly? I sure hope not. What I'm trying to say is, there's nothing wrong with fiat currency, its just an opinion that many of us hold is that investing in non fiat measures is a good idea.
