I am constantly trolled, not matter what website I go to.
Ignore the trolls and try going here.

That book kind of has a "How to Live Free in an Un-Free World" tone to it.  That's not good nor bad- it just reminded me of it as I was reading.

PM sent!


I'll take it if he doesn't ^

Full asking price. No escrow, Oregon, USA.

-Dave

Based on the times of PM's and posts, you're third in line, but I'll let you know if the first two don't work out.  And what do you mean by no escrow?  You'll send first?  Or you want me to send first?  Just so I'm not wasting your time, I'll let you know right now that I do not ever send first.  Escrow or you send first.  Sorry, but it's a no-exceptions policy for me.


I'm interested as well.

Got your PM, reply sent.  4th in line I'm afraid.  Sorry :-(


Sent him a PM at June 23, 2013, 01:52:30 PM (EDT), no response.

Dude it's been a day.  Seriously!?


EDIT:  Closed.  Will PM everybody if it doesn't work out and the phone becomes available again.

Closed.  User Fassade has paid for it and I will be shipping tonight or tomorrow.  If somehow something bad happens and I am forced to return his money and the trade is cancelled, I will PM the people who have posted and PM'd me.  Thank you all for your interest!

Selling my Nexus 4 because I got a Galaxy S4.  It's the 8gb version.

Also included will be the Slimport attachment to output to HDMI video-- I've used this, it works.  And obv I'll include a microusb cable and a USA two-prong power adapter for the usb cable.

Right now, it's in stock condition, but I can root it and put in a rom and recovery if you really don't want to do that yourself.  Just let me know.

My asking price is 1.5 bitcoins, OBO (or best offer), and all offers will be considered- just PM me.  (I'll pay for shipping if in the USA.)

The phone really is in perfect conidition.

You must be willing to use an escrow agent, or the key multiplier feature in casasciu's bitcoin utility program for faux-escrow, or you can simply send the bitcoins first.

See my sig for my #bitcoin-otc trust ratings.  I also have three reviews in the honest traders thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=484.msg2187380#msg2187380

Please PM me (or post in this thread) if you are interested.  I'm flexible on everything, so if you are interested, just message me and we can work it out.

It's awesome.  I'm signed up for the second class, but I never get into it.  I think it's because I incompleted the first class.  As soon as I could download all the videos and homeworks I just grabbed everything and never went back.  :-(  Guess I need to re-take it.

It's definitely dry, but it's still REALLY good.  And you get a very solid foundation on crypto, with specific programming implementations.

I'm sorry, but it would be grossly unethical of me to sign you up for a contract when you've indicated to me you're just trying to game the system.
Did a guy from a phone store actually say that?

He said that word for word, dead serious.  I was ready to fucking clock him.

.

The s4 is a POS anyways, get the HTC One instead, even better wait until HTC One releases a Nexus version then you can build your own O/S build for it.

Seriously, the s4 under sunlight is completely invisible. It's also incredibly laggy with all the junk and 'touchwhiz' garbage Samsung preloads on it. Unless you rip all that out and use it only indoors you are walking around with a brick.


I actually specifically chose the S4 for its specs.  I outlined a while back everything my ideal phone would have, and the S4 is the first phone to meet every single requirement.  The screen being a bit dim in the sun doesn't really bother me, nor is the bloatware a problem since I've already wiped it clean.  There is a bit of a minor annoyance which is that the system files are actually on a separate partition, which is 8gb in the 32gb model, so even though while rooted, I can technically utilize the leftover space for storage, it's not actually the data partition, so it's not very useful for anything except stuff that you don't access often, like encrypted backups or something.  As of now, there's no easy method that I'm aware of to re-partition the internal drive and reclaim some of the that space, so even being completely empty with a bare bones rom, the internal drive only has 24gb usable space.  BUT that is just enough for me for things that absolutely cannot be on the external 64gb sdcard, so as much as it's kind of annoying, I am still a very happy camper, given that the phone meets every other thing I've been hoping for in a phone for the past few years.

.

Anyway, thanks for letting me rant!  Other than the process of obtaining it, I'm really happy with the phone thus far.
376  Other / Off-topic / [rant] Apparently AT&T doesn't want to sell the Galaxy S4 on: June 16, 2013, 06:36:40 AM
After figuring that it was going to be too long of a wait for the 64gb version, and having saved up and planned for a top quality phone with a lot of storage space, I decided the 32gb version of the i9505 Galaxy S4 with a 64gb sdcard would be good enough, and I called some local AT&T stores.  They all had the 32gb model in stock, and they all quoted me $729 as the no-contract direct buy price.  I had planned for it to be expensive, and had ahead of time decided that $850 was my upper limit, so this new price was perfectly fine, especially when I could go get one right now today.

So I walk in the store and ask about the 32gb model, and again confirm that the purchase price is $729, and the salesman goes and gets the phone and brings it out, and I say cool I'll take it.  And he then says "I'm sorry, it's store policy that I can't sell it to you without a contract unless you buy $300 worth of merchandise in the store."  I'm taken aback by this, and ask for the store manager, who comes over and confirms that yes, this is store policy.  I ask if I can just pay more for the phone, if it's a profit margin issue.  Nope.  I ask them why don't they just sell the phone for $1000 and make that the price then if they are just going to do that.  Obviously, for advertising.

I go down the street to the next store and ask about a direct purchase and again, the guy brings out the phone, and then tells me he can't sell it to me period.  The only way to get it is with a contract.  I ask about the contract, and he tells me the phone is $250 with the contract.  I ask about the details of the contract, and get out of him that the early termination fee is $325.  I then honestly ask wouldn't people just buy the phone with a contract and then cancel the contract and get the phone for cheap?  He then -- very solemnly -- says ya that's a big problem for them right now with this phone.  I say, well shit, I really do want the phone, you guys are the only ones in the world with the 32gb model, and if the contract is the only way to get it, then I guess I'm signing up for the contract.

He then looks at me and very seriously says to me "I'm sorry, but it would be grossly unethical of me to sign you up for a contract when you've indicated to me you're just trying to game the system."

I about flip out over this.  I simply can't understand it.  If they aren't making profit margin on the phone, just charge more.  If they don't want people gaming the system, just make the early termination fee for S4 customers higher.  All I want from them is fucking HONESTY about what their products and services are so I can make an informed decision.  Instead I get told "here's the price, but oh you can't buy it" and "here's our policy, but if looks like you might actually use the legal policy, we don't want you".  I wasn't trying to to fucking undermine them-- I just wanted to know how to get the phone.  And after all their deceptions about pricing and locking me into a plan that has worse service, less data, and costs more than the month-by-month plan I currently have-- after telling me the only way to get their product is by signing up for that shit-- he then looks me straight in the eye and talks about ethics.

I didn't say any of this.  I just looked dumbfounded and left...

And went to yet a third store, since neither of the first two had gotten my name, and very casually hemmed and hawed about potentially changing services, and looking around at new phones, and finally making the "impulse buy" decision to get the 32gb phone and sign up for a contract.

I will now wait 3 weeks or so, pay my first month's bill and cancel my contract.  I've already chucked my sim card in the trash.  I'm livid about the whole thing.  I don't mind them trying to make a profit from a product or pimping their wireless contracts, but the level of bullshit I had to go through to get an honest answer was just appalling.  If you want to make money off me, great, tell me how much, and I'll decide if it's worth while.  But this deceptive bullshit just pissed me off.

Side note: apparently I've also broken the law by SIM-unlocking it.  What a goddamn motherfucking joke.  At least I finally have the fucking thing, sim-unlocked, rooted, and with a nice and loki'd custom rom.  (The bootloader hasn't been unlocked yet, but there's a bypass called loki, so any sgh-i337 model needs to have their roms "loki'd").

God fucking damn, I walked in thinking I was just another customer and this was a straightforward transaction of "I'd like to by this product you're selling."  NOPE.  AT&T has officially made my list of companies I will avoid doing business with.  What the fuck.  Why did it have to be so difficult!?

Everything is a gamble.  When you go drive somewhere, you take the risk of being struck and dying, but the payoff of going out and accomplishing your task is high enough, that combined with the very low probability of death, you view the gamble as worth while.  All life is analyzing risk and reward, and that is all that gambling is.

I was under the impression that I could relay dust by adding this in my config:

mintxfee=0.00000000
mintxrelayfee=0.00000000

but somebody told me that one or both of those could not have a value of zero.  Which one(s) can't be zero, and why?

(Pretty please I beg of you don't post about dust being bad..., I just want to know HOW to relay it if I wanted to.  I DON'T want to have a drawn out debate about the merits of doing so!)
