People are protecting their money with their FaceBook passwords. Nothing mysterious about it.

Phone service. It seems such a natural fit. I know I can use a bill pay service for a fee, but I would like to directly pre-pay for my phone service.

https://www.mobileshop.ph/ for top up worldwide.
Hey thanks Elwar! That looks good and they had the service I use. I could not get it to work just now, I'll have to play with it later.

you fail to understand that the ctrl+p team are at work in most countries to get you poorers to get your daughters easier.
(or your wife, even if you are sectary of the defense of the American United States).

edit: use what you want, I don't care.
You must be right. I haven't a clue what a Ctrl+P team is. Do they print things?

I didn't read her thing. But It is true that many of the people who are joining DASCH stat that money is a big reason. DASCH pays more than any other group in Syria. It is about $1K per month. That is a lot considering the 30%+ unemployment throughout the region. Not sure how long they can keep it up though. I see that their affiliate in Afghanistan is only offering $500.

You can also see the effect of this by going to places where unemployment is not an issue. In Oman I feel like the Jihad is million miles away. They have few insurgents there because everyone is busy making money. Even village by village you can predict how much support for DASCH is there by how poor the people are. Not that jobs are "the" issue. But 18, disenfranchised, and unemployed is a dangerous combination.

please stop with dash shit, it is ISIS. Using the word of the tongue man leads me to believe that you work for the tongue man. otherwise your post is interesting but you are too weak to admit that as long as the Fracturing of the Ummah perdures Isreal is safe, then all bets are off. they know, now you know.

I use DASCH because there is no longer an organization called ISIS. This is why I also no longer use U.S.S.R. I don't even get your point since the term ISIS was their creation also.

Let me answer your second question by answering your first. The reason many people request micro-loans is because they are criminals who want money. Surprisingly, some people do loan out their money and guess what happens? The loaner then discovers that there is absolutely nothing that can be done to recover the money. The police have never helped anyone with this, PayPal or other money service brokers are going to laugh at any claim.

So can you get a loan? NO. Why would you even want that? You are paying a super high premium for your BTC with a loan. There is no rule against loans, but you may receive negative feedback for even asking.
If you want a legitimate loan in BTC you will need to arrange escrow and provide collateral greater than the value of the loan. Just like at the bank except it will cost you more.

Ok, I give up. On behalf of the American people I welcome your tyrannical rule. What do we do now?

I wait for the surrender of Potus. Naked, like a beast in his garden, watched by all, for starter.

Whatever you want my lord. I am eager to become a ward of the new state.  Cheesy

Who do I talk to about the pot-hole in the street in front of my house? And where can I get some new food stamps?

Do you know Osama-bin-laden was once in CIA in 1980's Undecided
Almost correct. OBL was part of the Afghan Mujaheddin who fought against the Russians. They were given money and arms connections by the CIA under Regan. Receiving money from the CIA is not the same as being in the CIA however. Lots of our enemies got this kind of money when they were our friends. Saddam Husein, several right-wing Latino groups, Iran, etc.  In the underworld you work with who you have not with who you wish you had.

The ID is not needed for bitcoin, but it is needed when you involve fiat currencies like the dollar. Coinbase is legally required to know their customers and show that they are probably not involved in criminal activity.
3691  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin investment ? Cloud mining ? on: February 18, 2015, 02:59:45 PM
I would suggest using BTC rather than "investing" in bitcoin. It is not an investment and you are not likely to do anything but loose your money. You buy some bitcoin then spend it online. The way God and Satoshi meant it to be. lol

Google Glass is revolutionary.. why exactly? I can do everything it can with my smartphone, and not look like a jerk with sci fi goggles on everywhere I go. Google Glass "solved" a problem that nobody had of wearing a computer on their faces at all times.

Likewise, bitcoin doesn't solve any problems for people, and actually opens the door to many new problems and vulnerabilities. That's why it failed! Six years after its creation and it still has less users than the frequent flyer club of Kuwaiti Airlines.

You may be speaking for yourself, but not for me. Bitcoin is the cheapest, fastest, and most secure way to move money. I use it for all my online purchases and will never go back. I have gone through three shitty bank cards in the last year. They are not safe enough for me to use anymore. I have never lost a penny of BTC. I don't really care who else uses it, I use it because it has solved my problems with buying online and in foreign countries.

I don't know where you got your info about the Kuwait frequent fliers. But Tony at BitPay has like 40k in business customers and Coinbase has about the same. There must be a few hundred thousand individual users also.

Accepted by tens of thousands of businesses worldwide. Running on the largest computer network in history. Rising from pennies a few years ago to hundreds of dollars a piece... What a flop.  Roll Eyes

Saudi Arabia Calls Chapel Hill Killings A “Terrorist” Attack…


Typical ignorance. I do mention how Americans misunderstand the Muslim world a lot. That should not imply that your average villager in the Mid East is much better. There are all manor of conspiracy theories and crackpot ideas on the street. My favorites are about the pope. He is always being placed in Syria, secretly fighting for the Vatican/CIA. The pope? lol


I don't think this is ignorance. They are just trying to use it to deflect some attention from the action of their "brothers".
Brothers? You have a lot to learn about the middle east. I spend a lot of time there and DASCH s absolutely hated in the mid-east. Thinking they have much in common with the Jihadists is like saying "Oh, your an American. Then you must be a cowboy!".

3697  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Transaction fees need to be $10+ in order for Bitcoin to survive" on: February 17, 2015, 07:01:18 PM
If bitcoin costs $10 to transfer then it is not going to be used by anyone. This will not happen because the market will not pay that much. Maybe miners want a $10 dollar bill, but they will always receive the lowest competitive price for a Tx. If they wont take that then another miner will.

The Bible is a record; it has not changed much if any over thousands of years; it could not have come together the way it did (probability)

This is false. There are many different bibles available, each with slightly different wording and events.

Absolutely. The Roman Bible we know today may be unrecognizable to ancient Christians. There are perhaps a hundred gospels that did not make the official government Bible of Rome. I have sat in the room in Ephesus where they debated the stories and chose those that best reflected Roman sensibilities. They were much less interested in what Christians believed or thought than making a holy book that was acceptable to Rome's many polytheists.

Welcome fellow bitcoin peer! We love people who want to help.

Congradulations on the enguagement. But no need to "cash out". You have the best cash when you have bitcoin and you could just buy a ring with that. Look:

My guess...
Google glass is a silly idea and no one want to wear a silly idea on their face. Bitcoin is the most significant development in payments since at least the credit card. Silly ideas that have some utility need marketing and hand holding. Brilliant ideas that offer utility and require nothing in return can't be stopped. I am shocked at how fast bitcoin is being adopted. A few years ago I thought it would take 10 years before any major company would take them.
