For actually doing something instead of asking for donations, I am now working with the Manchester City Council Trading Standards Office regarding CPC. Anyone who can offer additional information or if there is a victim here (because according to their wallet there is at least one by now) please contact P.Minshaw@manchester.gov.uk referencing complaint # 047774

Might have more luck finding a buyer if you could find a way to get rid of that muck on the screen. Maybe try one of those ultrasound cleaners they use for glasses?

I stand corrected. I just looked it up and it is only the national central banks that will take the note out of circulation in the EU.

If you're going to the trouble of photoshopping this at least make sure you name the supposed author correctly. It's Petzold.

That's cute and all, but the note will be taken out of circulation as soon as it reaches the first bank. So the lifespan of the note after you spend it is about a day.

I know. I forgot the "n" between "a" and "economy". But English is only my third language so that happens from time to time.

Exactly.

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' We rejected those answers; instead, we chose something different. We chose the impossible.  

Imagine, an economy where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the heat of your rig, Bitcoin can become your economy as well.

No, one for each TRANSACTION.

No, it's analogous to a lottery where you have more tickets when you have more hashing power.

I think there's a Magic the Gathering Online Exchange that deals in Bitcoin.

Only at gunpoint. 








Oh... Well.... 

It's doubtful that anyone will be able to hold the entire blockchain at some point in the future, should Bitcoin become a mainstream thing.

Here's some interesting data (from 2006 only for the US)

Average daily number of transactions:
- 60 Million credit card transactions
- 100 Million Interbank ATM transactions
- 60 Million ACH transactions
- 15 Million SWIFT transactions
- 365.000 CHIPS transactions
- 521.000 FEDwire transactions
- 700.000 CLS transactions

So that's a cool 237 Million daily transactions, in the US alone, excluding cash transactions.

Let's assume a conservative average of 3 daily cash transactions per person (buying the paper, a hotdog and a pack of smokes). That adds a cool 1000 Million transactions for the US alone right there.

Yeah. Better go grab a YottaByte HD real quick.

I wonder if he knows the Chinese New Year is not only a big deal in China.

Huh, this works pretty well

This one's actually brilliant in it's subversiveness. I  wonder how many BFL customers realize it's actually insulting them.

It's fear. Pure and utter fear.

What a coincidence.
