3841  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / 111.5M Super Bowl viewers didn't see the Bitcoin-themed banner, but... on: February 04, 2014, 07:32:19 AM
...they were able to see 100's of other banners even though they were supposed to me confiscated by the NSA, like our's was, to protect the fans from themselves.

Wait till next year!

3842  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hedge fund boss: Bitcoin over gold? Are you kidding? on: February 04, 2014, 07:08:54 AM
The author has this on his wikipedia page: "Fortune described Singer as "a passionate defender of the 1% and a rising Republican power broker"."

Is it any wonder that he's singing the tune that supports his chosen team? The fact is that, if I remember correctly, he's a big pusher of gold paper. Not physical gold, but paper that says you have some interest in gold. Gold is sliding and his butt's a puckerin' because he's been pushing that paper for a long time.

The fact is that the 1% can jump in on Bitcoin at any time (and many probably already have) so he can say what ever he wants (or what ever he's being paid to say). His clients are still going to have their own brains and can tell the difference between a useable currency and something that sits burried in basements and vaults for that day when the SHTF and they suddenly realize that gold sucks as a currency.  When the SHTF in reality, medicine, munitions and munchies will be more valuable than gold.  But, in the mean time, a lot of people will get ripped off by these pitch men and their 'mainstream platforms'. (Remember how hard Glenn Beck was pitching gold on his show?  Yeah, that turned out to be a company that was ripping off little old ladies. Something you really can't do with bitcoin.)



Bitcoin goes mainstream.
Bitcoin readily available to everybody with a smartphone. <don't get ahead of me>
Church accepts tithes via bitcoins.
Churches asks congregation for suggestions for a fund raising event.
Little old ladies suggest Bingo.
Bingo it is.
Then the Bitcoins-Accepted-Here gold plated plate is passed from pew to pew.



"According to their ability they gave to the treasury for the work 61,000 gold drachmas and 5,000 silver minas and 100 priestly garments and some satoshis."

For all the BTCitcoin gambling addicts and enthusiasts!
I need your advice on what is the best online BTCitcoin Poker Casino, preferably Texas Hold'em, my buddy Justin Zaki (pretty good player) wants to test out the Poker online within the BTCitcoin realm of gambling!

Has anyone else noticed that SatoshiDICE the blockchains wallet->send BTC tab offers a videcasino and SatoshiDICE directly on the page but every other day its different and if its not accessible directly off the send BTC tab within the Blockchain wallet then it will direct you to some random sketch site, I saw that it says you cannot gamble from within the US due to their regulations, what makes this different from the other online casinos etc! Let me know
^^(posting a donation address if providing great advice is recommended!)^^

If anyone has any other recommendations towards a great place to gamble with BTC through blackjack and poker!

So far I have seen

Thanks in advance!
http://sealswithclubs.eu/ is pretty popular. Smiley

I concur about SWC being popular. I like Bryan, but please do your due diligence prior to joining any gambling site.

Apologies for being vague, but if I had anything negative to say about any site, sans betsofbitco.in's last April's fiasco, I would surely say it.

Hope this helps.

Quite frankly, I'm tired of working for you, ergo I quit... after I post the image of the cover.



There! I quit! And, BTW, your wife gives terrible blow jobs, even after I shown her how to do it--TWICE!

3846  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: ALL SET! A Bitcoin-themed banner WILL be present at Super Bowl XLVIII. on: February 04, 2014, 04:40:11 AM
So can we finally get the picture of the banner? I'd love to see it.

Even if the banner guy only took one in front of the stadium or while waiting in line, trying to get in, it would already be pretty cool. He said he took a picture - so make him upload it!

New topic: "The Bitcoin-themed banner that ALMOST was present at Super Bowl XLVIII."

I mean really. It would have been perfect, especially that the green team won! You mad bro?

I just PM our bitcoiner to see when we'll expect to see pics.

I did just find out that even though my banner didn't make it in, a smaller Bitcoin-themed banner was present in MetLife Stadium during Super Bowl XLVIII, albeit no images showing proof of such has made the rounds yet.

Ergo, this may not be an Epic FAIL.  Shocked Me so happy!

Bullshit. I've attended burning man twice and use bitcoin.

I was under the impression that nothing was sold or purchased during Burning Man, but guess I'm mistaken.

Next, I see Yankee/Charlie logged in yesterday.

It's not there. Read above.

The banner I'm pointing out is in the center of the following image:

Now compare:



But that's not it, for if you go here http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3676/12279020193_757b95a995_o.jpg you'll see in the larger image that this is not our banner.

First off, supposedly the banner didn't make into the stadium due to security. I simply noticed a similar sized banner, located where our guy would have been seated, blowing up the image. The banner I'm pointing out is in the center of the following image...



...blown up from this image:

Interception field goal where our banner would have been seen.



It would've probably been too small to be seen I reckon.

Odd! Noticed the banner to the left of that blue 12 banner, centered between the goal posts. This is approximately where our Bitcoiner would be seating, and it looks like to be of the same size depicting a very similar image, begging the question, did it somehow make its way in?



Compare the above with...

Epic FAIL

 you get an A+ for effort
You don't get an A for effort. You don't get shit for effort.  You only get something for success.  When did we start paying for 'fail'?  Forget that.  The next guy will actually pull it off and then he will get something.  WTF?  Did you get a trophy at your school for getting a D and trying real hard?  Fail = Fail.  No cigar.

You can't have cigars at school.

Actually, I'll have to agree with TK's sentiment, albeit I would have penned "Epic FAIL" in larger red font.

In fact, I'm going to quote his post in my thread(s) concerning this summer's race to atop Mount Everest to plant a sponsored(s) Bitcoin-theme flag.

We should all live by the adage: Out of every epic fail, there's opportunity for an epic win.

3854  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tax on mining due to soil and water conservation. on: February 03, 2014, 05:50:12 AM
This thread was inspired by another having a similar title.

We seriously should tax all miners to save the planet. Do you realize how much resources, e.g. silicon sand and water, it takes to build bitcoin miners, not to mention the extraction from the Earth for all those resistors, capacitors and diodes, possibly from third world countries exploiting the poor with its cheap labor.

Please help save the planet by supporting this noble idea.

Discuss.

~TMIBTCITW


Skrojii hits the motherlode! Earns 0.00000019 BTC a day.

nah, tax everyone who wears shoes - charge an extra 20 cent tax on all shoes sold in the world - boom problem still solved.

Shoes to only those who pay taxes and mine bitcoins at lost because it's their hobby.

Holy fuck me! You're suppose to do this shit every week? And possibly multiple times? With water and soap? I'm scared to death to read this thread, opting to just post, fearing somebody might have offered up some type of underwear changing schedule, for I'm already having a sub-par day, not able to take much more.

Plus, I felt the spot was too lame, and definitely contrived.
3857  Other / Off-topic / Looks like my uncle Helmut may pass sometime after midnight. on: February 03, 2014, 05:37:44 AM
Colonel in the US Army, and lived in Huntsville, AL, then Tennessee, he was just taken off life-support after being pumped with morphine (seriously). He's 70, six years younger than my dad, his brother. He and my dad married sisters, with Helmut divorcing and my mom passed at the age of 39 in '81.

No need to give condolences, for such is life, just like probably soon little brother'll be dead due to him coughing up foul-smelling white matter from his lungs(?) on a regular basis, chances are brought on via doing stuff that'll make Dank say, "No way would I do that shit, let alone that amount."

Overall, it's been a long and strange day.

Remember: Tomorrow's not promised.

leave it up to the surveillance/police state we live in to fuck up a good thing, this and the commercials to a lesser degree were the only reason i was watching the super bowl...

Unless I missed a commercial or two, none that I viewed gave me a chuckle. The lamest I've seen in decades, and so many repeats, all of which paying $4M for a 30 second slot to get their lameness viewed.

HAshfast has made the biggest bitcoin fraude in the history. 2013-2014 is the jear from hashfast, the biggest lieers and the lackest support? I mean support?? THere is no support. It is so bad arround there.

Actually, when Black Arrow finally goes dark, they will be the biggest, since having a dozen plus resellers in place, along with security and hosting firms continuing to accept pre-orders from investomers all based on vaporware.
3860  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: HashFast announces specs for new ASIC: 400GH/s on: February 03, 2014, 03:26:34 AM
A really big FU batch 1 customers if they're shipping batch 2, considering I haven't heard a peep about my Batch 1 order that was in the first 125 BabyJet's ordered and have not had any reply to my emails and calls about it in 10 days trying to get information on it.
They've also gone completely unresponsive to me and are ignoring all attempts at communication.

That's a shame, gmax, for this used to be my favorite thread. At least I still have Black Arrow until they, too, go totally Zeno on us, viz. that contrary to the evidence of one's senses, the belief in plurality and change is mistaken, and in particular that motion is nothing but an illusion.

To think that I was considered the nut in this thread, and it wasn't because of my hazel eyes, albeit they were used to help uncover this motley crew of crackpots.

Later, bud, with apologies for sometimes posting off-topic on this thread.
