41  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2013-06-16 SALON - Could Bitcoin become the official currency of Kenya? on: June 18, 2013, 06:35:46 AM
That would be amazing if it became a whole country's currency.

You should offer a small profit like $110 or its not worth anyone exchanging.
43  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: One cryptocurrency: Why not jump on board? on: June 18, 2013, 06:31:25 AM
Why are people investing in so many seemingly useless cryptocoins?
Why not jump on board on on coin, BQC for example and make the prices surge?
It's pointless to spread out the investments so much when you could put it on one coin and have it surge.
Look at what happened to bitcoin!

Are you saying that diversifying your investments is a bad thing?  Roll Eyes
That's not it but look at the amount of worthless namecoins that are just for creators to make money. If it was all centralised at bitcoin and litecoin it would be fine.

Thanks that could have lead to some problems, for many here.
45  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: xboxgames SCAMMED ME FOR 5BTC! on: June 18, 2013, 06:24:10 AM
$800 right there. He might be the sort of person to go on a scamming spree and grab as much as he can before he is stopped, and it looks like he might make it to a grand...
46  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mule paypal accounts on: June 18, 2013, 06:21:57 AM
I have been doing this for a while, I am also aware of cookies and avoid that. I have done it with exchanges over $100. xboxgames if the mule account is closed before the chargeback they can't request the account to verify itself. Maybe if this was being done with thousands of dollars paypal would intervene but with small transactions like a bitcoin deal I think it works fine.
47  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen. on: June 18, 2013, 06:15:40 AM
Since then bitcoin has gone up, now at $100 a coin. But if something like government regulation/tax comes in the value can drop down a lot.
48  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do if governments try to take away your bitcoin? on: June 18, 2013, 06:13:15 AM
I read another topic the US financials said they won't be regulating crytocurrency, specifically bitcoin.
49  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PWC is killed by 51% attack on: June 18, 2013, 06:07:05 AM
we could learn from this to further the safety of other coins - namely BTC, LTC and PPC, which are so far only currencies which make any sense
Yeah pretty much.
50  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: List of all cryptocoins on: June 18, 2013, 06:04:27 AM
Interesting read but I don't see the point in all these clone currencies. Bitcoin and maybe litecoin is all thats needed.
51  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: wtb btc on: June 18, 2013, 05:58:27 AM
You're lucky someone made a deal with you, I'm finding it hard to buy mine with paypal.
52  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: To get mass adoption we need to sort out these decimals on: June 17, 2013, 05:43:11 PM
This would be useful, but any intelligent person can handle decimals.



Have you been to an average supermarket yet?

Indeed. And it's not just a matter of intelligence (assuming we can agree on a definition) it's also a visual issue. Sometimes it's easy to miscount the leading zeros which means people go to extra effort to have to count. This can lead to people overpaying for something like a coffee by a factor of 10. This leads to anxiety at the moment of purchase.

I am basing this on some informal usability testing I have done with friends and family.
True but it's easier to note 0s than remember six different names for these amounts like microbitcoins and centibitcoins. In America there is dollars and cents, it would be a lot harder if there were four other types.
53  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is Memory on: June 17, 2013, 05:40:02 PM
That is interesting but worst case is people will just have to use it in secret.
54  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do if governments try to take away your bitcoin? on: June 17, 2013, 05:38:01 PM
LOL...An attempt would be hilarious
That actually would be funny to see them demand everyone give them their bitcoins.
55  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Read! (US Gov & Bitcoin) on: June 17, 2013, 05:36:00 PM
That is very good news that bitcoin isn't going to be locked down.
56  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where can I exchange UKash for Bitcoin? on: June 17, 2013, 05:33:36 PM
Previously I used to deposit about £100 at a time, and I think the limits were the same as Paysafecard is currently, but it's suddenly gone down to £60 (per 24 hours) and £180 (per 30 days) max.
The more transactions and the longer your account exists means the more you can do. After a month you can move considerably more.
57  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mule paypal accounts on: June 17, 2013, 05:23:51 PM
You can open up a VPN and make a new unverified paypal account, confirm the email so it can send and receive money. Ask the trader to send the paypal money to you, then send it to your main paypal and close the mule account. If they chargeback/scam it doesn't effect your main paypal, paypal probably just have to either deny the refund request or take the charges themselves.
58  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do we want to work with money regulators, or keep Bitcoin unregulated? on: June 17, 2013, 04:19:29 PM
I would not like to work with regulators because that means verifications, taxes, general disability when using BTC. Bitcoin is decentralised and can't be regulated. The governments can attack the big exchangers but they can't stop every individual using bitcoin.
59  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where can I exchange UKash for Bitcoin? on: June 17, 2013, 04:16:02 PM
Is it just me, or has Virwox started to impose a restriction for Ukash vouchers?

I can only deposit upto 60 GBP or equivalent in EUR/USD... previously I think the limit was 200 GBP. The change seems to have happened without warning.

Apart from Bitcoin Nordic and their complicated way to fund Ukash (via CashU first, commissions each time), are there any alternatives?
Yes virwox has ukash disabled at the moment. The limits raise the more transactions you do and the longer you are a member, there is a table showing it on their site somewhere.

No, she didn't get any other "offer" she just thought it wouldn't work out between us. There wasn't even a date..

The best pussy is the one that lets you pound it.
That one who dumped you obviously isn't the best you can get Cheesy
Now... that just isn't true.
