Hello Bitlovers.

I'm making a website to promote bitcoin - and want to push the 'essentials' if life one needs to buy in order to live.

So, I'd say:

• Food
• Car Fuel
• Electirc energy to the home
• Internet Service Provider

Any other idea's ?

mtgox is the best place you can cash them out i think

why the us will want to force exchanges to close?

What would be the right investment to make a return on mining with a budget of $5k to $7k, not to make a living off but just to make a reasonable little profit? Ordo you have to spend much more? what equipment would you buy etc???

FPS for bitcoins/litecoins/virtual assets could be a good idea if done right.

I would be interested in setting up a dev team for this purpose, we can pay you with virtual shares.

Whatever asshole who got the trillion plus bailout you think they won't do their bidding again.

Forgive me sir, I am new, and literally only discovered Bitcoin a few days ago.

I heard, however, that one distributor, Avalon, have sent out their first 300 units a few days ago?  Has no-one received theirs yet?

Some people would disagree with that. But I am not one of them.

But in regards with ASIC's and electricity. I could see it working if someone had solar panels etc on their house that thus didn't get charged electricity until after a certain time. But perhaps its not going to be down to which ASIC's that puts out the most hashing power, but rather the one that can do it the most effeciently and thus save on your powerbill. Provided we will ever see one of them (And I am majorly apprehensive that we ever will.)

US to Japan hey you know them 10s of thousands of troops we have there protecting your ass well there gone if you don't ....

Hi,

I made an account to reply to this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137534.740

I did not invest in any ASICS or even mining equipment (but i have 1.6BTC )

When seeing this picture:

I wanted to say: When shipping to Europe, and especially France, Belgium, Italy and Spain, please unscrew the antenna and do not put the antenna in the package. The customs in these countries are really butthurt if they think it contains a transmitter for which a CE declaration does not exist. It's not really a problem, you can self-certify for CE, you just need someone in Europe to sign the declaration of conformity. Avalon could provide the required documents, have the receiver sign them (but he is then fully responsible for meeting the requirements), submit them to the customs, and get the package. This would add at least on month of delay for these costumers.

Also, put a CE mark on the box and on the equipment. You can still get the package if it has none (suppose you are the importer who is going to put the product on the EU market and who will put the CE mark on it), but this requires a lot of paperwork and delay.

This is a pretty large box that has a high chance of being opened by the customs if its sent by HK post or certainly if sent with EMS. DHL has little problems, since they do customs declaration in advance, and only 1:100 packages is typically opened.

BTW: This newbie rule is really stupid.

After talking to a friend that does video game design, and Google searching, it looks like I'm in way over my head. Security of people's accounts alone seems like a nightmare .
