They still don't accept Bitcoin donations, and looked at me gunny, as in "What's that?" when I asked. I still have that money people donated to the 1RP2o12 Bitcoin address, too.
I can't imagine a scenario where they don't just sell it for USD. FEC requires they collect info on donors. Could be cashed & donated by one person... probably illegal to take the funds of everyone and lump it into one individual donation, though.

It is a crunchy granola with plenty of nuts, seeds, and other healthy things.  There are lots of large chunks so it is easy to eat as a snack.  You can taste the honey and brown sugar, but it is subtle.  Mostly you taste the nuts and things.  Once we started eating it, we just kept going back to it.  "Strangely addicting" was my wife's comment.
I agree with this completely! "Strangely addicting", indeed. I like how there are large bar-like chunks. It's so easy to eat that you just feel like grabbing one more piece. I ate 1/2 lb of the stuff over 15 minutes before I forced myself to stop!

As for one of my friends, who consumes far more granola than I, he said that he could really taste the honey, and he enjoyed the natural flavor (I purposely didn't tell him much about it at first so I could get the best feedback). He didn't like how it crumbled in his mouth (not much you could/should do about that), but more importantly, he said that it "lacked a distinct flavor". Overall, however, he enjoyed it very much.
I'm thinking we could try molasses. Someone else was requesting a similarly distinct flavor, stronger brown sugar flavor, butter, & raisins. No reason we can't modify what we're doing.

Crumbling we can fix, too. We can adjust bake time so it's softer (might have a lesser shelf life, and honey may taste less "mellow," but all the nuts, seeds, oats are roasted once prior to the second bake, so they shouldn't have any type of raw taste), or crispier if wanted.


Thank you, Maged.  Smiley
4325  Economy / Lending / Seeking $50k "Mini-Mortgage" (in USD) on: March 28, 2012, 12:31:16 PM
I can offer the new house as collateral, half of house which isn't selling quickly (see link in sig) as collateral, and >2.2k BTC collateral (I get to retain control of coins unless I default -- most of the coins are tied up in investments I can quickly and easily pull them out of). I'll pay $35k on the house, which would effectively be pocketed by the lender in case of default. Neither I nor my wife can tolerate living at my mom's house any longer (though it's not because she's a bad person or anything).

I'm expecting to get the house between $78k and $88k. It's worth significantly more, but is located in the middle of nowhere, so has a tough time selling. I have no legally verifiable income. Paying the mortgage off in a timely manner (within a year) is almost entirely dependent on the house in Erie selling.

With the loan, of course, you'd get plenty of ID verification, and a proper promissory note. If there's any interest, I'd like to get the loan @ 3.8% APY, .3167% monthly (or, $158.33 per month). I believe that rate is justified by my good credit score, how much the lender stands to gain in case I default, and due to the loan likely not tying up your funds for more than a year. Upon full repayment of the loan, I will pay the lender an additional $500. All noted & additional terms are negotiable.


It's possible (though unlikely) I won't need this loan. Going to try negotiating directly with the bank. They'd have a lot to gain and really nothing to lose if they were able to finance my purchase of their house (it's a short-sale).

If you are seriously interested, please PM me. Cheers!

 be cautious.


Its obvious hes talking about Goat, and this thread is bullshit. You should never post a scamming accusation unless you have solid proof AND your willing to provide it in your thread. If this were the real world - you could be charged with slander / defamation of character and you would deserve it.

I thought this was the real world?
Good point. HorseRider, I charge you with slander and baseless defamation of Fussy Prick's character. Cognitive and whatever else was in your signature are now in my Tier 3 mental shit-list (above being Atlas, but below typing "rediculous" or "withdrawl").

Carry on.

Cognitive is Garr255's thing and BTCSYN is BTC Syndicate, both of them have nothing to do with HorseRider, so I don't really think that's fair. Unless I'm wrong in which case, please carry on with the mental shit-list Smiley
Good point. I'm unfamiliar with BTCSYN, so it remains. Garr's alright by me, so that's struck from the list. Horses are also added to the shitlist.

Horses are shit. Anyone who rides horses, eats horses, has relations with horses, and/or owns horses is a complete fool.

He is a donator to make you trust him
He borrows a lot of money from this forum.
He promised high rate of return. And lots of people get paid. you trust him more. he is popular now. like Mr. Ponzi trusted by New York people.
He suggest that he has high social value by using an avtar with a sexy woman lean to a man.
He runs tons of projects, which are profitable.
He is telling you that he knows lots of big big people.
He sometimes say that the interest is not guaranteed but since you're not idiot you must know it must be high though not guaranteed.
He lives in a very exotic country.

lol books. Gold, guns (though very limited), games already covered.

I'll third (fourth?) tools. Wouldn't mind a 4WD Toyota-War-quality truck, either. More food would be nice, too. Not just buying stuff off Amazon and reselling, but real home-made food. Constant demand, surprisingly weak supply. Usually inexpensive stuff - allows for the novelty of the purchase to entice consumers. I've been banging on for a while about not being able to buy fontina made from someone in the community.

I also would like extremely cheap greenhouse kits (should last at least three years with 8+ feet of snow falling on it annually and can be fairly easily repaired - don't need goofy shit like solar vent-openers), interesting seeds (Russian Dandelion & turmeric, for instance), and home-brewed ginger ale.

Stuff like from that fellow who put together his own laser and is now selling it. Recently pre-ordered FPGAs from a fellow. That kind of shit's cool. I can't go to Walmart to pick up that kind of stuff. I don't need a screwdriver, television, cell-phone made by some sorry sap earning 1/20th what he ought to in scrip -- I need to see some passion, goddammit!

Don't see it holding 5lbs. Should be able to hold 3lb easily, given extra room, could make 5lb bags pointless, since I should be able to fill three bags @ 3.34lbs each. EMP04Z, 2 cases, = $/case of $343.60 /1000 = $.3436/bag. Shipping = $70.44

Total = $757.64 for 2k. 757.64/2000=.37882/bag shipped, below target price.


Good! Thanks! This entry invalidates my request for 5lb bags, unless someone can find a much better deal. Buying just one type would save a lot up-front.

If someone's doing boxes, please keep these bags in mind.

Currency Risk Insurance



Oh, right. I thought of something else before I went to sleep this morning which I've now remembered. It's a bit complicated (probably due to my poor explanation), and I suspect the vast majority of people won't care about this.

All Bitcoin CDs are now automatically partially insured against BTC drastically devaluing as a service to CD-holders. With CDs, you are now granted an option you may exercise no later than two days before your CD is set to expire. PM me, and I will pay out your BTC CD in MtGoxUSD, PPUSD, DwollaUSD, or I will send you a check in the amount granted by your insurance plan -- whatever you prefer (but nothing outside of those payment options). Having your CD paid off early by me in BTC voids your option to receive a USD payout. Receiving a USD payout voids your BTC CD. You may receive partial payment in both currencies if you like. For holders of CDs on a plan above Tier 5, I will not pay off the CD in BTC prior to the date of maturity, to ensure you have a chance to request payout in USD if you prefer. Tier 5 CD-holders will still have their CD paid off early as I see fit. USD payout DOES include accrued interest (unless you request to be paid prior to date of maturity, in which case you are entitled to no interest on principal). You must specify you want currency risk insurance prior to purchasing the CD. You may not purchase currency risk insurance after you've purchased a CD. See examples at bottom of this post to see exactly how this is supposed to work.

**Expect DwollaUSD requests to require at least 10 business days to be processed. Checks will be sent Priority USPS with signature requirement & delivery confirmation #. MtGoxUSD may take ~10 business days if in an amount >$500. Otherwise, should be within a day or two. PPUSD is instant, but it's Paypal, so....**


The plans are as follows (these plans are valid on new CDs while the last trade value per ฿1 on MtGox is between $4.60 and $5):

Tier 5 ($1/฿1) - All CD-holders are granted this option by default. This applies retroactively, so all CD-holders currently have this option. You may request your CD be paid in USD. The value of your BTC CD will be worth $1 per Bitcoin. If you have a ฿100 CD and request full USD payout, you would receive $100, and your BTC CD would be void. There is no penalty to MPR attached to having this plan.

Tier 4 ($2.75/฿1) - For each BTC your CD is worth at date of maturity, you are entitled to $2.50 USD payout on the condition that it voids your CD. If you have a ฿100 CD and request full USD payout, you would receive $250, and your BTC CD would be void. Requesting Tier 4 currency risk insurance on your CD reduces CD's MPR by .5% (absolute, not relative).

Tier 3 ($3.50/฿1) - For each BTC your CD is worth at date of maturity, you are entitled to $3.25 USD payout on the condition that it voids your CD. If you have a ฿100 CD and request full USD payout, you would receive $325, and your BTC CD would be void. Requesting Tier 3 currency risk insurance on your CD reduces CD's MPR by 2% (absolute, not relative).

Tier 2 ($4.25/฿1) - For each BTC your CD is worth at date of maturity, you are entitled to $4.00 USD payout on the condition that it voids your CD. If you have a ฿100 CD and request full USD payout, you would receive $400, and your BTC CD would be void. Requesting Tier 2 currency risk insurance on your CD reduces CD's MPR by 3% (absolute, not relative).

Tier 1 ($4.60/฿1) - For each BTC your CD is worth at date of maturity, you are entitled to $4.35 USD payout on the condition that it voids your CD. If you have a ฿100 CD and request full USD payout, you would receive $435, and your BTC CD would be void. Requesting Tier 1 currency risk insurance on your CD reduces CD's MPR by 4% (absolute, not relative).


Examples:
[1]You would like to purchase a ฿100 32D CD... so you do, and don't bother specifying wanting any complicated currency risk insurance. It turns out Bitcoin & Silk Road were constructed by and are monitored by FBI/CIA/ETC which are now doing a massive round-up of transactors to imprison them. Bitcoins are unable to be sold on markets due to lack of demand (effectively being worth nothing). You're entitled to demand USD payout for $1 per the BTC you're entitled to as specified by CD terms. A week before your CD matures, you tell me you want DwollaUSD instead of BTC. I'll pay you $105 ([100BTC principal + 5BTC in interest currently on 32D CDs]*$1) via Dwolla, and your CD will be void.

[2]You purchase a ฿100 63D CD and specify you want Tier 3 insurance. While the CD is active, weak demand and heavy selling pushes BTC down to $3. A few days prior to your CD maturing, you tell me you want to exercise your option to sell the CD for USD, and would like payment via check. So, I send a check in the amount of $346.13 ([100BTC principal + 12BTC unadjusted interest on 63D loan - 5.5BTC for insurance on this particular CD]*3.25) to the name and address you provide. Once the check is sent, the CD is void.

[3]You purchase a ฿100 32D CD and specify you want Tier 2 insurance. 10 days into the CD's effective start date, you tell me you need PPUSD immediately. I cash out your CD in PPUSD in the amount of $400 ([100BTC principal -- no interest paid due to early withdrawal]*4).

[4]You purchase a ฿100 32D CD and specify you want Tier 1 insurance. Immediately after the transaction, you tell me you want the CD cashed for GoxUSD. I pay you $435 ([100BTC principal -- no interest paid due to early withdrawal]*4.35) in GoxUSD, voiding the CD. I wonder why you went this complicated route instead of just requesting USD for BTC.

[5]You purchase a ฿100 32D CD with Tier 4 insurance. One day before the CD matures, you tell me you want to be paid in GoxUSD. I roll my eyes and point you to this thread, where I specify I require at least 2 days' (prior to the CD maturing) notice.

[6]You purchase a ฿100 32D CD with Tier 1 insurance. The price of BTC remains pretty stable, so you don't request USD. You'll be paid ฿100 (5% MPR - 5% Tier 1 MPR penalty = no interest earned) at date of maturity.

Any questions, please ask. Fwiw, I think reading through the examples will clear up many questions. I will not be adding this ridiculously long post to the OP, but linking to this post. Cheers!
