I have a decent list of sites in a website I made whereas you can spend your bitcoin: https://coinsources.io/#spend_your_bitcoin

 That's impressive!  I had no idea such a compendium existed.  Thanks!

It's a pity he had to bodge it. Where did you get your original avatar picture from?

Ah mersi!  Here is a very lightly bodgered hat instead Smiley

Where did you find the big version of his underpants avatar, or is that the very lightly bodgered bit?

 I know it doesn't sound very nice but I was coerced into bodgering Yefi's underwear.

I tried to keep your hat as muted as possible in keeping with your grey-scale avatar and your no nonsense personality.  Even though your avatar is named after itself, I had a lot of trouble finding it in a larger size.  Today I had an epiphany and realized it was Ji-Tu Cumbuka from A Man Called Sloane.  I knew I had seen him but it took a while to figure out where.... damn I'm getting old.

Five years now waiting for someone, anyone, to correctly nail the obscure reference to my avatar image. His character name on the show was "Torque".

Mega merit for you! And thanks for the hat!  Cheesy

Edit: I've uploaded the new avatar, but still no change. Guess I'll have to wait...

 Well to be honest, the avatar was familiar but it was a very faint memory.  Just today my sister came for a visit and I asked her "Who is this guy?!  I've seen him but i can't rememebr where!"  My sister said she had no idea but then my wife said she was certain it was Michael Clark Duncan from The Green Mile. My first reaction was "No way. That  guy was a giant!" but I did a bit more searching and I saw a picture of Ji-Tu... as it turns out, both Michael Clark Duncan and Ji-Tu Cumbuka were 6'5" though Michael Clark Duncan had a lot more mass - he weghed in at 315 lbs.

 I can't see your new avatar yet either but sometimes it takes a while to show up.  Thanks very much for the merit Smiley

[...] they are working so hard to become just another Cryptsy 2.0 scammer platform.

They see the next true Dotcom era wave coming and want to suck in as much business as possible. Makes sense.

If thousands of shitcoins are treated as equally special, then none of them are. Nothing but a bunch of penny stock trash.

Bitcoin is the only crypto that matters. Everything else is irrelevant.

Let me get this straight?  Sideways? 
4468  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Rare address hall of fame on: November 05, 2018, 12:53:02 AM
how to get that address? is this just a coincidance? or not? or maybe they generate it? but as i know to generate more than 5 digits is impossible right now? let see 1111111111111111111114oLvT2    there are 22 times the number 1, my big question, HOW?

 Read the post directly above yours for the answer!

I am conflicted on organ donation. On one hand, it makes our species as a whole weaker as people who should have died stay alive and procreate, breeding even more weak and sickly people. On the other, it maximizes the use of resources. Difficult.

So by that logic we should stop all foreign aid and let them all die from starvation and disease.

Stop all welfare payments so the unemployed (often less intelligent), sick and disabled die.

Stop anti-biotics so only the strongest survive infection.

Why not get rid of the police so society devolves into survival of fitness?

The Hatter is a fictional character in the Wall Observer Thread. He/she/it is often referred to as the Mad Hatter

who is he/she/it?

 I don't know but rumour has it, the Mad Hatter is beer fueled.

You should also know the TV license has always been entirely to fund the BBC, through all of its outlets online, on TV and on radio which are free and carry no advertising or sponsorship.  Most people in the UK rather like the BBC.  Even if they do moan about it, they would not see it gone by any stretch of the imagination, nor do they prefer endless ad breaks, as some countries seem to love.

Personally, I'd be fine without the BBC, but then I don't watch Bake Off, Strictly, or whatever. In fact, my aerial hasn't been plugged in for eight or nine years now.

 Hopefully, by wearing this hat, your luck with that aerial of yours will change.   I never was able to find out what the acronym BBC is short for exactly...
Turns out xhomerx10 is a bodger but at least the hat matches your underwear.  Happy plugging!

MP has his own shitcoin now. Ipso facto he's a shitcoiner now. Innit?

 Smiley

Who is MP?  Anyone that "we" (WO thread participants) know?  Does he have a WO hat?

 Mircea Popescu I believe and no, he doesn't have a WO hat but he does have this -

sold a couple of coins to pay for my trip/implants.

don't you DUMP the price

yeah if you have started a trend there will be much unhappiness. you might even have to give your hat up.

 Speaking of hat, a search for your avatar brings up a multitude of cats but none of them are yours.  Do you have a larger version of your avatar?

How much did they pay you for the memes, if not a secret?

 Well I can only speak for myself and I don't get paid a cent which is probably not surprising to anyone.

Guys! I am really keen on stories about living in different countries and in what, how do you imagine the life in Russia ?  8)Its a real talk! Cheesy

 Bear with me since I am not Russian nor do I associate with Russians so this is pure conjecture.

The life in Russia

 I, as the patriarch of a household of 2 children (one daughter in her teens and one adult son) and my wife would arise early in the morning; let's say around 7am.  While I prepare the coffee, my wife will make some eggs or porridge, maybe some bread with sausage or cheese on it or possibly kefir that I will wash down with a stiff shot of vodka (which I need because my son of 21 years old does not have a job or attend school).  My wife will wake our young daughter and try to get her ready for school.  She of course will refuse any breakfast since she is overly concerned about her weight and wants to be a supermodel like Irina Shayk or a world-class tennis player like Ana Kournikova.  Perhaps she will have a cup of juice or a spoonful of yogurt and then spend the next half hour applying her make-up and choosing her clothing.  My son, of course will still be sleeping since he was up all night trying to mine Bitcoin or some shitcoin thinking he will be rich one day while driving up my electricity bill which he can't help to pay since he has no job - I take another shot of vodka; likely Stolichnaya.  
  After we get breakfast out of the way, I will walk my wife to the Metro station.  My daughter no longer wants to walk with us as she is embarrassed to admit we are her parents.  I suppose she doesn't want potential suitors to know what she will eventually look like as she ages.  We talk about our son and what to do about his lack of regular employment, desire for higher education and his general overall lackadaisical outlook on life - I take a hit on the hip flask my son gave me for New Year's day (I'm pretty sure it was used but hey, it still works).  We kiss goodbye and go our separate ways to work.  By the way, my wife is a school teacher and I am a scientist. She tells me the children are generally well behaved and studious in school but the clothing they wear looks rather old and ragged but that's the style these days.  In my day, we would have had to wear a school uniform and there was no heat in the classrooms you really wanted to make sure you didn't have any holes in your clothing.  Fortunately, my daughter likes to dress fairly well.

 Here are pictures of my kids:
Our daughter


Our son


We haven't been able to get a decent picture of our son since he was 16.  We just can't stay up late enough to catch him awake - I take another hit on my hip flask.

 Before I board the Metro, I stop to realize that I have forgotten to take the dog out to do his business.  I call my wife hoping that she might have remembered; she had not so I call home hoping to find our daughter still there but to no avail for she has undoubtedly left for school by now.  I let it ring 10 times but there is no answer; my son has probably disconnected the phone lines again so as not to disturb his beauty rest.   I trudge home and take the dog for a quick walk in a nearby park taking care to scoop up after him and deposit it in the proper waste container.  For some time now, there are plastic scoops and paper bags to collect dog waste for disposal.  The parks were becoming a minefield of dog turds so I'm happy to do this.  I return home with our dog, which is a French Bulldog, pretty much all the dogs in Moscow are French Bulldogs these days - likely because they don't smile very often just like their masters.

 I head back to the Metro station and decide to stop on the way to get a coffee.  I have to be quick as I am almost late for work so I pay with my Unionpay tap and go card and promise to leave a good tip tomorrow.  The server usually likes to get a tip but will understand if you don't have some how-u-say moneda? handy to leave with them.  I take a seat on the Metro which is rare since it is generally packed in the early morning rush-hour but my unexpected foray home to take the dog out has delayed my departure... I consider making this a regular habit.  It's nice having a seat to myself. I sip my coffee and... Chto?! Koritsa!! I asked them not to put cinnamon in it!!!!  Shit.  I take another hit on my hip flask.

 Well that's my stop.  I have to go to work now but just so you know, I'll probably have some soup for lunch - possibly schi or uha - or maybe pelmeni and then I will have to call my son to make sure he is awake and going to look for a job.  By noon I will stop drinking alcohol because I don't want to perpetuate the myth of the stereotypical alcoholic Russian.

 Do svidaniya!

The first image with 80% opacity, I'm using Adobe Illustrator
this is 100% opacity :






I have the original file, maybe you want to help me to edit it Grin

 Wow, it's not bad!  A couple of things though, you have the ratio wrong - you should crop it to a 3:2 ratio so when you size it as an avatar it is exactly 120X80 pixels - and I personally would not have used the opacity change because it reduces image quality.  Oh, also, I have the original1; perhaps you meant the original kitty image?  I'm thinking about offering a 4 year apprentice program for would-be hatters which would of course include a minor in how to prevent erethism mercurialis.  I'm still working out the pricing details but of course, anyone graduating would be offered a position as a partner in my burgeoning, millinery empire.
