Why rent, when you could pre-order. “Working with a mature design team has been a key advantage. We've been able to leverage our team's decades of experience to quickly explore and evaluate multiple options, and deliver at record speed. Another critical advantage was the choice of UniquifyTime and Dr. Who for design and manufacturing. Both are at the top of their fields, have worked together on multiple projects, and are true innovators.” |

Last Active: November 29, 2013, 03:08:24 PM Interestingly, Nov 29th was the day Bitcoin hit the gold price. Was that a signal for a long holiday incognito? I meant to add that interesting tidbit, but got sidetracked with penning the humor aspect of the post. Glad to see you're back, John. BTW, while you were gone, a new Dong has joined our ranks--Long Dong Johnson. Use the search engine on this forum to get up to speed. Later, bud. ~Bruno |

The title was supposed to confuse bitcointalk users about a "NEW", "ANOTHER", "NOT AGAIN", "OH DAMN", "ORLY?" - ALT-COIN but i guess it didnt work that way...  I'm sure it confused or had most fooled into thinking it was gonna be another crapcoin lol. Ditto. I bet it had a few mods enter ready to angrily move it into altcoins  . And the Cryptsy staff investigated to see if they forgot to add some new coin to their portfolio. |

I was just throwing out the last week's old newspapers and I realised I somehow missed a pretty striking front page feature. This is the online reproduction of the article, from the UK's Manchester Evening News: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/manchester-airport-passengers-miss-compensation-6467948In this case, Manchester Airport passengers could have claimed £63m over delayed flights, but only applied for £1m.Looks like the airlines are benefiting from people's lack of knowledge over their consumer rights, especially in the EU, where a lot of the regulations are changed or adapted over time. Bitcoiners on this forum should be aware that if you suffered a delay or flight cancellation in the EU over the last few years, you may be eligible for compensation. There may be a few hundred quid (or euros) in it for you if you can make a successful claim. More extra cash to invest in Bitcoins perhaps! We're seeing the rise of compensation claims companies in this area, like Airhelp ( http://www.airhelp.eu/en/). I don't see the problem with that if they're experts who know what they're doing and are able to make the process quicker or easier. It looks like it can be difficult and long-winded staking a claim on your own, because there's a chance you may have to take on a court battle. Anyway, just a tip to anyone on here who may stand to benefit. Know your rights!  I learnt something today: A common slang term for the pound sterling or pound is quid, which is singular and plural, except in the common phrase "Quids in!" |

From: Frankie Abralind Sara, Please meet my friend Dmitry. We met in business school and he now runs a foundation that is looking for worthy nonprofits to donate to. He recently donated $1,000 each to my friend Jessie's IBME and my friend Amy's Primate Education Network. I think he will really appreciate the work your organizations are doing. Dmitry's foundation is called BitCoin100. They arose out of the generosity of a few early adopters of an amazing currency called bitcoins (if you're not too familiar with them them, this might help) to promote the value of the currency for nonprofits: when donors make their donations in bitcoins, the recipient nonprofit keeps 100% (hence the name). None of the funds are lost to credit card or processing fees. BitCoin100 donates $1,000 to selected nonprofits who agree to accept the currency on their donation page. Your processor can immediately convert the donation into USD if you like, so you don't actually have to hold bitcoins in your account at all. It doesn't take much work to get it set up, but I know the money would make a valuable difference for incarcerated people and homeless kids. @Dmitry, I met Sara at a class at the Foundation Center. She is a passionate do-gooder who works as a volunteer fundraiser for two organizations. One is called Voices for a Second Chance: they provide services for people incarcerated in D.C. jails. The other is Bright Beginnings: they provide child care for homeless children. Both organizations could make a big difference with a $1,000 donation. Good luck! Would we only be funding one of the charities as before? Both look fine, but keep us abreast on these two, Rassah. |

She is a development manager for the National Kidney Foundation. They're dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease in America. They have made a difference for hundreds of thousands of people and could do a lot with a $1,000 donation. Good luck! Definitely no issues with this one. Though, since I have had kidney stones before, twice, there may be a conflict of interest for me At least you got to go to San Jose while I popped pills. kidney.org looks fine as well. ~Bruno Kucinskas |

From: Frankie Abralind Dear Amanda, Please meet my friend Dmitry. We met in business school and he now runs a foundation that is looking for worthy nonprofits to donate to.

She's smart and very nice and works for a great organization: the bipartisan Committee for Human Rights in North Korea works to end North Korea's gulags and bring more information and freedoms to the people of the country. They could make a big difference with a $1,000 donation. Good luck! Our guidelines are "non-political," and I think this one still qualifies, as they focus on human rights abuses, not politics. I'd tell you what. http://hrnk.org/ has a lot of influencial names on their board/staff/etc., thus a lot of eyeballs would see a Bitcoin donation option on their website if they opt to embed. Overall, it looks fine, as well, Rassah. ~Bruno Kucinskas |

He's a smart, friendly guy with a cool organization-- they help at-risk DC teens develop develop greater responsibility, discipline, perseverance, and goal-setting skills by training them for long distance races. They could make a big difference with a $1,000 donation. Good luck! Don't see any issues with this one. look fine, along with being a great cause. ~Bruno Kucinskas |

I'm personally going to be trying to pursue this charity, too http://www.friskys.org/Unless anyone has any objections P.S. this will be the SECOND monkey-related charity we would fund. Or at least somewhat monkey-related. Also, would AOPA qualify for this? Part of what they do is lobby congress to make sure it doesn't pass stupid laws regarding flying that would screw tings up for private pilots (kinda like the BTC wants to lobby congress to make sure they don't pass stupid anti-bitcoin laws), but mostly they do things like safety training, providing tools, maps and info for pilots, training materials for students, etc. From Bruno (bear) to Rassah (furry), in re. monkey site: When I was a kid, we had a chihuahua named Frisky. Also, my parents--mostly mom--used to call us six kids 'monkeys'. Ergo, before I return to re-reading http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Farm-George-Orwell/dp/0451526341, I'll declare that I like friskys.org. Also, there shouldn't be any problem with AOPA, but if they embed, perhaps http://www.bitcoindf.org/ may consider donating to them as well. |

I've learnt just before this very moment that " we fucking need motivation to fucking do whatever we do." cuz without enough motivation, you really really really dont want to do anything, I mean ANYTHING
Fuck me! It took everything I had inside me to click the quote button so that I can take the words outta my head and put them on this computer. Only if there was an easier way to communicate. Please accept my apologies for not offering up proof as to what motivated me to perform such act. Meanwhile, I learnt http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=skroskro
Skro is a word from the movie Idiocracy and it basically means bro.
Take it easy skro. What's poppin' skro. Mornin' skro. Also, if you take the letter "d" and turn it 180 o (think 69), you'll have the letter "p". Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm heading over to the HashFast thread to see what Skrodenis is up to. BTW, if you Google image search "Idiocracy bling" (without quotes), you'll find this:  "Hey, skro penis. Any idea what this necklace is worth?" EDIT: President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, porn star and five-time ultimate smackdown wrestling champion!!!! A great man, a great american. He will serve up a can of whoop ass if you cross him. He will stomp your ass if you don't! JOIN THE CAMACHO 08 MOVEMENT! CAMACHO WILL SAVE AMERICA................FUCK YEA!!! Now, I'm beginning to wonder. |

Hate to burst the OP and posters' bubble, but if you search for 'coin' on this forum... My bad! Try 'onlycoin'.

you may as well let them run away with your money.
I would really love to have the data HF has about the % of people who agreed to a USD refund and the % that actually sent a certified letter demanding a proper refund. I would love to know the % of refunders who paid with usd vs btc. My guess is so far it as predominantly been usd-ers. I can't see any btc-ers willing to take a 90% haircut for HF. jcambond posted an address HashFast used to collect payments. I sent my entire payment to: 1B3FHM4Ax5BFuRidKBcfURfMaPBEDMDvQ8
Is there a way to know whether these BTC were eventually cashed out through bitpay?
This payment was then sent directly to address 17hCi8apMUkzzLLJgUwfXxRJuykuo5Lcur We can be confident this is HashFast's own address by looking at the first and last deposits to the address, and the dates. On August 6 2013 at 6:30pm a test deposit of 0.001 BTC was received, this is in line with the timeline for the first sales. On October 28 2013 the last transaction can be observed, from this point deposits were directed to another collection address. By this time it had become evident to customers there was a problem, and HashFast began directing payments elsewhere. Looking at the total BTC deposits it is clear HashFast have received most of the payments in BTC. It also appears HashFast have oversold the number of stated units available. This may explain why Batch 2,3 and 4 Baby Jet orders are not published. It can also be confirmed that not all of the BTC deposits have been converted to USD through BitPay as suggested. Here at address 17Vj6tneMEueGgS64aEiNr1fHurEiEHZas we find 1.25 BTC. This deposit came from address 1BGWkLdRwK8PPGH5ziToopTSdnsjtjM8aa which in turn came from 17hCi8apMUkzzLLJgUwfXxRJuykuo5Lcur There can be no confusion because both addresses have had only one deposit. Hope this helps. This may help some more: https://www.google.com/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fblockchain.info+%22hashfast%22&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS549US549&oq=https%3A%2F%2Fblockchain.info+%22hashfast%22&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i58.6767j0j4&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8#es_sm=122&espv=210&q=site:https:%2F%2Fblockchain.info+%22hashfast%22 |

Australia - the only place where you have beaches and ski slopes within a few hour drive away. How about an hour from each other? http://www.hawaiiinfoguide.com/hawaii_skiing.htm |
