... Couldn't they just hide devices and charge via PayPal or use something like DD-WRT's ad service?

What happens when the homeless person wants to walk somewhere else? Will there be a mob of weirdos walking around with the homeless so they don't move out of the service area?

It doesn't seem possible to see whether people ignored are highlighted or not -- doesn't appear to affect the "unignore" button.

Hm. Can we see if we're highlighted without creating a sock puppet account?

Spreading the benefits of efficient economy everywhere possible. Allowing the impoverished to rise to lower-middle class, using the increased productivity to raise funds ensuring certain diabetics on this forum are able to use receive their insulin, expanding the capabilities and recognition of Silk Road, so those disabled by pain can function enough to provide for their family -- allowing those oppressed by their government to feel dignity for the first time, expanding a platform for artisans who know all about their product, and turning business as usual into something everyone takes pride in.


Lol, jk - let's get wasted!

Really, I believe Satoshi was pretty excited when he added emoticons to the forum. So, I guess we should use a lot of those in this thread. 

Celebrate antibiotics with commerce. Light bulbs are antiquated.

Life's not one big party. We're doing Satoshi's work.

Celebrate commerce with a day off?

No thanks. Let's go about our business as usual.

Just ate a lot of stir-fry.

Matthew, save us!

Yep. I've already gone through that thought train. However, many make less than enough to be excluded from the EITC. With EITC, there are quite a few cases where "paying taxes" is more like "collecting welfare," especially if you have kids.

He went on Omegle to talk to people, taking a small first step toward overcoming his social anxiety.

I'm pretty fond of Phoenix 2. Has an editable config file, now, and merges workload. Set up the config, then just run the program - runs quietly in the background.

Thanks, BB!

Reducing shipping cost is pretty tough. I order online, I save a few dimes, but USPS has a minimum, and it's unavoidable to have it pushing the price for small orders far higher up than I'd like. For half-pound bags, I've currently brought my costs down to $8.02 after shipping, with shipping taking up $4.95 of that (that's a rough average. Should be ~$4.86-$5.80 each.). Only $2.10 of those costs are actual ingredients.  Looking at different boxes to further reduce costs without increasing time cost nor risking damage while shipping. Trying my best to make shipping a pound of granola be profitable @ a $10 price shipped (right now would be losing $.23 + time per box, excluding cost of shipping packaging, shipping labels, and Bit-Pay fees). May ship half-pound orders in padded envelopes I still have from a previous venture.... need to take another look at shipping prices going that route (ETA: savings could be quite significant trying this way and allow me to price @ <$10 for 1/2 lb. orders).

Filing for LLC creation was ridiculously easy, and not too expensive. Not sure whether or not I can squeeze out of needing a food license from the state. Everything should be good to go in about a month. Test batches will be sent out to a few who've helped me out in a few weeks, both to review the effectiveness of the packaging during shipment and the taste of the granola.

The revised prices are as follows:
1/2 lb - $11 shipped continental US (ETA: re-re-re-revised price = $7.50 shipped)
1 lb - $14 shipped continental US
3 lb - $28 shipped continental US
6 lb - $50 shipped continental US

Bags will definitely be reclosable. Haven't found a good source of high-quality, low-price almonds or pumpkin seeds yet, which is pushing the ingredient cost higher than I'd like. - Oh & ETA: definitely looks like I'll be able to experiment with the rum-flavored vanilla extract from DeLorean.

Oh Hell, I know I have Pokemon TCG on GB Color somewhere, among other things. I remember thinking that game was the shit. Just need to figure out which box they're in. (subbed in case I forget by time daughter wakes up again)

I bid 12BTC + shipping (if <$25).

Starting to think you're serious. Not sure how much so.

I'll start off with 10BTC + I demand a pleasant surprise included.

North Korean or South Korean?

I've already played through D2 again. Quite a bit of anticipation built up. Considering illegally downloading Diablo since Blizzard insists I don't own software purchased from them and I sure don't have the nearly 15-year-old CD. Managed to pass on Starcraft 2 on principal (was also annoyed by the DRM & map censorship) even though SC & WC3 (more time with the scenario editor on WC3 than actually playing the game) probably consumed more of my life than any other two activities online - yes, even porn. On top of all that, I don't play video games very often anymore, and STILL have trouble waiting for Diablo III to be released.

Latest rumor gives a release date of April 19th, I believe, with the rumored announcement coming on March 12th.

Just think of it as a fundraiser for.... Idunno. Matt, putting stuffed monkeys in the Bitcoin magazine packaging, obese Americans requiring medical care?

Yep.

Snack bags will either stand up and be sealed with a twist-tie, or be shipped in flat, reclosable bags (any preference? Packaging costs are fairly insignificant either way, though packaging in stand-up bags would be easier due to the sizes available). Bags will be shipped fairly tightly in thick, crush-proof boxes. Shipping comes with USPS "delivery confirmation." Looking like we'll definitely be using Bees Brothers' honey, and hoping to get another member's vanilla extract. Shipping should occur within 3 days of an order. I'm debating with myself whether to use Bit-Pay, do everything manually (leaning toward this), or use whatever Gox is coming out with.

Upon looking up the current postage rates, I'm striking the option to ship to Canada -- too little "value-density."

Snack bag prices will be roughly around the following:
1/2 lb - $12 shipped anywhere in continental US.
1 lb - $15 shipped anywhere in continental US.
3 lb - $30 shipped anywhere in continental US.
ETA: 6 lb should be doable. Can combine two bags in one box. Expecting to sell @ $52.50.

Shipping as cereal & bars get more complicated. This will be put off until I'm convinced there's enough demand to order the packaging.


ETA: Working with Bees Brothers to grab a nice big tub of honey. Surprisingly, it's right around the price of the cheapest honey I could find - even after including shipping on the Bees Bros honey! 

ETA2: Now working on forming a proper LLC. -- But Kluge, you'll be reporting transactions to the GOVERNMENT! Yep, but I have plenty of deductibles, and if I plan properly, there's no reason for me to be excluded from a net profit from filing taxes via EITC. -- But Kluge, wtf is a BTC legally, anyway? With Bit-Pay, there're no worries. I can keep receipts in USD.
