Is it done, yet? I forgot to forward my other magazine subscriptions and am too cheap to pay the USPS $1 "for verification purposes" to forward my mail. All I have to do while defecating is reading the ingredients of Febreeze ("fragrance," water, "deodorizer," "natural propellant" -- what a useful list) and raging against deodorant manufacturers for putting QR codes on the container. I'm going mad, man!
rofl. Relax. It IS done in the sense that we have everything we need in order, but let me just say that people are now on their tippytoes when it comes to releasing this thing with anything but a squeaky clean image. I'm disappointed in a few things and going back and changing them, we're taking turns ganging up on the image/text work for quality control. We can only have a first issue once, and I'm sure we'll fuck it up in one minuscule way or another, but I want to minimize it as much as possible. Tell Adam Harding (email) your new address. |

How does money work for most people online?
1. They find an item or service they like.
2. They click purchase.
3. They enter their credit card or Paypal information.
4. The item/service is on its way.
In practice, for non-tech savvy users, it often works a little bit more like this: 1. Find product you like 2. Click purchase 3. Get up and fumble for your wallet somewhere in one of your jackets. 4. Return to your desk 5 minutes later. 5. Spend 3 minutes typing lots of redundant information such as address and date of birth. 6. Click ‘next’ => ‘Session expired!’ 7. Repeat the whole process of selecting product and type lots of redundant information a second time. 8. Click ‘next’ => ‘Please enable popups!’ 9. Spend 5 minutes looking for ‘disable popups’ button in browser settings. 10. Click ‘next’ => ‘Session expired!’ 11. Repeat the whole process a third time. 12. Mistype credit card number because of growing impatience, causing error message and emptying of fields. 13. Type lots of redundant information a fourth time. 14. 3D-Secure windows pops up, prompting for password. 15. Can’t remember password. Click ‘forgot password’ 16. Wait 5 minutes for confirmation email to arrive 18. Choose new password. 19. ‘Session expired!’ 20. Type in lots of redundant information a 5th time. 21. Wait 2 minutes for ‘processing payment’ window to clear 22. ‘Your card has been declined!’ 22. Try another credit card. Type in lots of redundant information a 6th time. 23. Product is on its way! 24. Have sleepless nights over auto-renewals sneaking their way into your cc bill. Using the Android Bitcoin client: 1. Get out phone. 2. Tap app symbol. 3. Scan QR code on website 4. Enter amount 5. Tap send. 6. Product never arrives and there is no way to get your money back!That's it. Don't worry. We are getting there. FTFY. |

Oh my God this thread is such fail. I'm too lazy to rewrite, so here's a skype paste about it instead.
[5:25:53 AM] Matthew N. Wright: People are dumb
[5:26:06 AM] Matthew N. Wright: Why are they even talking about this kind of thing that EVERYONE IN BANKING REQUIRES ANYWHERE?
[5:26:24 AM] Matthew N. Wright: "But bitcoin isn't a bank! Now excuse me while I wire this money through my bank to bi- OHHHHH"
[5:27:09 AM] Matthew N. Wright: You want your exchange to work closely with banks to provide all the same features
[5:27:21 AM] Matthew N. Wright: You want your exchanges to be legally responsible for your money
[5:27:34 AM] Matthew N. Wright: You want your exchanges to have insurances, securities and legal filings
[5:27:48 AM] Matthew N. Wright: You want your exchanges to provide prompt service and have anti-fraud measures in place
[5:27:52 AM] Matthew N. Wright: But you don't want them to act like a bank!
[5:28:02 AM] Matthew N. Wright: You don't want them to follow the rules of banks!
[5:28:11 AM] Matthew N. Wright: Have cake, eat too.

Thus, emphasis IS on the brick-and-mortar establishment, and not on Bitcoin.
Oh. Then why is this in bitcoin discussion? Pff.. lol That said, count me in for a game. I'd recommend demoing it at the next convention, or making it slowly and debuting it at our DCAO sponsored expo. |

[CAUTION: YOU ARE ABOUT TO TAKE A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE]
Goddamnit, I clicked the thread header because I thought the overly-sure sounding tone of title would surely be coming from someone who had experience making things happen. Son, I am disappoint. Moving along. You're welcome.

Morality is not objectively definable. These arguments are so pointless. You guys are pretty much throwing opinions at each other.
Humans call this communication. Absorb. |

OP, it seems you're simply talking about opening an arcade/family fun center that merely utilizes Bitcoin as an internal storage medium. It's honestly more trouble than it's worth and it would be the least of your troubles imo. The more this thread goes on, the more it is starting to look like logansryche's theatre.
I'm really more focused on the laser-tag thing. I agree the arcade/family fun center seems to be more trouble than it's worth. I'm thinking more 16+, 18+, or 21+ crowd. That's just it though, I don't see (as a 12 year old brained 27 year old) any interest in doing things just because of Bitcoin more than once, and I don't seen any benefits to using bitcoin to patrons at this point in Bitcoin, but I do see the simplicity that bitcoin can bring to internal and external accounting (as can OTS!) but that stops at the POS for the time being. The laser tag is also a wild idea in itself and might be better if merged with interactive online experiences. Not a computer game, but a real life controllable game (webcam robot arms anyone?) Read my post about the paintball tanks that are controlled through wifi and have their own sensors and webcams and even screens on all sides to show the player's mugshot at different angles to simulate them driving, then go look at these photos and you'll see that things can be cool AND accessible when the internet is involved and not just a brick and mortar establishment. http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?24983-RC-tank-paintballhttp://hackedgadgets.com/2009/01/04/m1a2-abrams-rc-battle-tank/ |

The more this thread goes on, the more it is starting to look like logansryche's theatre where all he needs to run it is popcorn and an oven! EDIT: Coin/credit systems exist http://www.coinopexpress.com/products/parts/smart_card_system.html and you want to drag the blockchain into it? -_-; |

I thought arcade tokens by law could have no cash value. Does anyone know if that’s true?
Oh come on. You know better than to say something like that without defining a country/state. |

My idea begins at laser-tag and ends at Chuck E' Cheese.
Playing laser tag against robots that look like anthropomorphic animals, who once in a while stop to play a round of bluegrass or some funky rock, sounds, um, interesting. I lolled. That band creeps me the fuck out. I'd pay BTC to shoot them in the face with lasers, but only if OP was giving out Spyder III Pro Arctics as the laser gun. |

You could even extend the idea a little to include the waiting room where your waiting for your game to come up. You allow patrons to play pinball or other arcade type games where the high score is a pool that pays out in BTC (they leave their card in the game while playing). Of course, the pool is only a fraction of the BTC the game actually brings in.
Lol. This is turning into a $300k endeavor and on its way to being a Bitcoin theme park. My idea begins at laser-tag and ends at Chuck E' Cheese. I already imagined the Six Flags idea, but I admit I have little interest in a Bitcoin rollercoaster. No offense, but now we're on our way to reinventing the wheel with this. That said, Coinopexpress.com would probably sell you all the devices and parts you need to do any arcade center and for good discounts. I have worked with them for a while on DoogiDoogi drum and Pump it Up machines. I really don't think people are going to pay money to go to a place just to pay more money to play games though, especially not just for the novelty of using an internet currency. Gotta be something more than that going on. Championship games maybe? Maybe like the movie "The Wizard"? Giant NES pads on giant projector screens, 10 minutes of Mario to see who gets the highest score and give them 100 BTC or something? I actually participated in the Suwon Olympiad Game Competition in Korea and placed in the drumming competition. I would have loved that to be a Bitcoin prize instead of the $2,500 cardboard check. |

On the off chance that a single person in Bitcoin has missed this video about this topic done MONTHS ago,  I'M SURE IT'S JUST COINCIDENCE THAT VIDEO WAS PUBLISHED ON 9/11 SIR! ... lol, your intro always cracks me up  |

Where do you draw the line?
Proof of intent. If there is none, it was an accident. If there is proof, it was murder (even if it didn't play out as you planned). And that's exactly what it comes down to to define something as an accident or not. Very elementary stuff. If someone intended on doing it, it wasn't an accident. When the little girl fell, the child didn't intend on that happening, therefor it wasn't an accident. That doesn't mean it wasn't a direct result of what he did though, and if I were that child I would feel compelled (and embarrassed) to go over to the girl and make sure she was okay. |
