GoogleCheckout wants $25 for an Android developers account. I've got bitcoins. Anyone willing to facilitate?
Never say no to a panda.

Wha? I was being serious you know. We are distributing a digital magazine starting this month. Hmm. That's what comes of coming across as something of a joker/prankster I guess! Well - I look forward to seeing it. 60+ pages every month does sound ambitious - but I see from the work you put into your bittalk.tv christmas special that you like to bite off more than you can chew and then chew like buggery, so I apologise and withdraw my skepticism  I imagine its going to take some people a while to warm up to the idea of someone like me running a anything serious, but actions speak louder than words so I guess I'll just keep on pushing. The Christmas Special was a disaster because of a death in the family causing me to come back to Korea just two weeks before Christmas, because the equipment hadn't even been ordered yet, and because I was working with someome not used to improvisational film. Now that we have done something together, the rest will be a tad easier. As for the magazine, that's 7 people working on it. It'll be way better. It migt be 3 days late though, just like the Christmas special. |

Any more bright ideas?

I see too much blind optimism. Everyone thinks bitcoins will rise to the moon again.
Remember some points.
1) Bitcoins are as useless now as they ever were
What kind of person wastes time on forums about things they think are fundamentally useless? Psst... also, not all commodities are consumed. Hint: think metals.What metals are not consumed? Generally speaking, precious metals. Primarily gold, now that so many "consuming" industrial uses have been found for silver. Lots of people drink silver water and gold water and you can find it in your body as well. just saying. |

Bitcoin will destroy Paypal!!!!
More like "A paypal substitute using bitcoin will destroy paypal". Paypal has employees that handle issues and a system designed for ease of use. Bitcoin has neither alone. |

1) Bitcoins are as useless now as they ever were
A few days ago I got paid a few thousand dollars by someone overseas. Happened instantly, with no fee, no delay, and at 11pm in the evening. Bitcoin is a useless as the automobile. To clarify your example, you'd need to mention that the automobile is electric and you live in the country. |

I dont see the benefit of a link when this entire forum is a giant advertising and communication medium. Got a service? Start a thread. Want to waste money? Pay for microscopic textonly adspace.

I will give you 3BTC to tear out each and every page one-by-one, tape them together using a suit pattern, wear the suit, take pictures of yourself dousing your new merry suit in gasoline, then setting it on fire while shrieking.
Your video will go viral on youtube. In fact, it's a good concept for an on-going channel where you find new and creative ways to destroy books.

This thread is full of so much failed mentality.
Almost every arguement you can make to a taxi driver about bitcoin, you can also make for literally every other digital payment method. Not only is it impractical to use bitcoins in a taxi (not microtransactions, not long distance), without using a payment processor to relieve him of the horrible risk of driving around all day with his bitcoins potentially fluctuating wildly in value by god only knows how much, he would be setting himself up to potentially lose money, and by using a payment processor of course he'd be paying a fee.
Where is the good arguement here? Stop worrying so much about who is accepting bitcoin and start worrying about who has them.
Everyone thinks it's a chicken/egg problem, but it's clearly not. The reason why taxi drivers don't accept bitcoin is because no one uses bitcoin.

Personally, I spend more bitcoins when the price goes up. Since I bought low, I feel I am getting more value for my money.
Ditto. I waited till the price went up to pay for many things. |

Atlas is not interested in making money, he's just interested in being in debt and paying people back immediately after to increase his sense of self-achievement.
Another facet of Atlas that I didn't know about. It was a joke based on how many opportunities he had to make money but blew (including his "Woolong Device" which he refused to use in any sort of non-p2p fashion because he said, and I paraphrase "That is evil. Mastercard and Visa are the garbage of the earth. No fees!"), his numerous comments on how he was not interested in making money, in then followed by an obvious contrast of constantly asking for loans on the forums mixed with constantly looking for 'investors'. Ha-ha. From the bottom of my heart. Ha.. Hah. |

I must say I miss Atlas. I sure wish he came and started posting at TF for me, he'd actually start getting PAID :p.

For the record, I was homeschooled from birth and ironically, I also ran several different schools in South Korea that were all Montessori curriculum, certified by the Montessori society. It's pretty fun stuff but in the US, I think it's almost the same thing as homeschooling.
I take it you never went to traditional schools then, either public or private? Just curious, feel free to ignore if you don't want to dig too far into your educational background. It's all pretty much public information. I've been talking about it openly across the internet ever since I came to Korea. I have signed up and completed a few online programs for higher education but I've never attended a brick and mortar school though no. I find that if done right, it's perfect for people like me who already knew what they wanted to do since 11 years old (I don't need college at ALL, I need graduate school), but that my parents didn't do it right and unlike Zhou who learned mostly from Wikipedia, all I had was IRC. ;_; I consider myself 10 years late/behind on most traditional subjects yet 100 years ahead on most of the real world applicable skills (because I wasn't brainwashed). So you've never had the experience of having to ask permission to use the bathroom. Very nice. About what percentage of your studies were "general purpose" or "universally desirable" beyond basic arithmetic and reading? I'm imagining classic literature or a book or two on logic. Or were reading, writing, and arithmetic it? Of the remaining % of your studies that were aimed at specific end goals (metallurgic studies, as an example) was there a great deal of learning/studying/researching before you actually started getting involved in those areas... the "doing," as it were. I'm guessing some things you simply dropped and moved past. (I understand I'm still using "schooling-oriented" terms that may not be accurate... it's quite possible you rarely spent a day just reading and focusing on "studies." It's the best I can do not having a firm understanding of it though, so my apologies.) I was raised on traditional Montessori principles, so everything was practical, hands on, etc. You can equate to having been in a trade school-- learn only the minimum required to get the trade done. Due to most college entry requirements consisting of graduating a high school accredited by a US Dept of Education recognized accreditation body (mine was middle states accredited), I had to do a correspondence high school. I wasn't really into it though and only did it because I figured it would help me later on in life. To tell you the truth, it hasn't yet! Neither has college, university, or anything else. You know what has helped me though is being an opportunist, dynamic, and talented. Those seem to carry me pretty far. |
