Nom nom i want some pie Sad

It's blueberry and raspberry combined.

I made an apple pie the other day with apples I picked from the neighbors yard--at night. So, not only did I steal the apples, but it took me 30 minutes to slice, core and peel those bastards. By morning, 1/2 the pie was eaten by my stoned out of his motherfuckin' mind nephew, then lied about touching the son of the bitch.

The fucker did get a new job, though. It lasted almost three weeks. He claimed to be head of the cooking department, but in reality he was the dish washer. When asked why he's not working there anymore, he lied about that too, saying the boss and the other cooks didn't know what they were doing. The truth is that he got himself a new xBox with his first paycheck and played the SOB too late, thus was always late to work, that is if he opted to go in at all. I'm leaning toward the latter.

The next time the stoned Goth useless piece of shit fucker starts crying and wants to kill himself, I'm goin' borrow Kano's sword and give it to him.

2 lb Steak

You ate a medium sized onion?    Why?   Shocked

I fried it in with the steak, mushroom, and asparagus.

Can't wait till the pie cools.

5825  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It took 10 seconds for the brainwallet "password1" to be taken on: November 02, 2013, 01:47:01 AM
so could there be a possible collision?  Huh

If you use a password to create a private key it is very easy for computers to generate the private keys and check the balance.  You need to create the private keys randomly and not from a password.  In other words, no brain wallets.  people can run large supercomputers and check passwords all day long so don't even try it.

the best way to go is use a deterministic wallet like armory or electrum.  that was you have one long key you have to save and back up.  Then all your addresses are created from that.

you really need a very strong password something like "1bH7Dt62Hu82" should be good enough no?

Actually, I like that password. If nobody is using it, can I have it?

Another request. Can we use an innovative financial instrument to donate to a charity that focuses on innovative finance?

From Vanessa

Quote
Our charity is Lend for America (lendforamerica.org). We offer a platform to help college students practice microfinance in the U.S. Students raise small funds to make microloans to disadvantaged business owners in the community next to their university. We've grown from 3 campus MFIs in 2009 to 24 today and we offer several programs to help students including online toolkits, in-person training during site visits, an annual conference, and a year-long fellowship program. We were founded by and still remain within the legal structure of the Intersect Fund Corporation - tax ID #: 36-4636828. The Intersect Fund was founded by students at Rutgers University in 2008 to serve small business owners throughout New Jersey.

Please let me know what other information you may need.

This charity was actually introduced to us by DavidBAL, who found out about us at the Amsterdam conference, and was also at the Atlanta conference.
The first thing I notice, though, is that they don't have a donation page. Hmmm  Tongue

As you've lightly touched upon, The Intersect Fund is the parent entity: http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?k=61s/TEfclYDjhittscQD7ocgaSDf62z48ufwU3MZRuT8G6wTsA2hPFxE3+jhD+/P5UuheAwIp4w=&domain=lendforamerica.org&prog_id=GoDaddy

Great job, guys Wink

I missed where Bitcoin 100 is mentioned, psy.

Also, there's been 416 comments on that article.
5828  Economy / Services / Re: Bitcoin 100: Developed Specifically for Non-Profits on: November 02, 2013, 01:01:25 AM
Yes, the organization is more of a humanitarian outreach than "religious" one.  I know how you feel about that. Wink 


It's not how I feel about that, it's what the organization's policy is. It's not my money that Bitcoin100 will be donating.

Fair enough.  Thanks for your endorsement though.  Smiley

Basically, it's a simple process to vet the NPOs, then give enough time for anybody to express their concerns, whatever they may be.

For instance:

Then make sure the NPOs are not heavily religious-based.

This one passes!

Lend For America apparently does have a donation page here http://lendforamerica.org/contact.html Any comments on whether they qualify?

I'm now going to see how to address Rassah's concern.

...mushrooms & onions, and asparagus. Followed later with a blueberry/raspberry (mixed) pie, currently baking in the oven. I would take a pic of the medium rare cooked steak while I'm eating it, but the shutter speed is fast enough.

5831  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Open letter to Russell Brand, asking him to join the bitcoin revolution on: November 02, 2013, 12:33:05 AM
no one is saying that Russell brand should become the next UK prime minister or anything to equal power of government leader, but if anyone had the fame to grab the media's attention with just one single tweet or a single statement said into a microphone, that 'joe public' would atleast want to hear, can you think of many others.

for instance arnold Schwarzenegger he has alot of friends in politics still he would be a good motivator for the US revolution, brand as the UK motivator. by this i mean these guys would motivate and organise protests but not become the countries leaders.

now if there was one guy that was to shout out to media "visit this government petition website and if we get X million signatures, then the government has to change"

who can you think of that could get that much publicity, and belief that the campaign is real in such a small timescale?

Another guy comes to mind:

I'll pay $50 worth of bitcoin to whoever uploads it to youtube.  (This has now been claimed)

Hell, I would have done it for free.

Hi Rassah,

I talked to someone last night who works for a great non-profit (giving wheelchairs to kids in 3rd world countries) that might want to start taking Bitcoins. I instantly thought of you!  Any advice I should send his way?

Thanks.  Smiley



Would you be so kind as to post or PM me or Rassah the URL so that they can vetted?

5835  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Uk GBP exchange on: November 01, 2013, 05:24:44 AM
I would advise caution with regard to CoinFloor for a few reasons:
  • It is run in part by Nefario, someone tagged as a scammer on this forum (who still owes me and others BTC from the shutdown of GLBSE).
  • Given he is CTO of the site, his GLBSE security record should be recalled.  There was a significant theft from that site (~3500 BTC I believe).
  • Also worth considering that every single bitcoin exchange in the UK so far has been cut by banks backing.

Trading through BitBargain and LocalBitcoins is by far the most secure method.


Yes all future ones will be as well. The bank cannot verify the origin of the BTC so cannot satisfy their anti money laundering requirements. As soon as they find out what the exchange is doing they will freeze the accounts.


Here's a scenario:

Liquidate a majority of the funds in the exchange.

Contact the UK banking institute and have them freeze their account.

Claim to their lucky clients that all is well, just a glitch about to be settle.

After a couple weeks, claim it's worse than they thought, but all it looking good.

After a couple months, claim the bank is playing hardball with their money, and somehow hacked the exchange during an audit.

Close shop.

Profit!

In about a year, use the same Montley Tools with different titles and start another exchange.

Can we assume the names are easily transferrable?

These are user names and are non-transferrable and these are not domain names.   It would be like trying to sell your email address.

Bad analogy, for an email address can easily be sold, and are done so daily, commonly included in social media packages, i.e. a Twitter account having a desirable name linked to an email address.

5840  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: So I got a hotdog stand accepting bitcoin at the school trade fair... on: October 31, 2013, 11:01:31 PM
I've only begun to be awesome. Whether you or they know it, they're in a unique place and time to further this endeavor to the nth degree.

If I'm not mistaken, there's 3-4 lads having different skill sets that should be able to build and maintain a website, of which I will reimburse for their chosen domain name (a unique one for this endeavor is still available that I would share privately so that it's not taken prematurely).

The purpose of the website is to sell only one product--hot dogs. Hot dogs from around the world, consisting of every imaginable topping, not to mention the myriad of ways various nations present their dogs, i.e. here in the US traditionally they're served on a bun.

No need to worry about sanitation, preparation or shipping, for these would be virtual hot dogs, purchased only with Bitcoin at a cost of $2.00 USD/NZD/AUD/CAN (the purity is close enough). For other currencies, a nice round number as close to $2.00 (pick one) as possible would suffice. The bottom line, each and every currency in the world will be represented on their website, but again they'll only accept BTC.

As the website grows and gains traction, it'll be continually update with images of international hot dogs that they've actually cooked/build themselves, then photograph.

I'm not done yet!

Let's say I order a German hot dog, known locally as the frankfurter, from the website, depicted similarly to the below.



Once paid, a short video appears, whereupon I'll view some cute Fräulein presenting me my order, bringing it all the way up to the camera, and speaking in her native tongue something to the effect, "Enjoy your meal."

Obtaining the videos would be no problem either, for I've got a plan that involves having the female/male/other servers submitting footage free of charge. More on that later if this idea comes to fruition.

Assuming you're the older brother, you would be in position to manage these lads as they get to travel around the world, known on the Hot Dog Guys (close to the moniker I have in mind).

Here's the beautiful part of the whole idea: It'll cost no upfront monies what-so-ever. All they would have to do is commit.
