Well I hope it does rise to $1000, 'cause I need to buy a generator and a set of Dan Wesson revolvers.   And my 5 coins aren't doing shit for me right now.  So climb climb climb!!

Let me reiterate that, unless you have a HAM license, to stay off the HAM repeaters.  The FCC could potentially fine you *a lot* of money for misuse, and the HAMs don't take lightly for using their equipment w/out a license.  For common folks, however, FRS and MURS you can use right now.   
 
GMRS requires a license (inexpensive), although the chances of getting busted for unlicensed GMRS use isn't very high.  Just keep in mind the fines.
 
Now in an anarchist situation (say zombies, or total societal collapse), then no one is going to give a shit, and that's why I mentioned this radio, since you communicate with others if you need to on the various bands.
 
I'd also suggest keeping (at least) one in a faraday cage in case of a major solar flare that causes major power outages, plus a hand-crank radio (also for GMRS and FRS and is on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000P0O12I/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3PRAOZ3JGCYVI&coliid=I2D0HB6QF5P9F9))

Get yourself a Baofeng UV-5rtransmitter.  $35 off amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_6?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=baofeng+uv-5r&sprefix=baofen%2Caps%2C225, and you can listen/broadcast on several bands, including the popular HAM bands, GMRS, FRS, MURS.  Get one for each member of your family.  Pick a frequency for personal communication and keep tabs on the local HAM freqs/repeaters.
 
If you don't have a HAM license, then don't broadcast now, just listen, at least the repeaters.  You'll want to listen to the HAMs in a disaster anyway, they're usually the ones coordinating communication between various organizations anyway.

Lake of the Ozarks has a lot of cigarette boats that fly by.  It'd be fine down there.  Maybe even Perry lake.  Perry has a long stretch that it'd be fun to run up and back.

Did you cancel this because of the bitcoin crash?

Another excellent transaction from SphereScape!   I purchased a Mossberg from him, and it's awesome 

Things I buy with bitcoins:
 
1. amazon cards (through gyft.com)
2. ammo (from users on here)
3. guns (from a couple users on here)

I don't have many btc to show for it, however, since I spend mine almost as fast as I make them.  Money burns holes in my pockets.

Hey all, I just bought a gun (Beretta U22 NESO) from SphereScape, and it went very well.  I waited until I got it from my local FFL before I submitted feedback, but honestly the entire process felt right, so I wasn't really worried at all.  I will be leaving feedback in his trust as well.
 
He currently has a Mossberg 590a1 on backorder for me as well, and I suspect it will go just as smoothly.
 
My local FFL was awesome as well.  I know it's not relevant to this, really, but I was in and out of his shop in 5 minutes.  Since I was a repeat customer, he had all my paperwork filled out, and I just had to verify/sign.  Since I have a CCH license, he didn't need to call me in for a NCIS background check (Kansas CCH does a much more thorough background than the standard NCIS does, so they figure if you can pass the Kansas one, you'll pass the federal one).  So my time was:  one minute paying/verifying/picking up firearm, and four minutes random talk.

If you want to buy a gun for bitcoins, SphereScape is your man.
 
I even have him tracking me down a harder-to-find gun as soon as I have the bitcoins to pay for it. 

I have a new-in-the-box E-trigger for a Custom 98 (or Custom 98 Pro with serial number #893000 or higher)

I bought it recently thinking I was going to use it, but decided not to.  Still in the packaging, never opened.  They retail for $100, I will sell for $90 and will including shipping (flat rate USPS) to the US.

My originally bought it for the "auto response" mode (gives you one shot per pull and release of the trigger (so two shots per normal trigger function)), and while a lot of parks have a rule against full-auto, the response mode usually gets you around that since you still have to pull the trigger every time.

I'll be going a different route in paintball, and no longer have the need for this.

Comes with 5 total modes:  semi-auto, auto-response, full-auto, 3-shot burst, turbo.

If there's a Lawrence meetup, I may be interested in going, depending on my schedule.   Downtown noonish would be best.  I may be able to bring my coworker, too. (we work just off Mass)

Does this boat have a cuddy cabin, or can you store crap up in the bow?  Or is it sealed?

Inaba, don't you live in the KC area?  A lot of folks (especially in Lenexa and Olathe) tow to Clinton Lake (the lake I boat at) or Perry.  Several people from those areas have slips at the various marinas at the two lakes.  You should do it.

Well he's not going to admit it, but ultimately that's what it was.  I was there from day one and read about it, etc.  It was greed, pure and simple, and hoping for some luck.

litecoin was created because someone got pissy that he missed the early days of mining bitcoins and wanted to create his own gravy train.
 
litecoin misses the whole point of bitcoin.  It creates coins faster and more of them over the course of its lifetime, but again, because he was hoping to get rich.  I guess it's working out for him. 
 
Bitcoin's 10 minute block was a reasonable time so that slower networks could still participate and not get hosed in transactions.  Sure, transactions are a little slower as a result, but compared to transferring fiat out of a bank, it's a far sight better.  litecoin misses the point, and as a result convolutes and obfuscates new people coming to the bitcoin world.

I bought ammo from rawted, and all was well.

I keep switching between a knight and a commoner, depending on my spending habits 

BFL helped me lose my anal virginity.  Thanks, BFL! 

I got my shipment of ammo (actually a week ago, but I was on vacation - just now got home to see the package)

Thanks Rawted!
