Good Luck.  (and by the way, feel free to use the Google Voice number publicly, because it has the same spam protection as gmail)  ..don't be afraid to give it out... Hell  I'm 631-503-6010

If I had BTC I'd loan it to you, you probably have more than me already

You guys can do all the magic you want with this "Forum software"

But whoever @ Softlayer is maintaining the server that Bitcointalk.org runs on.... needs to be dragged outside and shot.

Why not invest in some real hardware, you're in the right DC at least.

Its all a moot point with the software, you guys hang like 5 times a day with what.... 500-1000 users at any given time...

3600 BTC?  Jesus, for 36BTC I'll blow your mind with performance.

What the hell is happening around here anyway?

Everyone involved in this thread has no idea about "Bandwidth," (LOL @ Unlimited) "Law Enforcement" (LOL @ Australian Federal Police) and OpenVPN (LOL @ limiting the unlimited bandwidth).

Go to jail?  No.

Server suspended, probably as we speak.

Slap your face for even entertaining this, I can sell you a Bridge over in Brooklyn, its pretty awesome.

...now when the Unlimtied Hard Drives debut.. get me on that list.  I have bitcoins.

Its one of many way that people can successfully identify that you are who you are... They'll only trust you for a loan if they know they can contact you. 

Now take that 352 number of yours and cover a google voice number over it... offer the potential loaners to "give you a call"

Make them feel better, someone will loan it to you without you going through the jive of people calling you a scammer.

Dig?

At this point, we drive him out to a little town called "Montauk Point" in his boxers... and tell him to walk home.  Or he can pay 1BTC per mile to get a ride.

I know people.

I have the MSDN license.  Its available now through MSDN.  So this release is the release that is DUE TO BE on the store shelves in a few weeks.

I'm in the process of testing CampBX now.  Remember, I'm new and have a steep learning curve.
I have recently verified my accounts in DWolla and initiated a deposit today.  (not sure how many days it will take for them to take my money)

I intend on then using CampBX to take it FROM Dwolla.

Again, I'm totally new to all of this so I'm "learning"

The reason I chose CampBX is that they are in Georgia and I have to backup my neighbors

I'm new to GA (From NYC) and I'm new to Bitcoin.  I hope this works...... 

Leave him a voicemail saying "See you at the Carnegie Deli" and just hit him NY Style...

That part of town hasn't seem any action in a few weeks.

I call BS.

It's way too easy to catch this guy.  He thinks the Bitcoin anonymity will protect him/them.  BUT its all the other loopholes of the Technology world that will bust him.

You heard it here first.

Can you confirm how many miles you are from Saint Marys, GA?  (I already know the answer).

Well, this is how I learn,  Perfect.

Even if I misunderstood the OP.

Can I attempt to "dumb this down?"

I think the OP was asking, what if, offline I create a wallet address with 1BbwCCkwWDVJXLojxYpZrtPp8LSSRghisH by just typing it out... better yet, my five year old just bangs on the keys of the computer and she created my new address.  Now I physically hand someone a piece of paper with 1BbwCCkwWDVJXLojxYpZrtPp8LSSRghisH written on it for a fellow bitcoin'er and they send money to that aforementioned address.

For the first time ever, I bring my wallet online and find out that this mysterious wallet address belonged to Jane SMith for the past year, but never knew. 

Did Jain Smith just receive that money?  Is my wallet "Invalid" but "Online with the P2P network?"

Notices to EVERYONE who owns a website...

Not for nothing folks, but here's some bad news.  Captcha stops... NO ONE.

Actually thats a lie.

Captcha stops HUMANS...  these things are impossible to read... especially in the wonderful world of SMF Land.

Either use reCaptcha, with their API, or don't bother at all.

and yes... don't believe the hype.. BOTS can decipher captcha,  its just a waste of time and aggrevating for HUMAN users.

Maybe it was this post that got him in... which is funnier.  Is funnier a word?

Argh, I can't even add a link in my signature?  It's my real business, not bitcoin related LOL

Actually I think I'm still stuck in here too... eh, its like my own Private Idaho.

US State Representative Mark Warden has added a Bitcoin donation system to his campaign Website, marking the first use of the decentralised virtual currency system by a sitting incumbent politician.

---***Sorry, I can only post in the Newbie Forum if a Moderator wants to move this thread***---

I'm testing selling small cheap items on bitmit.net  ...so far in one day it has 23 views, someone who needs a Verizon Wireless Card may want it... plus I'm selling it for LESS than its value.

It might be a route to take if you want to learn transactions and establish a reputation... at least thats what I'm going for.

I'd rather experiment with $30 than $1000 ..but you should look into it.

-James

I saw bitcoin.it and admit I probably didn't look into it that much.

I just now, in between reading threads here, posted a $30 Verizon Prepaid Wireless Card on Bitmit.

I figure I have to start creating a reputation and receiving Bitcoins.  (I get VZW Prepaid cards as well as other mobile providers for free all the time).

If it works I'll sell other cards at like 70 cents for the dollar each as well.  Its all in learning.

Right, I think I should take some time out to learn the exchange side of this endeavor... If I can decide that FIX Protocol would benefit everyone as far as speed and security, then I'll become a Geek again!

All we really did on Wall St was take Tangible Currency and make it Virtual Currency if you think about it.

SO let's do the opposite?
