Pecunix is the best digital currency system. Sidd has always supported PGP and the slightly annoying "PIK" validation system is immune to keylogger trojans.
Generally agreed (well, I think bitcoin is a better system, due to fewer SPOFs). Full automation is possible
Not true, unfortunately. They have a payment receipt (shopping cart) API, but their send-payment API is either disabled or locked down to a select number of "blessed" users. Lack of a generally available send-payment API is pecunix's main technical flaw at this juncture. Yes, true. Full automation is possible. Maybe you just need to ask. |

The mail systems of the Western countries are incredibly reliable with England and Italy being exceptions. You're not kidding! Every month I receive a few letters that should have been delivered to someone else. Here's a 2004 article describing the problems: Royal Mail 'loses 14.4m letters'Having said that, my mail to morpheus has always been received. This cracks me up; The Communications Workers Union blamed underinvestment in the service and training for delivery mistakes. Whatever you do, don't blurt out the ugly truth! |

Oh, while I am ranting away about dumfuk syndrome, I want to rail on some web authors. Here are some fun facts to help get you mind unbound.
1) Only one country in the world calls their postal codes "zip".
2) only 2 countries in the world use a 5 digit numeric format.
3) together these two countries account for less than 5% of the people in the world.
So, when you make a web form that insists on a "zip" code being 5 numbers long, you have broken your form to 95% of the world.
To those who think this is unimportant I say, if you wanted to author for the USA-wide-web, you should have made that left turn at Albuquerque, Bugs, because this here is the WORLD wide web.

Missing mail is rare indeed.
More often is misdirected mail that is delivered or returned very late.
Don't give up on it yet.
I recently had a piece of mail show up 5 months late. Sometimes envelopes get jammed in the line. Once they are torn open, the inspector has to approve the re-packing. That can take months. The key operators make mistakes. Did you know there is a small town in Kansas called Canada? lol I've seen stuff returned for no good reason at all, months later. Very mysterious. On more than one occasion I've had very late mail delivered with cash hanging out or visible in the clear re-packing used by the inspectors after the automated line has chewed up a letter. People sometimes wrap cash up in lumps that will jam the line. Auto mail must be able to roll around a wheel 15 cm in diameter. In Canada and USA the sender can pay for "tray sorting", which is done manually, by affixing double postage. Two stamp mail can therefore have bumps or odd shapes and weigh up to 50 grams. The mail systems of the Western countries are incredibly reliable with England and Italy being exceptions. (The Royal Mail is fixing their problem and Italy north has always been good). In contrast, some national postal systems are worse than a joke. In fact, one I heard recently goes like this, "How do they dispose of toxic waste in Zimbabwe?" A: Put it in the mail. By far and away the biggest problem I see in the mails is the dumfuk syndrome. Many people have become so stupid they can't properly address a letter anymore. |

What about Pecunix? The transaction fees don't seem to be that bad.
pecunix is cool, but its a pain in the ass to setup an account and use it I think the exact opposite -- creating a Pecunix account is free, and all it requires is filling out several HTML form fields. Couldn't be easier. Using the "Payment PIK" is slightly more annoying, but not much so. Pecunix is the best digital currency system. Sidd has always supported PGP and the slightly annoying "PIK" validation system is immune to keylogger trojans. Full automation is possible and the staff are ever vigilant for new scams. Even if Bitcoin goes where we want it to, Pecunix will always be a better store of wealth. We need different kinds of money for different reasons. You can't directly compare Liberty Reserve with Paxum. LR is a digital currency and Paxum is a payment processor. Paxum is a vector for the currency called USD - a national fiat. Liberty Reserve is a privately issued currency, and although it is 'value pegged' to the USD, it is not USD. The legal implication is important to our purpose. I like to explain it this way; You cannot deposit a LR$ to your bank account and you cannot deposit a USD$ to your Liberty Reserve account. When we trade using fiat money, we are contracting with the issuing state. I would rather contract with my friends in Costa Rica than with the evil empire in Washington. This tacit agreement has been a weak point in online payment system and the only ones who can survive are the bitches like Paypal who suck the USD (Uncle Sam Dick). Dirty corrupt systems attract dirty corrupt (mis)users. You really can't compare LR to USD without understanding this important distinction. And then there is Pecunix which is golden! |

Gee Mike, do you have to use the "L" word? ;-)
Are you familiar with 1MDC? I'm familiar with 1MDC. Does L stand for something? I get what you're saying, but miss the reference unless it's simply to "ledger". ... I can't say it for fear of invoking a demon. When I hear the "L" word I tend to cover my ears and loudly chant LA-LA-LA-LA-LA lemur4bitcoin.com - lemurs for all! |

Gee Mike, do you have to use the "L" word? ;-)
Are you familiar with 1MDC? It was an anonymising system for use with e-gold.
Basically it's a ledger on top of a ledger. Trades conducted by 1MDC users became invisible to e-gold because they were trading within the same e-gold account, tracked by a separate ledger.
Mybitcoin accomplishes much the same thing for bitcoin.
Mybitcoin users can trade amongst themselves and the trades never show on the bitcoin network because they are tracked on a separate book.
It was I who coined the term "blister" to describe this shared account, or book on book concept.
A system to obscure trades (blister) from the Liberty Reserve accounts ledger is HDMoney.

PS: about the "L" word. L is defined as structuring a financial transaction to obscure the origin of proceeds of crime. It's not "L" if it's not proceeds of crime. In the federation gone feral, winning a game is now a crime. Fortunately not all humans are subject to that feral fed. So, "L" becomes a matter of what state the winner is subject to - or not. ;-)

Naw, democracy and government is for old farts who brothers to vote. Crony capitalism is just a side show.
The big problem with democracy is the tendency to vote oneself money.
Yeah. Democracy has degenerated into stagecraft. Voting just grants this sham my assent. |

As for the word, "facist", the controlled media has been lying to the US people for so long that not one in a hundred could tell you the definition of the word.
Well I think the origin of "fascist" is that people confuse the current state of affairs and some possible, bleak future. If things keep going the way they are now, it might happen if its citizens become really unhappy and start to riot. In which in an extreme case their government might declare martial law and march the army into the streets. Then it's rightfully "fascist". But until such a thing happens, it's the wrong word. "oligarchy" is the right one. But it doesn't anger people that much  Fascism is government by big business. The "bleak future", "riots", "martial law" stuff are the lies spread by the controlled media. People are fooled mostly because the liars fail to talk about the distinction between wartime and peacetime. They illustrate the organisation of their opposing ideology with wartime images. The power of the press belonging to the owner of the press. Have you ever been shown images of a fascist nation in peacetime? My point was only that the word has lost it's meaning and is now just used as a synonym for bad. I think that was done deliberately by an organised group. Anyway, not to digress to far, I think the advice given the OP to find a landlord who does not do a credit check is best advise. I baited you guys with my one-liner about having multiple persons and got no bites. I meant to suggest using alternate ID. |

What we are seeing is the result of stopping the Paypal fraud. We don't have that crowd of scammers bidding stolen money against each other any longer.
The volumes at all 3 cash auctions are low because folks are hording, hoping for some meteoric rise. We are loosing sight of the objective, being distracted by this fun game we have created.
We need to keep focused on implementing acceptance as far and wide as possible so that btc becomes a better vector to communicate value.
Do us this favour; when you are studying and "playing" the market, devote a tiny slice of your wet CPU to thinking about how to improve bitcoin acceptance.
Last night I tried to buy a case of beer to be delivered in a distant city with bitcoin. The deal failed but I'll make it work soon and be the first bitcoin user, that I know of, to do such a trade.

By definition a "bank" accepts deposits and makes loans at interest.
If an institute does not write loans, it's not a bank, it's a financial services business (FSB).
On the internet we call those services "exchangers" and there are already dozens of them.
If you only want to save your money somewhere safe, we have several trusted bullion banks that are designed to work on-line.
I think this thread is another example of how the language has been warped by the propagandists to hide the truth.

Sallie Mae is a government owned agency, it's possible to "owe" them money without ever agreeing to borrow from them.
How does that happen? (I'm a Canadian, so I have very little understanding of your loan guarantors. Maybe the problem down there is you make them sound so benign: "Fannie Mae", "Freddie Mac", "Sallie Mae". It sounds like a contingent of cousins from across town). It's like CMHC but far more corrupt (imagine that!). One reason the WTC offices were blown up was to hide the evidence of a massive swindle. As for the word, "facist", the controlled media has been lying to the US people for so long that not one in a hundred could tell you the definition of the word. To them it's just become a synonym for bad. |

I mean is this coffee bitcoin only as I want to buy some for Christmas but don't have enough bitcoins yet. So I was gonna look at normal stores if they sell the same brand or from the same company.
I see. Coffee 4 Bitcoin accepts only bitcoin. Not the smartest marketing, but there you go. You know, I've never seen dry process coffee for sale in any store. That's not to say that it never happens, but not in my experience. Coffee is the #2 valued commodity behind oil. Amazing. The first time I heard that I too was skeptical. Coffee really is big business. It's so much less labour to rot the flesh off the beans in water, then pressure wash. To dry process, the cherries have to be sun dried, then beat on and winnowed to remove the dried fruit. I suppose that is why we never see dry process in stores. The price would scare most people away. Still, by far and away the most expensive process for harvesting coffee is the use of small cat like animals called civets. The animals eat the cherries and shit out the beans. Workers collect the beans and hopefully wash them before roasting. Mmmm mmmm good. The stuff costs like $400 a pound! Good news for cat poop coffee fans on a budget, someone has invented an artificial cat intestine and hopes to market pseudo-cat-poop-coffee, presumable for less, but there's nothing like the real thing according to aficionados. |

The goal of this project is to create a better vector for the transmission of value - better money.
We need this better money to conduct our commerce. To trade and create wealth.
Do not horde the bitcoins. Spend them. The have no inherent value, their value is in their utility. To not spend them removes that value.
If you want to horde money with no inherent value, there are lots of bullshit national currencies. If you want to save up and invest in your future, use gold.
Accept the bitcoins for business. Spend the bitcoins for business. We need an economy, not some pretend commodity trading game.
