I'm pro open source lol I don't normally get new shit unless it's genuinely better or I'm forced to.

It's only Black Friday and everything is beginning to slow the fuck down, I'm trying to order things for my work including a bunch of nice shiny oval gemstones for you guys to buy and the website just isn't working. I'm probably going to hate Christmas more than usual these days because it's going to get in the way of absolutely everything, some of us have fucking work to do you know! >_<

Yeah, it may be great to do massive discounts and get tons of customers in but if you don't even make sure your website can handle the volume then what's the fucking point of doing it?

Yeah, because you totally aren't trying to take advantage of people who don't understand the system so you can break up 1 Bitcoin and spend that instead of having to spend whole ones.

Yeah but my point is if your open about it and people already know it's kind of a wasted exercise to begin with isn't it?

That seems needlessly complicated, I'd rather just do pay what you want or price it cheap, I think that might be the best option, I think what I'll do is while the manga is ongoing I'll do the pay what you want option and then when it either finishes or gets halfway there I'll let them purchase a discount pack ( Kind of like what valve do with steam games ) and let people buy in bulk as proper customers, that way I won't have to risk pissing off customers early on by accidentally charging too much for 1 volume.

I'm also going to put up the manga in it's early stages on Bittorrent so hopefully when the manga is about to end and I release the pack there will already be enough interest to buy it.

Pay what you want seems to be the answer

That sounds a lot like the pay what you want model Krona Rev, which may well be the best option in the case of manga at least, I couldn't do it with physical products because they always tend have materials and labour cost associated with them, I think I'll come up with something now, we'll see what happens.

Wait, you're right lol the dollar is getting hyperinflated but Bitcoin is remaining the same and becoming more valuable with more purchasing power.... Oh fuck me lol I still have a lot to learn the thing is, I don't know whether Bitcoin is going to stay like this and 0.005BTC is going to become a small amount again so I'm going to have to think things over carefully.


I really hate that idea and I'm sick of people who obsess over trying to glorify fractions of Bitcoin, I will always price my coins the normal way, if people are so easily driven away by reading decimals they can go some place else. Oh and LOL at you jballs for calling paper money stable at these prices, I'd actually like to measure Gold/Silver against Bitcoin but there are even less people doing that for now.

I made this thread precisely because paper money is unstable as fuck and I'm not sure what to do yet, the thing is I always calculate very pessimistically, I have no idea how many sales I could get from my short manga, never mind the Jewellery as I increase the stock of everything.

I'll just have to try and see what works won't I? This is the problem with the internet, you have no idea what the hell is going to happen.

So I'm at a dilemma, I'm currently working on a short manga and I want to price it cheaply $3 - $5 at most but there's this problem when you want to deal purely in crypto where most people in my view incorrectly keep trying to price everything in paper. We all know that the Bitcoin price is a result of hyperinflation to the max rather than Bitcoin actually being worth anything ( Now that it's easily slaughtered the $1000 mark I think Bitcoin will keep going to $5000 ) so how are merchants supposed to price things? Do we suck it up for now and push the prices in Bitcoin lower and lower knowing they'll readjust later on after paper money collapses or do we ignore paper money right away and just price things in crypto so that we don't suffer losses?

As for those neo-keynesians out there who I know are lurking the board, this isn't a problem with Bitcoin being deflationary, this is a problem with paper money being inflated so much that 1 Bitcoin is now going to be worth several thousand and people just haven't realised it yet so they're cashing out thinking they're going to be rich.

Let me know what you guys think I should do because I am struggling at the moment, one thing I was talking with people about was taking the price hit and trading mainly in altcoins because people connect them to Bitcoin rather than the dollar so maybe that's a short term solution for all this inflation going on, people will be more willing to trade with them because they don't feel the need to cash them out for paper or they don't think they're worth as much as Bitcoins.

Discovering alternate economic theory, without it I wouldn't have realised there were other things out there, there are always options to everything in the world.

When you have Bitcoin the world is a pound shop thanks to paper inflation, why take part in Black Friday at all?

Well it may not be a big deal to us open minded people but when it comes to religious people it will completely stun them because they genuinely believe their leaders' bullshit about abstinence and no sex before marriage etc. we may know better but religious people have had it knocked into their heads at an early age that their leaders are incorruptible and always right usually by their own parents.

Lesbian BDSM for me all the way guys, I also like to watch hentai if it's kinky enough especially if it involves girl on girl action.

Oh wait, were we serious?

Banks and paper money in general seems to be extremely difficult to earn, partly because the fees and costs for setting up anything is ridiculous, meanwhile even I'm making small chunks of cash in Bitcoin and I'm close to being able to make a steady stream because of how easy it is to conduct international trade. I like to diversify so this question is a bit irrelevant to me but if I had a bank like the old ones that were run by Austrian economists and backed by Gold/Silver I wouldn't mind so much keeping money there.

Banks have dug their own graves by making lives extremely difficult for people to conduct business when that is the only way they make money, the same goes for any person I've seen attack Bitcoin, they're just forcing people to come up with an alternative.

That's really funny actually because it could easily work, however they're going to have to come up with something for those of us who are openly perverted like me

China benefits too much from trade to go to war they basically own the U.S through the government debt as well as other countries which is why they can get any kind of deal they like despite being 'evil communists' I think this seems a lot like the kind of rhetoric we saw from Iran awhile back as well, it must be because their leaders don't want to appear weak so they're doing a lot of posing to scare people. I think in truth like most people in the World the Japanese and Chinese themselves don't give a fuck and just want to leave each other alone, it's only the dickwaving douchebags in power that ever want to wage war with each other.

This reminds me so much of Butterfly Labs you guys are aware of hydrogen fuel cells right?

Gaming Marathon, but I was going to do that anyway.

I know better than to have a bet with members of the Bitcoin community lol
