Sorry to hear about your loss. Rule number 1 is to never sell bitcoin using a payment system that can be reversed. I've read too many threads like this. So this is a good reminder, and I hope it will stop someone from doing the same mistake.

Not that I myself am interested in this, but would you be willing to use an escrow for this? Could you provide some proof that you actually have the money? I mean, really, a new account and the payment in three months isn't exactly trustworthy.

Into The Wild (yep, that is the same Into The Wild as the movie, and yes, the book was published before the movie was made). Anyway, the book is about Christopher Johnson McCandles and his life. It tells another story around him and his family, and also a few chapters of the authors (John Krakauer) own thoughts. I loved the book, and it makes you think of what is really important in life.

Why do you have to go and ruin a perfectly good island by creating a government there?
well maybe not a gov like we know it - but we need some members to keep eye on everything make every resident accountable. they all do weekly voting on certain island agenda's. after all it wold be an island of a small population, not a 70 million population country that needs a small committee to be the voice/representation of the many to keep debates controllable and civil. and all bitcoiners would be smart enough to vote using a blockchain. Yeah well. This sounds good What would be a population you think? How many Bitcoin users are here with us? @Bitcointalk we have ~302k registered users, perhaps some of them are no longer visiting Bitcointalk, but ~302k. + those who haven't yet registered @Bitcoin talk - maybe a 1 million? It's like my home city population it is not that small we will have time indeed to keep everything in our hands Our only work will be mining and taking care of the island and other people. One million would be way to much! When I think of a "bitcoin island" I think of a small island with a few thousand inhabitants at most. We would not need a government, digital freedom and privacy would be respected and it would be the digital capital of the world. Direct-democratic of course.

Its far too early for a movie.
Wait 10 years, until Bitcoin has actually done something to transform the world.
-B-
There are movies from the early 90s that talks of a similar way of the internet. All publicity is good publicity (atleast stuff like this). Also the trailer tells of a technology that has enormous potential and not of something that has already transformed the world. Otherwise it could be fun to watch it in 15-20 years or so

Affiliate marketing can earn you quite a lot if you're successful. This guy for example (partly) funds his travels from affiliate marketing: http://www.wanderingearl.com (awesome travel blog BTW) However it takes some time to earn enough to sustain yourself. Another option is PTC sites and spread your referral links, alternatively buy referrals (that requires real investments though). There are numerous of them available. Some sites also has a function called auto-surf, which is exactly what it sounds like, you let your computer watch youtube videos for low amounts of money. However if you have a few computers that otherwise would stand unused (or if you manage to use computers that you don't have the rights to) you could let them do it and manage them from TeamViewer. You could also freelance and write or teach online for money. There are many sites that will help you with that. Good luck!

I just watched the trailer, and I know for sure that I'm definitely going to watch that movie/documentary! Does anyone know if it will be released for free, or if I'll have to buy it?

Because anything that sounds to good to be true has to be a scam. "Digital money and no transaction fees? SCAM!" I have convinced a few friends and family members that it's not a scam, but that took more than one year before they actually stopped looking at it as a scam. Ignorance is also a problem, since most people don't know what bitcoin is and therefore thinks of it as that "internet drug currency" that the media writes about and therefore also has a negative view on it.

And no, the servers would not have enough power to mine bitcoin. The best shot with them would be some alt-coin.

First of all, in many countries around the world it's fully legal to buy and sell sex. In others it's illegal. In Sweden for example it's deemed prostitution if you trade sex for money, alcohol, jewelry or more-or-less anything. (I think that especially the alcohol part is kinda funny since that's what basically happen every friday and saturday night )

That is a really interesting idea! Probably not fully legal, but I don't see why it would not be possible.

Counter arguments hmmm… I know a girl who is currently studying law, and she's kinda nice. So either she has a soul, or she's a really well functioning soul-less psychopath!

i dont think anyone should buy like the bitcoins client i think it should be ran by someone and that someone would have to dedicate a lot to the project like satoshi did
Yep, if it wouldn't have been for people willing to work for free on this project it would have died long ago.

What are you talking about?
|
|

By some reason I don't trust anything that say I can win 0.1 bitcoin on april fools day haha! Do you have any proof that you actually have the money?

And this is why I'm in favor for a comeback for the newbie jail. Seriously, dude, there are hundreds of bitcoin doomsday threads, all created by newbies that then disappears. So fuck you and your bitcoin doomsday friends. I'm so fucking tired of you.

Lol, I laughed reading this. I hope you're not serious..?

I just tell my brain to relax, takes a deep breath and then I'm not stressed anymore. Works in almost all cases.

Lol, it's funny still!
