The blockchain is public. For example, I know the lowest unique bid right now is 0.001 BTC. What this means is that I can just check what is the lowest unique bid is, 10 seconds before the deadline is over.

He's declined my btc proposal and i dont personally own an mtgox account to generate the code. Proposals anyone? I'm not hiding anything but people are getting the wrong ideas for a situation pending settlement on the complainer's behalf. I've already got some random guy in irc calling me a scammer for currency I dont deal in. This thread has made me vulnerable and people are already taking advantage.
Just follow through your initial deal, or return his original MTGOXUSD in full. That should be fair enough for both parties.
Yeah. He's not asking for anything unfair like late fees. Send him the USD and Bitcoins to make up for the fees.

7284  Economy / Economics / Re: Annual Gross Income and Currency Debasement on: December 17, 2012, 08:40:54 AM
Roughly, how much per cent of the Annual Gross Income value does a State rip in currency debasement? I mean, how the two values can be related, roughly, just to have an idea.

I assume by "a State" you really mean "a private monopoly of currency creators". 

The traditional way to answer your question is to use the numbers helpfully given to us by the private monopoly of currency creators, such as M3. 

Of course it changes quite a bit from place to place and time to time.  The last 100 years have put a nice average of somewhere around 7% annually, leading to the lose-half-your-purchaing-power-every-10-years rule of thumb that we have come to expect. 

Unfortunately however, there's no real way to answer your question with certainty except to wait a very very long time indeed and see how much you can buy with your old currency.   




Isn't inflation like 3%, and inflation is supposed to represent buying power?

That's a very freaky "coincidence".


And it's probably a coincidence. Remember, coincidences happen.
7286  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Want to pay NO income tax? Cut welfare. on: December 17, 2012, 08:15:20 AM
Do many of you realize that welfare in the United States has the following:

  • Lifetime limit to amount of time spent on welfare
  • classes and other requirements
  • Paperwork, checkins, and child safety classes
  • Inability to turn down work
To top it off, the amount of money given for welfare is not that much.

Here in Oregon a family of 4 will receive roughly $700-$800/mo in cash assistance and $350/mo in foodstamps.

They are not allowed to save up money to stave off a disaster, have limits to personal property, and other limitations.

The cost of housing sits (after a quick scan of local listings) at $1,000/mo for a 3 bedroom house. Well, that's unaffordable. How about something cheaper?

I found ONE place that was a 3 bedroom for $550/mo, in a bad part of town, that was a mobile home in a lot. (Everything else that was 3-bedroom was at least $650/mo) That leaves roughly $200 to cover: Electricity, car insurance, phone, natural gas, gasoline for the car.

So, let's assume that someone gets an $8/hr job (seasonal, meaning they'll only be employed for a short period of time), working 32 hours a week (so their employers don't have to pay full time benefits according to state regulation), and using a tank of gas every two weeks to get there. (Public transportation is next to useless for most people) They'll be making $256/week, spending that $56 on gas every two weeks.

So, before taxes, they'll be pulling in $1024/mo.

The concept of "welfare queens" and "living high on welfare" is a fallacy. Nobody WANTS to sit on public assistance. You have no mobility, you have next to no money for anything beyond the basic sustenance, and you're scrabbling harder than if you had a minimum wage job.

Sadly, many employers are now using the part-time to avoid paying benefits (can't get in the way of record profits and shareholder profits), meaning either both parents will have to work (meaning possible child-care costs and even two cars and the additional upkeep costs), or one parent will have to hold down two jobs.

Welfare, food stamps, HUD, and other social safety nets are vitally important to a nation's well-being, and considering the screwed up taxation of the most wealthy parts of the nation, the lack of employee safety-nets, the loss of unions (at least they made sure you HAD a damn job), and many other problems, removing welfare is a horrible thing.
In australia, a single person will get $1,000 a month through New Start Allowance. Partners will get $1,800 a month.

Meanwhile, the current government is seeking to expand this.

In USA, Income taxes have been created in 1913, the same year the FED has been created.

7292  Economy / Securities / Re: [GLBSE] PureMining: Infinite-term, deterministic mining bond on: December 17, 2012, 03:40:07 AM
I've been looking for a payment plan that simultaneously doesn't cause

1. Uunnecessary delays to confirmed bondholders,
2. Monetary loss to yet unconfirmed bondholders,
3. Monetary loss to me, or
4. An organizational mess.

I eventually came up with the following:

I will pay the coupons to confirmed bondholders on a roughly weekly cycle. Blocks for which this was paid will be denoted "partial" at http://bitcoinpuremining.com/.

"Partial" will at any point in time designate a specific amount of paid bonds, which this thread will be updated with.

Every new confirmed bondholder will be paid retroactively the partially paid coupons, and the number of paid bonds will be adjusted accordingly.

At some unspecified future point in time, all unclaimed bonds will be donated to charity and retroactively paid, and the corresponding blocks will be designated as fully paid.


With this in mind, I have paid 0.0034117507 BTC per bond for blocks 209663 to 212015, a total of 49.61709105 BTC to 14543 bonds. This is transaction 2b7e8173010182e8d32a28eb87aed5769b90d75d3a50b547b6dbb089163a8b94.

Some addresses have been changed at the request of the owners.

I am buying PureMining bonds for 0.05 BTC each. Considering ASICs are going to hit the market and the low liquidity due to the GLBSE shutdown, this is a great offer.

Opportunity International discriminates against men when giving loans. I don't think this is a good charity choice.
