Haha oh my god. Tell that mother fucker if he is going to smoke weed on a daily basis then he better stop inhaling all those nasty fucking chemicals and moldy weeds! Of course he throwing up especially if smoking that dirt in anything bigger than a pipe its guaranteed yack every well sized hit! I seen a mo fucka fill a bong wit some mexican shwagg budz and the smoke was dark yellow/brown yall! Thats not all natural I can tell you that shit. Anyone who decides they are going to use marijuana like nicotine addicts use tobacco, GROW YOUR OWN or get it from someone who doesnt lie/knows their shit. For this problem I would just talk to him, like "Hey man I know you like smoking ur weeds and all, but could you please do it inside, sometime I hear you throwing up in the yards and I start throwing up then my wife ect. Also, I have smelled your weeds and thrown up instantly before. Tis not good for my health, I would advise you to stop yourself, but If not please go inside buddy, I'll give you .1 next time I get some" haha Idk worth a shot, Snitches are bitches, but sometimes the police are necessary, this is a situation I would say the police should not be necessary.

 Huh Huh Huh

True, I hadn't thought of that. Well then, let the FUD engine march forward.

Isn't Gumtree just Australia's version of Craigslist? Why would they care? What were you trying to sell? Sex for Bitcoins maybe.

So I'm reading their patent claim:

Imagine paying for some product in a transaction directly with the seller that doesn’t include a costly third-party fee or the revelation of a personal account number — the current components that comprise credit card and debit card purchases. Imagine this system with a “real-time digital exchange of value.” And imagine that you can archive all the transactions in a personal digital wallet, with its own “Internet Pay Anyone (IPA)” account and inherent safeguards built-in, something that you could call “Virtual Private Lockbox (VPL),” according to JPMorgan’s patent.

Imagine you can archive all transactions in a personal wallet, with its own Internet Pay Anyone account? That's BITCOIN! How could they get away with this?

They can do it because the USA has no gravity. It just sucks so hard it keeps everybody down.

Bitcoin is an investment choice of a comic cynical, burnt out, drug addicted, porn addicted, sex addicted smoker that makes some of the worst business decisions on television. The writers of the show must hate Bitcoin. They are subliminally telling the audience how bad Bitcoin is as an investment. Stay away from anything Krusty touches because you will fail like he does. I'm not convinced all publicity is good. Publicity can also turn something into a public joke.

Sinead O’Connor on October 3, 1992 appeared on Saturday Night Live. As part of her live performance, she held up a picture of the Pope, said “Fight the real enemy!” and then tore the picture (the action was a reference to the child sex abuse scandals then being experienced by the Catholic church).  The backlash was severe, and her career was basically destroyed.

A couple are sitting on a sofa together and the guy slowly moves his hand down grabbing the girls knee. He then slowly starts moving his hand upward toward her inner thigh when all of the sudden she grabs his hand and says, "I've never done anything like this before!"  The guy looks her in the eye with a puzzled stare and said, "Really, I was talking to your son earlier today and he says you have."

Es fácil de entender lo que dice. Todo lo que tienes que hacer es utilizar un programa de traducción en línea creo que es súper fácil de hacer.

Well, to be fair, google translate (for example) does do a good job at it. Still, I'm not sure it adds much to the thread to bring Spanish into a discussion about how many people either don't know how to spell, or are using different rules.  Tongue

Many people on this forum are not native English speakers. They may not use the language perfectly but at least they try. There are also many children here that don't attempt to use perfect written communication. They are at a disadvantage because they were schooled in the USA.

You may need to explain to them that they can use a payment processor like BitPay to remove any concern about the exchange rate and receiving payment in fiat. This is a good idea. I'll help.
7393  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: List of Major Bitcoin Heists, Thefts, Hacks, Scams, and Losses on: December 12, 2013, 06:46:46 PM
Thank you for posting this work! So far I understand BTC is more traceable in the chain than cash in global circulation. What's to be done to improve security?

Security is a personal thing like it is with cash. You don't ask what can be done to a dollar bill to make it more secure in your wallet. Just don't carry very many in your wallet at once in case you lose it.

Thank you, I understand that 'eggs in a basket', I was really trying to understand the 3-way security used like escrow, I don't understand it properly. I have a lot of application for this if I can understand it?

Oh, I don't think most of these scams happened because of failure to use escrow.  The people that were scammed sent their coin to a service and the service didn't secure it or failed to properly secure their wallet. Here's a method for securing your wallet if you need one. https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com

As far as using escrow, there are fairly simple ways of doing it being developed. Not all of them are completed projects.

7394  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advertise Bitcoin? Centralization has its benefits. on: December 12, 2013, 06:04:47 PM
As a maker of advertisements this is of interest to me. I have been in the television and radio advertising business creating video and audio spots and have created print ads for newspaper and magazines. I now make signage and vehicle graphics and I do my part to make sure business owners know about bitcoin. I also accept it in my store.
It is not prohibitively expensive to place ads in these mediums and a kickstarter like fund to accomplish this task I think is a fantastic idea.

It would be hard to organize, I but it might pay off.

Things to look at:

Which country to start advertising in (which one will have the most impact compared to the costs of advertising)
What is our target audience (the time you send a message, and the channel you transmit on matter with price and target audience)
What is the expected price needed
What will we say in the advertisements to draw attention to people
Will we draw attention to a specific website, and if so, will we build that website from the ground up?

Etc.

Those are good questions and I used them in the OP. I hope you don't mind.

I thought of one other reason to advertise. Governments are currently attempting to create legislation worldwide to regulate Bitcoin. Swaying public opinion is the best way to ensure positive legislation that will be conducive to business. Elected officials are less likely to bring the hammer down on something the people want. If they do they're committing political suicide.

I don't think that bitcoin need advertisement at all. It's not a credit card company or something and it's not actually competing with anything.
People will learn about it sooner or later.

Just the opposite. It's competing with everything from Western Union to government fiat and it has a lot of enemies. You're right about one thing, people will learn about it sooner or later. Would you rather that introduction be positive or negative?

How exactly is competing with western union or government fiat? Is western union or government fiat a decentralized payments network, a protocol and a currency?

Western Union sends money long distance - Bitcoin does it faster and cheaper. Cash allows the instant transfer of value between individuals - Bitcoin does it easier, does not require a suitcase to transfer enormous sums and removes the need for government involvement. Bitcoin has the ability to replace and improve many systems so it naturally will be copied and hated.

So are cars competing with airplanes? Because you use both to travel distances...
One thing that bitcoin will not replace ever is fiat money. Like email didn't replaced traditional mail and like news sites didn't replaced news papers. in fact some of the biggest news sites are now owned by traditional media.

Great, I'm glad Bitcoin has no competition. It should have no problem taking over the world then and no one will fight it.

we can make our own advertisements, we can write open letter to companies and such.

That's a good idea. Personalized advertising does work but not quite as well as broadcast media. I quickly dismiss people that knock on my door to sell me something but a will sit in my livingroom and let commercials bomb my psyche all night long and do nothing about it. Broadcast media has a proven track record of changing behavior and perceptions.

It wasn't the government advertising.  A group of people were fed up with the church getting recognition in government, when few people attend church anymore. They raised a lot of money for adverts.

Anyway, I dont know about other countries, but people in the UK are seriously fed up with the banks, and the rich bankers.  So an advertising campaign to get Brits interested in Bitcoin, could pay for itself in extra trade volume.

"Hit the bankers where it hurts..... use Bitcoin"

Oh, I thought you meant the government did it. That's really great. Sounds like finance is as important to people in the UK as it is to us. It might be worth it to get some of the UK businesses to donate to a campaign then.
