From a purely offensive type of game with high goals
To a bout of 0 to 0 matches and low goals
The world cup sure is moving around I wonder if this one will also become a scoreless game

Considering
Since it uses AM chips and pending a FC confirmation this is worth a serious consideration

Fine I nominate we change the saying
To the Moon to become Colonizing the Moon with Digital Currency  Cool
And the potential to revolutionize everything.

To The Moon for Short  Grin
7944  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Mt. Gox - probably the result of a “massive theft” according to court papers on: June 17, 2014, 10:37:31 PM
Mtgox coins were lost in the script somewhere but I think they recovered some of them.
Anyways Keeples is still in trouble Smiley

Mt. Gox in February sought court protection in Japan after losing 850,000 bitcoins, then valued at about $473 million. Customers lost about 750,000 and Mt. Gox lost about 100,000 of its own. The company later found 200,000 in an old-format digital wallet.

So there is still something to claim

Wow I just received a beautiful explanation by BFL on why I got banned from their forum...



LOL... Now tell me they don't just give a fuck about their customers!

I cannot count how many times I was banned from the BFL Forums. Consider it a badge of honor.

That is an impressive way to say
We hear what your saying but were not going to say why your not allowed to hang out here.
Congrats on getting that badge though BFL badge of honor indeed.

There is another topic on this
But more than one on the topic doesn't hurt so yes I think it could be a possibility
Countries that are weak in the international financial system may look to diversify their holdings to a basket not controlled by a central banking system or subject to heavy rules in order to get more money for their economy at the cost of their citizens needs (World Bank)
So there is room for Bitcoin here Smiley

Hasn't Argentina defaulted a few times now
Or am I mixing it up with another state nope looks at the link and thinks their is a place called the Foreign Debt Museum
That said it looks like these bonds will become Junk soon
7948  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My boyfriend's first Bitcoin purchase: an ice cream sandwich on: June 17, 2014, 11:03:54 AM
To be honest when I read Ice cream sandwhich
I was thinking ha-ha this is going to be an Android Phone ain't it
But I was pleasantly surprised I hope he enjoyed it Smiley

LOL! We are huge Apple fanatics, so you would never see an Android ANYTHING in our household!  Grin

So relieved that Apple has lifted the ban on Bitcoin apps, because we were really dreading the possibility of having to switch to Android just to get a native Bitcoin wallet app.

I feel for you on that one unless you had a working app you couldn't get a new bitcoin app
There was a bit of a bypass though in that you could get it in the unofficial app store but its much nicer to get it on the main ecosystem as well
No need to shoot those poor phones with snipers for a Nexus 5 ^_^

Thanks for sharing now I know who was the camerawomen behind the other vids as well Smiley

My boyfriend Scott was very excited about making his first Bitcoin purchase at the New York Bitcoin Fair this weekend, so he made this entertaining video:

Enjoy! Smiley

p.s. I can also confirm that the ice cream sandwich was DELICIOUS!! Smiley

To be honest when I read Ice cream sandwhich
I was thinking ha-ha this is going to be an Android Phone ain't it

I knew I recognized that face remembers those videos cool beans ^_^

Well if you look at the original article the Bitcoinfoundation put out you can see that they still are concerned with it
Perhaps not afraid but concerned

That's neat it provides the convenience of not having to carry a large amount of cash out of the casino with you
Just convert it to Bitcoins put in the QR code and leave without a concern

Anyways as waldox mentioned you can get a debit card with Cavirtex that you can use anywhere so its like cash
Only a matter of time till we get Bitcoin Slot machines and instead of credits you can play with Bitcoins and send the remaining balance to cash XD
Or send it to yourself for that micropenny hehe
7953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would be your SR auction bid? on: June 15, 2014, 07:07:36 PM
If I wanted to be certain I would win would go for 725 dollars a coin
The extra 25 dollars being the buffer between everyone else saying 700 is the high
Of course if we all knew in advance it would be a live auction not a silent auction
7954  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Who the hell is still mining on GHash.IO? GTFO that pool already!!! on: June 15, 2014, 04:36:21 AM
It looks like the recent Distributed Denial of Service attack on the system got some miners moving
That or the site was down for me
https://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=24hrs

Seems to be down to 35% hope that it stays around there and does not happen to rise up again

I'm pretty new to all of this and was just wondering... like how do I know downloading any given wallet isn't going to give someone access to my files or install malware or something on my computer?

There is a list of wallets you can use
The Best Wallet is Bitcoin Core but there are different ones you can use as well

7956  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Whats the cheapest 1th miner selling from stock now? on: June 15, 2014, 04:28:16 AM
There are also the Chips for Asicminers BE 200 Series
That is more of a DIY project but it may be worth your while if you want to make your own miners

I've heard Smoothie made a bet or two on Litecoin and made quite the killing
So I would say that they are old and sometimes pessimistic.
(Also Smoothie has a litecointalk account as well Smiley )

Quite the bull to me

7958  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sending coins for neighborhoods to be more silent on: June 15, 2014, 04:20:57 AM
Sometimes you have neighborhoods that do unwanted noises. Could be musical instrument they are trying to learn, DIY constructions or pure noise. Maybe they could have address for tips for less noise.

How does it sound? Similar ideas?

How would that work please be quiet I'll tip you 5 dollars
Then the next day they will do it again to earn 5 bucks

Seems to be a bit off for me, might want to try installing sound proof buffers in your house or a quiet room
Anyways its summer its noisy since there is only 3 to 4 months before cooping up in the house again for Winter lol.

That said I like Franky's noise premium fee, but it should be refundable every month if no issues arise.
7959  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Calling all Bitcoiners: SPEAK OUT against CIRCLE! on: June 15, 2014, 04:18:05 AM
What is wrong with Circle to my knowledge they are just a payment processor for smartphones
Insert converter and send
Simply put they are a service not anything more or less and help with merchant adoption

Some people do not like the fact that Circle would act like a "bank" in that users would send coins to their account and then circle would encourage users to send money to other circle users in an off blochchain fashion.

As of now Circle does not plan on having any fees and to my knowledge do not plan on lending your coins that you deposit (operating on a fractional reserve)

I see thanks for clarifying that in that case as long as they do not run a fractional reserve with the Bitcoins and have the capital and fiat to cover the ones they hold in their possession there should be no problem.

That said I guess a reserve if they somehow do get hacked might be needed, it has a lot of capital as a company so that shouldn't be a problem
The problems would occur if they declare bankruptcy with their fiat end.

For me circle makes it possible for a few people who don't get Bitcoin to use it as well and they take a niche market and help to push it further into mainstream.
7960  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Group buy for the silkroad auction on: June 15, 2014, 03:11:09 AM
I am not sure if they will allow representative parties to bid
That said if someone made a 200K deposit on behalf of a group of parties and entered the auction it may be possible to resell them to the ones who wanted these coins.
They would need proof that they are an official bidder in the auction though.
