Show me the source of where you got my "name" even though that isn't my name.

You got me congrats but im still not that weed growing guy, i swear. now time to change my i.p delete my twitter change my steam account delete my google account, delete my bitcoin account and this account

Hah good point.

THAT'S NOT MY NAME I PROMISE

...

Welp, you found me out. But I don't grow weed.

...

Yeah right. Oops, not good to have your name floating around the internet while you're growing MJ. At least not in Florida.

And they claim weed doesn't affect the mind.

Here's a story my nephew relayed a couple weeks ago: (paraphrased)

...When the driver saw the red flashing lights, he jumped into the back seat because he didn't have a driver's license. Then we crashed into a ditch. We were arrested and my bond was $1,500 of which I had to pay $350 to get outta jail. The weed wasn't mind. I was just holding it for somebody. I haven't smoked for months.

Me: Did you bail anybody else outta jail?

Him: No. Just me.

Me: Then was was the bond amount 20% + fee and not 10% + fee?

Him: I don't know. That's what they told me that I had to pay.

<Fast forward to yesterday>

Nephew: I don't have any money because I had to bail out me and my friend outta jail two weeks ago like I told you then.

Me: You said...

Him: (All of a sudden starts yelling) NO I DIDN'T SAY THAT! WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH?

His mother/my sister: That's what you said, (called my name)!

Him: Fuck you all! (and leaves)

See what happens to people who take drugs? They become liars... or worse. For you see that my nephew hasn't worked for awhile now, yet always seems to have money for cigarettes, weed, gas, and food at restaurants. And, BTW, he's not a drug dealer. That only leaves one course of action to obtain money: By stealing shit! And his favorite place to fence the loot...wait for it...the pawn shops. Now tell me his brain ain't fried.

Huzzah! In reference to my earlier posts about ASI Conserva Chile, our bitcoin donation button is up and running on our website. You can view it in the upper-right corner of any of our "Who are we" (Quienes Somos) web pages: http://www.asiconservachile.org/ I'm talking to the webmaster to ensure that the button is available for viewing from all of our pages. Just a small fix.

Given that ASI Conserva Chile is not a U.S.-based non-profit, we just went with what I personally use, Coinbase. However, if you highly recommend Bitpay, I'll make the switch.

Please let me know your thoughts!

And thank you! We really appreciate your consideration.

Looks to me like Bitcoin 100 got themselves another NPO to add to their list. I'm sure there shouldn't be a problem once Rassah and edd do a quick review.

If anybody has any extra bitcents lying around, feel free to sent some their way. Take a look at their website and see where they placed the Bitcoin donation button. I think you'll like its placement.

~Bruno K~

The placement of the button is nice but WTF??? I wanted to send $2 their way and the thing askes me to send exactly one bitcoin??? For an anonymous donation that's a bit steep. The wording "send exaclty" sounds like if I send less, Coinbase will just hide it from them and "try to settle this with me" and if I send more, they will just keep that and try to settle with me again?? Donations should not have a minimum or otherwise exact amount.

This criticism is for Coinbase, not for ASI Conserva Chile though. I'm glad to see some bitcoins flow to Chile and sad that actually they don't flow to Chile thanx to coinbase Sad
ASI Conserva is there no techy among your organisation that promises to buy those coins and sell or not sell them on the Chilean market? I'm in Viña and would offer to help out and I know in Santiago trading Bitcoins is not really much of a problem.

Edit: Coinbase stinks. Either they just got 10 bug reports or zero. The input allows me to enter 0.05, the radio buttons once selected don't allow me to unselect either 5 or 10 but the payment request is 1BTC regardless of what i click above. Sorry but Coinbase seams to be busy counting millions rather than to implement some decent interface.

Thanks, giszmo, for bringing this glitch to everybody's attention. It may be prudent to have this issue resolved before Bitcoin 100 moves forward with any action. I'm sure it'll be addressed to all concerns' satisfaction. I will PM Nonprofit, linking them to this post.

...where all things dreamt up by Cosmo Kramer can be experienced. (not a real place--yet!)

Kramer's other inventions and ideas

A pizzeria where you make your own pizza pie. ("Male-Unbonding") It falters because of a dispute between Kramer and Poppie over whether cucumbers can be pizza toppings ("The Couch").
Installing a garbage disposal as the drain in his shower, so that he can prepare vegetables while showering ("The Apology").
Redoing his entire apartment in imitation wood wallpaper - "It's wood, Jerry." ("The Junior Mint").
Redecorating his apartment with the set of The Merv Griffin Show ("The Merv Griffin Show").
Adding a screen door outside his apartment front door ("The Serenity Now").
Using the homeless to pull rickshaws in New York City ("The Bookstore").
Reversing the peephole in his apartment front door so he can see inside to see if someone is waiting to ambush him with a sock full of pennies, something that happens to another character at the end of the episode ("The Reverse Peephole").
Taking half of Jerry's food and inserting I.O.U.'s in a nearby jar ("The Seven").
Owning his own chicken to obtain fresh eggs. He later discovers that the chicken is really a rooster and trains him to become a cock fighter ("The Little Jerry").
Saving his blood in a refrigerator ("The Blood").
Joining Newman who re-attempts an original (and refined) idea by Kramer, using a mail truck to take cans to a Michigan recycling plant, where the bottle deposit return is worth 10¢, as opposed to New York's 5¢ ("The Bottle Deposit").
Getting rid of his refrigerator so that he will only eat fresh food ("The Soup").
Placing oil in a giant rubber bladder to prevent oil spills. However, during the test of the giant ball of oil at Play Now, it falls on the unsuspecting head of Jerry's girlfriend, after which he complacently remarks, "Well, that didn't work." He then has the idea to put Ketchup and Mustard in the same bottle. ("The Voice")
A small statue of Jerry made of fusilli pasta (because he's silly), a macaroni statue of Bette Midler (Macaroni Midler), and a ravioli statue of George (presumably "ravioli George"). All pastas "capture the essence" of their respective personae. ("The Fusilli Jerry", "The Understudy", seen in the background of his apartment in various preceding episodes).
A cologne that smells of the beach, an idea eventually stolen by Calvin Klein. ("The Pez Dispenser" and "The Pick")
Blacking out the divider stripes on two of the lanes in a four-lane highway to make it more "luxurious." ("The Pothole")
A brassiere for men. ("The Doorman", later mentioned in "The Fusilli Jerry") Kramer and Frank Costanza dream this up as a business partnership. It never happens because they strongly disagree over the name for this product: Kramer wants to call it the "Bro", Mr. Costanza wants to call it the "Manssiere".
A necktie dispenser to replace dirty ones("The Stock Tip")
Vowing to only wear clothes which were fresh out of the dryer. He ends up baking the clothes in the oven, having run out of quarters for the machine. ("The Calzone")
Adding wooden levels to his apartment to create space and eliminate furniture. Seen in both ("The Pony Remark") and in the pilot which Jerry and George create for NBC.
A restaurant that serves only peanut-butter and jelly, called PB and J's. ("The Friars Club")
A book called "Astonishing Tales of the Sea." ("The Andrea Doria")

But if it were a real place, Kramer would have the bright idea of only accepting Bitcoin as payment on the premises.

I lived there six seasons playing poker and advantageous slots.

I was there when Vegas hosted the NCAA finals when a myriad of killings occurred and the casinos lost money because the demographics of the patrons arrived with empty pockets. The city's police force prepared two years for the event.

Ironically, the following week was some Nascar race, bringing to the city a completely different class of people--Rednecks. No police prep (to speak of) and no killings. Also, the casinos made out like a bandit, making up for the previous week's lost.

I was also in Biloxi during Black Spring Break. The sport of choice was flash mobbing businesses. Needless to say the staff at the registers weren't busy. Walmart was their favorite target. Again, the casino lost money, yet the city was packed with wall-to-wall people--literally.

BFL are scammers. I thought that was clear already?

Clear to some from the get-go. I've just finished reading several threads on BFL's forum, and it looks like it's becoming clear to a slew of BFL's formal loyal investors.

At of all the missteps that BFL has done in the past, categorically enforcing their "All sales are final!" policy is probably their worst.

They could have quietly given everybody who asked for a refund their money back and they would have been in better position than they are in now.

Several folks over there are threatening to contact the FTC, and I'm sure that's the last thing Sonny Boy wants prior to his probation ending this September. I predict a raid of some sorts on their facility no later than the end of August, right after Jody officially retires.

How the fuck Sonny is getting away with selling Lottery systems on his Webspawner site is beyond me.

And when the raid happens, I'm sure they confiscate all of Sonny's step-dad's equipment as well since it's his name, supposedly, on the Wyoming SoS inc. documents.

I'm not sure how many miners were sold, but do the math:

Iff full production consist of 400 units a day, then that equates to only 12,000 units a month. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the total amount of units sold supposedly close to 60K? And this figure is base upon not a single glitch. Realistically, we're looking at the spring of 2014 before all current pre-orders are filled, not counting any orders placed from here on out.

Camp BFL and their investors are so screwed. Mark my words.

All sales are final at this point. We are in full production, thus your orders are final.

If you've filed a complaint with the FTC, then there's nothing I can do, you'll have to follow up with the FTC from here on out, as no one here can assist you with that. Please be sure to direct all correspondence to them in the future going forward.

Pick one:

  • Fully Custom
  • Full Production
  • Full of Shit

Pretend for a second your a newbie to Bitcoin, and the first thing you find is BFL and BT running BFL ads. You see Josh's comments. What are the chances of you ever revisiting Bitcoin again? What are the chances of you have a positive thing to say about Bitcoin when sometime in the future a buddy of yours mentions Bitcoin?

I think it'll be safe to state that your comments will all be negative, all based upon you discovering Josh's/BFL's line of bullshit first.

So sad!

Why even post about this? We all no gambling leads to nothing good.

You are correct: All gambling leads to nothing good. But we're taking about poker, and when poker's played correctly, no gambling is involved except, that is, to be a profitable player there must be a pool of fish (read gamblers).

Craps is gambling, unless there's a mechanic rolling the dice.
Roulette is gambling, unless the croupier is performing his duty incorrectly.
Blackjack is gambling, unless one counts cards coupled with the rules are more favorable to the player.
Slots is gambling, unless theirs a visible bank (pool) left my the tourist, thus becoming an advantage play.
100%+ payout on video poker is but extinct.
Sports betting is beatable.
Running a lottery outta of Costa Rica is profitable till you caught and are forced to pay a $100 fine. Perhaps, if it was a $200 fine, Sonny wouldn't be doing the same thing all over again on his WebSpawner site. But I digress.

Locked both threads while waiting for theymos to decide what to do with him.
I can't ban him outright without deleting ALL his posts one by one, so we have to wait for theymos to deal with it, even if his solution is something like disallowing such threads instead of "punishing" him.

Hey, psy, I like you, but I believe disallowing such threads may not be the solution. I'm sure theymos will resolve the issue in an acceptable manner.

It is now legal to play online poker if you're located within the state's borders.

Bishop ~ SQL ~ Squall ~ Sudden violent winds; often accompanied by precipitation.

The verb becomes a noun.

I was more playing at the correlation between how an SQL Injection works and the "sidestepping" the bishop does.

But i found the perfect way to express this.

SQVL

Pronounced...?

Squeevil.  Cheesy
