Saying it with pictures.

*snip*

So it's going to go fully live in November? Does anyone have a link to something that details and explains how it will work in full? Their site and blog only seems to give the bare bones of it. I'm mostly interested in how they will deal with illegal items being sold on there and how will they censor or remove those things. I mean, I don't have a problem with drugs being sold on there but extreme forms of illegal porn and guns would be a no no.

I dont see how anyone has any power to remove or censor any items, i thought that was the whole point?  I should imagine that is a challenge mostly for the authorities to work out new ways to police a completely new trade system.

i'm using kraken very often, i'm looking forward to this, hope they can increase the limit for unverified account in the future, something like 3k per day or 5k along with 25k per month would be great

Think they already did the interview, you can see the live recording here:

Andy Murray v Roger Federer   11/10


Novak Djokovic v Richard Gasquet  12/1

Thats my picks for bets tomorrow, gasquet would probably win 2 out of 10 so odds are good enough for me.  Murray fed could go either way.
864  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Discussion about Wimbledon 2015 on: July 09, 2015, 08:30:34 AM
sadly Wawrinka lost it was a good match even most of us lost money  Grin
both players fought till the end but Gasquet snapped the match , maybe we will recover losses in the semi final
tomorrow we have a great match between Williams and Sharapova , Williams has X1.17 odds now maybe tomorrow this will raise


yes, i lost 2.5btc on wawinka, I didn't wanna bet cos I thought wawrinka would lose and it happened, but the odds was good, 1.46, so I bet heavy on him, IMO wawrinka is very good at clay, but not grass, he can beat djokovic and federer on clay surface, wow next time I won't bet on wawrinka on other surfaces when he plays against good players.

and tonight betting on serena williams will be a right and good choice, she had good performance against sharapova, 17W-2L.  Grin  She should win the match tonight and I hope i can get my some coins back.

Ouch that is a pretty heavy bet i did think it was a close call between wawrinka vs gasquet.  That last set could have gone either way.

Serena defo a good pick to beat sharapova, sharapova is a power player also but serana is better at what they both do.  Might be a chance to get some winnings back.

Wake up you guys its an obvious easy way to scam, you say in chat you will double any tips sent to you, you get a friend or your own 2nd account to send you money and send it/them back double. Suckers fall for it and send their money.

867  Economy / Economics / Re: How much Bitcoin to move to the UK/USA ? on: July 09, 2015, 08:03:42 AM
Depending where you live in the US, cost of living fluctuates. As a rule of thumb, $1,000 USD per month should be enough.

Well, I think it might take more than $1000 if you're moving to England instead of USA. It also depends where OP is moving ,  what kind of apartment he wants to rent, how much will he spend for expenditure, etc. It might take at least 2000 USD for OP in my opinion.

It takes much more than such a small amount to live in the U.S/U.K if you plan to lead an average life too. Homes are costly, you should try for hostels. You could seek help from any friends or relatives in the country otherwise. I would advise you to get a job before shifting, try studying hard and getting quality resume Wink

At the same time just as a point with studying... these mainstream style qualifications are going to become less and less relevant as time goes by.  I would choose very carefully if starting out on study again, you dont want to end up with a ton of debt and a useless degree.  
868  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Coinbase sucks on: July 09, 2015, 07:59:46 AM


Buy bitcoin on Monday, get told I'll receive bitcoin Friday.

Cool, so if the money's in my bank account Wednesday I'm good right

Nope, $34 fee because the money wasn't in my account four days before I'd receive the bitcoin.

Hey coinbase, why don't you take your noses out of the governments asshole for a minute and realize tattle-telling on what people do with their BTC, charging bullshit fees like this, is only going to fuck you over in the end?

You already have a shit reputation for sucking all that government cock, all it's going to take is one single decent competitor to put you assholes out of business.

p.s. your logo sucks cock, muh minimalism, muh facebook.  No self-respecting bitcoiner has any respect for you cunts.

They are the only insured exchange i dont know if that is why you might get a higher fee? dam i just suggested them to a newbie friend for getting into bitcoin, hope they dont get hit with high fees else it puts people off bitcoin to start with.

The title should be: Three Reasons Why You Should Get Every People You Know to Use Bitcoins. Well, I once tried to tell that to my girlfriend, and I ended up carrying her to our bed because she fell asleep because of the terminologies and explanations I told her. However at first she was interested of the decentralized idea, but somehow got bored of different aspects, especially the security-related aspects of the coin.

You need to tell her what things she can buy with bitcoin to get her interest, my girlfriend has actually found a little interest after about 1 year of me trying to get her involved.  She checks her mobile wallet all the time to see if her bitcoin has gone up in value lol.  Best thing to do is give them bitcoin.

I was telling her the things she could possibly buy online if she has bitcoins. I told her that online shopping would be much easier with bitcoins but she didn't want to believe me.  Angry I offered to give her some bitcoins but she insisted that she wouldn't use it nor spend it because she doesn't know how and wouldn't bother to know how. I have a hard-headed girlfriend btw.

Dam i thought i had a hard headed girl friend.  OK so it seems like she doesnt like to be told direct you have to be more clever with her.  Maybe you just need a little more time to go by, like i said it was 1 year until my GF got interested.  My GF likes free stuff and rewards, when the circle $5 giveaway thing came out that is what got her into bitcoin.  I was like oh look you can get $5 if you download this app, she downloaded it and bingo.

872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Discussion about Wimbledon 2015 on: July 08, 2015, 05:13:50 PM
Way too easy for both Federer & Murray today, both through to the semi final where they'll play each other. Easy wins by 3 sets to 0. Gasquet has just taken the 1st set against Wawrinka so that's turning out to be a very intetesting match. Djokovic takes on Cilic today too. The mens competition is really getting interesting now, only top players left now.

I agree with you , all the matches are easy today except Wawrinka vs Gasquet
but this is how sports work in my opinion , interesting odds for both teams or players = interesting matches  Grin
Gasquet is ahead by 1 set , but I think Wawrinka will back and quallify to the semi final
any way we are having an interesting match

Yeah you have to think Wawrinka will turn it around, he's obviously in great form after recently winning the French Open. You can't write him off yet, Djokovic was 2 sets down the other day & still managed to come through. I wouldn't do a live bet on it or anything but I definitely think Wawrinka will still get to the semi final. I want Djokovic to lose to Cilic Wink
Djokovic wont lost to cilic.He has already won the first set.


Nah he probably wont, i dont know what it is but Djokovic is really unappealing and i always want the other guy to win.  Shame on me because he seems one of the nicest blokes out of the lot of them.  Hes just a complete all rounder doesn't excel in any particular department, this i find boring.

Its silly but on the plus side at least the mainstream is now seeing what happens on the internet as worthy of consideration.  Maybe now they will do things like stop the war on drugs since anytime its brought up online 95% agree to end it.

Buy or develop your own time machine and go back to 2008 and mine BTC on the computer at your mothers house in the basement

Dont worry so much about getting rich, its nice to have funds to do things but dont spend all your youth worrying about getting every single bit of money you can.  Chill out work reasonably hard but dont kill yourself. Just enjoy yourself and be socially responsible, the rest falls into place if you are lucky.
875  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is even beneficial to people not using it. ;-> on: July 08, 2015, 04:11:20 PM

So in summary, even if you are not a huge supporter of crypto currencies or decentralized P2P payment methods, you should consider the impact it has on change.

After all, it does give you a alternative option and the freedom to choose.

Let's give Bitcoin the credit it deserve, as a facilitator for change.


Yep totally, its like the same with the file sharing sites bring down the cost of media in general.  Things like youtube offering you free music to play anytime you want and its not blocked.   Who knows how far bitcoin could push traditional systems.  Imagine things as vital as mortgages which currently crush people in debt for most of their life, bitcoin could change the housing market and its not the connection you immediately make.
876  Economy / Economics / Re: [POLL] Bitcoin has actually value ? on: July 08, 2015, 03:37:54 PM
I think bitcoin has value. A real value ....... & u  Huh

Yeah i think it has value because of a mixture of the reasons you state in the poll.  The effort it takes to originally create the bitcoin is just 1 part of the circle of how it gains value.  Its lightweight value and fast, gold is heavyweight value and slow.
877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Discussion about Wimbledon 2015 on: July 08, 2015, 02:15:28 PM
Heres my picks for bets today, these are the best value bets imo not the favs.


N. Djokovic
M. Cilic      9/1
      
S. Wawrinka
R. Gasquet         not much value betting either way
   
A. Murray
Pospisil          24/1
      
R. Federer     1/6 fed think he wins 9 out of 10 times

G. Simon
      

Wow, you are very brave, bet on cilic and pospisil? IMO big 4 will win easily, and no 3-2 in any match, that's will be simpla 3-0 or 3-1.

My score prediction: Murray 3-0 Pospisil,  Djokovic 3-1 cilic, Federer 3-1 Simon, Wawinka 3-1 Gasquet. And i have placed 2500 mbtc bet on murray with 1.05 odds, and Wawrinka with 1.46 odds, IMO wawrinka will give me big profits tonight, let's see, but the match is delayed cos of rain, damn it..

Just outside bets, dont have to put much on with those odds. Though i guess nobody can say for sure i'd guess them @ +ev before the games started - no real way to tell this though.
878  Economy / Economics / Re: How much Bitcoin to move to the UK/USA ? on: July 08, 2015, 01:48:57 PM
Well if you plan to immigrate , go for US. Because the visa system is much more complicated in UK .Also you'd need hell load of pounds to start a fresh living in UK. Start with 2500$ a month in US. I've added an extra margin to your budget since you need to look for affordable accommodation and a decent salary job.

Now I'am definitly confused , I know it's tow different countries but price can't be that different .
WhatTheGox said I need around 5000$ to stay for six months as a start (time to finda job etc ... ) and you are saying that I need 2500$ monthly or I can't live there Shocked as I said I know he was speaking about UK and you are speaking about US but it can't be that different

Yeah $5k or £3000 GBP would be a safe amount to move to UK imo, it really depends.  If i were you i'd try and make some friends if you cant get savings going without a job in wherever and maybe you can go for cheap, stay on the sofa maybe.  I have no idea on current immigration laws remember, or your ability to steal friends sofas for long periods Grin
879  Economy / Economics / Re: How much Bitcoin to move to the UK/USA ? on: July 08, 2015, 01:33:12 PM

Meh, knew i'd get that.  I never said anything about picking any unsafe or unstable country.  Are you saying you'd pick UK if you could choose to be born/live anywhere?

Yup. Lots of culture. Lots of variety. Close to Europe. It's politically stable. There aren't any animals, weather or very many humans who want to kill me. Compared to other European countries, let alone anywhere else, corruption is low and the law might actually work on your behalf if you ever need it. Religion isn't shoved in your face. Water comes out of taps on command and you can drink it too. If my life totally falls apart there's a good chance I'll be housed and prevented from starving.

Within two hours of where I am I can be in London or several other cities or If I'm not in the mood for that I can wander forests, beaches, valleys and not see another soul for the whole day. If I was in rural Nebraska I might see a slightly different shade of corn in that travel time.

I've spent lots of time in the US. I would have to be paid a very substantial amount of money to move there. I've spent lots of time in other EU countries. They've all got their issues too.

A mate of mine used to bitch constantly about the UK. He bitched about it from the luxury of his subsidised house, car and tax credits while his children went to their free schools. He went to India and pretty much licked the runway when he got back.

Compared to almost any other time in human history, life in somewhere like the UK is an unfettered paradise.

Where would you prefer to be?



Just as another point and this may just be a general observation where we are at in human society evolution.....due to UK having a certain level of privilege (other countries might be same/similar) the skills needed for survival/being productive/flourishing can be higher here, the game stakes are higher, if you get me?

If you haven't had a good start in life in UK (parenting/schooling) you are pretty fucked here, you wont compete and you wont be having a "fun life" until you can compete. 

The safety nets in UK aren't as good as we might hope from such a privileged country.  They really aren't that safe due to nuances that come with the safety nets.   I'd never send my kids to a city state school in the UK for example - lamb to slaughter.

UK would be in my TOP 10 picks and you make good points. What i dont like is the media/royals/stuffy political system/stuffy culture/shitty housing market/no space/everyone over worked. The UK people i find fantastical/clueless and far to into our country. Its difficult to actually find someone to talk to who has a decent perspective on life, maybe this is the result of years of too much privilege.  We stand still in the UK change takes ages.

I would probably pick canada or the best of scandinavia above UK to be born, i agree they would still have problems.  To move to.... if i could make a living online so i didnt have to be located anywhere for work and im young... i would move somewhere like thailand or a similar semi stable cheap country.  When young some things matter less, i know brits very happy who have even moved to places like bulgaria, they were over worked in UK and now have retired early, they say its cheap overall, they can get referral to health specialist in a week!.   I would only live somewhere semi stable while i was young enough, live like a king and make money.   When i got older i would likely move to a politically stable country with good health care to live out years and die, UK would be ok at that point depending on state of healthcare at that time.  NHS isn't that great (only good for certain things) you need private care for decent care.
