8701  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Please help get bitcoins accepted at Freelancer on: June 08, 2013, 04:43:55 PM
I have sent an e-mail to Freelancer.com requesting that they accept bitcoins considering they serve nations all over the world and have to convert currencies all the time in order to pay people. Being able to pay someone or get paid in bitcoins would be a great step forward for people to be able to get off of their government currencies.

Please contact them and let them know how useful it would be to be able to get paid in bitcoins or to pay people in bitcoins.

http://www.freelancer.com/info/contact-us.php


I do realize that there have been bitcoin services similar to freelancer in the past but the amount of projects or developers is fairly sparse.

And if freelancer accepted bitcoins, you could point anyone who wanted to make a few BTC to that site with so many ways to make money.


Edit:
The canned response I received was:

This is the end of bitcoin. Sell it all. The cheaper the better...for reasons I can only explain in a few banking days.

Could we take the peanut allergy debate to another thread? The guy just lost his kid brother, he has some hard days ahead of him.

I work on a military base in Afghanistan. We get bombs lobbed at us about every other day.

We know that there is not much to worry about because statistically, you are not likely to get hit.

The US has been hit by terrorist attacks what...once every 10 years or so (maybe once every 5 years in the UK)? In a population of hundreds of millions?

Statistically terrorism should not even be a glimmer of a miniscule thought on your mind.

Unfortunately, statistically I am more likely to get raped out here than hit by a bomb. That is something I do worry about.

I drove a Porsche 911 and had to finally get rid of it because of the cost of repairs.

It is not that it is unreliable, it is that the mechanics know you can afford to pay out the a$$. And they are few and far between in a small town with not many Porsches.

Lamborghini is probably similar. You would be paying for a vehicle to drive to go out for the evening, but keep a commuter car.

I would buy a Tesla for that much money. They kick ass.

Sorry to hear that man. It is the worst feeling in the world to lose a loved one. Just remember the good times and always keep him in your heart.

The only thing that can help is time.

The ideal location would be Chile, cheap land in a country which is on the rise.

Already underway.

It is already underway.

OP had to duplicate threads because people called him out too much in his other thread on how bad his idea is.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=216139.0

Quote
We will be writing a town constitution

Quote
we will be allowing people to sell or rent out their plots

Quote
we will be voting on what the land can be used/sold for

Quote
Anyone with no project plans will be lumped together to make a giant plot to rent out for air balloon landings

Quote
Housing won't have any restrictions except for height

Quote
And the person will go to jail, or whatever is decided as punishment

Quote
a town where no one pays taxes

Quote
the prison is paid YOUR taxes based on how many beds it fills

Quote
we could even try to use town funds to buy a private island

Quote
One of those places should start getting government funding, and start housing families & Veterans.

Quote
The libraries should have public printing machines to promote free speech.

Quote
There should also be a publishing program

Quote
We need to have better welfare for regular citizens and veterans

Quote
The government needs to provide for those people

Computers...everyone should have one no matter how poor. TVs too.

Quote
You only get a Earthship if you want a FREE house

Quote
we will eventually build a radio studio in town

Quote
Exercise programs in the town square every morning.

Quote
we could get a good educational program going and maybe even start our own university

Quote
We would eventually get a bus, then start a fleet

Quote
But once we got enough communal town funds we could work on that.

Quote
We actually hope to make a local restaurant and turn it into a national franchise

Quote
we would need a state of the art medical facility

Quote
The police, health, fire and other government departments should also utilize these programs to earn extra income by creating "cops" like programs, which will also keep them honest since they have viewers.

Quote
We also hope to open a hatchery, and make a lake if we don't start with one.

Quote
we need to go to each church and offer them contracts to not be churches any more

Quote
we find churches that need funding, and pay them to be "community centers"

Quote
opening a non-denominational church in town

Quote
This will be the local religion

Quote
church employees can get a government salary

Quote
We will have plenty of local holidays over time

Quote
There needs to be people that come to every party and bring free food or at least drinks/alcohol

Quote
You need to gather for a reason, not just because it's the weekend or you want to party

Quote
all a community has to work towards is developing shops, housing and eventually public buildings

Quote
I even believe that animals should be liberated and humans should be taught to communicate through body language with animals

Quote
The only way a plant can talk is with its chemicals (ex Poison: Don't touch/eat me) Learn to communicate on a level deeper than speech.

Quote
Everyone would have a machine that they repaired, or checked on.

Quote
you pay for the electricity, you mine the coins, but you give some shit away for free

Quote
Candy Contest, have people make home made candy and have a contest. And it could fit in well with Halloween in the square.

Quote
Classrooms should utilize programs like AdSense and Bitcoin mining. Parents and kids should have to sign a waiver saying that students CAN use their cell phones, cameras and other devices in the classrooms of teachers that deem it acceptable.

Quote
I am working on plenty of Charitable projects

Quote
New Mexico has awesome laws

Quote
Drug dealers would be arrested.

Quote
Manufacturing & Selling cocaine isn't a victimless crime. And neither is prostitution.

Quote
it's illegal to manufacture guns

Quote
I plan on hiding nothing and cooperating (with police) whenever asked.

Quote
We will just have to defend the guy in court

Quote
we can start a political party based on the towns philosophy

Quote
You have to work if you want a share of communal food

Quote
we will not have ongoing outside programs inside our town

Quote
It would be child friendly, we even allow children to vote if they want.

Quote
Education will be non traditional...They will still have the traditional subjects, but they won't be taught like lectures so much.

Quote
We will have a program for children and adults that will work towards creating all kinds of community projects

Quote
We will make dirt bikes legal.

Quote
I would be the one that got tax forms and everything I already plan on that
(for the $2 million land purchase)

Quote

I have plans for a space program. And the creation of a non-territorial nation.


tl;dr
Quote
I've been in court for weed my whole life, but now I have a medical card for it.

Sounds like we need a Mechanical Turk for bitcoin.


Design and implement one and I will pay you .05 BTC.

8717  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: GBSB - a new way to GET and SPEND bitcoins on: June 05, 2013, 08:47:15 PM
Quite cool...I had this idea a while back and wondered why nobody was doing it.

Interesting enough, BitSpend got blocked from buying from Amazon for doing a pass through from Bitcoin to Amazon purchases.

This may be a good solution having it more decentralized.

You could easily do what BitSpend does in a p2p way like this for all websites. Just cut the profit with the buyers.

I would help test but I do not have a prime account. And I cannot think of anything I need on Amazon very soon.
8718  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Worldwar 3 and EMP bombs on: June 05, 2013, 07:49:44 PM
Somehow, I think thats going to be least of our worries.


The issue is that most of our infrastructure is computerized. There will no power and most important no communication. 

In one small part of the world.

Bitcoin is global.
8719  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Worldwar 3 and EMP bombs on: June 05, 2013, 07:48:50 PM
As long as my debit card still works. Or I can go to an ATM and get my money out of the bank I will be fine.
8720  Economy / Speculation / Re: One day, holding one bitcoin will make you a millionaire. on: June 05, 2013, 06:42:42 PM
When Bitcoin is worth a million dollars I plan on using mine to buy a loaf of bread.
