I guess we will

Though they have been pulling the order at the end of the day, and then putting up the bid again in the a.m.


Seen that from some Fidelity investors who have their bids cancelled at the end of the trading day and have to re-do them in the am.

I happen to think we can do better than Gavin's idea.  I like the idea of trying to come up with a solution that works with the blockchain and adapts over time instead of relying on Gavin, or NL or whomever.  The answer should be in the blockchain.

I have sent a PM requesting BTC payout if possible. You'll save on Fedex fees, I'll save on converting it back to BTC.


Edit: I'm not even legally allowed to send you Bitcoin as a refund, as that constitutes money transmission which I'm guilty of. I can only refund you in the way you paid which is why I offered to FedEx a bank check.

Rawted, he can't send it in BTC.

Lose vs Loose

A lot of people are mixing up lose and loose. In particular, a lot of people are writing loose when they really mean lose. Here are the definitions of the two words from my Penguin dictionary:

loose [lOOs] adj not fastened or pre-packed; not tied up or confined; able to move freely; not tight, not firmly fixed; not close-fitting; careless, inaccurate, vague; dissolute, immoral; not closely woven; flabby; (of bowels) inclined to diarrhoea; l. box stable or van in which an animal can move about; at a l. end uncertain what to do next; unoccupied ~ loose adv in a loose way; play fast and l. behave rashly or unscupulously ~ loose n release; on the l. free from restraint; on a spree; ~ loose v/t untie, undo; release from confinement or constraint, set free; detatch; fire (gun); shoot (arrow); (eccles) absolve.

lose (p/t and p/part lost) [lOOz] v/t and i no longer have; be deprived of by accident or misfortune; mislay, fail to find; fail to get or win; be too late for; be bereaved of; waste; be defeated or beaten; suffer loss, become worse off; fail to hear, see or understand; cause or allow to perish; (of clock or watch) go too slowly; (refl) miss the right path; become absorbed in; l. one's head become flustered, panic; l. one's temper grow angry; l. one's way fail to find the right path; l. out (US) be defeated after a struggle.

Examples:

   This knot is too loose.
   Please do not lose my book.
   I had better not lose that file.
   many BTC owners are facing the prospect of selling their BTC for a loss

The science of physics is an attempt to understand All of Reality, which is generally considered to be an even larger set of phenomena than your description of economics  Wink

Are you suggesting that since we can never really understand All of Reality, that no 'hard science' of physics can exist, and that such a purported 'hard science' of physics can't have any predictive power or utility?

Physics does not want to understand all the universe.  It only wants to understands how its parts work, and generally limits itself to the smallest and simplest parts.

Phisicists may study the behavior of isolated atoms of generic bonds between atoms, but if you ask them to predict what a dozen atoms will do when they get together, they will tell you "sorry that's Chemistry, not Phisics".  Ditto if you want to predict tomorrow's weather, create a better strain of wheat, cook a good meal, pick up a girl at the bar...

And even the simplest "economic atoms" are already way more complicated than a tropical storm...

You may want to ask an Astronomer which department they belong to.  Think that's not complex?

LoL how do I vote on this, there isn't any button... the fuck?



You're a newbie by forum activity.  Most polls on this forum do not allow users below a certain level vote.  I am also a newbie and see what you see.  There is likely an option to open it up to all users, but I am not certain of that either.

$120 for a wallet?  And it requires specific hardware set up.  Doesn't really solve 1 of the 3 problems I mentioned without adding to it.  Try again. 

I'm not saying these things aren't coming down the pipe, I'm saying that as of today, the seamless way of getting BTC, managing a wallet and then using BTC is not yet here.  There is a setup cost that non-technical people just won't pay to get rolling with it.  It just has to be simpler for the masses.  I think Bitcoin will get there, and sooner rather than later.

Everyone and their hairdresser is now aware of bitcoin...

I ask at least one cab driver every week whether they have ever heard of bitcoin, and have done for the past year.  Keep in mind that these people are overwhelmingly recent immigrants who make regular remittances to family overseas, a first-order use case for bitcoin, which would save them as much as 10% on transfers of thousands of dollars each year.

Exactly one has ever heard of bitcoin.


Regular Joe wont go to bitcoin because of fear to be hacked. Unless one will create way to keep bitcoins safe from bad guys and easy system how to pay for goods and services, mainstreamers will stay away from BTC. Myself I'm tech guy and even I cannot sleep at night because of fear being hacked. Imagine someone not that techy, family with kids who use that computer to play games, install screensavers with all the viruses and keylogers. I dont see adoption without 100% security solution.

Fear of being hacked.  An easy to use and nearly unhackable wallet.  An easy to use and nearly unhackable means of obtaining bitcoin.  These are all still hurdles for the regular joe.  I had a 50 year old programmer co-worker on coinbase, trying to set up an account so he could start buying BTC.  The process was long enough and complicated enough that he got bored and put his money he was going to buy BTC with into a semi-legal online poker site.  Yes, he wasn't the guy that was going to send us to tha moon, but if someone who is technical can't figure out one of the currently easiest means of getting BTC, a non-technical person still has no shot.  Those things need to come out from the companies doing that work, and then we will see greater adoption rates.

I wonder why I can never reply to any of the polls.  I always see the poll with the votes, but I never get to answer Sad

I've always assumed it is due to newbie status.  I think higher 'ranked' status folks get to vote.  Limits polls from alts and such.

It's amazing how many people will say, "That's stupid" and "Will never happen to me."  Go read the scam accusations forum, it's littered with, "I was stupid..." and "This never happens to me..." 

Read the article again, clearly he is still a proponent of BTC, and seems to have gone out of his way to make sure the article wasn't a negative piece on BTC. He's also keenly aware of the mistake: “My mistake was paying money (in the form of the digital bitcoins) first, which exposed me to more risk,” he said.

Given the sensational nature of media, this could have been written with BTC in a much poorer light.

I'm confused by some of the replies in this thread.  Wouldn't most of you, particularly the guy, not BAC, who's a coin seller WANT this to sell for as much as possible as it would help his business out too?  Wouldn't that not only set a market price but help further legitimize the collectibles market?
17  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is the fastest way to deposit money to buy bitcoins? on: November 27, 2013, 01:12:52 AM
It's not shady, it's actually to protect you and them from fraud.  Given the recent price jumps, the idea of getting money in and out before someone could even verify that you legitimately have funds in the original account is too tempting for scammers.

The easiest way is something like coinbase.  I just bought my first tiny bit of bitcoin through there and they verified my bank account pretty quickly.  Some banks have faster verifications than others.  At least that way, you can get locked in at a price while waiting for the trading account to get verified.
