41  Economy / Goods / [WTS] 1990 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL only 119,000 kms on: September 12, 2012, 03:00:20 AM
Gorgeous grey convertible in excellent condition. Comes with hardtop, power soft top, power heated seats, power headrests/windows/locks/mirrors (including rearview mirror), cruise control, AMG replica rims, leather seats.  Very powerful 5 litre V8 engine 322 hp when new. 

I have owned this car since I imported it from Japan in September 1996.  Maintained at local independent European specialist shop.  A/C does not work, needs front shocks.  Other than that it is a beauty.






BTC900 or make an offer

Will deliver within 300 kms of Toronto, Ontario.  PM for delivery beyond that.

43  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Iceland to dump their currency for the Canadian dollar? on: March 03, 2012, 10:00:12 PM
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/economy/currencies/canadian-envoy-to-iceland-sparks-loonie-controversy/article2356634/page1/


If they're willing to give up control over their currency, why not switch to bitcoin?  Do they really want the Canadian government setting their monetary policy?

Come on Icelanders, get lobbying your gov't to use BTC!
44  Bitcoin / Pools / Pay to mine? on: January 21, 2012, 12:31:30 PM
Why would a pool operator have zero fee, or even pay me to mine?
45  Other / Politics & Society / An economics primer for politicians on: January 15, 2012, 06:37:58 PM
Can someone recommend a clearly-written, succinct book on economics that would be suitable for the average middle-of-the-road municipal politician?

Something that can explain in everyday language, to a person who may not be prepared to hear the truth, that government intervention in any market (ex: housing) inevitably leads to a unforeseen consequences and a lower standard of living for all.

Something that can wake-up a meddling 'progressive' to the fact that their do-gooderism is making more misery for all of us.

Suggestions?
46  Economy / Currency exchange / Canadian arbitrage opportunity on: January 09, 2012, 04:05:04 AM
Quite a spread at the moment between Cavirtex and Mtgox, with fair-sized volume on the Cavirtex ASK. 
47  Economy / Currency exchange / Best exchange to use for Japan residents? on: November 05, 2011, 12:05:39 PM
What exchange is easiest, and cheapest for bank transfers, if you're living in Japan?

I would have thought Mtgox would have been best, but I can't find any fee details on their website for Japan.
48  Bitcoin / Project Development / Bitventory.com: anyone discussing this? on: November 04, 2011, 03:48:05 AM
I can't find any discussion of bitventory.com around here.  Not worthy?

49  Bitcoin / Project Development / [IDEA] bitcoin-enabled parking 'meters' on: October 18, 2011, 01:56:45 AM
1. Stick a QR code on the side of the currently existing parking meter
2. After parking your car you scan the QR code.  You are taken to the website for that parking spot which tells you if there is any 'time' left on the spot from the previous occupant.  You pay for any additional time you need then go about your business.
3. If Lovely Rita meter maid comes along she scans the QR code to see if any time is left on the spot.

Benefits:
-bitcoin is ideal for such micropayments
-municipality doesn't need to go around as often to collect coins
-thieves have less incentive to break into the meter
-setup cost to the municipality are very low: some stickers on already existing posts
-since the transaction size is so small there is no need to wait for confirmation

For cities that no longer use traditional meters there would need to be workarounds, for example numbered parking spots with the related QR code on the side of the payment station.

As a side benefit, in a world where everybody was paying for parking with bitcoin, you would now be able to visit a website and find a vacant parking spot, or at least one that isn't being paid for.  This would also reduce enforcement costs as Lovely Rita would know what spots to target before she even leaves her office.

Am I missing anything on the technical side?  Is this a worthwhile idea?
50  Economy / Services / Earn bitcoin by typing this document into Word on: October 16, 2011, 03:36:52 AM
I need this repair manual in an editable format.

MS Word works for me, but if you have another suggestion I'm all ears.

Tell me how much it will cost me and when you can have the finished product delivered.

Came across this on zerohedge tonight.  Check out the close today and the close exactly three years ago.

 Shocked
52  Economy / Currency exchange / Has anyone successfully withdrawn USD or BTC from Mtgox since September 22? on: September 29, 2011, 01:13:48 AM
Around that time many accounts seem to have been put on hold, mine included.  Despite my sending in the requested documentation the account is still frozen for withdrawls (I can still trade however).


Have you been able to withdraw USD or BTC from your MtGox account?

Have you been able to get it unfrozen, if it was frozen at this time?
53  Local / Trading und Spekulation / German->English translation and document preparation job on: September 28, 2011, 01:25:20 PM
I am looking for price quotes to have this document replicated in English, both as a PDF and as an html page.  I would like it to look as close to the original as reasonably possible, price wise.
I would like it to use the same page layout, spacing and page numbering, but without the Alpina logos, parts images and other pictures.  Just leave a blank space where those things appear in the original.

Post or message me a PDF of page 3 as an example of your translation work.

Prefer to pay in bitcoin.

Anybody know why cavirtex.com has gone offline? 
55  Other / Off-topic / Atlas and kiba, MIA? on: September 05, 2011, 09:06:43 PM
I've been around these forums for awhile and just realized I haven't seen hide-nor-hair of Atlas or kiba, two big posters, for some time.

In fact it appears that Atlas has no posts since April.  That can't be possible.  And all my private messages from him have disappeared as well.

And kiba, never short of words, hasn't even logged on in September?

Maybe they've all cashed out and moved to that libertarian seasteading project we've been hearing about.

57  Economy / Goods / WTB - iPad on: August 03, 2011, 04:23:48 PM
I'm looking for an iPad in good condition, preferably 3G but not a requirement.

Looking to spend 25 to 40 btc depending on configuration and condition.

Preference given to Canadian sellers due to shipping hassles.

59  Other / Off-topic / The Stanley Cup vs. Bitcoin on: June 15, 2011, 11:06:56 PM
I'm a glass half full kind of guy, so bitcoin is going to $100 but the Cup is going to Boston.
