I hope the South Carolina State Police time their arrival directly with the drawing.

................................

You are such an asshole. You act like I intended to break the law. I had no idea a website of this such was illegal. Raffles are held all the time in sc. The only time there is a problem is when raffles are done for cash and all I was doing was raffling physical items. Anyways the website is in the process of being taken down and anyone that post or pm me their confirmation id and a address to return btc to can have a refund. I don't see why you are so concerned with what I do anyways. Have a good day and fuck you Smiley

.....................................

Actually, greyhawk was probably just echoing what I stated, so if anybody's an asshole and should fuck off, it's me, but you wisely opted to not vent your vitriol toward me for you're probably smart enough to know what the end result would be.

To be fair, I honest;y believe, and will take you for your word, that you truly didn't know that conducting a raffle in SC as you had it set up was illegal. In fact, either did I--until I Googled it. It's amazing what one could find via Google, don't you think?

......................................

what the end result would be? LOL. You act like you have some black mail or something on me. Its crazy how you went through all this when I was trying to simply help you. I sent you a PM asking if you would like for my website to donate funds to your charity because someone stated on one of my threads that you would be a good charity to donate to. And now you are threatening me like I've done something wrong and you even went to the extreme of searching to see if my website was legal or not? Then followed my post to terrorize anything I put up. I know not to help anyone out in the community anymore Wink How do I go from offering to help someones charity then being terrorize? Grow up

..........................................

I find it ironic that you're telling a 53 year old guy to grow up when you've stated on your profile that you're 23, then changed it to 213 shortly after replying to me via PM that you're 20 when, in fact, you're only 17. Speaking of which, how were you able to get a Mt Gox and Coinbase account at said age since you've claimed to used both services? On two separate sites, you state your birthday to be in February on one, and in June (July) on another. Either way, that'll make you 16 when you joined said services, at the very least Mt Gox in that regard.

You reached out to me when somebody mentioned in your thread about Sean's Outpost and not Bitcoin 100. I opted to not commit on that thread because I was already aware about your background. Maybe you were hoping I would reply to help give your raffle site cred, but when I didn't, you perhaps took the incentive to contact me, whereupon I played you, having no intent on backing your endeavor, though I honestly did see it as a viable entity, albeit running in the wrong jurisdiction and by the wrong guy. That's not saying that I wanted to take it from underneath you, for that wasn't my intent then nor now.

During our PM exchanges, you sent me two images of yourself. One consisting of you surrounded by girls that you use on your Twitter account and claimed it was a model shoot, when in fact it's just a high school picture. The other, you claimed was taken at your friends wedding, when in fact it's your prom picture with your girlfriend that's about two years your senior.

Now, would you like to play some more, whereupon if you desire, you'll be throwing any scholarship you may have earned while playing high school football out the window? Be careful when deciding, for I'm sure that some people who've traded with you in the past would love to have the opportunity to seek redemption due to their soured trades.

The ball's now in your hands, but if continue to drive down field to try to score on this drive, you'll be met by my fellow comrades anticipating and impeding your every more--and some of them guys don't like playing touch, opting to tackle even after the whistle's blown.

..........................................................

Only thing you got me on is my age. I would never put out my true identity on any website. I was contacting you about seans outpost, not bitcoin 100. I only pm'd you because on the thread I said I would contact the people they said would be good charitys. I have no idea what bitcoin 100 is but I guess I should have stated that I was contacting you about seans outpost in the pm instead of just labeling it as a charity. My age is 18 and that is how I have those accounts. I actually am a model for two companies thank you very much. That picture sent was from a earlier shoot and I can post more pictures from the shoot to prove me point if wanted. The only reason I lied about my age is bc who would take a 18 year old serious? Instead of trying to "trick" me and attack me you should have been upfront in the beginning. All I was simply doing was asking to donate funds to you. I never asked for you to post about my website nor put anything about my site on your site. So basically attacked me because I simply lied about my age on my website?? Brilliant. I knew something was up when you asked for images of ME to allow me to donate to your charity but I went along with it to see what you were planning. You didn't "exploit" me in anyway. You only proved that I lied about my age. I have no idea why you were so determined to destroy my website and what I was doing. I didnt know lying about your age was such a crime?? And who would have thought attempting to bring something new to the btc community that was fun and had a chance to win big items for cheap plus gave back to charity would have caused so much drama. If you would like to be the mature 53 year old please pm me with why exactly you felt the need to attack me just for simply lying about my age? That I don't get at all. I never once asked for you to do me a favor.

Looks to me like Andrew has taken too many tackles to head while playing high school football. He can't seem to remember how old he is.

Andrew TK Boynton's Birthday Timeline:

23 (as first posted in his profile on this forum--not a crime, for many do it)
213 (changed after our PM exchanges--we'll call this one humor)
20 (which he claimed to be via a PM to me--not sure why the ruse here)
18 (of which he now claims--refuting my claims)
17 (proof, of which I offered up above--no way his gf would state it incorrectly)

To be clear, lying about ones age is not a crime, but conducting commerce/trades claiming to use the services of Mt Gox and Coinbase, of which don't allow anybody under the age of 18 to have an account clearly dictates that something's afoot.

I've yet to link to others who've conducted trades that've gone sour, but I'm saving that play for when Andrew's fourth and long.
304  Other / Off-topic / <Serious Topic> Where have all the birds gone? on: October 27, 2013, 05:24:51 AM
Six days ago I witnessed a flock of hawks (~two dozen count) gliding over the house. At first, I thought they were crows till I saw that they were gliding. Coming back from NW Illinois Friday I saw only one bird: a hawk with red plumage around its neck.

For the past three days, there have not been a single bird in our yard, and we toss out bread and scraps daily to feed them. The stuff hasn't been touched. I witnessed a squirrel pick up a piece of bread and take a nibble, then discard it, assuming they're stuff from all the walnuts.

Today, I traveled to Bollingbrook to visit the IKEA store (talk about putting lipstick on a pig, their shit sucks, but went there with a lady friend who swears by the place--another story). The only birds I saws were about three dozen geese on a pond and a flock of twenty geese near the Des Plaines River. Not a single sparrow, blackbird, robin (they may migrate this time of year--not sure), dove, crow, etc., was seen. Of all the ponds and lakes I passes, not another goose was seen, even though every year each and every pond would have hundreds of geese on those waters.

Googling "dead birds" or simply "bird" via News results nothing.

Has anybody else seen no or low amount of birds the pass few days? My sister confirms that she hasn't seen any in the past couple days since she hits the hay when the sun comes up and normally hears and sees them out the windows of the three season porch facing the street here in Sandwich, Illinois.

Odd!

One more thing: The common grey squirrels here are about 3/4 their normal size as I've seen years past.

A flash mob (or flashmob)[1] is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression.

The Target: Some (any) bank located adjacent to a high automobile traffic area.

Time: About a hour (at most) prior to when the bank opens.

Can you imagine the ripple effects via social medias by those witnessing several hundred people standing in line in front of a bank prior to its schedule opening, especially if many of them are holding signs? Signs of what? Funny you should asks. Half with images of cats, and the other half of geese with the word "Honk" on them.

Ideally, two hours prior to the bank opening would just about guarantee social, then mainstream media exposure.

What happens when the bank opens? They walk in and welcome themselves to the free candy, then walk out. Every 20-30 person refills the candy the dish.

If/when the actual media arrives with cameras/producers in tow and start asking questions of those in line, they would all be instructed to say "no comment" and "talk to the organizer". When asked where is the organizer, they point across the street whereupon there's a sharply dressed man holding a sign that simply reads "WHY?" When approached with questions, the media will be taken aback when he replys only in...wait for it...Klingon.
307  Bitcoin / Project Development / BOUNTY ~ Bruno's Micro Pizzeria seeks Logo on: October 23, 2013, 09:39:59 PM
Current main thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316296.0

The domain is http://brunosmicropizzeria.com/ I'm in the process of configuring the theme now, so don't be freaked out by the lack of content.

I will pay out $50 USD via Bitcoin at the end of a 7-10 day (max) period to the person of whose design I personal like the most. I will also commission the winner to tighten up the logo to my liking at close to the prevailing rate for such work.

I will refrain from commenting on submissions to not influence future submissions by others, thus giving them an unfair advantage.

I will answer any questions via this thread or PM when asked. Please PM me if you publically ask a question so that I can address it in a more timely manner.

If the completed logo incorporates design elements, sans colors and font styles/sizes, gleaned from other submissions, I will also pay any of those contributors $25 USD via Bitcoin.

You may submit more than one design.

Feel free to incorporate: a caricature of my likeness; resized Yap stones/money of which a micro pizza in depicted in the center; the term "Actual Size.

Inspired by this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=315236.0 (and others in the past), I brainfarted https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=315236.msg3388446#msg3388446.

I'll have a prototype baked later today, for I'm about to head to the store to get the ingredients.

The ultimate goal is to make the first ever 4mm diameter pizza, then make more for sale via Bitcoin only to be the first commercially available smallest pizza in the world produced in Sandwich, Illinois (how ironic).

Mainly a novelty item, but no harm if eaten when first received.

The following are the comments I've made on the other thread:

Thank's, OP! Now the alts are getting into the act. This 5mm X 7mm gem was inspired by the record books and has the best chance to overtake the leading pizza protocol.



Quote
I don't even care how much you like pizza. No one could eat that all to yourself and still like pizza.

Whereas my Micro Pizzas wouldn't fill you up and you'll ask for more.

Since it's snowing outside and I'm inspired by this thread and Jacob's creation, I'm going to the store to purchase the ingredients and bake a prototype micro pizza measuring 4mm X 4mm. It'll be a supreme with sausage, beef, mushroom, black olive, peppers, and onions, not counting the sauce and mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.

Iff it comes out according to plan, I will be selling them at cost and shipping only, solely paid for via Bitcoin. I already have a domain/brand name in mind if these come out as I envision. They will be edible, but would probably have more value as a conversation piece.

I'm not sure how I'm going to cut the dough yet, but an exacto knife comes to mind if square. Round would need some type of punch where the dough won't stick. Full production would be easy, for specially designed trays holding X pies during the building then baking process would be on hand, then simply tipping over the tray having them all flop out.

After I complete the prototype later today, I'll pen a dedicated thread outlining the results and plan.

hahaha - this thread makes clear how many people live in the MidWest US. Seriously, guys - you need to live near Italians. I don't even like Italians - Italian neighbors are always loud and obnoxious, too many experiences for it to be an anomaly - but when it comes to meats and pasta, they're unmatched (though Greeks and Turks do some damn fine things with meats).

That horrible 80% fat frozen pepperoni crap would be banned by the governments if they could do anything productive. It doesn't belong on a pizza, or anything. It's not even fuckin' Italian - go get some capicola - the gabagool! That's a meat you put on a pizza. That's a meat for sandwiches, for everything -- pepperoni, though? For a disliked neighbor's pet.

Damn you, Kluge! If this brainfart of mine takes off, thanks to your post I'll have to have several lines to satisfy the international market, albeit (brand name)'s Supreme would still be the original.

One problem solved! I'll cook the pizzas on a tray inside these:

And the shit is sticking.

Last year, I didn't see snow till the second week of January and the grass was still green. The first measurable amount fell in the latter part of January. I used one bag of salt last winter of which I purchased two winters prior when I used twenty. The year in between I used about five bags.

You guys don't know how hard it is to steal barn wood with snow on the ground, therefore pre-order with your requests allowing two weeks or more for delivery. I accept bank transfers and bitcoins only, and will no longer honor refunds due to those hedging their investment as the BWI (Barn Wood Index) fluctuates wildly.

317  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / The Ultimate Bitcoin Mashup on: October 09, 2013, 03:24:49 AM
<Started thread here under innovations.>

First mentioned here, but believe this community would offer up better input, along with gaining more traction. There's more than enough time to bring this idea to fruition, albeit it's best to get started ASAP.

I was restricted on Reddit due to not being able to embed images of which this endeavor needs to help visualize the idea.

Imagine, if you will, taking the following concept to another level...


First Bitcoin Vending Machine

By taking one of these...


Antique Coke Machine

Retrofitted by these guys...


Rick's Restoration

Showcasing the process on...


American Restoration

Aired on...


The History Channel

To be completed just in time for...


CES2014

The retro Coke machine will be Bitcoin accepted only and disperse only one 8 oz product...


8 oz Glass Coca Cola Bottles Only

After serving its purpose at CES2014, the Coca Cola Bitcoin machine will be on permanent display at...


From BitPay's CES booth to their Atlanta Office

Bitpay's main office is in Atlanta, home of...


The World of Coca-Cola, is a permanent exhibition featuring the history of The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta, GA.

The following is copied and pasted from my Reddit post, of which I may have taken the liberty and edited.

........................................................................

American Restoration is an American reality television series airing on the History channel and is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. I'm pretty sure that Rick's Restoration has never built/restored anything that would/could be displayed at CES since all their restorations are mainly of the vintage type, and I'm gambling (no pun intended) that they (Rick's Restoration and the History Channel) would simply love to have that unique exposure.

In case those reading this far is at a lost as to what the final result would be, in a nutshell, BitPay would commission Rick's Restoration of American Restoration to take the oldest (vintage) Coca Cola machine they have at their facility and convert it to a Bitcoin accepted only vending machine that disperses 8oz glass bottles of Coke, since the 6oz are no longer produced.

The order would be placed, and the cameras would start rollin' about two weeks prior to CES2014, whereupon the end result is hand delivered by Rick Dale's 1951 Ford F-100 "Signature Truck" onto the CES floor where even more cameras are a rollin'.

During the restoration process, an LV Bitcoiner with a smartphone could be on hand to help with the filmware and, moreover, making sure it work, that's if the filmware isn't supplied via the internet and RR opts to not use their own smartphone for the occasion when the time comes.

BitPay principals wouldn't see the Bitcoin accepted only vintage Coke machine until it's delivered to their CES booth.

Here's the beautiful part of the entire endeavor. It's not outside the realm of possibility to sell enough Cokes via bitcoins at a buck a piece to probably pay for the booth spot, especially since the bottles can be purchased at Sam's Club fairly cheaply. Bear in mind that BitPay is in no way selling beverages to compete with the official beverage vendors, but is showcasing a concept of which a product is dispersed, not meant to be opened and consumed while on the CES floor. A special sticker affixed to each bottle would be prudent, thus making each bottle a collector's item of sorts.

I'm fully aware that BitPay is not in the Bitcoin vending business, but somehow the stretch could be achieved.

I'm guessing that the actual cost would be in the 3-5K range (EDIT: May be higher due to the price of the machine prior to the restoration cost, but still feel it's well worth it), but considering where it's going to be used full time once the show ends, it WILL pay for itself many times over.

I'm sure all can see how this would be beneficial for all concerns.

Discuss.

Since I've arrived in Atlanta, I've been asked this question at least four times by A-A's donning pants sans belts, thus exposing their underwear. Just so happens I know what the phrase is code for, and am tempting to ask if they accept Bitcoin. The only thing stopping me from doing this now is the fact that SR went dark (no pun intended) and didn't want to open up any healing wounds.

I just remembered something. The phrase is not only used for SR related items but also services they may be running. I wonder if... if... surely not, but wouldn't know until I ask if... if... they can hook me up with one of these:
