22  Economy / Economics / UK income TAX brackets on: June 18, 2015, 09:44:07 AM
Hi,

Trying to work out how UK income tax brackets work. As far as i can tell you pay 0% up to £10k? 20% up to like 35k? and 40% beyond that.

Anyone have some accurate information?  The mrs is dropping work hours and we are wondering if there is any advantage to dropping more to get in a lower tax bracket, at the moment im thinking not since she isnt a high earner.
23  Other / Off-topic / Is SPOILER dead on game of thrones? (warning has spoilers) on: June 16, 2015, 09:29:50 AM

Is Jon snow really dead on game of thrones?

Theory: The show likes to be tortuous and he was a hero who died in a unheroic way so yep he could be gone for good?

Another theory is the red woman will bring him back to life and that somehow is the gift from stannis burning his daughter? seems a bit strange though.

What titles can we use without getting into trouble with the law? Thinking i might make myself a Doctor and have Dr. in title -  Im a doctor of internetology imo. Also i wouldnt mind being a king but living in the UK im pretty sure thats a no go.

I went to university and felt i've learnt about 10x the amount on the internet vs uni, thinking i deserve to be a doctor of information searching.  Perhaps a Professor Prof. hmmm.
25  Other / Politics & Society / Paying Taxes Via Donation Experiment on: June 03, 2015, 10:17:23 AM
Here me out.... obviously this likely could end up in prison/fines but imagine this:

- You pubically announce in good time before next year that you no longer wish to pay taxes via force.

- You donate the exact amount of tax you'd usually pay to the gov but send it direct to the services the gov does.  You research the services as much as possible to get it right.

- You keep a public diary of everything of what you are doing - your earnings and what you've paid to each service.  Perhaps a youtube channel is best.  You could even document each public service and how they do great work for society.

So.... the goal is to not have taxes taken via force but you pay exactly the same to society to prove you are a decent human and force not needed.  The hope would be the public react strongly to this and you get a decent following.

We could maybe do with a Business, Finances & Investing Forum? 

The only drawback is too much talk outside of bitcoin type businesses? which could be a good reason not to have it i think. 
27  Other / Off-topic / Clothing retail website domain name ideas? on: June 01, 2015, 03:56:17 PM
What would you call a clothing retail website shop? currently i sell on ebay about to make a site to accompany the ebay store. Sell mostly t shirts/underwear(non sexy)/tops/jumpers/leggings.  Mostly harry potter/disney/minions/marvel stuff like that.

Thinking it should be a .com but should it be a brand name or a name like  onlineclothingshop.com  Grin

Note: My ebay shop name is changable, im going to change it to match whatever site name idea.
28  Economy / Gambling / Someone should make agar.io for bitcoins on: May 28, 2015, 01:13:18 PM
Someone should make agar.io for bitcoins. Have a low entry fee per game or something, 0.0001 each time you start a new game etc. Take a small rake, make it possible to earn.

Idea: You could have it so the higher you got up the leaderboard the bigger the prize but you only win it if you cash.... then you start over.

The game is pretty simple & awesome imo.

31  Other / Off-topic / Creating own website store & to not rely on only ebay store. on: May 20, 2015, 07:35:10 PM
Wondered if anyone here has created their own website store & to not rely on ebay store.  Bit of a random question i know... we dont seem to have a business section on this forum.  Getting traffic seems to be the challenge + giving people the confidence to buy.  I plan on using shopify unless its a bad idea? & hey they take bitcoin also!

Any tips tricks ideas would be handy, currently i sell clothing btw. I will keep ebay store open but try to channel traffic from it - not sure on what is against ebay TOS atm, any ideas for that? sending out a site advert leaflet with every sale wont be enough.  

& yes i am waiting on open bazaar also Smiley

33  Other / Politics & Society / Corporations reminding us to vote in UK elections today? why? on: May 07, 2015, 06:14:30 AM

Is anyone else uncomfortable with private companies reminding us to vote. 

Examples:

google.com today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pahIcUi0kns

What has it got to do with them if we vote or not it is a public matter surely.  It would make more sense if they suggested voting for a certain party.  Proof that your vote is meaningless?

conspiracy theory:

Im thinking voting for whoever justifys more state force vs public in general which also benefits corporations more vs if u didnt vote.

The system needs changing, voting reinforces it, dont vote.

38  Other / Politics & Society / The Meaning Of Minions on: April 20, 2015, 05:18:14 PM
What in your opinion is the sociological meaning of the popularity of minions?


These little bastards are everywhere atm, they are everywhere in UK anyway not sure elsewhere, they work for evil guys, there are many of them, they are pretty useless & powerless individually.  

My theory is their popularity is partly down to society slowly becoming self aware of the current power structures.  The kids pick up on the collective unconscious of society probably clearer than anyone.  So if thats true the mass public are in a kinda stage of...... ok i see the power structure problem and for the time being im owning it until someone has a better idea - living life being a minion etc.  The owning of a "problem" is often one of the first steps to gaining control of a problem.  I think we are seeing early stages of big power structure changes.... do we have to look at minions to work that out? maybe, maybe not.

How to build a BitcoinTalk.org thread bot?

Need it to scan a single thread and edit OP based on commands by users in the same thread.  Its for forum games.


 
40  Other / Meta / Would this bot be allowed on the forum? on: April 07, 2015, 10:50:59 PM

The bot would edit the OP of a thread based on commands of users posting in the same thread.  The bot would run on a dedicated bitcointalk account and only ever edit the OP in 1 thread.  The purpose is to run games.

If it is allowed how the heck would you make some like that?
