Found I don't have boxes big enough for the case (so I guess I'll just sit on them and use 'em as frisbees?), so removed cases from lists and lowered prices to account for. Found some crushproof boxes for the GPUs, though.

"Maintaining Chinese Face"
Part of "BUSINESS & ETHICS AT THE BASE OF THE PYRAMID (BOP)" course required to get an MBA at Dartmouth's Tuck. Goes over preventing honor-suicides by stopping yourself from suggesting there was an issue with anything. http://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/mba/required-curriculum/ethics-and-social-responsibility

Added to list.

Have 14 270s @ $95 plus at-cost shipping (or local pickup -- I'm around Jackson, MI but can meet in the middle, within reason). BTC preferred, shared credit union transfer also accepted (cash great if local pick-up). All in perfect working order -- mined during Winter. I have a rather dusty 270 available @ $85 -- runs perfectly fine (never mined, ran in an open case for general PC usage), just needs to be cleaned out well. No warranties on the cards (never bother saving boxes, never had one fail).

First post, first reserved. (heading to sleep, now)

Important story (more for its future-critical implications) worth some more attention. Definitely take a close look at how he edited the senator's letters requesting the DoT & Fed ban bitcoin transactions. It's an argument we've used fairly often (it's practically Andreas Antonopoulous' catch-phrase; "just replace 'bitcoin' with 'dollar' in that sentence and you'll see we should ban dollars"), so it's reasonable to assume he's watching (as well as participating), and, without a doubt, our greatest ally-who's-an-elected-official in the US. For those interested in keeping Bitcoin "permitted" in the US, this fellow's pretty darn important - not for his <(.5*(1/435)) vote, obviously, but his wit, willingness to speak out, and office. Promoting something, as a politician, he has next to nothing to gain from is a somewhat confusing trait, too - probably for our benefit -- shouldn't be ignored.

I effectively disabled it a few months ago. It's too distracting, but I see its merits. I think it "generally works" when there's only one or two ratings... but it's much more like democracy than Bitcoin. You have to vote, you have to stay up to date, you're supposed to follow guidelines for doling out votes, and there are more than a handful of people dishing out votes outside the guidelines, which isn't moderated. I'm conflicted on whether or not it should be given legitimacy through participation outside of labeling obvious scammers targeting newbies who have no established reputation under the assumption that new members would place more weight on the "trade with extreme caution" tag.

The legitimacy of the statement is critical to the question because it determines how many people move.

"satoshi" could post with his forum account that everyone needs to move to Nybble, and it'd take a Hell of a lot more than "satoshi" saying to for me to move. That assumes I would follow "the real satoshi" (which is a fairy tale as far as I can tell) wherever he says just because he says, which I wouldn't, and I'd hope more than a handful of people would ask whether or not it's following lemmings off a cliff for short-term gain.

Lol... That's funny. When I set up someone on a W8 box (heh - w8 box...), they couldn't figure out how to close a picture they opened. I couldn't, either, so that started the first of many lessons on keyboard shortcuts to use the damned thing for simple tasks. I eventually learned the GUI was on the right-hand side due to . There's no valid reason to do that -- it's unintuitive and that's not a perspective brought on by "resistance to change." Every time something's new and sucks, if you don't like it - you're just "resisting change," like you're the Obsolete Man in a world clearly too sophisticated for his worn presence.

I'm convinced MS produces a difficult-to-use, bloated-seeming OS so they can double-up on revenue by then selling the poor enthusiast a W7 license for when they inevitably want to downgrade. By the time W9 is pushed, they'll then buy the latest version since there own is clearly becoming out of date - behind by two releases! With an S3, I can skip the S4, but an S5? Fuck me - I don't want people thinking I'm the only guy in town with an outhouse! It's about as perfect a scheme as possible.

Unintuitive design has been pissing me off a good bit, lately, and I think touch screens are probably the pinnacle of bad design. They've been around for decades, but now, in 2015, I still mistype things on my cell phone which I never would on a keyboard and the audio recognition is still somehow so bad that has me asking my mom if she wants to mount dick when I say Mt Gox. Even the giant numbers in the "dial" window, I have trouble using. When I need to get into the MSL menu, if I mis-type it twice, it completely reboots the phone just to be an asshole. The damned thing's slow as molasses, too. Shortcuts? Good luck doodling them. -Then things suddenly freeze up for no discernible reason, so I'm totally sympathetic to resistance to change when almost every hardware and software designer on the planet gives you reason to be.  Let me tell you the perfect cell phone design: you use WiDi to project your screen onto a computer monitor, use WiFi to use a PC through VNC, then use BT to connect a keyboard and mouse. Perfect. Damn cell phones and punk-ass kids who practically force them on us... and 3D came and went AGAIN, but not before pushing increased costs on EVERYTHING for something which adds zero value... can't wait for the fifty years to pass so I can kick their asses "due to Alzheimer's"....

If you don't expect overseas cables and other Internet-sharing mediums to continue, whether in the event of censorship at source points, an EMP-heavy WW3, or some other situation, it's possible to see some benefits to having national "sub-coins," where Bitcoin remains the International standard, but where these coins can pick up where BTC left off in case of catastrophe - especially on islands. It's super-easy to convert bitcoins to altcoins and vice versa, so - at least from a super-paranoid perspective - I see it as something definitely not worth fighting merely on the basis that they're supposedly geographically- or politically-restricted. As for buying them, though - I wouldn't because I don't hoard bottlecaps in case of nuclear apocalypse, either.

Oh yeah, and if "the real God" came back, I'd be satisfied by Him tossing a cow up in the air and turning it into the world's largest taco.

No way. CIA psyops bullshit, man. They're altering my perception with their MKULTRA garbage and compromising Satoshi's keys with the same programming. Shit - you even notice what color the sky was today? Purple, and everything tasted like purple, too. Fuck that.

Thanks.

Y'are, now. e35's fine. Updated list.

This thread is now obsolete. Rules have changed substantially, including faster payments and removal of the decaying payment mechanism. Please keep conversation to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=562541

**On or near August 1st, 2014, we're going to transition this project over to a different model and integrate more closely into the LTB website. See working details @ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=562541.msg7762353#msg7762353**


Looking for transcripts? Proofread copies are pushed here as soon as they're done: http://www.scribd.com/ben_malec_1/documents -- use the top-right search bar and type in "episode 1," "episode 2" etc (the episode title should also work, and possibly the original air date as listed on SoundCloud if formatted the same way as used - ex. November 26, 2013). In case you were wondering why some transcripts have "travelers" and others have "travellers," transcriptions prior to episode ~70 will almost always be in US English while episodes after e70 are often in UK English, possibly with some hybridization if I meddled where I shouldn't have.

*Air date posted on letstalkbitcoin.com is sometimes used for newer episodes. There usually aren't discrepancies, but that's not absolute. If you can't find it, try +- a day when you search by date. Also know I have ~9 very early episodes (maybe e21-29 - something like that) which were never posted on my Scribd account. These mysterious episodes are available for me to post if someone ever bugs me about them - just will take some time (they aren't actually proof-read).

"Old-approved" transcribers:

"New-approved" transcribers:

Payments will be made at the time the episode is proofread and deemed adequate - no more waits for batch payments.

"Fail Point" scores are no longer kept on record. UK English is now accepted. All other previous rules are still active and anything qwk says in this thread takes precedence over any new operational mechanics I've outlined. Rules may be modified based on conditions listed as they change. Rule changes absolutely do not apply retroactively and never will.

Transcription work flow: N/A
Work backlog: Minimal
Estimated proofreading wait time: 1-3 days
All transcriptions will currently pay .075BTC (unless an "old-approved" transcriber, where pay remains at .15BTC/episode until the project ends). A decaying payment mechanism is in effect (rather, we reserve the right to enforce it) -- from the time you reserve an episode, you have only 72 hours to finish and submit the transcript until .005BTC will be deducted from the amount to be paid at the start of each 24h cycle thereafter.

**NEW TRANSCRIBERS may reserve any one episode but must submit the first five audio-minutes of transcription to me via PM. This will pay .005BTC. If approved, you'll be allowed to transcribe the rest of the episode for an additional .075BTC. See this post for a more complete explanation. For formatting guidelines, see the OP here, and do please look at some of the transcripts currently finished by clicking on the Scribd link at the top of this post.**

To reserve an episode, simply post the number you want reserved. Upon finishing, provide a Scribd link (or something else we've accepted) and a BTC address. Please do not reserve more than two episodes at a time. Reservations will be cleared 18 days after the request was made or if you ask for it to be cleared if you're considered a "new transcriber," 33 days if you're considered an "old transcriber," since this'd be when the transcripts would pay nothing after the decaying payment effect. You cannot re-reserve an episode you previously reserved.

Updates:
(5/4/14) Entertaining other work requests both in proofreading and transcribing. They'll go through the same two-person process of error-checking as with LTB episodes. We're looking to maintain at least a $10/hr pay rate for everyone, keeping in mind that an hour of audio usually takes 4-6 man-hours to transcribe while proofreading a page of text takes ~2 man-minutes. If the audio or text needs to be translated, that's possible but unlikely, depending on the transcribers "on call" at the time you make the request. Expediting is definitely possible (your best bet would be to PM skyered), while freelance writing may be possible depending on the topic. We can also CC/subtitle videos and audio, no problem (though it takes a good bit more time). PM or email me (obviously, feel free to talk to individual transcribers privately, too).

(6/20/14) Reading transcripts? It may surprise you to know Qwk's not a bottomless pit of BTC! While we work on moving the project over to a donation-oriented model, it's fairly important we know what to expect in the way of donations. Any donations sent to  1Jr5cs35vesNwvx6FJcvRu9GooenBDKdvX will help us determine if and how the project should move forward (and count against what we charge qwk).

(7/30/14) The application process is now closed while we transition models, which may take anywhere from one week to one year. (hoping on the former, though!)

If you'd like any particular services or transcript modifications from us (listing of transcripts by episode will hopefully come in the form of LTB posting them with podcasts on their site in the future), do please let me know!

Thanks, guys. I deleted everything in Bitcoin's appdata folder except the actual wallet, so I'm guessing either transactions are saved inside the wallet (which'd be ridiculous) or there's some other folder I should've checked.

There it goes. Double-payment refunds would be appreciated at the address which sent them. 18ZWfzyX7bWNHWgY9CtV2R4cYriCF4yvEr

[paragraph upon paragraph of cheese talk redacted]

Oh, my God.... that'd be so awesome.... a cheese-based stock exchange... might even get around the raw milk and cheese aging nonsense in the US. You invest coins in a dairy processor, and receive cheese and other dairy products in dividends. Please invest 5BTC in my cheese-based stock exchange. Send funds immediately!

Praise the lord for Armory's bugs!
