I noticed that the localmonero.com domain was available until less than 2 weeks ago, so maybe something will come of it?

A tired messenger arrives wearing strange clothing bearing an ornate scroll tube, sealed with the signet of Duke Joseph.

The message within reads simply.

Purchase CKG.

Markets tend to price things more fairly than not.  Buying now is not more wrong than buying in the past.
The difference is that you are buying a more successful effort, so it costs appreciably more.

Bitcoin went from $1 to $31 in the first few months of Silkroad.
Feb2011.

Then it fell to $2 so...

This new buyer is doing quite a lot of distribution, not holding so much, and should be buying a more continuously for a good while

If you figured this much out, then you probably also figured out that the one entity is not done yet either.

Sell into hope, buy into fear.

I think there are some breakthroughs coming for anon.

In the mean time, this could be a fun diversion:

Bitcoin needs code-reviewers, possibly more even than coders.
These exercises can be great ways to get folks thinking, and observing.

Law enforcement is discovering that Bitcoin provides evidence without the need for any subpeona.
Maybe soon they will discover that when governments force themselves to use it internally, it can also expose corruption.

Thank you for the support.  The vetting process is for wholesale buyers.

"We wanted to inform you in advance that, effective June 1, 2016, we will be moving all Betting Partners affiliate payments over to Bitcoin.

Although this payment method may be new to you, rest assured, it's very easy to use and we ask that you start getting to know the product so that May's commissions are paid in full by June 10, 2016. As we approach the cut-off date, you'll receive all the relevant information, including visual step-by-steps instructions and a video tutorial.

Here are some of the advantages of using Bitcoin:

It's really easy to use:
– Visit Blockchain Info and click on the 'Wallet' tab at the top of the page to set up your first wallet address - this takes only a few minutes and you can generate new wallet addresses as required at the click of a button.
– Next, you will be able to transfer your earnings from Blockchain.info to any number of different Bitcoin Exchange services such as Kraken to exchange your Bitcoin into Fiat Currency, or you can also hold your Bitcoin in your wallet and spend it at your convenience.
– We strongly suggest that you do not transfer your earnings directly to an exchange service but, first, to a Bitcoin wallet (Blockchain.info). Then you can move your earnings from your wallet to your exchange service as you see fit.


Ease is not the only advantage to using Bitcoin:
– Receive your commission payments after they have been processed in under an hour.
– No restrictions on the amount you can receive. We can process up to $40,000 per Bitcoin Address. If your earnings are above $40,000, you will be required to provide multiple addresses. However, they will all be processed at the same time, which means no delay in receiving your entire payment.
– No fees to receive Bitcoin payments to your wallets.
– No personal information required to receive payments.
– No risk of payments being delayed by third parties.
– The minimum payment threshold will be lowered to only $10 USD, which is great news for partners who do not hit the current minimum payment thresholds.
– Bitcoin wallet security is our top priority. Affiliates will be required to provide new Bitcoin addresses each month in order to receive their payment. For your protection and ours, we will not be able to process multiple payments to the same Bitcoin address. This process is very easy and a new address can be generated within seconds from any Bitcoin wallet.


If your monthly earnings are significantly larger, we strongly suggest looking into Bitcoin Armory. They provide a secure, offline storage solution for holding Bitcoin. Use this to hold the majority of your Bitcoin balance offline, while using other online or mobile wallet applications for regular day to day spending. They also offer Tutorials should you need to use their services..

HM in his modesty discounts the rich, complex aroma and unusually long, wonderfully pleasant finish of this exceptional blend.  It presents a distinguished flavour profile that is unlikely ever to be reproducible by the craft and presents a perfect pairing to some of the Kingdom's most delectable meals.

Completely aside from all of the aforementioned benefits most eloquently described by HM.  The color, aroma and taste is incomparably magnificent.

Can you feel it?

The early coins may also have been sold off-chain to other hodlers.
These could be the most collectible coins for historic reasons.
The collectible value being destroyed when they are moved on chain may be the reason for this.

So economic forces may keep these off chain.

Having the 'wrong' value minted onto the coin is a historical note.  It shows the approximate value of the piece on the year it was minted. 
Contrast with the 'real-time' value of the QR pricing.

Congrats to 21 inc for launching a legit botnet.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to see why anyone does bitcoin business in the USA, land of the fee.

Gambling is a social good.

Gambling is a tax on innumeracy by the free market.

It shifts resources toward those more mathematically inclined, and away from those that aren't.  This is a benefit to society.

Yes, there are addictive personality types that suffer.  It is a different but related issue.

Now that the case is over, probation is ended, and the government are giving back everything.
The government does everything except admit it was wrong.

Malicious prosecutions.
Roger Ver had it with his firecracker, and Bernard Von Nothaus with the Liberty Dollars.

USA is no longer going at this in pieces and individual.
Operation Chokepoint catalogs the edges of what liberty and freedom remain, and bundle them under the umberlla of "banking's unwanted".
