Well you guys might as well go get your guaranteed profit (however small):

This one almost seems like a guaranteed win as well.

Earlier today I started to feel sorry for myself for spending a bunch of coins last year (but got myself some kick-ass AR-15 parts), because I now see the jump to $60+.  But then as I thought more about it, the fact that I did that was helpful in a small way to the bitcoin economy.  I helped it grow, even at a tiny fraction.  It's all of us, using it, that helps it become legitimate, and I still think I'm considered an early adopter.  Although that line is quickly approaching to mainstream.
 
So now I'm back up to 8 (I'm a slow miner) and hopefully soon I'll rejoin the one millionth of the bitcoin economy club.

Can you get a Benchmade Infidel 3300 (or 3300BK) any cheaper than retail?

Sold!  I will let the buyer comment in the thread if he wants once he has received the knife.

I think he was trying to push your buttons.

Well considering that their face value is 1 BTC, kicking in an extra BTC knowing they're going to be worth even more down the road is incentive.  I'm actually considering parting with mine... but I'm still able to talk myself out of it

Had I not bought an Ontario bayonet a while back, I'd be considering using this as my "shit hit the fan" blade.   
 
You can find a use, you know you want it    

***knife is no longer available, sold***

This blade was from a limited 500 unit run of solid blue blade.  There are minor scratches on the blade but just cosmetic.  It's never been used, so I suspect the blemishes are from my various moves and perhaps rubbing on something during said moves or a drop, but I honestly don't know..  I think I got it in '94.  No original box, I would send it in it's sheath in a USPS box.  
 
Steel is 1095 and hardness at 58rc.  The tang is a full tang (runs the full length of the knife and width) which adds to the usefulness for helping balance and effectiveness, and is wrapped in (I believe) paracord.
 
I'm asking $200 (payable in equivalent btc) and this will include the price of shipping to US addresses.

Ek knives were made with the military in mind, and are built tough.
 
The sheath has a ring on the bottom for tying a lanyard (lanyard not included) to tie around your leg to help keep it from flopping about while you run.

My AR-15
 
granted, I bought it piecemeal using bitcoins (some directly to other users, some buying amazon cards to buy parts).  But this, by far, is my favorite bitcoin purchase.
 
A close second is a couple one-ounce bars of silver

Thanks for the reminder of this site.  I couldn't remember it, and they used to charge commission, but now that it's straight-up I'll give it more use.

Ok, so I was at the grocery store earlier and they have this coin machine where you put in coins, and you can get a voucher to get cash back (in bills) from the cashier. 
 
One of the options, however, was to get it back in Amazon credit!   So I'll bet there's an API or something that you could use to set up where someone can send btc and get an Amazon code spit back at them.

I'd settle for an automated system wherein someone sent in BTC to a webpage and it spit back out an amazon gift code. 
 
As it stands now I can trade BTC to users for gift codes, and for the time being I like that, but something automated on a trusted system would rock.  But not at an inflated rate, it would have to be straight-up value exchange.  I say this because there are folks in the btc world who still like to charge a premium, and it shouldn't be that way anymore.
 
Right now I can trade btc for amazon gift cards with a user who will trade at a value for more than I give him.  For instance, if I give him 1 btc at $20, he'll give me a card worth $22.  I only mention this because, in my opinion, the days of inflated btc for goods should be over for it to have a future.

If you could somehow implement straight bitcoin payments with Amazon, I will have your children.   Which in itself would be an accomplishment worth scientific study since I'm a man.

He's actually my coworker, and is interested in getting started, but only has a Mac mini, so no possibility of GPU mining.  I trust him 100%.

Ok, so here's the scenario.  I'll have 2 ASICs coming in soon, and one of my friends wants to get into mining and might get on the waiting list for a BFL.
 
I am thinking of offering him to rent one of my mine until he gets one.
 
How would you all suggest for a fair rate of use/rent?

I don't mind doing a net-zero amount (just so I don't lose out of income).  Would you suggest maybe a percentage, and then when he gets his ASIC I get a percentage of his until we're "even" for the same amount of days that it takes for his to arrive?  (maybe have the percentages flip-flop) Or what are people doing this days for rent?

They likely won't, however, since rebuild kits are legal (even in California!) so that you can repair your existing mags.

Someone has now come up with printable 30-rd magazine for AR-15.  The only thing you need to buy (not printable) is the spring:

Finally, a hedge against a potential high capacity mag ban.
 
"No officer, I printed all 100 of these pre-ban."

For flags I run -v 1 -w 256
 
I dunno what is the best, but that's what I ran with diablo's miner

Haha, actually everything I did was completely legal where I live.  So no legal defense fund needed

I pay only $.023 per kWh, and that's set to be the peak power in the middle of winter.    So I'll continue mining with my 7970s    Nice to live in the boonies with cheap power
