361  Economy / Invites & Accounts / Re: WTB> Google+ invite for 0.01 BTC ^^ on: July 02, 2011, 02:48:06 PM
Thanks for information. I'll keep trying to buy one anyway.
Hey Google+ owners! Sell an invite it's most likely worthless anyway! Cheesy

Google must be doing something right if people are willing to pay for nonfunctional access to a free service  Grin
362  Economy / Invites & Accounts / Re: WTB> Google+ invite for 0.01 BTC ^^ on: July 02, 2011, 01:40:21 PM
I recieved an invite and then tried to sign up, Google told me

"Already invited? We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon."

So it looks like having an invite might not necessarily mean you can use it.

As of three months ago, and far moreso today, anyone who was still keeping money in Greek banks is a fool. There's a heavy risk of banks being frozen and all assets converted to a new drachma which will swiftly and severely devalue relative to the Euro.

He's not real, so this is moot.

And even if he was real, he's not necessarily who the government would want to go after. They would go after tax evaders.

I love this idea.

Caveat emptor. Everyone involved knew, or should have known, the risks of sending their funds to an unregulated exchange in a foreign country run by someone they didn't know that well.

If your password is a non-dictionary string of seemingly random alphanumerics, how is it possible that someone could brute force your hash into a password? Arent there a great number of alphanumeric strings that can be hashed into a given hash?

"love" "sex" "secret" and "god" do not appear anywhere in those passwords. Hackers lied to me.

Price controls will lead to shortages. It is an economic inevitability. Eventually you won't be able to buy or sell Bitcoins at the allowed price because none will be available at that price.
370  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Looks like Google's security team has picked up the leaked list! on: June 20, 2011, 12:38:26 AM
My Gmail account said I needed to change my password because of suspicious activity. Is this because Google is being proactive and doing it to all Gmail accounts on the hacked list, or was someone repeatedly trying to guess my password?
371  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jacob Appelbaum: "Bitcoin Prediction: Major bugs in the near future ..." on: June 12, 2011, 01:40:03 PM
Dude probably just wants to buy some bitcoins for cheap.

This is probably the case.

These forums are becoming less and less useful as they get clogged with "omgskyisfallingsell!!!!" and "omgrallybuy!" posts intended to pump or deflate prices.

People will behave differently now that they've seen it crash once. No action is necessary.
373  Economy / Goods / Re: Spend your bitcoins on amazon with no transaction fees on: June 11, 2011, 12:35:55 PM
Do these Amazon gift codes ever expire?
374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Tell us why you sold your Bitcoins on: June 08, 2011, 03:54:30 PM
Considering the risks of a market crash, they became an unpleasantly high proportion of my net wealth.

I'd love one!
376  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Shift the decimal point over? on: June 07, 2011, 08:58:03 PM
Do it asap, get it out of the way. 1 old BTC = 1000 new kBTC.

It is awkward to deal with more than two digits to the right of the decimal point.
377  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How is it possible that a wallet backed up before a transaction occurs. . . on: June 07, 2011, 03:57:33 PM
I try to always receive with the same Bitcoin address, but for some reason it seems that Bitcoin changes the address listed under "Your Bitcoin Address:" without my requesting it to change. Is there an action I may be doing that causes it to change on its own?
378  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / How is it possible that a wallet backed up before a transaction occurs. . . on: June 07, 2011, 03:46:34 PM
can still restore coins received in that transaction?

Say I back up my wallet today, and tomorrow I get sent 100 coins. Then, my computer crashes. From what I've read it sounds like I will still have those 100 coins when I restore my backup. How is that possible? And if it's possible, why is it necessary to ever back up more than once?

edit: found it. I should read more. : https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Backup#Technical_Background

So does this mean that if you always receive at the same address, you never technically need to back up more than once?

look at the picture i added, it has a "best before" date on it & issue date
this was already a hyperinflated currency (the third zim $) that was replaced with the fourth that is on sale in this thread. look here, i wrote a short note on their inflation history http://thatuselessguy.com/btc.html (it has not been updated for weeks, but pictures and most of the text are still true)

as for the money / cheque question of yours, i do not know. i guess that they wanted to be sure people stop using them after the validity date, kind of demurrage or hoarding prevention. did not helped. next mohth they started printing new dollars, lowest note value was 1 cent. in 6 months they added 14 zeros
Yeah, that's the one I have. Do you know if "agro-cheque" means it was based on the price of some agriculture, product, or intended to be spent on agriculture, or anything like that?
380  Other / Obsolete (selling) / Re: Selling any number of Zimbabwe 50 Trillion Dollar Bills on: June 07, 2011, 03:22:20 PM
Just for interest sake, how much $ are they worth?

I bought a bunch of $100 Billion Zimbabwe bills, (you know, just in case the world is held ransom by Dr. Evil) and shipping cost more than they were worth.

do you have the blue special agro cheques (3rd zim $) or 'real' zim dollar bills?
i'm curious how many zim $ fans are out there

Agro cheques. Could you please explain to me what "agro cheque" actually means? I'd love to hear more about the history.
