There are 7 outlets in walking distance to me.  Seems expensive, although they dont have any competition.

I wonder what sort of marketing they are going to do.

Seems they don't do any since nobody seems to have heard of it nor even know their local store provides the service.

Haven't we learnt from history that banning people from saying something Never ever works ? I know it's annoying but now instead of "reserved" people say "interested" or another one word like "cool"

I hated the reserved thing but really who cares, it's part of the free culture of this forum.



Think of it as scolding/shouting at a child. If peoples posts keep getting deleted they'll eventually get the message.

First they cooperate with Latin American drug cartels to launder money, and get fined $1.9 billion dollars.

What makes that figure laughable is that I think that's only a few days money to them.

I'm aware of that, but what's the joke exactly?

That someone named "hilarious" would be so serious.  Cheesy

ps.
He gets it:

Hey kid, would you like to buy... some bitcoin?


I'm not being serious, but I think one of the requirements of a joke is that it's funny.

I suppose I think of them about as often as they do about me.

I somehow doubt that's true.

I've been reading more and more about the poor working conditions of some of Apple's outsourced manufacturing plants. My question is, what are your thoughts?

I'm writing this from an iPad please bear in mind, so I'm not taking any high ground.

Is it enough for you to think about changing your device in future?

See this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2092277/Apple-Poor-working-conditions-inside-Chinese-factories-making-iPads.html

(Yes, it's the daily mail)

Well, you want cheap devices, do you not. Can you imagine what would happen if all workes had a 50% raise in their wage? Correct, your devices would be more expensive as well.

iPhones and iPads aren't exactly cheap.

OK, I give it up with 42. It's not worth it.

i tried two weeks on some free bitcoin faucet,and i got paid this morning. for bitcoin new starters repeat doing faucets may a way to get free btcs,but it is not the best one. every day you have to face boring catchas and input. patience and time are necessary,and then you can get very very little amount btc. anyway, these faucets really do pay.

Yeah, a lot of 'em do pay... dust. How much did you earn?

Good question.

Women are as kinky as men, but can usually get their needs met for free Smiley



What do you define as kinky?

I think that's a polite female term for being perverted. I'd say even the most kinkiest of women aren't anywhere near as perverted as the average man. What women think is perverse/kinky is completely different to what most men define as kinky by many many magnitudes.

BAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHHHH!! You haven't talked to women much have you? Cheesy The only reason that people don't think women aren't as perverted as men is because they're better at hiding it, seriously I'm friends with girls I've known for a long time now and some of them are more perverted than I am, they can just play innocent every time, girls can get away with all sorts of shit doing that, it's just a fact of life Tongue.

Do you have any evidence to back this up or are you just going on the evidence of all these women you probably don't know or have never spoke to (and "women" you've spoken to online don't count  Grin). Tell me what makes these women more perverted than you? Most women seem to think anal is going a bit too far.


hilariousandco you're talking on a thread with a BDSM mistress >_> please tell me of a place where men can go to do that kind of shit and not get arrested or get judged a lot and I'll go there in five seconds. Also, I love all the fake assumptions you're making about me, it's pretty amusing and also says a lot about you.

I'm not assuming anything. I'm just sceptical of your claims. You seem to have a penchant for making claims there's no way you can back up. Usually when people boast on the internet about how tough they are or about all these perverse women they claim to know it turns out to not be the case or be mere fantasy or lies. But maybe you are a real-life tough guy and a chick magnet; I don't know, but I have no reason to believe any of this without evidence.

And I don't see your logic of a woman being a BDSM mistress or you claiming to know a few sexually liberal / perverted women therefore that makes all women equally as perverted. Explain the logic. One woman exploiting men's desires for her own financial gain doesn't make her just as perverted as men therefore all women are just as perverted. How many BDSM mistresses do you know? Or do all women secretly want to be BDSM mistresses now? Plus, she's a BDSM mistress, not a anything goes prostitute, and as she's stated before there are lots of things she doesn't do and bizarre requests she has to routinely turn down. And I'm not nor did I ever say women don't have fantasies or desires or are not perverse, but I'd be willing to be she's not even as perverse or would enjoy or be willing to do half of the shit many "average" males I know would like or want to do.

And I don't understand this. Do what shit? Go see a BDSM mistress? Go see Mistress Magpie and I reckon you'll be alright. And why would you get arrested for it? And what are fake assumptions, and please tell me what it says about me, Sigmund Freud  Grin.
16114  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Zipzap at Miami - UK debut next week according to Eric Benz on: January 25, 2014, 10:22:02 PM
I'm wondering too. No mention of extra details so far. Their markup may be brutal. We'll have to see.

You just said £3.95 flat fee? That's pretty good if you're buying 1BTC but not so much if you just want to buy £10's worth.
16115  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Zipzap at Miami - UK debut coming soon on: January 25, 2014, 10:18:44 PM
As mentioned at the Miami conference Zipzap seems to be rapidly approaching its rollout in the UK. I assume it'll be the same for other countries soon.

http://cashcoin.zipzapinc.com/

https://twitter.com/ZipZapInc

In the UK purchasing Bitcoin will have a flat £3.95 fee at 28,000 locations. There's one location within 100 metres of me and I live pretty much in the middle of nowhere. That's kinda surreal.

I wonder what effect this'll have on things.

I was wondering what their markup will be. So it's £3.95 whether you buy 0.01BTC or 1BTC? Is there any more details on this?
16116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google Is Looking At How It Can Use Bitcoin For Its Payments Products Read more on: January 25, 2014, 10:08:42 PM
I read in a google product forum in early 2013, one person was asking for Bitcoin payment and ignorant people were accusing him as a scammer. 1 year ....so much has changed.

Yeah I heard a similar story to this. I used to be a neysayer on Bitcoin. I remember telling a friend how it all sounded like a scam. Now I'm eating my words!

A lot of people assume it's a scam because of the if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is ethos.

Yeah very good point. My friend tried to get me into it when Bitcoin was around $50. How I wish I'd listened! I got in at $850!

I've got two mates who I told about Bitcoin. One is pretty smart and was sceptical of Bitcoin and he immediately thought it was a scam, the other isn't very smart and wanted to invest straight away, but that guy is always getting scammed on stuff as he's greedy and gets blinded easily by the promise of profit. He was basically ready to invest without even actually doing his own research on it and it could've been total BS for all he knew. I probably could've sold him 1 Dogecoin for the price of a Bitcoin and he would've been none the wiser.
16117  Other / Meta / Re: Stop and Ban those alt coins copycats now on: January 25, 2014, 09:58:51 PM
Almost all(in fact, all) of the alt-coins out there are going to be a waste of time.  They're being created to take advantage of people who get super excited about different things and then get pumped and dumped.

Most alt coins are completely pointless and just poor replicas of what's already out there with little to no improvement.

Those alt coins(junkcoins) are spreading the investment of bitcoin and can't be good for crypto as a whole, they will also destroy people's trust of cryptocurrencies after their crash and run and disapparation. only their "developers" or "early adopters team" will get rich quick by taking your money away.

Bitcoin has a limit of only 21 million, however with all these so called "alt coins", the total number of crypto is in fact unlimited and make all cryptocurrencies end up into a ponzi scheme(only detract from people's perceived value of Bitcoin and the legitimacy of cryptos in general)

Stop and Ban those alt coins copycats now, let the money flow back to the bitcoin!

I think that the alt-coins actually take advantage of people new to cryptocurrency. I remember clearly thinking to myself when I first got into this, 'Bitcoin is pretty expensive and it's not profitable to mine it on my laptop, how about another alt'. This is when newbies look at alternatives and get caught up in the bull of it all. I nearly got swept away in Coinye.

Yeah, a lot of newbs just want to feel like they're a part of the start of something. A lot of their logic is based entirely on the fact that they think they're 'going to the moon' just because Bitcoin did. They think if they hoard these millions of coins long enough they'll sell them as soon as they hit a dollar and become millionaires, but that's never gonna happen when you've got a marketcap of billions.
16118  Other / Politics & Society / Re: BBC Conspiracy Files 9 11: The Third Tower on: January 25, 2014, 09:51:34 PM
It doesn't stretch my credulity at all far to think that someone in the US government agencies or the corporate world knew in advance and kept quiet, but there isn't any actual direct evidence, just some very suspicious circumstances. Maybe some more evidence might emerge, but it becomes less likely every day that passes. It may well be consigned to history as a JFK type mystery, where the official explanation is lacking logical clarity, but there's also just not enough substance to the alternative claims made about the event.

I don't believe in the 9/11 conspiracy theories, but I tend to think the JFK Assassination probably was one. The film JFK is worth a watch.

The explanation for the buildings collapsing is up there with the magic bullet, and with the contradiction between "back, and to the left" and "violently forward, and to the right". More serious fires happened in buildings of roughly equivalent design both before and since September 11 2001, and the structure of those buildings remained.

Yeah, but those other fire-damaged buildings didn't have planes fly into them or were heavily damaged by falling debris etc. It's a unique situation and just because a building was designed not to do something doesn't mean it can't happen. Humans and buildings aren’t perfect, plus those towers wern't in great condition to start with.

Official story states that the fires caused the collapse, not the impacts. So your observations are OK, but the official story is incorrect. Besides, the planes are incredibly light-weight compared to the buildings, dramatic pictures don't make dramatic outcomes magically possible.

The official story as what's in The 9/11 Commission Report, which I've read, is laughable on several accounts. The collapse was surely a mixture of impact + exploding/burning jet fuel + fires.

To buy or sell BTC in person I would assume it would entail meeting someone in person and exchanging cash with BTC but then again I'm not sure?

Haha, yeah, it's pretty self-explanatory I guess.
