I mined around 20 Bitbars, which equaled to around 0.8 BTC couple of weeks ago. Looks like I was on a fork and they never confirmed sadly. SO right now I am stuck with my 0.00001 something BTC. I'm trying to mine Altcoins in order to fund a telescope an mound. I'd need around 2.2 BTC for that. But most of the things I mine turn out to flop on Cryptsy.
Maybe if you're patient those coins will end up being something. Hope you get your telescope soon Smiley

Thank you! I wonder if people here would be interested in my star pictures when I do get that telescope?Reading about Faucets I gave them a go and got some 0.000****1's! Better then nothing Smiley Plus someone sent me 2.5 FTC. At least they appeared in my wallet recently. No idea where from Smiley

About the Faucets, you need patience and determination to get something, you can get like 5 cents per hour!


Why would anyone waste their time for 5 cents an hour? That's worse than sweatshop wages.

Just eating the microwaved leftovers of lastnights kebab and washing it down with coffee. Glorious.

Meh, the life time of a kebab is a 20 minute window, after that it is a lost cause IMO.

Clearly you've never microwaved one before. It's like gloriously reanimating it from the dead.

This is amazing. You need to boost your marketing, it seems the more terminals that are installed in department stores, the more people will come to know/use/love BTC.

Imagine if Walmart or Target had these! Bye bye credit cards!


I don't think Bitcoins will get rid of credit, unless there's banks that start offering Bitcoin credit cards haha. Maybe in the distant future.
16225  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how do you earn trust points? on: January 25, 2014, 11:34:38 AM
Equally you can get bad trust if you have screwed somebody over.

Or if someone just wants to troll you. Troll trust isn't removed by mods. Sad

True, just like eBay right? I've been trolled on eBay before with an unwarranted neg. Needless to say I bided my time and got the bastard back. That feel was satisfying.

Yeah, but at least you have to actually enter into a deal with them first.

Hey guys! I just read that tiger direct is now accepting bitcoin! More info here:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/bitcoin/

As with Overstock I've never heard of this retailer before, but I'm all for any store that starts accepting Bitcoins. I hope it has a snowball effect and I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before the big retailers take note.
16227  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A friend's idea to promote on: January 25, 2014, 11:10:21 AM
So where's this fleshlight fundraiser? I've been working out especially lol.

I'm not quite sure. My offer was still standing, but we haven't gotten any additional donations with committed amounts. The fleshlight campaign may be dead in the water, I'm afraid.

I doubt you'll get any other donations, but maybe Monica is willing to throw some Sexcoins in the pot? I'd suggest starting a new kitty thread but I'm still sceptical if many people would chip in. If Guybrush bottles it I'll probably do it if I can stick a sock on my schlong haha. Or maybe a giant Bitcoin logo?  Grin I'm just trying to weigh up in my mind if it's worth it for £25 of Bitcoin  Grin

I will pitch in 2000 sexcoins Smiley But what are we getting again?

Hey but I would request some kind of Sexcoin promo and bitcoin promo if you go for it... kind of like the ones I have been doing ok?

How much is 2000 sexcoins worth haha?
16228  Other / Off-topic / Re: black people not into bitcoin? on: January 25, 2014, 11:07:34 AM
Not to be racist, but I don't know a single black person that owns a bitcoin or is in the bitcoin world.  Anyone?

Tread lightly my friend.

I usually find when people start a sentence like that they usually end it with something completely racist, or are in fact racists and are just trying to be as PC as possible  Grin.
16229  Other / Off-topic / Re: What other ways do you use to make money online? on: January 25, 2014, 11:04:52 AM
Can you guys show me another safe place but make money easily for me to work?

Define 'safe' and what are you prepared to do?  Cheesy

Protip: There are no places for you to easily make money online; it's a myth.
Well, I don't know about easy, but you can post here for sig campaigns. If you don't have a job, you can take this one up as a job.

I agree it's probably the simplest and quickest way, but maybe not if you're going for the big bucks as you have to put quite a bit of effort in Grin.
16230  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: how do you earn trust points? on: January 25, 2014, 10:57:56 AM
You also must check the person that give the trust feedback because there are many case he make many acc and then sent positive feedback to each acc

Yeah, those are called sock puppet accounts. And check for evidence of trades and transaction histories etc. And just because somebody has positive feedback for selling $5 worth of Doges or trading 0.005BTC successfully doesn't mean they won't scam you out of your money no matter how little it is.

With the defaulttrust setting, all those feedback from "untrusted" accounts should be hidden automatically.

Pretty sure there's an option to turn them on or off.

And attempted posts.

Welp, this is incredibly annoying. I just want to post in a support thread for coinmine pools.

i have NOt ONCE been able to post, why is no one addressing the fact that this is a catch 22. i keep seeing people say "the more you post the less your restriction is!"

Not good at all, but unfortunately hard to find a manufacturer that doesn't do this. People like to think they don't support this sort of thing but sure most people would be more opposed to prices going up to allow fair wages without hurting profit margins.

There's an alternative coming in the mobile phone industry, called PhoneBlocks. There are some good vids on youtube explaining it. Essentially, it's a phone with customisable/replaceable parts. Must be better for the environment too.

Wasn't that just a concept and not an actual workable idea? It's great as an idea, but I'm not sure how workable or how easy it is to implement.

Nope, Motorola have teamed up to start making it

http://m.ibtimes.com/phonebloks-motorola-partners-3d-systems-modular-smartphone-future-project-ara-1485168

I'm still sceptical this will work out, and if it does it won't work anywhere near as well or look like how it's presented in that video.

What makes you say that?

Because the technology and electronics doesn't really work as easily as just swapping parts around - Phones are not just elaborate lego designs. It's a great idea, but not sure how technologically feasible it is. Read the comments: http://hackaday.com/2013/09/13/ask-hackaday-can-we-do-better-than-phonebloks/ & http://www.reddit.com/r/electronics/comments/1m4m0f/this_is_currently_on_the_front_page_a_good/

I'd love to be proved wrong though.

Yeah maybe you're right. I would have thought Motorola would know a little about electronics though. I guess we will see. My wifi has gone in my iPhone so I'm all for being able to replace it that easily!

Well it's a good idea, but not sure if they can pull it off as much as they'd like too. They'll probably just end up with a phone where you can replace the battery or a few other parts easily. If they do succeed I doubt it'll look or work as slick as the one in that video, but as I say, I'd love to have my scepticism demolished.

Do you actually know any black people in real life? And why the hell does someone’s ethnicity matter? I don't know any native Australians or Innuits or lesbians that hold Bitcoin either but we don't really need to question why that is.

Snoop Dog recently tweeted that he would sell his next CD for Bitcoins and deliver them by drones.

I don't think he was being serious.

That is a bit extreme, I am not a terrorist.  Tongue
 

No, but the USG is. Fight terror with terror, right?

And I bet I'm on some NSA watchlist now  Grin.

Coming in thick and fast from the BBC:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25809011

Quote
Today Bitcoin is accepted by a small number of retailers, and David Woo, head of global rates and currencies research at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research, believes that most do so simply for the publicity it earns them.

"Companies like Victoria's Secret are probably using it to brand themselves as hip," he says.

Suppose it's as good a reason as any, but why not accept it if they use a payment processor where it's immediately turned to fiat so there's no risk with the price fluctuations, which is stated as a worry in that article?

Helen Mirren.

Yummy...

Such a gilf lol.

Helen Mirren is fit. Glad that I am not alone in thinking this haha.

Mirren is a qilf.



Just finished watching 2 Guns... Typical buddy "cop" flick, though Whalberg and Washington make it fun.

I love how Whalberg doesn't even try in his movies. I started watching 2 Guns a few weeks ago but my bros bluray player decided it didn't want to play the file 20 mins in  Grin.

Hey looking for an escrow service to trade DOGE for BTC.

Minimum fees, need some sort of verification


There's a list of trusted escrowers here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0 but not sure which of them handle Doges (Dogehandlers?  Grin). I guess this forum now needs it's own trusted escrower list.
