I have a secret source who has a friend who knows the President of China.

He is rumored to have said, during a secret circlejerk, that they will be making Bitcoin the official currency of China.

Aye, right. The Chinese copy everything, now they r going to do that with Bitcoin. Will it be called Beetcoin, or Bitkoin, or Bitcion?

No, they will call it pandacoin, or dragoncoin... or pandadragon

Jade Rabbit comes to mind.

According to wikipedia you died in 1860. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage

This is getting weirder and weirder

"Phineas P. Gage (1823–1860) was an American railroad construction foreman remembered for his improbable[C] survival of an accident in which a large iron rod was driven completely through his head, destroying much of his brain's left frontal lobe, and for that injury's reported effects on his personality and behavior over the remaining 12 years of his life, effects so profound that (for a time at least) friends saw him as "no longer Gage."

Hahahahahah. Hilarious etc.

To be fair, davout is currently working on my three claims totally 1,100+ BTC via email.

To be fair too, I'm not in the "working on it" phase yet.  
Still in the "collecting factual information" phase. I'll try to update you this week.


... and the coward will not come out and confirm definitively he will not be returning my coins ... in which case I could initiate counter action ... so still waiting ... but the clock is ticking.

I asked you a couple of questions which you ignored. If you want a conversation, then converse. If you want a monologue then you don't need me.
If you, a bitcointalk regular, want to blame me for not finding five minutes in three months to make a claim, then go for it, blame me.

Whatever you call it or are doing, it's still an honest attempt to get a resolution, and that's what I was I trying to relay, davout.

does anyone else feel this way when wiping? no matter how hard you try, sometimes the results are just plain shitty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGCIGEUB32M
This happens when there's still a piece of shit hanging from your arsehole, and when you wipe, you're just dragging it across your arse without getting rid of it. What you need to do when that happens is grab the shit with the paper, and then you'll be able to wipe normally without using up the whole roll.

Great! Now everybody knows how to wipe their ass correctly, thus is turn less toilet paper will be sold worldwide. People will now be laid off and won't be able to afford toilet paper thanks your advice.

And, it gets worse! Less trees will be cut down, hence no more climate change, putting more opportunist outta the workplace.

I can't imagine what else you have up your sleeve. Probably some water injection device that resembles a toilet to clean one's ass, and you just so happen to be developing such a device currently available via pre-order only. I'll be watching you.

 I would like to open up a store where I sell variety of stuff. From iphone cases to *silkroad joke* alpacca socks. All kidding aside I will try to sell as many stuff as I can provide locally , I won't sell anything I can't see so it won't be a dropshipping thing . I will personally go and see the production sight and confirm that the product is what it says it is .

 I am not planning on selling stuff that are expensive , I am planning on selling stuff that are no more than 50$ to sell . Unless some extraordinary reason.
 
 I felt bitmart would have been a great name for this but it was taken already.

 What would you guys suggest?

Unless you're planning on selling only items within your local, that's a lot of traveling to production sights. Hell, if you live in East Texas, it's 700-800 miles to West Texas, and you wouldn't have left the state. Imagine if you live on the East Coast and some entity you like is located in the Midwest, there's even more driving. What if when you return home and get another phone call/email from some entity in Indiana? You're back on the road.

Unfortunately, this is only one hole in your endeavor, using your OP as the assessment.

without deposits coming in and withdraws still going out, BTCChina will become the opposite of gox and always be 2-5% lower?
or btcchina crashes to zero?

this gana be weird.....

they should just halt trading and give everyone their monies back, but they wont do that, so this is gana be weird....

It won't crash to zero. For example, the exchange operator could buy up all the cheap coins, and sell at a higher price overseas.

And also, theoretically, people could deposit with cash.

Or sell to all the rappers and rapper-wanna-bes to wear as bling.

Also, the Sri Lanka Campaign for Peace and Justice, a London-based NGO, just started to accept bitcoin (http://www.srilankacampaign.org/giveanonymously.htm) They actually started taking it a sort while ago, but forgot to tell us Tongue Does that disqualify them? (*looks at Phinneas*  Tongue)

No! They are fine! Endowment, I say.

They have added the option, http://www.srilankacampaign.org/giveanonymously.htm, and
They have been endowmented: https://blockchain.info/tx/414f6e58104b350941de9bb87d4db80707f9d2d423d7d66d5cfa47288dad8a1f

Endowmented or endowed?  Grin

Hi Phin, I made a shell of a Hive app for your charity but I don't know what to use for an image or what text to write in it.
Can you tell me what you would like to see there?


Thanks, bud.

Let's see how this would look, with the option of changing it if it comes across too lame.



Bitcoin100 was developed specifically to convince NPOs to accept bitcoin donations, then donating the BTC equivalent of $1,000 USD to non-political, secular charities that prominently display an option for their supporters to contribute bitcoins via their website.

Got another e-mail solicitation:

Our organization could use some help from bitcoin100
We just found out about bitcoin but already we're accepting them as donation. Within the next few months (after the holidays) we will be hosting a presentation to explain bitcoin.

Thanks,

Gini Lester,

(No offence, but their website is rather horrible looking.)

I sent a reply:

Hi. How long ago did you start accepting bitcoins? Bitcoin100's goals are to entice new charities to accept them - ones that might not otherwise be interested - and we can't basically give out bitcoins to bitcoin fans. Though if you will be promoting bitcoin in your local community, that would really help convince us to donate anyway.

Also, can you briefly describe what you actually do?

Thank you

4953  Other / Off-topic / Re: Has anybody ever carried a casket before? on: December 17, 2013, 03:00:17 AM
Yes, I've done it once.  It was my 96 year old Grandfather's funeral on my mom's side.  I watched your video and remember loading it into the hearse.  This funeral, more than any other, really disturbed me.  I was so mentally distraught by the end of the service in the church that I initially forgot to head to the casket for transport.  Anyways, by the time I realized what was going on, I see the casket outside waiting for me and the hearse to arrive.  I helped lift it into the hearse but I was on the top side of it, so it made handling it very awkward even though it was a short distance to cover.

At the cemetery, I moved the casket from the hearse up a small hill to the site of the burial.  It was heavy but there were six of us total so it was do-able, but still very awkward.  The ground was soft and wet and I kept thinking one of us was going to fall.  Naturally, there was already a small gathering watching the movement of the casket.  It's been almost 18 months since his death and I still think about him a lot.  He was a great man shaped by the Great Depression.

Thanks for sharing, bud.

The key part is that they are heavy with or without a body. I did see pics of Andy Kaufman lookin' pretty thin in his final days(?), thus was still taken aback when I saw only four men, one elderly, handlin' the coffin in the video like it was light. At the end, the oldest man on the left seems to push the thing in all by himself, albeit maybe rollers where in place. Take a look at that video again and see how none of the four are struggling much while preforming a task normally done by six able body individuals.

There definitely is a lot of money to be made by these celebrities who can help endorse products.
If they have a good following, just putting their name on a product can get it off the ground with very little marketing costs.

Glad to see celebrities (Richard Branson, Mel B., Snoop, Nas, etc.) backing Bitcoins!  The more the crazy and public attention, the betteR!

Justin Bieber should be next.

that's such bullshit. it wasn't your fault that those ungrateful kids didn't leave you milk and cookies when you dropped off their presents. in order for a man to get his cheese, he's gotta get his milk from somewhere.

I can't add it to the tally on this thread. BTW, I'm having trouble finding the transaction. Was a different address used?

I only learnt about Nakowa last night via Google.

Not sure what you're looking for, but putting two and two together, I think you're looking for a donation to Sean's Outpost via Nakowa. If that's the case, that's the first I heard of such existing. I guess I could Google it.
