No update yet, but we can assume that Faysal is about to hit the ice this weekend, predicated upon the weather.

What does that equate to in USD so that I can put the [?] in Post #2 of this thread? About $22 - Litecoin has been on a roll lately, climbed to $4.20 from about $2  I forgot to thank you, Tirpon, for you generous donation to Sean's Outpost. Although it comes to 17.6, I'm putting you down for [18] meals, opting to round up, for in the very near future I'll be adding more, rounding down my contribution, thus balancing out. Great job guys. I sent you a bit. Keep up with that.  Hey, Zephir. Would you be so kind are to supply a Block Chain tx showing your donation unless, of course, you've opted to keep it private, of which is no problem. If that's the case, you can PM me, whereupon I'll cloak the source, yet still be able to add it to the running tally. Running Tally: [1,828] Meals! (based on the exchange rate at time of donations)Sean's Outpost Bitcoin Address: 1M72Sfpbz1BPpXFHz9m3CdqATR44JvayddSean's Outpost is operated by Jason King, and all I do for them is maintain this thread. Zephir has PM'ed me, offering up proof via Block Chain tx, of which his donation reflects [80] meals. He stated that he has no problem with the info being made public, though I've opted to not link the tx URL, albeit it'll be easily found. That said, thank you so kindly for your wonderful donation, Zephir. Expect to receive a big hug from Jason later today. ~TMI BTCITW |

I've been privately speaking to Bruno about his constant posting of false information. We've come to an agreement/bet, here are the terms: Bet between Inaba and Phinnaeus Gage.
Bet terms: Bruno will refrain from posting false information until January 1st, 2014. False information is defined as posting any information that is false, incorrect or unverified, including overt, non-overt, implied, speculated or otherwise not backed by hard, verifiable facts and/or proof. Posting any false or incorrect information, making any implications or posting any "speculation" or unverified information will result in an immediate loss of the bet. Posting anything other than verified and verifiable facts will result in a loss of the bet. Posting with any sockpuppet accounts, alternate accounts or trying to circumvent the bet through third party posting, whether paid or unpaid will result in an immediate loss of the bet.
The bet is considered satisfied and won on January 1st, 2014 UTC if and only if Bruno Kucinskas or his agents have posted no false, incorrect, or unverified information as stipulated above. Any other outcome is considered a loss on the part of Phinnaeus Gage as per the terms of the bet.
The bet is for 10 BTC. If Phinnaeus wins, Inaba will pay 10 BTC to the BTC address of Phinnaeus choice. If Inaba wins, Phinnaeus will pay 10 BTC to the BTC address of Inabas choice and request and accept a permanent ban from Bitcointalk staff willingly and without recourse or appeal. If the Bitcointalk staff refuse to ban his accounts, for whatever reason, Phinnaeus will refrain from ever posting on Bitcointalk again, either as himself or any alternate accounts. Bruno said privately he would agree to those terms and I agree to those terms. I suspect I will have this bet won inside of a week unless he issues a self-appointed ban on posting anything... Bruno has already agreed with the terms of the bet privately, I assume he will do so publicly. It will be an interesting couple of months to say the least. Everything Josh stated above about our PM exchanges is accurate, and I agree to the above terms. I will now lock this thread as promised via PM to Josh. ~Bruno Kucinskas a.k.a. TMI BTCITW |

Most gov inept, agree?
Inept lose BTC private keys.
Less BTC to go around.
Higher prices for the remaining BTC.
All good.
Or a governments system admin goes missing the same time their stash moves unexpectedly   If Obama ever seizes Bitcoins, he will redistribute it to illegal aliens and the food stamp class.

Satoshi Nakamoto = TF = Phinnaeus Gage
End of story.
I highly doubt Satoshi Nakamoto will ever meet me in public to get in face and say, "I'm the most interesting Bitcoiner in the world." ~TMI BTCITW |

This is a dirty little secret of rogue telemarketing firms. And it's
probably happening right under your nose.
In my opinion, it's downright fraud! Make sure the telemarketing firm you work with
NEVER sells your leads to another company. Get this in writing.
You see, a lot of telemarketing firms have you sign lengthy contracts, and when a list is
exhausted from repeated calls, they need a way to continually produce leads. What could
be easier than to take a campaign you paid for and give the leads to someone else?
This happens more often than you'd expect. Legal or not, I don't believe many bitcoiners think kindly of having their vitals distributed to an unknown third party, especially by a Bitcoin entity that stated in their ToS that they wouldn't do such. I don't believe a single Bitcoin miner ever thought that one day they would be receiving a call from a telemarketer soliciting 20% off coupons, or whatever, safely assuming that such an occurrence would be über-slim, consider we're speaking about the belief systems of most bitcoiners. By your interpretation, it would be illegal for BFL to write your name on the shipping label because USPS is a third party. Further, if they use a third party logistics company to package up and ship the products, they would have to give the names and shipping addresses to the logistics company - by your argument they can't do this. In all these cases those are subcontractors, not third parties, by any common sense interpretation. roy To be clear, I'm not stating what took place was illegal, and the USPS analogy is a poor one, for there are federal regulations that must be adhere to, with same applying to all other major carriers. If such were never put in place, then the USPS, et al. would have ceased to exist decades ago, based on the privacy issue alone. OTOH, if the entire shipping department was farmed out to Bob's Express Mail, or the like, then there would be issues if such wasn't fully disclosed beforehand. If one read BFL's ToS, most would be under the impression that their vitals would remain solely with BFL, not shared with ANY other entity, period. |

I've been keeping track of my arrears, outline in the OP to donate $1.25 USD per day, acting a daily bump. Apologies for being behind. Hey, Jason, what are the chances of having Satoshi Forest host it's first Thanksgiving meal THIS YEAR? If you're game to sacrifice your normal Thanksgiving ritual, I'll gladly drive down and camp out to oversee the event. All you may have to do is take care of the PR, photograph and film, spend only a couple hours there, and make sure there's plenty of mouths to feed. To be clear, I'm talking about a real home-cooked meal, prepared right there in the woods. None of the that bulk-buying, ready-to-warm and serve stuff. How does cooking multiple birds Kalua-style sound? Lucky for you, you know TMI BTCITW, the only person capable of pulling this off. |

Atleast he's doing his job right?  Well , let me clarify. He seems to be the mod doing the most work , the fastest. ( or maybe he is just online at the same time as me ) I wonder if he is among the 20% of the moderators doing 80 % of the moderating. Might be. How does one around here become a moderator anyways? You wouldn't want it. It doesn't pay anything. Oh, wait...  |

When I used to host Writers Nights in Nashville, I had a friend that wrote The Nashville Number System. For shits and giggles, oftentimes writers would pull out random dollar bills (any denomination) and set music to the serial numbers. Many a times nothing inspiring developed, but I recall one night somebody produced a bill that the writer's got excited about, determined to write a country song incorporating the newly created melody. Don't know whatever became out of that session, but I was there to witness its beginnings. Now, who's up to the task of setting music to DPR's wallet address, now control by the feds? ~TMI BTCITW |

Grossly disproportionate rewards to a small community of self selecting early adopters.
So did the wheel. Wheels subsequent to the first one got easier to make. Had we applied a Bitcoin style model at this point wheels would be so difficult to produce that people would have to lease them off those that already have them. Creating more wheels didn't make all the wheels stronger. But, the wheels would have been stronger if all the wheel makers joined a pool. Unless a wheel pool had more than 51% of the wheels. Wheel makers are a smart lot and would never let such a thing happen. They would simply switch pools.  |
