I have added some of the titles now to my BitMit store.

As I find time, I will offer other games on BitMit as well.

Let's talk business on PM, OK?

Small chicken-shaped country in the Centre of Europe. Why?

Shameless bump

All the games are still available for sale — come and get them while they're still vintage

I can suggest Luana's Bijoux — a webshop of handmade bijoux.

I contacted her via e-mail and although this was her first sale with BTC, she was happy to receive it.

As promised, the shipping costs were included in the price offered on the website and the package arrived as promissed in one week's time. She dispatched it the very next morning after receiving the amount.

Only one word of caution: these are not real stones, but same-styled beads, and the metal is plated non-allergenic zinc — as she also explains in the e-mail. For that amount of money you should not expect anything else anyway. That being said, they are still nicely crafted and my girlfriend likes them a lot.

All in all it was a very pleasant experience trading with Luana's Bijoux and I would do business with her again.

Since that first Bitcoin sale worked out nicely, she enlarged her Bitcoin-Webshop a lot

Hey!

Oh, things are OK. Quite busy with FSFE, studying and whatnot, but there's a glimpse of a bright future

And you?

Shameless bump

The *only* real standard is an open standard.

Inspired by the I buy vintage PC games for Bitcoins thread I've decided to sell a part of my collection of vintage/classic PC games, which are mainly from the 1990's.

All games are originals (d'uh!), were played and cared for. Before selling each game, I check the CD(s) to make sure they still work.

If you are interested in any of these, don't hesitate to ask or contact me (e-mail, XMPP/Jabber or PM).

More games will be added as I dig and sort them out…

These are games to which I have the original boxes. Unless otherwise stated, the boxes are from standard editions and include original manuals, original jewel case and everything that came with the box (often even the registration card.

notes: jewel case replaced, everything else (incl. EULA) included

These are games to which I do not have the original boxes or (mostly the case) I never got or they never had cardboard boxes. So they are kept in the jewel/CD cases. Unless otherwise stated, they do not include any manuals, booklets etc.

Mission Force: CyberStorm; Sierra

Return to Zork; Infocom, Activision
notes: includes original booklet/manual; should come "with computer hardeware or perhipial devices", which I suppose is true, since I bought it in the computer store where I bought most my HW anyway

Hyper Blade; Wizbang!, Activision
notes: includes original booklet/manual; should come with a Diamond Monster 3D, but in my case didn't (same reason as with Zork)

Test Drive 5; Pitbull Syndicate, Accolade

(not sure if he needs any more cred, but he deserves it regardless ) for the same transaction as he mentions in previous post. Was a pleasure dealing with you.

I traded some BTC for EUR with him and found the EUR on my bank account the very next day (would be same day if the banks didn't take their time for the transfer)

So does this mean I can upload my BTC to Bitcoin Central and get EUR on my bank account and vice versa?

AFAIK they're still thinking about it. But maybe if more people would pledge to donate via Bitcoin, it'd be easier.

Oh, OK. Thanks. So basically just another digital currency and not EUR.

WTF is a LREUR and what makes it different from EUR?

But, I'd need your e-mail address in order to do so

Hooo, me and my brother were trying to get outselves to sell some of our collection of the 1990's games for years now.

If you're interested I could e-mail you the list with details.

I don't think bob@irc.example.net is valid. Also the whole idea of URI's is that they're unique. Cut them up, and they're not.

E.g. I've seen quite a few people with their own XMPP servers, where their e-mail and XMPP addresses were identical. So if you skip the protocol bit in the URI your system can't tell one from the other.


You are right there. My bad.

IRC, right.

While we're at it, should we use URIs for those?

e.g.
irc://irc.freenode.net/hook ← user "hook" at server irc.freenode.net
xmpp://matija.suklje@gabbler.org

Another problem is that

I see that I can add YIM, AIM, MSN (none of which I use anymore) to my profile, but there is no option for XMPP (commonly known as Jabber).

Since this is the only popular FOSS IM protocol and the only decentralised one as well, it'd be nice to have it as an option.
