Nice haul! That "heart" is a beauty, how did you get them to add the word "Heart" to the title? Also, is the box how they packaged the coins that were returned to you?

Thanks.

Haha, this is funny. I think this guy is trying to sell his account name to scrape together the money to pay back his debts that lead to his negative trust rating!

Pierre, I might be interested...no escrow and given your trust rating you'll have to send me the username and password first. Thanks.

If I'm reading the website right I think the loaded 1/100 coin is priced 300% greater than face while the 1/10 coin is priced 30% greater than face (did I do my math right) - what's the reason for this difference in premium between the coins?

Thanks.
1204  Economy / Economics / Uber says denies plans to accept bitcoin payments on: July 10, 2015, 06:34:55 AM
http://www.coindesk.com/uber-denies-plans-to-accept-bitcoin-payments/

Uber has denied that it is currently integrating bitcoin as a payment option for its on-demand mobile ride-sharing services.

Suspicions regarding a potential announcement first began to circulate on social media yesterday after a user posted a cryptic interaction with one of the company's help desk representatives to Reddit.

The text of the message suggested that Uber was "currently making bitcoin work" for the service, but offered few supporting details.

However, a representative for Uber indicated that such assertions were unwarranted, telling CoinDesk flatly: "This story isn't true."

...there's been a lot of chatter about Uber using bitcoin, but for now they're say "no". However the details around the latest speculation and denial imply that maybe they are planning to accept bitcoin but just aren't ready to announce it yet.
1205  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Rapture / Comet Predictions for September 15-28th (2015) on: July 10, 2015, 06:28:26 AM

The pope is going to be in the US visiting the White House on that day meeting the president. There's a rumor, the pope is going to declare their are aliens. I believe he said he would baptize them if they came. The bible doesn't talk about aliens, but it does mention that God built the stars and and the universe and the world, etc, and lists each one and everything He did, but lists the stars/universe as helping us out. If there was some other reason for them, such as to add alien lifeforms, He would have listed it here. Instead He lists what they are for:

"Scripture tells us that God created the Sun, Moon and stars to give light (brightening the utter darkness of the night sky) and to assist mankind (Genesis 1:14-15, etc.). That's right, one of the reasons that God made the Moon, solar system and stars was to provide a way for us to distinguish the passage of time (days, months and years) and predict the coming of seasons. Without these heavenly bodies, the job of keeping time and navigation would have been far more difficult. We learn from history that from the earliest days, ancient peoples used the movement of stars in producing their calendars and finding their way across great distances, just as God designed from the beginning. It may be that even some migrating birds make use of the constellations." (link)

For a pope to admit something like believing in aliens, it really shows He's not following the bible and Christian message. He's been deceived.


I had a few additional thoughts on this comment about the Pope. I don't think it would be blasphemous for a Pope to say if aliens landed on this earth that he would embrace them. If God created all things, he created the beings that live on other planets. It would be wrong for the Pope to deny the opportunity for these ETs to be accepted as one of God's creatures.

It may not follow the practice of the Catholic church, but we all know the Catholic church hasn't followed the Lord's gospel page for page, letter for letter (otherwise they wouldn't stand for the child abuse accusations and convictions that have occurred over the years...among other wrongdoings in the church.)
1206  Economy / Economics / Re: CEO of Bitcoin Startups Listed on the Forbes Top Ten Richest People In the World on: July 10, 2015, 06:03:16 AM
It would have to be (likely) when Forbes considers assets in bitcoin as part of one's wealth. I bet they don't even consider how much bitcoin someone has in their wallet as part of the top ten richest list.

Some of the venture capital funding deals may identify a few potential targets too. Startup founders skyrocket to the list after a nice IPO!
1207  Economy / Economics / Re: Marketing on: July 10, 2015, 06:00:03 AM
A few ideas for you:

-I could help you, I have a a lot of knowledge in the area and we could work out a fee-based deal for the advice
-You could check Amazon.com or similar sites for books on developing marketing plans
-You could search blog posts about marketing plans and piece together the opinions of many to get you started
-Coursera (nod to the previous poster) is another fantastic option

Let me know if you'd like to discuss my knowledge on the topic, PM is probably best.

Good luck to you!

An attach may also lead to bad press, "bad business" as they say for the company, industry, or political/business figure that launched it. It would demonstrate an establishment attack on what could be characterized as "the people's system"...giving Bitcoin more credibility, if only in an activist sense.
1210  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Visa: Bitcoin Has a Future in Payments on: July 10, 2015, 01:00:17 AM
interbtc, what's your take on Visa's point of view on bitcoin?

I think Visa has known for a long time that bitcoin has a future in payments, however they've been waiting until theirs was enough irreversible momentum and other champions of bitcoin in their market before coming out and admitting it themselves. Why announce the legitimacy of a competitor until they really need to, right?

Probably the most shocking part about this statement is that the announcement is an insult to bitcoin and makes Visa look foolish. Bitcoin doesn't have a future in bitcoin because the future is here...bitcoin is a player in payments. There's only growth from here.
1211  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you live stream? on: July 10, 2015, 12:56:04 AM
Outdoor sports activities - biking, skiing, climbing.

Flying and hang gliding would be cool too.

So anyone practicing anal or oral sex or sexual activity between a person and a non-human animal (bestiality), but may also include any non-procreative sexual activity.

Or anyone who is a resident of Sodom, from the bible of course.

Is this really a surprise?

P.S. Sodomy does not mean homosexual.

1214  Economy / Economics / Re: Free Candy Bar or a 10 oz Silver Bar? Hmmmm, let me think! on: July 09, 2015, 11:50:42 PM
Candy Bar ,ofcourse ? Because the candy will always give me the kind of pleasure which is more than what i desire. All the time , yes. But if i talk about the silver bar. We need to keep in mind that the price of silver keeps on fluctuating , so maybe if a bar of silver is giving me some kind of utility right now , the other day that utility can be less. That's not the case with candy bar.

What if the candy bar melts? I choose the silver bar! Think about how many candy bars I can buy with a silver bar, loads!
1215  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [WTS] Casascius Coins on: July 09, 2015, 08:03:10 AM
Blazed, are you liquidating your whole lot?

Nah just selling of some...I would never liquidate my entire collection. I love these coins too much to sell my private stash off  Tongue

Dazed: I have no "extra" Silver/Golds that are graded that high for sale. I do have a couple not graded getting ready to be sent in though.

Are any coin grading firms beyond ANACS accepting these coins?
There is NGS(?), however they are nowhere near as reputable as ANACS, and they tend to give out higher grades (usually at least one grade higher), so people tend to not seek out highly graded coins they grade quite as much

Quickseller, I think the opposite is true in the numismatic world. NGC and PSGS are ranked really highly while ANACS and others are ranked as average. See this survey -> http://www.bestcoin.com/Rating-Coin-Grading-Services.htm

The real question is which of these accept bitcoin for grading. I've only seen ANACS slabs. Maybe I'll send a note to NGC and see what they're willing to do.
Take a look at this thread. Pistachio had coind that was grade MS069, and MS68 by ICG. Blazedout later sent the coin to ANACS and they scored MS66 and MS67, which is two whole grades below what ICG gave them (which is a large difference).

My understanding si that ACACS and ICG are #3 and #4 in the coin grading world, however #1 and #2 will generally not grade physical crypto coins  Sad

Thanks for coming around, sounds like NGC and PCGS may be #1 and #2 in the business (there's only 5 or so widely known coin grading firms). What I'm getting at is if NGC and PCGS are more highly regarded in the coin world then a physical bitcoin graded by them could command a higher premium for sales.

Great articles. The topics are meaty but the writing gets to the point and keeps it simple and the reader engaged.

How do people follow you on Altcoin Press?

On a side note, where can one get some waffle eating expertise - recipes, tips, local haunts?
1217  Economy / Economics / Re: My Full speculative synopsis on: July 09, 2015, 05:09:15 AM
Need proofreading? I responded to your other thread - I just want add that I have a background in investing so I have some content knowledge as well. Let's make a deal!

I'll proofread articles for you if you like? We can work out an arrangement...PM me if you're interested. Good luck to you.
1219  Other / Politics & Society / Re: NYSE Mysteriously Halts All Trading on: July 09, 2015, 04:44:29 AM
I mentioned this in another thread, but I'll mention this here too so more people can learn how the process works with the NYSE. This issue was likely a glitch as they mention. The NYSE already has a process in place to halt trading when the market slides more than 5% or so, it's called "the curbs". When the curbs are in the market stops trading to allow things to settle down and to protect investors from losing everything across the board.

The curbs were used in the bond market crash of 1987, the dot com crash of 2000, the 9/11 crash in 2001, and the credit crisis crash in 2008. So, if China was the reason for the halt, the NYSE would have just said so. It doesn't help them to lie about things like this, they're in a business where trust and fairness is directly correlated with their success.

Just thought you should all know that there's nothing shady going on.
1220  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [WTS]Casascius Brass halves ungraded (2013) on: July 09, 2015, 04:32:25 AM
Panthers,

Thanks for the pics. I'll take the coin 12CAHKaZ for BTC0.75.
Sounds good. The amount including shipping to the US would be .772 BTC. Please either send that amount to the address listed in the first post or contact the escrow provider of your choice and PM me your shipping information.

Assuming that payment is either received by me or secured by escrow by then, I will ship it out and have a tracking number either this evening or sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Nice. Escrow has been secured, I'll PM you and the escrow agent with some details. We can keep the process confirmations public on here or privately in the PM, I'll defer to you on that as this is your thread.

Looking forward to a quick exchange!

Thanks.
