This sounds a lot like Venmo. Being able to send payments, instantly, via text message (sort of). Is that it?
Since there's so much confusion on what exactly this is, perhaps you could start by revising your elevator pitch so strangers to the idea can get the gist of it and why people would want it, what need it satisfies, more quickly.
I would sign up for this, but how are you going to fund the payments - via ads? Sounds like something we all are pretty familiar with, minus the texting part.

Real madness. Instead of subsidising electric cars, they want to tax them more. And btw, gas guzzlers will end up paying the same tax as fuel efficient cars. Talk about misaligned incentives.
I would also love to see how they implement it (measure your miles, that is)
You should start by reading the article, there's a lot of comment on how Oregon plans to monitor this. And at a minimum, the state could required Odometer readings on tax returns and then audit a certain percentage. Also, if gas guzzlers will end up paying the same tax as fuel efficient vehicles no one has a right to be upset about it...how does that "mis-align incentives"? I don't think taxing fuel efficient cars by the miles is supposed to incentivize anyone, it's supposed to recapture tax revenue that's been lost due to lower volume of gas purchases. |

Where do you all think this education may first enter the kids lives - and where? With Parents, early schooling, late schooling? Would it occur first in Europe, Asia, the Americas?
I'm glad so many people have found this topic worthy of reading and comment.

Is it possible that a successful fork could increase confidence in the Bitcoin infrastructure, thereby causing incentive to buy more?

Was Bitcoin meant to stay underground, in the dark, used by just a handful of people?
I feel like mainstream use (which we're not even close to) is the inevitable goal, right?

No one will ever contact you unless they're looking for people who wants to be on either:
Their referrals
Data entry job interest
other outsourcing/grunt work
You want bitcoins? You work for it or buy it. If you want a large scale of bitcoin right away then go buy bitcoins and invest them on something like trading. Open up your eyes wide open. This forum contains tons of information on how to earn bitcoin. Don't just post and wait for miracles to come, get your ass out there and explore.
Can this be a standard comment to all (ok most) topics created in the Beginner section? Too much of this - i'm a beginner so I'll as a beginner question - shit is going on, when ALL of the information people need is available here. Newbies just need to explore and read. |

imho, bitcoin is a very good investment, since you can't loose all of your investment (bitcoin can't go to 0) and the upper limit doesn't exist on price, but still
it is also very unlikely to make you 1000x return in few years like it already did tho.
cheers
Why can't bitcoin go to zero? (Or let's just say 1 dollar/euro/pound?) Don't kid yourself, I believe it can certainly go that low...just like every other investment in this world (even the stuff that has a tangible backing like gold). |

if you have above 10, better to not say it, because last time i did that, plenty of scammers newbie has sent me fishy link and every kind of things, trying to infect me or whatever....
pretty annoying...
Great advice! So is it universally accepted that if you have BTC10 or greater you're a whale these days? It's good for all of us to have goals! |

Cas MS67 Silver Tenth at 1.75 shipped in us. I'll do it, PM sent. Please share the sale price of the MS69!  I'm sure many of us are curious. I will ask the winner if they mind me posting it. I am willing to cut some nice deals on the 67 graded stuff...hit me up! Hey Blazed, What is your minimum for the silver 0.1? I will take 1.75 shipped if you USA based. If you want to take a MS-67 single I will cut a break. Damn, sounds like a new market price has been set for the tenths! Nice work, to both of you, beautiful looking coins. |

Can I get a picture of your snails, at home on the range? I can understand shipping in a small container, but it's the living that I'm concerned with. That one pic had a 100 snails on top of each other. The snails I see in "the wild", err my neighborhood, are roaming on grass all alone, not crowded like a mega city.

Wonderful looking pipe. How old is it? And if you don't mind me asking, why are you selling it?

Can you share some close up pictures of the hologram?
Interesting coins, I like the new look. Thanks.

I think you're, how do they say "preaching to the choir" here.
Cool article. Oddly Atriark had a similar article, perhaps last week, claiming that Litecoin would be the best investment of 2015 - which begs the question if this source is claiming two different investments to be the best in the same timeframe they may just be trying to sell page views rather than investment advice.
That said, Bitcoin is an investment that I want to be a part of. Good luck to you.

Back then, the American dream was liberty... for white property-owning men only.
Fixed that for you. Nice add. We need to keep these charged rants fact-based. I love the rants, I hate the omission of important details! |

Madness. What could be more simple than a gas tax?
If you do more miles you pay more. If you want a honking V8 you pay more.
No extra bureaucracy or Orwellian surveillance needed. Oh wait...
Bingo! The point is not to modernize the tax system, but to create another system of surveilance. Full control of everyone is coming. Thats what american goverment wants. On the internet it's already hear! If you make one more post on here after reading my comment you're accepting that reality that nearly everything you do on the internet is tracked - not actively, no one is looking at "Cryptominer" (most likely), but the information is available. |

I'm thinking about where I plan to be during that week, just incase shit goes down. If I haven't lead a god-fearing life, is their still a chance to catch that train out of town?
And if I am goin' to hell in a bucket, at least I'm enjoying the ride...

I'm a fan of use taxes, it's a fair way for people to pay for common services they use in proportion to how much they use it.
It's a bit funny but not surprise that people are complaining about this. When you change the way someone has to think about something, even when the result is about the same, there's opportunity for people feel the change is somehow making them worse off.
The article quotes the gas tax to be $0.30 per gallon. A 1.5 cent per mile tax would equal 30 cents a gallon if the car was getting 20 miles per gallon. The $0.015 per mile seems about right when you think about how many miles a tank of gas buys. I don't think the people of Oregon are paying more by paying per mile, however it's getting tax obligation back in line with use, which goes away with more fuel efficient vehicles. The alternative is deteriorating roads or tax hikes in other ways (i.e., local income taxes).
This isn't the big bad government trying to gouge people, it's about paying for common services based on use. This is an example of how taxes SHOULD be applied!
Truck drivers and cabbies should be taxed more than regular commuters? If they use the roads more than regular commuters, absolutely. And they should also plan to pass some of that cost down to the people that ride in those cabs or transfer goods in those trucks. |

How many Jim Beam's deep are you?
Don't forget that the King of England also levied taxes without the opportunity for the countrymen to vote, that's was a pretty big reason for the shift to what the US made popular again (and what Greece invented), this thing call Democracy.
If you believe your religious freedoms are at risk, vote to change it. If you think your right to bear arms is at risk, vote to change it. Don't sit in front of your computer and bitch, anonymously to a bunch of strangers. Stand up, do something, act. Just do it peacefully.
Enjoy your Independence, mate.

The countries that are opposed to the US point of view on handling this situation should do less bitching and moaning and more acting to do what they think is the right course of action!
What's Cameron waiting for, engage in the fight if you want to make a difference!
The US doesn't want to arm a potentially volatile religious faction in Iraq after having spent so much time and money trying to stabilize that country. The US is trying to avoid making mistakes they've made in the past where they've armed local militias that have then ended up fighting the Americans a decade later.
The US isn't the only authority on this topic (although the US often takes the risk and leadership in such situations), the Eurozone countries should recognize this and demonstrate some leadership of their own.

To the OP, Bitcoin tourism isn't about people selling travel services via bitcoin. Bitcoin tourism is about people going on vacation, being tourists to locations that are historic for Bitcoin or doing some work (while on vacation) to advance the Bitcoin project.
