Is it possible to send an additional miner fee? This protocol is such a mess.
It's not possible at the moment, you will have to wait for the network to confirm.  What if the tx never confirms? Still waiting... Still stuck!! |

Yes, it looks like the whole turning BTC into something tangible (at least at scale) really is a problem, and hard to solve.
First, buying a ranch in Peru (which might be a special case), automatically puts you in the computers of the tax authorities, which, believe it or not, are much more controlling than the IRS in the USA. Our (small) business, for example, must send monthly EVERY Invoice with various details including customer ID (like our Social Security No.) as well as each item bought, price, address, etc. Rather burdensome. All that is sent on MS Excel spreadsheets. They are super-strict.
Second, I agree w/ iamnotback that Tax Havens will soon be out of business! Ouch!
I don't see how being in those computers means anything. In this case, the less customers for a supposed rental business, the better. In terms of converting crypto to fiat for the asset purchase and associated expenses, authorities would have to prove that the capital didn't come from something that can't be taxed. I don't know if my question about anonymous loans was too dumb for any of you to bother commenting much upon but say I wrote a contract on an anonymous blockchain stating I need a loan with open-ended terms ("I'll pay it back when I can", or for example, 0% interest anytime by the end of 100 years (and we may or may not be dead by then, either way who cares)) to start this business. The Internet provides the capital to start this wonderful business opportunity up. I purchase assets, leaving aside some of the principal for expenses. Keep operating at a loss. As far as I know, it's not a crime to never market your business and end up getting 0 customers. |

The key problem seems to be to be how you quietly convert the crypto to real-world goods.
I thought about this question awhile ago... critiques welcome 1. Create a business for say, home/auto rentals 2. Crowdfund to raise money for this business to start purchasing assets 3. Accept anonymous money from "donors" 4. Purchase assets Are you 12? Or just never had more money then needed to be taxed? What about anonymous loans? Would that be taxable income? Edit: if no rewards are offered, donations can be considered nontaxed income http://www.journalofaccountancy.com/issues/2015/oct/crowdfunding-and-income-taxes.html |

Dollar up, gold down.
Who didn't hear me (and Armstrong) incessantly when gold peaked at $1368?
Gold today $1188.
On the way to $1050. Then possibly $850. We'll have a bottom eventually and then 2018ish or so gold can shine again.
Hmm, just checked. Yep, my gold is still there! This grasshopper has the patience to wait until 2018 or even 2068. Our family's gold will be passed down through the generations. EDIT: A Happy Thanksgiving to all (Americans and not)! If you pause and really look, we all have much to be thankful for. Gold tanking because India is considering banning gold imports, if they do it could easily drop ~200 more from what Ive been reading. I don't know, considering correlation/causation The move will obviously inflate the price of gold in India Gold's prohibition there may even drive more demand Guns in America follows such a trend. Globally, India banning gold imports may actually be a signal to accumulate gold (preferably physical). Now how am I supposed to argue with someone suggesting a real reason to buy gold...? Only reason I can't right now is because it's not easy buying some here in Regensburg (Germany, we're on vacation). Regensburg, by the way, is very cold. Reached 1 degree C (max). Brrr... How does our friend Risto stand it there in his Estonian castle...? * * Because he's from even colder Finland? *shudder* well if India wants to ban all of their big notes, and now wants to ban gold... then obviously you know what is next to get banned! beanie babies and magic internetz moneys Their loss. |

Globally, India banning gold imports may actually be a signal to accumulate gold (preferably physical). But all of this stands in the face of increasing demand for knowledge as increased knowledge decreases the cost of the material. |

They've made good by me, too. Credited my account, which I withdrew to my wallet.
Only problem is that they skimped on the fees so the transaction has been sitting unconfirmed for several hours now.
Yeah, still unconfirmed for me. Is it possible this gets stuck in perpetuity? Mine finally went through and confirmed. The network is very congested right now and you have to pay slightly higher fees to get things confirmed in a reasonable time. Since your transaction is already on the network, it will sit there until a miner picks it up. It will not get returned to the sender or anything like that. This is a good site that estimates how many blocks before a confirmation based on current network congestion and fees per byte. Here's another cool chart that shows the size of the mempool. Mempool is basically all transactions on the network that are waiting to be mined into a block. Notice how just in the last few days it's gone from about 5-7 MB all the way up to 42 MB. Remember...max block size is 1 MB. So even if everyone stopped spending bitcoins right now, it would take over 40 blocks to clear out all the transactions that are waiting. Miners will leave low-fee transactions sit and include transactions with fees. I didn't know any of this until I started asking around about my own stuck transaction (which is now unstuck). Also, to be clear, even though it was a hassle to get my BTC back, Predictious has fulfilled their obligations to me at this point. Is it possible to send an additional miner fee? This protocol is such a mess. |

I'm happy to report Flavien and Predictious made everything great again. Thank you!!

Thanks for raising, yes we will follow up by email now! After the Presidential contract got resolved, many (lucky!) Predictious winners cashed out, and due to the high amount of withdrawals, some withdrawals didn't go through. We've reviewed all of them and are in the process of resolving all issues. Please rest assured your funds are safe.
I've sent in multiple emails re: withdrawal errors since 2 weeks ago. Please respond. Same here. See my post a couple messages up. I still have heard nothing from them, and my account still erroneously says it's empty. Sketchy. I cannot recommend this service because of this and will likely not be using them again, pending extraordinary rectification. Fairlay provides great service and are super responsive. I can tell they really care about their business. |

I think I would easily choose the stronger side, but in a world with nuclear proliferation it's hard to say. |

I really wish that electoral college in my country, for it's sole purpose to prevent running politicians from targeting densly populated areas.
Had Trump won the popular vote, and lost the elections due to the electoral college, then no one would have said that the system needs to be scrapped. Hillary lost because she tried to rig two elections in one year (first the democrat primaries, and then the POTUS elections). The rules were clear even before the results came out. So just accept the results rather than whining like a sore loser. nope because she is literally a black witch and the most dishonest person on earth and her party is unable to self inspection. losers. You can say that again. LOSERS |

I do not recall when I have seen such a Monero shortage in the lending markets. Looks like there are massive short positions built. If the margin calls hit us, the price will go to incredible heights. On the other hand, if there is a huge dump, there are takers to it (covering of the short positions).
Interesting to watch where are we heading. Personally I do not care much but I still have my popcorns and diet Coke ready for the show.
Real men drink normal coke... Are you on a diet or something?  Have you paid attention on the fact that it is the fat people that drink diet coke only. That being said, I prefer diet also because the regular coke do not make me feel young again but just tired. Any difference with Mexican Coca-Cola (cane sugar instead of HFCS)? Curious. |

I agree with this analysis.
I wonder if the younger generations who use social networking and have grown up in a much less racist world then Soros or Rothchild will be harder to divide.
I wonder what the mass prozac pill popping epidemic will effect this division.
I wonder if the Simpsons forecasting the Trump presidency was a form of black magic.
Not necessarily black magic. Artists tend to be sensitive to things without time. Likely just a very well connected subconscious. Fluffy reading but kind of gets at what I mean: http://highexistence.com/carl-jung-artistic-impulse/Also relevant: I have recently started reading a book titled the Way of God: Derech Hashem It was originally written over two hundred and fifty years ago by Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. This book caught my attention because I heard it described by someone as the most systematic exposition of monotheism fundamentals ever written yet its author claimed he received direct instruction from an otherworldly being he identified as an angel. That was a very interesting juxtaposition so I picked up a copy. Below is a passage from the book. We are well aware of physical things, and their natural properties and laws are well known. Spiritual concepts, on the other hand, are outside our realm of experience, and therefore cannot be adequately described...
One of these fundamentals is that everything in the physical world has a counterpart among the transcendental Forces. Every entity and process in the physical world is linked to these Forces... These Forces are therefore the roots of all physical things, and everything in the physical world is a branch and result of these Forces. The physical and the spiritual are thus bound together like links in a chain...
The existence and state of being of the physical universe thus emanate from these highest Forces and are dependent upon them. Whatever exists in the physical world is a result of something that takes place among these Forces. This is true of both what existed in the beginning and what transpires with the passage of time.
These Forces were the first things created, and they were arranged in various systems and placed in different domains. Everything that came about later was a result of this, following rules willed by God, linking these Forces to the physical world. Everything that happens in the past or present thus has its origin in processes taking place between these Forces.
The existence, state, pattern, and every other quality that exists among these Forces are a result of what is relevant to them by virtue of their essential nature. The existence, state, arrangement, and other phenomena involving physical things in turn depend on what is transmitted and reflected to them by these Forces, following the essential nature of these physical entities.
Once you acknowledge the possibility that information content is not orthogonal to our physical world you force a total reevaluation of the human condition. We must consider the possibility that rather than masters of the universe we are actually among the lowliest of the low. --- The younger generation grew up on propaganda, but we have the benefit of accelerated communication and propagation of knowledge. i think Tim Leary said something to the effect that by the 1990s, most Americans would have grown listening to Bob Dylan and The Beatles and such and these people will increasingly change societal governance in alignment with the values these artists shared ( Neuropolitique). Edit: "By the year 1998 two-thirds of the members of the U.S. House of Representatives will have been, thirty years before, fans of Bob Dylan and the Beatles." http://martinex.org/pdf/self-development/%7BEN%7D_%5BLeary,Wilson,Koopman%5D_Neuropolitique.pdf |

Thanks for informing!!! I don't have single inch of envy to learn myself about the electoral college... you know why? What the united stateans have done to America and the world disgusts me deeply.
A little bit of Zimbabwe wouldn't be bad... you know gated community burning nations wide, skyscrapers penthouse free falling on their block, empty stores, air space blocked by Shanghai alliance, all their assets wiped.
Maybe then will they rediscover humanity and humility.
