As long as you get your food stamps and your welfare check, it feels good, eh?

At this point, I've had it with the current banking system.
Let's just pay everybody in Bitcoins and get this over with.

Not actually clear about what type of cheques now (was assuming the OP's quote of my post unchanged meant my question was wrong therefore he was talking about "bank cheques").
Personal/company cheques take days to clear so obviously they are of no use.
Even with bank cheques I'm pretty sure that (at least in Australia) it would require physical inspection (not a scanned picture).
Walmart can clear checks instantly, along with some banks. The technology exists -- at least in the US. |

Unfortunately I think pretty much any transaction that a bank does is reversible.
In regards to cheques are you referring to personal/company or "bank cheques" (as certainly in Australia they are treated very differently)?
Cheers,
Ian.

Assumptions:
Bank cheques are not reversible;
A picture of a cheque can be validated within an hour of being sent;
Cheque fraud can be easily mitigated in high-risk situations;
If the above assumptions are met, would it not be viable to have a smartphone/web application take pictures of client's bank cheques, validate and deposit the respective money into an account, then in turn send Bitcoins to the paying client?

The solution to oil has nothing to do with drilling for oil. The solution is Natural Gas. We are capping wells we've drilled because too many were drilled the prices have dropped. Gasoline engines can be quite cheaply converted to run on natural gas. We have enough gas to drop oil demand, and all it would take is a small tax credit program for conversions.
If we could convert to natural gas on just tax credits, I would be impressed. A vehicle can be converted for $300 in parts. Enough people have gas lines to their home to get the vehicles on the road. Once there are vehicles on the road, gas stations will start carrying natural gas. Canada and Europe already have many natural gas powered vehicles. We're lagging here. The economics are there, it just needs a small nudge in the right direction. Now I am really impressed. I will certainly be researching this. How abundant and affordable is natural gas? Thanks! |

If we could convert to natural gas on just tax credits, I would be impressed considering it's money that already exists. |

I'd like frogger on a 5.25" floppy, thank you very much.  Will you settle for oregon trail for the Apple I? Does it come with the Apple I? An Apple II should suffice. http://www.virtualapple.org/ |

Well, get rid of subsidies and tariffs as well. Also fix the legal system so that individual's find it easier to get compensated fairly for whatever they may lose due to the excavations.
Since all of this will not happen at once the point is somewhat moot.
Do you believe that all residential living will be ruined because of oil excavation? |

The US government is barring oil companies from drilling on so-called "public land" and rather have us depend on foreign countries for our oil supply.
In turn, gas prices go up, the cost of shipping goes up and so does the cost of food and other necessities. Before we know it a 50% increase in the cost of gas will be a nearly identical increase in the cost of bread.
The statists proclaim that it should be the individuals duty to go to alternative sources of fuel; otherwise, the hungry man can suffer and the working man can lose his job, because he can't afford the commute.
Is anyone so wise and so virtuous to dictate how we should travel and how we should sell and ship our food in the name of cleaner air? That is the question.
The fact is when the individual truly wants an electric vehicle, she will have it and no sooner. To force her into starvation and poverty to reach the end of cleaner energy -- is that truly preferable?
It won't only be the business owner bearing the cost of this governmental experiment; it will be the average individual as well.

Yes, the project development board supports this in title but is culturally-closed and open to only serious discussion about serious projects.
A board dedicated to bounties would be more receptive to such requests and people would be able to go to one place to just support the bounties they like, rather than sorting through other things.
Additionally, people with just ideas can have a rung of the ladder to step on, rather than being shooed off because they don't have a serious business plan for a serious project.
I highly suggest the staff implements this simple but highly effective request.
