I remembered this: In 2008, anticapitalist campaigner Enric Durán borrowed €492,000 ($642,306) from 39 different financial entities with absolutely no hope or intention of paying it back. But—as you might expect from an anti-capitalist campaigner—he didn't spend it all on diamond kitchen knives and luxury frisbees. Instead, he ploughed it into a number of unspecified anti-capitalist causes and spent the rest on Crisi, a free newspaper that detailed how he'd done what he did and urged others to do the same.
That display of reckless Robin Hoodery turned him into a hero overnight, but the one problem with becoming a hero through questionably legal means is that, for whatever reason, the police feel like they have to go and lock you up for it. Enric spent two months in jail in 2011 and was released pending trial, which was set for earlier this month. His minimum sentence would be eight years, which might explain why he refused to attend the first trial dates, prompting a warrant to be put out for his arrest. full text: http://www.vice.com/read/spains-robin-hood-prefershope he's got a brain wallet!! |

They would have a more difficult time in the near-term future spending their BTC but I suppose if one wants to destroy their credit this is a good idea. Personally I already ruined my credit so I can't really entertain the idea to begin with.

i'd like it if you ate a hallucinogenic drug that turned you into 3D-Simpson like that one Halloween episode.

Being one of the very few Chicago businesses that accept bitcoin I'd like to offer a night out for fellow bitcoiner's for food/drinks and I'll cover the bill as long as everyone pays me in bitcoins prior to ordering. What do you guys say? Aiming for sometime in the next 2-4 weeks.
i'm in. haven't tried any nootropics in years but i might order some from you, cool. |

You can actually spend BTC on pretty much any website with bitspend.net
Well not quite. I just tried Bitspend for the first time and after 4 days of my order being in limbo with the retailer Bitspend had to cancel the order because the retailer (zZounds.com) required them to provide a bunch of personal info. Currently awaiting my refund from Bitspend. |

Paper wallet? Or a physical bitcoin from the physical bitcoin producers?
I have also sent bitcoins as gifts using Coinbase, you can send to an email address and the recipient has to create an account to claim their payment. However if it is unclaimed after 30 days it gets returned to you!

Make light of it if you wish. A lot of you wont be laughing when the exchanges serving the US (and Europe for that matter) get shut down one by one for non-compliance.
When that happens we'll buy directly from the miners with cash money. |

You can use blockchain (app) on an iPhone. I always hear of people saying that it only works if you have an older version of blockchain or older iOS but I've upgraded multiple times and I always have full functionality. Download it from the app store.

I find it annoying that I can receive bad feedback from someone based simply on the fact they contacted me.

I'm not sure that I like the Bitcoin logo changing color from a pleasant gold to darker orange, reminds me of the color of Triaminic syrup.
