Apparently it's not just the water, but anything made with the tainted water, that also gets the fluoride. So put the waste in any city's area (in my case, almost the whole state) and you have a lot of fluoride going everywhere.  Even if you purified your water, anything home grown is going to be an issue.  What to do, what to do.  Everything's poisoned, aside from whatever's imported.
Honestly, move somewhere that doesn't flouridize if you're that worried about it.

You say it like I can pick up my house and jog to a non-flouridated community Grin  Tho to be frank, I've been thinking about leaving America all together, so I'll chalk this up as another reason why I should go.

You can try posting at localbitcoins.com, you'll probably find a lot more people after you.  It would be wise to get the Bitcoin first, then sell them Tongue  But if people go for it the way you're doing it, then they'd be paying for the convenience, which I don't see a real problem with.

I already have bitcoin on hand.

localbitcoins will be your best bet then Grin I'd post in both places, then, if you have a lot to sell.

People think it's a scam because their pre-orders haven't been delivered in almost a year; the date they say they'll ship has been pushed back and pushed back and nobody wants to put up with it anymore.

These reports against bitinstant are starting to be too frequents to be just a small glitch.

I noticed they've been consistent, too; seems like everyday someone's having an issue with it.
3387  Other / Off-topic / Re: Your water is tainted on: March 31, 2013, 03:33:27 AM
I checked my city recently to see if I've been flouridized...

I have been Sad  So hopefully this is a reversible thing.

I love Litecoin for the fact that the hardware I have can aftually make a profit mining it! CPU mining has been dead on Bitcoin for ages now, but it still has a hold in LTC. I still plan to invest in Bitcoin trading, but now I'm expanding into Litecoins as well.

Always good to diversify Grin  As they say, don't hold all your eggs in one basket.
3389  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Maximum value of bitcoins on: March 31, 2013, 02:58:32 AM
If America used Bitcoin instead of the USD, each whole bitcoin would go for about 2 million dollars.

Then again, the dollar's so inflated it could float into space at any given moment.

The no-fee method can sometimes take a very long time.  Rest assured, it will get processed, but with a timeframe of "eventually".  I remember someone waited a whole day...not sure how long it should take, however.
3392  Other / Off-topic / Re: [NOTICE] A few friends and I... on: March 31, 2013, 02:08:51 AM
hang on i'm confused. So your saying i should sell because the price will fall? Or buy because the low price will be artificial?

Both; sell before she sells, and then buy after she's all done selling and the price will have dropped.

That is, if you believe her Grin

Virtual: being on or simulated on a computer or computer network <print or virtual books> <a virtual keyboard>: as
a : occurring or existing primarily online <a virtual library> <virtual shopping>
b : of, relating to, or existing within a virtual reality <a virtual world> <a virtual tour>

Lots of different definitions for virtual, but this one seems to fit the bill Tongue  I mean, nobody shakes their head at a virtual auction anymore.  Sometimes virtual is a good thing.  But that doesn't mean it isn't real, which is just the trouble of the English language being fickle with its intention.

What about the religious point of view - that growth is not a good thing. That gold is good because it is stable and does not grow like Bitcoin?

Just sayin' Wink

The Church of Satoshi would like to have a word with you.

"This is the only way we can beat [the money masters is] for each of us contribute a little bit now. You can make a lot of money trading in bitcoins, but ultimately will that satisfy you in the end when in so doing you are neglecting the real source of human political freedom?"

3399  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Apparently englishforum.ch really doesn't understand Bitcoin on: March 31, 2013, 12:16:39 AM
I'm not going to go there and figure out the context...

but sending an address coins IS a risk and a barrier to people and not too much of a stretch to consider it as one side making unregulatable or restrictable IOU promises.

Until you make use of a third party or escrow, bitcoin is inherently an IOU risk, that's its nature.


Explain how that isn't true?



Where I'd disagree is how its any different than any other currency: those also require third party or escrow enforcement. the difference is, they don't give you the option to do otherwise.

I don't quite understand where you're coming from.  Once you send coins to an address, they're gone forever, unless the owner of that address has a reason to send them back.  It can't be an IOU when nothing is owed, unless you're referring to the good or service which is charging in Bitcoin.  At that point, they'd owe you for the BTC, but you never IOU a Bitcoin, as once you have the tally in your wallet that states you own it, that's that.  Then again, in a way, any form of money can be perceived as an IOU, as nobody holds gold with the hopes that they will someday eat the gold for sustenance.  If people decided gold was no longer money, you'd have a bunch of shiny yellow stuff that could be useful in wiring, but not much else.

With all the free browsers in the world, why do you insist on using IE10?  Normally, when something doesn't work for one browser, and yet works for every other browser to ever exist, we can rest the blame on that one browser.  I've had so many issues with IE not working right (and once when I attempted to create a website, I had to make special exceptions just to let the IE browser work at all,) that I don't see why you would prefer it.

I also hear Safari isn't half bad, but I don't like anything made by Apple.
