Confundes a Pitchbend porque piensa que el símbolo $ es del dólar.

Electricity rates aren't linear in Mexico, cost per KW/h more than doubles everytime you exceed a certain threshold for a certain period of time. It's a form of punishing high usage. Also, if you reach the high consumption rate (tarifa DAC), it may take a long time to revert to a previous status.

Baja California has been especially notorious for high bills during summer, but I'm not sure if that applies to all cities.

Wow, that first link to Metartsites is kind of a hidden page? The charge for monthly access there is half of what is displayed on the regular sites. That's unfair if you're not aware of it.

I find this interesting because I've looked for a way to offer some adult content, but the processors impose ridiculous fees and requirementes alleging chargeback risk and Visa/MC compliance.

Pienso que la forma más fácil y medianamente segura de tener oro es adquirir monedas, a menos que en tu país esté prohibido. De pequeñas o grandes denominaciones, si tienen oro, siempre valen. Hay que tenerlas en sus cápsulas de plástico porque también cuenta el estado de conservación.

El precio puede estar manipulado y ser impredecible, pero el oro siempre vale. En este momento el oro está barato y tal vez sea la oportunidad.

Hace unos años que el oro apenas empezaba a subir, los empleados de los bancos me hicieron pensar que era muy complicado comprar monedas. En realidad sólo era ignorancia y apatía de ellos. Resulta que la Casa de Moneda tiene tiendas que venden directamente al público. Usé dólares de una cuenta gringa para comprar monedas. Ahora valen menos de lo que pagué jaja, pero sé que siempre las voy a poder vender y que las devaluaciones no van a afectar su precio.

Tengo un poco de bitcoin, pero como bien dicen, no una cantidad que me quite el sueño.

1- Some medical treatment.

2- Hire talent to speed up the creative things that I already do, but take too long for a single person to get done.

Nunca pensé que un día iba a ver unos miles de dólares menos y que no iba a entrar en pánico. Yo ya tuve mi primera pequeña crisis de novatez el día de la bifurcación. Por suerte para mí no pude vender nada y al rato todo estaba normal.

Me temo que no es nada fácil. El banco te va a sacar un porcentaje absurdamente alto por un giro internacional. De todos modos pregunta.

Si alguien de México ha usado MtGox, también me gustaría saber de su experiencia, pero supongo que es todo un enredo.

En mi caso yo he podido comprar desde México en Coinbase, pero se necesita una cuenta de banco en EEUU.

Yes, me.

I sent out btc shortly before the outage of yesterday and that's still pending.

Yes that sucks. I'm also currently in a place where there's little chance of buying.

But lucky me, in a trip to the US, I opened a bank account.

I can't sign up to Dwolla or any other site that requires a US address, but I was able to buy at Coinbase.

I'm hoping to see this back online as well.

I've had purchases rejected so many times, probably because I don't reside in the US. Even if the destination address is in the US and the card is issued by a US bank, payments get declined, even Paypal payments.

They will, eventually. People across the region have a hard time receiving and sending money, fees are too high. Paypal only transfers funds locally in a few selected countries.

There's Cuba undergoing blockage, making goods difficult to obtain. Venezuela and Argentina currently have tight exchange controls, so people there face limitations trading with other countries.

I've heard of quite a few cases of digital artists whose Paypal accounts are terminated because they do some racy "adult" art commissions.

One of those artists posted on a forum sharing the bad news and bitcoins were suggested half jokingly as a payment alternative, saying nobody understands them.

That made me curious, gathered information and enden up buying.
