[Selling] One Soul

[FatherMcGruder]

Guys, stop joking around with this stuff. Before you know it, Louis Cyphre is going to come along and make you kill Lisa Bonet.

I wonder what happens to human blood when it runs thru an inkjet printer cartridge...

It dilutes the ink lowering the value.
Blood is a lot cheaper than printer ink.

It also clots in the nozzles, plugging them.

This can be prevented by consuming an anticoagulant rat poison such as D-Con three to five days prior. These use agents similar to warfarin to make blood clotting impossible. Once extracted for printer use, an antidote of Vitamin K can be given to ward off death due to internal hemorrhage.

Can't you just add an anticoagulant to the blood after drawing it?

Where's the fun in that?

Consuming the rat poison is a necessity. It works by blocking an enzyme responsible for the recycling of vitamin K, which is used in the clotting process. Only after the body's supply of vitamin K is depleted will the blood cease to clot. This takes several days. This is also why vitamin K is an effective antidote.  Since this is the Bitcoin forum, I might clarify that vitamin K means phylloquinone, not ketamine.  Alternatively, blood from someone with hemophilia may suffice. But they may not be the one selling their soul.

EDTA, the stuff in the purple capped vacuum tubes, won't suffice?

It voids the contract. You can't modify the blood outside the body and then use it to sign a legal document.
You need to use it as it comes out. I don't know why loading up on heprin or something similar wouldn't do it.
Also we could avoid the inkjet and just write it by hand. I think a quill pen would be the best but a fountain would suffice.

Does it even have to be blood. I can think of a few other, ah, fluids...

[Belkaar]

I'll sign a soul transfer contract with my blood and mail it to you.
Unfortunately I don't know a notary that can do DNA comparison.

[bitlotto]

Perhaps confirmations would work? God sometimes chats with me so I could ask to confirm said transfer of soul. 
Others could do likewise who are nodes to god.

With me you could have:
0/unconfirmed
turn into:
1/(agreed upon number) confirmations.

Not sure how many confirmations are needed though...

I recall something from catechism about how we can sell our souls because they don't really belong to us. Make of that what you will.

Ahhh, yes, I believe Homer cheated Flanders/the devil that way.

I recall from somewhere that souls don't even exist. Make of that what you will.

No, it was more like the worst sin ever because you were basically stealing from God since your soul belongs to him.

Heh, I'm not exactly a poster catholic. Just reciting what the church dictated to me as a child.

Yeah, I'm a former Catholic, so I knew what you meant. Guess I should have included this:

Nope, he actually tried to double spend :-). He gifted it to his wife.

I am hearing that posession is 9/10 of the law. An i definately posses my soul :-).

bitlotto: How about you get a 10 percent transaction fee if you confirm the transaction against god.

Deal. And my proof of confirmation will be just my word.
