Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[jbreher]

Well, that was a good movie (or a well-spent 90 minutes - whatevs).

[Rosewater Foundation]

I pity those

A cup of whatever you're boiling would probably give me seizures. It's a strange new world, I promise you.

So: topic swerve.

All y'all may recall I've been looking to Puerto Rico as a means of reducing capital gains taxes owed (I'm 'Merkin). But I've just learned of another (legitimate - according to IRS) potential route out of the system that may be as interesting:

Anyone interested in forming a study group? Or is there some other subforum here in BCT that might be better for such a discussion?

Thank you for the link. Extremely interesting.

North Charleston, South Carolina, might be the most misnamed place in America, a path through a weedy, desolate neighborhood with 20% unemployment and a 40% poverty rate.

Can I invest in meth labs?

[HairyMaclairy]

I would be buying shitty real estate in the SF tenderloin now.

[Gyrsur]

Jesus Gyrsur. I want to see the real version That's some next level figure there.

you trust the protocol which you verify with your own device which implements BIP 174. the other party signs the tx offline with his device and exchange a SD card with you. you verify the tx offline with your devices and after this you hands over the Cocaine.  

I just cant wrap my head around what prevents the hillbilly from spending that input that he used in his offline transaction with me on the block-chain before I can get home and publish the transaction myself.

Really I need to actually read the whole BIP myself and stop being lazy. Was just kinda hoping someone here would have a quick answer that would bail me out of all of that work.

maybe a collision if you upload the tx and he doesn't do that which prevents him to use the BTC a second time? have to read it too.

EDIT: but then you have to be fast! interesting! must study it!  

Got it. The Cocaine buyer have to sign the BIP 174 tx with the amount and have to upload it at home. then he and you will meet in the wilderness. you get the sd card with the proposed tx but it's not final until you sign (and check) it offline with your own device. than you can hand over the Cocaine. And if you're lucky you will get a bullet too.  

EDIT: the difference too exchange a pure private key is you have not to wait for at least one confirmation if you transfer the amount away from the private key from the buyer. you check and sign the proposed tx OFFLINE and the coins are yours. that's it! maybe a currently OFFLINE mobile wallet with BIP 174 support can scan a QR code from the buyer without exchanging a SD card.

EDIT2: can't resist!

I don't know if you're serious or not. You tend to be serious. But good god, man. Gluten is really not good for you!

Anyway, it's really not good for me

In this case I'm quite serious.

Unless you're part of the tiny minority that actually suffers from real celiac disease, gluten is indeed good for you. It's protein.

Peanut butter is also good for you if you don't suffer from a nut allergy.

Unfortunately many people have been led astray by pseudoscience books and websites. The kind of people who believe this hogwash are often the same ones who think colloidal silver is a cure for everything and subscribe to holistic medicine while cursing "big pharma".

I'll let them turn their skin bluish grey and suffer from malnutrition. I'll stick to a healthy diet of a variety of fresh meats, fruits, vegetables and dairy products, cooked as little as possible.

As for "big pharma", they cured my hepatitis-c 2 years ago with 3 months of taking a daily pill with no side effects. Seems they isolated a protein the hep-c virus needs to replicate and developed an inhibitor. Hooray for modern medical science.

Sorry to hear you can't enjoy this fine food.

Alright, from what I understand wheat gluten isn't really dangerous unless you're a freak like me. But grains generally aren't a great food source. They all contain prolamines that increase intestinal permeability to some extent. In fact the underlying prolamines of most cereal grains are so genetically similar they might as well be wheat. But for the grace of teh gods I can still eat some corn, but I think we both know it really isn't food at all.

It's a real autoimmune disease, not a fad diet.

Eat fish. You can't go wrong with fish.

The tasty kind from chippies are out. Who wants to eat a salmon

[JimboToronto]

I thought you were a steak-protien centric sorta guy.

I guess one could be an consummate carnivore, and have a penchant for pasta besides... I just didn't see that coming.

I'm indeed a serious carnivore but I also eat a wide variety of other foods.

I do avoid excess starches and sugars, consuming them only in their natural state with lots of soluble fiber. I eat whole wheat, oats, and nixtamalized maize in moderate amounts. I eat almost no rice. I always eat all the skins of potatoes and other tubers while maybe throwing away the starchy fluff. I don't drink filtered fruit juices.

I don't eat eggs, although I can tolerate small amounts if they're diluted sufficiently such as a binder in a meatloaf or in baked goods if there's not too much added.

I do make exceptions. I use pure cane sucrose in my coffee and I'll have a small piece of a birthday cake to be polite. I do eat white wheat pasta but the goodness of the extra gluten compensates for the excess starch. I also tolerate whatever sugar is in my dark chocolate.

The one carbohydrate I don't avoid is alcohol.

[Rosewater Foundation]

I've started all sorts of vitamins and minerals to supplement all my new deficiencies. L-Glutamine is probably the most interesting. It's supposed to assist in muscle cell repair. I'm all muscle and bone now. I can do 36 push-ups on my toes. Like a monster of energy.

Meanwhile, my despair seems to have subsided. I can only attribute this to the B12.

All y'all may recall I've been looking to Puerto Rico as a means of reducing capital gains taxes owed (I'm 'Merkin). But I've just learned of another (legitimate - according to IRS) potential route out of the system that may be as interesting:

Yes, I'm aware that celiac disease is is a real disease, albeit not as common as some would have you believe.

That's why I mentioned nut allergies. They're real too. Sufferers can go into into anaphylaxis with even minute amounts.

Most people, however can consume nuts and gluten with no ill effects.

Sorry to hear about your gluten intolerance.

[bitmover]

Maybe you just look down on those who attempt to engage in self-improvement BTC trading practices?  I try to share tips with folks, and yeah, I understand that it can be a bit overwhelming to attempt to employ something like I do, or some variation or even some variation that you attempt to tailor to your own situation.

What do you do?

Are you going to sell now at 8.000?
Did you bought at 5800 ?

[jbreher]

Carolina

[jbreher]

Iodine supplements, man. I'm telling you...

Also, Rick is going to be super happy when he wakes up, with the way Bitcorn prices are shaping up.

Dude has decided he's going to ragequit his job if/when BTC hits $20k USD.

I'm hoping Rick gets to quit soon.

[Rosewater Foundation]

Yes, I'm aware that celiac disease is a real disease, albeit not as common as some would have you believe.

In fact the most up to date medical research suggests it's quite a bit more common than some in the processed food world would have you believe.

gluten intolerance.

A gluten intolerance, like a lactose intolerance, is characterized by the inability to digest gluten and/or lactose. A celiac disease is when your immune system attacks the protein found in wheat as an invader. It's a powerfully unpleasant experience.

Sorry to hear

Thanks.
