You Can Now Buy Bitcoin at Some Grocery Stores in the US

Bitcoin ATM company Coinme is partnering with coins-to-cash converter Coinstar to allow bitcoin purchases through Coinstar kiosks in a number of U.S. states, the companies announced Thursday.

At launch, only customers at certain Safeway or Albertsons stores in California, Texas and Washington state will be able to purchase bitcoin through the kiosks, though there are “plans to extend this offering to additional U.S. markets and retailers following a successful launch,” a press release said.

Fewww wheeee that's a lotta data. Good lord.

If anything you can use the pwned website as a password frequency checker.

For example, the password "bigdick69" was used 5,308 times in the data set.

In more relevant news to the thread, the price of Grin is starting to stabilize around $6.50.

Yes but people should not check their logins and then their passwords without deleting their cookies. Even checking their logins and then their passwords with the same IP and user agent is not safe IMO

Despite everyone's biggest fears that keep getting repeated ad nauseum, he flat out told people not to invest in it now seeing as how 60 coins are produced every 60 seconds and its highly experimental, unproven software that may have zero value in the future.

Yeah, I'm not making major purchases now or anything. And I definitely wouldn't mine it if doing so becomes unprofitable (though in fact it seems very profitable right now due to hype). Price-wise, IMO it'll start looking like a good buy if it hasn't been superseded by clones in about a year. I'll be looking for a point of low sentiment at that time. Some people have said that you'll need to wait like 3 years before it escapes from its inflation pit, but keep in mind that Bitcoin's inflation-rate-over-time was roughly the same in its first 4 years; such high initial inflation is why you saw people buying pizzas for 10k BTC like it was nothing. But growth, if it occurs, can overcome even pretty massive inflation.

The tech is just so awesome: a high degree of privacy combined with by far the best decentralization-preserving on-chain scaling tech ever devised, plus several smaller innovations in grin's particular implementation. Even if it was somehow guaranteed to halve in price every year, I'd still consider it cool and want to do something with it.

Confirmed.  Everyone (every single one) prepare to transition into Grin.

The grin mania is out of control.

I cant remember this enthusiasm for an ALT in this BTC wall observing thread.

Repost of a classic chart (source unknown):

This was drawn by a dumbass bear.

As seen in the chart, in both previous halvings BTC has pumped by at least 3x before the halving event and by at least 10x, immediately and violently, after the halving event. And this idiot is trying to tell me that the next time will be different.

Something occurring twice doesn't make for a convincing pattern to predict future events with IMO.

Give it a week.  Everyone will get bored and move on.
