The Jet Cash coffee lounge thread.

If your into pop music its crazy the amount of hits Max Martin has produced in the past 2 decades, its absurd.  Just shows how the music industry is dominated by a small group.

If you are selling cars or real estate, then sure, wait for some confirmations first

Paying with a card you are identified, so, yes, many thing could potentially happen, but you can be held responsible for them.

What is more likely is that the girl flexes her leg ( assuming that is where she placed the QR code ), and the transaction fails as a result of a bad address...

It would have to be a really "quick service" to finish before the transaction is confirmed. Once more, the sin comes with its punishment: If the transaction does not "confirm", the service could also be "not confirmed"... you know ....

Well it's basically a tip, so if the odd transaction fails it doesn't really matter. It may well be safer than leaving a cash tip on a plate, and then discovering that another diner has taken it. Or, even worse, having a staff box on the counter, and the only staff the get the money is the manager. I wonder when we will see a waitress leave a card with some QR codes on them for her tip.

What is more likely is that the girl flexes her leg ( assuming that is where she placed the QR code ), and the transaction fails as a result of a bad address. It won't be long before a stripper fits a near field reader somewhere, and just takes the tip as she sits on your lap.

That would be very cool: a QR code tattoo on a stripper, perhaps they could have a lighting system that goes off to simulate "making it rain"

I've given in and bought a pack of spiral bound notebooks for £2. I'm trying to do so many different things, that I keep forgetting settings and passwords. I've got into configuring the VPS that I've had for a year or so, and I've never used it, so I'm having to teach myself VPS management. I'm shocked by the hacking attempts that are being reported - anything up to 3,000 per day. I decided that I would lock it down as much as I could before I moved on to installing the new forum software to test.

I'm also interested in the Bitcoin price as well. It seems to be crossing a variety of indications and giving mixed and contradictory messages. The fundamentals still look strong, but I'm having trouble with working out trading strategies to reduce the cost of accumulation.

[paxmao]

The fundamentals still look strong, ...

Bitcoin has fundamentals?

Wash your mouse out.

Of course it has, you only need to look at the way the bankers are trying to take advantage of it.

I've been doing a bit of trading in Bitcoin, and I've just opened a buy position at £2,960. I've made some small profits from my trading, but I looked through my recent history. I see that I've sold at prices as low as £2,620. I'd probably have made more money by just leaving my purchases alone, instead of trying to be clever and boost my holdings through trading.

[TryNinja]

A bit off from the current discussion, but are you really 77?

Maybe you are Satoshi?

[Jet Cash]

Yep, and the first "computer" I worked on was and IBM 421 tabulator. I worked in the group accounts department for a major oil company in London. "programming" involved using plugging short wires into a plugboard to produce the output. I taught myself basic assembler, and moved onto 1401 computers when they started to replace the 421s.

Here is a picture of a plugboard



btw - there is no off topic in this thread. It is coffee room chat, so everything goes except for fighting.

I think I will never make money from trading. Hodling, maybe, but I remember the exact time when I sold a handful of my BTC at $270 back in 2015 because I really need the money for the wedding. No ragrets though, my daughter turns two tomorrow. Couldn't be happier!

[Jet Cash]

Congrats - that is really the great thing about Bitcoin. It has given some people the chance to make life changing decisions, and to improve the quality of their lives. There is no advantage in having a wallet full of Bitcoin if you aren't happy and having a great life.

[sapta]

Yes, 100%! Here I quote something from my reddit account:

I knew Bitcoin back in 2013. My life is waaaay different now. Not that I'm trading and stuff, but with Bitcoin, I can provide services online that I couldn't think of before, and get paid in Bitcoin.

A response to a doctor's post that says:

Doctor has no school loans anymore. I still hold some, but it's pretty much changed my life.

I still encourage my friends to at least read about Bitcoin, specially now that Indonesia *finally* treats Bitcoin as a commodity that can be bought and sold.

Ah, you're a bit of old school mixed in with new school.  I hope to be exactly that if and when I get to be your age--most of my family never caught up with the internet revolution and sort of just let that pass them by.  Not sure how anyone functions in today's world without knowing the basics of computers.  

I also use a spiral-bound notebook for keeping passwords and other stuff like that in.  Then again, I'm a fountain pen enthusiast and thus enjoy writing as much as I can.  I usually keep all the notebooks I've used over the years, and it makes for interesting reading as time goes on.  I've found that my memory often fails me, but I can always tell what I was doing or thinking if I've left a paper trail, so to speak.  A notebook may catch fire, but it's not going to crap out and become unrecoverable like my last computer recently did.  That was inconvenient.

Hey, you changed your username.  Is that recent?

Ah, gotcha.  I just haven't seen you around in a while.

BTW, not that anyone here really cares, but I had to change my password when I got my new computer so it'll show up as changed on my trust page.  For some reason I didn't write down my password for bitcointalk in any notebook and luckily I was able to change it on my phone.  I thought I was going to get locked out, which would have sucked to no end.

No coffee lounge can be complete without some Spanish guitar music, so here are some great tracks. I like the pictures as well.

let's play this BTC song > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OydMZkUnBOc while chilling at the coffee lounge and reminiscing about 20k.

I think less time spent in McDonalds, and more exercise is the answer. When the weather improves, I'll spend some time clearing my garages. Here is a pic of one -


I've got eight like that.

A bit of swimming at Hayling Island will help as well.

You have inspired me that photo is wonderful.

You have eight of them nice.

I have two sheds. A greenhouse and an attic along with a guest bedroom all need a clean up.

It's not quite as bad as that now. The battery was dead, so I ran it in as scrap.

Have a cup of coffee sapta, welcome friend :-)
Buy as much coin as you wouldn't suffer a great loss if lost, put it away and spend time with your little girlie.
