I've been meaning to follow up on gold for bitcoin, we don't mine silver here though
cgcardona:
i'm positive that whichever one was recently on Reddit/bitcoin (
i think amagi) requires min of 200oz of silver cause
I checked that day.
mircea_popescu: HeySteve
i imagine the amagi / coinabul / whoever else pays the same exact fees
HeySteve:
I believe any number of gold rounds can be sent, but insurance and shipping charges will be steep
HeySteve:
I looked at shipping krugerrands but there's a low allowance on what one can send annually

I have to hire a great work force to compete with those cyber criminals, and some of those kids want to smoke weed on the way to the interview,""
dexX7: danielpbarron: oh hey, correction: you actually can quite easily sign raw transactions offline with bitcoind, but you need to supply the scriptpubkey of inputs, see
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=bxrEyqbt for an example
artifexd: mike_c:
I also changed the bot to not put the links in parenthesis. Thanks for pointing that out.
assbot:
I AM HODLING | Bitcointa.lk
artifexd: "Furthermore, putting bitcoins on your phone is probably the goddamn stupidest thing that
I've ever heard of. Bitcoins are going to be the world's reserve currency4, and as such fated to rise to prices per coin that dwarf even the outlandish Winklevoss' most media-hungry "predictions". To leave such a precious commodity within reach of anyone with a USB
danielpbarron: assbot is definitely not posting MPEX stuff; all
I've seen for the last 24 hours is havelock trades
danielpbarron: it sounds like the thing
I want has yet to be written
BingoBoingo:
I haven't dug into bitcoind that much.
I just run it as a dumb node, making sure it plays nice with the network and then largely letting it be.
BingoBoingo:
I think electrum has an offline solution for transaction signing.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron:
I like the idea of separating roles.
moiety:

fluffypony: "hey look how cool
I am, member of the American Bitcoin elite, proud Foundation bronze member, free Ross Ulbricht!"
Apocalyptic: <bitcoingirl> if
i want to short BTC, what would be a good strategy? // borrow them from someone
fluffypony: this part: "
I learned it last summer when
I spent 3 BTC on a $450 case of wine in Kelowna. Today,
I could’ve bought that case for 0.64 BTC, and probably more like 0.1 BTC before long, then 0.001 BTC, etc."
fluffypony: bitcoingirl:
I'm a major shareholder in a group of companies
fluffypony: bitcoingirl: every time
I've tried doing any sort of short-term trading
I've lost money...
I'd avoid that space unless you have tons of experience
bitcoingirl: if
i want to short BTC, what would be a good strategy?
moiety:
i usually check ident when
i wake up too, and this morning
i just thought, nah it'll be fine lol
moiety: gribble must have had a huff while
i was asleep?
bitcoingirl: sorry if these seem like dumb questions -
I'm just jumping in WOT
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell anarkitty hey there. ima be out for a few hours, but please don't go anywhere,
i wanna talk to you whjen
i'm back. you can talk to me directly by going /query mircea_popescu whether you have voice or not.
fluffypony: most of the people
I'd trust with any portion of my money are not particularly "nice" people. Approachable, sure, and always reasonable, but not nice by any definition of the term.
mircea_popescu: cazalla has an excellent theory,
i had no idea he's another zhou tong
moiety:
i totally understand that.
I'm the way
I am because
I didn't know the business of it all,
i knew the character and thats why it's so hard for me to believe
BingoBoingo:
I just can't get over TF losing a decade from his age by becoming insolvent.
fluffypony: moiety: and just to re-iterate,
I don't know the guy, so
I'm not judging his character either way,
I'm just saying that *anyone* with sole control over that amount of money would have a tough time staying honest
mircea_popescu: bitcoingirl ok but make it quick cause
i gotta go to town in a few minutes.
mircea_popescu: the difference is that
i can write a check for ten millioin dollars to a stripper, if
i feel like it
mircea_popescu: this happens to also be why
i'm quite so powerful. sure there's other people with money on twitter, VCs or whatnot.
fluffypony: and once you've stolen a little it snowballs into "how can
I steal the whole lot"
moiety:
i know fluffypony it's just too hard for me to believe that
cazalla:
i'll see if
i can find the recording
moiety: no, not an argument, just what
i feel
moiety:
i was a mod at coinchat then he just gave the thing to me when he left
moiety:
i wasn't really watching the forum through all of this,
i knew him in a different capacity
moiety:
i don't think he did though and
i believe he reimbursed what he could out of his own funds
moiety: and
i still dont believe he is a scammer.
gribble:
I have not seen anarkitty.
moiety: why do
I never get the ping timeout thing? is it my client?
