mircea_popescu: I DEMAND MY IMAGINARY WINNINGS!
mircea_popescu: there's a world out there i tell you.
mircea_popescu: today i learned.
nubbins`: maybe i'm just jealous tho, because nobody would buy nubcoins
KRS1: Max Keiser‏@maxkeiser 28 Nov Somebody out there should start a 'keisercoin' I'm pretty sure it would go from $0 to $100 mn. pretty quickly
nubbins`: i tried on like fifteen different ones before i found one that (a) i liked and (b) fit well
pankkake: when I chose mine the other options were not very good looking either
nubbins`: ...and i literally have no use for NFC
nubbins`: and i already have a ring D;
pankkake: the stealth bomber looks better than the classic… but I don't even have a use for the first one :p
ThickAsThieves: cept i dont need more
ThickAsThieves: it's a promo link i got for being a backer
ThickAsThieves: i ordered a couple fromt the kick
nubbins`: hey, i remember those
pankkake: I've ordered one (through kickstarter, though they also were open on a bitcoin one)
nubbins`: Dr Greg uses words that I don't understand
ThickAsThieves: I think it came out pretty slick

jurov`: i know, just trying to get gossip going

ThickAsThieves: yknow who's pretty sharp that i didnt used to pay any mind, Crumbs
jurov`: ^this. that's why i find it soo funny
jurov`: dats not him. i met him irl
truffles: he seems like talker so i just wondered..
firstblockchain: <dub> I live close by. Seen plenty of people bit by those little shits.
unbalanced: Exciting times. Anyway, I'll shaddup, catch you all later!
unbalanced: I'm more used to lurking and reading but I think the senate hearings and Chinese adoption have gone to my head this week.
unbalanced: nubbins, I'm just projecting my paranoia about even coming out and disclosing that I use bitcoin.
firstblockchain: unbalaned - thanks again. Just contacted support - I'll keep an eye out for confirmation. Let me know if any issue arises on your end. Cheers!
unbalanced: If not, I understand... but you post pics of yourself and your gold coins dude...
unbalanced: nubbins, PM me your shop address and I'll send some your way, if you aren't washed away in the footage I saw on the Weather Network today
unbalanced: I envy your Tim Ferris lifestyle but now I don't have to envy your coffee.
firstblockchain: Meanwhile - I'll fire up the roaster. Just got the latest green beans from the Bali Kintamani farms up the mountain here at the pad - roasted and cupped samples yesterday. I think you'll like these.
firstblockchain: Unbalanced Nice - thanks. I'll send in the requested support ticket. I assume they'll touch base with you to confirm that's what you wanted.
unbalanced: I'll take 10. Do I need to sign off on the ticket?
firstblockchain: unbalanced - your choice - happy to ship 10. I'll box them up and send them express EMS in that case. Appreciate the support either way!
thestringpuller: i want to buy the best coffee on the planet how much?
unbalanced: Just send me 10, I'll spread them around.
unbalanced: I'm still not used to $1000 BTC.
firstblockchain: Quite the extreme - say, all the Chinese fiat investors, startups concered only with Gov't regulations, etc.. I met at Bitcoin 2013 in Singapore a few weeks ago - and say, what's been going on HERE for apparently much,much longer
firstblockchain: unbalanced - been a wild two months since I started it. I figured, let's just do it and see what happens. Mostly getting to meet people involved with BTC and learning about all the possibilities - and different angles
unbalanced: firstblockchain, that article is way better than what I was going to write. I was going to write about the theory, you're doing it. Well played.
nubbins`: but i mean, i don't regret buying things with bitcoin just because the value has gone up
unbalanced: Okay now I want to try Indonesian coffee. Will grab some at my usual stop for a change of pace.
nubbins`: do i need to buy this coffee or should i save, all the while your electricity bill denominated in btc decreases each month
unbalanced: To which disaster do you refer? I can't remember that far back although I'm sure I read about it.
unbalanced: Well, they didn't go to 0 I guess.
unbalanced: I finally have some ideas for "services useful to people with Bitcoin in hand" so I'm working on those now.
unbalanced: I have confidence in HI... just not in many of their listings.
thestringpuller: or an income stream generated by the economy, however there isn't much worth investing in, I feel Havelock will go the way of BTCTCO soon
thestringpuller: i would say the ideal situation for joe schmoe buying btc
unbalanced: I put up some propositions on bitbet...
unbalanced: Collect it so I can send it to Ethiopia or Indonesia for more coffee.
unbalanced: Not to buy a cup of coffee, although if I'm a coffee roaster, I may want to *accept* Bitcoin.
unbalanced: I really want to help popularize Bitcoin here in Canada, but without encouraging everyone to get them because they're just awesome.
unbalanced: Right, I'm with you there.
unbalanced: I think I've figured something out (or maybe read it here and boom, Inception)
unbalanced: They could throw up a matrix of 100 propositions by 12 deadlines. But I guess that becomes proposition spam with no one anchoring each one.
unbalanced: How much of that are you willing to allow? I could see a line monthly bets on BTC at 1000, 1100, etc all year long as almost an alternative to options.
Namworld: Well I'm somewhat retired from that. Arij manages pretty much everything for BitVPS now.
unbalanced: (Hi, I'm Troy McClure... I hung around here a lot during the April bubble, then reverted to reading the log site assbot made.)
unbalanced: Hi Namworld (There he is, .ca I wasn't crazy.)
pankkake: I don't really like the color of krugerrands
nubbins`: oh hey, i got a krugerrand in the mail today
nubbins`: shit, that's where i keep all my bitcoins
nubbins`: nah, i'm a baby-face now
nubbins`: i can't imagine why
Venat: nubbins`, I admire you
unbalanced: Nice, if I ever get an self-pub project written I'll contact you.
pankkake: I usually don't call them but draw them in the air
unbalanced: I'd like to do an MPEX options calculator too. I will put a coinbr affiliate link up there, jurov... I'm not against affiliate links, I'd just want to add something useful to site to earn the traffic.
unbalanced: The reason I care is I am starting up bitcoins.ca and I want it to have useful content, not just be an affiliate link hole like www.bitcoin.com
unbalanced: But instead of quoting Tufte he links at the top of that post to a Naomi Robbins PDF from U of Ottawa, so I hold out hope.
unbalanced: I haven't reached out to him yet, I just read his stuff.
unbalanced: I'm sure bitcoinwisdom or clarkmoody could add Virtex too but we do a lot of charting at work so we figure it might be a way to make ourselves useful.
unbalanced: Decided last week to do something about it so if I pull it off I'll pre-announce here so you guys can tell me all the ways it sucks.
unbalanced: And thestringpuller, agree with you about bitcoin charts. I'm sick of having nowhere else to go for Virtex charts whenever things get interesting (read: dramatic) in the Bitcoiniverse because Bitcoincharts is down again.
unbalanced: For example -- BingoBoingo, thanks for the gpgpgp guide link above, I'll pass that around
unbalanced: That's what I feel like today.
nubbins`: i've had people on the next block call me and say "are you roasting right now?"
unbalanced: The coworking space I'm in should move into a roaster's. Or move a roaster in. People would never leave.
nubbins`: i almost went into roasting as a full-time business
unbalanced: I think it's this sort of 50lb-bag coffee buying where bitcoin is way more useful.
unbalanced: Noobs are always telling me that if they can't buy their Tim's with Bitcoin, what's the point? I remind them that not every part of the world has PayPass and Interac and all the other conveniences we take for granted up here.
unbalanced: I've been planning to write an article about direct global commerce / disintermediation and was thinking of coffee as a perfect case, and when I read your post earlier today in the logs it prodded me to actually fire up the IRC client for the first time in a while.
unbalanced: firstblockchain, if you're still lurking, ping me sometime re: direct BTC trade for coffee, I'll mention it to a local roaster...
kakobrekla: if i like it ill reorder
kakobrekla: i hope i will, most of the order will be gifts for people though
kakobrekla: so i ordered about 3kg of coffee from that site
unbalanced: agreed... I'm fine with my basic setup, as long as they're fresh ground beans
kakobrekla: i dont see this brand in yurop
kakobrekla: yeah i got the blade one
kakobrekla: i need to get a better grinding machine then
unbalanced: http://bitbrew.net/edds-ethiopian-harrar/ <-- he did finally update his exchange rates I guess
unbalanced: There was a guy in Texas selling coffee for BTC a couple of years ago but never updated his prices... I bet it is $20,000 USD a pound by now.
kakobrekla: i see harrar
kakobrekla: i want some now
unbalanced: I for one welcome our sentient bot overlords.
kakobrekla: hm i think i havent had this so called ethiopian coffee
thestringpuller: i think it's time to replace bitcoin charts
