dio_: i guess that was
a rhetorical question, my bad
benkay: i'm trying to give you
a bigger perspective here
benkay: you're investigating this months old thing where someone tried to slip in under the wire of
a bet before it closed, but sent from
a not-really-
a-wallet-wallet and so didn't have
a txn fee, which meant their txn had to wait for the first friendly miner including zero fee blocks.

a conversational construct

dio_: was the originating transfer from
a dumb company that dint include an approximate 7 cent transsaciton fee that would have accleerated propgaation of the transaction enough to be acceptec by thte deadline? if not yes or no....any guess on probability?

a bit declasse, you know? "here's where you can send me money" printed on things is

mod6: you could have
a QR code on your shirt that was just your public key or whatever..
nubbins`: how about black ink on
a black shirt?
benkay:
a tiny barely-there stencil over the breast pocket might be nice
nubbins`: at least
a shirt with your pgp key would have some utility
nubbins`: it's
a nerd shirt, they're all ugly
nubbins`: i wonder, is there
a market for custom one-off tees with your public key printed on the front
benkay: and until someone pays me for
a thorough fisking it will just have to languish in the obscurity that is the attention of the altcoin/I matter circlejerk.

a contract so I can nail your ass to the wall for nonpayment later.
benkay: "I saw JR Willet present at Bitcoin 2013 conference in San Jose. He struck me as an honest guy, well intentioned, and smart. That's why I don't think Mastercoin is
