$$, hold btc, trade at will instantly.
mircea_popescu: Lindsay Holland, assistant director, received
$160k +
$2,512. I have no idea what she's doing, other than writing press releases, uploading conference videos to YouTube and giving interviews about how she's paid in Bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: Gavin Andresen, "chief scientist", received
$209k of "reportable compensation" +
$2,884 of "other compensation", for more than
$212k. Apparently the foundation thinks it's better to pay one guy
$212k for writing blog posts and giving talks and interviews than paying three guys
$70k each to work on the software the whole pyramid scheme currency depends on.
mircea_popescu: here's a thought : two
$10 old cpus are faster than a
$50 modern cpu.

$250 before January 2015 as per Bitstamp . If the difference between a given "Yes" bet time and the bet's closing time is less than one week, such bets will be refunded minus fee. First two "Yes" bets are excluded from this rule.

nubbins`: shut your kid up now! only
$3.50ea!
badon: It has a mintage of 200 for the silver version, and only around 10 specimens are known to have survived so far. More will probably show up as time goes by, but
$4000 price tag did not bring any new ones to the market, which is strong evidence most of them are either melted or permanently in someone's collection.
badon: nubbins`: The silver version I sold for
$1200. A few months later the specimen was back on the market, and it sold for
$4'000!
nubbins`: but i'd rather my
$50 coin have a half-ounce of silver than not
nubbins`: altho the whole "
$50 for
$50" thing is neat.
badon: The coin in the link had a metal value of over
$14k. It sold for

badon: mircea_popescu: Coins from China with a mintage of 100 can be bought for under
$200 if you're lucky. The same coin in a mature numismatic market could sell for millions of dollars.

$5 bills don't get tracked.
