truffles: wonder why cads signs in to all the chat rooms but says nothing
firstblockchain: strong incense is an in-demand product throughout Indonesia
dub: the cremation parade that is
dub: yah a buddy filmed on of those in ubud
firstblockchain: still, not as bad as Sulawesi, Indonesia. There, the person isn't considered "dead" until the cremation has happened. So, until they can save enough money for a proper cremation ceremony, the corpse stays in the house with the family. They dress it every day and sit it in a chair in the family room. And put it back in bed at night.
firstblockchain: they are wrapped in cloth, and there's a ton of incense burning, but still on a 90+ degree day, it is one stinky parade
firstblockchain: wild, right? last one in our village was a creamation for over 100 bodies. They have to save up for the cremeations, so the bodies rest in shallow graves for up to four years until the big "group creamation" is ready to go. Then they parade the corpses through town to the funeral pyre.
dub: some odd customs over there for sure, saw a couple fo funerals type parties up close
firstblockchain: Locals think the dogs are their reincarnated relatives, so they it is difficult to take care of all the strays.
firstblockchain: Nah, tons of dogs with it here. They have to cull all the time because of all the rabid strays.
dub: docters back home had to call the CDC equiv, test was basically, 'is the patient trying to eat you? yes/no'
firstblockchain: The monkeys know you if you walk through all the time - don't harass you.
dub: locals say they are clean but im sceptical and rabies is fucking scary shit
firstblockchain: <dub> I live close by. Seen plenty of people bit by those little shits.
dub: got bitten by a monkey in that fucking monkey forest tourist scam
firstblockchain: dub - if the dog's head is facing you, but his eyes are blank and the tail ain't moving, back the funk up
dub: but thats probably just circlejerkary
dub: laotian coffee is supposed to be the best
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: You might as well try Indonesian coffee from strangers. Live a little before someone shows up and stabs you for your coins.
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.
unbalanced: Nice, thanks man!
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.
unbalanced: Sure thing
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: Christmas gifts for the team
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!
firstblockchain: unbalanced - lol - just got a notice from bitpay about the overpayment. They won't let me accept it without opening a support ticket first. It says you can also request a refund.
thestringpuller: like coffee that requires 0 cream
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.
unbalanced: Take that, Silk Road! Legit international trade in addictive substances.
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`: you just gotta grease the wheel to keep it moving until it can turn on its own
nubbins`: by the time the majority of transactions take place with btc, the amounts changing hands will be miniscule
nubbins`: on the contrary
nubbins`: but i mean, i don't regret buying things with bitcoin just because the value has gone up
nubbins`: it can be two things
unbalanced: Meanwhile the channel seems suspisciously quiet as if all the European reps are off for the day, on planes heading to pick up Black Friday deals in the US.
unbalanced: Okay now I want to try Indonesian coffee. Will grab some at my usual stop for a change of pace.
firstblockchain: just had some Arabica from Bandung. Some good stuff coming out of west Java now. It supposedly includes some of the old dutch strains that were originally planted way back when on the East Java plantations - the original "Java" coffee of Mocha Java fame.
firstblockchain: Trying to find people with rentable / purchasable land in Costa Rica who are bitcoin friendly. Want to set up a few solar powered yurts, wire up with some good internet, plant some tubers and coffee and operate from there. Going to be a pain to ship my roaster there from indonesia though...
unbalanced: Was just watching The Amazing Race, they're in Bandung this episode
nubbins`: now you're talking
firstblockchain: next house - complete off-grid solar electric system purchased with BTC. - and a composting toilet too ;)
nubbins`: do i need to buy this coffee or should i save, all the while your electricity bill denominated in btc decreases each month
nubbins`: unbalanced: all this does is create a situation where people are reluctant to spend more than they have to
unbalanced: Have to bolt, will read the log later on.
unbalanced: To which disaster do you refer? I can't remember that far back although I'm sure I read about it.
thestringpuller: yea, it's gonna take time unfortunately but it keeps use from experiencing what happened in 2011
unbalanced: Well, they didn't go to 0 I guess.
unbalanced: Huh. The MPOE bonds on that spreadsheet have too much of a history of Taleb-flagged "blow ups" for my taste.
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: if you're going to hold BTC and want to spend them, you need to have an income stream going into the btc economy
unbalanced: Let alone how to buy on mpex. My Coinbr affiliate link: https://coinbr.com/ref?c=F5AaxgxFkQ
thestringpuller: the more volatile the currency is the more likely there is to be a loss on MPBOR
unbalanced: How do they know "a good month" in advance?
thestringpuller: or MPOE long term
thestringpuller: would be to buy BTC and invest it in a good vehicle like MPBOR bonds on a good month
thestringpuller: i would say the ideal situation for joe schmoe buying btc
unbalanced: BTCChina 30d BTC volume to exceed next 10 largest exchanges combined
thestringpuller: well there is as a store of value....
thestringpuller: person spends some of those btc to you for a cup of coffee
