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.
thestringpuller: unbalanced: no you can't, because
that's not a good utility for it, and never was
unbalanced: But can we ever recommend
that John Q Noob buy bitcoins
to load on
their phone
to buy
their daily coffee or smokes?
unbalanced: (which allows
them
to continue earning a living)
unbalanced: If it's
the miner's only income
they have
to convert some
to local currency
to buy groceries and pay rent, electricity, sure.
taub: deflation is fine, but obviously rapid one like
this isn't really classic deflation
thestringpuller: you can spend profits over
time as long as you mitigate
the cash flow correctly
unbalanced: The only valid
thing
to spend a deflationary currency on is something
that will make you more money
than holding it.
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: Samuel L Jackson remains
the highest-grossing movie star of all
time
to Apr, May, Jun...
unbalanced: It could cover more outcomes
though, not just
the price of BTC at date X but any propositions bitbet users come up with.
unbalanced: But you're right,
they wouldn't have a defined payoff.
unbalanced: If we assume
that mpex BTC options are
the only ones
that count, a series of bitbets would let people speculate on something further out.
unbalanced: But futures
the average new holder of BTC can grok.
thestringpuller: unbalanced: how would
that be an alternative
to options? wouldn't
that be more of a futures contract?

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.
gribble: MtGox lag is 4.040613 seconds. During
this
time, light
travels 0.00809734321104 AU. You could have sent a bitcoin from Saturn
to its largest moon,
Titan (0.00802 AU).
nubbins`: you can
trace almost every wikipedia article back
to "philosophy" just by continually clicking
the first non-bracketed, non-italicized link in each article
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [COG] [PAID] 4.46208006 BTC
to 8`898 shares, 50147 satoshi per share
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: holy cow
the krug just
transmuted your silver maple into gold
pankkake: I don't really like
the color of krugerrands
ozbot: imgur:
the simple image sharer
nubbins`: oh hey, i got a krugerrand in
the mail
today
nubbins`: perfect until
the forum you've stored
them on goes down
pankkake: those
that are generated from sentences
pankkake: that makes me
think, you could hide private keys in plain sight
nubbins`: shit,
that's where i keep all my bitcoins
Venat: can confirm
trolltalk down
nubbins`: great, always a pleasure
to work on something new
unbalanced: ^ Plenty of other ambitious
things
to do first of course ^
nubbins`: books, we usually do less
than 100 at a
time
nubbins`: have an order for 5000 silkscreened certificates in
the works right now
KRS1: Google
translate of
the Chinese site okcoin.com
translated Lightcoin as Wrightcoin. =/
pankkake: trop ? you're looking for
too much books ?
Venat: je cherche
trop de books? online
pankkake: I usually don't call
them but draw
them in
the air
frb: also less
than sign and greater
than sign
Venat: what are
these symbols called in english '< and >'
ozbot: [Mpex.co]
The biggest scam in bitcoin history?
Venat: We should start
the mircea cult
nubbins`: phew, just finished
trimming 50 books by hand
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: So charts, a mining calculator, how
to guides...
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: Well crap. So much for driving over and
taking him
to lunch.
pankkake: actually, blogspot redirects you
to your country's
tld
unbalanced: For Virtex first...
things
that
the big charting gurus are ignoring.
kakobrekla: myeah should have switched profanity with politeness and left
the not out
thestringpuller: unbalanced: you want
to make a replacement for bitcoincharts?
unbalanced: thought you might have missed a word
there but didn't want
to get all
the profanities for pointing it out
kakobrekla: they fuck me in
the ass like a dog,
then
they expect profanity
kakobrekla: >SanDisk
Technical Support is provided for customer service in which politeness and civility is expected of both support agents and customers. Use of profanity or abuse is not
tolerated by SanDisk management. SanDisk management has authorized immediate
termination of any support in which customer is intentionally being offensive or using profanity.
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: What was
that old Saturday Night Live skit where someone was so slow at conversation,
the conversation would move on and
then he'd come up with a comeback
to something 3
topics ago?
nubbins`: roasting actually stinks, better
to move into a coffee shop ;)
unbalanced: Okay, so we move *next door*
to a roaster. Noted.
nubbins`: i've had people on
the next block call me and say "are you roasting right now?"
nubbins`: the problem with urban roasting at any scale is
the smoke and odor
nubbins`: haven't
touched it in a while
tho
ozbot: Coffee Shrub |
The Coffee Shrub
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.
nubbins`: they really know
their shit, and
they're not afraid
to get
their hands dirty
nubbins`: if anyone could pull it off, it's
them
nubbins`: altho in
the future, who knows?
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: 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
nubbins`: honestly, with a Skerton, an AeroPress, and a kettle, you could make a cup of coffee
that would rival any other. All for about a $60 investment.
nubbins`: Hario Skerton is a good, affordable hand-cranked burr grinder, but it's
tiring
nubbins`: problem with blade grinders is
that all your grinds are different sizes -- dust and boulders
nubbins`: the sky's
the limit
tho, some people spend
thousands on grinders for
their home
