You may be on to something. We’ve brought it up in passing before.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I mentally wrap myself up in long strings of letters and numbers like a blanket at night and find myself longing for legal and social solutions that follow along inline and in concept as we’ve succeeded with this alternate economy.

Found your problem!

So what’re you all thinking of 42?

Just bought a chunk at 990 BTC [i]per coin[/i] for a good fraction of a coin and dove out at 1480 BTC.

I’m a happy, happy critter right now. Going to actually eat some food this evening to celebrate.

Catcoin are also kind of whiny about LINK as well,
[/quote]Where are they discussing this? Their subreddit is private apparently.

I’m trying to get a dialogue going with the deaconboogie about MoonCoin and LINK.

Wait, Kevlar, is this how retrocausality really works? I mean maybe it’s not retrocausality at all but rather a forward reference, a kind of prepared die for future molten metal to be poured into, like FLUX.
[/quote]Heh. Rearden Metal maybe.

Did you guys know that people out there are consulting other people on their buying decisions and their basis for attacking FTC is:

1. The pull out of UNOCS (lol wut)
2. [i]How many subscribers a Feathercoin has to it’s related subreddits[/i]

[i]And they’re listening to these people.[/i] I know you’re saying that there’s no reason to wait, which makes sense so that power is taken out of the hands of a board or individual and returned to the collective, but is the act of transference concrete enough to justify weaving the baskets for everyone else to throw eggs into?

I have removed BTC from all my addresses. FTC, DOGE, CAT, WDC is what I’m trading.

I will still do escrow for people in BTC etc. But no way, sorry, no room for royalty.

Funny thing is, too, the FBI was withdrawing from the account in increments of 324 BTC.

Everyone was scratching their heads as to why this arbitrary amount, but someone on Reddit pointed it out:

[quote]324 is “FBI” when dialled on a phone. [/quote]

Ha! Okay.

It’s a false positive. You’re not alone, Fedoracoin 1.0.exe got hit with it, too. Apparently someone got overzealous and submitted a shared bit of code across all these reporting sites. I ended up having to discuss with DigitalOcean about it in order to not have my hosting account suspended because they contacted them instead of me in order to take the site down.

Just, scummy.

Will you ever release a wallet for iOS?
[/quote]

Apple has to change policy on wallets before anyone will dedicate their effort to it.

That’s not likely to happen since Apple has plans for alt currency (though not necessarily crypto), and won’t play ball.

The real focus for portable devices is to go platform agnostic, web based services.

Have you tried localbitcoins.com yet? Sometimes the vendors there might deal in other cryptos if you build a rapport with them. When the site map here gets back up online again, you might see if there’s someone willing to sell near you.

Personally, I don’t have a bank account or credit cards or anything else that a lot of these companies ask of me.

So back in the summer when a BTC was still around $100USD, I toyed around with faucets and other micro-transactional ways and that wasn’t going to work, either. But that’s when I discovered Bitmit. I went out, bought stuff from a pallet salvage operation I had access to, put android tablets and portable Super Nintendos and other electronic stuff up on there and almost immediately the stuff moved. Next thing I know I had 3BTC to mess around with.

Bitmit’s no longer with us, but there’s coingig and cryptothrift and of course the feathercoin market here. It may be viewed as an inconvenient step, but it’s really an alternative step to playing by the regulatory rules when dealing with fiat.

Worse come to worse, you can always start an auction on the feathercoin marketplace yourself with a money order or a pre-paid visa that you get from anywhere and list the equivalent plus postage as a buy it now. Since the escrow’s built in, it’s almost foolproof, just costly (a way around would be buying giftcards for specific stores, but you know, whatever). Someone sends you the funds that are held in escrow, you mail out the card/money order, they verify the funds on it, they mark it as received and you get your crypto released from escrow. Sure it takes a couple of days, but it takes a couple of days to, say, cash out a BTC to a bank account through coinbase, too. Everything’s going to be slow until the world is on the same page with this stuff.
