Despite what Chase may advertise or claim about their Quickpay product, the payments are definitely reversible just like Paypal.  Not good for bitcoin trades imo.

it will recover when there are more buyers than sellers.  Supply and demand, my friend.   Unfortunately at this time, supply is outpacing demand.   I'm glad I didn't invest in mining equipment back in June around $30/BTC.

thanks for the idea OP, I'm considering opening BitEverest, the tallest bitcoin exchange on Earth.   Also TradeValley, the reverse bitcoin exchange where we pay you to take our bitcoins. 

one of the links on google was this one, which puports to read QR codes without a smartphone or webcam :

I can't vouch for this app though, so try at your own risk

seems like a pretty good idea, maybe put a note on there telling people not to throw it away if they aren't interested because there is "real money" attached - instead give it to another protester who is interested.

I agree it is a stupid law that violates personal freedom, but wiki cites 7 deaths worldwide from kinder egg choking :

its not gone, its just moved - now you need to hover your mouse on the link, which reveals an arrow. click the "arrow" to the right of the search result, it will expand and reveal a screenshot of the site as well as the cache link

as long as it itsn't moving too fast, sure   side of a bus, billboard, etc

don't know about how pests like or dislike tobacco plants but extracted nicotine can be used as an insecticide on other plants

stole the pic from wikipedia, mine actually was way more frankenstein - it was a triple(!) stacker, the middle part was a 3.5" floppy drive, the uppermost third was a 40 megabyte hard drive.   The floppy had a switch in the back soldered in so you could only either use the 5.25" or the 3.5" depending on where it was switched to.   On the sidecarts I had a couple memory expansions, a joystick card, and a hard drive controller sidecar with a big ribbon cable connecting it the hard drive on top.

all this stuff was added over several years, and I got the computer when I was like 10 from an uncle and it was already an antique by the time I got it, I think 486dx's were the top of the line at the time.  I wonder how fast a PCjr could mine bitcoins... 1 hash per day? lol

This thread is now a "post your first computer" thread


Here's mine, cartridge BASIC and wireless chiclet keyboards ftw

IBM PCjr

maybe you can print a little attribution note with your inkjet and stick it in the package with the stickers

by the way, I'd be interested in a barter trade for your 1 oz silver BTC rounds for my vaping gear.

I agree with what others in this thread have said, there will always be bad apples in every market.  There are  many bogus companies whose penny stocks are traded for USD, even large corporations listed on the major stock exchanges are later revealed to be total frauds.

I wouldn't be interested in listing my company on the GLBSE, but that's because I have no need to sell shares, but other companies should have every right to be able to.  Crypto-anarchy FTW

were you shipping a physical item and providing ebay/paypal with the tracking number?  or were you sending bitcoins digitally?

If the seller is able to prove he shipped a physical item via a USPS tracking number, will paypal not side with the seller on a dispute?   However on a digital-only transfer of bitcoins, I would expect paypal to side with the buyer

Nice site, very Drudgereport-like.  I'd love it if you added http://bitvapes.com to your Online Stores section!

FWIW my android phone w/ barcode scanner reads them all.  It helps to hold it back a couple feet from the monitor so the QR code doesn't take up much of the barcode scanner screen, you want the details to sort of blur together

check these out, I'd love to see a bitcoin QR code like these
