I've been 'receiving' a dividend from puremining about once a week lately that never confirms. Any info available on this?

See for example, https://blockchain.info/tx/3da8b1ab5f02159b62db4048de2e0ba4e4636cb2ae17540b176bd17a06556db0 from 11/24 and unconfirmed

The dollar price is fixed when services are rendered, and due 30 days later.
The vendor charges more in bitcoins to cover their costs in converting them to fiat
Taxes
The dollar cost is the same month to month, while the BTC cost fluctuates with the exchange rate

OOooh, Can I try that

If you send money to 17RbEbXTtijSdVssMSJeHiLKe2KxE4LYQ3 I'll do some unspecified thing at some unspecified time in the future.

I see you don't understand the standard translation protocol of transliterating proper nouns, rather then translating them. I'm sure the term means something in Chinese, but the correct usage in this case is to transliterate it. It's why bitcoin was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, rather than "Satoshi during this" which is what I get when I run the name through Google Translate.

Baidu is the Chinese equivalent to Google
Jashule is one of the branded services they offer.

525cd5aabf9efd699f800e7e is perfectly legit. Chinese characters don't do well in URL's, since not everybody can type or read them, so they use a different system for international compatibility, rather than article title.

It is a press release from baidu, posted on baidu's website. What more evidence do you want?

Google translate is pretty much always a poor translation.

Stop sending dust? Don't include fees in dust?

How long does it take you to get cash to the exchanges? Who's left holding dollars after yesterdays run up?

The same way you earn USD. Take something you have, or a service you can offer, and sell it for BTC.

Awesome, 1 year from now, I'll sell. In the mean time, profits for me. (No, I'm not banking 100% on this)

The secret is to diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, even if the basket pays great rates.
 
The other secret is not to invest what you can't afford to lose. Less than 10% of my portfolio is in OBSI.HRPT.

Hell, it says HIGH RISK right there in the name. As in, you might just lose everything you put into it. So be careful.

Most of my cost is shave soap. Gotta get that about twice a year. Blades last just about forever.

I use aftershave. The brand is Clubman, and it's like $5 (US) for a bottle. I'm about 6 months into one and haven't even used 1/4 of it.

I also use a straight razor, so it's a little more important. And much cheaper than good disposable blades. Between shave soap, new blades, (It's a cheap modern handle that takes them) and aftershave, I figure I spend about $10/year on shaveing and related supplies, not counting water usage, as that's included in my rent. Cost to get started (Handle, brush, mug) was less than $20.

And this is why I don't keep coins in online wallets. They're either converted into GLBSE securities, or sent to cold storage.

This seems like a fair closeing plan. I already devalued these bonds when the PPT.E did not pay out on schedule. I'm rather disapointed this turned out to be a scam, but not really suprised. My thanks to Patrick Harnett, BurtW and the others running these bonds for and excelent job.

Overall, I'm one of the lucky few to profit from BTCS&T. I diversified at the right time. I even managed to sell my remaining PPT.x bonds at better than insurance rates. Guess theres still some faith in pirate, but I don't buy it anymore.

I would vote for either Option A or Option C. Of course I only hold 5 PPT.x bonds, so I don't count for much.

Yes. It will. Eventually I think it will break the $1,000,000.00 mark

Ancap here. This is just what happens when there is an unaccountable violent monopoly provider of security services. It's exasperated because the provider of security services is also the monopoly provider of justice. So what we end up with is abuse. Want to stop this? Break up the monopoly and allow free and open competition in security and justice services.
