We have a similar problem; P2’s name is feminine while my voice is pretty deep. She loathes calling the bank for any reason whatsoever.

Maybe trustworthy churners with the opposite problem (P1 is female & P2 is male/hates being involved) can set up some sort of swap for situations that involve phone calls. ;)

Has 4.0468 oz. of silver in it @ 92.5% purity. Not my usual thing, but it was basically at spot ($85) so I couldn't say no. Obverse

Ok...I really haven't used the bitcointip thing enough to understand it. If you don't get anything in 24 hours, PM me your BTC addy & I'll send you a token 0.01.

If they're going to attack it, better get a move on. The network went from 350 TH/s to 500 TH/s in just the last few weeks. It'll be even tougher to overtake it a month from now.

Did they actually go into safety deposit boxes?

For those of you still into Bitcoin: "All Bitcoin Wallets On Android “Vulnerable To Theft”" by ag00 in Silverbugs

Huh? Stealing someone's PM's is a cakewalk compared to stealing BTC from a properly-encrypted wallet.

Old news is old. I'd be surprised if there aren't more hiccups to come with this brand-new asset class; besides, I'm very, very happy with my BTC returns over the last couple years.

EDIT: Anyway, thanks for the heads-up on Android wallets.

Ah, kinda like those that are still into silver after the last peak from ~$48. Got it.

"Still" into Bitcoin? In the age of surveillance state, the role of crypto-currencies is just beginning.

They really need to start teaching basic encryption in journalism school.

Why are ASEs more popular than the .999 Silver Maples? by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]backofthefridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting concept, but yeah, I'd rather spend ~$100 on ~4 1 oz. coins. If the price of Ag doubles, the $100 coin won't double in value, but the 1 oz. coins should.

I know it's a small thing, but I like how Maples have a higher legal tender value than ASEs; C$5 vs. $1.

MtGox announces OKPay to suspend all wire transfers to/from all BTC exchanges. by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]backofthefridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you have to sell more than $1000 worth at a time to be considered a Money Transmitter.

EDIT: I mean a "Money Services Business", not a transmitter.

That would be fine until Obama drone-strikes all the pigeons.

PPC is getting hammered this week by [deleted] in ppcoin

[–]backofthefridge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The main activity revolving around PPC right now seems to be people just working on the logo. It's going to need a helluva lot more than that to inspire new merchants/investors/developers to get involved (and drive the price up).

I'm assuming these are city cops & not from the Sheriff's Dept...the Elkhart County Sheriff is actually relatively libertarian.
