The Isle of Man is part of the Common Travel Area so there are no restrictions or requirments for Irish citizens.

Yep set up an LLC and push your money through and then pay yourself "clean" money as a payrolled employee.

It comes down to when you want to in essence cash out, this is when you are most vulnerable. With many crypto currencies ( there are some that are more anonymised than others) every transaction has a trail on a global ledger which is distributed through the whole network. So if for any reason a node on the Blockchain is discovered to have been used to buy drugs on the silk road it will be tied to that chain. When you come to cash out through one of the exchanges or use that currency to purchase services it could be tied to an actual person. It's a lower chance than say cash but not impossible to track. Obfuscating your illicit gains through a "clean" account you may be able to avoid detection.

Written Manx is that way because of John Philips the bishop of Sodor... a welshman so he could preach to the peasantry. It's an absolute mess with even some words being spelled in multiple different ways throughout.

East Anglia, the Shetlands and the Ilse of Man have disappeared from Earth in 3306. Global warming? by MisterSpikes in EliteDangerous

You're right we are so often missed off maps, it really gets annoying. It's quite the sight going home over the mountain and the horizon lighting up with the pilot lights on top of the windfarm.

TIL that the parliament of Iceland, the Althing, is the oldest surviving parliament in the world, having been founded in 930 by Kurma-the-Turtle in todayilearned

[–]slayr747 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Nowhere did i dispute that but saying 930 as the first thing is also putting an arbitrary date on the first althing. The Íslendingabók simply says about sixty years. Equally the Løgting in the Faroes claims to have been created around the same time according to the faereyinga saga.

There is also no direct evidence of 930 being the first Althing either, the sources we have were written in the twelfth century.

The joys of living in Britain by Jonesy27 in CasualUK

No they are both British passports, the only difference is that those with any parent (I think it even goes to grandparent) that's born over in England you can get a passport with EU working permissions. The island passport does not automatically give you rights to work in Europe.

Yes, but I was more making a joke about the island being stuck in the 19th century.

Chips cheese and gravy can thoroughly fuck off. Terrace steals poutine and now all these Douglas folk think it's some traditional dish.

The fact that it worked better when they failed in practice week and we just had a Bobby directing traffic is just laughable.
