They just have a restriction on Dwolla where you have to be verified first.

and yeah, every site that works with bitcoin is written and laid out in a confusing as fuck way.

The weirdest part about bitcoin is that when money is "lost" by a site, there's so much obfuscation of ownership + international law in the way that the owners just get away with it.   Oh and these people are anti-govt involvement in the first place, so they don't try to sue :lol

It's like gold in Diablo, only there's a cap on the total amount and you can directly pay for goods and services in the real world with it. People "mine" bitcoins by doing some computational task (with GPUs, a bunch of server or even botnets) until the total amount is reached some time in the future. There's no central authority. It all works via P2P, including payment.

That's as far as I "understand" it.

Ok say you catch a man on your corner who isn't on the team, boom. You step to him because he's stealing your real estate, but you're on probation and thus aren't strapped. He pulls the heat and you take a hot one in the leg, nahmean. You get out the hospital and find out dude is in jail, boom, so you can't touch him. You don't have the paper to send a kite to your homie on the inside, so you go to your local library and access the dark Internet in order to hire a Day Of the Jackal type nicca with your bitcoin dough.

Fuck, I get drunk easily now that I'm 150 pounds.  :'(

I've been losing weight too - I went from wearing 32" waist jeans in my teens / early twenties -> 33" in my late twenties -> 32" -> actually my 32" don't really fit anymore and I have to tighten a belt. aren't you supposed to gain weight as you get older

Eh, it's probably not worth the effort unless you get into it seriously. Maybe it was different early on, dunno.

yes, it was way different before  :'(


now i know how konami feels when guitar hero came out


BUT i don't think it's a bust yet.   Mining isn't viable anymore (you need dedicated mining hardware), but it'll be quiet for the next long while and prices will dip again.

Assuming that there isn't new gold being produced in the earth, there is a fixed amount of that, yet that doesn't mean its all in someone's hands.

I dreamt there was a huge boil on my left ear and eventually it consumed my whole ear and then it popped, leaving my ear pretty scarred
