You may want to look at MWS then. It's the same batch processed feeds and XML over https instead of sftp.

You are claiming a situation where 100% of merchants take bitcoin (i.e. everyone) and the scale required is beyond bitcoin by several orders of magnitude.

I'll admit I still use them but only on my own domain as a non-free account. Its just not safe w/o any kind of support channel.

> That seems to imply that there are no grey or black markets for currencies. This is contrary to what has been observed in history and in some countries today. Grey and black market currencies exist but the exchange rate is very painful

Its not technically possible at this time for this to be true.

Lol. People don't like my opinion and idgaf. If they are that offended by it, I removed it even tho I think its stupid.

It does to convert from Bitcoin to Fiat currency. That conversion gets blocked in an entire country/currency and its effectively useless unless you travel.

Normally I'm not attacked for it. And why does indifference mean silence exactly? Do you genuinely care about every word that you speak and every action you take? Seems tiresome.

Lol :) And so you get angry at people on the internet that suggests it should be mandatory.

We are all in this world together and some of us do make those contributions. You are just angry we want you to contribute at all and I feel bad for you. It must hurt going through life thinking no one cares if you suffer or die.

I just start blacklisting sites with those tbh. Just refuse to use them altogether. No content is worth the annoyance.

Some of us just genuinely hate autoplay ads.

I am not grumpy but your talking points are based on an ignorance of history many people share. I genuinely do not care if I convince you. I just don't want people to buy into people like you like they did with people who promoted the

If it works perfectly and you never have to replace anything, yes. But you aren't making the sort of "profit" you would if you just put that money into the market.

And yet you are ignorant of a decade long gold bubble and insist these things don't happen.

by fweespeech 9y ago
If you refuse to admit history exists and bubbles have lasted longer than Bitcoin had existed, please stop talking. The relevance is the duration, not the store of value in question. https://www.thebalance.com/gold-the-ultim

If transactions were close to instantaneous, it wouldn't be an issue. Buy in USD -> Pay in Bitcoin -> Receive Bitcoin -> Convert to USD needs to happen in under a minute. However. Those transactions frequently take a substanti

> There is nothing special happening now, as there was nothing special when it went from $5->$10, $50->$100, $100->$200, $500->$1000, $1000->$2000. People just want them, and they are a finite resource. Realistically, Bitc

It would lengthen it for me. I buy cheap subcompacts with good gas mileage. My total cost (annually) for fuel is ~$1k at which point the gas is basically free due to the $12k price difference.

Realistically, Tesla's solar roofs will probably be usable for 30 years before needing to be replaced. https://solarpowerrocks.com/solar-basics/how-long-solar-pane... Obviously probably solar but it would last lon

The big secret is social programs are largely to promote stability and prevent civil unrest. The effectiveness at the stated intention is a secondary concern. We probably are better off with a basic income style system where people can opt-

Honestly, an open source solution backed by an automated hosting company (like how Ghost) is probably the best solution. Charge your customers for DMCA claims and just skim enough off the underlying hosting company to cover your expenses.

Yup. Its not perfect tho, I'm sure I have enough cracks in my setup that people can find out if they really try but its enough people should understand its not related to my job and leave it alone I'd hope.

The only time I was ever asked about politics by a potential employer I noped out of that situation. Workplace = Professional, Personal Shit Stays Home. Rest of Life = Do whatever the fuck you want as long as its legal and you don't me
