uh, yeah, those are in there as well, albeit in a very modest amount proportionally

the tl;dr of several thousand pages of medical file is that my liver is poo poo, which both caused the initial problem and complicated a bunch of others, and that after playing medical russian roulette with p much every goddamn stimulant out there i stumbled on modafinil, 400mg is my minimum req for functional, 600 is productive and 800 is only for special cases because i'd rather not go about life with atlas inspired sleep schedules

good news is after 5 year some of my issues are finally fading away so i'm hoping to spin everything down a bit

guys i just happened to find $25k around, what do i do?

quote:

Q: How to deposit [$25000] found money? A: Buy Bitcoin with cash! (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 21 hours ago * by tedjonesweb

About $25,000 was found in my home ceiling which I believe was put there years ago by my parents and forgotten. I want to know if I deposit it all in the bank at one time will that cause any problems with IRS and the bills have older dates on them. will the bank accept them and should I make multi deposits?

http://money.stackexchange.com/questions/50169/how-to-deposit-found-money

The solution "multi deposits" is called smurfing (structuring) and is illegal. Please someone who have account at StackExchange to write an answer. So far nobody suggested buying Bitcoin.

The federal ‘structuring’ laws are smurfin’ ridiculous

If this was happened to me (in the US) I would just spend them slowly or/and buy Bitcoin and gold off the bank (in person transactions with strangers - like Localbitcoins).

Law Lets I.R.S. Seize Accounts on Suspicion, No Crime Required

Never carry big amounts of cash outside of your house! Police can steal your money legally.

Cops Use Traffic Stops To Seize Millions From Drivers Never Charged With A Crime

This stealing is called with the euphemism "civil forfeiture".

Federal Case Could Make It Easier For Victims To Defend Themselves Against Civil Forfeiture

P.S. I am not the person who asked the original question.

wow, this is one smart individual

quote:

If depositing slightly below $10'000 is considered suspicious and may lead to confiscation (civil forfeiture), does depositing always above $10'000 considered also suspicious?

in not me related news, this thing:

http://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/nasdaq-and-chain-to-partner-on-blockchain-technology-initiative-20150624-00446

someone sold nasdaq colored coins as a way to move securities as tokens

tbf it's probably one of the least dumb bitcoin apps i can think of, and since nerds worldwide are footing the bill to run your infrastructure, heh, might even make financial sense too

ofc since all you need to actually emit on the network is the minimum tx size + minimum fee if this picks up the blockchain will just end up being spammed to high hell with worthless transactions, which is good for bitcoin because

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
that press release basically says "this company that does blockchain stuff is going to be the first to use blockchain stuff in this part of nasdaq over here that's used for privately-owned companies for their internal equity and isn't really part of nasdaq at all"

"blockchain technology" is a meaningless term (right up there with "disruptive") and this has nothing at all to do with bitcoin (which you'll note isn't mentioned anywhere in the press release), they could be providing any sort of distributed data management software and slapping the "blockchain" label on it in order to grab cash from dumb venture capitalists

you're right about them not mentioning bitcoin, i thought that was conspicuous too, but they do mention the open assets protocol, which is apparently some sort of colored coin implimentation for bitcoin, and chain, the company in the article, wrote a big ol' post on medium about how they use bitcoin, and they speficially handwave the idea of anyone using a non bitcoin blockchain.

i mean, if it mentions blockchain, it's got to be either a scammer or a fanatic, i just suspect this is the latter.

The bitcoin "enthusiasts" have been banging on about getting the prostitutes on backpage.com to accept bitcoin recently.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3du0qc/i_can_confirm_the_backpage_effect/

Then I noticed this in the washington post

Woman who shot alleged attacker may have slain a serial killer, police say

quote:

Neal Falls showed up at the woman’s home on July 18 after answering an escort ad she had placed on Backpage.com, according to police. He showed up with a “kill list,” multiple pairs of handcuffs and a Subaru full of weapons and tools, including a shovel, knives, a bulletproof vest, a machete, bleach, trash bags, sledgehammers and axes, according to Fox affiliate KPTV.

quote:

“He made a deal with the victim to exchange money for her services as an escort,” Cooper said. “He brought no money with him. What he brought with him was a firearm, four sets of handcuffs, and all of the items you have photos of from the trunk of his car. So … clearly his intentions were dark.”

Backpage.com, no money, could he be a bitcoiner? One of those rare outdoors bitcoiners?

how. how will it make sense, financial or otherwise, to use bitcoin instead of a distributed database of trusted and known peers?

the technology cost is negligible anyway compared to the employee costs, and with a dd you actually have good, predictable availability, instant confirmations instead of having to wait for hours, and your ownership records aren't at the mercy of unpredictable Chinese mining cabals.

looking over chain's website it's obvious they work with bitcoin and bitcoin-based implementations, but since the press release so carefully avoids any mention of bitcoin i'm wondering if they're not thinking of using a private, internal deployment of a bitcoin like thing

i'm not enough of a database and infrastructure nerd to answer this, how would a bitcoin-like ledger compare to a traditional data store if
- all of your participants are known, albeit everyone has a financial motivation to distrust everyone else to some extent
- every participant has to provide a specific and fixed amount of hashing power
- block rewards and tx fees are removed entirely, providing miners is part of the participation obligation
- nasdaq still acts as the central authority in the network, holds all the unused tokens who haven't been assigned to represent a security or stock

basically, what if you remove the entire notion of tokens as valuable by themselves, provision a kickout clause if any participant positions themselves above their expected hashpower and only use the redundant database features of bitcoin. how does that compare to current options?

Wait sorry I meant he should launder it through a fake money system that is referred to by various three letter agencies as "prosecution futures". My mistake.

By "redundant database" you mean "everyone has a copy of the database", right? (Because that's how it works in bitcoinland...)

If everyone has a full copy of the database anyway, then there are definitely better mechanisms you can use. For example, you could just use Paxos with transactions signed by the originator using a well-known key. No need for participants to spend a bunch of computer time brute-forcing hashes.
