"They are raising money for some kid who has cancer."

Ah, "a good cause". I'm a sap for a good cause. The Doge4water is what got me interested in Doge.

Just left Shibedom.  They are raising money for some kid who has cancer.

Those Shibes sure know how to light up a room.

Thanks for the appreciation and this confessional.
I'm certain to slip again and be back. I'm only leaving now to check a calculator, Bitmain, my wallet (including NMC), Bitminter full stats (gui page),
I'll listen to "Bitcoin Baron" before a Segway into "Let's Talk Bitcoin", while I'm reading up on what all the happy Shibes are up to on reddit.


 

It looks sweet mang.  Thanks for the fix!

It's a $6. votive holder finally put to good use. I like the night one better but it hides the Ants.
Ohmmm

What is that a Buddha head?

It sure is purty!

Here's a little fix...


told ya I'm an enabler :-)

Pictures please!

Stop wasting your time on faucets lol. I am sure your time worth more than 5 cents an hour

Crap, I think I spend too much time click link and watch video for less than 10 cents worth of btc/

After setting my Ant up this afternoon I decorated it.

New confession:

Spent the better part of yesterday installing a second SSD (64Gb) in my computer.  The install was easy (also had to install a better case fan and manage air flow obstructions)

It was installing Ubuntu 14.04 on it that was a pain.  Turns out it doesn't like Dual Graphics stuff from AMD, so I had to disable my 6670 graphics card in the BIOS and plug it directly into the onboard graphics run by my sweet ass 6800K AMD APU.

Then I tried to install 0.9.1 Bitcoin-Qt (trusty) on it, and man did I have to work!  Finally figured out, with the help of Ask! Ubuntu, that there were issues with crypto keys that were trying to access the repository.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bluematt/bitcoin

gpg --keyserver  keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv XXXXX

gpg --export --armor XXXXX | sudo apt-key add -

This is all so I can have the full client on a drive that is not used for web surfing and such (it also has to be manually connected to the motherboard for access).  And well, I fkn love me some Ubuntu, it is just so time consuming, nothing seems to work without some effort unlike Windows 8.1.

When I finally got it installed I got my fix for the day!  It is now gradually downloading the full block chain.  Now I can save lots of space on my main SSD when it doesn't have to hold a full client.

My wife told me last night, "You are starting to spend a lot of time on this computer." 

I know what that means, I better do some TLC overtime.

Nah...I plan to fully indulge in this addiction and happily enable anyone who cares to imbibe

Don't hash and go to meetings.

Hi my name is ______ and I'm a cryptocashaholic.

My mining equipment will never ROI because I keep getting more and the price ticker tab is always open.
It wouldn't be such a bad thing if only I could convince Godiva to accept btc/xbt or in the very least....find a decent chocolate covered gummy-bear
on Amazon (so I can purchase a gift card with Gyft).

Buying and selling btc from your own family at higher prices? haha!

Ah the joys of bitcoin! Its awesome no?
