1) Usability tests of websites

2) Usability tests of software

3) Podcat transcriptions

And yes,

4) Translations

5) Documentations


 I figure that it also increases visibility outside of the cryptosphere©

I recently (today) found out about this MTurk program that amazon facilitates, that is basically bounties for performing tasks.

Maybe the Devs could utilize this program for some tasks, and donations could fund it.

Riddle:

Liar 1 gives Liar 2 40k USD IN CASH as an attempt at bribery, no questions asked and the process happens before Liar 2 is aware that they're going to be taking money.

Liar 2 does not agree to the bribe upon discovery of the money, and sends the money back x time later.

Liar 2 then gets reigned in by the IRS, who is aware of Liar 2's usage of USD IN CASH, because it has become standard to use everywhere, and is audited heavily.


nothing new here....

How does Liar 2 prove that the bribe was rejected without the participation of Liar 1? Or, what steps could Liar 2 have taken to ensure that the money was received erroneously yet returned correctly to an address that is not owned by Liar 2, and will in no way lead the IRS to believe that Liar 2 is taking inexplicable sums of money for no apparent reason?

What can be done, other than immediately ceasing use of the account and submitting it for review and bribe 'extraction' by authorities?

In what type of scenario would Liar 1 be so willing to bribe Liar 2 to an account that is "public" in the sense that it's used for personal documentation purposes?

In what type of scenario would Liar 2 be willing to share this "public" address with Liar 1?

Just wondering.

Liar 2 would have some sort of trail to indicate how he got the return address (eg. an email or whatever). He could show that communication and prove his return transfer. Of course, the emails could be faked, but that is why the IRS or a court would make an assertion on that. The last piece (cryptographically proving he made a payment to X) is the easier bit.

Well all seems to be good now, though if there's one tiny bit that bothers me, it's the use of referring to a general body of people that is possibly not exclusive to males as "guys" in the above post, which is inherently sexist despite how commonly it slips. Thank Doug Hofstadter for that pet peeve of mine.

Aren't you a bit picky there? Smiley
I'm not a native speaker but always thought it could be applied to mixed group (men + women) when addressing people in a friendly manner?

Anyway, it's nice to see the chainradar story finishing happily!

It is commonly (though informally of course) used for people of either sex and even groups that are exclusively female.

Quote from: dictionary.com
Informal. persons of either sex; people:

Can't believe this political correctness/social justice garbage has filtered through to Bitcointalk.

Since we've fallen and we can't get up...

You ever stop to think how much the words "correctness" and "justice" are changed by the adjectives "political" and "social"?  In fact they are fundamentally changed as to have completely different meanings.
Changed to diametrically opposite meanings, I'd say.

What about "it?" As in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDgS6qLsVM4

This is how I imagine BCX spends its weekends.  Grin

"You all", "everyone", "they" (which can be singular or plural), etc.

I know people don't mind, but it is an affect of our male-dominant culture that should be made aware of, or in the case of the natives, an affect of an ignorant colonist culture.

OK, so maybe we are drifting a bit off-topic, but:

So, "you all" (also pronounced "y'all" where I come from) is the politically correct way to refer to a group of mixed-gender persons?

Yeah why not

It might offend the solipsists.

Little do solipsists know, Socrates was the OG of solipsism Smiley

please do not burn chainradar for this mistake. yes it was abused by people to spread fud, but c'mon, who belives this shit anyway, we all know monero is secure Grin
i have nothing to do with them, but i really reckon this was just a bad coincidence at the wrong time.


Possibly so, and I know I was coming off a little half cocked... but a few of the comments pissed me off.  And I was comfortable under the circumstances with calling it out...

Is that an answer?  

I was honestly asking.

Sorry 5w00p, I use "why not" all the time as, I don't (yet) see any significant reason as to why you should stop yourself from such, as a general life philosophy.
