Well I was reading on another forum about this homeless chick. She has a blog called "Homeless Jackie," and I found out she got involved with BitCoin.
I was wondering is BitCoin this damn useful? She cashes out via SR with one of the vendors for Greendot so she can not worry about food for a while she told me. I find this girl to be intriguing to say the least, smart as all hell since she took flying a sign to a whole new fucking level (An innovator to say the least). She even mentioned SR once or twice, I don't know how you guys feel about this but its an easy google search regardless of her help.
Well here's the link if you wanna check it out

If I give her my bitcoins, can I get a receipt to deduct the donation from my taxes?
-
Lol get the fuck out of here. She ain't fucking homeless if she can use BTC. Sounds like a fucking angle if I ever heard of heard of one.
-
Well she still has very good posts on her subject matter.
And thinking about it, you can be homeless with a laptop AND use BTC, neither are very hard concepts to comprehend.
-
What a waste of coin. no one likes begging.
-
Meh I donated to her like .8btc. Positive karma at least.

That ain't homeless, that's called kippin on your mates sofa. ::)

She said its a mix between being on benches, roofs, and couches.

Yeah lol, I ain't buying it.

this is fucking bullshit at worst and a gross exaggeration at best. some hipster who doesn't want to do shit is going around the city acting like a homeless vet and begging the internet for drug money.
also, that most recent post had me rollin. she wants to go pull her life together in Rhode fucking Island??? that whole state is either depraved, mafia controlled ghettos or little fishing villages. thats like if people in london started going to ireland to "get it together"

Ah yes, I forgot, Ireland is a terribly backwards place with a higher crime rate than the city of London. You need to re-examine your crime stats or else take a trip over here. :P

I read this all as Notrealguy being homelessjackie under another name, trying to get free advertising/more bitcoin donations.

Nope, not her.

You're never going to be able to prove that in a way that satisfies me, you know. You deny it, I still believe it. Can't be helped.

^ If you guys are wrong then you're being real jerks.
Knowing how the internet works doesn't mean you've a place to live. There are lots of ways to obtain net access and energy to power your stuff without having a permanent home.
Anyway, you can find out. Ask her to self photograph with a timestamp written on her hand/arm at the location she says she's at as she moves about. Doing that all the time would be too much work for a real scammer.

Given that one fellow who spent 25 years working as a parking attendant that eventually pocketed something like 7 million dollars...
No, nothing that draws in more money is too much work. If the whole point is seeming legitimate, a good(successful) scammer will go right ahead and do that.

HAHAHAHAHAAHHA

what the fuck dude
i saw the "how to smoke cigarettes for free" thing and the first thing i thought was 'she is going to be hunting for half-3/4 smoked cigarettes'

i think you missed my point: she can't find work or a place to stay in a big mega-metropolis and wants to leave it for a small, old-timey seaside fishing state that has only a couple cities sized small/medium which are depraved, depressed, mob-run ghettos.
i've been to all four places in question and i think the comparison was an accurate one.

I don't think I missed your point at all; you're implying that Ireland is similar to Rhode Island, stating that it's cities are depraved, depressed, mob-run ghettos. ??? There are no "mob" type gangs over here, and certainly no organised crime syndicates. The "Irish mob" are, funnily enough, almost entirely exclusive to the US. There are drug gangs, of course, but they keep to themselves as much as possible (except for the odd murder over turf) and certainly have no control over any cities, and only minor influence over small neighbourhoods in which they themselves live - mostly because that neighbourhood consists nearly entirely of gang members and their relatives. These areas are limited to small parts of Dublin, and one specific area in Limerick. They are not 'lawless' areas though - crime is actually very low in these areas due to the large police presence.
I think you'll find that criminal gangs have much more success and power in larger cities such as London, New York, Chicago etc. There are only 5 cities in Ireland; Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford. Of these 5 cities, Dublin is the only one with a population of over 1 million, with Cork (the next largest city) having a population of just 198,500. The smallest city is Waterford with a population of 51,500.
Ireland is not a 'fishing state', it is a knowledge-based economy centered around the service and technology industries. In fact a 2005 study by "The Economist" found Ireland to have the best quality of life in the world, a finding which directly contradicts your statement.
As someone that lives here, as opposed to just visiting, I can tell you that your comparison between Ireland and a state that "is either depraved, mafia controlled ghettos or little fishing villages" is completely inaccurate.
The reason that the person in question cannot find work or a place to stay in a mega-metropolis is because a) they aren't willing to take any job that comes up, or b) because any job that they can find won't afford them a high enough wage to be able to find a place to stay given the higher rents charged in a large city as opposed to lower rents charged in a smaller city / suburban town.

who the fook am i talking to, the god damn irish minister of foreign affairs? are you seriously jacking the thread to debate such a trivial reference?
so replace "fishing towns" with "sheep farming towns" and replace "mob run ghetto" with "hostile disputed territory." and dublin ain't no pretty picture, guy.
christ dude, i'm not trying to insult you or ireland...got mad love for the emerald isle. just merely pointing out that most folks wouldn't move there from a major city as a young person to prosper. yes, i know some of them do, but they only recently took down the sign at customs on the arrivals side that said "wrong way."
so back on topic, this girl is an idiot. unless she plans on becoming a prostitute or lobsterman, she's gonna be shit outta luck in Rhode Island.

I would be willing to take a trip to Ireland and investigate but alas I do not have the bitcoin for the ticket, care to give a poor SR vendor a donation to investigate the condition of Ireland? Oh, and a small beer fund would be helpful as well ;)

I'll get on to my buddies in the Department of Craic agus Ceoil and see if they can hook you up with a beer fund (it won't be small - beer here is pretty expensive and you'll be expected to drink a lot of it!)
Also working on moving every vendor to Ireland to take advantage of our low corporate tax rate. I'll keep you updated and mail you when your plane tickets are available. :P
Seriously though, you should come over sometime, experience Irish hostility (it's the new Irish hospitality!) and have the craic! Not actual "crack", but craic craic.. It's something you'd have to experience to understand! Seeing as I obviously can't buy ya a beer, let me know if you ever find yourself over here and I'll send ya a coin so ya can get a couple on me! ;)

hahahaha!!!! thats great :)
i miss ireland. walking down the streets of dublin, getting chips thrown at my head by an 11 year old; trying to visit the giant's causeway but nearly getting blown off a cliff by the wind; getting so irresponsibly drunk in belfast that i lost my shirt, getting unintentionally spit on in pubs by drunks who's english i couldn't actually understand....
oh, but it was a good craic. never have i had so much fun dancing than in a pub in galway; never see a rainbow so bright as I have off the coast of county Sligo; never have a seen such a strikingly attractive redhead than i have in Derry, and never laughed so hard at my own misfortune than I have while touring ireland.
what a strange and funny little island. i'd really like to go back there before i die.

If it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, tastes like a duck with hoisin sauce then you don't put it in a kebab and call it lamb....

I think you're missing the bigger picture here, which is that Doner Duck could be an expensive yet compelling alternative to lamb. What then eh?
