Just an anecdote.  As you who have ordered from some of our International friends know, tracking numbers provided by them often never enter the USPS tracking system - One has to use a third-party tracking tool just to see if the letter has left the destination.

On Friday, I had to run an errand and missed delivery of a letter, getting the standard "Delivery Attempted" slip in my mailbox.  As this letter is somewhat important, I called the main USPS number, and they were unable to locate the tracking number in their system either.   They transferred me to their "International Department", where they WERE able to find the tracking number, and I requested re-delivery the following day (Saturday).

Along comes Saturday, and no letter.  I called again, got another confirmation number for re-delivery, then made a note to call my local Carrier Annex this morning.  They also were unable to locate the tracking number, so the gentleman on the phone checked to see if the letter was there at the facility - This took three tries and 15 minutes on hold.  Finally he returned, telling me he had called the carrier, and she has it on her mail truck for delivery today.

Just a reminder of how painful it can be to track / locate international letters - If you know you aren't going to be home, and no one else is either, a PO box is probably the best solution.  These packages require a signature, and if no one is home to provide one, it can be awfully troublesome to arrange a re-delivery.

ON UPDATE: She did indeed have it, and all finally arrived safely.

  8. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: whereas if I use fiat to buy something the money is green anyway. Monero does this really well. Anyway rant over, you can DM me if you'd like to talk more about cryptos.
  9. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I don't really think that people understand the whole point of cryptos in the first place anymore. BTC just won't be adopted by governments because the transactions are too public and what's worse, money that is freshly minted is better than money that has been used. Like if my btc was used for something that was illegal does that mean the money is "poisoned"?
  10. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @xenxra Yeah, Like I said I've never really been that fond of btc, it isn't used as a currency, just as a place for people to invest money in, even though the whole purpose of btc was to be a currency. If it doesn't fulfill that role, what does? Monero certainly does.
  11. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: What's good guys! Just got back home. Missing football today :( Fuck the probowl lol
  12. shoutback @ shoutback: Volkanovski is the greatest featherweight of all time. Better than Aldo or Holloway at their peaks.
  13. S @ sawganaut: I bet btc bottom is in
  14. D @ dragnetopher: No, I don’t think it. I know it. And it’s not just bitcoin, it’s all crypto. And like I said, they’re selling to acquire liquidity for when countries truly start utilizing what’s been set in place. The USD is under controlled demolition as we speak. This is all part of it.
  15. xenxra @ xenxra: there is no shortage of whales - https://tikolu.net/i/fmnru.png
  16. xenxra @ xenxra: tokenisation is not a plan its already been happening for months, ive been trading this whole move on silver through ethereum
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: you think whales are dumping bitcoin because of something everyone has known about for like 4 years? what does bitcoin liquidity have to do with trading tokenized assets? they don't have pooled liquidity.
  18. D @ dragnetopher: Whales are tanking BTC due to the fact that the future is coming now, literally. There’s a plan to tokenize every single asset possible. This is whales dumping so they can have liquidity for the Springtime.
  19. xenxra @ xenxra: @Gulp2788 this is a terrible spot to buy bitcoin haphazardly because it's going down another $5k -$7k if 80,000 doesn't hold. i told everyone to get the fuck out of bitcoin at $103k. it's better to buy late when the bottom is more certain than throw darts and act like the opposite outcome was unavoidable just because it went down "a lot" and everyone seems to be "freaking out". wait for it to get back over 85k
  20. xenxra @ xenxra: @aarons the last time i said monero was on discount in here it went up 5x in 3 months
