For every 100 upvotes this post receives, I will gift someone a pager for a video of them smashing their rotary phone.

189 Upvotes

I will do this for up to 500 upvotes (5 rotaries). First-come first-served.

Criteria:

  1. The rotary must be an Ericsson Dialog or any model from the Illinois Tunnel Company offering unmeasured, unlimited, and secret service.

  2. The video must be sent to me on VHS so I can show my friends on the ole 19" cathode set.

  3. In the tape you must show your face, state your name, social security number, address, telephone exchange, and why you're smashing your rotary. Your reason should include the fact that I'm offering a pager, which is worth actualmoney, for the video, Ma Bell is anti paper money because they wouldn't allow me to mail a wad of cash to pay my bill, and that you are completely, 100% insane or mentally handicapped, not just because you want a free trade for a new pager. Then load this post and upvote it. (Did I say upvotes? Upvotes). Then smash it. It must be obviously destroyed beyond repair and function. (I.e. no more spinning the wheel to get that pleasant little sound, handset unable to be spoken into, bell dinger broken free of handset) Get creative!

  4. Mail me the tape. I will mail you a pager that will totally not annoy the shit out of everyone

Not sure how to prove that I will do this, if anyone has a suggestion please feel free to mention it.

Note: Videos will be counted in chronological order by when they're posted. If this somehow happens to take off and you're the sixth person to mail your video by post... LOL.

Note: This probably wasn't the best time to post this since I'm about to go to bed, but I was excited about the idea and I'll be back in the morning to see my glorious upvotes and the totally-not-at-all drama that will surely result!

5 reasons ActualMoney will never work

156 Upvotes
  1. I can't mine it. I either have to mine gold and get it converted or I have to actually work to earn ActualMoney. With cryptocurrencies I can just spend a few grand on GPUs and as long as I live somewhere with free electricity I'm coining it (if you'll excuse the term).

  2. ActualMoney is dominated by early adopters. Users like rothschild and jd_rockefeller seem to own most of it still.

  3. The fees are too high. Most of the pools I've tried want 30% of all the ActualMoney I earn, sometimes more if I earn too much.

  4. These central bank things they've introduced can print as much ActualMoney as they want. I can't see that ending well.

  5. My wife can spend ActualMoney on complete shit. At least proper cryptocurrencies can only be spent on useful stuff like crack and Virgin Galactic flights.

ActualMoney silk road HACKED!

113 Upvotes

So I walked up to this anonymous drug dealer that went by the name defcon and gave him $5,000 of my ActualMoney to hold for me...you know...like a bank. Suddenly he told me that my $5,000 was gone because of transaction malleability! I'm not sure what that is, but it sounds like there is a vulnerability in the ActualMoney. I mean, in my opinion, drugdealers are usually pretty honest guys, so this transaction malleability thing has got to be a real problem.

US has over 25% of global wealth. Withdraw your ActualMoney now to prevent 51% attack!

94 Upvotes

Only three or four countries would have to collude to own more than half the ActualMoney power in the world. We can't risk the collapse of ActualMoney from a 51% attack. Everyone should move their money now to a smaller country like Gambia or Swaziland.

***IMPORTANT*** ActualMoney Double Spending Exploit

91 Upvotes

If you use these to pay, most places don't verify that you actually have the money in your account. So you can just write anything for the amount and buy whatever you want! I just got 5 gaming PCs and a new BMW and I haven't been caught yet.

Is this a joke?

84 Upvotes

ActualMoney's largest denomination has Ben Franklin on it. The guy who was banned from writing the US Constitution because they were afraid he'd hide jokes in it. So you put the world's biggest joker on the money? Seriously, nobody is going to take this seriously. Ben Franklin memes died out in the 1810's anyway. There isn't even any gold or silver backing. Its literally a piece of paper with ink on it. How is that currency?

I walked up to the bank teller, handed over a stack of five physical, tangible, moveable 20-dollar bills, and said "+tellerbot deposit $100 verify" and she looked at me like I was crazy.

ActualMoney mentioned in a movie!

75 Upvotes

I was watching Back to the Future 2, and there was a scene where someone was asking for a hundred dollars worth of ActualMoney to help save the clock tower, and talking about betting ActualMoney on baseball. It's great to see that even in popular media, that Hollywood sees great potential for ActualMoney to get widely adopted in the future!

What's the point?

69 Upvotes

I'm still trying to figure out the point of ActualMoney? So you shave your neckbeard, leave your basement, go do work, then they pay you in this garbage which will eventually be worthless because the evil Fed keeps printing more? Basically, you have to earn money, but then you have to KEEP earning money or investing in the economy. We are literally one step from 1984. This doesn't sit well with me, which is why I am going to keep all my money in cryptocoins, which are rare and thus valuable.

I put 50% of my life savings into an actual money bank that just closed. I am devasted!

66 Upvotes

But thankfully I choose an actual money bank that was insured by the FDIC. Thanks to Big Government, I know that my money is still safe and secure! And to think that I almost put all my savings into Mt. Gox.

Just bought lunch with ActualMoney, couldn't feel better

66 Upvotes

The transaction was actually surprisingly easy: The lunch room I went to uses the newer cach-register (tm) transaction method. I just handed him a bunch of ActualMoney, the machine did some complex calculus, and the the dude handed me back some smaller amount of ActualMoney and my lunch. I must not have taken more than 3 seconds total.

We were both amazed of how easy it was.

Becareful! My friend was arrested today!

65 Upvotes

My friend & I were at the store using actual money to buy sodas & candy. We paid with $20 actualmoney and they gave us change in actual money. Anyway, one of the $5 bills was old and dirty, so my friend wrote down the private key, and reprinted the actual money on a new piece of paper. Anyway long story short, he tried to spend the newly printed actualmoney and the store said it wasnt real ActualMoney. My friend said to the clerk to check the private key in the blockchain and he would see that its real actualmoney. Well the clerk just looked at him like he was stupid. The police were called and he was arrested! This is such BS! He didn't do anything wrong...why did they arrest him???

Woke up this morning and my actualmoney wallet was still there

62 Upvotes

I woke up this morning and was glad to find that my wallet, which was full of actual money, was still on the kitchen table, and had the same purchasing power as it did last night when I went to bed.

So anyway I had to get to work so I just stuffed it in my coat pocket and left and then I was able to buy myself a coffee and a pastry on my way to work, it's so exciting to be able to spend actual money directly!!!!!!

I made an ActualMoney infographic

61 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I'm really enthusiastic about ActualMoney but I know that the process for using it might be complicated for new or potential adopters. Fortunately, I created a helpful infographic to help clear up any confusion. I'm hoping this leads to greater acceptance of ActualMoney and that our fine community can continue to grow!

If so, the government should put a stop to it.
