Bitcoin seems to be working

Thanks to those who paid overnight via Coinbase. It seems to be working well.

For those who want to avail themselves of my latest media for fundraising, see the post below.

Thanks!

Panhandling ... now with Bitcoin!

I want to thank everybody who has participated in the first 2014 iSteve fundraiser so far.

Due to popular demand, I'm going to try out accepting Bitcoins. I'm using Coinbase as a sort of Paypal for Bitcoins.

This Coinbase startup is backed by the prestigious venture capital firm of Andreesen Horowitz so it has been checked out by people who understand this stuff a lot better than I do.

I've been leery about accepting Bitcoins in the past because I've long been tracked by extremely deep-pocketed organizations out to get me for ideological reasons. (Hi, Heidi! Hi, David!)

But now the IRS has issued instructions regarding Bitcoins. I'm having Coinbase immediately turn all Bitcoins I receive into U.S. dollars and deposit them in my bank account. At the end of the year, Coinbase will presumably send me a 1099 form for filing my taxes.

Payments are not tax deductible.

Below are links to two Coinbase pages of mine. This first is if you want to enter a U.S. dollar-denominated amount to pay me.

Pay With Bitcoin (denominated in U.S. Dollars)

This second is if you want to enter a Bitcoin-denominated amount. (Remember one Bitcoin is currently worth many U.S. dollars.)

Pay With Bitcoin (denominated in Bitcoins)

Thanks for your support.

Henry Louis Gates on Nicholas Wade

Over at my iSteve blog's new host, The Unz Review, I respond to Henry Louis Gates' review in the WSJ of Nicholas Wade's "A Troublesome Inheritance."

What's my most boring obsession?

Wrong!

It's even duller than golf course architecture.

Feminist theory is stuck in "Groundhog Day"

Over at my iSteve blog's new home at The Unz Review, I point out that the latest faddish feminist theories were tried and failed over 40 years ago.

My depressing Peyton Manning-style prediction

Over at The Unz Review, I blog:

The Milli Vanilli World Cup Team

Over at my iSteve blog's new home, The Unz Review, I have a new post on an interesting nature/nurture experiment being carried out with the U.S. World Cup soccer team:

C'mon over and check it out.

Obama Admin: "C'Mon Up, Undocumented Breeders!"

Over at the new host for my iSteve blog, The Unz Review:

Obama Admin: "C'Mon Up, Undocumented Breeders!"

By the way, a few tips on commenting over there.

Your privacy is a major priority.

You can comment under your real name, a long term pseudonym, or some one-time characters you randomly jab on the keyboard: e.g., "dsfvaewds" -- the latter two protect your privacy while allowing other commenters to respond coherently:

-- I was awestruck by dsfvaewds' brilliant distinction between ...

-- Indeed, but dsfvaewds still overlooks the impact of Godel's most subtle paradox ...

And so forth ...

As for emails, which won't be publicly displayed, feel free to make up a fake one. I'm told that the usefulness of this is that it serves as an impediment to somebody posting comments under your usual handle since the impostor won't know the email, real or fake. (So far, that hasn't been a problem.)

Thanks.

The Amish and Nicholas Wade

I have a new column up at Taki's Magazine on the Amish as offering a new perspective on the controversy over Nicholas Wade's A Troublesome Inheritance.
