A little hunting and my hunch proved correct re: FinCEN. Ripple Labs just got his with a $700k fine for money laundering and Stellar is based upon the Ripple setup. http://www.fincen.gov/news_room/nr/pdf/20150505.pdf http://bankinnovation.net/2015/05/ripple-labs-fined-by-fincen-for-money-laundering-violations/ This is something of a knife-in-the-gut for Ripple Labs. Cheryl Gurz, managing director of the emerging technology segment at Bank of New York Mellon Treasury Services, an all-star in corporate banking, has said publicly that “protocols like Ripple and Stellar are ‘getting rid of bilateral legacy processes that banks have been using for years to keep money in their pockets.” Well, this FinCEN action certainly appears to put a damper on Ripple’s ascension.
Sort of. I used it to pay for a yearly subscription to a proxy service. I also gambled on some site with it and tripled the amount I had in my wallet or whatever.
Aside from doing a couple of those HITs, mine are still sitting there. lunar will turn up every once in a while with an exchange update, always makes me laugh.
Are these the storyteller hits I've heard mentioned here and there? I can see how they would be profitable but not my cup of tea at all

Oh, yeah I forgot to add that I did that as well, right after I got confirmation on the fax being sent... It's just an endless mess.
Big v2l batch up. Thought they'd be good to ham since it's so late and not a lot of people would be on them, but they're still pretty much loading like ass. I guess you gotta ham them REALLY late to get smooth loading.
