I'm frankly surprised you moved away from the gold standard.

Gold standard?! Clearly you think he is more modern than I do!

I don't pay for plates online because they charge a fee for using a card. So it's either cash or check for me.

Oregon doesn't charge a fee for using a credit card.

Online transactions have to be much cheaper than paying employees to do what people can do themselves online. I

Something about smoothening operation of a bureaucracy troubles me. If I can take the time and effort to proffer they can take the time and effort to meet me halfway.

I suppose that works if one is retired and doesn't have to take time off work to drive to the DMV and stand in line.

I prefer to take 5 - 10 minutes to do it online.

He's an interesting combination of being ahead of the times and behind. I mean, paying in Bitcoin isn't exactly mainstream, but perfectly congruent with freebeard's libertarian sensibilities.

We're of the age of having been trained by companies to exchange privacy for convenience. Supplying my email address seamed a good deal to be able to map my travel route back in the day, for instance.

It wasn't that long ago Oregon didn't even accept debit. They required cash and had an ATM in the office that charged a huge convenience fee. I always suspected the DMV manager had a brother in the ATM business. I was accepting credit card as a highschooler in 1999 for occasional Ebay transactions, meanwhile every single encounter the DMV has with someone involves a monetary transaction.

Apparently I've mined $1,000 worth of Etherium since Feb.

I'm in the process of migrating the GPUs into a more power efficient tower and placing that in my office to keep warm this winter. It'll also be my surveillance PVR, media repository, and gaming rig (not that I have time to game). It's got a RAID controller and 4 hot-swap bays, so it should be quite a monster of a rig.
