INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Every new bitcoin that comes into existence is the product of a previous transaction. The only way to get bitcoins when you don't have any is by receiving them in a transaction from someone else, buying them for cash, or by mining new bitcoins. For more information on receiving bitcoins, see how to receive bitcoin. If you know someone who currently uses Bitcoin, you may request that that person sends you a predetermined number of bitcoins. If you do not know anyone who uses Bitcoin, you may receive bitcoins by offering some type of transaction with other Bitcoin users, and you will be paid in bitcoins. The other option is to "mine" for bitcoins. If you cannot get bitcoins from anyone else in the Bitcoin network, you can earn them by mining for them. Mining simply means that you solve a complex mathematical puzzle which helps verify other people's transaction histories, and in return you're awarded with free bitcoins. It's free to receive bitcoins, but you'll typically pay a fee for sending them in a transaction. However, mining is an expensive and very complicated way to get bitcoins at this time and not practical for most people. For more information on mining, see how to mine bitcoins. . If you do not know anyone on Bitcoin, do not have anything to sell, and do not want to mine for new bitcoins, you can buy bitcoins through the network. This can be done in one of three ways: Buy bitcoins from a person - you can purchase bitcoins through person-to-person marketplaces and pay with cash (in person or deposit), bank transfers, money wires, PayPal, and other methods. The trick is finding someone trustworthy, so it may be worth using an escrow service (such as CoinCola or LocalBitcoins) to protect yourself against fraudulent offers. OTC platforms usually also allow you to a upload an ID proof. For added security during your trades, you may require the ID proof of your trading partner. Buy bitcoins from an exchange/outlet - exchanges and outlets is essentially on online service that either facilitates transactions between users (exchange) or sells their own accrued bitcoins directly to customers (outlet). You'll need to create an account and have your identity verified before you can use an exchange or outlet. Buy bitcoins through an ATM - you can purchase bitcoins from a physical Bitcoin ATM using cash, though many bitcoins are one-directional and only allow you to either buy bitcoins or trade them for cash. Many government regulations dictate whether an ATM can be installed and where, so finding an ATM near you may be difficult.

SUMMARY: Sell products or services for bitcoins. Mine for bitcoins. Buy bitcoins

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Remove the shade from your lamp. Wash the shade with warm, soapy water, then rinse it off. Dry the shade off with a paper towel. This will remove any oils or residue that might prevent the paint from sticking. From now on, only handle the lamp shade from the inside, otherwise you might get those oils on the part you're painting. You can find glass paint in the glass painting section of a craft store. It comes in many different finishes, including translucent, opaque, glossy, and matte. Some glass paints even have sparkles in them! A translucent finish will allow the most light to pass through while opaque will look more like acrylic paint. A matte finish will give you a sea glass effect. Make sure that you are using glass paint and not stained glass filler. Stained glass filler is too fluid for this. Choose a decoupage glue (e.g. Mod Podge) in a finish that you like: glossy, satin, or matte. Pour enough glue to coat your lamp shade into a disposable container, then stir in 1 to 5 drops of food coloring. Keep stirring until the color is consistent and no streaks remain. The more food coloring you add, the deeper the color will be. A glossy finish will look more translucent, while a matte finish will give you a sea glass effect; satin will give you something in between. Hold the lamp shade from the inside, and apply the paint with a wide, flat brush. Make all of your brushstrokes point in the same direction: up-and-down or side-to-side. Apply a light, even coat to reduce brushstrokes. Use a brush made from synthetic taklon bristles for best results. Avoid camelhair (too soft) or boar bristle (too stiff). How long this takes depends on the type of paint you used. Glass paint can take up to 24 hours to dry, while decoupage glue will only need a few hours. Some paints also have a curing time, so double-check the label. If the paint feels sticky, that means it has not finished curing. Leave it alone for a few more days. This will give you a more opaque finish and help conceal any brushstrokes. Alternatively, you can paint the inside of the lamp shade--just be sure to wipe the inside down with rubbing alcohol first. How long this takes depends on the type of paint you used, so check the bottle to be sure. Let this second coat or inside coat dry and cure completely. If the paint still feels tacky, it has not finished curing yet. Let the lamp dry for a few more days before you reassemble it. If you try to put it back together too soon, the sticky paint will pick up dust and dirt. If you want to add a stenciled design to your lamp shade, read on to the next section before you reassemble it.
Summary: Remove, clean, and dry the lamp shade. Wipe the surface down with rubbing alcohol. Pour your desired glass paint into a disposable container. Make your own paint with glue and dye if you cannot find glass paint. Apply the paint to the outside of the lamp shade. Let the paint dry and cure in a dust-free place. Apply a second coat of paint, if desired, and let it dry. Reassemble the lamp once the paint has dried.

Use a low setting and place a t-shirt or towel between your fabric and the iron to protect the fabric from damage. Then, slowly run the iron along each of the seams to flatten them inside of the jacket. Your jacket's pattern should indicate what type of closure it requires, and each closure will require a different process to install. Some closure options include: Zipper Buttons Snaps (for heavier materials, such as leather or denim) After you have completed your jacket, give it a second look and make sure there are no loose threads hanging from the seams.
