So I was looking at your site... trying to find a reputable exchange to convert my BTC to cash and I wonder about your "shody" site. I tried to find out "more" and got a blank page. I tried to find out about your "payment methods" and got a blank page. Surely I don't need to log in before I can learn about your services, right? Why do none of the buttons work? Not reassuring in any way shape or form. Thought, maybe because you used lame AXP pages that it only works in IE, nope, still a bunch of blank pages. What's up with that? The only button that works is the one that takes me to the movie about what bitcoin is. If you can't even run a website how can I believe you won't steal my money?

Post by: TangibleCryptography on November 10, 2012, 05:57:06 PM If you can't even run a website how can I believe you won't steal my money? You can't. Likely you shouldn't use the service.

You do realize you are alone in the crowd. Nice try. Title: Re: FastCash4Bitcoins 100,000th Bitcoin Promotion (Update: winner announced!) Post by: Viceroy on November 10, 2012, 06:07:17 PM Viceroy You do realize you are alone in the crowd. Nice try. So when you click the buttons on the top of the page they lead to something? I've tried it with several browsers now and none of the buttons work... just like I said. As a person who has not signed up for this service and was seeking a vendor I find the douchebag's response above to be classless and in bad taste. I expect a certain degree of professionalism from companies and the lack of professional response here is deafening.

I'm trying to find a legitimate and easy way to convert BTC to Cash and I find this site (https://fastcash4bitcoins.com/) and I ask what's up with none of the links working and all of sudden I'm a red headed stepchild. Clearly the owner of the site couldn't care less about customer service so it stands to reason he doesn't give a shit about customers. So, I'll chalk this up to another scammer website. Unless somebody can provide a good reason for their top links not working. As I said if they can't even make the website work how could ANYONE trust they will not steal the coins? The owners response was atrocious, a true embarrassment to the community. "You can't. Likely you shouldn't use the service." Uberlame. Guess I'll go back to BitFloor.com.
