Title: Looking to Buy a 4GiB Flash Drive
Post by: lachesis on June 23, 2010, 02:41:42 AM
Hello all,

I'm looking to buy a relatively new 4GiB flash drive to use as a root device for a Debian machine that I'm building. Anyone interested?

I am. But I don't use Paypal or banks. We could use mail. Or any other option you think of.

This is where we'd need the distributed reputation database (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178.msg1445#msg1445). But hopefully in this case you can find some other way to trust the party who is to complete his part of the deal last. ;)

How about Bitcoin? :P

Indeed, we need a reputation system. Lacking coding skills, can't really help. Until then I have an idea: someone make a new post and if lachesis will buy the flash drive from me, will post his opinion. If I runaway with his bitcoins, people will know I'm not trustworthy. On the other hand, if we end the transaction successfully and he votes for me being trustwothy, I could open the roads for making bigger transactions.

Users with no rep wouldn't be trusted, thus only small transactions would be likely to be made with them.

Sorry lachesis, didn't logged in until now.
if you won't trade with davidonpda, I'll do it!

PS One of the reasons would be bitcoin's price going high :P

Wobber, sorry, too late :( I just completed the trade with davidonpda.

Thanks for the offer, though.

My trade went great. I paid Davidonpda 1/2 the agreed upon amount and received the flash drive two days later! My experience was completely positive. Thanks!
