Bitcoin Forum

Starting today, if you live in the US, you can use your credit or debit card to purchase bitcoins.  If you live outside the US, your not out of luck.  We plan on extending our services to other countries in early 2012.  What we provide is pretty straight forward:

• Buy Bitcoins Using Your Credit or Debit Card
• Instant Delivery to Your Wallet (New Customers May Experience a Delay)
• Our Prices Are Updated Every Minute to Reflect the Exchange Rate
• Safe and Secure, Completely PCI Compliant

We would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on ways to improve our service!

Nice web site. I like the fact that it's simple, lean and clean. The process of buying bitcoin seem simple enough. Great work!

I sent an email to support@simplecoin.com to report a typo, but the email bounced with a message saying, "We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (support) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post messages to the group"

I haven't gotten past the homepage, because I'm not interested in purchasing ATM, but when/where do I give my CC info? Is that page HTTPS?

Who owns and runs this service?

Your Terms read:

In what locale are you based?

Looks like a great way for new BTCers to buy their first coin!  Will recommend to my non-technical friends. How long should new users expect it to take between placing the order and receiving their coins?

Just ordered some coins. Waiting for them to appear in my wallet.  I guess this quote answers my first question as to how you plan to deal with the charge back issues that have killed all other previous attempts to do this:


So, you are trying to "scare away" the criminals?

Wow, I suppose this is one way around it - charge $150 dollars to their credit card assuming it is there credit card. Interesting approach! ;D

I think that your price are not attractive. 20% to 30% over the mtgox price.

But good luck. A lot of people are asking for a simpler way to buy bitcoin.

2 questions people would probably like to see answered.

What do you use to calculate the cost per bitcoin? Why is the smallest amount you can buy 3 bitcoins (i assume it is because of CC fees)?

Good luck, I hope you can overcome fraud and exchanges like this become more popular!

Compliments of the spelling junkies in IRC.

Verify Your Phone Number
Our checkout process is very straight forward (straightforward).

That's(') It, Your (You're) Done!


And Good Luck!

:)

Dude, you're going to get scalped so hard the second any black hats find out about this... Just a head's up.

I really think that you should deliver HTTPS end to end for the site. As I clicked the checkout button, I got the red Chrome warning page about the site not being what I'm looking for. This behavior will certainly scare off a chunk of non-techie users.

Whoah! 30% price difference to go from Dwolla's 4-day turnaround to "instant".  No thank you.  Good concept, though.

+1

Ordered 10 coins, paid a premium for them but got them almost instantly.  Nice service.  Good luck with it.

The Bitcoin Review - Write a review for SimpleCoin.com (http://www.thebitcoinreview.com/site.php?site_id=798)

wow thats quite an expensive way to buy bitcoins.

It's expensive, but fulfills a certain need (people who want bitcoins now, or who don't want to deal with getting money into the exchanges).

Is SimpleCoin.com for sale?: https://auctions.godaddy.com/trpItemListing.aspx?ci=44661&miid=58106669

I'm surprised to not find a name here: http://www.sos.wa.gov/corps/search_results.aspx?name=&ubi=603157328

Is this your phone number: 800-791-2755 http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:mrkEnoR_SYcJ:www.adianl.ca/pages/members_details.php%3FID%3D108+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Or, is this your phone number: 425-999-3001 https://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=simplecoin.com&prog_id=GoDaddy

Is simplecoin.com and simplecoin.us two different companies operated by two different people?

The reason for asking is I'd feel more comfortable using a credit card for this service if I had a general idea of whom I'm dealing with.

Thank you, in advance, Bruno.

Yes! So do I, as well as everybody else reading that page. But what's lacking is a name. The name of the person who incorporated the LLC. I was surprised to not see it here.


That being the case, I'm surprised that the 'for sale' sign is still up. The last time I sold a domain, as well as purchased a domain via this route, the sign(s) came down. Somewhat like purchasing from eBay. Once somebody buys what's listed, the auction item is no longer for sale.

I look forward to your clarifications on these minor issues.

Sincerely, Bruno

Ah! I see, now! That makes perfect sense. One more thing, if you don't mind. For the record, what is your name?

~Bruno~

How far back in time can one issue chargebacks or otherwise scam SimpleCoin? Would it be practical to allow customers to provide a BTC deposit until the transaction is safe, in exchange for a better price?

Would you be willing to provide better prices for those providing more proof of ID along with credit information?

Therefore, if the phone number is correct, the following address and relative information is correct?:

I also called the 800 number provided by http://www.buydomains.com/EnterContactInfo.do?domain=SimpleCoin.com and, according to them, the domain is still for sale for $1,895. I asked Joel, the rep I spoke with, that if this domain was sold recently, would it still be listed for sale. Joel informed me that the moment it sells, it immediately gets removed as being for sale. I provided him my email address so that he can send me more information and, moreover, provided me a record of our conversation.

I am surprised to not see that it is for sale on Godaddy, when a few hours earlier it was for the same asking amount. Odd!

By chance, did you read my last question? I've noticed you've been online since I penned it, therefore assumed you would come to your thread to see if there's new questions that needed addressing. Perhaps, you're still working on the answer. Take you time. It's a tough question, one I've asked twice earlier--3 total--but somehow still not received a direct answer.

As before, I look forward to kind reply.

Sincerely, Bruno

Bruno, that address seems to be the Nike campus in Beaverton, OR?

The Nike campus is nearby:


Since I've directly asked the challenging question "What is your name?" simplecoins has logged in twice, each time after me posting my posts. Prior, they've answered all other questions promptly and thoroughly, but have avoided this one like the plague.




Logged on shortly after I posted this question, but did not address it.


Again, logged in after I posted that post.

Here's an easier question while you're hunting your name: Is this site hosted on Amazon's cloud?

Fair Warning: I do have other questions in regards to your 15500 SW Jay Street address, but I'm keeping them in reserve while awaiting the more pressing question--What is your name?

Personally, I'm just seeking fuller disclosure before I provide my credit card number to purchase Bitcoin from SimpleCoin.

Bruno

Be honest, you won't ever buy anyway regardless of the striptease simplecoin performs to please you.
Simplecoin can't ever steal your money because you can issue a chargeback and you know that. This 'concern' is all just for your own entertainment.

That's my private opinion.

It's up to you to notice the extra fraudulent charges and call your credit card company.  A lot of people don't notice...

Although I do respect your opinion, you are wrong. This is not for my private entertainment! I'm not even concerned about the chargeback issue. And I'm not looking for a striptease by simplecoin to please me. With that, would you care to take another stab as to why I've asked questions? Take your time.

On a side note, I'm not sure why you opt to express your kind opinion is this fashion. Please let me know where I'm off base, Blizz.

Bruno

It's giving the impression that Simplecoin with which I you have never dealt with, is somehow hiding something and looking to scam people. Subtle badmouthing of a service you don't know while claiming to be a potential customer.

Let's wait and see what his real customers have to say on this forum.

I appreciate PG for all his hard work everywhere on these forums and his line of questioning here.  I did try the service and got my (expensive) coins almost immediately.  Just for the heck of it I did check my credit card charges and so far there is only the one charge:


And no other bogus charges.  I personally don't expect any but I will let you know and if there are any I will simply dispute them!

BTW SimpleCoins:  What is your name so I can more personally thank you for your great service?

Thanks Darin!

I do appreciate this post. I will always try to be honest with my postings. With that, I need to re-quote and re-address this before addressing your new post, above.



The above may be considered a falsehood lie (I might as well use the right word, here). Chances are pretty good that I would not use this service after receiving answers to my questions. But I was seeking fuller disclosure, not for me, but for the Bitcoin community, as a whole. My only regret, is that I didn't state this earlier when you first mentioned it and stated "Be honest". I stand behind the rest of my response to you, though.


I'll admit to being subtle and claiming to be a potential customer, but I'll have to draw the line on the badmouthing aspect. Nor have I called SimpleCoin a scam, fraud, cheat, etc.


With the except of the last 4 words of this sentence, you are exactly correct with you assumption. Via my subtle approach, I'm giving the impression that SimpleCoin (a new company I've never dealt with) could possibly be hiding something--STOP!

The truth of the matter is that I knew the name Darin Stanchfield was behind SimpleCoin before I asked, hence my subtle request:


My hope was that Darin would offer up his name so that others may take the time to Google it and see for themselves if they would be comfortable dealing with SimpleCoin. That was my intent, anyway, hoping to distance myself if I was off-base but, at the same time, hoping others, here, would do their own due diligence. What happened is that all my questions were answered with the exception of a name, which was sidetracked, not once, but twice. Everyone here could see/read exactly what I'm in reference to.

For those interested, allow me to outline why, in my opinion, a red flag was raised when I first read this.

First, this:


Darin was whitelisted after posting the above in the Newbie section. Besides having a command of the English language, how can this one post launch him out of Newbie without having to further post there or put in his community service (hours)? I found this odd, but even odder, I offer the following:


Innocent enough looking post, until you consider the source: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=46434 This is arfeniel's seventh post, first after being whitelisted the usual way. Arfeniel became a member on this board on 11-20-2011 (note to self: Google that number  ;D), and simplecoins became a member on 11-13-2011. That's when I start smelling a dirty sock. But I couldn't stand the smell any longer after reading the following:


That's arfeniel's 6th post less than 24 hours earlier. Not only do I want him to pick my lottery numbers (that's another effin' lie, for I don't play the lottery), but I want him to pen my biography for, he too, has a command of the English language.

And one more thing:


Another long time reader, perhaps since April?

Let me be clear and honest. The above posts, along with my comments, are NOT THE WAY TO JUDGE anybody or company. Like I've stated, this is what raised my eyebrows. THAT IS ALL!!! Period. But, it was the raising of my eyebrows that lead me down a path and finding Darin Stanchfield.

That said, I will not comment further on this--at this time. Everyone here has the ability to do their own due diligence. I did mine. My only request is that Matthew get his chart software handy. It may be needed.

Bruno

PS: I sincerely hope that my comments here does not take away from the efforts I'm providing with Bitcoin100, although I have been sidetracked from those duties due to this concern.

One last thing, as I've done so in the past, I'm man enough to apologize for any errors in my actions. I only promise that I'll make more mistakes in the future.

Where can I SHORT your company?

From what I read and what someone has already pointed out, you will be fulfilling a large amount of stolen credit cards....

So keep your prices high, you'll need it.


But I do like the effort. Just change it up a bit... and you 'might' be able to make it work. I am wondering tho... since I don't know your rates... does your mark-up cover the mark-up the Credit Card Agency charge for cash with drawls on credit. If your under that... Let me know.. It'll be free money.

Darin,

All we can see for a fact is that you have 21 posts.  We have no idea how long you have been reading, how much you have read, which threads you have read, or how long you have been around so please let me fill you in on a few things:

Because of the non revertible nature of Bitcoins it is much easier to scam people out of their BTC than it is to scam them using VISA, PayPal, etc.
Because of this fact criminals of all kinds flock to Bitcoins.
These criminals have come up with many ways to scam people, some obvious, some very subtle.
Many have fallen prey to these criminals over the years.
This leads to a very high level of paranoia in your customer base.
This is something you have to deal with as a vendor in the Bitcoin space.

Have you ever heard about certain tribes, when faced with the issue of trying to find out which member(s) of their tribe is lying, will place a red hot knife on the tongue of each member of the tribe?  The members that are not lying will not get burned, however those caught in a lie get their tongue burned.

This whole vetting process you are going through as a new vendor is kind of like that.  If you answer every single question with total and absolute honesty you will survive and be welcomed with open arms into the Bitcoin tribe.  However if there is even one small ounce of deception in you or your business the tribe will generally find it.

We are not just picking on you.  We do this to everyone who comes in trying to sell us something and join our tribe.

Your quid pro quo response has left me in somewhat of a quagmire. Do I reply, or shelf the issue with the hope another comes along and pick up the mantle. I flipped a coin. Heads, I post a reply. Tails, I don't.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the last time I've read a similar post, it didn't bode too well for the hot-under-the-collar poster. I purposely used h-u-t-c for the simple fact that you're assuming a rather defensive stance, a stance, I may add, would better serve you if saved for court if, or when, actual accusations, of which I've yet to tip, are volleyed your way.


The above quote was not offered by you, but I felt a need to quote it, for I'm about to address each sentence of your post, in no particular order--for my own entertainment. I'll try do to so by not coming across as a pompous ass, Darin Stanchfield (https://www.google.com/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Darin+Stanchfield%22).


Not a hunch, but red flags. I didn't start looking into SimpleCoin because I had a hunch something didn't smell right. In fact, starting my own investigation was not based on any of the other posters who've asked questions. It started after reading the OP and post #2. That is all! And is the truth! If nobody else would have posted, I would still have gone forward with my research. But...here's the kicker...I wouldn't even have given SimpleCoin a second thought if there wasn't that post #2.

http://www.legendsandlore.com/images/gsockpuppet1.gif

So, to me fair, I'm not accusing the second poster of being one of your sock puppets. It could simply be a coincidence. But that coincidence fired up my tinfoil hat, now experiencing difficulty in turning it off. (I see, now, that this is going to be a fun post to pen and, hopefully, read)


You sure have! And to everybody else on this thread. But exactly what changed? You're not acting like the same person prior to posting this post. For a person who's none nothing wrong, with nothing to hide, a defensive stance should be furthest from your mind. You would simply address each question and concern with the utmost truthfulness and courtesy you can muster, with mustering anything not even entering into the equation, for replies would come naturally and easy. See the rub you're now causing for yourself?


In all your excitement, you left out family--and pets. I am surprised to read that 'employee' is singular.


Perhaps, I shouldn't have opt to skip around addressing your post, but address each point in order. But why be methodic?

I've read that sentence several times, trying to put it in context, each time failing, therefore still not sure of your intent with that question(?). The best I can do is that you meant, "Simply put, you might be wrong." and if that's the case, that's the case. We all move forward, with the utmost apology from me and a 1 BTC donation to Bitcoin100 in your name. Please, make me pay!


I like this one! As I've previously stated with an elaborate outline, you sure have, with always carefully avoiding the 'name' question. This, clearly, everyone can read how that all transpired. My tinfoil hat almost caught fire when all that was transpiring.


And you did a good job, I may add. Too good of a job, for you even avoided answering other questions, not related, at the time, by other posters, although you were clearly longed in here and had ample time to do such. Perhaps, you were in a quagmire yourself at the time, for if you replied to the other questions, but ignored mine, that would have possibly raised red flags for other readers of this thread. My guess is that you were biding time to see how all this unfolds and, at the same time, jockeying for position on how to handle this issue. To date, from my view, it's not going so hot, but time will tell.


A badge! Since you've done a lot of reading of this forum, you'll probably got the joke. But then again, if you would have done a lot of reading of this forum, you wouldn't be making the same mistakes others have made in the past. You would be making new ones. Ones of which would be much harder to detect.


Yes! My main concern was how this would effect Bitcoin100 if I proceeded with my postings here on this thread. Therefore I spent hours, yes, hours, Googling my ass off, making sure that the route I chose had a solid foundation. Granted, there's still a slight chance that I'm mistaken and, if that's the case, I'll go into damage control and fix everything, and we all move forward.


And believing in a project is an admirable virtue, one I can relate to with Bitcoin in general and, now, Bitcoin100 in particular. The capital you have invested into your project is definitely more than I'll invested in mine which, by the way, is nil, to date, with the exception of donations, which don't count, although I'm planning on investing, or donating as the case may be, capital to put in place a web presence. You may also have me beaten in time, albeit I've put in many a man hours. BTW, many other people have put in capital and time into projects they've believed in, to still have them not bear fruit. But a project based on a strong foundation, has a hell of a better chance to succeed than one based on shaky ground.


Actually, I've avoided directing anything toward you as long as possible. You may consider this post as my first attempt in directing any implications your way.


I believe this is the last sentence. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. Next time I'll address everything in order, because this proved to be not as much fun as I thought it would be doing it this way. It even pains me in having to pen this post. Not really!

As I've mentioned before, I've risked the reputation of Bitcoin100 by moving forward with. But, moreover, I risk the credibility of Bitcoin if I'd opt not to pursue this matter. And cred is really what this is all about, I believe.

That now concludes me addressing your post. I now see that bwagner has penned a well thought-out post, one, if I may suggest, heading his advice.

Thank you kindly, Darin Stanchfield (https://www.google.com/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Darin+Stanchfield%22), for your post, allowing me to address it in kind.

~Bruno~

PS: It was heads!

And you never did explain your YouTube video showing a cat being put in a microwave. Only kidding! Glad to hear it all is going well, Leo.

Very eloquent post, bwagner. That said, who is Darin Stanchfield?

Darin,

One final note on this subject.  By some luck of the cosmos you drew Phinnaeus instead of Matthew to your thread.  If you want to see just how lucky you are you can check out this thread where Matthew tries to help out Mr. Coins:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=52625.msg628476#msg628476

So I received this email while I was at work today :


When I got back, I immediatly jump on my computer to read the whole saga. Well not right away, I did take a walk my dog first. Anyway, it's amazing that, exactly 4 weeks and 3 days (something is going on here) after being a member of this forum and only 2 days (wait a minute, I smell something odd) after joining the big league, I'm involve in some kind of conspiracy or scam or fud (whatever makes you happy). I don't know if we can call it luck :


but if I was Phinnaeus Gage, I would not want me to pick lottery numbers for sure.

About the 11-20-2011, what should I be looking for on Google? Is it the Dilbert commic strip (http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2011-11-20/)?

Ok, so back on track. I'm not simplecoin nor am I related to him. I commented of a nice website and what looks like a easy to use service. Was I wrong? Also, I did not, and will not anytime soon, buy Bitcoin through is website. Heck, I have a btc-e account and never transfer any currency in it. Same thing with my Paxum account. I'm interested in Bitcoin. I want to see it grow and conquer the heart of those who are sick of the current banking system and his fees. I run the client 24/7 to support the network even though I don't have any Bitcoin (well, only 0.05611137 BTC coming from my hard working 1.03 khash/sec miner).

Btw, what do you mean by :

Not quite sure to understand. After all, I am french canadian, eh!

Until the next thrilling saga,
Arfeniel

Well, this is a strange way for Darin to handle the controversy. I feel that following up with comments on his thread would better serve him than that email approach. But, then again, this could be the followup.

Arfeniel, I believe you didn't take the time to read everything I wrote that was in reference to you. If you had, your post would have read differently. For starters, the 11-20-2011 reference, of which I made, has absolutely nothing to do with you or Darin or SimpleCoin. My comment was an aside comment of which I penned directly after typing 11-20-2011 after noticing that it reads backward and forward, the same. My comment 'note to self: Google that number' was a snide reference toward myself, and meant as humor, at my expense, for those who have firsthand knowledge of my Googling skills, or lack thereof. I, being human, have made mistakes in the past, and will continue to make them in the future but, hopefully, will keep them to a bare minimum. That said I've, not once, but twice, have distanced you from this episode. You're not part of a conspiracy. or scam. or fud. Like I've stated twice before, it was the oddness of your post that caused a red flag to be raised in my eyes. Nothing more. You're out of the equation. Anybody here, after reading only the OP and your post, would have come to the same conclusion, although I'm somewhat surprised that I'm the only one, to date. I've done no research on you what-so-ever, with the exception of https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=46434.

After saying all that, I'm now leaning another way after reading your latest post. I'm surprise it has the same defensive tone that Darin has. I'm just saying, for I'm not entirely convinced that an alpaca sock is not in play here. But the hell with all that. Accept my apology if I'm wrong, arfeniel. You're not the key issue here, what-so-ever.

Now, for my dilemma. Although I've yet to post a single direct link, should I do so here, on this thread, or start a new one?

For a person who doesn't have a damn thing to hide, sure the hell's been doing a lot of hiding, of late.

And look at the email I received the other day:


So, as you can now see, there was a prior red flag before I raised my red flag, and only did so after reading the first two posts.

With that, again, where should I post the first link? Here or a new thread? If a new thread, any suggestions of what I should title it? BTW, these questions are not directed toward you, arfeniel, although this post was originally meant only as a reply to you, but it veered off course.

My reply was meant to be humoristic. As you know now, my first language is not english so I may sound off sometimes...


For my defense, you do write quite long posts  ;)


How did I miss that  :)


I don't think one was due but be sure it is accepted. I did expect someone to be alerted by my post. I did post it 5 min after the thread was started...

I still didn't get the command of the English language. Care to elaborate? I swear I won't take it personnaly  ;D

Cheers!
Arfeniel

It was a snide remark toward you, from me, stating that your English sucks. What's now sad about me posting that prior, and now having to say it again, is that I totally forgot that many members here have English as their second language. I wrongfully assumed that English was your main, and only language, hence pointing out consistently bad grammar. I, and most of us, make mistakes in writing every now and than, but a series of bad writing in one post, sticks out like a sore thumb. It sometimes resembles a kid's writing.

I hope that clarifies of what you've asked. Also, thank you for understanding my post and accepting my apology. Welcome aboard. BTW, I'm not really a bad guy. It's just that when I sense something not right, I've learned to share it with others, opposed to just saying to myself, "Oh, Well!"

Thank you again, arfeniel.

Bruno

1) I'm in America at the moment and haven't followed the forums.

2) Now that I'm here, I don't see any fraud. He hasn't made insane claims like Mr Coins ("You can do A or B" even though A and B have already been proven to not work) or Leo Camillo ("I am a millionaire, but can I have $20 for this domain because I can't afford it").

It is important for the OP to know that any business accepting credit cards where the product is delivered instantly will suffer from fraudulent transactions-- it's common knowledge.

It's also important for potential customers to pay attention to the payment gateway used at any website to make sure the OP cannot just write down their credit card address and use it on another bitcoin site and claim they were hacked.

Happy Holidays.

Glad to read you're back, Matthew. I can't believe you got pass the TSA, though.

I have no qualms with the actual website, simplecoin.com. But I may have a concern with its owner, hence my posts on this thread. I'm only looking out for my fellow Bitcoiners in regards to all this.

Truthfully, I would loved to be proven wrong and have everything I done stuck up my ass. If that be the case, I'll spread my cheeks for entry.

Thank you for that lovely mental image. Let me get the eye soap.

Note: I don't know how it was simple before us, but I'm pretty sure DialCoin made buying bitcoins even simpler than Simplecoin, and it was released beforehand. Might want to pick a more accurate slogan.

Buying Bitcoins Became Simple In America Today

That works. ^_^

P.S. We're announcing 20 more countries including the US on the bittalk.tv Christmas Special!

Sorry about that, boonies4u. I guess a tad to colorful, but was driving a point home (damn, that doesn't read nice either).

This post may, or may not, be off-topic.

Did you see my new thread? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54134.0

I'm somewhat taken aback lately for not seeing Darin Stanchfield (https://www.google.com/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Darin+Stanchfield%22) promote simplecoin.com more. Has it been shelved?

May have run into some sort of problem with selling BTC on their merchant account?  Don't know.

I will try to buy some more from them on the 13th.

I see what happened. The auction ended. Now it's for sale again with a new listing number: https://auctions.godaddy.com/trpHome.aspx?t=22


And it's still for sale over here: http://www.buydomains.com/EnterContactInfo.do?domain=SimpleCoin.com


I'm sure Darin Stanchfield (https://www.google.com/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Darin+Stanchfield%22) has an explanation. Perhaps he made a mistake and was trying to list another one his domains.

Could you please contact HugeDomains to have them remove the listing? That would probably stop the confusion.

What I tried to point out is that the current GoDaddy auction is a new listing. The first time I mentioned it, the auction ended shortly thereafter. I'm pretty sure that Godaddy doesn't automatically relist an auction 2-3 days after it expires. Not a single eBay auction would automatically be relisted after ending without being directed to do so. I'm pretty sure GoDaddy's auctions are set up in the same manner.

I'm looking forward to Darin Stanchfield (https://www.google.com/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Darin+Stanchfield%22) having this issue resolved so that we can move unto other things.

Speaking of issues, what technical difficulties are you experiencing? When will the site come back online?

I guess it all depends on how many Darin Stanchfield (https://www.google.com/search?gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%22Darin+Stanchfield%22) there are, coupled with what exactly transpires at this address: 15500 SW Jay Street (https://www.google.com/search?aq=f&gcx=c&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=%2215500+SW+Jay+Street%22+Beaverton)

I've never claimed to be an expert at Googling, but I'm well aware of earthclassmail being located there.

Again, I couldn't help but notice your defensive stance. If something like this was directed towards me, I would put on my kid gloves and continue to punch back with the utmost courtesy since I'll have nothing to hide, thereby showing professionalism to any readers.

That said, here's a brain buster: It seems that there are several domain names stemming from that address incorporating darin, or various spelling thereof, in them. Do you happen to have control of those as well?

I didn't come right out and attack you, although my early posts were meant to shown light on who is operating simplecoin.com.

My post that you quoted was meant as humor at the time. Since there, I've stated that I'm pretty easy to find here in Sandwich, Illinois. Just about everybody knows Bruno (me). I'm not allowed to give my last name due to the fact of being on the witness protection program. Maybe I'm not on such a list, but if I were to offer up a product or service that required the accepting of funds via a credit card or Bitcoin, I would reveal exactly who I am and definitely not use a mail box provider as an address.


Don't be silly! Cheating on homework once in high school is no big deal. We've all done it. But what if I offered up proof that you've done it more than once. Would that shock you? (now look who's being silly--me)

I'd have to admit that that was a pretty tough question, asking you if you own other domains names that use that address, hence not knowing exactly how to answer that. Personal, I would have simply replied with a yes or no, depending on what the truth is. But hey, that's me!

But this is where that non-provided information would be important with regards to Bitcoin. It seems, to me, that a lot of people, on other forums, are up in arms about a certain Darin Stanchfield and domain names that have provided that address, which can be seen on WhoIs. Therefore, my concern is that same Darin Stanchfield may be in our mist and I, personally, would hate to see another MyBitcoinCoin episode transpire, hence my concern.

Granted, there's still a slight possibility that I'm totally off base here, but I wouldn't be doing Bitcoin justice if I simply sat on the sidelines withholding my brain buster info.

Now, I'll wait for your kind reply. It will be kind, won't it?

It's amazing how this thread is going exactly like a previous thread, but at the end, it didn't bode so well for the defender. Taxing my memory, he quoted the same wiki info.

I very much doubt I would get in trouble for implying anything. I've been very careful with my wording because...wait for it...I've read that wiki page a handful of times. Long before I got involved with Bitcoin.

Chargebacks may not arrive for a month or two or three. In fact, I experienced a chargeback a couple months ago for $750 worth of wood I delivered 2 1/2 months prior. The wood is now on her restaurant walls, yet she claims that she offered no such charge and that somebody else used her credit card. My only saving grace is that I still have some of that same old painted wood and can easily prove in court that she is lying. A couple days waiting for chargebacks make no sense here, to me.

I've seen this exact same thing happen before, and at the end that person closed down that domain. I'll try to find that site where I read that, again, and post it here.

This is a kind reply.


The information you provided above, is exactly what I'm in reference to. This is the relative information I so desired the community to read. I will take you at your word that what you have to say about all that is factual.

With that, I will hold off from saying anything more on this issue at this time. I'll simply leave it to the Bitcoin community to decide among themselves if further investigation is warranted.

If all goes well, I truly wish you success with simplecoin.com.

With your permission, I wish to donate 10 BTC in Simple Coin's name to the current Bitcoin100 pool.

Thank you kindly for offering up the quoted post.

Sincerely, Bruno

As far as I'm concerned, this issue is solved. Here's hoping Darin does well with this venture, providing a means for those seeking Bitcoin another option to obtain them--via simplecoin.com

Now I can't get this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV1LWhNpTJU) out of my head and I can't stop laughing... damn first degree jokes!

So what happened?

I frequently run across noobs that just want to quickly get their hands on a few coins and I used to suggest SimpleCoin to them.  When will you be back on line?

This thread is  :-X

Looks like you may be Wright :)

SimpleCoin seems to be having trouble so I am on to check out the next one:  https://klooch.com (https://klooch.com)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54468.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=54468.0)

Yet another place to buy BTC for CC (for a while anyway).

The site seems inaccessible at the moment.

What happened to SimpleCoin?
