Title: PayBox / VirtuaPay giveaway
Post by: nelisky on June 07, 2011, 07:16:54 PM
So a long time ago there was a thread about PayBox (now VirtuaPay) as a potential payment processor on the make. I joined in and have collected over 1k VP$.

Now, I'm pretty sure the whole thing is a sociological scam, where you create value from nothing because people who "get on board early" get free credits like I did, so they'll do almost anything to keep these credits. I stopped having any belief in it when they created an auction site with 'test' auctions and then took it down, like "you already had a taste of how we can move this virtual currency we control and create out of thin air into something virtually real, so your faith in us is restored, back to holding control of you".

But all these issues and doubts apart, today I received an email stating they'll soon force all users to have a Facebook account... now, that is just pushing it too far. I don't have, never had, and will continue to try as hard as possible to never have a facebook account, so I'm out! Anyone on the system wants my VP$? If more than one person wants them, I'm open to bribery as I make my decision of who gets them ;)
