10701  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: sbregar97 tried to scam me on: August 05, 2013, 12:00:19 PM
let me know hos this turns out

i want to be sure bitmit escrow settlement isn't retarded

Bitmit banned sbregar97 and gave me the money back.
I was just about to start a dispute. He just tried to scam me out of 1.5btc for a laser. He claimed that he shipped it but didn't get tracking. Yet claimed to have gotten USPS Priority which automatically should come with a tracking number. I'm glad to find out bitmit escrow isn't completely bad.

-edit- this was also after telling me he couldn't sell me it for bitcoins because he was a compulsive gambler and he was scared he would throw it all away gambling. I considered offering different form of payment using an escrow but after 24hrs decided not to and canceled my order and requested my funds back. However the seller was able to decline my refund and then mark the order shipped 24hrs later. It wasn't until a few days after that that he even replied to my message and claimed he shipped it. I am curious as to why bitmit allows the seller to decline a cancellation/refund request and just instantly marked it shipped so it can't be cancelled if the order hasn't progressed anywhere near shipping yet.

I offered to buy this same lazer for his asking price right away and asked him to send first. He got more offended than I thought was normal. This is often a reaction I see in future scammers when I ask them to send first.

10706  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Count down to Iran invasion on: August 03, 2013, 06:09:22 AM
The issue, as outlined in the wikipedia entry, is that they aren't using Federal Reserve Notes to transact their oil internationally.

Of course they don't. We don't trade with them. If the US cares so much about what currency they use, why did we place an embargo on them?

You're saying that it makes sense for the US to invade their country, leading to US deaths, negative public opinion, and a debilitated Iranian economy just so that they use USD instead of the Euro? That is not sound logic.

I think it would make more sense for the US to just lift the embargo. Why go to war?

It's irrelevant whether the United States trades with Iran;  it's a currency issue.  Exporting Federal Reserve notes maintains the value of the US dollar, and the United States uses military force to ensure that the US dollar stays as the world reserve currency through the Petrodollar.

This. Listen to what he is saying for a second before you convince yourself of your point. The US NEEDS people to use the dollar to trade in oil because that is what backs the value of the USD. Seeing as the USD is fiat with zero backing, the only real way they can force people to use it is via energy cartels which mandate people to use it to trade oil, and therefore accept it in exchange for oil.

This means a constant supply of foreign holders. It doesn't matter of martians trade with us, if they buy oil in USD from ANYONE it props up the dollar, and it certainly needs some propping. That is not even to mention the geopolitical value of the region in regards to proxy war with Russia and China, but all the natural resources located there. I am not advocating war, but these are facts.

You seem to ignore some of my points. It's kind of annoying.

You have not explained why the US would impose an embargo on Iran, if it's so important that Iran use the USD. Maybe I'm crazy, but wouldn't trading with them force them to use the USD? Are US merchants going to accept rial and start speaking Farsi?

Also, energy cartels? You mean like OPEC, which Iran is a part of but the US is not? The US does not have an "energy cartel". In fact, for the most powerful nation on Earth we are very reliant on others for energy. Interestingly enough, less than 13% of our oil comes from the Middle East.



Finally, proxy war? This is not the Cold War. China is our closest economic partner. If they suffer, we suffer. We are not enemies with Russia either. Remember that the US did not start the Syrian Civil War. Assad was a dictator, and like all dictators his people got fed up. In this case Russian and American interests came in conflict, but it was not a decision made by Russia, the US, or Iran. It was purely the fault of the Syrian government.

This last paragraph is not a reply to the quoted post, but you've been ignoring it every time I say it. Explain why Hamas is exempt from the "mutual defense treaty" but the US is not.

You seem to be operating under the assumption that the government has public interest in mind. This is about protecting private business, and the current corrupt failing financial system long enough for them to collapse it profitably. They don't care about the United States, or its people, or any people or nation for that matter. This is about 1 thing, same as in every other war. Profit. The US, China, and Russia are on an economic and resource based collision course. One or more nations must change its consumption habits quickly or else there will not be enough resources to go around. This is a fact. This is first a game by the capital holders, second the world being made to dance and climb over each other for the privilege of things like clean water and nontoxic food. If they have to burn down the world to make a profit they will.

please do request a scammer lol I would like to see the outcome is lol

what is you problem ? 

I have... My problem is that you are trying to steal my idea zack, you are trying to steal my website too... You have admitted it is my idea, my project my website and you have asked for your half of the domain costs back and I agreed a long time ago... I have asked you how you want the payment but you do not answer.. I have asked you what you did for those "100's" of hours but you do not answer...

Are you going to give me back my website or not? You are only hurting the community by doing this... There are lots of people waiting to beta test my idea and you are holding all of them back by continuing this non-sense! You had a great opportunity to be part of something fresh but you blew it! This is not my fault zack!

Are you giving back my website or not?

He can't come up with his own ideas. He tried to do this to me as well. He saw a thread in which I was offering withdraw services from BTC-e and decided it would be a good idea to chase after the same 2 nickels as me rather than come up with his own idea. He basically then came to my thread and started attempting to make people think I was a scammer. This guy thinks he is slick. He is not.

I'm skeptical about the truth of this article considering that nobody knows who these law enforcement people are, and that her husband, "ever the oppositional kind", made no attempt the validate them, and he even allowed them to search his home.
You were right to be sceptical. It turns out the man did his search for "pressure cooker bombs" from his work computer, shortly after being fired, and his boss, who was no doubt shitting himself at the prospect of a disgruntled ex-employee blowing up the office, did the only sensible thing and called the cops on him.

This is so confusing. Will we become less violent when the world cools down as the new fad suggests?

10714  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Count down to Iran invasion on: August 01, 2013, 07:45:59 PM
No, I think it has to do with Syria, from the looks of things. Last time I checked, Iran is not the same country as Syria, but I could be wrong. In any case, the major "opponent" of the US in the Syrian Civil War is Russia, but we are clearly not going to go to war with them over this one country.

They have a mutual defense treaty.  The US has been unsuccessful at provoking Iran, so they are trying to start a proxy war through Syria.

You are right, why have a clearly decent discussion when we can spend time being right!

What discussion is there to have, at least on this thread? Clearly there was no invasion, and I still think that there won't be. Why did you choose to necro it two years after it was started anyways? If you have new evidence, why bump this as opposed to making a new thread?

You are so right! Certainly nothing related to discuss...
