I just placed a bid on this for 56 bitcoins - feedback looks legit.  What do you guys think?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/190824950470?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

On the surface feedback looks ok.  A potential issue could be all of the sales of software, but again so far looks like a real seller.

I do not like the 48 hours part though.
I would have no problem buying Bitcoins on eBay... it's selling them that makes me nervous.  This seller has some nads...
1082  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: 56 Bitcoins for sale on eBay. on: April 15, 2013, 09:10:36 PM
Odd that bids are so low...
1083  Economy / Speculation / Re: So, everyone knows about Bitcoin now... why isn't the price going up? on: April 15, 2013, 08:53:45 PM
It is nearly impossible to buy.
Mining is really the only way.   I wanted to buy 50k worth, you cannot.   The exchanges act like they are brokers also and none seem worthy of any trust whatsoever.   Most do not accept wire transfers (WTF???) and many suggest you go buy a money order?Huh?   What kind of legitimate business does that?
Basically, I would rather send $50k to that Nigerian General's wife that keeps emailing me.
What about Tradehill?  They're supposed to be catering to the wealthy, having a $10,000 minimum deposit.

They are catering to the truly wealthy and licensed financial institutions.

By truly wealthy you have to have over $200k salary for at least two years.

This is not their policy, they are trying to follow US trading rules for their setup.
Oh wow, I wasn't aware of an income requirement.

It wouldn't be too difficult for them to make this work for people actually sitting and eating in these restaurants - since the restaurants are already integrated into foodler, they wouldn't have to set up any special POS system.
*sits down at table*
*opens up foodler on smartphone*
*sets delivery address to restaurant*
*submits order*
*waitress arrives*
"Would you like to start out with something to drink?"
"No ma'am.  I've already ordered."
*Huh*

Did not like the looks of them.   They did not seem as credible as they made it seem.   And then when I searched for the background, I found some complaints.   If there was a ticket window at the airport (even with their rip off F/X rates) that had bitcoin on it, I would walk up and do an exchange.   Because let's face it, there is NO exchange for wheat (just wheat) -- what needs to happen is BTC needs to GET LISTED as a product on some other exchanges, not build its own exchanges to basically trade ONE THING.
I think we would all love to see that happen.  Maybe something is already in the works along those lines...

It was fully my expectation that when "mainstream" news got out about Bitcoin that we'd see a lot more people buying in.  I see more and more people and companies wanting to use it, so why aren't we seeing a price increase?

I figure it's due to one of four reasons:
1) Lag time between hearing about it and actually buying some.
2) Difficulty in buying Bitcoins.
3) It was previously overvalued.
4) Many people have heard of it for the first time, and do not yet believe in it; they are waiting to "see what happens" before they dive in to the world of Bitcoin.

Thoughts?

0.05 BTC for Modern Warfare 3.

Counter offer at BTC0.1? Plus you have been more active than me so I will send you the Cd key first.
Sorry, not worth it for me.  I always planned to buy that game whenever I could find it for $5.  Wink  The most I'd go is 0.06 BTC.

1094  Economy / Gambling / Re: 80 BTC bet between Micon and mrb (are BFL ASICs real?) on: April 15, 2013, 05:24:01 AM


The terminology included in this bet does not change the original 20 BTC bet in any way.  The original 20 BTC bet is only held to the terms specified at the time of the original bet.

BFL will ship out at least 3 ASIC mining devices capable of at least 150MH/s per watt to at least 3 customers (at least 1 device per customer) who post pix & verify hashrate by 12:01am EST 7/1.  No BFL-employee or anyone that has been to BFL labs personally to settle the 3 customers pix & hashrate.  If BFL ships a device that does not meet the power specification, but then does ship out at least 3 ASIC mining devices meeting the above criteria before the deadline, then SgtSpike wins the bet.

If you agree to my statement as outlined above, post here stating as much, and then we can both send in our 100 BTC to the original Bitcoin address, 1B3EAGAgXoALFd6o9762hitoCyH61JxF4Y

https://blockchain.info/address/1B3EAGAgXoALFd6o9762hitoCyH61JxF4Y

I have sent 100 coins additional here.  Your turn SgtSpike!  glglgl
Done.
1095  Economy / Services / Re: [WTB] Hitler Rage Videos on: April 14, 2013, 04:35:39 PM
0.3 BTC!
1096  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Blockchain.info mobile wallet bug on: April 14, 2013, 09:20:04 AM
Still having trouble with this...  Now it says "between 1 and 1000" though.  I certainly do not have anywhere near that number of addresses.  I have not been able to use Bitcoins on my iPhone for months... it makes me sad.  Sad

I figured that running them 24/7 was the best way to deal with hot cards.
Certainly... Cheesy
1098  Economy / Services / Re: [WTB] Hitler Rage Videos on: April 14, 2013, 05:50:39 AM
I'd do it for 0.5 BTC.
1099  Economy / Gambling / Re: 80 BTC bet between Micon and mrb (are BFL ASICs real?) on: April 13, 2013, 08:27:44 PM

Micon - I am willing to increase our bet up to an additional 100 BTC.  If you agree, we can both just pay the original bet address.

I'm in, just please agree to these restated the terms (as this is gonna be a ~ $10k bet when book, who knows what it will be worth when settled) :

SgtSpike bets 100 BTC that this statement is true:

BFL will ship out 3+ ASIC mining devices capable of at least 150MH/s per watt to at least 3+a customers who post pix & verify hashrate by 12:01am EST 7/1.  No BFL-employee or anyone that has been to BFL labs personally to settle the 3 customers pix & hashrate.  

Micon bets this statement is false, also for 100 btc.

Unlike the betsofbitco.in fiasco, I don't believe there will be a problem between 2 gentleman bettors.  Result should be abundantly clear on the morning of 7/1

Just agree to this and we can both hit the hash.  

Sure.  I would like to further clarify:

The terminology included in this bet does not change the original 20 BTC bet in any way.  The original 20 BTC bet is only held to the terms specified at the time of the original bet.

(My changes in bold):
BFL will ship out at least 3 ASIC mining devices capable of at least 150MH/s per watt to at least 3 customers (at least 1 device per customer) who post pix & verify hashrate by 12:01am EST 7/1.  No BFL-employee or anyone that has been to BFL labs personally to settle the 3 customers pix & hashrate.  If BFL ships out devices that do not meet the power requirement, this does not conclude the bet.  As long as BFL ships out at least 3 ASIC mining devices capable of at least 150MH/s per watt to at least 3 customers who post pix & verify hashrate by 12:01am EST, the statement is true, and the bet is won in SgtSpike's favor.

If you agree to my statement as outlined above, post here stating as much, and then we can both send in our 100 BTC to the original Bitcoin address, 1B3EAGAgXoALFd6o9762hitoCyH61JxF4Y

I think we are 1mm from having a bet here, I really don't like your sentence "If BFL ships out devices that do not meet the power requirement, this does not conclude the bet" I understand what you mean and I agree, i.e. if BFL ships a device that doesn't meet power specs but then does ship 3x+ that do meet our spec by our date then you would win.  I agree to that no problem.

Maybe I just ask you to reword it 1 more time and then I hit the hash?  I think we will have a 200 coin extra bet here by the end of the day.
Ok, final (hopefully) wording of the bet:

The terminology included in this bet does not change the original 20 BTC bet in any way.  The original 20 BTC bet is only held to the terms specified at the time of the original bet.

BFL will ship out at least 3 ASIC mining devices capable of at least 150MH/s per watt to at least 3 customers (at least 1 device per customer) who post pix & verify hashrate by 12:01am EST 7/1.  No BFL-employee or anyone that has been to BFL labs personally to settle the 3 customers pix & hashrate.  If BFL ships a device that does not meet the power specification, but then does ship out at least 3 ASIC mining devices meeting the above criteria before the deadline, then SgtSpike wins the bet.

You are not even allowed to pump your own gas because the government is so into protecting you from yourself.

But not having to pump my own gas is one of my favorite things about living here.
I was going to say the same... I love sitting in my car watching someone else do the work.  Wink

Interesting that Oregon is so high in manufacturing.  I didn't expect that.  State income taxes being high is a given, since we don't have sales tax.
