Boom. Just saw the results today. I snagged some at the very bottom for 1.0851 Grin This was my first time to actually use GLBSE, really cool. I love the new interface.

If he tries hard enough he can even get a 4000% bonus on a 10BTC deposit Tongue

When I saw that 2000 btc deposit on your account I got kinda pissed, until I reminded myself that I really can't complain with what im making. I am very impressed with pyramining.

Which one of the 2000BTC deposits left you kinda pissed? Wink

BTW, those were pure luck. I don't know who are those 2 persons who deposited 2000 BTC each, hell, I don't even know if it's the same person or 2 different persons. lol

A big thank you to them/him/her. Really nice bonus they/he/she gave me. Good karma.
The second one, the one that i saw this morning after a 48 hr referral drought. Just when I was starting to think that the feeding frenzy was ending. Damn, what I would pay to have 20000 dollars under me. I look back and wish I would have had the initiative to make a thread for it like you did early on. Oh well. Good work. At least I'm making over a billion percent on an undisclosed number of bitcoins.

bob i don't think they want to copy the paypal platform and from my experience with dwolla i don't know how they upset you but the system itself to receive money using your bank account and pay someone using the dwolla platform its ok.

but many people like yourself are upset about the mtgox to dwolla or dwolla to mtgox transfers. i don't think dwolla close your account without notice or freeze your funds for 180 days.

so comparing to dwolla with paypal i think it's wrong in my opinion

good points, i just felt like ranting after reading their new tos when i logged in. It's nice for paying rent or something i suppose, but that's really about it. The service has a couple of nice features that I would probably like to use, if I actually trusted the bastards. Maybe theyre not bastards, maybe they are. I lean towards "yes, bastards." They have become very similar to paypal; but you are right, they are not identical to them. It is frustrating to look back at when they strutted into the banking game claiming to revolutionize this and disrupt that, but really there is nothing special about them anymore. There has been so much backpedaling on dwollas's part, and they still think they are gamechangers... Also, I don't understand how ANYONE ANYWHERE would EVER trust someone with much money when they explicitly maintain the right to change their ToS without notice.

I suspect that f bitinstant starts fooling around with ach transfers--which I hope does not happen--they will likely run into some of the same problems.

Dwolla is a fucking embarrassment of a business. They come around touting their "no risk of chargeback" bullshit, thinking that they can build a foolproof, low fees network built completely on top of auto clearing house transfers with zero experience in the banking world aside from selling a few subwoofers on eBay. Unless you want to get fucked on a daily basis, you can't have instant transfers plus no chargebacks if your genius idea is to facilitate ach transfers between users. To think that dwolla is proud of the fact that they have no banking experience. Their brazenness screwed tradehill out of business. Since then, they have become nothing more than a VERY shitty clone of PayPal and moneybookers, with a laughably unsustainable business model. Every time they come out with a new post on their pitifully unprofessional blog, i want to vomit. They are fools--Ben Milne, Ashton Kuthcher, the lot of them. I will continue to use them until I get my okpay account set up, but I am awaiting the day when all of my funds in dwolla are permanently inaccessible.

edit: sorry, this is probably out of line.

FYI, your generated referral links don't automatically hyperlink.
1108  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do people use referral programs? on: May 17, 2012, 03:18:19 PM
I have only used one, namely pyramining. I got in early and am making a killing because people click my links for one reason or another. I'll try this out
1109  Economy / Economics / Re: Insight: I used to think lending at interest was evil... on: May 17, 2012, 01:53:30 PM
Fiat money lending is not a business because it involves money creation. Today its under regulatory capture by a cartel of banks organized around a monopolistic monetary system.

The "default" risk supposedly borne by the bankers is a joke when in fact they create money out of thin air by issuing credit. How can you lose something you don't own in the first place ? Bankers charge insurance premium on top of their interest rates so the borrowers pay twice (that's how it works for mortgages in Europe for instance).

Time value of money ? Another joke if bankers can create money out of thin air unless thin air is more valuable today than tomorrow (I know most bankers will argue for that with a straight face).

Bitcoin is a game changer because 1/unlike elastic money it does not facilitate FRB 2/ banking is no longer reserved to a cartel


bingo.

This is the message I received, it just kind of had scam written all over it (paypal, girl, new member, I wasn't selling btc, "precautions"). At the time it was clear to those who read my posts that I had no bitcoins to speak of. Social engineering really pisses me off.

"Hey there!
Are you still looking to sell some Bitcoins? I'm looking to increase my wallet to buy hardware so I'd love to buy them from you as long as the price is decent. Please let me know what you think and what you want for them! I'd prefer to pay by Paypal, unless you have a better idea (If you don't mind I'd like to take precautions so I know I won't get scammed).

Thanks!
Gabriella"

1119  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: [SCAMMER] MegaHustlr on: May 11, 2012, 08:19:25 PM
His name on Dwolla is Tyler Kurz, ID 812-486-5994. There aren't very many Tyler Kurzes on the internet, turns out. Dwolla is now monitoring his account.
Not sure who "CV" is, but his name on this public profile http://www.1up.com/do/my1Up?publicUserId=6007868 is "TJ&CV" and it shows the location as Ridgefield, CT

Also http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10150723629489736&id=249899034735&comment_id=21802910&offset=0&total_comments=100 Grin

Hey thanks for doing that. Those results show Tyler Kurze (at least the top two, my university firewall blocked the last link), but on Dwolla it's Tyler Kurz... There are 7 or 8 people by the name of Tyler Kurz on Facebook. I guess it doesn't really matter though, I'm not the vigilante type  Tongue

Really, it was my fault, there were several red flags that I chose to ignore. I was just really not expecting someone to scam me for such a petty amount.
