In short, guy with mod powers first shamelessly stole my logo idea, screwed all other designers as well and then locked the thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137514.0

While I am a graphic designer, and I don't personally approve of spec work, this bounty WAS SPEC WORK. He said very clearly in the OP it would go on as long as it needed to, that is your cue to expect nothing for sure. If he actually used your logo I could see that being an issue, but did he? Additionally I have worked with Xenland before and despite all the accusations flying around lately, in my experience he is an honest person who would not be interested in robbing forum members.

NOTE: It is not illegal to own, The Secret Service simply pressured ebay to remove them in order to create that appearance as well as shut down the most active NORFED marketplace. If it is illegal why are they still on Amazon?  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=norfed

I've still seen them listed on eBay. Are they still removing the listings, or do they just kinda go under the radar? I need to pick up the larger denomination notes to complete my collection at some point.

They remove listings primarily by keyword and human sorting. Neither is 100% effective.

I was buying from them before the last raid in 2009, in fact they confiscated my last order. This prosecution is very clearly politically motivated. BVNH took appropriate steps to bring himself into alignment with the law. IMO he was abiding by the law creating NORFED, but when the powers that be don't like what you create you become a criminal very quickly. He was advocating a return to trade in gold and silver, if everyone did that who would the parasites leech off of then? If anyone wants to buy NORFED silver check out my thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=58518.0

its mainly related to the 40% rise in the cost of electricity due to the carbon tax.

Price rises, utility company is on the lookout for theft, they catch more people stealing power. Not that confusing.

amazon $25 - https://btcticker.appspot.com/mtgox/25usd.png

considering there are people selling for a discount, i wouldn't expect too many sales.

You still haven't found a life yet huh grue? You are a sad and petty child with little life to live. You go ahead and try to hijack my threads and I will live with the satisfaction of knowing that this kind of thing is all you have to live for. Enjoy your absence of life.

LAPD cops have been ramming and emptying their clips into random people's pickup trucks that don't even match the description. Fuck the police.
Did the LAPD just get trolled?

This reeks of psyop on so many levels. Watch this unfold, it is already beginning. Note the mans commentary supporting gun control and him wanting to donate his brain for research playing the whole "we can trust returning veterans with guns" card pitting police against armed forces and citizens against police.

This is a real problem that deserves a real solution. How about specifying the parameters of a useful solution and offering a reasonable bounty for an open source solution to this problem. Then you could use that solution to store the funds securely, plus the project will have contributed a secure way to store funds to the community.

This could become a useful tool not just for the forum but many other decentralized organizational structures. IMO it would benefit the Bitcoin economy as a whole in addition to benefiting the forum, and spur development by utilizing some of this surplus donated BTC. Bitcoin regularly has problems with investment scams. Maybe this could be the beginning of a solution to the problem.
11032  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for people to store some of the forum's money on: February 07, 2013, 07:05:28 PM
I'm willing to hold it, with 100% reserve in cold storage, free of charge (I am hoping I would get improved reputation and more trust out of this). I've been around for quite a while, held that amount for Bitcoin100 with no problems, and like to think I'm fairly trusted. I would store it in my Armory cold storage wallet (offline signature transactions, so zero chance of hacks), and would prefer to make the address public so that others can see there's nothing funny happening with the money, as well as that any requests to send it back are verifiable. I would also prefer to have an address that a paper backup in a sealed envelope can be automatically sent to should anything happen to me.

P.S. I also have a few thousand BTC in my personal accounts, so I've "dealt with far more BTC at one time than what I'll be holding for the forum."

This should be a requirement for all partial key holders, otherwise the disappearance of one party could make a grouping of funds inaccessible. Is is possible to perhaps make some kind of "time lock" storage which will automatically release the funds back to a designated central account unless the trusted key holders reset the time period of the lock on a say monthly, or annual basis?

In this way the only circumstance in which the funds could be held up is by willful defiance of the partial key holder. Is there a way to divide the keys so that say 5 out of 6 partial key holders must cooperate rather than all 6 to reduce the chances of a rogue person holding up forum funds?

Rather than a 2 of 3 scheme, maybe a 5 of 10 scheme. Hand out 20 keys to well known members (with 10 real, 10 fakes). Don't announce who holds any keys. This prevents collusion, as if forum members start asking around if they hold a key, alarm bells may go off and report back to theymos.

If something were to happen to theymos, everyone can turn in their keys to whatever authority is present at the time.

Also this^  
Making diversion keys is probably a good idea. In this way any attempt to steal the funds might be discovered early and thwarted before actual funds are stolen. Additionally a 2 of 3 scheme can help prevent loss because of a user disappearance for whatever reason.

Spent Casascius coins are traded with empty wallets, but that hardly make them a currency or means of payment, they are more a collectible.

Un spent casascius coins with an intact hologram is different. However Bitcoin itself has to be ruled a currency or a mean of payment before Casascius coins become illegal.



If you read thru this case it is really not about what is and what isn't legal currency. The man challenged the powers that be and they blinked. When the government wants you they will have you. BVNH was railroaded and the customers of NORFED were robbed, not by its creator, but by the federal government that seized about $7 million in gold, silver, and platinum. Even outbound orders still intransit were redirected back to HQ for seizure. They even tried to seize the minting machines but they found they couldn't because the same mint makes the blanks for the US treasury   -_-   Idiots trying to rob their own supply chain. In the end this was all about grooming a jury and applying force under color of law. the unilateral ban on ebay sales is just more proof of this. If NORFED rounds are really legally classified as contraband why are they still on amazon? All they were doing was selectively targeting the most successful centralized NORFED trade market.
