Yeah, I have done that earlier, thanks. I don't think that's needed yet, but certainly for the last week it would be great.

Well, I have only ever advertised here. Anyway I'll be sure to push harder when closer to the shutdown time, but for now I'll try to avoid over spamming.

Oops Yeah, I use many libraries when coding, some words just kind of stick out. Thanks for spotting that!

Thanks for the bump, I'll try to do the same every day or as close as I can to that.

You are somewhat new here, right? http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=1617.0

It will become the biggest on the market very soon, if all goes well Next week I should close the sale, but unfortunately not for bitcoins... I tried, I really did :p

Well guys, it breaks my poor digital heart, but TAABL has been aching and moaning for some time now, from sheer lack of attention from both myself and the site users. I really have no choice but to take it down.

This means I need everyone to go and grab their coins there so I can take the server out of its misery. A side effect of the Anonymous part is that I have no way of contacting the users, other than here on the Forum. There isn't all that much there, but I would hate to see the site hacked and stolen, so please do withdraw what you have.

This is not the end of the lottery, no... there are plans and there are projects and there are paradigm shifts (how very web 2.0 ) but for the time being there are many more lottery sites on the bitcoin ecosystem for you to waste your hard mined bitcoins at.

I'm planning of taking the server offline on August 15, so why are you still reading this? go to TAABL now

If the transaction wasn't broadcasted should it not say 0/offline? I mean, if the transaction was accepted by at least one peer the original wallet has that information in it, right?

Or is there a way of aborting a transaction before it gets accepted by other peers, say when you are offline and press send?

I haven't traded outside #bitcoin-otc at all for a long time now, but let me tell you I've never had *any* issues with the responsiveness of mtgox, both from Jed initially and Mark now. They always replied to my emails promptly, and the IRC channel during the crisis was also a good place to ask stuff, though obviously the repeated "are we there yet?" remarks were completely ignored.

I'm not saying they have the man power needed to resolve the crisis or that they are not over their heads with requests and tickets, I don't know, but my experience is that they are very serious and honest. Just my 2 bit cents

And yet one of the strongest points in this community is the generalized mindset that control is bad, censorship is bad and what we really need is a self adjusting market/community.

The Forum, however, is a different beast, as it is the "face" of the community and some of the oldest/most active members are doing what they can to keep it clean(ish) without crossing the border of dictatorship. It's a fine line, I can tell you that.

So everything within reason is tolerated and even encouraged, but exactly what "within reason" means is open for discussion. I don't think there's any harm in giving you or your "students" (a friend of mine was cheating on his wife... right! ) the publicity needed here, but be prepared to be removed/blocked/censored if you cross the line of what most will consider acceptable, which in itself is a moving target as the community grows.

Rule of thumb? There's nothing wrong in advertising "illegal", as that is an artificial externally imposed concept anyway, and will depend on where you live on top of that. But if you feel the it is "immoral" for as subjective as it might be you'll be better off doing that somewhere else

I'm not trying to imply anything, but all bids should be acknowledged by someone in the forum, or else how can we tell the seller isn't putting bids himself?

Did I say this up loud? Ahm, nevermind that, let me just prepare a great deal based on similar rules for, ahm, I don't know, a pair of 6990's and the winner gets, hmmm, 250 btc.

Seriously, though, each bidder NEEDS to come forth and say they placed the bid, or else this is just asking for FUD.

I am not sure if I'm amused or insulted by the tone of your reply... I'll go with amused, it's way too late here to get insulted

The 2 BTC was a half joke, of course, as that will probably only just cover the shipping, but still a base line of what you are willing to accept would be good.

As for the USD price, I understand the "I bought it for..." thing, I really do, but that serves very little guidance here. You don't use it, so it's not worth the price you paid when new, it is worth only what you can get for it, assuming it's enough to get you to part with the device. For base I saw http://www.amazon.com/Sony-PRS-505-LC-Digital-Reader/dp/B000WP2RC2 where you get it new for $250 and used starts at $135. Of course these used ones have a bunch of perks attached, like amazon as an escrow, the knowledge that there is some warranty and if you don't get what you ordered you can just take it back for a refund.

Which means that, in all seriousness I can see myself giving something in the order of 5 BTC, maybe a little more if the rate goes any deeper, though I've got a feeling we'll see some mild uptrend now.

And the previous month (June)? When is/was the draw? Oh, and btw, I don't remember if I entered an email address when first signing up, and honestly I can't find a way to verify that, can you provide some guidance?

Thanks!

So the contest for July has started, but the draw happening on Aug 12 is for the June entries, right?

You should state what kind of low insults you

I assume you are in the US, is the changer multi-voltage?

2 BTC?

And that is why I'm not selling coins now... but your point is well taken.

Hey,

I've upgraded my MacBook Pro memory and now have 2 SODIMMs, 2GB each for sale. These are DDR3 1066MHz.

Any bids? I don't have a base price and will only take bitcoins. It must be enough for the shipping (from Europe) and some change

If you're looking for a PC, sure. But if you want to run OSX (and there are many good reasons to do so) and you want to run it on top tier hardware, there's not much option.

I guess as always it's a good "it depends". I'm not in the US or I'd be trying to lower that price. I know depreciation isn't as big on macs, but 20% off for a used machine? I'd put the 20% and buy a spanking new one, yet otherwise I'd certainly be interested.

I have completed a deal with teesee a little while ago for 8 BTC (at a slightly better price for me ) via amazon uk gift card and all went perfectly well. This would be my +1 on otc, if he were a member there.

Being part of the "teenager" community (i.e, not a newcomer by any rate, yet not a hardcore old timer) I gotta say I resent that comment. You are putting the handful of members that requested a part on the stolen goods and then saying the community, the whole 1000s of members worth of community, should be somewhat better and you are disappointed at the whole of it?

I don't know the whole story (nor do I care at this point) but that kind of reasoning seems to be in the very root of what triggered the whole drama

So, wait a minute, did I understand this correctly? AnonX and some other dudes (or dudettes) gave you -10 on -otc for stuff you did, or they thought you did to other people, thus calling you a scammer? And then you scammed them (or at least him/her/it) to get even, thus proving them right?

Confused... head hurts... is that, like, reversed karma alignement? So they got bit for calling you something you became in the process of getting revenge?

Gotta... sit for a bit.

They did, in fact, have a premonition then? Can we get AnonX's view on how the BTC market will be next week? Should I buy or sell?

In all seriousness, I'm very much opposed to bad mouthing or scamming for that matter, and this is a tale of both. It was however a good laugh and a wonderful lesson for all newcomers to this trade. Kudos to FoodSt4mP for doing this as an exercise of teaching and not just bragging! And better luck next time AnonX, you should know better (for both abusing the rating system and then getting scammed)...

Oh, and I DON'T want no btc from this whole deal, way too many moral implications
