Willing to sell it to you for 0.75BTC the amount I bought it for.
So, I just want to make sure I understand. According to your logic here, if someone broke in to my house, and made off with my 60" Plasma TV, then sold it to someone, I would be expected to pay the person back who bought it from the thief? ... No. It is more like he went to the OP's house, paid for it and didn't get a receipt. Then the seller is claiming that he did not actually sell the TV The analogy would work a bit better if we substitute "passport" (or "ID") for "Plasma TV." nope because there is no real reason to sell your passport however there are legit reasons to sell your bitcointalk account. |

A $12 scam, ruining a member account?  Seriously, that person could of made more money by joining a signature campaign, since its soon to be a full member. But damn, she could of sold her account before $12 scam, or something. Either shes on drugs, or she hasnt tooken the account of scamming really too seriously being a newbie scammer for $12 lol. she scammed multiple people. She scammed someone else for ~$50 and there was an additional person who was claiming delays in receiving their keys. |

According to your logic here, if someone broke in to my house, and made off with my 60" Plasma TV, then sold it to someone, I would be expected to pay the person back who bought it from the thief? Because I'm thinking that it would be confiscated, and given back to it's rightful owner. I know it's unpleasant, and financially harmful, to be taken advantage of in this way, but seriously, it's like a hostage situation, and it's somewhat ugly. I can understand completely that you want your "money" back... but fair is fair. The noblest thing to do would be to give the "TV" back. Asking to help you out by offering you something so you don't lose your whole amount? Yeah - don't blame you for trying. Expecting to get your whole purchase price back? I think that's a bit of an unreasonable request. If your car gets stolen because you left it unlocked with the keys in it, the person that the thief sold it to doesn't get to keep it just because it was "your own fault". Nor does he get to charge you what he paid for it before he returns it. At this point, any offer made to you would be generous, because no offer should have to be made. But maybe that's just my twisted logic. Not looking for any arguments, merely trying to understand this better. No. It is more like he went to the OP's house, paid for it and didn't get a receipt. Then the seller is claiming that he did not actually sell the TV |

Yup. I haven't looked into your specific claims however he had scammed someone else just a few days ago. He asked me to remove my negative trust and claimed that the screenshots from semantic were forged however he refused to let me (or someone else trustworthy) view the relivant PMs in his account and said he was going to create a new account to sell MSDN codes. It looks like he pulled an exit scam.
 Maybe you can ban his IP? Thank you anyway. people do not get banned because they scam. You need to take proper precautions when you trade. |

Do you happen to know which specific address that you sent funds to were? Have you checked on a block explorer to see if the coins are still showing up as being unspent?
Is that specific address showing up in electrum? (That you sent funds to). If not then one of two things most likely happened, 1- you input the incorrect seed causing different addresses to be recovered or 2- you had previously funded an address after more then 20 addresses from the first one and did not change the gap settings when you restored the wallet.

IMO the rates should be adjusted for the withdrawal commission. The fees will go up though if people start using their debit card.
Lowering fees for campaign payout withdrawal was already suggested and Marco told he will/is talk(ing) to them but couldn't get an update on it. He may have forgot it. If he can't get the fees lowered then to be transparent he should adjust the advertised rate by .5%, otherwise he is being misleading. |

I personally think there are too many fees associated with participating in this campaign and the advertised rate is really not accurate.
0.5% withdrawal commission. I loose 0.0015+ BTC per week but this is okay for me. IMO the rates should be adjusted for the withdrawal commission. The fees will go up though if people start using their debit card. |

I had no idea US residents couldn't receive the card. I was probably not getting one as the inactivity fee is quite high and most months I would not use it. Now I have no choice to make.
When it comes to the expression "any day" I take this literally, from the beginning to the end of time.
You could try get it shipped to someone outside the US then straight to you. I don't think these cards would be worth it with the fees anyway but that depends on personal opinion. They would be pretty handy if they weren't so costly to keep active. i am not sure why anyone would want to pay so much just to have near instant access to fiat via Bitcoin. It really is not difficult to get verified on coinbase ect where you would probably get a better rate and wouldn't have all these crazy fees. If you don't want to use an exchange you could just sell in currency exchange and would probably get a pretty decent rate, and would probably net you more money after fees. I personally think there are too many fees associated with participating in this campaign and the advertised rate is really not accurate. |

Thanks mate. Whose next or am I the last?   this is obvious spam. I think this probably qualifies to have them removed, however either way it is not going to affect you. IMO anyone that attacks someone based on their race is deducted credibility points in my book and are generally not going to be listened to. |

Fair enough. If you would be able to offer any other digitally scarse asset with a value above the amount of the loan then I would probably be able to help you. Otherwise I really don't offer no collateral loans.
(People want a older account for prestige and respect that is associated with being a part of the community for a long time)

Can you offer your account as collateral?
I don't see how my account offers any value. accounts are traded in the digital goods section all the time. The most common reason that people buy accounts is to participate in signature deals. However there are other reasons as well, for example having the prestige of owning a having a high level account. |

Yea I saw and reported that thread for being misfiled. For some reason he thought him creating a thread should have been considered "news".
I am pretty much 100% that this is complete BS and I honestly find it hard to believe that the OP (or WC) seriously think that anyone will actually believe this.
I don't have stats on how many physicals that have been loaded with 5 btc has ever been created but I somewhat doubt that there are 1,000

They do and I have one. You may purchase through cryptothrift's escrow and verify it is legit before releasing.
well if PIA doesn't sell two year subscriptions themselves then how did you aquire it yourself? I wouldn't prrsomally trust a website escrow as it is easily manipulated |

Does PIA sell two year subscriptions? According to their website the only options are for monthly, 6-monthly and annual subscriptions |

1 - I am not an attorney and more importantly, I am not your attorney so I cannot give you legal advice. However I think you might need a MSB license (I assume you are US based) if you are buying my bitcoin and then selling a similar amount on an exchange then you may be a money transmitter. I would suggest consulting an attorney that is familiar with AML laws/regulations.
I personally usually use coinbase to buy bitcoin (and sell bitcoin when applicable) when I am in need of bitcoin. Some people have had bad experiences with them canceling orders, however if you can deposit money into your USD wallet and then buy bitcoin with funds in your USD wallet then most of your problems should be solved. However I believe they frown upon using bitcoin that is purchased from them for gambling.
I think the people on LBC and on here likely use an exchange to hedge their exchange rate risk and will generally buy from an exchange anytime they sell bitcoin. (and vice versa when they buy bitcoin)
3 - WU apparently is known to sue people receiving funds from them when the sender later disputes it, although I am not sure on how much credibility this statement has. If you are going to accept a BOA cash deposit then I would suggest opening accounts at other major banks as well and accepting deposits at those banks as BOA does not have branches throughout the entire country. When accepting a cash deposit, you should verify with your online banking that it was in fact a cash deposit (by the fact that the entire amount of the deposit is immediately available), and check the receipt to ensure that it shows a cash deposit (if part of the receipt is written on, obscuring parts that would indicate it is or is not a cash deposit then you should assume that it is not).
4 - I understand that a cash deposit is generally no longer reversible after the bank closes for the day, so you can mitigate that risk by not releasing escrow/the coins until the bank has closed for the day
5 - Feel free to send me a PM and I can walk you through how to use cold storage depending on what setup you want to use and what wallet software you want to use.
What e-wallet are you using currently? blockchain.info? Using tor is good for privacy, but bad for accessing your bitcoin because it is possible that exit nodes can intercept your communication with your online wallet service and potentially steal your bitcoin.

1 - I am not sure what you mean. People that broker bitcoin deals on the forum most likely engage in arbitrage when they sell bitcoin at a 10% premium and then buy it back on an exchange and pocket the difference. (they also buy it at a 10% discount and sell it on an exchange and pocket the difference).
2 - The most fair rate would be the "spot" rate. I would say that either bitstamp or bitfinex "last" rate would be the most fair rate, however if you need to buy or sell quickly and do not wish to use an exchange then you will need to be willing to accept several percentage points outs of your favor. I would say that 5% would be a "fair" rate if you want a deal done quickly. If you are in no rush to execute your trade then I would say 5% in your favor would be fair.
3 - You should start your own business. Just be sure that you know how to sufficiently protect yourself when dealing with various payment methods and selling bitcoin, otherwise you are inviting yourself to get scammed.
4 - Be sure that you know how to protect yourself from getting scammed. This goes beyond using escrow as many people will be willing to send payment first to you but will likely plan on attempting to reverse it later on.
5 - I would hope that you understand cold storage if you are running a bitcoin casino. In very simplistic terms - you should generate the private keys to an address on a computer that has never touched the internet, and then send funds to that address. When you need to spend funds from your cold storage address, you should create an unsigned transaction on a computer with access to an up to date version of the blockchain and then sign such transaction with your cold storage address then send the signed tx back to your internet connected computer and broadcast it to the network. The specific instructions depend on what hardware you are using and what client you are using
6 - This is not a question. Yes some people are able to make 10% on a trade because there are people who need a trade done quickly and/or are ignorant as to what their options are. I am not sure how flexible they are in negotiating their rate

LOL what? What 5,000 BTC hidden treasure are you talking about? I am pretty sure that is 100% BS.
Also these coins were made by someone who was laser engraving coins while they were claiming they were hand carved, so the controversy is going to put negative pressure on the value.
