I am not sure if places like ANACS are able to grade a gold cube, but if they are then getting it graded would help with making a sale more safe for both parties as the grading service would be able to verify what coin cube that is in their sealed holder, even if it gets a poor grade. Other options involve selling to a coin dealer and/or very highly trusted members of the forum who are trusted enough so that you would be willing to send the cube first for them to inspect and verify that it is intact what you claim it to be, and once verified they can pay you a previously agreed upon price.

I don't think this would be a very safe transaction, even with the use of escrow. Even if a buyer was able to sufficiently detect if this is real gold or not (I would think that most people are not) then there is a very high chance there will be some kind of dispute that the escrow will need to mediate and physical goods are difficult to escrow when both of the parties are not reputable because it is very difficult to tell who is telling the truth and to evaluate how credible evidence that both parties present

"most"

1, 2, 3 - NSFW avatars are not allowed. I am not sure what NSFL means, but I assume it is a typo.

4 - there has not been any specific rule against them, however I don't see any real way to enforce such a rule as campaigns could theoretically originate offsite. Plus prohibiting them would be infringing on users' freedom of speech which is generally not something that the forum engages in

5 - The forum follows the law. I assume a copyright holder should request deletion of infringing content the same way they would request that other content be taken down. is how do to it

6, 7 - I have not seen any rule above that NSFW content is not allowed. However limiting these kinds of things would be stepping on freedom of speech. Just because someone has an unpopular view does not mean they should not be able to express it.

8 - I think that would be difficult because only full members+ can have avatars, so it would be pretty difficult to impersonate via both a username and an avatar without being noticed long before you can have an avatar, so you would get negative trust, which would make it much more obvious. Also most avatars have been reused several times by several people.

The "main" account of is a known alt of [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=152722]moreia who is a serial ponzi scammer and has brought down the reputation of a number of people.

I am not sure why anyone with any common sense would ever think it is a good idea to invest in that kind of a ponzi, they all end up running away with investors' money

If someone is giving you a good rate or a good deal then the chances are greater that you are going to get scammed. People offer good deals because they want to quickly get a lot of people to take up their offer

You sign the following message You replace <account>, <email> and <date> with the username of your account, your email address and the current date

2.1 BTC divided by 6 account being sold works out to .35 BTC per account which really isn't that great of a deal, especially considering that the buyer would be buying in bulk.

This is not specifically mentioned in your OP, but are you able to sign messages from old addresses associated with each of the accounts?

No. When you use a wallet software to sign a message you will receive an output (signature) that cryptographically verifies that you are in control of the private key.

For example when I sign the below message with the address 1HeMohwT8zbdf1XWd3C6TEvFiR2DtDpxFy I receive the following output/signature:

The address is your bitcoin address and the signature is the signature that gets output when you sign the message you are signing

That account is tagged as being an alt of moreia. Two questions

1- are you able to prove ownership of your account either with a signed message or otherwise?

2- did you at one point download what could have been malware and/or click on a link that you received in the chat of a gambling site?

Trial courts make mistakes all the time. If he is facing penalties above the max allowed as per the law then he would win an appeal of the penalty.

I don't know evough facts about that case to make an informed, unbiased conclusion if he broke the law or not, however just because you are collecting money for chairity does not mean you are exempt from panhandling where doing so is illegal.

why should this matter? One would result in the miles essentially being sold for cash and the other would result in a barter transaction. What is wrong with either result?

Illegal - no, unless bartering is illegal in your jurisdiction (I can't imagine it being illegal anywhere).

As Danny mentioned above, there is a chance that selling your miles is against the TOS of the program and could result in some kind of civil action against you (although the much more likely scenario is that your account would be closed along with the person who purchased them) and there would be zero chance of criminal charges.

That is a horrible idea. Anything on your tax return cannot be used against you unless you are being charged with tax fraud/evasion and/or other tax related crimes. There is no reason to commit additional crimes when what you are likely doing in the first place is not illegal.

yes that is a mistake. If you verified the message you would see it was signed on April 2 and the address had no transactions until April 2

sure no problem. Just make it public what the exact new due date is and I would be willing to continue to hold escrow funds until then.

your trust/reputation is not worth 1 btc. I don't think anyone is going to give you a loan and if they do they will likely never see their money again.

orryde cannot post from his account. I confirm that I have received the escrow fee and it looks like the address he posted received .0925 btc.

@orryde - please repay to the address that I quoted above.

why wouldn't the lender just buy that altcoin themselves and get all the benefit of any price appreciation? You need to provide collateral that is above the value of the amount of the loan to protect the lender from a prove decline of the collateral.
