You are welcome to you own opinions. :-). I just see this matter resembling the recent Citizens United case where the supreme court ruled that it was legal for corporations to fund political orgs anonymously. The EFF accepting bitcoin donations is not a supreme court ruling but it is more of the principle of accepting anonymous bitcoin donations. The EFF at the moment appears to be on Bitcoin's side and hopefully the association/relationship continues to grow.

Ok, I sensed this was coming and should have known. I changed the title in the blog.

I removed the bitcoin addy altogether. No biggie for me.

This reminds me of the movie Swordfish with John Travolta where he hacked 256-bit encryption with ease. At the end of the movie he hacked 1024-bit encryption, I think. LOL!

Well, it takes some time for the bitcoins to confirm. Maybe do an instant payment via Mt. Gox or mybitcoin.com and it would be instant.

No, not yet. Margin trading makes it very volatile. Maybe when the bitcoin is more stable.

So you're not going to tell us what you will do with the bitcoins?
Is it really anyone's business? It's the buyer to determine whether his business is private or not. |

This is a serious offer.
I'm sure there are some old timers here sitting on a big pile of BTC. It would drive the market way down if they dumped it so they can't really sell it. Just like it would spike the market if I tried to buy up all this BTC.
So hopefully you are out there and will send me a PM and we can make a deal.
I've worked out how we can make the transaction without risk to either party.
So you're not going to tell us what you will do with the bitcoins? |

ummm, hope you don't mind me asking but what do you plan to do with 300K bt

Many, many people have bought 10,000 BT on Mt. Gox. This is not a big deal for me or for those who've been able to buy and get their bitcoins on Mt. Gox. Either you trust Mt. Gox, bitcoinmarket, individual users etc. or you don't. I think it is more a matter of trust than the fact that the bitcoins are "backed". I supposed "backed" bitcoins could earn more trust, but I think trust is built over time. Although Valerius may have a somewhat of a good point he just seems to be on the verge of paranoia on this matter.

I don't understand him either. I don't LR should be the standard to claim Bitcoins is 'backed'. He didn't answer my question about bitcoinmarket.com which is peer-to-peer and direct payments are made.

>But now there doesn't seem to be any difference. And as a bitcoin buyer you have like 5 minutes of exposure.
Let's make it a little more...
I'm able to buy 10k btc with fresh LR money that is real money not hot air backed numbers.
Valerius
What's important about Mt. Gox's "hot air backed numbers" is the volume. The volume is above 41,000 today so you could buy 10,000 bitcoins at approximately Mt. Gox's advertised price. Remember, you can always set a limit order and not a market order. If you were buying above volume then you have a point, but since you are only buying 10,000 then it's not a major issue. Sorry but if the money is not there the volume is nothing more than Hot air. Again, show me the money. Valerius Please explain how you want Mt. Gox to "show you the money". Would bitcoinmarket.com peer-to-peer method to buy bitcoins satisfy your requirement? |

mtgox, can u offer withdraws via paypal? withdraws won't have chargebacks. if no, then why not?
Withdrawal... from what account? mtgox noted at the beginning of this thread that PayPal froze his account, possibly up to 180 days. After reviewing mtgox's posts, I don't see anything that has changed that fundamental situation. And creating a second PP account, just for withdrawals, would not only endanger the first (frozen) PP account, but would inflict additional LR->PP transfer fees on the withdrawer. I deposited usd into mt gox with paypal. So if Mt Gox's PayPal was not frozen I should be able to withdraw my money back directly into my PayPal account. r u hoping that mt gox not get a second paypal account just so the first paypal acct has a likely chance to bcome unfrozen? I'm ok with that too. but once unfrozen I should b able 2 make usd withdraws into my pp acct. I do not want 2 go through liberty reserve. |
