Why no police report ?
This question is the most important. Bitcoinica really missed the boat on this one. Who gives a damn whether the cops know shit about Bitcoin. When you go to sue someone, having a police report is helpful even if they did nothing with it. |

I emailed Eddy a few times a week or 2 ago about his OCSP servers acting up, and he told me that they found an issue that didn't trigger their monitoring system even though it should have. Sounds like one of the servers in the cluster was low on resources, and I got hit because I have strict OCSP validation turned on. Perhaps this is more of the same and I haven't been hit since I'm using a different server in the cluster.
As far as I know though, it should only affect those that strictly validate OCSP. Has anyone who is affected contacted Eddy about it?

Chessbase is one of the world's largest chess site.
They are selling "ducats" for euros to pay for chess lessons or chess games with grand masters.
Why not get them to offer bitcoins instead of these crummy ducats of theirs.
Damn, I've seen your site under your profile pic "e-ducat.fr" but it wasn't until you mentioned Ducats that I clicked. I'm so slow - ducat is money, so bitcoin == e-money. |

Be sure to LOL at him heartily and inform him that there is no CEO, because there is no corporation, because there is no single controlling entity.
Also, Bit-pay and/or Paysius.

Strange, it shows SPF as Hardfail, and still let it through? Usually softfail will let it through and mark it as spam, but hardfail should delete it immediately.

I was disappointed that the bit-pay receipt did not include a line-item listing of what was purchased.
I didn't get a receipt from Bit-pay, I got one from BFL. It looked like they were using a callback API or something. And the only detail mine had was the order number. |

I've added a warning to the top of /pools.
Thank you! Looks good. |

It's frustrating because I'd rather support Bit-Pay than a big bank / PayPal / Dwolla but I feel like they're margin gouging beyond what's reasonable in the market. Even MtGox & Virwox do not have 7% fees on BTC -> USD.
Did you notice how they had so many BTC from these pre-sales that they would have killed the liquidity on all exchanges except mtgox, and would have caused a dip to under $6 on the gox? Now they have to get rid of the coins without going broke. That's why they charge so much. |

Wait so even though you got a higher offer with shipping to the US that will cost less, you are going to skip it?

Dear Bit-Pay,
We all know that in business, you have to make a profit, but as a payment processor, your profit should be primarily taken from fees on the merchant's side. You do charge these fees at 2.69%. Brilliant.
Bitcoin spot price right now is $6.31, but according to your site, you're treating each Bitcoin as just $6.04. This is almost a hidden 5% fee being levered on the customer as well. At no time in the past 3-4 days has a Bitcoin been worth as little as $6.04. This isn't a weighted market average, it's just price gouging.
You're essentially charging fees exceeding 7% whilst claiming to be cheaper than PayPal and Credit Card. It's not good business practice, it's bordering on fraud, and I hope that either you get your act into gear or BFL find a more consumer-friendly payment gateway.
I was planning to use BitPay for my next BFL order, but now I think I'll just wire it.
[/rant]
Yay, entrepreneurship! And, as you have done, just skip them if you don't like it. It's not fraud from the merchant's perspective, and the customer can use other methods at their discretion. |

I have yet to be entertained. Sorry.
You probably won't ever be, sorry. |
