like i have already said, i am not asking for coins right now. i just want you to negotiate with me. i will start to pay back the people i burned before i ask you for coins. but i will not start paying back until you negotiate with me. if my terms are not acceptable for you tell me one last and final time and i will fuck off for good.
Pathetic. Matthew made a mistake and is doing his best to make amends. You are just trying to gain attention and/or BTC. You won't get any of the latter. |

Sorry, Otoh! Looks like this might just happen  |

You could try to arrange something on here.
If you have some BTC held in escrow with a trusted member, it might not be that hard getting someone to lend you USD.

Confirmed. This loan has been repaid in full, thanks Scott J! Just a FYI for anyone reading, Scott J has another loan from me for $400 that is going to be repaid over a slightly longer period. |

would a UK version of coinlab require the same regulatory approval as an exchange? as I see it coinlab sell you a certain number of BTC at a set price, selling it as a commodity rather than being involved in a currency exchange. It would seem to me that would be much easier to operate as you would essentially be selling virtual goods as opposed to currency trading. I have seen an offer for a uk based site in the marketplace run along similar lines and was considering it's potential.
Hmmm. What about selling a blank casacius coin as a commodity, that is loaded by the client to 'play' with. Does that redefine any regulatory requirements, or obviate anything for the better? I guess that question may end up being rhetorical! That's an interesting thought - how about a casascius coin that won't be funded until a certain date, that could dodge some regulations?  |

I could really do with him paying me back.

I have a couple transactions stuck in no confirm limbo at the moment. Been waiting close to 5 hours now. This is one of the cons with Bitcoin.
Same here! I have two unconfirmed transactions, sent almost five hours ago. I didn't add a fee as there doesn't seem to be an option on the Blockchain app. If it asks me to include one, I always say yes. |

for the $1B prize we would need a BTC price of approx $95 if it was to be in 2013 which seems possible now, if over $100 (?) happens before mid April roughly (need to calculate coins issued times price) then Scott J would win the times two doubling prize for a total of 20 BTC all together. If anyone wants to make a massive purchase and push the price over $100, I'll be happy to part with 1 BTC of the prize as compensation. Surely that's enough incentive  |

Competitive fees. I will try at some point I'm sure  |

WOW! This is really amazing I obviously thought it so unlikely that I would win either prize, let alone standing a chance of winning the 20 BTC!! Thank you, Otoh - this was a really fun competition and is very generous of you Sending to this address would be great - 1ScottJJpqTCBbTqnPa7Dyak5cfBPhtdh My pleasure: https://blockchain.info/tx/a6b9e02b65c77883c7c8a32ff39678dfd05f421797d51fec55b4aa2285cf7adf Good luck for the $1B double prize, you should make some headlines if you've predicted that one correctly too I can but hope I love that there's a public note on the blockchain.info transaction - I assume you have added this somehow? Thanks again |

That was a no brainer! I got £25 on at 10/1 just before they dropped the odds to 7/2. So the next £250 I put into BTC is risk free Lol, think you scared them I tried to put £100 on, but they said max bet was £25.... as soon as I placed the bet the odds dropped. |

I think the value is what needs to be refunded. That is about 40BTC right now. That way, no one is really at a loss. Of course, my reasoning falls apart when you consider that if the price of gold doubled then it would be ok to send only half an ounce; if you consider things as only the value they represent. But, Gold is a commodity and Bitcoin is a currency. Bitcoins represent buying power, and so if 40 BTC were refunded then the gold coin could just be bought elsewhere. This way no one could hedge anyone (as far as the currencies are concerned).
WTF? Scenario: - Buyer pays you 100 BTC for something.
- BTC's worth doubles in USD.
- You don't send what Buyer ordered.
- Buyer (obviously) wants a refund.
- You'd then try to only owe Buyer 50 BTC?
The only one getting screwed would be the Buyer. Comparative value is meaningless. The Buyer cares about what he paid in his/her bitcoin. Alternatively, if bitcoin became half as much in USD, Buyer would still be owed 100 BTC. How is it possible to not see how unfair it is to be refunded in anything other than the original amount? IT IS THIS SIMPLE |

I received an e-mail back today offering to refund the coins. They informed me that you can only use their deposit addresses once. Once I have the coins I'll update the OP I <3 Mullvad Same - a great service that I recommend to anyone who'll listen. |

This is possible, yes.
Hopefully the next post will explain exactly how unlikely it is to happen.
