Would have went with a cowboy hat on

Hi,

I just seen your post and applied to join your corp. I see your looking to drop a POS does the corp have high enough standing to anchor one? If you just need a tower I may be able to assist with that I have a couple spares laying around.

Is there a ts, mumble, or vent server?

Yeah, skype sort of replaces that now'n days for my group at least, we just skype call when we want to do something and add who's interested, a lot simpler than setting up TS/vent for everyone.

Now we a have registration on our website.
You can make a deposit and put or call faster and easier.

MPOE-PR, thanks for an article.
Regarding to your steps:
1. WOT account is created (your recomendation)
2. Our experience in bitcoin related projects is more than a year so we had a time to study.
3. BTClevels is a bitcoin binary options and that's it. That's why our business plan is the same as others. We have development and marketing plans but they are constantly changing.

Seems that you don't understand what is the point of "Escrow service". It's target is to protect BOTH SELLER and BUYER. You think that it should protect properly only seller?

I think that "two days in escrow" is better solution to you than lost bitcoins.

You may use LB advanced settings to prevent such a situation in future. I have traded quite a lot in LB and I have been in same situation than you. But because first-time buyer limit is low, big amount of bitcoins never held in escrow for long times.

I don't believe it! Coinjar has yet to be hacked the first of three times prior to going into liquidation with the remaining funds secure at Mt Gox.

Any chance of the bitcoins falling outta your pocket while laying on the sofa? Remove the cushions to make sure.

I think people need to revisit the concept of provably fair.

First, lets give some examples of my gold standard for provably fair:

1: blockchain games that user the players txid (or another input they have no control over) and a daily site secret.
This imho is still as good as it gets, the entire betting history is public and anyone could choose perform an audit to verify outcomes.

2: Any site that shows you a hash of the site seed used for the next round and allows for users to provide their own seed or randomly generates one for them.
This is as good as it gets without a publically auditable db. Bonus points for no blockchain spam as well.

Now lets look @ 'Provable Results'.

2: Any site that shows you a hash of the site seed used for the next round and does not allow users to provide their own seed.

This is not provably fair, this is only provable results.

What is the difference you ask and why are you such a prick about these things site operators ask ?

Let me use my favourite game roulette as an example.
I as an operator silently observe the bettors and pick their patterns (red/ martingale/ singles/ whatever).
I pre-generate a huge sample of site seeds and client seeds (remember the client cannot set their own) and then cherry pick the results I want.

Say we had a player martingaling their bets on red, to fucking easy throw out 10 blacks and then insist they were randomly selected where in actual fact there is no proof of randomness only proof of result.

I have previously been to lenient on this and will be revisiting and speaking with casino operators who have (conveniently ?) overlooked this.

Flu meds wearing off, back to the tv and my heater.

I think this discussion has been here a few times already and I completely agree with you.

Good one.  Some of the ASIC companies, and investers could be slightly unhappy if that happened.

Hmm, Discussion started by a "potential" competitor.........

What happened with "sending out shareholders data"?
Did you guys received anything?

It's almost a year and I haven't received a single email and (as expected) i was never sent BTCs that i had on GLBSE account.

So, it's game over i guess?

Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

MTGOX.com has not paid us since 26th of June, have others also experience the same with them?

Dear All,

I would like to express my apologies to anyone who has had difficulty corresponding with Tradehill.

Hmm...  I'm going to say SCAM until proven otherwise.

The value of bitcoin relies on the circulation and trust of bitcoins, the more people uses, the more places accepts bitcoin, the more value they are.
My question is how do you make it by only saving them in the wallet?

The worse part, it is like he is not even putting much effort into it.  Couldn't he take a few minutes to lift a photo from Linked in?  Pretty lazy scammer.

Coindesk has lost all journalistic integrity in my book.

Oh no!  This case is going to set a lot of legal precedents regarding bitcoin.  If he doesn't have a top notch legal team, many of those precedents are likely to be detrimental to bitcoin.

Even if it's debatable if the Better Ripple end is above or below epsilon, it's still undebatable that Ripple - Ripplescamcoin = Better Ripple.

I posting it after getting no help from localbitcoins.com and no responses from the buyer. They holding my bitcoins hostage at "escrow" while buyer shopping/waiting for the best price.

And so after numerous good faith attempts to resolve this issue with both buyer and localbitcoins.com exchange (which actually has a great interface and quite user friendly) I have to post it here to attract attention to localbitcoins' quality of support and policies that hurts sellers.

So here's how you (seller) can be screwed. Say, you want to sell a few bitcoins. You transfer bitcoins to localbitcoins.com wallet.
You post an ad to sell at localbitcoins.com at a certain price point.

So here is a technique fraudulent buyers (sorachi11 in my case) are using:

• He goes to "buy bitcoins" section, clicks "Buy" on your ad and then "send trade request"
• At this point your problem begins: localbitcoins.com transfers bitcoins from your wallet to their "escrow" account. Which means there is NOTHING you can do unless buyer pays (which is not going to happen) or 48 hours or so passes
• Seller sends you a few PM's about "payment in progress" BS and then goes to buyers section and opens an ad to purchase bitcoins at a lower price point.
• You do not receive timely (like 10 hours after) payment from buyer and open ticket with localbitcoins.com
• In a few hours - you get a reply (actual reply here): "Since the buyer has been active yesterday, it's best to wait a little if he'll respond. Normal dispute process can be started 48 hours after payment has been marked complete"
• Now you realize that you're out of your bitcoins for at least 48 hours, while fraudster is checking the market prices for the best opportunity: if price of bitcoins goes high - he (with the help of localbitcoins.com) is holding your funds hostage at a fixed price level. If price goes lower - he'll buy stuff from someone at a lower price point.

Fraud bonus tip: No one prevents fraudulent buyer to open a few different accounts with different emails and freeze assets of a number of sellers, effectively locking them out of fast changing marketplace for 48 hours.

At this point, after more than 35 hours passes since buyer froze my bitcoins at localbitcoins's escrow - i get neither any response from buyer, nor any other response from localbitcoins (besides the one listed above) nor access to any of my bitcoins.

I hope that eventually i might get my bitcoins back and so that other sellers would be beware of my experience.

Heh, this is like the game I couldn't get anyone to want to play on #bitcoin-otc.
